The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.
Thank You Lord, for Your abiding Presence … Abiding. Steadfast. Even though circumstances may change, You don’t. You remain.
When world events hurl us into fear and overwhelm us with difficulties — You remain steadfast. Bless You Lord. You are amazing.
We call upon Your name as the waters of destruction rise around us — figuratively and physically. Floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and fires pummel the earth. Many of Your children are in harm’s way, yet we hold fast to Your Truth — the Truth of Your abiding Presence, Your Truth of salvation when we call upon Your Name.
Father, may the Light of Your grace and power cast away all fear, in Jesus’ Name. Help us find comfort in Your sovereignty. You go before us Lord. Nothing takes You by surprise. Please show Yourself mighty on behalf of my brothers and sisters around the world who are suffering because of multiple natural disasters.
You are El Shaddai — Almighty God. You are Jehovah-jireh — our Provider. You are Abba Father — our Daddy God who holds us close when our thoughts race and our hearts tremble. You, Lord, are who You say You are. Thank You.
Give us courage to be light in the darkness. Give us courage to endure our own hardships so that we might be the hands and feet of Jesus to a hurting and frightened world.
The harvest is ripe Lord, but the laborers are few. Stir within us a sense of urgency to reach out with Your good news of Jesus. Help us overcome the obstacles of inadequacies and fear, that we might take the hand of someone in crisis and lead them to You. I ask that You open our eyes to see things through Your eyes.
Fill us Lord. Use us for Your glory. We want to be pliable in Your hand. Take our broken pieces and transform them into a beautiful vessel where Your love can be poured out to those around us.
You are so wonderful Lord. Thank You for Your grace that washes us with reminders that You are near. Thank You for Your faithfulness and Your love.
In Jesus’ Name I pray,
Amen

Have you had a chance to read Faith Notes ~ Sandi Miller: Where is God When Your Childhood … Just … Isn’t?
Sandi courageously shares her story of extreme childhood sexual abuse and her trauma from abortion. Please share this with anyone you know who suffers from the same so that they might be encouraged in the Lord and begin their path to healing.
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.
Yes, Lord, thank You. Amen and amen.
Isn’t it great to know that whatever life befalls us, He is constant and trustworthy. I think I can hang my hat there 🙂
