Day Fifteen
Health for Your Body
1 Peter 5:10 And the God of all grace will Himself restore you and make you strong.
Damp coals hang from your arms. They slump your shoulders. Even walking seems difficult today. Its label is nervous energy but why would energy make you tired?
Frail one, come gather health for your body.
Today I Pray for You:
· To drink from the Vine that sustains and strengthens
· To take one step toward health today
Today You Pray:
Mighty God, I’m falling into Your place of grace today. This is far more than a health club. It is a sanctuary where my temple is restored by its’ Master Designer.
Your strength arrives as a stream of healing. It gently washes my strain to surface Your reservoir of life within. I am renewed.
What a much needed prayer today Shannon. It is so cold and rainy out that damp does hang from my arms and makes it difficult to do anything, let alone walk. Perfect Prayer for a really crummy day. Thanks!!

ReplyDeleteTracy, I am truly blessed to be a blessing to a wonderful sister like you!
ReplyDeleteI soooo needed this today! He is my healer and my strengthener! I'm so grateful for His energy source that sustains me when I'm depleted. Thanks, Shannon!

Oh, I LOVE that prayer, Shannon. I've been letting my temple go, lately, because of some sadness in my soul, but He has been showing me grace and mercy, new every morning. I love this beautiful prayer.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
~Erin
Oh Shannon, I have been suffering with the flu for longer than a week and it seems to be getting worse :( I'm counting on His mercy and His strength to be healthy and feel renewed again! Thank you for these healing prayers sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteI've never thought of God's presence as a sanctuary where my temple is renewed before. Beautiful thought! I love that even though we live in time, with the wearing down of our bodies, we can be renewed!
ReplyDeleteShannon, I just made a doc appointment for Sat for bloodwork to see why i'm so tired all of the time--- I so needed this today.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful prayer! I have been so physically drained lately as I am sick and entering my third trimester of pregnancy. It is so rejuvenating to take a moment in prayer. Even if I can't go out and run a marathon, my soul can always use an energy boost!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this.
ReplyDeleteSharon, isn't it amazing how God knows what we need and just can't wait to give it to us?
ReplyDeleteJill, thank you for your visit. So thrilled you came and got reconnected.
ReplyDeleteErin, He holds your temple and gathers your sadness. Standing with you, sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteHeidi, so bummed to hear you are sick. Praying for God's sweet hand on you today.
ReplyDeleteBeck, Yes! So love that He stands above time yet intersects with us in time.
ReplyDeleteKelly, praying for God's wisdom as you visit the doctor.
ReplyDeleteTyKes Mom, I remember well the exhaustion of those last few months. Praying that God tends to the heart of the mommy as He grows your baby.
ReplyDeleteTracie, you are so welcome. Thank you for your visit - I am honored.
ReplyDeleteHaving an autoimmune disease and taking prednisone for four years can zap your physical strength, but it can also give you free reign with renewing your mind. Even in the midst of physical limitations, you can go to that quiet place in your Spirit where you receive strength enough. He is sufficient.
ReplyDeletePeggy, love this "go to that quiet place in your spirit where you receive strength". Beautiful! Praying for God to sustain you in the midst of your condition.
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon~Everyday your Prayer guide is so good. God has really been speaking to me through this.
ReplyDeleteThank you for being obedient to Him in your writing.
God bless you...Chelle
Chelle, what a beautiful thing to know your heart is touched. So blessed to hang out with you here!
ReplyDeleteOh how powerful! I have come to your blog before and I think it has to be one of the most "peaceful" blogs I have ever seen. When I leave, I leave with a sense of purpose and calm. Something I desperately need at times. Thanks for the prayers you post and the gentle reminders to walk with HIM.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by the blog too.
Jacqueline, love it when you visit. So thankful your heart is filled with peace.
ReplyDeleteI seriously need to start reading your blog every day. It is so inspirational and uplifting! :)
ReplyDelete:) You are too sweet, Elisabeth. Thanks for being a voice of such kindness and encouragement.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little behind in reading, but this is timely today. I'm not feeling well ~ AT ALL! In fact, as soon as my husband took our son to school, I hopped right back into the bed to rest.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your continued prayers, my friend!
Stefanie, so sad to hear you are sick. Praying you've had a restful day that has refreshed and restored you. XOXO
