Lord,
I’m desperate for Your comfort, guidance, and peace. Unable to manufacture that on my own, I turn to You for provision.
Your Word promises nothing can separate me from Your love. So I’m breathing that truth in … cherishing it. Your love renews and reinforces me. When life perplexes, Your love restores my vision. Gently, fiercely, You hold me to Your breast—sheltering me from the enemy’s arrows and infusing me with power.
Your love empowers…
Mighty God, I rejoice in Your infinite love and its ability to save, shape, and strengthen me. Thank You! No one else could ever meet my needs or support me like You. In Your presence, truth unfolds while my heart opens before You. Tenderly guiding, You solidify my steps and remind me You are near.
Your love leads…
“For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Rom. 8:38-39, NASB
Your love clings…
Christ Jesus, You displayed Your Father’s heart as You willingly hung on that splintered cross. Lovingly You bore every ounce of hatred, shame, punishment—for me. You agonized, died for, and freed me from my sin … because of Your everlasting love. My words can never repay You, nor do You want them to.
But I give You my heart. Anew. As You hold it in Your nail-pierced hands, I know You’ll never let it go. You are forever faithful, my Savior, Lord, Father, and Friend. Nourished by Your love, I long to spill it out on others today.
Your love sacrifices…
God, You ARE love—empowering, leading, clinging, and sacrificing. Gratefully, adoringly, I worship You.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
