Heart of Gratitude:
Prayer burdens:
Response:
I'm thankful that God's response is not as emotional and capricious as mine. It does not rise up based on how He is feeling today or if He is in the mood to humor me. God responds faithfully based on His righteousness. I'm also thankful that His judgement of me is not based on my emotions or daily behavior. No matter how overwhelmed or self-focused I am at the moment, my eternity is secure.
With God, my history has hope woven through it. No matter how parched the present, His constant presence firmly plants my next step. So, I will trust, I will seek Him each morning, I will listen, I will walk, I will follow.
Pray through Scripture:
Confession:
- Selfishness- how often do I consider my own needs and wants above those around me?
Heart of Gratitude:
- Psalm 28:7, "The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him."
Prayer burdens:
- Wisdom for me
- Joy for my husband
- Purity for our kids
- Laborers for the harvest
- The many kids that are finding home to not be a safe place to wait out the coronavirus pandemic.
