Respite For the Weary
Below is another devotional prayer written for the purpose of directing hearts to worship the name of the Lord. Other prayers (all beginning with "God, You are") can be found on my website, www.respitefortheweary.com, under the three titles: latest devotional prayers, orThe Heartbeat of God, or The Heritage of God.
Pray with me:
My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness. II Corinthians 12:9
O God, You are Sufficient. Like manna in the morning, Your word gives me exactly what I need. It's there for the taking. Likewise,Your word fills my cup each day, and every day. It's there for the drinking. Yes, thank You for pouring Your love into my heart through the Holy Spirit who has been given to me. I don't deserve this ample love! God, please forgive me when I don't eat from Your manna of mercy or drink from Your cup of confidence. Instead, I choose to feast on the past and become bitter, or I drink in the future and become anxious. These unhealthy habits only rob me of theYourgrace that is sufficientfor me today. Dear Lord, help me to obey You andnot ponder on things of the past, norworry about tomorrow. Fill me up with You today--Your peace, Your strength, Your wisdom. You are more than capable to manage my present. Walk with me in my current weakness, so that I may be completely reliant on Your eternal power. For my heart knows, my sufficiency is from You.
Ex. 16:16-18, Rom. 5:5, II Cor. 12:9, Is. 43:18, Matt. 6:34, II Cor. 3:5
...the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia... Ezra 1:1
Dear Lord God,
We ask for your supernatural stirring inside our human hearts. Move within the hearts of those who do know you, and also of those who don't. Blow your refreshing wind into us so that we not only long to do your will, but we also commit to the task until it it complete. Move mountains first in us, then through us. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
