A prayer and a blessing all rolled up into one. It’s a call for guidance and help along the way. It’s a process prayer in the midst of a situation. It’s acknowledging the present while seeking support in the “next step.” And along with this succor comes the presence of love and perseverance.
II Thessalonians 3:5
May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
I want this prayer to be part of my daily mindfulness.
Another reason I like this prayer is that it’s direct and promises an answer from within myself, an answer that I am more likely to understand and hear. So often believers are taught to ask God what to do next. But in this short appeal, we acknowledge that all direction comes from God and will manifest in me.
If God directs my heart, I will know what to do. I will recognize the way.
Meditations from Zion 
This post is a direct answer to my just uttered prayer. God is good!
Amen.
How utterly succinct and true, Irm. Knowing and loving the Lord brings this chorus to mind from Graham Kendrick’s song-
Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You
There is no greater thing.
You’re my all, You’re the best,
You’re my joy, my righteousness,
And I love You Lord.
