When death is all around us and we feel that fear...
When we are in a pit and we can't seem to get out...
When we are mourning the loss of loved ones or of the dreams we had for them...
When there is no where to turn...
There is ONE. The ONE, who can bring us out of the pit.
Who can turn wailing to dancing, mourning to joy, tears of sorrow to songs of praise.
June 27, 2024 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 30:2-3,11-12 NIV
[2] Lord my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me. [3] You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me from going down to the pit. [11] You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, [12] that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. Lord my God, I will praise you forever.
Father God, we come to you today feeling helpless. Death is all around us. There is mourning and weeping, loss and grief. But we also come with confidence in our heart that You are a God that hears our prayers and answers them. Lord, we know that You are the same God yesterday, today and always. A God with the power to transform. Lord, we pray that today (our loved one) would call on you for help and that you will heal (him/her). We ask that you Lord, will bring (our loved one) up from the realm of the dead, that You will spare (him/her) from going down to the pit. Lord, we believe today that you will turn (our loved ones) wailing into dancing; that you will remove (his/her) sackcloth and clothe (our loved one) with joy that (his/her) heart will sing Your praises and never be silent. Lord, that (he/she) will praise you forever. Lord,, we believe that this vision will be fulfilled in your perfect timing and we pray these things in Your Son's precious name. Amen
