Good Morning Lord,
I’m feeling the changing of the season starting to creep not only in my yard and the air but in my spirit as well.
Soups, Apple cider, flannel blankets, and football…
In the dark corners of our minds, the thoughts of the holidays loom and are stretching their limbs from their year-long slumber. Recipes to try, treats to bake, shopping to get started…
As beautiful and cozy as this all sounds comes the stress of winter. The heating bill weighs heavy; elements often make simple life challenging, and for the already maxed out budgets, how does one include extra presents, trimmings, and wrap?
You Lord, that’s how!
I offer this intercessory prayer, Father God. I lift to you the single parent whose daily life is a big juggling act. I lift the burdened head of household working sun up to sundown, trying to make ends meet. I lift the tired and discouraged; the ignored and forgotten.
I hold the ones facing the bright lights this year with a dimness of heart because of a death of a loved one, an end of any sort.
Lord, as we approach the sharp coldness that winter brings, may it also bring the warmth of your love. I pray that the Holy Spirit gently wrap us in the blanket of your safekeeping, hope, and security.
Fill us from the inside out your loving light so that we may reflect you, bring light to the darkness covering our land, and warmth to a cold heart. I pray for healing within families, bodies, minds, and spirits. I pray for forgiveness of wrongs and the strength to make them right. I pray for hearts to be opened to you and your love.
I pray this season we are approaching be ushered in with thank fullness for all we receive from you and the heart to share it.
In your beautiful name Lord Jesus, I pray, Amen. 🙏
I hope you have a blessed day, and thank you for joining me. 🥰
Sunshine On My Shoulder
