A Special Message of Encouragement and Prayer for Those Struggling with the Holidays!
Put on your favorite praise and worship music and sing to the Lord! He loves you and His plans for you are for good and to give you a future with hope, so claim that and tell the devil to get lost! We have to keep our focus on the power and promise of God’s Word, and NOT on the problems! They’re just the works of the devil and nothing he brings against us and our marriages can succeed! He’s a defeated foe! But God is a jealous God and He commands us to put Him first and promises that when we FIRST seek His kingdom and His righteousness; THEN He will give us what we want and need. So delight in Him and He will give you the desires of your heart! Remember, the joy of our salvation is our strength and the Word tells us that His grace is sufficient and that we CAN do ALL things through Christ Jesus who strengthens us! So let’s read and PUT INTO PRACTICE what Philippians 4:1-20 instructs us to do, and there’s no way we won’t feel better and blessed and encouraged in the Lord!
Dear Lord, we know the holidays and special occasions are difficult at times, so we pray for your joy and peace to flow in abundance in the hearts, minds and spirits of all of those who might be struggling this holiday. Put a song in their hearts, Lord, and praise on their lips! Give them the peace that comes only when we believe and put our faith and confidence in the awesome, supernatural power and promise of your Word! Surround them with the shield of your love and goodness and let them shine for your glory! Bless everyone with an abundance of joy and happiness this Thanksgiving and help them truly understand the amazing power of genuine praise and thanksgiving! We love you, Lord Jesus, and we praise your Holy name as we ask this in your name and authority and for your glory! Amen.
