Restoration & Renewal

"Am I a God at hand, declare the Lord, and not a God far away? Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot  see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fell heaven and earth? declares the Lord." ~Jeremiah 23:23-24

O Shepherd of Israel, the Son of God enthroned at the right hand of God the Father, come and save us from those tormenting us with lies and tyrannical fear. Restore us, O God of hosts, and let Your face shine upon us! See that we are perishing all day long at the hands of Your old enemy.

Let Your justice come soon and save our sons and daughters from peril and self-mutilation. There is none capable of facing those in power and greed. Only You, O Lord, can do the impossible and restore order from chaos and injustice. O Jesus, bring me comfort and courage through Your Word.

“Forgive me when I sank by my hindrances, from being content with little measure of the Spirit, from thinking You will not give me more. When I feel my lack of Him, light up life and faith, for when I lose You, I am either in the dark and cannot see You, or Satan, and natural abilites content me with little light, so that i seek no further for the Spirit of life. Teach me then what I do. Should I merely humble myself and not stir up my heart? Should I meditate and use all means to bring Him nearer, not being contented by one means., but trust HIm to give me a blessing by the use of all, depending only upon, and waiting always for His light, by use of mean?” ~ Exerpt of the Valley of Vision

O God, renew our sons and daughters’ spirit so they may delight in and observe Your law.
