December Prayer Connection
‘Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.’ Isaiah 40:31 NASB
My husband and I are preparing our home to welcome our son, his wife, and our infant grandson for an early Christmas. We are excited to decorate the house, set up the tree, and borrow a port-a-crib for the baby! In the midst of this preparation and the holiday season I am finding myself dealing with a long time health challenge causing need for immediate rest anytime of the day or evening! I’ve dealt with this before occasionally but now it seems to be every day! The scripture above tells us that in our time of waiting we can renew our strength. Through daily prayer and quiet time I can place my faith in Jesus to renew my strength. Prayer does make a difference! For me it can change my attitude, release me from anxiety, and strengthen my faith.
Dear Jesus,
Thank you for coming down to Earth to be ‘God in us’. May we sit with you this Advent season to feel your presence and renew our strength. Let us remember that YOU are the reason for the season! In your precious name we pray, Amen
Please know that the Lord of Grace Prayer Team continues to pray over all prayer petitions sent our way, including the requests entered in the prayer journal in the Narthex. The Team will also continue to offer individual prayer times after each worship service on the 4th Sunday of each month. We strongly believe in the power of prayer and that a continual connection with our God will keep us all close to Him.
