The Prayerful Word - April 4

  • Hebrews 10:24 Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds.

    Jeremiah 29:11 'For I know the plans that I have for you', declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.'

    Psalm 27:13 I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

    Psalm 34:17-18 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. 18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.

    Matthew 7:24-25 Everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts upon them, may be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock. 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew…and yet it did not fall…

    Psalm 145:14 The Lord sustains all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down.

    May you joyfully declare the blessings of God and testify to the fulfillment of His promises, that those around you may know the Lord you serve and the God you follow, and understand His faithfulness and love to those who are called by His name and walk in His ways. Deuteronomy 26

    May you remember those whose portion is the Lord and share with them what God has blessed you with. Deuteronomy 26

    May you declare this day that the Lord is your God and that you will walk in His ways, that you will keep His decrees, commands and laws, and that you will obey Him, for the Lord has declared this day that you are His own, His treasured possession as He promised, and that you are to keep all His commands. He has declared that He will set you in praise, fame and honor high above all the principalities and powers He has made and that you will be holy to the Lord your God, as He promised. Deuteronomy 26

    May you be reverently still before the Lord and listen as He speaks His promises both of discipline and of blessing into your heart, that you may know the ways of the Lord and walk in them, for how can two walk together except they be agreed? Deuteronomy 27, Amos 3

    May you choose the one needed thing, which is both peaceful and calming, out of the many things that bring worry and upset, for that better choice will not be taken from you. Luke 10

    May you know that you can approach Jesus as a friend, and when you ask, it will be given to you; when you seek, you will find, when you knock, the way will be opened. Luke 11

    May the Lord of glory reveal to you just how willing He is to give the Holy Spirit to you when you ask him. Luke 11

    My child, what are you willing to do for Me? How far are you willing to go for Me? As you proclaim your love for Me and your desire to be obedient to My will, you picture great feats of courage as you face enormous odds.
    Listen to the voice of My Spirit, My sweet one, and hear the sound of My longing for you. I do not desire anything from you, My precious one, for I have all of creation and would create more if it were needed.
    I want nothing from you; simply come into My presence without bravado or pretense, with all your shortcomings and failures, and be with Me. I have much for you, but you must sit before Me and quiet your spirit to receive it.
    Wait in My presence, even though I do not speak. Remain at My feet, even as you go through your day. I will do My work in you, as long as you do nothing before Me.
    Receive My songs in your heart, but stay before Me to sing them. Receive My blessings, but stay by Me to give praise to Me for them.
    Yes, I am everywhere, and there is no place you can go without Me. But you must acknowledge My presence to draw close to Me. You must respond to My presence to acknowledge it.
    Reach out to Me by faith with your heart. Pause your tumultuous thoughts to consider Me in the moment. Ask of Me, for then I can show you great and mighty things that you did not know, but you must believe I am present with you in order to ask.
    It is hard for you to sit quietly before Me – it requires practice and training – but it is worth it, My love, for it pleases Me. I will present you, soon enough, with assignments to do once you have learned how to be.
    Dwell in Me and abide with Me, as I do with you, for that is how you will come to know Me even as you are known by Me.

    May God, Who is known through our praise, Whose name is great in His people, Whose presence brings peace, and Who dwells in holiness, break the flashing arrows, the shields and the swords, the weapons of war that are raised against His chosen. Psalm 76

    May God, Who alone is to be feared, Who is resplendent with light and more majestic than mountains rich with game, cause valiant warriors, lying plundered, to sleep their last sleep, unable to lift their hands, for at Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and chariot lie still since none can stand before You when You are angry. Psalm 76

    May God rise up to judge, to save all the afflicted of the land, for from heaven He pronounced judgment and the land feared and was quiet, since His wrath against men brings Him praise and the survivors of His wrath are restrained. Psalm 76

    May you make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them as all the neighboring lands bring gifts to the One to be feared, for He breaks the spirit of rulers and is feared by the kings of the earth. Psalm 76

    May you listen to Godly advice, as all wise people do, and prudently overlook insults, unlike fools who show annoyance at once, and are satisfied with their own way, which seems right to them. Proverbs 12:15-16
