Rebuilding

SCRIPTURE

 

Psalm 147:1-6

 

Praise the Lord!

How good to sing praises to our God!
How delightful and how fitting!
2 The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem
and bringing the exiles back to Israel.
3 He heals the brokenhearted
and bandages their wounds.
4 He counts the stars
and calls them all by name.
5 How great is our Lord! His power is absolute!
His understanding is beyond comprehension!
6 The Lord supports the humble,
but he brings the wicked down into the dust.

 

 

PRAYER

Lord, it brings such hope to know that you are the re-builder. You rebuild broken hearts, broken worlds, broken spirits and broken dreams. I pray for ______ this week Lord that he would feel the power of your attentive care. I ask that you would bandage his wounds, and begin the healing. I pray that your power would be displayed in the reconstruction of his life. May your understanding so penetrate his life that he feels known, understood, accepted and loved by you. And as he feels hid back begin to bend under the load of life, may your support be powerful and sweet. May his hope rest completely in you, Lord. Amen.

 

 

ENCOURAGEMENT

He calls the stars by name, and yet you are more brilliant and more important still. He knows and understands you. He heals. He has both the power and the understanding to do whatever it takes to re-build you. Trust him today, and walk closely with him into tomorrow.
