The moment I woke up I KNEW you guys had been praying for me because what had felt like dark stormy skies suddenly felt clearer.  THANK YOU! You are a blessing 🙂

I realize it may feel odd to post another one so quickly on the heals of the last, but from several emails today I am reminded that I am not the only one going through these thing within the body at large and in the Dyed4you Community. So I wanted to pause and lift up the D4Y Community and just know that by extension I’m praying this out for the body of Christ.

Father God, so many of Your children are struggling with depression and discouragement in this season of heavy testing. I pray that Your love and joy would undergird them and that Your peace would reign in their hearts and minds. I pray a hedge of protection around them that the enemy would not be allowed to pester them in their vulnerable state.  Your sheep know Your voice and another’s they will not follow – let it be so Lord that Your children turn a deaf ear to the taunts and mockery and direction from the enemy.

Lord, I thank You that You supply their EVERY need according to Your riches in glory. You are a good Father and see all that Your children have need of and provide in advance for them to have it. I ask You Lord for the grace for them to trust Your provision – for Your grace is sufficient.

Thank You God that nothing shall be stolen from them – not peace, not health, not provision or blessing.  All that comes to our hands comes from You and it shall not be taken from us.

Thank You Lord that in Your mercy You are preparing us for the days to come. I pray that we would be soft and pliable in Your hands – easily taught and fully submitted to Your plans and will.  Give us the grace to stand fast and be the light and salt You created us to be. May our lives bring You glory and honor.
