Dear Lord,
I bow before you this morning and I ask for peace.
I ask for a moment of peace for Nikki and Bella…the mommas heart that is scared and broken as she watches her child fight a battle no child should have to fight. Strength for the beautiful young lady with the heart of a warrior and the war fit a soldier.
The special young man who has to watch his mentor and a second father figure pass from this earth into God’s glorious arms. The pain and heaviness at the goodbye he doesn’t want to face or say!
The beautiful pastor’s wife who is having to watch not one but both her parents fight the fight for life. Her fear, her spiritual battle of why and trust all blended into a swirl of emotions yet still trying to wear the right face for all those who look upon and to her.
My dear much loved friends, who daily fight physical attacks on their bodies. The tired within of hurting, the frustration of a body that doesn’t work as well as it used to, the constant physical battles that often lead to sadness and depression.
The young adults in my life. The child that is working around the clock to make a world for himself, family and children. The child who daily decides to not succumb to the weakness of addiction and to live and walk free from the chains thereof. The child whose brain works faster than the norm and has to daily rearrange his thought patterns to slow down to the level of the world and the frustration that often brings.
These are but a few drops of rain within the barrel of people Lord who need a bit of your peace within their hearts and spirits. I can’t name them all or detail their battle but I can offer a blanket prayer for your scared children the lost, and the addicted ones, the homeless, the confused, the tired, the broke, and the broken.
It’s winter and it’s cold. In my section of the map, it’s raining and grey! Lord, please send us your warmth and peace within to renew our spirits with the security of your love, provision, protection, and guidance.
In your name Lord Jesus, I commit this prayer. Amen!
I hope for you a day of peace and warmth. Thank you for sharing some if your time with me, in Sunshine! 🥰
