Respite For the Weary
Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is the God of justice; how blessed are those who long for Him… He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you.
Isaiah 30: 18-19
Dear God of Justice,
Thank You for not treating us as our sins deserve; instead, You judged Your perfect Son as "guilty" on our behalf. I pray that my children would be awed by this compassion and grace. Cause their hearts to long for You the way You long for them. May they cry out to You in their time of need, having full confidence that You will hear, and that You will come.
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped; then shall the lame man leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute shall sing for joy. For waters break forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert. Isaiah 53:5-6
Dear Lord Jesus,
Our Savior, you came to teach, to serve, to forgive, to redeem, and to heal. Thank you Emmanuel. We rejoice in your goodness to us; we celebrate your love. In your Name, Amen.
