From Isaiah 40:1-2:  “Comfort, O comfort My people, says your God.  Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that she has served her term, that her penalty is paid, that she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.”

God’s invitation

Walking before Me

Fleeing sin’s darkness

Peace shall cover thee

 

Confidence cries out

Embracing God’s way

Leaving wilderness

Hope transcends this day

 

God’s glory revealed

Kneeling before Me

Comforting presence

Tomorrow walks free

 

Each valley raised up

Revealing God’s grace

Rebuilding faith’s trust

Joy beams from His face

 

God’s will standing tall

Sharing Word with Me

Believing His truth

Mercy granted thee

Fill your affections with the cross of Christ that there may be no room for sin.

John Owen (1616-1683) was an English Puritan church leader and theologian.

Prayer is to the spiritual life what the beating of the pulse and the drawing of the breath are to the life of the body.

From James 5:16:  “Therefore confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed.  The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.”

John Henry Newman (1801-1890) was an English theologian, philosopher, and writer.
