A Prayer for SIL, Day 91

On By LindaIn prayersLeave a comment

Jesus, fill SIL with Your Spirit as she sleeps. I know the Holy Spirit dwells in her, but I’m praying for a fresh outpouring, a renewing of the zeal she once had.

Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? 1 Cor 3:16

And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel… and they came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God… Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is it not as nothing in your eyes?,,,The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts. And in this place I will give peace, declares the LORD of hosts. Haggai 1:14; 2:3; 2:9

Lord, just as You stirred the people to restore Your temple in the Old Testament, I pray You stir SIL’s heart to restore Your temple, herself, to hold even greater zeal than her former years. And may You give her peace.

In Your Inviting Name,

Amen

A Prayer for SIL, Day 83

Lord, as SIL spends time with your people, may they share their hearts and faith with each other. May they each speak and hear truth, and be strong enough to accept the truth.

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Colossians 3:16

Jesus, as they talk with each other, let Your Word dwell richly in their conversations, teaching and admonishing each other in all wisdom. I doubt SIL will sing, but let spiritual songs bubble up from her spirit into her mind. Maybe she will consider the words with thankfulness to You. Bless every attempt she makes no matter how awkward.

Don’t be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Romans 12:11

Fill her with Your Spirit, Your Truth, and Your zeal for our Father who is in heaven. May she serve You instead of herself.

In the Richness of Your Name,

Amen
