Forever: Purpose: Prayers and Poetry

 Philippians 4:19-20, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Forever

How often--or maybe too often--do we fret and worry before we pray?

Then become anxious as to whether we have chosen the right actions and our worries increase.

Yet, if we would stop and trust, His supply of grace is gifted to each of us. Ready and available to sustain each step-by-step alongside our quivering faith. He doesn't fault us for our anxiety. But He does wait for us to ask. Even while protecting us from ourselves and misunderstandings. 

Lord, may You alone receive the glory for every provision You give.

Forever: Grace in the Wilderness: Prayers and Poetry

                                                
                                               Forever

                                                Whole valley,

All that has gone before.

Ashes now.

Protected by His mantle.

Permanent grace.

Never more plundered.

No more battle ground.

Wholeness only future.

Psalm 127:1 “Unless the Lord builds the house,

                        They labor in vain who build it;

                        Unless the Lord guards the city,

                        The watchman stays awake in vain.

                        It is vain for you to rise up early,

                        To retire late,

                        To eat the bread of painful labors;

                        For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.

Thank you for participating in this devotional reflection through Jeremiah 31. May this next season of Lent bring you grace and joy as you continue to journey with scripture.
