The Prayerful Word - May 24

  • Luke 13:8 “Sir,” the man replied, “leave [the tree] alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it.”

    Matthew 5:44-45 Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be children of your Father in heaven.

    Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need.

    Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

    2 Corinthians 8:9 You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.

    Philippians 2:5-8 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who… 8 humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

    May you trust and rely on the Lord alone to fulfill His promises, worshiping where He has placed you and obeying what He has commanded you, withholding your hand from grasping what God has said is yours, and not seeking or rewarding the arm of man who would act, or the wisdom of man who would scheme, to achieve the goal you desire. 2 Samuel 4

    May you know that the blessings of God and His answers to prayer in your life are to establish you for the sake of your testimony and witness to others, that they may be drawn into the kingdom of God and know the salvation of the Lord as you lift Him up and make much of Him. 2 Samuel 5

    May you always seek the Lord to know His heart and to hear His voice, never resting on past experiences, for He is an eternally creative God and has countless ways in which to glorify Himself, if you will but hear what He says. 2 Samuel 5

    May you celebrate before the Lord, willing to become even more undignified in true worship as you honor and proclaim His magnificence, losing yourself before the awesomeness of the Lord God Almighty Who has reclaimed you unto Himself, forgiving your sins, healing your diseases, redeeming your life, crowning you with love, satisfying your desires, renewing your youth, bestowing compassion on you, and remembering His covenant with you. 2 Samuel 6

    May you love others just as Christ, without reservation or judgment, has loved you, for by this will all men know that you are His disciple, and they will see the Father for themselves. John 13

    May you not let your heart be troubled, but trust in the Father even as you have trusted in Jesus, for even as He has gone away to prepare a place for you, so shall He certainly return to take you with Him to that prepared place. John 14

    May you have faith in Jesus, for as He has gone to the Father, you will do the same things, and greater, that Jesus did as training and demonstration to us, that we may be encouraged to seek the Father's heart and mind, doing what we see Him doing and saying what we hear Him saying, through the Spirit of God which has been sent to bring us into all truth with power to be witnesses unto all people for the glory of the Father. John 14

    Walk by My Spirit, My child, lest you carry out the desire of the flesh and grieve the Holy Spirit of God by Whom you have been sealed for the day of redemption.
    Walk with the angel of My presence, My afflicted one, for with Him you will find My love and My mercy, and He will lift and carry you to the fulfillment of My redemption.
    Accept the ministration of the Helper Whom My Father has sent in My Name, My searching one, for He will teach you all things and bring to remembrance all that I say to you. Thereby you will have the assurance that you abide in Me, and I in you, for the Spirit has been given as an indication of how earnest I am in keeping My promise to you.
    Follow the directions and guidance of the Spirit, My dedicated one, for He leads you where the Father has designated for you to go. Though at times He will lead you into sorrow and repentance, difficulty and challenge, fasting and weeping, mourning and fearful reverence, I will always be there to strengthen you and bring peace to your heart. He prompts you to seek God before destruction arrives, whether on a personal level or a grander scale, for there is work that must be done before darkness falls, when no man can work.
    Know, My willing one, that those who go forth weeping, sowing good seed with tears will return in the light of day with shouts of joy bearing the sheaves of the harvest.

    May God remove those rulers and authorities which cooperate in an attempt to slander you, desiring to heap scorn and contempt upon you as you keep His statutes, finding His promises to be delightful, and a source of wise counsel, as you meditate on them in your service to the Lord. Psalm 119

    May God preserve your life when you are laid low, according to His promise, and answer your request to understand the precepts He teaches you so that you may meditate on His wonders. Psalm 119

    May God strengthen you according to His word when your soul is weary with sorrow, and be gracious to you through His law as you abstain from deceitful ways, since you have chosen the way of truth and set your heart on His laws, holding fast to the Lord's statutes and running in the path of His commands, therefore He has set your heart free from all shame. Psalm 119

    May you accept correction given in love and heed life-giving reproof, even as the wise do. Proverbs 15:31
