Do not yield to fear, for I am always near.
Never turn your gaze from Me, for I am your faithful God.
I will infuse you with My strength
and help you in every situation.
I will hold you firmly with My victorious right hand.’ ~ Isaiah 41:10, TPT
But in the day that I’m afraid, I lay all my fears before You
and trust in You with all my heart.
What harm could a man bring to me?
With God on my side I will not be afraid of what comes.
The roaring praises of God fill my heart,
and I will always triumph as I trust His promises. ~ Psalm 56:3-4, TPT
Help us, Lord, Our Faith is Eroding
Lord, if ever our world needed You, it is now. Life as we have known it seems to be eroding — dissolving, disintegrating — right in front of our eyes.
But You are aware of this. Nothing that is happening is without Your watchful eye. You have not abandoned us. You have not forsaken us.
And You never will.
Rise up, O God, within us! Open our eyes to see You in our midst, to find Your eternal purpose in all things.
The earth about us is shaking and reeling in the wake of COVID-19, racial injustice, violent riots, corrupt politicians … the list goes on Lord, and it frightens us.
I’m reminded that You have prepared Your Church for such a time as this. You have called us to this moment in history, but You must go before us and lead the charge. Make us brave, Lord. Make us staunch in our convictions, kind in our words. Remind us that we represent You in all things and to all people.
Anoint us with boldness, yet tender, compassionate hearts.
In Your Presence, Lord, Our Faith is No Longer Eroding as Fear Disappears
Make us holy as You are holy that we might join hands with You. In the holiness of Your presence our faith is strengthened. In Your presence our faith is no longer eroding, mimicking sand on the seashore being tossed and pulled by every wave of new found fear.
You are our constant — our sure place. You are our Shield, our Peace.
Keep our eyes focused on You as we move through these uncertain times, remembering that You are certain, steadfast, and Your love and tender watch-care for us is from everlasting to everlasting.
I pray that the meditations of our hearts would be pleasing to You and that we would magnify Your Name in all things — our words, our actions, our attitudes.
You are love, Lord. Unconditional, unbridled love for Your children. Restore peace. Bring reconciliation to all and restoration to broken lives.
Heal our land.
In Jesus’s Name I pray,
Amen

YES! REVIVE US, O LORD! 🙂
Amen, Marcie! If ever there was a time for revival, it is now. The harvest is ripe, but the laborers are few. I’m so thankful we get to labor for the Lord together.
