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.
Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch...and they filled both boats, so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus’ feet...(Luke 5:4-8).
Dear Lord,
May we never underestimate your power and your purpose. Thank you for allowing us to participate as we step out in faith and obey your voice. Overwhelm us with your unending love one more time today so we can then run and share it with others. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
