Saturday. The day after the darkest day in history.
Mary, the disciples, the believers
Were all asking "why?'
I have asked why so many times. "Why did my son have to die when I prayed so faithfully for him day in and day out."
"Why God?"
Some days we just have to gut it out with our faith. We wrestle with God and yell and scream and say "really God? This is what you had in mind?"
That day looked dark and bleak and hopeless. But Sunday was coming!
Mary had no idea what it all meant. But behind the scene He was making a way. He was doing a new thing.
And He is doing a new thing in my life and in your life and in your loved one's life today.
He opens a pathway through the wilderness in front of us. He quenches our thirst and refreshes us. He draws us back to him. His love leads us home.
April 8, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Isaiah 43:18-20 NLT
[18] "But forget all that- it is nothing compared to what I am going to do[19] For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland[20] Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland so my chosen people can be refreshed.
Father God, we come before you today trusting. Trusting that your promises are real and true. When we can't hold on to anything else, we hold on to that. We know that nothing can compare to what you are going to do in [our loved one's] life! We believe that you are about to do something new, something amazing in [our loved one]. Yes Lord! It has already begun. Lord, we believe that you will make a pathway through the wilderness so that [our loved one] can find you. And you will create rivers in the dry wasteland of [his/her] life so that [our loved one] will be refreshed and made new in you. We believe that you are at work right now to restore our lives and our families to the abundant promised land you have waiting for all of us. Lord, we are thankful. We pray this promise and agree with it in your Son's precious name. Amen
