We do not need to enter
prayer in worry and fretting and turmoil in our hearts. If that is the state of your being this
morning (as it was mine), switch your lens first to His sovereignty, His
goodness, His care for all that burdens you, and for all that He has done to
win the victory. The tone of
your prayers will then be different.
You will pray from a place of expectation for the ongoing unfolding of
more of that peace and freedom.
We sometimes think we are
left to just endure the hardships, and indeed, perseverance is part of the
work. But don’t forget that the
victory has already been won, and it is the main work of believers to
BELIEVE.
We are not in a position
of having to win the battles. Read
again what was prophesied (Isaiah 61) and then took on as His work forward
(Luke 4)…
To BRING good news to the
oppressed
To BIND UP the brokenhearted
To PROCLAIM liberty to
the captives
And RELEASE to the
prisoners…
To BRING good news to the
poor
To PROCLAIM release for
the captives
And RECOVERY of sight to
the blind
To LET the oppressed go
free,
To PROCLAIM the year of
the Lord’s favor.
