Comfort and Strength

SCRIPTURE
II Thessalonians 2:16-17

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.


PRAYER
Lord, you are indeed the one who has loved ______. Make her heart feel the passion and depth of that love. You are indeed the one who has comforted her. Spread the warmth and calm of that comfort over her just now. You are indeed the one who has given her hope. May she awaken with a sense that all will be well, no matter how difficult it may seem. You are indeed the one who has given her grace. Wash her anew with your undeserved forgiveness and favor. And Lord, you are the one who gives strength to her heart. Please use the works of her day, and the words that land on her soul as a means to infuse raw strength into her heart, a strength that can endure the sting of the storms, and the persistence of the pelting rain, and the bitterness of the biting winds. May comfort and strength reside side-by-side in her heart and provide that wonderful blend of calm, dignified endurance. Amen.


ENCOURAGEMENT
The love you desire, the comfort you relish, the hope you long for, and the strength you must have… all come from our Lord himself. Open your heart and receive them. He will lavish them with generosity.
