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.
See, I have set before you today life and death, good and evil...therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days... Deuteronomy 31: 15,19
Dear Lord,
Help our wandering hearts to choose YOU. For from you, all heavenly blessings flow. Keep us on your path. May we depend on your strong and abiding Spirit to resist temptation. Please help us in every choice we make. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
