God,
My heart is silent before you. I crave words to spill at the foot of my Savior, but silence is my only sound. Selah
Father, how sweetly you display your words of love over us. How intimately you meet our individual needs. Father, from the beginning, you sacrificed your Dearest for us. Your only Son. I cannot even fathom the depth of that love. How does a heart begin to process such divine love!
- We are yours.
- You call us to yourself.
- You desire our love.
- You listen to our cries.
- You hear our prayers.
- You heal our wounds.
- You love us.
Father, here we are at your feet. United through the blood. Knit together in your love. Lord, for some of us our words are easily vocalized. Our thoughts, feelings, opinions, and emotions are verbalized in variant tones for you to hear. We thank you for hearing and holding our truths. Some of us are struggling with our statements. Not knowing how to gather our thoughts. Not knowing how to pour out our struggles, thoughts, feelings and emotions.
Lord Jesus, the images on our screens and in our city streets throughout our nation stirs our hearts to spill out words at the foot of the cross. Thank you for hearing our words before they are even expressed.
Our Father, our God. We pray today in trust that you know our truths. And we know that we can trust you with our words just as we have trusted you with our eternity. I pray you will carry the weight of our prayers as a people, as a nation, as a family. Lord, if we cast judgment stones as we pray in honesty to you, will you catch our stones? Lord, catch them, forgive them, erase them, and call them “no more.”
Our nation, our people, our family, our friends, our cities, our jobs, our words, Father, are yours. We trust you to hear, heal and hold them all in your mighty hands.
We love you,
Xoxo
**Ephesians 6:18
