A Daily Prayer for my Children

Tonight, your hearts be at peace.
For tomorrow
He will arise from the right hand of God
and appear riding on the clouds of heaven
in all His power and glory.

“For as the lightning comes from the east
and shines as far as the west,
so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” *

And if He tarries –
yet then another day passes,
proclaim and be glad in your hearts that
this day is gone and you are but
one day closer to being with Him.

So remove fear from your hearts:
For even as those in Christ now at rest
await that miraculous day,
you too, wait,
wait on the LORD…

He is faithful to His word:

Look up, rejoice, and comfort your hearts.
Be at peace without fear –
For our redemption is near…


::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
*Matthew 24:27  

For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
Therefore encourage one another with these words.
~ 1 Thessalonians 4:16 thru 4:18
Quotes from The English Standard Version Bible

And you encourage your children and us very beautifully, dear JL!

The invitation to let go of fear and to be at peace is a precious accompaniment on the Path of every soul.

The awareness of being loved and safe in Him makes life's challenges so much easier.

Beautiful!

Love,
Margherita

I am grateful this prayer touched your heart.

With great humility I thank you.
