Comfort and Strength

SCRIPTURE
II Thessalonians 2:16-17

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.


PRAYER
Lord, you are indeed the one who has loved ______. Make his heart feel the passion and depth of that love. You are indeed the one who has comforted him. Spread the warmth and calm of that comfort over him just now. You are indeed the one who has given him hope. May he awaken with a sense that all will be well, no matter how difficult it may seem. You are indeed the one who has given him grace. Wash him anew with your undeserved forgiveness and favor. And Lord, you are the one who gives strength to his heart. Please use the works of his day, and the words that land on his soul as a means to infuse raw strength into his heart, a strength that can endure the sting of the storms, and the persistence of the pelting rain, and the bitterness of the biting winds. May comfort and strength reside side-by-side in his heart and provide that wonderful blend of calm, dignified endurance. Amen.


ENCOURAGEMENT
The love you desire, the comfort you relish, the hope you long for, and the strength you must have… all come from our Lord himself. Open your heart and receive them. He will lavish them with generosity.
