Dear Lord, These words come to mind. Persistence, Perseverance, Endurance You give us these words to meditate on as we course through life. Not always is it easy to continue fighting as we travail through life’s course. Sometimes, we may fall short. But by definition, You teach your children to get back up. It is through your Holy Spirit that I become renewed. When I take it that all hope is gone, there your Spirit is to lift me back up. Dear Lord, I ask that in all my troubles, trials and tribulations, You form in me a heart of perseverance. Produce in me the ripe attitude, vigour, body and mental capacity to keep on going when the going gets tough. I humble myself before You O Lord, asking that You carry me through. I may get blind-sided, I may get torn, I may get bruised, but however I get, help me to still fight it through. I lean on You as my life support with the understanding that your Holy Spirit be for me my blood line. For there is life in the Blood. I ask that your Holy Spirit carry me through my days to the very last, however long or short You have designed my life to be. Walk me through the valley of the shadow of death. I seek your Spirit always to help guide me through. I thank You O Lord, for those times that You carried me through troubled waters, restoring my health and bringing back life the parts in me that ached the most. Nurturing me when I couldn’t look after my own self. Comforting me when I needed to be embraced. Furnishing me with laughter to get me through sad moments. But most especially, numbing my pain. I thank You O Lord, my faithful God and I pray that You walk me through these times as night gets darker. Please be near me O Lord. This I pray. I thank You in the midst of trials, that I be purged and get to experience more of your light. I thank You, O Lord, for remaining faithful. Please shower me with the blessings of endurance and a firm heart to persevere as I safely put my trust in You. I pray this in Jesus Name, thanking You Giving You all honour and glory and praise Almighty Father forever and ever HalleluYah. 07.07.23 |
