The Prayerful Word - August 25

  • Psalm 121:2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

    Matthew 28:20 Jesus said, “Surely, I am with you always.”

    Psalm 119:18 Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in Your law.

    Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has mercy on you.

    Jonah 2:9 But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to You. What I have vowed I will make good. I will say, 'Salvation comes from the LORD.'"

    Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

    May you have mercy on your friends when they encounter life's trials and hardships, and it seems that the hand of God is heavy upon them, for you know not their heart, nor the mind of God, but let the wisdom and understanding of God from your mouth encourage them and let comforting speech from the Spirit be on your lips to bring them relief. Job 16-19

    May you not be a miserable comforter with long-winded speeches against those who endure hardship, shaking your head and making long arguments, but let the love of God show you how to help, for their Witness, even now, is in heaven, and their Advocate, their Intercessor, their Friend is on high pleading on their behalf with God as a man pleads for his friend. Job 16

    May you hold to the ways of God which you know, as the righteous do, for those with clean hands will grow stronger. Job 17

    May you realize that the dwelling of one who trusts God and the place of one who knows God is always filled with the light of His knowledge and the fire of His Spirit, giving vigor to his step, for he joyfully follows the will of God and gladly steps up to God's assignments. Job 18

    May you see with your own eyes how the blessed of God are protected from the traps of the wicked one as the guidance of the Spirit leads them safely past the noose that lies hidden and breaks the snares that are set, for no scheme devised nor weapon formed against the servants of God will prosper. Job 18, Isaiah 54

    May you feel the security of the presence of the Lord, calming the calamities and taming the terrors that surround your every step as disaster seems to loom from every side, for He has overcome every disease and conquered every power, and been given all authority; therefore no illness can take more than He permits nor any accident claim no more than He allows, because death no longer reigns, and He works life from the circumstances of His servant, just as the Father did through His Son. Job 18

    May you welcome the fire of God that resides in His dwelling place, which is you, relieving you of the anxiety of the temporal and the concerns of the material, strengthening, tempering, and cleansing that which is eternal, preparing you for the immortal joys of His presence and shaping you into the blessed image of His Son. Job 18

    May you draw strength from the deep roots and living water of the Tree of Life as you are grafted in to the Beloved, adopted into the family of God, that His life through you will bring the leaves of healing for the nations and the peaceable fruit of righteousness to a weary world of those who seek freedom from the enemy's chains and darkness. Job 18

    May you not torment the soul and crush the spirit of those facing difficulties through the words you speak, but let life saturate your speech and hope season your words, for if they go astray, their error remains their own concern alone. Job 19

    May you know that your Redeemer lives and that in the end He will stand upon the earth; though your body be destroyed, yet in your flesh you will see God with your own eyes, just as your heart yearns within you! Job 19

    May you not hound the person who is going through the dark night of the soul, because you mistakenly think the root of the trouble lies in them, but rather you should fear the sword yourself, for it is quick and sharp, dividing the soul and spirit, judging the thoughts and attitudes of your heart, and you will know that there is judgment. Job 19, Hebrews 4

    Stand forth, My love, and be brave. Stand strong in My faith, resting on My promises.
    Do not falter, My child, but walk in My Spirit, gently speaking My words of life to all who come to you. Do not fear what others may do to you or say about you; be not anxious for your reputation, or how you will be considered by others.
    Let My words be strong in your mouth, even as your voice is meek and your touch is tender.

    May the Lord grant that a great door be wide-open to you for effective and productive ministry, and may the adversaries and opposition not break your spirit but warm your zeal and inspire you with fresh courage. 1 Corinthians 16

    May you be on your guard, standing firm in the faith as men of courage and be strong enough to do everything lovingly. 1 Corinthians 16

    May you submit yourself to those who have devoted themselves to the service of the saints and to everyone who joins in the work, and labors at it. 1 Corinthians 16

    May you wait patiently for the Lord, for He will turn to you when you cry and lift you out of the slimy mud and mire-filled pit, setting you feet on a rock to give you a firm place to stand, and put a new hymn of praise to God in your mouth so that many will see and fear, placing their trust in the Lord. Psalm 40

    May you be blessed by making the Lord your trust and not looking to the proud who turn aside to vanities and lying follies which are the basis of false gods. Psalm 40

    May you desire to do the will of God as you yield to the Spirit of God Who writes His law within your heart, so that you proclaim His righteousness in the great assembly and speak of His faithfulness and salvation, not sealing your lips or concealing His love and truth from others. Psalm 40
