🙏🏾 ✝️ Strength for the Quiet Work

Father in Heaven…
I pray in Jesus Christ✝️ name
As your 🕊️ Holy Spirit dwells
With us in the quiet places,
where truth does not need volume to be real —
we come again,
leaning into You,
resting in You,
seeking strength for the quiet work
You’re doing beneath the surface.

Lord…
You see the tribulation of this season —
not as punishment,
not as confusion,
but as pressure shaping purpose,
So we bring it
so we can take it as a responsibility
Of purpose shaping hope.

And that hope —
like Romans 5 teaches —
isn’t loud, isn’t dramatic, not frantic.
It is rooted.
It is steady.
It is grown in the soil of grace
To keep us ready
before storm ever knew our name.

So Father…
this prayer is for 🕊️.

Cover her with the same peace
You’ve been cultivating in silence —
the peace explained in A Clarifying Peace,
the peace that guards what she cannot speak,
the peace that comforts when stress is at it peak

Guide her, Father —
gently,
wisely,
Absence the influence of pressure,
Help her understand her importance rest on her
ability to look [past it]
It’s necessary! A greater priority!

So Father✝️,
Help her know what she needs to know.
Grow where she needs to grow
Even the more so😎!
We know (⛷️= 🏈 =⛷️); the importance patience
So, help her see what she needs to see.
Help her discern what she needs to discern
And learn of me
without fear,
without the noise of other people’s assumptions.

And Lord…
keep us far from every planted idea,
from every misinterpretation,
from every whisper that did not come from You✝️.
For Your Word says:
“Casting down imaginations…” (2 Corinthians 10:5)
So cast them down before they ever reach our heart.

Let her feel safe —
to grow,
to breathe,
think clearly,
pray freely,
to trust the difference
between genuine pastoral concern
and anything falsely assigned to it.

Let her see the truth
through Your✝️ lens only.

Lift every unnecessary burden off her shoulders.
Guard her from tribulations that do not belong to her.
As you guard her from fear so her faith grows strong
And let Your🕊️ Spirit✝️ whisper:
“My child… nothing about this is unstable.
I keep covenant.
I guard what concerns you.
I settle what others try to stir.”

So Father✝️
strengthen her mind,
steady her emotions,
calm her atmosphere,
and give her rest.

Let this be the week where resilience grows —
Beyond fear,
not by force,
Nor expectation —
but through grace doing what grace does.

And Lord…
shape my presence
to be nothing but clarity —
nothing but safety,
nothing but order,
nothing but peace,
nothing but Christlike restraint
in everything I do.
So that in the end as I lead we can say
There’s none like 👍🏾us🕊️
With trust!

Let nothing about my past,
Cause misunderstanding,
nothing about the pressure of Richmond
speak louder than Your✝️ truth.

For You are still the God who said:
“A bruised reed shall He not break…” (Isaiah 42:3)
And we speak that promise over 🕊️ tonight.

So Father —
cover her,
keep her,
guide her,
settle her,
strengthen her,
and let Your peace —
the peace that surpasses All understanding —
be the place she rests,
the gate she walks through,
and the atmosphere that keeps her safe.

In Jesus Christ✝️ name…
I pray and give (⛷️= 🏈 =⛷️) thanks.
Amen.
