God, thank you for John. I ask that right now, and at least once every day, remind me that You are very close to him and that You are forever faithful in every circumstance.
Lord, help John know this promise belongs to him. “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalm 16
Thank you, loving Father, for seeing John where he is and knowing exactly what he needs. If he feels unseen or uncared for, I pray you would speak to his heart in new ways. May John seek you and find you waiting for him.
“Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.” Jeremiah 29:12-14
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. ... James 1
