Today's post is taken from yesterday's prayer for the precious ones in my life. I record these prayers under the "Pray With Me" section on the sidebar.
I love to pray scripture over them.
When you can, I would love for you to join me in prayer. It is our greatest resource.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You, God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.
Psalm 63:1
Father, I love you. I give you praise.
It is for the precious ones that I meet with You here and ask You to bless them.
I pray that the scripture above will be their earnest prayer--
that they will recognize that You are their God--
that they will seek You with all their hearts--
That they will thirst for You and long for You
in a deep and holy way.
Father, would You saturate their dryness with Your precious Holy Spirit?
Would you be an oasis, a deep well, a river of living water that will
spring up from within them and minister to them all the days of their lives.
Father, how I thank You for the gift of prayer--
especially that of praying scripture.
My heart beats hard, Father, when I pray scripture,
because I know that You are touched by Your Word
and also touched by my infirmities.
You will respond to Your Word and I am confident when I pray
Your Word that You will bring things to pass--
You will open doors that have been seemingly sealed shut,
You will make a way where huge obstacles block the path,
You will bring light in extreme darkness.
Father, I love the word extreme--
Because that is what You are to me.
Extreme in Your love,
Extreme in Your faithfulness,
Extreme in Your holiness,
Extreme in Your grace and mercy--
Extreme in Your Extremeness.
Forever to worship You.
That is the extreme ultimate.
I pray in Jesus' Name. Amen
