FOR THE HARVEST

Lord, on behalf of all of the other mamas, teachers, leaders, mentors, caregivers, nurturers, cultivators-of-souls out there — I ask that the outpouring of Your spirit would start with us. Change us, renew us, realign our minds with Your truth. Let your reviving Spirit infiltrate our lives. Use us to impact the next generation of souls so they may live to bear Your glory. Help us to remember that we are chosen and created by You for this time, for this purpose, despite our shortcomings. Lead us to come boldly before Your throne, and let Your Spirit of grace and love pour into and out of our dry places — quench our thirst, and let Your living water pour into those around us. We need you, Jesus. Amen.

{A Promise for the Empty}

“And if you give yourself to the hungry
And satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
Then your light will rise in darkness
And your gloom will become like midday.
And the Lord will continually guide you,
And satisfy your desire in scorched places,
And give strength to your bones;
And you will be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.”

{Isaiah 58:10-11}
