Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord. ~ Isaiah 38:2
I have been thinking and concentrating a lot these past few days of the young men I have come to call “My Boys” who are incarcerated behind walls. I pray for them each day and I ask the Lord to grant them strength and hope and I pray that they seek the Lord and bring Him closer to their heart. If they are true to their heart’s desire to grow their faith and bring the Lord and Savior close to them, it makes me want to wish those walls holding them back from the family, loved ones, and friends would just crumble away so they can once again have the ability to choose to work for our Lord Jesus.
There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. ~ Proverbs 23:18
I pray that my boys will be blessed by God with the hope for a future with Him and doing work for our Lord Jesus. I believe that we can build on our hope by growing our faith and we can help this with prayer each day.
So watch yourselves. “If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them.” ~ Luke 17:3 +++
I hope and pray that we all can ask for the forgiveness of our sins and forgive those who have sinned against us. I pray for Nick, I pray for Bryan, I pray for Stephen, I pray for Michael. I pray that my boys and their loved ones seek the Lord our God each day and ask Him for guidance in their lives and direction to the path they must follow.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. ~ Psalms 32:8
