Say to those with fearful hearts,
“Be strong, and do not fear,
for your God is coming to destroy your enemies.
He is coming to save you.”—Isaiah 35:4 (NLT)
Just and Merciful God,
In these disquieting times, quiet my fearful heart, so that I can be strong and fearlessly walk the path that You have placed before me—fully believing that soon You will come to destroy my enemies and save me out of this world in which I now live.
Help me to understand that
Your perfect morality is revealed to us by Your complete hatred of immorality—which
is sin—and it leads to Your perfect execution of justice for all who have
sinned.
But also help me to be
assured that Your perfect morality is revealed in Your absolute and unfailing
love for all of us—Your creation—which leads to Your perfect exercise of mercy
for those of us who, though sinners, have sincerely loved Your Son, Jesus, and
placed all our hope in Him.
With confidence help me to
rest in the knowledge that You are coming soon to destroy all that is evil and
set all things right—every hurt,
every offense, every injustice—according to Your perfect judgment and mercy.
In these disquieting times, quiet my fearful heart, so that I can be strong and fearlessly walk the path that You have placed before me—fully believing that soon You will come to destroy my enemies and save me out of this world in which I now live.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
