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.
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water who sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when the heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit. Jeremiah 17: 7-8
Dear Lord,
Renew our trust in you today. May we lean in fully to your endless strength and your intentional love. Like a tree, plant us deep by your living water so that when we send out our roots by faith, they grow strong , unwavering and secure. As a result, may we bear your fruit even in (and mostly in) the hardest of circumstances. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
