One of the things that we have loved doing throughout our marriage is camping. Recently we were at a local state park and it struck me in a new way….how every tree, every flower, every plant, every animal is unique and were divinely placed here on this earth for a reason. Each relying on one another for survival. Without that inter-dependence they would not be able to live.
And we are no different. We were all created intentionally for a very specific purpose, interdependent on one another for love and relationship. God put your loved one on this Earth for a determined amount of time to do predetermined work, that he has planned since the beginning of the time.
But He made us different then the plants and animals. He gave us free will. And it is in that free will that we get to choose whether or not we are going to step into all that God’s plan entails for us.
We were not a mistake. Our loved one was not a mistake.
We are all God’s precious handiwork.
Praying today that our lives would become the masterpiece that He desires each one of us to become.
May 9, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today.
Ephesians 2:8-10 NIV [8] For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith---and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--- [9] not by works, so that no one can boast[10] For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Lord, we come to you today thankful for the grace that You give us. We know that it is by that grace alone that [our loved one] will be saved, when [he/she] cries out in faith to You. And this is not from [him/her] or because of any one of us, it is a free gift from You Lord. This will not be accomplished through any works [our loved one] does or does not do, there is nothing that [he/she] can do to earn this gift. Lord, we pray this comes about miraculously, so the only thing [he/she] will ever be able to boost in is Your Power in [his/her] life. Lord, we believe that [our loved one] is your perfect handiwork, your masterpiece. We agree that you created [our loved one] in Christ Jesus to do great things in this world. Things that you already know about. Things you have already prepared in advance for [our loved one] to do. So Lord, we call out to you today that [our loved one] would whisper "Lord, I need you." We trust this will come to pass in Your perfect timing. We thank you Abba daddy, as we pray in Your Son's precious name. Amen!
