The Seen & Unseen

So many women that I know are suffering right now.  Praying for a child to recover from sickness, praying for a lover to be healed, praying for strength after burying a spouse and praying for the courage to move forward after a marriage that abruptly fell apart.

There is a lot of grief and overwhelm circling.

As I was praying for these women, 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 was presented to me. These two verses say, "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Although nothing about their current afflictions seems light or momentary, I pray each of these women can find hope in God's word and in his never-ending promises. I pray their hearts and minds can comprehend his overall plan of eternal glory for each of us.

As we enter into this new week, I pray that each of these women will Embrace Stillness, to receive a unique, customized message from God that will reignite their faith and belief in his goodness.

I pray that the people who are closely connected to these women will hold space for them by showing them grace and praying earnestly for their wellbeing.

I pray that they are able to Maintain a Peaceful Space by shutting out the excess noise that will try and keep them from hearing what God has to say.

In it all, I pray for God's will to be done concerning each of these situations.

Dear Lord,

   Thank you for having a plan for our eternal glory. Because of this we can focus our attention on something greater than the troubles that try to overtake us.  I pray for your divine protection over all those who read this message. I pray their heart will be protected and their love will be elevated to acknowledge their blessings, past and present. In Jesus Name. Amen
