Joy

“Now I am coming to you. I told them many things while I was with them in this world so they would be filled with my joy. John 17:13 

Father, give us the wisdom to believe the many things Jesus has told us and with that knowledge, fill us with Your joy! Let our hearts be full and overflowing with the wonders of Your love. Your Word is deep in our hearts; we ask that the joy of the Lord overflows from us to those in need. Let our children and families hear the Word and receive it so that Jesus can be made full in them. Transform them with the anticipation of a life lived with You. We pray that they have a steadfast heart to seek You and know You. Let them be Your servants who love others as You love us and guide them into Truth. Father, make them to be lights that shine on others. Refresh them from the weariness of sin and raise them up to be joyful in all things. We pray for them and we praise You for Your faithfulness.

We ask for Your blessings on Israel, give them peace and protect them from their enemies. Bless our families and our nation with wisdom and deliver us from deception. Let the blindness fall away and the sight return, show them Son and please Come quickly, Lord Jesus, come quickly, 

In Christ alone.
