You are enough. And I slept for all of 2 hours. So I’m up.
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
STRENGTH for Today – JEHOVAH MA’UZZI
PROVISION for Today – JEHOVAH JIREH
HEALING for Today – JEHOVAH RAPHA
HOPE for Tomorrow – YAHWEH. I AM who I AM – to exist
Yahweh, thank you for a new year. A new opportunity to be drawn closer to You. I’m a bit early (like five hours early), but I am thankful that You are always here. You never sleep (and that’s why I am trying to 🤭). And You watch over us. You watch over the words You have spoken over us to ensure that they come to pass. You are Intentional towards me and I am truly thankful for that. Yahweh, I have watched you heal me daily. Restoring me daily and I am thankful. I am amazed at Your movements and Your leading. You are my God and Yahweh I am choosing to be intentional towards You. I know that it won’t be on the same level as Your intent towards me, but thank You for accepting me as I am. Thank You for being enough. Thank you. Sometimes I feel like I need new words cause I keep saying Thank You, but I am thankful.
- For Healing.
- For working on my heart.
- For restoration in You.
Yahweh, even though it is (was) painful, I do understand why, and I am thankful that You called me and You are healing. My heart is Yours. Yahweh, I pray for the one You intend for me to share (part of) my heart with in the future. He is Your child and You love Him. Heal his heart. Touch Him. Let him feel You. In everything he does. Let his heart be returned to You and may He be restored in You. Thank you for Your Promises. Open my heart to hear from You. Open my heart to show Your love to others. It’s seven (7) days – I can do all things through You. You are my strength. Jehovah Ma’uzzi. You are my provider. Jehovah Jireh. But most of all, today, I am thankful that You are my Healer. Jehovah Rapha.
Psalm 34:18 – The Lord is near to the broken hearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
Psalm 147:3 – He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
We can’t see a broken heart, but the wounds bleed anyhow and need caring for. You care.
Psalm 41:4 – As for me, I said “O Lord, be gracious to me; heal me for I have sinned against You.”
The truth is (as hard as it is to say), our heart (my heart) is broken when we move contrary to Your will and Your timing. Thank you for forgiving us. For loving me despite my brokenness and for healing me.
I LOVE YOU LORD
Imma definitely need Your help pushing past the feeling of physical hunger. Let my heart be what hungers and thirst after You. You are my strength. You are enough.
Isaiah 43:1 – Do not be afraid, because I have reclaimed you. I have called you by name; you are mine.
Thank you for calling me. For knowing me. YOU HAVE BEEN SO GOOD TO ME!
So joke. Yesterday I put up a picture of myself and asked, “I wonder what’s in store for me in 2022?” I got four responses: Great things. All the best. A good man. Marriage. Had to smile. I do hope for all those things, but only two out of four this year.
