every aspect

Holy, Blessed Father God,

There's a wedding today. Two young people starting their life together as husband and wife. How I ask that You would bless them. And keep them. Smile on them and gift them. Look them full in the face and make them prosper (Numbers 6:24-26).

Father, You know perfectly well the dynamics involved today. Every glitch. All the things that could possibly go wrong. Or right! Father, how I ask You to be intimately involved in every single aspect of this bride and groom's very special day.

Father God, You know their needs. And their strengths. You have a plan like none other. And again I ask Your blessings and protection be upon them. Every detail. Every aspect. Let them know and consent to Your desire of being intimately involved in their union.

The thought just came to me Blessed Father, in this Eastertide [prior to Pentecost] what would it be like to be gathered together with a large group of people and have Your Spirit come upon us like tongues of fire (Acts 2:3)?

The Life Recovery Bible comments on this section (vs. 1-4) that “the disciples obeyed Jesus and waited in Jerusalem. Suddenly the Holy Spirit manifested His presence by sound (wind), sight (fire), and speech (new languages). The believers were filled with the Holy Spirit, and God's renewing power began its work of transforming them from the inside out. This marked a new era in history as God's powerful presence entered the hearts of all believers. God's powerful presence can still indwell us, transforming our life and healing our wounds. As we trust God, His Spirit empowers us in recovery.”

Mm, Father. “Truly, O God of Israel, our Savior, You work in mysterious ways” (Isaiah 45:15 New Living Translation). “Clearly, You are a God who works behind the scenes, God of Israel, Savior God” (The Message).

How I love You, Father. How I trust and thank You. How I ask Your presence in every aspect of this day. I love You. Show Yourself this day I pray. Thank You. I love You. Amen.
