In the middle of all of the ugly...
It is so easy to forget to thank God for all that we have. And if we were to be honest, it's sometimes hard just to find things to thank God for with our loved one.
But we MUST do it anyway...
Focus on who they are in Christ...
It is the one sure way to change our heart...
From anxiety to peace...
From anger to calm...
And from the darkness of hate to the light of love...
On this Sunday, I pray love and light into your lives. I pray love and light into my loved ones life.
July 1, 2018 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Ephesians 1:16-18 NLT
[16] I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, [17] asking God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. [18] I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called-his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.
Lord, I confess that in the middle of the ugliness in my life, it is difficult to give thanks. I grumble. I complain. My thoughts often go to the difficult things in my life and not all the good you have given me. And Lord, while finding gratitude in these trials is not easy, I know that you are more than able to fill me with a heart filled with it. Father God, I will not stop giving thanks to You for my (loved one). I will pray for (him/her) constantly. I ask today that you would give (our loved one) spiritual wisdom and insight so that (our loved one) might come to a knowledge of You! I pray that (our loved one's) heart will be flooded with light so that (our loved one) can understand the confident hope that You can give (him/her) because You have given (loved one) a rich and glorious inheritance! Thank you Lord for the work you are doing in (our loved one's) life. We pray this today in Your Son's Precious and Holy Name! Amen!
