Goodbye APRIL

Dear God,

As we bid farewell to the month of April 2023, we thank you for the blessings you have bestowed upon us throughout this month. We are grateful for the many opportunities for growth, the moments of joy and happiness, and the challenges that have helped us to become stronger and more resilient.

We pray that you continue to guide us as we move forward into the future. May your light shine upon us and lead us towards a path of righteousness and fulfillment. May we continue to grow in our faith and our relationship with you.

As we say goodbye to April 30, 2023, we pray that you bless us with good health, prosperity, and success in all our endeavors. May we continue to be a beacon of hope and love to those around us, spreading your message of kindness and compassion to all we encounter.

We ask that you bless us, our families, our friends, and all those we hold dear, and that you continue to watch over us as we move forward into a new month. May your love and grace be with us always, and may we continue to strive towards becoming the best versions of ourselves.

We pray all of this in your holy name, Amen.

And the Lord said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I swear unto their fathers to give unto them. And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul. – Deuteronomy 10:11-12.

“The land which you go to possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come…[but] a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water from the rain of heaven, a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year.”

The future was uncertain. The Israelites were preparing to enter the Promised Land, and they still remembered the warnings of the 10 spies— how the land was filled with giants and obstacles that seemed impossible to overcome. The very thought of these giants caused them to react with fear and doubt.

Yet Moses wanted them to focus not on the giants, but on the promises of God. He knew they needed to remember all the Lord had done for them, in Egypt and in the wilderness. He encouraged them to realize that God’s eyes were specifically on the Promised Land, from the first of the year until the last.

The Lord would be with them when they set foot in the land and would stay with them every step of the way. Because of His presence, they could move forward with confidence, trusting Him in everything.

This promise applies in our lives as well. Just like the Israelites, we can know that God is with us every moment of our lives—through trials and tribulations, in good weather and bad, when we face opposition and experience problems, when we feel secure, and when we face danger.

As you end another month, take this opportunity to look back and see how God has been with you. He was with you at the beginning, and He is with you today. And He will be with you in the new month. You can trust Him, for His eyes are on you!

Prayer : Father, I commit this coming month into Your hands. I know that You always will be with me. Thank You that Your eyes are on me wherever I go. Lord, Please put an end to the Coronavirus. Lord, I pray that in April our lives will be back to normal and the fear of Coronavirus will be far behind us. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, In Jesus Loving Name I Pray, Amen.
