✝ 🕊️The Joy in Music🕊️ ✝️
Part 3: Encouragement
(Ephesians 5 • Romans 8:28)

Father in Heaven,

I pray in Jesus Christ✝️ name as Your Holy Spirit dwells…

Tonight I especially pray
that encouragement reaches 🕊️.
Given the entire prayer’s context,
may 👍🏾our🕊️ common foundation laid
Cause every prayer prayed,
every lesson learned,
and yes every song heard,
Cause moments of reflection—
That express to You✝️ our affection
and cause Your✝️ guidance
To become clearer
through 🎶something🎶
playing in three minutes
what a conversation struggles
to say in thirty.

May Your✝️ music
remind 👍🏾us🕊️
to keep going
knowing through You✝️
we can stay hopeful,
Remain thankful,
and trust You✝️
when emotions fluctuate
and circumstances shift.
Your✝️ 🎶Spiritual gift🎶
For this reason can
cause the joy in music
from this season
to become part of 👍🏾our🕊️
fellowship with You✝️.
To remind 👍🏾us🕊️
that praise and worship still matters.

May ✝️Encouragement from lyrics
read as the truth of our expression
when 👍🏾we🕊️ don’t
fully know what to say.
In those moments Father✝️
👍🏾we🕊️ can realize
Comfort and clarity
In the simple action
of pressing play to know
“Peace is in the day”
From there Lord✝️
May you guide 👍🏾our🕊️ hearts
back towards You✝️.

Because Father,
Since You✝️ are working
all things together for good,
then help make music
become ministry.
From melodies that become medicine.
From harmony’s healing.

To this let 👍🏾our🕊️ hearts
remain open to the joyful noise
that glorifies You✝️.
and causes every good thing received
through it to draw 👍🏾us🕊️ closer
to Your✝️ peace,
Your✝️ wisdom,
and Your✝️ Love.

In Jesus Christ✝️ name I pray and give thanks. Amen. 🕊️
