***Audio Version Here: Rest In The Grace Audio 546
Opening Prayer:
Father, in the name of Jesus, thank you. I thank you, God, that we’ve made it to another evening. I thank you, God, for traveling mercies, O God, that the mighty woman of God has made it through the day. I thank you, God, for keeping us through this day so that we can make it to tonight, O God, and rest. And Lord God, I am praying for this mighty woman of God to experience rest: deep, satisfying, refreshing rest in your Spirit.
I’m praying, God, that tonight, as she prepares to settle her home, as she is praying over her home, over her family, over her children, I thank you, Lord God. I thank you, God, that you are ordering her steps and restoring authority and dominion which has always been hers. Thank you, O God, that we’re being transformed, O God, by the renewing of our minds, that we may see the good, acceptable, and perfect will of the Father.
Lord, I pray that the mighty woman of God begins to prove, O God, in her very life that you are with her, God; that by faith she will receive that you are keeping her, God, and that there is a divine release over everything that concerns her: over her children, over her finances, over her career, God, over the place that she’s in now, God. Even for those who are retired.
I thank you, God, that the mighty woman of God is finding joy in her days and peace in her evenings. I thank you, God, that the rest will go deep, O God, and penetrate her body; her sleep, every bone, every joint, O God. Lord, I thank you that her body is being healed in the name of Jesus. There will be a grace that covers her this evening as she rests.
I thank you, Lord, and I pray in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
All throughout scripture, God shows us these mighty women of God who are called. They are called to pray. They’re called to war. And they’re called to risk their lives for their people, for their families, for restoration to come upon her and upon all those connected to her.
We see it with Abigail, who turned the heart of David and kept him from killing every man in her home (1 Samuel 25 KJV). Every child, every man, every boy was going to be slaughtered that day, and Abigail went forth with tidings, with kind words, with repentance, and with a reminder of who David was in Chris: anointed and being prepared for the throne.
God has so much more for each and every one of us.
As mighty women of God, we have the capacity to speak to what that is in our lives, to speak to that peace, to receive in our hearts that the Lord is with us, to change everything, to stand on the Word and see the will of God manifest in an entirely new way. A way that maybe we did not think could ever be done, in a way that changes our family’s blessings: their peace, their favor, and their portion.
Because of our obedience, because of our prayers, because of our grace, our love. Whether we’re working or whether we’re at home, the Lord has blessed you to do the great work. He’s blessed you to bless your home, to bless your family, and to bless all those who come in contact with you. The Lord has called us to great works in and out of the house of the Lord, in and out of our own homes, whether going into the city or out in the country.
The Lord blesses us in the city, and he blesses us in the fields. We are covered by the Lord our God. And the blessing of God goes with us wherever we go because the Bible tells us He will never leave us nor forsake us. Let that be your portion tonight: that the Lord is with us and that He’s keeping you, and that as you are called to stand in incredible situations for your family, He’s right there with you.
I pray that as you face overwhelming odds in your finances, in your health, and in your relationships, the Lord is with you, and He is ready to walk with you into miracles, signs, and wonders. In Him, our God is waiting for you to lift up your hands, to trust, to know that He is God, and to receive in your heart that He is able and that he is doing it for you. That His will is for you to prosper even as your soul prospers.
So tonight as you rest, receive in your heart that it is finished, that the Lord is with you, that he’s mighty to save, mighty to deliver, and mighty to set free. In Jesus’ name. May the Lord bless you this evening. I’ll see you in the next Evening Devotional. Good night.
Good evening.
