Prayer for my Friends

Lord I come to you, Just As I Am, but today I am bringing my hurting friends with me.  They ache and hurt from lifes disappointments, failures, regrets, illnesses, losses!  I want to bring them to your throne where you can wash over them and give them peace. How do I pray?  How do I help them with their loneliness, their sadness, their sickness?  What are your words to comfort and heal my friends?

25 I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint. (NIV)

but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Psalm 63:1

    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. 

Isaiah 40:28
Do you not know?

 Psalm 46:1 
 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble 

 You have made it so clear as our Lord and Savior, that we should come to you when it hurts, when its hard, even when it all falls apart.  We should just run to you; our healer, our comforter, our portion, more than enough, all we need!  And I know you hold us-ME- in the palm of your hand. 

Isaiah 49:16
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.

"God is still on the throne and nothing can snatch us from His hand"-Joel Osteen

My friends, my prayer for you today, even as I lift you up in prayer, is to go before God-take it to the throne- and leave it there for Him to work out.  No matter what the pain you are going through, no matter how broken you are- God is there and is waiting on you to bring it to him!  HE IS FOR YOU!

Matthew 11:28 
Come Unto Me! 

1 Peter 5:7 
Cast all your cares on Him, because He cares for you

Psalm 55:22
Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you He will never let the righteous be shaken 

"Everytime I obey, absolute Deity is on my side, so that the grace of God and natural obedience coincide" Oswald Chambers

Phillippians 4:19
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus

"Here"  Kari Jobe

Come and rest here
Come and lay your burdens down
Come and rest here
There is refuge for you now

You'll find His peace
And know you're not alone anymore
He is near
You'll find His healing
You're heart isn't shattered anymore
He is here 

 

Jesus Christ is giving you a place to rest.  He is your refuge center.  Lay your burdens down and get out of there!  You will find peace, healing and you won't be alone!  He will give you healing for your heart! 

 

 Just let Him....let Him.
