Respite For the Weary
Isaiah 9:6
For a child will be born to us, a Son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
Matthew 1:21-23
And she will bear a Son, and you will call His name Jesus... for it is He who will save His people from their sins. Now all this took place that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled saying, “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which translated means “God with us”.
My Child,
Accept Me.
Accept My gifts. Jesus
The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you; for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:9-10
Dear Lord,
May you be our only stronghold! Everything else fails! Help us to release our tight grip on what we think is best and then make a deliberate choice to hold onto your trustworthy promises, especially in difficult times. Cause us to cling to you with hope, both for the present moment and for the future. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
