The Blessing That Comes From Obedience

Lord, help us to listen for your voice, follow it, and be blessed…

Painting by Fritz von Uhde

Thanks for being proud of us and loving us regardless of how we behave, Lord. We do not want that love to return empty to you. Want want to take your love and reflect your image. We want you to be glorified.

So, Lord, we trust you. Continue to help us mature. Discipline us. Humble us. Give us the wisdom and grace to recognize your hand of correction and, instead of fighting against it, to lean into you. Give us an ever-increasing awareness of your presence in our lives, and a strong, humble, and heart-felt desire for our lives to give you praise and glory. Increase in us, Lord, so that people who encounter us see you.

Thank you for your blessing and favor on our lives that shows the good fruit that comes from a loving, obedient relationship with our Heavenly Father. Bring abundance to our finances, health to our bodies, joy to our hearts, and peace to our families, God.

Lord, we lift up Luigi in Canada and join him in praying for health and restoration in his body:

Holy Spirit, help this man to encounter you in a powerful way. Help him to rest in your presence; to be still and know that if he has accepted Christ as his savior, you are in him:

Thank you for Stephanie and the plan that you have for her life, Jesus:

God, we lift up Manu from New Jersey and his request for online prayer:

Give Manu peace, Lord. Thank you for blessing his work situation and finances so he can repay his loan and be a blessing to those around him.

We also lift up the numerous requests for private prayer from all around the world, including the one from Baltimore, Virginia, Clermont and many others. You know the needs, Lord. We trust you. You are faithful to provide; mighty to save. Sovereign God of the Universe, we are filled with joy knowing that you love us! We love you too! Amen.
