Warrior Prayers...Day Twelve


Prayers for Day Twelve

The prophet Isaiah promises: “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.  Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.” (26:3-4)

Perfect peace.  The Hebrew word for perfect peace is “shalowm”…a peace where everything with God is as it should be.  It is a state where we are brought back into the original relationships that God intended.  It is the Garden of Eden but, because of Christ, even better.

We are kept in that state of perfect peace by keeping our mind “stayed” on the Lord.  We are committing our thoughts, our attitudes, our inclinations to the Lord.  We are trusting in Him to be that solid rock who guarantees our future.  We can put all our weight on Him because he is strong enough to support it. 

Commit to praying the following prayers for your sons or grandsons today.
