"For Such a Time as This" - Dealing with the 'spirit of weariness and hopelessness'
The 'spirit of weariness and hopelessness' may cause God's Prayer Warriors to occasionally feel 'exhausted in strength, endurance and vigor.' But God knew that in this world, we would be targeted by the enemy and susceptable to weariness. He reminds us of His Sovereignty and speaks His sweet balm of comfort over us by saying, “Come to Me, all who are weary and I will give you rest.”(Matthew 11:28)
Proverbs 13:2 says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life”. We turn to You Lord, as our hope and source of Life.
We claim Isaiah 40:31 over our lives, which promises: “But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
Prayer: Lord, we bind the spirit of weariness and hopelessness that has battled against Your Warriors. We place our full trust in You and find our hope and strength in Our Abba, who gives us rest in the midst of earthly battles. We declare that as we remain focused on You, we will soar high above earth-bound entities and will walk in the Spirit living for Your eternal purposes. We decree that ALL shackles from the enemy are BROKEN and we cut the cords of the wicked so that Your Servants will run and not grow weary; walk and not grow faint! Hallelujah! Amen
Father, in this day, You are calling Your Remnant to stand firm. We are to encourage one another as in Isaiah 50:4-
“The sovereign Lord has given me the words of wisdom, so that I may know how to comfort the weary. Morning by morning he wakens me and opens my understanding to his will”.
Prayer: Lord, teach us how to comfort our brothers and sisters during times of weary battle. Strengthen Your 'Troops' for the days ahead that we all may “pray in the spirit at all times and on every occasion; staying alert and persistant in our prayers for all believers everywhere”(Ephesians 6:8). Guide us by Your Spirit and pour your blessings over Your People. We say YES and AMEN and bring all GLORY to YOU, LORD!
