We join you in giving thanks and praise to our Father God this morning and we rejoice with you for the wonderful and blessed day and week you have spoken over us in Jesus name.
Your reference to Joel 2:25 is a beautiful reminder of His mercy and restoring power where He says, I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you. Joel 2:25. What a comfort to know that nothing is wasted in His hands and that He is able to redeem and restore what has been lost or broken. We are reminded also that every good gift comes from above and we can bless His holy name and forget not all His benefits. Bless Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies. Psalm 103:2-4.
We agree with you that we are His children and dearly loved, for behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God. 1 John 3:1. And we echo your prayer, for Yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen. Matt 6:13. It is only through Jesus that we can boldly approach the throne of grace, and we are so thankful you have lifted up His name of Nazareth, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12.
We pray together for you now.
Father God, we thank You for all things on earth as it is in heaven. We thank You for Your Kingdom, Your power, and Your glory forever. We thank You for loving us as Your children and for calling us Your own through Jesus Christ. We ask that You pour out Your blessing upon this dear one and upon all who seek You this day. Fill this week with Your glory, Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and Your joy. Restore what has been eaten by the locust in every life that is praying with us, heal what is broken, and let Your will be done in our lives as it is in heaven. Keep us from temptation and deliver us from evil, and let all we do bring honor to Your name. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
