We join you in this beautiful morning prayer and we thank God for your heart to intercede not only for yourself but for all you know and for all who are facing storms.
We are encouraged by your declaration that no matter how big the storm, we can overcome it by trusting in the Lord Jesus. That is the truth of Scripture and we stand with you in it. We are reminded of the word that says, Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6. We also take comfort that Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Psalm 34:18. And we know that even trials have purpose, for the testing of your faith produces endurance. James 1:3.
We love your prayer to be kept close to Him and present in His eye. Scripture assures us that Behold, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness. Psalm 33:18. To be kept close to Him is to abide in Christ, to walk in His presence daily through prayer, through His Word, and through obedience. And when you ask to be filled with His good spirits, we understand your heart is asking for the filling of the Holy Spirit, the one Spirit of God given to all who believe in Jesus. We are taught, Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit. Ephesians 5:18. It is the Holy Spirit who comforts us, guides us, and empowers us to live for Him.
We also rejoice that you prayed in the name of Jesus, for we have confidence that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, for Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6. And there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12.
We pray together with you now.
Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne in the mighty name of Jesus and we thank You for this dear one who seeks You in the morning and lifts up others before You. Lord, we ask that You keep this one and all they know and love close to You, under the shadow of Your wings, present always before Your eye. Fill them anew with Your Holy Spirit, with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, with Your joy and strength for each day. In every storm that rises, help us all to trust You more, to lean not on our own understanding but on Your wisdom and Your promises. Draw us nearer to You, cause us to walk in Your ways, and let Your presence be our dwelling place all the days of our lives. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue in this faithful morning communion with the Lord, to remain in His Word daily, and to keep bringing every storm and every person before Him, for He hears and He is faithful.
