Prayerful Thoughts from Rusty Stephens
Heavenly Father,
For the prayer within, we pray in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
When we were very young many of us became familiar with children’s books and fairy tales. Many of which started out wonderfully, but then a threat or problem arose. Eventually the bad situation was resolved and the wonderful times returned. A large number of the stories would end with, “and they all lived happily ever after.” The “happily ever after” was only until the next book or that same book was read again bringing back difficult times.
Isn’t life that way? We are moving along in life with things going well and then something happens bringing about difficulties. There’s many that can happen but may include money shortages, loss of hours or even the whole job, sickness in the family or friends, losing a dear loved one or friend, or perhaps a combination of problems. Jesus, as these difficulties close in on us, we really need your help so much.
God, you originally created a place on earth that was meant to be wonderful and “happily ever after.” But temptation entered in from the devil; then though Adam and Eve’s eating the forbidden fruit from that single “off limits tree” in the garden, the “happily ever after” disappears and difficulties emerge. Ever since then the wonderful times have not been consistent; however you, Lord, have not abandoned your followers and are there for us in all times and situations. God, we thank you so much for not leaving or forsaking us, but instead loving and staying with us.
Heavenly Father, it seems as we go through life that the “happily ever after” times will never come. You told us in scripture that it would not come in this life because of our sins and the sins of the world. Lord, can we ever get to that point?
God, you told us absolutely yes and showed us how. Because of your amazing love you blessed us so richly by sending your one and only son, Jesus Christ, who would live a life without sin, thus becoming the one and only sacrifice that would remove all of the sins from believers in Him. You, Jesus, in your incredible love for all of us, gave up your perfect life in a very torturous and painful death on the cross. Then you defeated the devil and death by rising from the grave and opening the only way to Heaven when you ascended to join your Father in Heaven.
Heavenly Father, for all of us who accept and believe in Jesus as our Savior, then being truly sorry for all of our sins and confessing those to Jesus, along with asking Him for us to be forgiven, guaranteed, we will receive total forgiveness which clears away every sin that we have ever committed in our lives. When our lives on earth come to an end, you Jesus, will take us to our heavenly home. There we will be in the presence of our Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, along with all believers including our faithful loved ones. As you promised, Lord, this will be a grand place totally free from the devil and any and all sins, with magnificent beauty filled with all of the love, joy, happiness, and wonderfulness that we could ever receive.
Thank you very much, Jesus, for what you went through and did for us, so that we could be blessed with all of this. Now finally we can say, “and we will all live happily ever after,” FOREVER!
Lord In Your Mercy
Hear Our Prayer
Amen.
