Are You Languishing?

Are You Languishing?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who are languishing. In Jesus name, amen.

Perhaps you know people whose circumstances are desperate. They may be suffering or their health is deteriorating. God is present in the darkest hour.

In Psalm 6:1-4 (ESV), there is a plea and the cry of one who desperately wants God’s intervention and deliverance:

“O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger,
nor discipline me in your wrath.
Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
My soul also is greatly troubled.
But you, O Lord—how long?

Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;
save me for the sake of your steadfast love.”

Say a prayer for those who are desperate for God’s intervention. For those who find themselves thriving, never take for granted God’s blessings. Whatever your circumstances, pray and praise God.

Great Anxiety and Vexation!

Great Anxiety and Vexation!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for all those who have great anxiety and vexation. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Hannah had no children and according to 1 Samuel 1:14-18 (ESV) she was in distress. Eli, the priest, was sitting at the entrance to the temple when he observed her. At first, he thought she was drunk. After she explained, she came away with a blessing.

“And Eli said to her, “How long will you go on being drunk? Put your wine away from you.” But Hannah answered, No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the Lord. Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation.’ Then Eli answered, ‘Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition that you have made to him.’ And she said, ‘Let your servant find favor in your eyes.’ Then the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.”

Eli encouraged Hanna. Eventually, she became pregnant with Samuel, and dedicated him to the Lord as she promised.

God’s timing is always perfect. If you are anxious and vexed, trust him with all of your heart.

Need Peace?

Need Peace?

I pray for wisdom for people who are desperate for a moment of peace. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Know anyone living with big challenges?

Life is not always easy.

When there seems to be no escaping life’s difficulties, realize that Jesus is clear. He gives peace!

This is great news. Jesus says in John 14:27 (ESV), “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”

The peace Jesus is talking about is something anyone can acquire by having faith in him.

It is the confidence he walks together with us though life’s most trying times.

Have faith and peace.
