Respite For the Weary
And He said to me, "Prophecy over these bones, and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.'"… so I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they came to life, and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.
Ezekiel 37: 4, 10
Dear Breath of Life,
I pray for my children when they experience feelings of hopelessness and dismay. Cause them to turn to Your word so that You can "breathe" new life and Your great power into their hearts and minds. May they hear Your word, and obey Your word with a thankful spirit.
For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him, since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have. Philippians 1:29-30
Dear Lord,
We tend to be great with words such as "faith" and "blessing," but we don't want to come near words like "suffer" and "struggle." Help us to embrace all that you have for us, in the highs and the lows. Give us your strength when it's hard, and give us your meekness when things are good. May we bear your light in all circumstances. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
