Sweet Heavenly Father,
Lord, I am on my knees seeking strength from you. I seek not just for myself but for so many friends etched on my heart, for those across our nation, and for Yours around Your beautifully created world.
Father, many of us are tired.
We are drained of our physical strength due to health and due to the fight that is happening, visible and invisible. We stand armed in your strength, then we fall before You weak and in need of Your strength yet again. Thank you for faithfully filling us when we need it. Thank you for holding us when we need that rest. Thank you for understanding our flesh and for giving us Your Spirit.
How spoiled we are by Your love!
Lord God, may I ask for Your Word to be imprinted on our minds right now. Lord, that the Truth, the Life, the Way that each of us need right now in our individual path will be imprinted on our minds. Father, that we will see, that we will hear, that we will breathe in the Word you speak over us right now.
Selah.
Wherever she may be, I pray your daughter will find rest and healing and strength in You and in Your grounded and most faithful Truth this very moment.
In the name of Jesus Christ, our Risen Savior, I pray these things over myself and over the sweet friend that is praying with me through these simple words.
Pour over us Your love, Your presence, Your strength!
1 John 4:8 slips so sweetly into my mind and causes my heart to skip a beat. Thank you, Lord God, for the concrete truth of Your love!
God, in light of 1 John 4:8, I do pray for the person that does not know Your love. I pray the knowledge of who You are will resonate within her. I pray she will grasp the love in which you freely gift her through the life and death of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
I pray her eyes will be opened to the power of Jesus Christ. That she will know and that she will believe that Jesus died on the cross for her sins, that He was buried in the grave, and that Jesus Christ rose again on the third day just as it was proclaimed in Scripture.
Father, I pray salvation upon her heart as she believes in Your Son and as she proclaims with her mouth that You alone are God, the very God who loves her so personally, so faithfully.
Friend, if you are hearing about Jesus for the first time today will you join me here. I would love to hear from you. ❤️
Jaclyn
