Respite For the Weary
Thus says the Lord, "Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the Lord. For he will be like a bush in the desert and will not see when prosperity comes, but will live in stony wastes in the wilderness, a land of salt without inhabitant. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose trust is in the Lord. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its root by the stream and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in the year of the drought nor cease to yield fruit.
Jeremiah 17: 5-8
Dear Life-Giver,
I pray that my children would never walk into a situation or season of their lives by trusting in themselves alone. May they know beforehand that without You they can do nothing, and produce nothing. Keep their hearts turned towards You in humble dependence… May they each trust You fully. Cause them to dig deep into who You are, by reading and understanding Your word. And in this place of trust, may they become strong and vibrant and productive through You and FOR You.
Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place--the Most High, who is my refuge--no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will lift you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. Psalm 91:9-11
Dear Lord,
You are our dwelling place, the strong fortress that guards our soul. In your presence, our hearts have unshakeable peace. Almighty God, we beg of you today to command your angels to guard those who are in desperate need of physical protection. Do your supernatural work on behalf of your people. In Jesus Name, Amen.
