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.
Behold, I go forward and he is not there, and backward, but I do not perceive him; on the left hand when he is working, I do not behold him; he turns to the right hand, but i do not see him. But he knows the way that i take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold. Job 23:8-10
Dear Lord,
In times of trouble, remind us that you are not absent even when it seems like it. May we say and see with eyes of faith that you are present; you are working; you are refining; and you are good. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
