Trusting and resting on the promises of God

Dear Jesus,

     We thank You for the promises that You have given us who call upon Your name through You word.  We thank You for the instruction and even the correction we receive through Your word and the Holy Spirit also.
      Right now, as we prepare ourselves to lay down for the night, there are many of us who desperately need a reminder of the hope we have in You, Lord.  You know the situations and the individuals that are on our hearts as we pray this prayer to You.  You have taught us through Your word that if we trust You, we will have a peace that passes understanding.  You have taught us that if we place our trust in You,  we will find rest.  And when we hold on to You, sticking close to Your side, You will lead and carry us through the troubles we face.  We are trusting You with our lives, Jesus.  We are pouring our hearts out before You.  We have no where else to go!  There's no one else that can offer hope like You!  Jesus, where else could we go, for You alone have the Words of life!  You are the truth!  You are the life.  And You are the way.  We are trusting You, Lord.  We are counting on You to carry us through!  We are resting on Your words and promises.  We need to see You move in our situations soon!  With each passing moment our faith is being tested.  With each passing moment we feel that we are being worn down.  We ask You to strengthen our resolve and encourage us in our walk.  Please give us an unfailing faith.  As You prayed for Simon, that his faith fail not, we ask You to grant us that unfailing faith!  Help us feel Your peace through these storms of life. Help us find rest in You as we lay upon our beds.  Calm our fears and anxieties, Lord Jesus.  We love You, Lord Jesus.  We love You.

Amen
