Isaiah 54 ~ Praying Scripture


Please read Isaiah 54.
Meditate on verse 8.

“In an outburst of anger
 I hid My face from you for a moment,
But with everlasting lovingkindness
I will have compassion on you,”
Says the LORD your Redeemer.

God tells you about two of His amazing attributes in Isaiah 54:8.  His lovingkindness is His attitude toward you which contains mercy.  The LORD’s lovingkindness leads you to repentance.   His compassion means to fondle, soothe, cherish, and love deeply like a parent loves a child. 

You may feel afflicted, storm-tossed, and not comforted today (Isaiah 54:11).  Let the promises of the LORD in Isaiah 54 encourage you.  The LORD Who has compassion on you says, “My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, and my covenant of peace will not be shaken.”

Pray Isaiah 54:13-14 over your family today.

“LORD, thank You that You will teach my sons
and their well-being will be great.
Establish us in righteousness
and keep us far from oppression. 
Do not let us fear
 and do not let terror come near us.
In Your Name, Jesus.”
