You may be wondering if anybody sees, anybody knows, anybody cares. I wanted you to know someone does. And I am praying for you.
Especially on this day, as you pour yourself out in love, I pray you experience a return – not just in the world of faith, but even in the realm of sight – that others would give back to you as you have so faithfully given to them.
As you laugh today, I pray that others laugh with you. As you sing, I pray that others sing along. As you labor, I pray that others work beside you. As you dance for joy, I pray that even there you delight in the company you keep.
Recognizing that no one has limitless strength, I pray that today you would find rest on the other side of that good kind of tired – of knowing you have offered the Lord and His people your all. I pray that your soul and body would experience deep, renewing sleep.
Nearer and nearer to the day He calls your name, I pray that you have a spirit of anointed urgency – that you would find the balance between giving your all to the task that needs to be done and resting and waiting upon Him for another day.
I pray for a rested heart, and a spirit that is keenly sensitive to the promptings of His Spirit. You will need both today, and I pray that you experience that seamlessly.
No weapon formed against you – and there are weapons formed against you – will prosper on this day. This is a day in which you stand in the heritage of the servants of the Lord. I pray that you are vitally aware of your birthright in Him, and the heritage of faith on which you stand. And finally…
Giving yourself in service to others, I pray that others will offer themselves to you. And I am willing to be the first answer to that prayer, as I offer myself to stand in the gap for you – to hold up your arms – to war in the heavenlies on your behalf.
