Today, I can’t even find the words to write a blog. My heart just wants to pray. My heart is heavy, aching, and in prayer for some friends of mine who are trying to find even a glimmer of light in some very dark circumstances.
Lord, I pray that you would intersect their lives today. Let this prayer - bring forth the glimmer of light they need to sustain them in each moment.
Lord,
- Where there is faithlessness, bring faithfulness.
- Where there is darkness, bring your light.
- Where there is depression, bring your joy.
- Where there are suicidal thoughts, bring the power of your resurrected life.
- Where there is pain, bring your comfort.
- Where there is rejection and abandonment, bring your presence.
- Where there is hatred, bring your love.
- Where there is cursing, bring your blessing.
- Where there is deceit, bring forth your truth.
- Where there is self-hatred and shame, bring forth your perfect love.
- Where there is unforgiveness, bring forth your forgiveness.
- Where there is failure, bring forth grace.
- Where there is sin, bring forth mercy.
Lord, move on behalf of those who are hurting.
- Hear the cries of their hearts.
- Have compassion on the broken-hearted.
- Heal the fragile hearts.
- Hear their cries.
- Walk through their walls of self-protection.
- Remove the layers of lies, the deceit, and the word curses.
Lord, your word says life and death are in the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21)
- Remove the words that are bringing death.
- Let new life emerge.
- You make all things new.
- Let them see you.
- Let them know you exist.
- Let them know your love which is better than life!
- Let them give praise to you!
Come to them Jesus.
Come and be their salvation.
Come, on the clouds and bring your deliverance! (Psalm 18).
In Jesus’ name,
AMEN
