My Precious Lord,
You are our Savior and Deliverer. We rejoice at the mention of Your Name. We praise You for the peace and hope and joy You bring to our lives. May our hearts swell with praises for You, even when life’s problems are beckoning. Isaiah 61:3 instructs us to “put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness” – words that we have employed over and over again. Thank You for this reminder that depression and doubt may be overcome by praise.
“He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:13-14). The preciously shed blood of Jesus – dying on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins – may it not be in vain. This very moment, may each of us bow our head and seek that redemption and forgiveness. May we never become so self-absorbed and arrogant to think that we do not need a Savior.
What a privilege it is to pray for others in need. May we “continue earnestly in prayer” (Colossians 4:2) for each other. I lift the needs of my family, friends and readers of this Blog to you, Lord. May temporary suffering produce eternal results for each of us.
We thank You and praise You, Precious Father, for hearing our prayers. May we offer them to You, believing for Your answers, that will always be the best answer for each request.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name I pray, Amen.
