Respite For the Weary
Thus says the Lord,
"Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not the rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things, " declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 9: 23-24
Dear Exercising God,
The cry of Your heart is for Your children to understand and know You! Continue to show my children who You are: a God who delights in lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness. May this become what they boast about, nothing else.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:13
Dear Lord,
Help us to not view praying as a waste of time. On the contrary, may we realize that prayer multiplies our time because when we lift our requests to you, you do things more powerfully and efficiently than we could ever do on our own. The extra blessing is that we gain peace in our hearts and minds. So today Lord, with thanksgiving, we will take time to pray...In Jesus' Name, Amen.
