Ohana Prayer 255 – Matthew 11

2 When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples 

3 to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”

4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 

5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. 

6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”

28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 

29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 

30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Praise to our Heavenly Father, Creator of the Universe. You are the fountain of all and all in all! Everything happens are all with Your permission on us. Everything that is with Your acquiescence caused the dried-up branches in our lives to be purged so we can be more fruitful, bearing Your name’s sake. We seek of the heavenly wisdom now coming to Your throne with a heart of awe.

Misunderstanding, negligence, slander and aversion has overfilled our hearts, Lord Jesus. Hear us, O Lord! The pressure and difficulties brought on by the pandemic made us vulnerable, lost our way as if we are in bondages inside the dungeon, hopeless in our minds. Alas! We know of You, our loving Lord Jesus will never leave us wallowing in these difficulties for You are full of grace and tenderness! You are sympatric to our weakness, tears, hardened hearts, depleted spiritual strength and will lift and carry us through the dune of difficulties.

Mended vessels we are, Holy Spirit. Yet, You continuously fill us up with Biblical evidence to allow of the truth and light shine through the cracks. Forgive us of being forgetful of Your wonderous work in our lives, in fact, we can be of today in front of You is due to You willingness to bear our weakness, put on the cloak of blessings on us so we can survive and pressing on even through the challenges of freezing havoc. Where we fail and fallen, O Holy Spirit, please pick us up so that we can bear the cross and be yoked with our Lord once again pressing onward to the heavenly path. Pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
