Meet Me in prayers of confession and humility; I will not reject you, for I am your Redeemer, and I will complete each work in your heart as you join with Me in agreement.

Know that it is ever My pleasure and joy to receive your prayers, your conversation, your seeking questions, your thanks and praise and, as your Sacrifice, your Advocate, your Intercessor, make them acceptable to the Father Who grants your requests and meets your needs, in My Name, through My atonement, as He sovereignly sanctifies you in purity and holiness through His delightedly joyful and supernaturally abundant provision.

May you be blessed by the Lord with kind words of cheer so that you may lift anxious hearts which weigh down others as you see them today. Proverbs 12:25
