You, O Lord, have shown me what is good; And what does the Lord require of me, but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with my God. Therefore, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me. I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts; I will look to see what he will say to me, and what answer I am to give to this complaint. For life is not the way I thought it would go. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it lingers, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay. [Micah 6:8; Micah 7:7; Habakkuk 2:1; Habakkuk 2:3]
Paul prayed for the Thessalonians, and now this prayer is for me because You placed it in Your word: Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with You. Do not grow weary in doing good. [2 Thessalonians 3:16 and 3:13] Help me continue to do good before Your eyes and find peace deep within me, for I do not have that peace now. Let me be faithful to serve, focus on what is true, and keep my mind on reaching heaven, and ignore the voices that continually try to draw me away from focusing my life on You. Help me to pray with sincerity and with faith. Let me witness healings, people being restored with hope, and the wonders You have presented to us daily if we only truly look to see. Let me breathe again and accept the breath of Your Spirit to fill me, recharge me, renew me, direct me, and help me to discern how to live going forward.
But the Lord is faithful, who will establish me and guard me from the evil one. And I have confidence in the Lord concerning how he handles my life, both that I do and will do the things He has commanded me to do. Now may the Lord direct my heart into the love of God and into the patience of Christ. Amen! [2 Thess. 3:3-5]
