heart month week 4 Devotional
“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.” - Psalm 51:17
Let’s consider our broken and helpless state together. Are we tired and weary? Have we dealt with anxiety, worry, anguish, discouragement and distress? Let’s remember that we are like grass and our glory is like the flower of the grass. The grass withers and its flower falls away, but the Word of God endures forever (Isaiah 40:8). If it was not for the Lord who is on our side, the enemy of our faith and peace would have overthrown us and ripped away the hope within us. Let’s remember that our help is in the name of the Lord (Psalm 124:8) and bring before Him the sacrifices He delights in, which are our heartfelt prayers stirred by the brokenness of our hearts. Our broken hearts before Him will dismantle every obstacle hindering our communion with the Savior, and by His mercy He will move us to a place of healing, rest, comfort and restoration. As we lift up the sacrifices of our hearts to God this month, through prayer and supplication, we release the sweet aroma of our intercession in the atmosphere and receive peace, prosperity and abundance of joy in the precious name of the Lord!
