Prayers for those who need Reassurance
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.
PSALM 136:1
The Bible never wavers in reminding us of this wonderful truth:
God is good.
Not
“will be” or “has been” but “is”. He is good when we can feel His goodness;
and
He is still good when we can’t. He is good when we are surrounded by the
love and kindness of family and friends; and He remains good when we are
lost in grief and loneliness. Whether we are dancing on a cloud or crying into
our hands, the character of God never changes.
Our
circumstances vary wildly during the course of our lives; but our God always
remains the same. His love never fades like ours does. He never goes off us or
grows tired with our affections. He will never become bored of our
company. Neither will He ever be unfaithful to us. He is solid. He can
be trusted. He will never fail you, forsake you or give up on you.
No matter what you are going through today,
remember that it has all been filtered through the caring hands of our good,
loving Father in heaven. And take heart; His love endures forever. He is good.
Heavenly Father,
gather me, Your precious
child, close to You at this strange and isolating time.
Living with less
accountability and structure, the days can slip away with
less meaning; with less devoted attention to Your
goodness and Your Word. May Your Spirit, who gives
me love, power and self-discipline, help me
seek Your face each day and know the joy of Your
glorious presence.
May I find new and
unexpected blessings in this trials I make time to rest with
You and draw closer to You in ways I never
anticipated. To Your praise and glory,
Amen.

Lord God, our almighty King and Saviour,
how awesome are Your works.
Even when we cannot see Your hand, we know You are at work on our behalf. You
answer our prayers in righteousness and in Your perfect way and timing.
Reassure us of Your love
and presence. Remind us that our every breath is Your gift to us; and that Your
eyes are always on us.
Thank You for Your love and
Your grace. How could we ever live without You? Be our Rock today, we ask. To
Your glory, Amen.

O Lord, how I need You!
You are my help and my deliverer, my Rock on
whom I stand.
Show me again the joy of
Your salvation, the freedom of Your forgiveness, the strength of Your grace,
the rest of Your unending love for me.
I run into Your arms again,
Father, just to be held by the One who will never leave me or forsake me.
You are my hope and joy and
strength. Praise Your name, O Lord! Amen.
