Empty and full
You open your hand to feed them, and they are richly satisfied (Psalm 104:28; NLT).
“For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you” (Isaiah 55:12; NKJV).
He [Peter] said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep” (John 21:17; NLT).
He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us
(2 Corinthians 1:4; NLT).
Father,
When I’m empty,
You open your hand
To feed me.
When I pray,
You fill me
With peace.
When I go out,
You fill me
With joy.
And when I rest,
You fill me
With strength.
Lord,
When others are empty,
Please help me to feed them,
Just as you feed me.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
