This is My Comfort

 

This is my comfort in my affliction,
That Your word has revived me and given me life.

 

—Psalm 119:50 (AMP)

 

 

 

 

 

LORD of All Comfort,

 

Help me always run to Your Word—for only there have I found comfort when I am afflicted, a reviving for my soul, and the promised gift of new life, forevermore!

 

Grant that I would be able to see beyond any afflictions that I may face to the God who was made flesh for me, so that I can be comforted as I put my trust in the truth of both His unfailing love for me, and His faithful promises to me.

 

May my soul—my mind, will, and emotions—be continually revived and refreshed as Your Word washes over me, and may Your Spirit teach me to know and believe all that You say I am in Christ.

 

Let me forever praise and celebrate Jesus Christ with my life! For He is the One who heals me and makes me whole. He alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life—the One who gives me the promise of eternal life, fresh and anew, with every day that comes.

 

Help me always run to Your Word—for only there have I found comfort when I am afflicted, a reviving for my soul, and the promised gift of new life, forevermore!

 

In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Listen and Receive Instruction!

 

 

 

They have turned their back to Me and not their face; though I taught them, teaching again and again, they would not listen and receive instruction.

 

—Jeremiah 32:33 (NASB)

 

 

 

My Creator and my God,

 

May I never turn my back to You—and may I always listen with a heart that hungers to receive Your instruction!

 

May You always see my face, as I set my course to run to You alone—never turning to the right or the left, and never returning to that place from which you brought me.

 

As you look upon my face and see me as I am, may my faith be pleasing to You—and may You turn Your face toward me, that I may live in the protection, provision, and peace of Your loving presence.

 

May I abide with You, carefully listening to all You would teach me, so that I would receive, embrace, and obey Your instruction—and remain in Your love forever.

 

May I never turn my back to You—and may I always listen with a heart that hungers to receive Your instruction!

 

In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Hiding Place

 

 

You are my hiding place;
    you will protect me from trouble
    and surround me with songs of deliverance.

 

—Psalm 32:7 (NIV)

 

 

 

O LORD, My God,

 

Where else, O LORD, can I go to hide?  To whom can I turn for protection from my troubles, besides You?  Who else will surround me with songs of deliverance?  My only hope for salvation is found in You, through Christ!

 

You alone are my hiding place—my place of safety and comfort, my sanctuary of peace—where I am held in Your arms, high above the storms of this life.  So may my life always remain hidden in Christ.

 

In You alone will I find protection from all my troubles—as I humble myself before you, repent of my sins, and experience the grace of Your loving-kindness.

 

Only You, will surround me with songs of deliverance.  Just as You have delivered me from the power of sin and death over my life, You will save me from all the powers that would seek to destroy me—when I hide myself in You.

 

Where else, O LORD, can I go to hide?  To whom can I turn for protection from my troubles, besides You?  Who else will surround me with songs of deliverance?  My only hope for salvation is found in You, through Christ!

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Power and Strength

 

He gives power to the weak

   And strength to the powerless. 

Even youths will become weak and tired,
    and young men will fall in exhaustion.

But those who trust in the LORD find new strength.
    They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
    They will walk and not faint.

 

—Isaiah 40:29-31 (NLT)

 

 

 

LORD of All Power and Strength,

 

When I feel weak and powerless, fill me with Your power and strength! As I patiently wait for You, cause me to rise up high on wings like an eagle, and soar into Your wondrous presence—where I will find the strength I need for my journey forward with You.

 

You alone are the source of my strength! When I am weak, You give me power to keep going! When I feel powerless, You renew my strength by reminding me that You are all powerful!

 

Even the youngest and strongest of men grow weak and tired. Only those who trust in You completely find that new strength—a strength that continually sustains them and doesn’t allow them to stumble and fall in exhaustion.

 

Only by Your power and strength, can we run toward You and not grow weary—walk with You through life and not faint!

 

When I feel weak and powerless, fill me with Your power and strength! As I patiently wait for You, cause me to rise up high on wings like an eagle, and soar into Your wondrous presence—where I will find the strength I need for my journey forward with You.

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Like the Morning Mist

 

 

I have swept away your offenses like a cloud,

        your sins like the morning mist.

    Return to me,

        for I have redeemed you.

O LORD, My God and My Redeemer, 

 

Let me forever live in the truth of the work of redemption You performed in me, when You removed all my offenses and sins, so that I could return to You!

 

You have swept away my offenses like a cloud that the wind carries away—so that Your light can shine on me, in me, and through me.

 

My sins are gone—like the morning mist that evaporates in the warmth of the rising sun. You have done this for me—out of Your immeasurable love for me—to make a way for me to return to You!

 

So when I sin, make my heart eager to repent and return to You, my feet ready to run to You—for my salvation is found in You alone!

O LORD, My God,

 

Thank You for being the One who teaches me what is best for me—the One who directs me in the way that I should go.

Don’t allow me to leave Your side—to wander off after my own desires, choosing my own path.  Let me instead walk each step of my journey with You—never trailing behind You, nor blindly running ahead of You.

 

Help me live according to Your Word and allow the Truth that it teaches to instruct me—so that I can learn what is best for me, as Your Spirit directs me in the way I should go.

 

Thank You for being the One who teaches me what is best for me—the One who directs me in the way that I should go.
