Comfort and Mercy | Oct 9th

  “Let your steadfast love comfort me according to your promise to your servant. Let your mercy come to me, that I may live: for your law is my delight.”

  Psalm 119:76-77

  Beloved, we may be confident that our prayers will be answered when our requests align with Scripture. The Psalmist appeals to the God of heaven for steadfast love, which provides comfort. He seeks God's mercy for another day. Let us carry this same request in our hearts as we approach the Father.

  God takes great delight in hearing our prayers, even more than we are inclined to seek Him. He desires to fulfill these requests, knowing that only He can give mercy that brings life and steadfast love that comforts us in every season.

  Although we are unworthy to be heard or to make such requests, the Lord desires to pour such blessings upon us. No one in this life can comfort us as the God of all comfort does. Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace today in the name of Christ. The steadfast love of God has made it possible for us to come, receive comfort, and obtain mercy.

In Christ Alone.

Christ is With You | Oct 8th

  “He leads me…”

   Psalm 23:2

  Beloved, the Shepherd has promised to lead you throughout your life, offering guidance, protection, and provision. He has assured you that He will not forsake you and will provide help in times of need. It is comforting to know that the Lord is guiding us. Ultimately, He not only led us through life but also leads us to Himself.

  He alone is the Prince of Peace, the Bread of Life, and the Living Water. Christ called all who were weary and thirsty to come to Him, and this invitation endures. Trials arise providentially to draw us closer to the Shepherd. As our paths may stray, the staff of the Good Shepherd guides us back into the care of the One who gave His life for His people.

  Let not your heart be troubled, nor be overcome by despair. Christ is leading you to Himself so that in Him you may find strength and peace. The Lord will restore your soul for His name’s sake and keep you secure in His hands.

In Christ Alone.

Morning Prayer | Oct 7th

  “Turn to me and be gracious to me; give your strength to your servant.”

  Psalm 86:16

  Beloved, what do you ask of the Heavenly Father today? Shall we ask for the physical needs of life, or shall we come to the fullness of God’s storehouse and ask for the richest of blessings?

  When we realize our frailty and how far we fall short of God’s glory, we are compelled to humility and then ask for His grace. God's holiness compels the heart to seek His grace. The plea, in light of a dark world and a war waged upon the soul, is that the eyes of our Savior fall upon us.

  May Christ the Redeemer shine His face upon us and empower us with His strength. Above all else, we require the graciousness of our Lord and the strength of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Let this be our prayer for today, trusting that all other needs will be provided.

In Christ Alone.
