Embrace the Within no. 40

“Jesus’ love never changes. It doesn’t matter how well I do or how bad I do, His love for me never, never changes and it never will.”

• Andrew McCutchen

All conflicts are internal conflicts.

Heavenly Father, redeeming Christ, and comforting Spirit,

I thank you for all the obstacles and challenges I faced this past week. Your Grace and Truth have helped me hurdle those obstacles and face those challenges. I may be unsuccessful at first. I may fail at first. BUT I have the assurance that You will provide the Way through and over in triumph. Whatever I face in the world today and tomorrow, I no longer face alone because I have the assurance of Your wraparound presence to protect and guide me through all that life has to offer. There is nothing You have not foreseen. There is nothing You cannot lead me through.

I ask this week for guidance and wisdom along the path for not only myself BUT more importantly for others. Father, I have seen some really wrong ideas this week. I have seen a large number of folks buying into ideas that are not rooted in Your vision of humans as image bearers of Your plan. I pray that we all spend more time in Your Word and in prayer with You in finding the path you want us to walk. I pray that we all work on building a better relationship with You through love and fear of Your power and glory and grace and truth. I pray that we all truly put our way behind us and walk in Your way of loving You and others.

I pray this week that those that are suffering from physical, mental, and spiritual weakness will find Your strength. There are so many folks out there hurting, Lord. There are so many folks out there that are looking to the world and inside them for the strength to survive this broken world. Help them come to abandon that selfish idea and turn towards Your great strength to lead them into true power. Help those that suffer to find the rest and peace we enjoy in Your Spirit and Truth.

As I move forward with the ending of this week and the promise of a new week ahead, I ask that You look over all that is around in my life and help my words and actions be a blessing to Your glory. Help me and those I meet along the way to see Your vision of the world to come, Your Truth in all those interactions. In all this I ask that it is Your way and not my way. Amen.

Peace to your home. Bless your being. The reign of YHWH is now. Be a blessing to YHWH and others.
