Lift up your hands to the holy place and bless the Lord! Psalm 134:1
I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers… Eph 1:16-23
Dear friends near and far,
One night this week I had a dream showing me carrying worry about family and world matters. I awoke, led to Psalm 134. Check it out. Just three verses. Short, but sweet. Lift your hands in praise and prayer, in the darkest of night, and Crucified Lord will bless you I hear, “Empty your hands. Give Me each thing you are worried about. Trust Me, so you can lift your hands in praise and prayer. Let Me lead.”
And the way He is leading this week is the apostolic prayer in Eph 1:16-23. I spoke about this last spring, and it’s back on our “radar screen.” Pray it aloud for yourself, your born-again relatives and friends, and His whole church. If they are not yet saved, ask Him to save them and then do an Ephesians 1 work in their life!
Living in His rest means you sit with Him wielding His sword/word in prayer—instead of standing up on your own two feet and taking matters into your own hands. Let Him stay in control and you will stay in peace. He will always make it abundantly clear when it’s time to follow Him into relational interactions in line with His prayers. Intercession is always intervention with the Lord. Intervention, without the Lord, is always meddling in the flesh. Empty your hands. Trust His.
