Opening Prayer:

Father, in the name of Jesus, thank you. Well, thank you, God, that we’ve made it to a new evening. Thank you for traveling mercy. The mighty woman of God went out and came back. O God, I thank you, God, that we can rest tonight knowing that we are in you, we are safe in you, we are secure in you, and nothing can separate us from you.

Thank you, O King of Glory, for covering the mighty woman of God tonight as she rests. As she lies down, as she prepares her home, O God, to rest. I just thank you, God, for a day well done, despite what might have happened in the day. God, I just thank you that she’s here now, that this is where we can begin to release every weight.

We can begin to cast down every weight, and we can turn to you knowing that you are the Lord our God. You are mighty to save, mighty to deliver, and mighty to set free. So, Lord, I thank you. I bless you, O King of Glory, for tearing down every wall.

Thank you that the mighty woman of God can lay down tonight and slumber and experience the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. Thank you for securing her home, securing her children, securing her finances, God, securing her heart and mind. No matter what she is enduring, God, you are with her. You are more than able to walk her through every situation.

So, Lord, I give you glory. I bless you for the mighty woman of God. I thank you for the favor of God over her this evening, Lord. I thank you, God, I thank you, Lord, and I pray in Jesus’ mighty name.

Tonight, as you lay yourself to rest, remember that everything that you have dealt with, everything that you have walked through, all of it has a purpose. It may feel like every twist and turn you’ve walked through may have just been unnecessary weight or unnecessary warfare. But many of the things that we endure day in and day out help to cultivate us, help to strengthen us, and guide us on our journey in Christ.

God did not promise that this journey would be easy.

He did not promise that there wouldn’t be times when you would struggle, and you would be tired, and that you would want to rest. There are so many scriptures that speak to the fact that God knows this would be a reality. Galatians 6:9 tells us to grow not weary in well doing, for we shall reap a harvest if we faint not.

The Bible tells us in Numbers that God shall never leave us, never forsake us. He is always with us. He knows what we deal with, what we struggle with in the body of Christ. He knows your personal struggles, what your family’s dealing with, and what you have encountered.

He knows the nature of the warfare that you are encountering. He knows that the enemy may be coming against your finances, your sleep, your children. He may be coming against your stability of mind, your purpose, and your employment.

But God. God is more than able.

So tonight, as you rest in his presence, as you sit with the Lord, just remember to say, thank you. “Thank you” for every trial, every circumstance, every tribulation, every wall that you must walk around, endure, and overcome. For this is strengthening you.

It is empowering you by His Spirit to lean more into God than you’ve ever leaned before, to trust more deeply than you ever knew possible. We’re meant to walk in Christ Jesus, to grow in His will and in His Word. To not be stagnant in our faith, to not be stagnant in our trust, and to not be stagnant in our knowing the Lord.

Through prayer, through fasting, through diligence, purpose, through sitting in his presence and knowing what we’re called to be, who we’re called to be, and how we’re called to show up. That comes by way of personal relationship with God. That comes by way of edification. That comes by way of fellowship.

It comes by way of a relationship with God, where you pray, and you hear, and you know the Spirit of the Lord is at work within you. That’s what it says in Ephesians 3:20-21. And so, because the Spirit of the living God is at work within you, that means you have the capacity to pray.

You can call out to God, and He will answer, as it tells us in Jeremiah 33:3. So we are not alone. In every part of your walk, every single barrier, everything you’ve had to navigate has been purposeful and has been a blessing in disguise. It has grown you, it has strengthened you, and it has solidified your walk with God in a way where you know you trust Him, whether it ends up well or not.

You trust Him because you have come to know Him through time spent in His presence, through the pressing in His Spirit, through the pressing in prayer, and the pressing in your praise and worship. There is so much that comes forth when you are walking in Christ Jesus.

So much development, so much growth, so much transformation. Radical shifts in mindsets and attitudes. All of that comes by the grace and glory of the living God. He is El Shaddai, and He is more than able. May the Lord bless you tonight, cover you and your family as you rest. In Jesus’ name. I’ll see you in the next Evening Devotional. Good night.

Good evening.
