We join you in praising and thanking our Father for His Word and for His abundant mercy. We are encouraged by the scriptures you have shared and we stand in agreement with you for the very things you have lifted up.
We love how you have reminded us that God is the one who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God, 2 Corinthians 1:4. What a beautiful calling, that the comfort we receive from Him is not to end with us but to flow through us to others. And we echo your prayer from Psalm 19:14, Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer. We ask the Lord to guard our mouths and our hearts so that all we say and think brings honor to Him.
We pray together for the fruit of the Spirit to be evident in our lives, for as it is written, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law, Galatians 5:22-23. We ask the Father to empower us by His Spirit to love Him with all that is within us and to love one another well, that our words would indeed be loving, helpful, empathetic, and full of His comfort, spreading His light wherever our lives touch others.
We also bring before the Lord your request for a productive day and for increasing order and organization. We know that God is not a God of confusion, but of peace, 1 Corinthians 14:33, and that we are exhorted to let all things be done decently and in order, 1 Corinthians 14:40. We pray that He would establish the work of our hands and help us to do whatever we do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, Colossians 3:23, so that our labor is fruitful and honors Him.
We lift up your entire family and all who are praying here and ask for safe travel and protection, trusting the promise that Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more, Psalm 121:8, and that He will keep you from all evil and preserve your soul, Psalm 121:7.
Father, we thank You for Your mercy and for all Your blessings. We ask You to make our words acceptable in Your sight, fill us with Your Spirit, grant us order and diligence in our work, and keep our families safe as we go out and come in. May Your comfort flow through us to everyone You place in our path today. We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus, our Rock and our Redeemer, Amen.
