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.
My times are in Your hands. Psalm 31:15
Dear Lord,
You are the Beginning and the End. As we look into this New Year, may we not waste the blessing of time you have given us to live; but rather, help us to cherish our days and number them each as a gift, stepping ever forward with your love and joy and peace. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
