Two weeks ago I shared a prayer from my mom for our Praying God’s Word Wednesday.  Today, a sweet friend who knows her fair share of struggle, prayed into mine.  The scripture passage she chose:

 

“Restore our captivity, oh Lord, as the streams in the south.  Those who sew in tears shall reap with joyful shouting.  He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed, shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.”  Psalm 126:4-6  NASB1995

 

Her kind and generous prayer for me:

 

 

 

I love this.  My heart’s desire, even more than healing and prosperity and  everything to go my way, is for God to be glorified through the lives of me and my family.  Ok, maybe that’s not my deepest desire every day.  I am human after all and I desperately want my husband to be healed.  But on my best days and most enlightened moments I long to be used of Him in everything.

 

Beyond a doubt, I know that one day these hardships will show themselves to be “light and momentary troubles” compared to the eternal weight of glory.  So

 

Replace the pronouns with the appropriate ones for the person (or yourself) that you are praying for.

 

Praying for you in this.  And don’t forget to share on social media or with a friend who could benefit.  It would mean so much to me.  And if you don’t want to miss a Praying God’s Word Wednesday, subscribe over on the right hand side of this page.
