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.
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free." John 8:31-32
Dear Lord,
First and foremost may we know the truth of you are, Savior of the world AND Savior of our individual hearts. Then, we ask you to give us a desire to abide in your living word, trusting it completely so we can experience freedom like we've never known! Help us to realize everything else is the opposite, binding us to lesser gods that ultimately cause hardship rather than blessing. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
