Prayer from a friend...

What sweetness (and humor) comes from the people God puts in our lives...

God,
You have created and You have designed by Your power and Your wisdom. You know all things, You hold all things together in the palm of Your hands. I thank You that we can trust You, believe You. Trust that You are good and that You walk through life with us, never leaving, never forsaking. We believe that Your promises are true and GOOD and that Your love and Your word satisfies deeply. I thank You that you know us intimately. God I pray for my sister Jen. Be with her today and give her strength for the battle. Lord I pray that she would put on her armor so that she can stand firm against all strategies of the devil. We know that we are not fighting a fight against flesh, but of the unseen rulers of evil. God I pray that she would put on every piece of Your armor so that she will be able to resist the enemy in this time, so that in the end she can see You still standing. I pray that she would stand her ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of Your righteousness. That she would put on shoes of peace that comes from the Good News so that she will be fully prepared. I pray that she would hold up her shield of faith to stop these fiery arrows of the devil. I pray that she would put on salvation as her helmet and take her sword of the spirit with is Your word. (girl...you be looking FINE!!!) Father give her strength to fight this, God, knowing that You go before her in battle. You have already won. I pray that she would claim that victory.

Lord I pray that You would examine her heart. You know everything about her. You know when she sits and when she stands. Even when she is far away You know her thoughts. You see her travel, You see her when she is at rest at home, You know everything she does. You know what she will say even before she says it. You go before her and You follow her, You place Your hand of blessing on her head. This knowledge is too wonderful to understand! Lord remind her that she can never escape Your Spirit, that she can never get away from Your Spirit. Everywhere You are there. Your hand will guide her and Your strength will support her. Even in the darkness she cannot hide from You. To You the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to You.

God remind her today that You made all the delicate, inner parts of her body and you knit her together in her mother's womb. You watched her as she was formed in utter seclusion, and she was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw her before she was born, every day of her life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are Your thoughts about Jen. They cannot be outnumbered! We can't count them, they outnumber the grains of sand!
Lord comfort, Father wrap Your arms around my sweet friend and remind her of Your love for her. I pray that she would be found in You and in You alone. You are the only one that matters.
We love You sweet Jesus!
AMEN!
