Dear God…

Dear God,

The week that You just brought me and Ab through has definitely not been the easiest. You called us to minister in the midst of rejection, disappointment and disunity. And it was no wonder that emotions ran high. There were times when we questioned You and the call You gave us; there were times when we disappointed You and shied away from tasks that seemed too difficult; there were times when we were disobedient and faithless. And while no two persons are in the same exact situation, I’m sure that those who are reading this prayer can relate to some of our experiences this past week.

God, where we lost sight of You, we are sorry. Please forgive us for seemingly forgetting the God whom we serve, if only for a moment, and allowing the problems of this world to deter us from the call You have given us.

But even when we turned away, You were still right there and for that, we say thank you so much. We are so grateful that You, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, love us so much and are so merciful and compassionate that even when we don’t deserve it, You are working things out for our favour. Thank You for the things that did work out over the course of this week and the amazing moments You provided in the midst of the heartache.

Omniscient God, You knew how this week would go before time began, just like how You know exactly how next week will go and what will be our peaks and where we will stumble while in our valleys. Help us to not take your mercy for granted because You are also a just God. Instead, give us the courage and the strength not to make the same mistakes twice, or three times, or even four.

While this week for us all might not have gone according to our plans, we pray that they went according to Yours and we thank You for the miracle that was today, for the silver linings on every storm cloud and for the persons that You have blessed through us, the ones we knew about and the ones we didn’t.

Help us to remain available to You and strengthen us for the next task that You are setting up for us. Give us an obedient and willing spirit so that You can have Your way.

In the matchless and holy name of Jesus Christ our Lord, we pray,

Amen.
