Holy Spirit, capture our hearts with your loving strength. Fill them with heavenly comfort and joy so that we may always rest assured in God and face our concerns with joy and contentment, and so as children of God overcome this evil world. Praise be to you forever and ever, Holy Spirit, along with God the Father and the Son! Amen.
(From Amish Prayers, compiled by Beverly Lewis, page 64)
“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4, NLT)
Today I am joining …. Still Saturday and Sunday Stillness and Spiritual Sundays and The Sunday Community and Scripture & A Snapshot and Sacro Speco .
Oh yes; God’s Word is a Comfort In Times of Need; HIs love and amazing grace give us strength throughout the day! š Beautiful prayer!
Blessings!

Thank you for sharing with me. So thankful that His Word always supplies exactly what we need!
Dear Joanne
God’s love is not something we can hoard in our hearts, neither His comfort. It just has to spill over to those around us!

Mia, so very true. He gives to us so we can in turn give. And as we give, He gives us more. It is an endless supply.
Thank you for lighting the way into this quiet Sabbath. What a beautiful prayer you’ve shared. We pray it together, Joanne …

Visiting from Sacro Speco, and I love this! The photo reminds me of the wise virgins with their lanterns. š
The wise virgins with their lanterns! Yes!!! Love that thought. Thank you so much for sharing with me.
I sure do need my heart captured constantly by His love and strength. I ain’t nearly as strong and loving as He is. So, HE IS FIRST!!! Good reminder you did for me. Thanks.
It was a reminder for us both š May our hearts remain captured!
I really needed this right now. Thank you.
I am glad that in stopping here you received what you needed. God is faithful.
This is beautiful. I’m so glad I popped in from Scripture and a Snapshot!
