Weekly Prayer #33

I am so grateful to talk to a sister yesterday. She was prompted to share the verse in Isaiah 61:3 after we prayed together.

To give them beauty for ashes, 

The oil of joy for mourning, 

The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; 

That they may be called trees of righteousness, 

The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

This is the 33rd weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please give us the faith to believe that we are the trees of righteousness planted by You. Help us not to doubt that we will bear fruit in season, because You not only planted us, but continue to supply all that we need. We abide in You.

Please give us Your wisdom and insight to look into the issues in this society out of love, and also to take action to articulate the issues with solutions. Dear Father, please remove all complaints from our hearts, because in every situation and moment, You are willing to teach us new things and to nourish us.

Please reshape our minds so that we will not base our discernment on incidents and circumstances themselves, but only on the consistency of Your teaching, to discern where we are and what we are to do through Your Spirit.

Your word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. 

We have inclined our hearts to perform Your statutes, forever, to the very end.

Help us to sustain that “Yes” till the end.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray and receive, 

Amen
