Respite For the Weary
O afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in antimony, and your foundations I will lay in sapphires. Moreover, I will make your battlements of rubies, and your gates of crystal, and your entire wall of precious stones. And your sons will be taught of the Lord; and the well-being of your sons will be great.
Isaiah 54: 11-13
O God of Peace,
Please come in and steady the hearts of my children when they are weary, confused, sad, or lonely. Rebuild their faith in You, I pray. Make them beautifully strong once again, causing them to shine Your radiance into this dark world. Help them to remember nothing is impossible with You, O God.
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:14
Dear Lord,
Help us learn from the obvious picture: just as a lit up city on a hill cannot be hidden, we too will shine out when lit up with your abiding light. May we not hide your saving truth! Rather, convict us to be brave with your transforming glory. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
