Respite For the Weary

Picture: Vessel (the moldable clay)
Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28, 2:7,18-25; Isaiah 45:9-10; Romans 9:20-21
Write any phrases from the selected Bible verses that speak to you:
In your mind’s eye, see a potter easily bending his working project into the vessel of his choosing. The moldable clay submits contentedly to the potter’s hands. In our life, we can sometimes become dissatisfied with who we are or how things are going (or not going).
Are there circumstances in your life that you wish were different? Explain.
Are you discontent with how you are made…physically, mentally, or emotionally? Spend today confessing these things to the Lord and ask Him to lovingly affirm you exactly the way He designed you.
Write a prayer using the above verses as a reference:
And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him. 1 John 5:14-15
Dear Lord God,
First and foremost, we want your will, not our own. In light of this, we come to you and ask and keep asking, knock and keep knocking; you tell us to bring all our desire before you. Help us to do our part, while you do yours. Thank you that we can trust you in giving us your best answer. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
