A Prayer for SIL, Day 25

Lord, I come to you tonight with yet another plea that you heal SIL of all past experiences that left scars, and that you fill her with Your Spirit. Let peace reign over any turmoil that is binding her and causing problem behaviors. Work within her heart and mind. Call her to You. Increase her appetite for Your Word and give her a little push to overcome her inertia.

So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation. 1 Peter 2:1-2

Lord, I pray that You show SIL when she is being deceitful, when she’s holding malice in her heart – even if it’s about someone in her past. And when she’s being a hypocrite. Like a newborn infant, like when she first got saved, I pray she craves pure spiritual milk – Your Word – so she can grown in wisdom and in You.

In Your Light,

Amen.

A Prayer for SIL, Day 13

Jesus, I can see little signs that You are working in SIL. Thank You. I pray that she will continue to yield to You. Give her the courage to ask You to show her heart to her – that You show her anything in her needing to be addressed.

Prove me, O LORD, and try me, test my heart and my mind. For your steadfast love is before my eyes and I walk in your faithfulness. Psalm 26:2-3

Prove SIL, O Lord, and reveal to her what You find. Test her heart and her mind as You help her to see Your steadfast love for her. May she walk this journey with You, knowing and trusting in Your faithfulness as she goes where you lead her. The path to health, maturity, and freedom is not easy or fun. Lord, I pray she inclines her heart toward it anyway. Hold her fast so she feels Your touch as she takes these hard steps.

In Your Steadfast Love,

Amen.
