my heart for you

My heart goes out to you this morning

before the cares of the day set in,

when every week

seems frenzied,

and you feel the burdens you carry

grow heavier.

And I want you to know

I pray for you.

I pray you will know you are loved.

I pray that deep inside you will know the rest

that comes from knowing you are loved.

I pray for deliverance from

the lie that says you need to do more

to prove your worth.

I pray for release from the grip of fear,

that you would know the beauty

that grows in you,

that in time all good things

mature and flourish,

that goodness grows in you,

that there is hope.

I pray for healing in grief,

that comfort would be yours

as you know the pain of loss.

I pray you would see

what God sees in you—

that you are special and gifted—

that when God thinks of you,

God delights in you.

I pray your heart would be strengthened,

open and childlike—

that you would be filled with faith,

that you would have patience to wait—

to know that in time all good things

mature and flourish,

that you would have the sense

that the best is yet to come.

I pray that even when life

seems to be crashing down all around

you will know the center

where mercy lives,

where grace is able to give you

more than what you need,

where God’s strength is perfected in your weakness,

where God’s grace is perfected in you.

my heart for you
