Faithful Father ~
In
times like these, there seems to be no silence, just confusion - too many
thoughts combined with too many possibilities frantically dancing with too many
emotions. In times like these, the heart aches but can find no voice, the
heart cries but can find no release. In times like these, there are no easy
answers, no quick solutions, no simple explanations. Jehovah, remind us of
Your faithfulness.
Petitions to You are endless, with asking and telling, questioning
and knowing, seeking and listening. The soul finds hope beside doubt, truth
beside lies, joy beside sorrow, love beside betrayal. The wounds
are so deep and so wide that they cannot be measured. Consequences
are unfair, circumstances are cruel, and the burdens are too heavy. Adonai,
remind us of Your unfailing love.
When darkness falls as the day ends and stillness calls, it
is Your voice that whispers to the weary Come to Me . . . and
I will give you rest. . .for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find
rest for your souls. Hold
the tears and the truth that disappoints; hear the cries and the heart
that breaks. Jesus, Lover of my soul, remind us that You are
the Yoke, the One who shares all burdens.
In times like these, there is peace in Your presence.
In times like these, there is hope in Your love. In times like
these, there is comfort in Your loving arms. In times like these,
there is joy in Your holiness and grace. El Shaddai, remind us
that You are God All Sufficient. Amen. ~dho
[I] have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you
with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and
understanding. And [I] pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of
the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work,
growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to
His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, joyfully
giving thanks to the Father. Colossians 1: 9-12 (NIV)
