Here’s how my heart is in hope and prayer for you today my beloved saints. I pray you are encouraged knowing someone is here on the other side of the internet believing for you and with you.
I pray that when hard times come, you are not easily shaken. That the faith in the Son of God you’ve so contented for, arises and takes hold of doubt and unbelief, and kicks them out of the garden of your heart when faced with tribulations.
I pray that when Joy floods your soul, that you are able to protect that joy and let no words of men, or fleshly struggle, steal it from you.
I pray that when you feel peace, joy, and right standing with God(kingdom), you are acutely aware that THIS which you are feeling IS LIFE and that this kingdom life should be the normal not the intermittent occasion.
I pray you hold fast to the understanding that you do not have to live in a compromised life lacking the peace of Jesus, joy that comes from salvation, and perpetual right standing through repentance, your belief in and the blood of, Jesus. That there is a manufacturers plan over your life and it looks like the richness of the kingdom of which Jesus is the door into.
I pray that should you fall into discouragement, that you have a truth so deeply planted in you that you rise above the pain and distraction of discouragement by setting your eyes on things above.
I pray you understand that fear, doubt, anxiety, guilt, shame, condemnation, hopelessness, depravity, and depression, and all of these things have no right in a Child of the most high God. You are letting enemy walk into your heart and soul and steal from you. Trust and know that God will restore you through time in the secret place if you find yourself any perpetual state of these fleshly strongholds.
I pray when physical pain comes upon you, that you understand God didn’t do this, that it was not His plan, that you not falsely accuse Him or ascribe some false responsibility to Him because you are having trouble enduring. I would that you remember in the midst of the pain, that this is a bi-product of the fallen flesh NOT GOD but God is willing and able to sustain, touch, and bring wholeness to you according to His will and time.
I pray in moments of overwhelm from physical battles, you trust even more in the Lord that He has made you whole by His stripes and He will bring healing to you! Be it now, or in eternity. Remember that He makes ALL THINGS NEW and His word does not lie. That you endure in hope, faith, trust, and love when the enemy tries to discourage and distract your through pain. I pray you don’t set up camp in the land of things below, that you move through, onward and let it work spiritual growth in you while you await the manifestation of His promises of healing.
I pray in times of weariness, it works for your good in that it increases your ability to lean on Jesus. This gives Jesus a great opportunity to show the joy of His salvation to you afresh and new! I pray you remember that He is familiar with your struggle and He knows everything about enduring. That you take hope that because He overcame, you have overcome, and all it takes to win is to hide yourself in Him. I hope you cling to Holy Wisdom given to you in the word that In weariness ALWAYS put on a garment of praise; be bold, and speak to your mountains, and claim His victory. It was finished and given to you as your inheritance when you believed and became born again.
I pray you learn the secret to contentment is not having more but thanking God in all things. That the increase you need usually comes on the other side of a deep understanding taking root. An understanding that for whatever you desire that is Holy, need, or seemingly lack, His grace is always MORE than enough. When you grasp this and grow through thanking Him for what seems like not enough, you will alway have more than enough and be free from fear of lack.
I pray should you ever feel alone, you remember that God doesn’t do “alone.” From the very beginning He has been the holy trinity, making man (us) in their image and likeness. When He formed you, it was always father, son, holy spirit at work. Would He then leave you alone? NEVER! He is with us now and through all of eternity. I pray you remember that loneliness is a lie. It’s a strong feeling but your feelings must bow to truth and IT IS WRITTEN that you are never alone.
I pray when others come to you, no matter their posture, that you are Jesus to them. If His love is in you then you are graced with a supernatural enablement to be love one to another in a capacity that is beyond yourself. I pray you discover the ease to forgive and forget, the ease to heal when wounded, the ease to restore and restitute that comes when you love deeply with love that is not of yourself but is SUPERnatural.
I pray for your peace concerning your lost loved ones. That you take refuge in that Jesus was God enough to reach you, He is able to reach them. I pray that you are patient with the Lord in this, at His timing, His methods of drawing them, His ways. Blessed are those who are not offended in Him. Sometimes we want what we know is Holy but we want it done our way and our timing. I pray you are released from this anxiety and thrust into increased trust through this trial if you ever face it.
I pray for financial increase. I pray that you would see that He meets all your needs when you walk according to His laws. He is responsible for His creation! Tithing, sowing and reaping, first fruits and other wisdom He has given us are for us to be blessed, I pray you seek to see and listen to hear what He has to say about these things that you would never be stuck and always out of the reach of the poverty mindsets.
That if you are stuck in perpetual lack, you seek the Lord for instruction and give Him what you have in your hands so He can be released in your finances. I pray you never try to get something you want or need from God without relationship. That’s no better than paying for sex (God forbid!). Trying to get something you want / need from someone you are not in covenant or relationship with. This is holy wisdom and if there is conviction, let there be no condemnation, God is not angry and is ready to get us on track.
Lastly, I pray you never forsake the secret place and time alone with Him. This is where relationship, intimacy, breakthrough, success, surrender, healing, wholeness, sound mindsets, power, authority, comfort, joy, and peace are found in unending rivers of living water that are continually flowing in the spirit realm for you to drink from if you’ll just take the time. He is worth it! He deserves our time, our focus, our devotion…why? Because He loved us first. Need any other reason?
I pray these things, and hope these things for you always. Growth through every struggle, and just go ahead and pay the cost to know Him more, you’ll never regret it. Let go of anything that cost you fellowship with Him. If you empty your heart before him and give Him everything, He will fill it with more than brought into the throne room to give, every time!
With a heart full of love, eyes full of tears, and hope that Jesus will complete the work He has started in you that will not be shaken, I must tell you that I believe in you! I believe that you will mature into everything God has called you to be and you’ll give Him the glory due from your life. Growth spurts are beginning to happen in the youth and especially to the older generations! Why? I believe it’s because His return is soon coming and there is a grace to know Him more now than ever before. The best life is the one found living in His shadow, staying close. Amen?
