sunlight reflecting
off the ice-covered park bench
hope flows in my veins
as I pray for a spring thaw
in those who are discouraged
~ wlm
When praying for others, remember to commit them to the Lord. Don’t carry everyone on your shoulders–commit instead of carry. I wrote about it here: Battling Anxiety: Commit Instead of Carry
And I podcasted about it here: Walking With Hope
This is my prayer:
that your love may abound more and more
in knowledge and depth of insight.
Philippians 1:9 NIV
What’s your favorite prayer for the discouraged?

They are pressuring owners to pay boost fees if we want our followers to see our posts. I appreciate followers because they make Facebook fun. Thank you. <3
I just posted about Moses’ prayer when God didn’t seem to deliver on his promises. Among my favorite prayers for the discouraged are Acts 4:23-31 and Psalm 17.Thank you for another uplifting post.
Thank you, Michael. Your post is powerful and I like the Bible prayers you shared here. Psalm 17 is beautiful and inspiring as David definitely knew how to pray with passion.
Lovely!!! Thank you for sharing!!! 🙂 <3
Thank you, dear T.R. <3 Blessings for 2018.
Thank you, Wendy, for these words of comfort and reassurance and for the reminder that it is not my job to carry other peoples’ burdens. Instead, I can commit my cares and concerns for others to the Lord. Blessings, Wendy, and Amen.
Thank you, dear Sharon, for stopping by. My husband and I were just talking this morning about the importance of committing and not carrying our loved ones. Such a small step makes a huge difference. xo Blessings.
