Tuesday, September 21, 2010 — IDOK Devotion

To review the names of Praying for These, please click here.

Charles Inwood, a Methodist preacher from the late 1800s and early 1900s said, among other things, this:

“When God is going to do a wonderful thing, He begins with a difficulty.  When He is going to do a very wonderful thing, He being with an impossibility”

So should you be expecting an impossibility to unfold?

From Power Promises and Prayers compiled by Christian Book Distributors, I read these words and now offer them to you:

“All of us face adversity, discouragement, or disappointment.  When we do, God stands ready to protect us. Psalm 147 promises believers that He heals the brokenhearted and binds their wounds (v. 3). When we are troubled, we must call upon God, and then, in His own time and according to His own plan. He will heal us.”

Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

⁵Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite.
⁶ The LORD supports the afflicted; He brings down the wicked to the ground.

¹¹The LORD favors those who fear Him, those who wait for His lovingkindness.

Dear Heavenly Father, when I am troubled, You heal me. When I am afraid, You protect me. When I am discouraged, You lift me up. You are my unending source of strength, Lord; let me turn to You when I am weak.  In times of adversity, let me trust Your plan and Your will for my life. And whatever my circumstances, Lord, let me always give the thanks and the glory to You.

To that I add: Amen, ABBA, make it so in each of us.  Comfort and protect our IDOK Troops we pray; comfort, heal, give strength to our friends and family as their names are listed; heal and save America; revive Your Church and bring peace and protection to the Nation of Israel in the Blessed and Holy Name of JESUS.  Amen and amen.

Holy hugs, kt
