Dear Father, thank You for being intimately acquainted with all our ways, Ps 139:3. Very much alone right now for various reasons and need "the nearness of GOD to be MY GOOD" Ps 73:28. I ask for revelation, Eph 1:17, grace to praise and worship and ability to hear Your voice, Jn 10:27...
Bible Study group "doesn't do street preaching, just discipleship" so I have no one to go with me though "the harvest is plentiful, the laborers are few," Luke 10:2, so I continue to ask for a wisdom and direction.
Though asking grace to pray and fast for my wife to return with my son for over a year now (with little to show for it at present), nevertheless, I endeavored to obey God to "Lead the Way" and I trust the word of God will not return void, Isa 55:10-11, and the deeds cannot be hidden, 1 Tim 5:25... Help me forgive from the heart and put her into Your hands.
I know the Lord is praying in a similar way as He did for Peter, that though the devil desires to "sift us like wheat, He ever lives to make intercession for us, Heb 7:25, praying my faith won't fail, and afterward I strengthen others, Luke 22:31-32. I ask for the church the gates of hell will not prevail against to resist the devil with me, James 4:7, for nearness to God, James 4:8. Strengthen me with power to know the dimensions of CHRIST'S LOVE, and as the old hymn sets forth, "Though none come with me, still I will follow," (Old Rugged Cross, George Bennard, 1912-1913).
Deliver me, my wife and son from temptation, sin, deception and lies, Luke 11:4, Matt 6:13, Zeph 3:13, Prov 30:8. Let the Word GO FORTH, keep us from evil people and the evil one, 2 Thes 3:1-2, 3, John 17:15, and let me see together with the rest of the righteous the day the serpent be choked with a great chain by "an angel" Rev 20:2. Thank You in JESUS' NAME...
P.S. -- Thank you for sending an earthquake 3 mins after I warned her JESUS disciplines and REPROVES those HE LOVES, Rev 3:19. IJN
