The Lord is Keeping You Audio 554
Opening Prayer:
Father, in the name of Jesus, thank you. Thank you, God, that we’ve made it to another evening. Thank you, God, that the mighty woman of God has gone out safely, O God, and has been returned by your grace. O God, I thank you for keeping the mighty woman of God. I thank you for traveling mercy.
I thank you, God, that this evening she is covered. I thank you right now, God, that you make all things new. Thank you for the grace and the glory of God. You are the Alpha and the Omega, God. As the mighty woman of God lays down tonight to rest her body, as she steps into a place of ease, I pray that the weight of the day comes off of her, that the baggage of today just comes down.
I pray that all of the stuff that she’s carrying, God, that it will leave her heart, leave her mind, leave her shoulders, O God, leave her body. All the tension, all the fear, let it break, in the name of Jesus. Lord, I thank you, God, that she is sleeping tonight and that she will get sweet rest under the weight of your glory. I thank you, Lord, and I pray in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
We all know that the enemy desires to sift you as wheat. This is what Jesus said to the disciples when He said the enemy desired to sift you as wheat, but I prayed for you. When Jesus says this to the disciple, he is encouraging him, warning him, and admonishing him that the Lord is praying for him, that he is not alone, that God is with him.
To consider that the enemy may desire to shake you up, to unbalance you, to distract you, to sift you, and to like shake you around so it’s almost as if you’re nothing but a vapor, as wheat, right, just being thrown around and tossed about in life. That may be what you are dealing with right now. That may be what many of us are dealing with from season to season. But God is faithful, and He’s more than able.
When we look at our lives, and we look at all that happens, the fact that you are still here in this moment is an indication that God has not given up on you. He is not finished with you yet. And so while the enemy does his best to destabilize, to demoralize, and to distract, God is right there whispering in that still, small voice to trust Him.
He’s whispering that He sees you.
He’s whispering, and it’s our job to be still and to know that He is God. So tonight, commit yourself to complete stillness. Commit yourself to complete relaxation. Commit yourself to letting go of every door, every wall, every stronghold, and every issue in your heart and mind.
Release it from your heart and come into a place of divine rest in Christ Jesus. That you will experience the grace and glory of God, that you will experience the peace that surpasses understanding, that you will be replenished and restored in your spirit, and that you arise in the morning full of His glory, full of energy and peace.
I pray in the name of Jesus tonight. Even though the enemy desired to sift you as wheat, the Lord is with you. The Lord is keeping you. The Lord is mighty to save and mighty to deliver. It is the King of Glory that is interceding on behalf of all of us, day in and day out. May the Lord bless you. Have a good evening. I will see you in the next Evening Devotional.
Good evening.
