Let’s Pray for Structure

Good morning Lord God,

How I smile here in your presence.

Such quiet to my soul.

I breathe in your peace.

I breathe out your song of victory.

Selah.

Lord, my prayer this morning, this day, is for the structure you are building upon the foundation of Jesus Christ. Lord, I am a part of that structure. Therefore, Lord God, I pray for me. Father, help me to stand. Help me not to me moved or shaken or weakened by the weight I fain to carry. Remind me of my position as a part of your structure and remind me of all you need/want/desire/plan for me to do -nothing more.

Lord, I pray for those with whom I stand among. The walls, if you will, of this structure. Lord, there is strength in number. May we, as your structure, see your strength among and within us. I pray the same words I prayed for me above upon each individual member of your structure. I pray these words of surety and contentment in who they are -where they are/as they are. Lord, this is my prayer!

Selah

Quiet my soul.

I stand upon the Rock.

I sit in your arms.

Selah.

Jesus, May we set our feet on your sure foundation. May we remember who we are and why we are building.

Lord, that one more soul may know your love for them.

Always, this is the truth.

Forever, Jesus is the answer.

Selah.

Father, my heart desires to spill out so much more. Thankfully your heart knows my thought-prayers and I know you are holding them. May I simply conclude by thanking you for using us as your house?! Help us to be loving and inviting and real and true. Help us to be us as we are clothed in your Righteousness. Help us to breathe in your peace, to breathe out your song of victory. Help us to remain on the Rock, to rest in your arms. Remind us always and forever that Jesus is our reason and our answer.

Lord Jesus, together, as your structure, we declare our admiration and love.

Xoxo

Jesus says, I am praying for you.

Jesus says, I am praying for you:

〰️ I’m not praying only for them (his present disciples) but also for those who believe in me because of their word (You!). (v. 20)

〰️ I pray they will be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. I pray that they also will be in us, so that the world will believe that you sent me. (v. 21)

〰️ I’ve given them the glory that you gave me so that they can be one just as we are one(v. 22)

〰️ I am in them and you are in me so that they will be made perfectly one. 〰️ Then the world will know that you sent me and that you have loved them just as you loved me. (v. 23)


I cannot get enough of John 17 this week. Can you tell? Monday’s post. Tuesday’s post!

To imagine Jesus (before entering into his time of prayer in the garden of Gethsemane) pausing to pray for his followers, for you and for me, is partly too big to comprehend.

The image of this truth has overcome my heart. Reading and rereading as if this prayer, these words, are being spoken in power … today.

Oh, but time is eternal in the Spirit of God, is it not? So, truly, I believe when Jesus prayed this day in 33 AD, his prayer stands equally in relevance and power today in 2019 AD.

I want Jesus’ prayer poured over me! I want the promise of God in Jesus and Jesus in God and Them in me and me in Them to be evident!

Then! Then the world will know and the One in Christ will grow!!

Yes, I am overcome with John 17!

Read it!!
