March 22 Devotion - When I feel sad console me Lord

Rejoicing in the belief of eternal life, and full faith in the resurrection I join in a heavenly procession for my beloved brother Dr. Magdi Henein who passed over from this life on March 19, 2021 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA, to the mansion that Jesus has prepared for him in His Father’s house.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

O LORD, be gracious to us; we long for you.

Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress.

يَارَبُّ ارْحَمْنَا. إِيَّاكَ انْتَظَرْنَا، كُنْ عَضُدَنَا فِي الصَّبَاحِ، وَخَلاَصَنَا فِي أَثْنَاءِ الْمِحْنَةِ.

Isaiah 33:2

 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.”

"لاَ تَضْطَرِبْ قُلُوبُكُمْ. أَنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللهِ، فَآمِنُوا بِي أَيْضاً".

John 14:1

 

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand and Your right hand will save me.

My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.

وَلَوْ سَلَكْتُ فِي وَسَطِ الضِّيقِ فَإِنَّكَ تُحْيِينِي وَيَمِينُكَ تُخَلِّصُنِي.

وَعْدُكَ يُنْعِشُنِي إِذْ هُوَ تَعْزِيَتِي فِي ضِيقِي.

عِنْدَ كَثْرَةِ هُمُومِي فِي دَاخِلِي تَبْتَهِجُ نَفْسِي بِتَعْزِيَاتِكَ.

 

Psalm 138:7, Psalm 119:50, Psalm 94:19

 

Comfort me Lord through The Holy Spirit and Your words….

The Lord is near to you because you have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:17-20 “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9   All things will work together for good for you because you love God, Romans 8:28  Make sure to rejoice always, pray without ceasing,  in everything give thanks 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, console me O’Lord and let not my heart be troubled. Let my trust in You overcome any burden. I depend on Your right hand to save me and Your promises to comfort me in my confusion, sadness, and suffering. I long to feel your consolation and joy and I confidently await your mercies. Father God, I thank you for knowing every emotion I go through and for having an answer and support for me today. Strengthen me Lord to be of good courage. Thank You Lord that during my period of weakness Your strength is made perfect. Help me Lord to pray continuously. I rejoice in the assurance that You are with me God wherever I am, that all things will work together for good for me, and that I will rejoice because Your peace God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus; in whose mighty holy name I pray. To Jesus be the power, the majesty, the glory, and the authority forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,

Wagdi Henein
