Jesus, You are over all, in all and through all. You know the depths of our existence and the heights of our obedience. We come to thank You for Your severity against those who scorn us, and for Your goodness toward us in our obedience. To those who turn away from us even though we speak good on their behalf, give to them to honor them, remind them that we await their return as did the prodigal father. Cover them with Your love to captivate their hearts and souls. Move in their lives and grant them Your peace and assurance, healing and restoration. Lord, act on their behalf for their good and for Your glory in Your name and authority, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“Shall evil be repaid for good? For they have dug a pit for my life. Remember that I stood before You To speak good for them, To turn away Your wrath from them.” (Jeremiah 18: 20 NKJV)
