And His name shall be called Jesus.

And His name shall be called Jesus.

O Lord, my Lord, how majestic is Your Name in all the earth. Help me understand the power in Your Name, the grace applied, the love required. Your Name is who You are — Deliverer, Savior, Redeemer, and Friend.

Father Almighty, Creator, Refuge, and Beloved.

You are Jehovah-jireh — my Provider.

You are Jehovah – shalom — my Peace.

You are El Roi — the God who sees me and knows all about it.

Blessed be the Name of the Lord!

I love You Lord. I cherish Your presence in my life — the way that You abide with me through thick and thin. Thank You for opening my eyes to see.

I pray for others who want to know You more. You promise that if we seek You, we will find You — when we call upon Your Name, You will respond. How beautiful is Your love for us — Your faithfulness.

Thank You for pursuing us with Your love and making Yourself known to us through Jesus. Enlighten the eyes of our hearts to grasp the vastness of Your power and the magnificence of who You are — our God.

Lord, we love you so much.

In Jesus’ Name I pray,

Amen

Have you had a chance to read Faith Notes ~ Cindy Eller: Where is God When a Daughter is Murdered?

I met my guest, Cindy Eller, several years ago in our local community of Ashe County, NC. Even before I knew her story, I recognized the strength of the Lord emanating from her — the strength that shows in the eyes that harbor deep wounds, yet the heart loves unconditionally and the lips smile with genuineness. After I learned of her family’s heart-wrenching ordeal, my admiration and respect grew even more. Cindy is a power to be reckoned with — not because she is a mighty warrior in her own strength, but because she knows the God in whom she has believed and she lives to tell His story of grace.

If you would like to share your testimony of finding the nearness of God in your darkest moments, please contact me at nan@nanjones.com. I want to feature folks from all walks of life. You don’t have to be a writer. I can edit your story for you. God is glorified when we use our pain to help others find comfort in Him.
