Prayer requests

 

We've set aside today here on the study blog as a day of prayer. I hope that you will pause here and gather inspiration, and if you have a burden on your heart that we can pray for, leave us a comment so that we can lift you and that situation to the Lord. 

Some of us are battling tremendous health problems, or we are ministering to someone who is experiencing health issues. Some of us are struggling to make ends meet financially, or we are trying to help someone who is in need while caring for our own needs, too. Some are enduring persecution; some are dealing with ridicule, humiliation, loss of freedoms, and more.

We may feel that the weight of the entire world is pressing in on us. But if we are believers, there is One Who is holding the weight off our shoulders. He is extinguishing the arrows of the evil one as quickly as they fly toward us. He extends His hand of peace and comfort to us. 

Dear one, take His hand. Look into His face and know His compassion, mercy, and peace. He will stay with us. He will shield us. He will make certain that we prevail, in His time.

Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually. (I Chronicles 16:11)

Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. (Jeremiah 29:12)

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is His delight. (Proverbs 15:8)

This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. (I John 5:14-15)

Abba, Father! 

Amen!
