Sometimes all you can do is pray...
We thank You that You are always in control, even when we feel like nothing is going our way. You, that knew us before we were made, always have hold of us even when we think we are alone. We don't know what plans You have for us, but we lean on You in this moment. We struggle to understand when hard times come our way but we know that You bring peace during the storms of our life. We know that it is during those storms that You come closer to us and in turn we learn more about Your grace. Please come close, we need Your presence as we walk through life's difficulties.
Sometimes the best way through an issue is on our knees, tonight we come to You on those knees asking for Your guidance, show us the way through these troubled times. We ask that Your Helper fill us with His presence and keep us strong during this time of uncertainty. We ask that Your angels surround our families, protect us from those that would see the negative in our situation and surround us with those that look to You for their peace and understanding.
We ask that You speak loudly and clearly to us as we navigate this season of our lives. We wait with anticipation for Your next move. We know that good things are in store for us, we must only wait on You. In this season we put our eyes on You, show us Your mercy.
In Your awesome and mighty name we pray...
This was so striking to me last week and somehow God arranged for me to draw special attention to it ...
ReplyDeleteThis is the prophecy that Habakkuk the prophet received: "How long, Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, "Violence!" but you do not save? Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and vioolence are before me; there is strife and conflict abounds. Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted. The LORD answers "Look at the nations and watch -and be utterly amazed. FOr I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.
Habakkuk 1:1-5
