  • Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 40:1-2

    By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. -Psalms 137:1

    DEVOTION
    Based on Psalm 137
    This psalm is a poignant reflection of grief and longing. The exiles in Babylon sat by the rivers, consumed by memories of Zion—their home, their temple, their place of worship. Their sorrow was a mixture of longing for the presence of God they once felt so closely and the pain of separation from their sacred community. This verse speaks to anyone who has felt displaced or distant from God, reminding us that even in our deepest sorrow, God hears our cries. He sees our tears and invites us to trust that He is with us, even in exile. His promises remain, and His restoration is sure.

    Take a moment to sit with your grief or longing. Breathe out your sorrow, and breathe in the assurance of God’s presence. Trust that He is a God of restoration and hope, working even in the places of exile to bring you back to joy.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: Praise God for being a faithful presence, even in times when you feel distant or displaced. Rejoice in His unwavering love and His ability to restore what is broken.

    CONFESSION: Confess moments when your faith wavered in seasons of grief or exile. Share your doubts and struggles with God, knowing He understands your pain.

    THANKSGIVING: Thank God for how He has comforted you in past sorrows. Acknowledge His faithfulness in every trial, and thank Him for His promises of restoration.

    SUPPLICATION: Father, in my moments of grief and longing, draw me close to You. Remind me of Your faithfulness and fill me with hope for the joy that is to come. Help me to trust in Your ability to restore what has been lost.

    PRAYER
    “I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.”
    PSALM 40:1-2
    Dear Heavenly Father, You have set me on a high mountain. Your loving embrace lifts my spirit and fills me with joy and contentment. You are faithful to me and I praise Your goodness that has been evident in my life. Your promises are sure and you provide for all of my needs. Help me to not be anxious about tomorrow, but to trust in You and Your unfailing love. All of my hope and faith rests in You alone, for I know You are faithful to fulfill your promises. Give me the courage to stand firm in my faith and never waiver from trusting in Your goodness. In Jesus' name, Amen.🙏🏾
