Beauty from ashes

Mourning to praise

Oil of gladness

Justice in pain

A promising portion

God, they’ll rejoice in your name.

—A poem the Lord gave me during our intercession for Israel.

“Their descendants will be known amount the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”

Isaiah 61:9

Father, we lift up Israel, your chosen people. Your blessed children. We ask that in your name you bring restoration, peace, and prosperity to the nation. That they may experience joy and laughter once again. Our hearts break for what breaks yours father. Thank you for being a God of completion. A father who holds true to his promises. A father who is coming back and will rescue His people from the hands of the enemy. Lord you have not forgotten Israel. They are not being punished nor are they forsaken. You love them. God you are so patient, so kind, so nurturing, and always present. Continue to pursue the hearts of your children, and my brothers and sisters.

Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate slow to anger and abounding in love. 

Life on earth is all about returning to the Lord.

I’m returning.

They’re returning.

We’re returning.
