For I know the plans I have for you” – [this is] the Lord’s declaration-“plans for [your] welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)
Well Beloved Abba, Father, There is power in Your name. You are Lord forever and there is no one who can challenge Your authority and power. You rule forever and ever. You bring some to victory and some other to total destruction. Abba, may I find favor always in Your eyes. Not because of any of my merit but because Your mercy and forbearance. I bring myself before Your throne of grace, and ask that You would look upon me with Your favor. Your word says that You give strength to the weary, so I ask that You would strengthen me. Bless me Lord with Your presence, and encourage my heart. Remind me of Your faithfulness and Your love that I might stand in faith against the issues that I face. I bind the schemes of the enemy to tear me down, and I rebuke the spirits that try to discourage me and entice me to give up. I ask You Lord to minister fresh strength and joy to me. I agree with Your word that says Your plans for me are to give me hope and a future. Be unto me like a breeze, which brings comfort in the hot summer. I pray these in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
