A Purpose

SCRIPTURE
Psalm 57:2-3

I cry out to God Most High,
to God who will fulfill his purpose for me.
He will send help from heaven to rescue me,
disgracing those who hound me.
My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness.


PRAYER

Lord, lift ______’s heart this day with the reassurance that you have a purpose for him; a high purpose; a purpose that will honor you and impact others with his strength and giftedness. I know that as he sits alone in the midst of the storm, doubt assails him. He wonders if he has missed your purpose. He muses that somehow his failure has thwarted your plan. He fears that the gifts you have given him will go to waste. Ah but Lord, YOU are the one who will fulfill his purpose, by your rescuing help, from the depth of your unfailing love and faithfulness, and in response to his cry to you. Hear his cry Lord. May his cry be specific, persistent, and bold. May he ask you for great things, not great in the eyes of man, but great in the quiet place where only you see. Lord, fill him with a passion for faithfulness to you, faithfulness to use his gifts to your honor. And may he know that he can do that, even when no one but you is listening. It is your heart that is lifted as he makes the music of his gifts, as the songs of his soul come out through those gifts. Lord, make him sing that song; make him sing it to you. And reward him in the deep place of his soul as he honors you in the quit place of his life. Give him the faith to know that one day you will make the beauty of his song an instrument of healing and grace to many. YOU will do that Lord. Help his faith. Give him hope. Lift ______'s heart today, please I pray. Refresh him by his own giftedness. Amen.


ENCOURAGEMENT
He has gifted you. He has a purpose for you. Today he is shaping, sanding, polishing, and tuning you. And one day he will present you as a well-tuned instrument, with the song of your soul touching many. One day.
