Praying God’s Word Wednesday #11

by 12 Comments

Welcome back to praying God’s Word on Wednesday!  Our verse today, Psalm 33:22, is already a prayer.  Feel free to read it to God verbatim if the Spirit leads.  I’m also going to retool it a bit to pray for someone specifically.

 

May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you.  NIV

 

The verse itself is short and sweet.  The Believer’s Bible Commentary says that the psalmist’s prayer is simply to “ask that they [God’s people] might continue to bask in the sunshine of His steadfast love as they continue to depend on Him alone.”

 

There are so many things constantly vying for our attention, devotion and loyalty today.  It can be easy to put our hope in things we can see and touch – investments, relationships, jobs, for example – before we even realize our focus is not on Jesus.

And yet we know that He triumphs over everything and everyone else in the end.  So my petition for a loved one today is this:

 

 

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

 

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

Praying God’s Word Wednesday #5

by 12 Comments

The middle of the week is here and I’m ready to share scripture and prayer with you.  A couple of months ago I shared with you that my word for the year is TRUST.  God gave me Romans 15:13 NIV to memorize and meditate on when anxiety and fear overwhelm me.  Since I am constantly praying it over myself, I prayed it over some loved ones recently as well.

The verse:

 

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

An example of how to pray this passage:

 

 

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 this 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.
