Psalm 138:8 (02-24-09)

The LORD will fulfill [his purpose] for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever -- do not abandon the works of your hands.

— Psalm 138:8 (NIV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

First there is conviction: the LORD will finish his work in us! (cf. Phil. 1:6). Second, there is declaration: the LORD's love endures and doesn't fail (cf. 1 Cor. 13:8). Finally, there is supplication: O Lord, don't forget me, your creation (cf. Ps. 139:13-16). What beautiful balance for our walk with the Lord.My Prayer...

Heavenly Father and LORD of all things, I am confident that you will accomplish your will and purpose in me. Seeing how you loved and worked through the centuries with the everyday people I find in Scripture, I know your love will last long after I am gone from this place. However, dear LORD, I do face some struggles and difficulties and I ask you to please intervene with your grace and power in my life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Lord, I pray You fill me with Your purpose for my life today, help me stay close to You today, like a child putting my hand in Your Hand. Your love is steadfast, You will not leave the works of Your hands. Amen

Lord, help me. I am broken. But I thank You for being there to lift me up. In Jesus' name. Amen

 

[K-J]

Father, You have the reigns and controls over my life. Guide and direct my steps so that my journey is a reflection of Your purpose for my life. I thank You for the many blessings I have received and pray Your continued guidance in the matter of the estate. I know the answer lies in You. I pray for Your strength and spirit to lead me forward. In Jesus' name, I give You all glory, honor and praise. Amen.
