When we purpose to live for God, then let us also trust Him fully. This may call for adjustments on our part. Doing His will is not always easy, but it is the better option. The writer of Hebrews encourages fidelity basing his advice on God’s promise from Deuteronomy: the Lord will not forsake us. Hebrews 13:4-6.

May our individual and collective experiences during such a season as this cause us to focus on Jehovah as the reason for our existence. May we realise that He created us for a certain purpose and may we determine to live for Him. Job 33:19-30.

May we also hear what the Lord is saying in the midst of all the turmoil around us. As Elihu mentions in Job 33:14-18, God speaks in different ways to warn us so that our lives may be preserved in difficult times. May we heed what the Lord is saying to us.

The events around us point to impending judgement from the Lord. My prayer is that the Lord would remember mercy even under these circumstances like He did in Jeremiah 33:1-16. May we also learn the lessons He is teaching us through these tough times.

And verse 24 and 25 of Hebrews 10 go on to admonish us as brethren to meet and fellowship so that we may encourage one another in the Lord. The circumstances that would cause us to seek God out of desperation are major. We should not face them alone. Let us support each other, pray for one another and draw strength from each other.

Some people get to the point of being still after a period of desperation due to challenges they have endured. For others it may be different. My prayer for us is that no matter what we shall quietly be assured of God’s faithfulness and love even as we trust that He will carry is through whatever situation we have had to endure. Hebrews 10:19-23.

How does it feel when mountains shake, break and fall into the sea? When nations fall? It must be very unsettling. Yet the psalmist reassures the children of Israel that the Lord will save them. Being still is predicated on trust in the Almighty God, on faith that He exists and is able to save us, no matter the severity of the circumstances we face. Psalm 46.

There are times when we get to a perceived dead end, when we have done all we could but there seems to be no way out of the challenge we are facing. We may have even prayed tirelessly, but there seems to be no respite. The words of Psalm 46 are very encouraging when one is at such a place. May we be encouraged as we look up to God. May we be still and experience Him in a special way.

And as we and our kin purpose to have a deeper walk with God and to be used of Him for His glory, may we also be beneficiaries of His grace, love and mercy. May our eyes be set on Him always and may we experience His presence and love increasingly. Psalm 37:23-24.

And as we acknowledge the Lord and His majesty may we not tire in being vessels He uses for His glory to point us and others to Himself. May we and our kin not be among those who reject Him and pursue other gods. May His presence in us cause us to stand for all He stands for. Psalm 97:1-12.
