My heart overflows for you today sweet Allume community. Would you allow me to pray for you and sow a seed into your blogging and ministry?
Heavenly Father,
I pray for the precious woman reading this right now. I thank you that nothing surprises you and wherever she is in her blogging journey that you are pleased with her and love her fully right here. Would you allow her to rest in You right now? That you have her in this place and this online space for a reason.
Thank you Father, that this woman, this molder of words, is fearfully and wonderfully made. I praise you that you have great plans to prosper her. Thank you that you know her every thought and that you delight in the details of her life.
I ask that You would help her to know and understand more clearly the amazing depths of your love for her that she may live a life of confidence in You and the things you have called her to. Holy Spirit, would you speak to her right now about who You are and who she is in You? Reveal any lies she has believed about who she is and flood her heart with the truth of how you see her.
I ask that you would provide for her in every way. Grant her unusual wisdom, abundantly clear direction and great vision. Protect her and her family as she walks in this calling and takes back territory that the enemy has held. Arm her for battle Lord, but hold her tightly when she is weary from it.
My heart cries out for you to bring her the encouragement that she needs and the friendships she longs for. Fill her life with sweet moments, reflections of Your heart, that bring her great joy.
Teach her to let You be her source so that she never runs dry. Give her a deeper passion for You and Your Kingdom and drive eternity into her heart so that eternity would drive her.
Father, when she fails, help her to know that you You never do. Then let her rest in your unfailing love as you hold her and wash her with grace. Be her strength in weakness.
Teach her to turn away from comparing herself to anyone else, for comparison is death to what you have called her specifically to do. Help her to trust Your plan and Your timing. Thank you that you never look at us in comparison with anyone else but that you see us as you created us to be: beautiful and holy.
I ask for a breakthrough for her this year. Because of Your goodness and her obedience to this call to bare her soul with words, would you tear down walls that have stood in her way? Will you rain down your favor and blessing in her life in new and fresh ways?
And to you be all the glory and all of the honor for every crown she receives. You alone are worthy of praise and may you be magnified and lifted up in her real light living.
Amen
With Love, Kristin at The Beautiful Deep
