Dave reflects on the prayer of Jacob in Genesis 32 before he is meets his brother Esau.
Remember, and be encouraged that you can be 100% yourself in prayer. Thankfulness, praise, fear, anger, whatever you’re going through – just pour it all out to God!
Sometimes we hold on to bitterness and don’t know how to handle God’s great grace for others. Today, Mark reflects on the book of Jonah and gives us a challenge: rejoice in God’s compassion and embody it for the world.
“And whenever you stand praying, if you find that you carry something in your heart against another person, release him and forgive him so that your Father in heaven will also release you and forgive you of your faults.” – Mark 11:25 TPT
I will sing and greatly rejoice in Yahweh!
My whole being vibrates
with shouts of joy in my God!
For he has dressed me with salvation
and wrapped me in the robe of his righteousness!
I appear like a bridegroom on his wedding day,
decked out with a beautiful sash,
or like a radiant bride adorned with sparkling jewels.
11 In the same way the earth produces its crops
and seeds spring up in a garden,
so will the Lord Yahweh cause righteousness and praise to blossom before all the nations!
