Psalm 145:13-16

13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,  and your dominion endures through all generations.  The Lord is faithful to all his promises  and loving toward all he has made.

Abba Father, how encouraging it is to know and be confident that the God we love and follow is eternal?!  Lord, there is nothing that can shake your Kingdom- that is so reassuring.  When our world seems to unravel around us, we can know without a doubt that Your Kingdom is secure and because of that, our future is secure.  I pray that You would encourage (name) today with that truth.  Give them confidence to know that nothing will ever push You from the Throne.  No King will ever topple Your kingdom and no authority will ever exceed Your power and dominion.  You are faithful to all of Your promises- we can be sure You will bring each one to pass..  Remind us of that today, Lord.  Remind us of Your love.  I pray that (name) would rest secure in Who You are and in how You love them.


14 The Lord upholds all those who fall  and lifts up all who are bowed down.

Thank You, Father, that you are strong enough to hold us when we falter and fall.  You won’t let us go.  You see our struggle and our weakness.  You see when we stumble and when we fall.  You are there beside us when life is too hard and You reach down and lift us up.  We can’t do it ourselves and that’s why You are God and we are not.  I pray that (name) would see Your strength, protection and Your closeness today.  Let there be no shadow of turning.  Lord, grab their attention and help them to see that You ARE there and You know all that they face, even if they hold it close to their heart without telling anyone.  Lord, You see the darkness and the struggle and depression.  You see the sin, the pride, the addiction.  And You are strong enough to battle it all and lift us up, clean us off and set us back on our feet.  (Name) needs to believe it, Lord.  Work in their heart today.  Let them know YOU are the rescue they need and the only One who is strong enough to win the battle, overcome the obstacle and lift the burden.  Work in (name)’s heart today.  Uphold them.  Lift them.  Love them, Lord.


15 The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.


I pray that (name) would look to You and no other.  Help them to see that You, and only You, are the provider of peace, the remedy to the sick heart and broken mind, the lifter of the fallen and the healer of the broken.  Remind them that Your timing is perfect.  You are never early and never too late.  Your clock runs differently than ours and although we’re impatient and have a sense of urgency, Your perfect will always is best.  Help us to submit to that.  Help us to wait, Lord.  Psalm 27:14 tells us to “wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.”  So, instead of growing more impatient and losing our focus and our temper, help us to be strong and take heart while we wait for Your proper time.  You will not fail us, Lord!


16 You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.


Psalm 37:4 tells us that if we delight ourselves in the Lord, that You will give us the desires of our heart.  If we delight ourselves in You, our desire will be to know You more, to obey You, to be like Jesus and  honor You with our lives.  I pray that today that (name) would delight themselves in You and that  You would open Your hand and satisfy those desires.  Grow (name) into a man/woman after Your own heart.  May their desires please You and when You open Your hand, spiritual blessings pour out on (name) and fill them to overflowing.  I pray this in Jesus’ name, amen.

Pray without ceasing
