Inaugural Lanka Impact Investment Summit 2026 kicks off

 Inaugural Lanka Impact Investment Summit 2026 kicks off

Wednesday, 11 February 2026 

 


In Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is seeking to position itself as a convening platform for impact investing in South Asia as more than 200 delegates from home and abroad gathered in Colombo yesterday for the inaugural Lanka Impact Investment Summit 2026 (LIIS), against the backdrop of persistent structural financing gaps in the domestic economy.


The two-day summit, organised by the Lanka Impact Investing Network (LIIN) and Global Steering Group for Impact Investment Sri Lanka, brings together investors, policymakers, development partners and entrepreneurs to examine how private capital aligned with social and environmental outcomes could support Sri Lanka’s recovery and longer-term growth, particularly through small and medium-sized enterprises and climate-aligned businesses.


Global Steering Group for Impact Investment Sri Lanka Chair Chandula Abeywickrema said the summit reflected nearly a decade of efforts to build an impact investing ecosystem capable of moving beyond traditional, collateral-driven bank finance. He said Sri Lanka’s core challenge was not the absence of entrepreneurs, but the difficulty of transforming them into commercially viable and scalable enterprises.


“What the country needs is entrepreneur transformation,” Abeywickrema said, arguing that enterprises unable to achieve viability and scale would not deliver durable economic change. He said impact investing offered access to private-equity-style capital for SMEs that remained underserved by conventional finance.


The summit takes place as data from LIIN highlights the scale of Sri Lanka’s financing constraints despite strong global growth in impact capital. The study estimates Sri Lanka’s annual investment demand at $ 7–10 billion to meet sustainable development goals, including $ 3–5 billion for infrastructure and $ 2–3 billion for climate finance, while access to capital remains constrained by high borrowing costs, policy fragmentation and limited non-bank financing channels.


SMEs, which contribute about 52% to GDP and employ nearly half the workforce, have declined from around 1.3 million in 2018 to roughly 1.04 million in 2024 following the economic crisis. Bank lending remains the dominant source of finance, but interest rates ranging from 10% to 27% and collateral requirements often exceeding loan values have sharply limited credit access.


Addressing the summit, Canadian High Commission Counsellor for Political and Trade Gwen Temmel framed impact investing as a market-based response to rising global uncertainty. She said global impact investment assets had reached about $ 1.5 trillion in 2024, but emerging markets accounted for only around 6% of total flows, while South Asia attracted roughly $ 20 billion despite contributing 45% of global GDP.


“Impact investment is not charity and not traditional investment,” Temmel said, describing it as an approach aimed at strengthening markets by delivering social and environmental outcomes alongside financial returns. 


She highlighted Sri Lanka’s low female labour force participation and limited formalisation of women-led enterprises as structural constraints, arguing that gender-lens investing could expand the investable pipeline and reduce long-term risk.


LIIN estimates that women-led enterprises face a funding shortfall of nearly $ 700 million, even after recent legislative reforms, while only around 700 to 1,000 SMEs are considered investment-ready due to weaknesses in governance, financial reporting and record-keeping.


Global Steering Group for Impact Investment Director – Regional Coordination Raffaella De Felice said Sri Lanka illustrated how locally driven impact ecosystems could generate solutions tailored to domestic needs while linking into regional and global capital networks. She noted that national partners played a critical role in convening investors, policymakers and enterprises to establish a common framework for impact measurement and capital deployment.


Institutional constraints, however, continue to limit scale. ESG-linked portfolios account for less than 2% of commercial bank lending, while pension and insurance funds remain restricted from investing in impact assets. The absence of a national impact investment policy, tax incentives or a clear definition of impact enterprises has contributed to fragmentation across the ecosystem.


Against this backdrop, LIIN plans to launch Sri Lanka’s first Impact Enterprise Fund in partnership with United Nations Development Program, targeting the “missing middle” of SMEs underserved by traditional finance. 


The $ 5 million fund will deploy capital through convertible notes ranging between $ 50,000 and $ 100,000, supported by a first-loss guarantee covering up to 20% of potential defaults, with early investments expected by mid-2026.


The summit concludes today (11 February) with the adoption of a Declaration outlining a shared vision to mobilise capital for inclusive and sustainable development, strengthen cross-border collaboration and lay the groundwork for longer-term mechanisms, including a proposed South Asia Impact Fund.

Today is not ordinary—today is marked by God’s presence, purpose, and miraculous grace.

 Lord, I Declare Miracles Today 🧧 🧧 🧧

.As we pray, we align our hearts with heaven and declare breakthrough, healing, and divine favor over every area of our life. This morning prayer is designed to strengthen your faith, quiet fear, and remind you that God is working even before you see results. 

When you start the day declaring truth instead of worry, peace replaces anxiety and hope rises within your spirit. 

Pray this every morning before work, school, or daily responsibilities. Let these words cover your family, your plans, and your future.


 Before we go any further, let me remind you, you didn't wake up by accident. 

You're still here because God is not finished. You're still breathing because purpose is still unfolding. And that means today isn't just another Monday, just another Tuesday , just another Wednesday, just another Thursday, just another Friday or just another day. It is a divine appointment. 

You may not feel strong right now. You may not feel ready. But it's not about how you feel. It's about what heaven has already written. And if you could see what God is orchestrating behind the scenes, you would know this morning is holy ground. The enemy fought hard last night. He tried to suffocate your hope in your sleep. He tried to whisper lies about your worth, about your future, about your progress. 

But the enemy lost because here you are awake seeking God first. And that choice right there, that single act of faith is already breaking chains. It's already pushing back darkness. 

It's already pulling your life back into divine alignment.

This is the soil where miracles begin to grow. And before we read the Word of God today, let us first ask the Holy Spirit to guide us because we are not here to simply gather information. 

We are here to receive divine revelation. 

This is not just reading. This is encountering. 

 This is not just learning. This is aligning with heaven. 

So take a deep breath and pray this with me. 

Holy Spirit, you are welcome in this moment, in my heart, my mind, my whole being. 

Come and breathe on your Word. Teach us what our eyes cannot see. Break the crust of routine and soften the soil of our hearts. Help us to understand your truth, not just with our minds, but with our spirits. Let your light shine on these scriptures so that they come alive inside of us. Lead us into all truth, into all faith, and into all victory. In Jesus Christ', name, we ask, believe and received, amen. 

Now, let's receive the word. Hebrews 13:8 says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." 

That is not poetic fluff; an entertainment or writing perceived as trivial or superficial. That is covenant truth. It means God is not unstable. He does not need a mood swing to move. He does not react to the economy. He does not check culture before keeping His promises. He is consistent, unchanging, immovable. He is the same God who parted the Red Sea, and He can part what is blocking your next step. He is the same God who made manna fall in the wilderness and He can provide when your back is against the wall. He is the same Jesus Christ who healed lepers with a word, who opened blind eyes with a touch, who calmed the storm with His voice, and He has not changed. 

If he was a miracle worker then, he is a miracle worker now. And if you dare to believe that, then the impossible does not scare you anymore. It starts to submit. It starts to shift because Jesus Christ is not just the God of the past.

He is the only One real God of right now. 

But you say, "Okay, I know God doesn't change, but what about me? What about my situation?" 

That's where Mark 9:23 steps in. It says, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." 

 Did you hear that? All things. Not some things. not religious things, not easy things. 

All things are possible to those who believe. 

That is the condition. Not if you earn it, not if you're perfect. 

Not if you feel worthy, but if you believe. 

So, let me ask you, have you let disappointment lower your faith ceiling? 

Have you stopped expecting God to do what only God can do? 

Because the truth is, many people are waiting on God. But deep down, they've stopped believing. 

They're walking through life as if nothing new will ever happen. 

But today,  I'm challenging you. 

Raise your faith back up. 

Dust off your declarations. 

Wake up your hope. 

Put your expectation back on the table. 

Do not pray like a beggar. Speak like a child of God who knows that heaven is listening. Listen. 

Faith is not a feeling. 

Faith is a spiritual position. 

Faith is what you decide to believe even when you do not feel it, see it, or understand it. 

Faith is when you declare peace while the storm is still raging. 

Faith is when you speak healing while the symptoms still hurt. 

Faith is when you sow generosity even when the bills are due. 

Faith is when you lift your hands in worship even when your heart is breaking. 

That kind of faith, raw, honest, unshaken by circumstances. 

That is the faith that moves heaven. 

 That is the faith that makes the devil nervous. 

And that is the faith God is looking for this morning. Not perfection, but position, not performance, but belief. 

Because when you believe AlmightyGod, you give Him room to be who He really Is in your Life.

 Let me say something strong. And I say it with love. Your miracle is waiting on your mouth. Not your mood, not your timeline, but your mouth. The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

You have to declare it before you see it. 

You have to prophesy it while it still looks dead. That's how resurrection works. 

Jesus  Christ did not wait for Lazarus to rise. Jesus Christ called him out of the grave and the grave had no choice but to obey. 

You're waiting for your situation to change before you speak life over it. But maybe God is waiting for you to speak life so he can change it. 

So declare it now. 

Speak healing over your body. 

Speak clarity over your mind. 

Speak abundance over your finances. 

Speak restoration over your family. 

Speak peace over your home. 

Do not wait for signs. 

Let your faith be the signal. 

And here's the good news. Miracles are not just possible. They're promised. 

God has bound Himself to His Word. 

And his Word says that he is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or imagine. 

That means if you can dream it, God can exceed it. 

If you can believe it, God can release it. 

But don't let fear choke your expectation. 

Don't let delay convince you it won't happen. 

Some miracles take time because God is preparing the container. 

You think God's ignoring you, but He's actually enlarging you because what's coming is bigger than what you thought. 

And your current discomfort is not rejection, it is preparation.

So instead of asking "why me," ask God, "what are you building in me?" 

Because when you're standing in the place God has prepared and the miracle finally manifests, you'll know it wasn't luck. It was alignment. It was faith. It was divine timing. 

So today, say it with boldness. I declare miracles today. 

Say it with tears if you have to. Say it while shaking. 

Say it while healing. But say it, because the atmosphere is voice activated. 

Your life is voice-shaped. 

And your future is voice protected. 

Speak what God has said, not what your fear says. 

Speak what heaven has promised, not what your history predicts. 

And don't just hope for miracles. Expect them. Prepare for them. Rejoice before they arrive. 

Because faith does not wait to celebrate. 

Faith throws a party before the door opens. And that's what this morning is.

A celebration in advance, a declaration in faith, a bold announcement to every demon, every doubt, and every delay. 

I believe. I still believe. And because I believe, miracles are coming. 

Thank you, Lord, for the gift of this morning. Thank you for breath in my lungs and purpose in my steps. 

Thank you that l am not a random existence but a divine creation. 

I do not take it lightly that l am alive today. Not everyone who went to sleep last night opened their eyes this morning. But you, LORD GOD, saw it fit to awaken me again, to clothe me with mercy, to crown me with loving kindness, and to whisper over me. "Rise, my child, for there is more. "

I received this day as a holy invitation. 

I received this sunrise as a symbol of your faithfulness. I reject the lie that today is just another day. 

No, this is a day you have made and I will rejoice in it. You have given me breath and I will use it to praise you. You have given me strength and I will use it to serve you. 

 You have given me time and I will use it for good. Let me not waste this gift, Lord. 

Let me walk in awareness of the miracle that is today. 

Because even before l do anything, the fact that I am still here means you're not finished yet. And I thank you for that. 

Father, I stand boldly and declare today is not an ordinary day. This is a day of miracles. I don't declare it because I feel it. I declare it because I believe it. 

I declare it because your Word says all things are possible to him who believes. It is written in Mark 9:23.

So by faith I partner with heaven and I speak miracles into motion. 

I declare open doors that no man can shut. 

declare divine reversals. 

I declare sudden solutions and unexpected blessings. 

Let this be the day where everything begins to shift. Let this be the moment when what l've prayed for begins to manifest. 

I declare that I will not just get through the day. I will be surprised by it. Surprised by your mercy. Surprised by your timing. Surprised by divine appointments I did not see coming. 

I declare that miracles will meet me in my coming and going. That grace will surround me like a shield. 

And that every hour will be touched by your hand. 

This day is not ruled by chaos, delay, or fear. This day is ruled by your promise, and I declare it boldly. 

This is a day of miracles, Lord. 

Even when I do not see it, I trust your working. 

Even when the surface looks silent, I know heaven is active. 

Even when I feel forgotten, you are forming something for my good. 

Teach me to walk by faith, not by sight. Teach me to trust not what I see, but what you've said. 

Lord, You are not a man that you should lie. 

You are the God of perfect timing and divine orchestration.

 So I release my need to control the outcomes. 

I release my urge to panic. 

I release the timeline I built in my own strength because I know that while l am resting, you are arranging.

While l am worshiping, you are weaving the threads of breakthrough. 

While l am walking by faith, you are preparing the next door for me. 

Lord, You are the God who hides miracles in mundane moments. 

You are the God who turns silence into strategy. 

And today I choose to believe that you are doing more than I can ask, think, or imagine. Behind the scenes, beyond the noise, above the resistance. 

In the name of Jesus Christ, I come out of agreement with every spirit of delay. 

I break partnership with discouragement. 

I cast down the lie of defeat. 

I declare that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. 

 I renounce the mindset that says it will never happen. 

I rebuke every whisper of the enemy that tells me I'm running out of time, I've missed my moment, or l'm not enough. 

 I stand in the authority of  Jesus Christ and speak acceleration over every area of my life. 

I declare open roads where there were once obstacles. 

I declare peace where anxiety used to live. 

I declare strength where weakness used to reign. 

I break the patterns of self-sabotage and fear. 

I reject the story that says l am behind. 

I am not behind. I am in divine alignment. 

I am not stuck. l am being set up for divine fulfilments. 

I will no longer rehearse my failures. I will prophesy my future. 

I will no longer repeat the pain. I will release the praise. 

I declare that every chain of delay is shattered. 

Every heavy cloud of defeat is lifted. And every voice of discouragement is silenced by the voice of the Lord. 

Heavenly Father, let your divine favour surround me like a shield. 

Let favor go before me, walk beside me, and follow behind me. 

I ask boldly. 

Let favour locate me in rooms I have not entered yet. 

Let favour speak my name in spaces where l am not yet known. 

Let favor unlock opportunities that were once closed. favor with people, favour in decisions, favour in timing, favour in places where l've been overlooked. 

Let the oil of your anointing cause me to stand out, not because of ego, but because of purpose. 

Let divine connections come easily. 

Let God's kingdom resources flow supernaturally. 

Let those who once ignored me now be moved to bless me, not by manipulation, but by your Spirit. 

I believe that your favour is not earned, it is received. 

And I receive it now. 

Let the fragrance of your goodness rest on me today. 

Let the echo of your favour open every heart, open every hand, open every door that is meant for me. 

And even when I walk into rooms where others doubt me, let your favour be my introduction. 

God of redemption, I bring before you every door that has been closed, every 'no' that felt like a failure, every moment I was turned away or turned down. 

And I ask, redeem it. 

Transform it. Use it. 

Let every closed door become a setup for something greater. 

Let every rejection become a redirection into something higher. 

I thank you, LORD , that no door closes without your permission and no door opens unless you say so. 

So l choose to trust that the doors that did not open were part of the  divine plan. 

release bitterness, offense, and self-doubt. 

I surrender the timeline of breakthrough. 

And I ask you, Lord, turn every delay into a testimony. 

Turn every disappointment into a doorway. 

Turn every dead end into a divine detour. 

I declare that what seemed like loss will become gain. 

That what looked like the end was only a beginning in disguise. 

And what was shut by man will be opened by your hand.

 Let my story continue carry the fragrance of breakthrough. 

Lord, I come to you now with every part of me, body, mind, and spirit. 

I lay down the tension in my muscles. 

I lay down the worry in my chest. 

I lay down the questions in my mind and I ask you to heal me fully, completely from the inside out. 

Your Word says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." ~ Hebrews 13:8.

And the same resurrected, gloried Jesus Christ who healed then still heals now. 

receive healing not as a maybe, but as a promise. 

I speak life into my bloodstream, oxygen into my lungs, peace into my nervous system. 

I speak clarity into my thoughts, rest into my emotions, stillness into my spirit. 

Where there is imbalance, bring alignment. 

Where there is disease, bring divine ease. 

Where there is fatigue, breathe supernatural energy. 

I speak against every diagnosis, every label, every inherited belief that says I must live in pain. 

I choose the report of the Lord. I choose wholeness. 

I choose vitality. I choose peace. 

This temple, my body, is sacred, and I claim it for the purposes of the King Jesus Christ. 

Let healing rise like the morning sun. 

Let the oil of the Spirit run through every cell. 

Let the resurrection power of  Jesus Christ bring restoration to every broken place. 

Because if I'm still breathing, healing is still possible. 

And today I receive it boldly, completely with faith that moves mountains.

Father, thank you for being Jehovah Jireh, my faithful provider. 

Today I come not with anxiety but with anticipation, trusting that you already know what I need before l even ask. 

Father, Your word says in Philippians 4:19,  "And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." 

So l open my hands not in panic but in praise. 

I ask for supernatural provision, not just enough to survive, but more than enough to bless others. 

Let there be open heaven supply over my home, over my finances, over my business, and over my destiny. 

Bring the right people, the right doors, the right timing. 

Let resources I did not even expect find their way to me. 

Remove every blockage in the spiritual realm that is holding back the flow of provision. 

I rebuke every spirit of financial drought and declare that this is a season of fresh rain. 

May clients call unexpectedly. 

May contracts be released. 

May divine favour go ahead of me into boardrooms I have not even entered yet. 

I declare new strategies, clear wisdom, and a heavenly download of insight to steward what's coming. 

Let me manage the small well so you may trust me with much. 

Thank you, God, that lack is not my identity. Abundance is. 

Let every fear of not enough be washed away by the river of your supply. 

 I choose to be generous even while I wait because I know you are good. I may not know how, but I know who. 

And that's enough for today. 

Lord, you see the cracks in my faith. 

You know where the battles have left me weary. 

But I am still here. And if I am still here, it means you still have a purpose for me. 

So l ask today, breathe on the ashes of my hope. 

Fan into flame the places that have gone cold. 

I do not need to feel strong. I just need to be willing. 

You said in Matthew 17:20, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, nothing will be impossible. "

So I give you my mustard seed today. Use it, multiply it, grow it. 

Forgive me for the moments I doubted you. 

Heal the places where disappointment made me silent, where I stopped praying. 

Lord teach me to pray again. 

Where I stopped dreaming, help me dream again. 

Where I let logic replace faith. Remind me that you are the God who parts, sees, and raises the dead. 

Rebuild my trust in your character, not in my circumstances. 

I won't pretend I'm not tired, but I'm willing to try again. 

I'm willing to speak again. 

I'm willing to believe again. 

And sometimes that's the greatest act of faith. Not the shout, but the whisper that says, "God, I still believe you can. Even if it takes time, even if it looks different, even if I don't understand it." 

Today, I declare my faith is being rebuilt. 

My heart is healing. 

 My spirit is rising. 

Lord, You are not finished with me. 

So I won't give up. 

Father, let my life be your channel, not just a container. 

I do not want to just receive blessings. I want to release them.

Use me to be the answer to someone's whispered prayer today. 

 Let me be the voice that speaks life into their situation. 

Let me be the hand that gives when no one else sees. 

If someone is lonely, let me show them love. 

If someone is discouraged, let me be the reminder that you, God, haven't forgotten them. 

I do not want to be so focused on my needs that I miss the assignment you've placed in front of me. 

The miracle someone else is praying for might just be hidden in the kindness I'm willing to give. 

So God, open my eyes. 

Slow me down enough to notice the person sitting in the corner who feels invisible. 

Give me courage to say the Word. Send the text. Give the gift. Pray the prayer.

 You said in Luke 6:38. Give and it will be given to you. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 

 I believe that the flow of miracles begins when we become vessels. 

So today I say yes. 

Yes, Lord, use me. 

Yes, Lord, send me. 

Yes, Lord, pour through me. 

I may not feel worthy, but I'm available. 

And I know that is all you're asking for.

Father God, teach me how to celebrate others while l am still waiting. I confess sometimes it's hard. Sometimes the enemy whispers, "What about you?" when I see others being blessed. But I do not want to live in comparison. 

I want to live in confidence of Lord Jesus Christ. 

Their testimony is not my threat. It is my reminder. 

 If you did it for them, you can do it for me. 

And if you haven't yet, it's because you're preparing something even more personal, more precise, more perfectly timed for my life. 

Help me resist the trap of jealousy. 

Jealousy says, "God skipped me." But faith says, "God's still working on me." 

So when I hear someone share their breakthrough, I will rejoice with them. 

When I see someone walk into a miracle, I will clap with tears in my eyes and say, "Hallelujah!" 

Because that is who I want to be. 

A person who cheers, not competes. 

A person who blesses, not compares. 

Let testimonies activate hope in me. 

Let them be evidence that the heavens are open, that God's angels are moving, that you are near. 

So today I say, thank you God for their miracle and thank you in advance for mine. 

My story is still being written and it will be good.

 Lord, I choose to expect goodness today. Not because of what I see, but because of who you are. 

I reject the mindset of dread. 

I will not live in fear of the next problem. 

I will not brace myself for disappointment. 

I will wake up and say what David said in Psalm 27:13.  I remain confident of this. I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 

I do not just believe in heaven. For I believe in heaven touching earth today, in my home, in my conversations, in my email inbox, in my family's hearts, in the parking lot, in the meeting room, in the unexpected places. 

Something good is already scheduled in heaven for me. 

I declare my day is not random. It is divinely ordered. 

I do not know what hour the good news will arrive, but I believe it will. 

I do not know who you'll use, but I believe you will. 

Even if the world around me feels chaotic, I believe peace is my portion. 

Even if yesterday was painful, today can be different.

 Today I believe, today I receive, today l expect something good, yes, very good will happen to me today because l am loved. I am chosen. l am not forgotten. 

And my God is still doing miracles. 

I thank God for all miracles in the name of Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.  


Respected reader, before you go, take a breath and let the silence be holy. This is not just the end of a message. This is the beginning of this day where your faith meets the supernatural. 

Right now, as you sit quietly, I want to invite you to do something powerful. Open your heart and let God speak. 

Not through noise, but through stillness. 

Let his whisper rise above the chaos. 

Let his peace settle deeper than the pressure. 

What if your miracle is already on its way and this moment is your invitation to trust Him one more time? 

I encourage you to declare, "I'm declaring miracles over my life today." 

Do it now,  engage your faith. 

This is a community of faith, a family of intercessors, a place where heaven meets earth. 

And if today's prayer moved you, write it down. Journal this question. "What is one miracle you're believing God for in this season? And what verse will you stand on as your anchor? Let your words become a witness. Let your faith be recorded because the day is coming when you'll look back and say, "This was the moment everything shifted." 

 

You never know, your faith might become the key that unlocks someone else's miracle. And if you're ready for more strength, more fire, and more hope, pray again, believe again, and received again in next morning. 

For now, be still. Let the anointing linger. Let faith rise. And remember what God started, he will finish in Jesus Christ's name.

约1:16“从他丰满的恩典里,我们都领受了,而且恩上加恩。”


1、上帝给予选民的应许


以色列人经过旷野40年的生活,即将进入迦南地,摩西向选民述说旷野中神的眷顾、引领、保护,重申神的诫命,告诉选民“你要爱耶和华—你的神,常守他的吩咐、律例、典章、诫命”(申11:1),就必蒙福。蒙什么福?从圣经我们知道,福就是选民在神应许他们流奶与蜜的地上得以长久。那地有山、有谷、雨水滋润,是耶和华所眷顾的。从岁首到年终,耶和华神的眼目时常看顾那地(申11:9-12);神还要按时降秋雨春雨在地上,使之可以收藏五谷、新酒和油,并且吃得饱足,田野为牲畜长草(申11:14-15);也要得强大者的地土,凡脚掌所踏之地都必归选民(申11:23-24)。对一个旷野漂流40年 的民族,神给他们的应许是何等样的激励和鼓舞,又是何等样的满足。由此我们知道,神赐的福不只是属灵的,也包括属世的。其实,人生就好像一次旅行,每一个 经历就是一个风景点,每个景点都会遇见不同的人和事,面对这些人和事,有天父的陪伴,就少了恐惧和艰辛,该是多么幸福的事情。


什 么是幸福?着名主持人杨澜在微博说,我们通常说信仰带给我们幸福。心理学家发现,通过信仰所产生的情感联系:渺小个体与更高存在之间的联系,同一信仰的成 员之间看到联系,才是幸福的来源。幸福是你软弱,神仍然爱你;你不足,神愿意帮助你;你惧怕,神安慰你;你忧伤,神擦去你的眼泪;你绝望,神赐下永恒盼 望;你懊悔,神就饶恕赦免;你疲惫,神加添力量。幸福不是你有多强大,而是在软弱中靠主变刚强;幸福不是你有多完美,而是通过你让神得荣耀,幸福不是你多 富有,而是明白这是天赋世界;幸福不是你的爱人多么漂亮,而是你爱人的笑容多灿烂;幸福不是越多越好,而是要恰到好处;幸福不是吃得好穿得好,而是有衣有 食就知足;幸福不是你成功时喝彩多热烈,而是失意时有个声音对你说:“孩子,加油!”幸福不是你听过多少甜言蜜语,而是你伤心落泪时天父对你说:“不要 怕,有我在!”


2、蒙神看顾的条件


上帝应许他的儿女,从岁首到年终的看顾,他的信实决定他从不改变他的应许,若是得此应许,人生就多了平坦,有劳动不会有劳苦;有工作就少有泪水,岁月不再沧桑,因为人生有神相伴,就是有爱相伴。


(1)听主话。听见神的话,存在心中,照着去行。诗1:2“惟喜爱耶和华的律法,昼夜思想,这人便为有福!”熟读神的话,反复思想,让神的话作我们生活的引导。圣经告诉我们,“人活着不是单靠食物,乃是靠神口里所出的一切话”(申8:3;太4:4)。神的话,是我们属灵生命的食物,更是我们成长的力量。


(2)守主命。有了主的话,不是为了让我们单单的知道,“凡遵守主道的,爱神的心在他里面实在是完全的。从此,我们知道我们是在主里面。人若说他住在主里面,就该自己照主所行的去行” (约翰一书2:5、6)。


(3)行主道。圣经上说,听了主的道,又去行的,这人便为有福,耶稣在登山宝训中告诉我们,“凡称呼我‘主啊,主啊’的人不能都进天国;惟独遵行我天父旨意的人才能进去”(太7:21)。接着在登山宝训的结尾又告诉我们,“所以,凡听见我这话就去行的,好比一个聪明人,把房子盖在磐石上;雨淋,水冲,风吹,撞着那房子,房子总不倒塌,因为根基立在磐石上”(太7:24-25)。


二、力上加力——给予信者盼望与力量(申11:13-15)


诗84:5-7、11-12“靠 你有力量、心中想往锡安大道的,这人便为有福!他们经过‘流泪谷’,叫这谷变为泉源之地;并有秋雨之福盖满了全谷。他们行走,力上加力,各人到锡安朝见 神。……因为耶和华—神是日头,是盾牌,要赐下恩惠和荣耀。他未尝留下一样好处不给那些行动正直的人。万军之耶和华啊,依靠你的人便为有福!”


1、什么是力上加力?


顾名思义就是在自己的力量上加上力量。神对人的祝福是,你的日子如何,你的力量也必如何(申33:25)!我的理解是在自己工作的力量上,上帝要帮助我们,给我们足够的力量胜任工作,胜过生活中的艰难。


力量在现代汉中的解释是:1、指力气,有份量。2、能力。3、作用;效力。力量可以预示着成功,力量能给予人坚强的意志,坚强意志对一个人的健康成长和事业成功起着关键作用;坚强意志是成功的保证。成功其实也容易,就是先养成成功的习惯。世界上最可怕的力量是习惯,世界上最宝贵的财富也是习惯。


2、如何得力量?


神的话是我们能力的来源,“因为,出于神的话,没有一句不带能力的”(路1:37),可惜,许多信徒虽然读了神的话,但神的话却不放在心上,生命没有改变,行不出神的话。诗46:1“神…… 是我们的力量,是我们在患难中随时的帮助。”新的一年,让我们来到神面前,每天从他支取足够的力量,让我们新的一年成为得胜的一年、蒙福的一年、荣耀主名 的一年。大卫在诗篇中告诉我们,神眷顾人,为人预备生活中的一切,并“以恩典为年岁的冠冕,你的路径都滴下脂油”(参诗65:11)。


三、荣上加荣——以恩典为年岁的冠冕(申11:21-25)


荣上加荣,就是不断增添荣耀的意思,荣上加荣来自神的灵。


林后3:16-18“但他们的心几时归向主,帕子就几时除去了。主就是那灵;主的灵在哪里,那里就得以自由。我们众人既然敞着脸得以看见主的荣光,好像从镜子里返照,就变成主的形状,荣上加荣,如同从主的灵变成的。”


1、仰望耶稣,与神面对面


只要知道仰望神的荣耀,仰望耶稣的脸,就能找到荣耀。


2、靠着主,生命不断长进


不断改变自己,更像主,就是荣上加荣。


孝子之有深爱者必有和气,有和气者必有愉色,有愉色者必有婉

容。也就是说,孝子如果是有深爱的,一定会有和气;有和气的,一定会面有愉悦之色;有愉悦之色的,一定有和顺的容貌。

A New Year Brings New Grace


Scripture: Deuteronomy 11:11-25;

Sermon: Pastor Hao Shuxia


The beginning and end of the year are busy times for everyone. Whether in organizations or individually, people are busy summarizing the past year's work and experiences, identifying shortcomings, and making plans for the new year to achieve greater success. Christians not only examine themselves before God daily, but also yearn for renewal and new growth in their lives at the turn of the year, hoping for new grace and blessings in the new year. God also promises His children that grace will be bestowed upon grace, strength upon strength, and glory upon glory in their lives.


 I. Grace Upon Grace—Care from the Beginning to the End of the Year (Deuteronomy 11:11-12)


John 1:16 “We have all received from the fullness of his grace, grace upon grace.”


1. God's Promises to His Chosen People


After 40 years in the wilderness, the Israelites were about to enter Canaan. Moses recounted God's care, guidance, and protection during their time in the wilderness, reiterated God's commandments, and told them, “You shall love the Lord your God and keep his commands, his statutes, his ordinances and his commandments” (Deuteronomy 11:1), and you will be blessed. What blessing? From the Bible, we know that the blessing is that the chosen people will live long in the land God promised them, a land flowing with milk and honey. That land has mountains and valleys, and is nourished by rain; it is a land the Lord cares for. From the beginning to the end of the year, the eyes of the Lord God continually visit that land (Deuteronomy 11:9-12); God will also send the autumn and spring rains on the land in their season, so that it may store up grain, new wine, and oil, and have enough to eat, and the fields may grow grass for the livestock (Deuteronomy 11:14-15); He will also possess the land of the mighty, and every place where the soles of his feet tread will belong to the chosen people (Deuteronomy 11:23-24). For a people who had wandered in the wilderness for 40 years, what encouragement and inspiration, what satisfaction, God's promises were! From this, we know that God's blessings are not only spiritual but also worldly. In fact, life is like a journey; each experience is a scenic spot, and at each spot we encounter different people and things. Facing these people and things, with the Father's companionship, fear and hardship are lessened—how fortunate that is!


What is happiness? Famous host Yang Lan said on Weibo, "We usually say that faith brings us happiness." Psychologists have discovered that the emotional connection formed through faith—the connection between the insignificant individual and a higher being, and the connection seen among members of the same faith—is the source of happiness. Happiness is when you are weak, yet God still loves you; when you are lacking, God is willing to help you; when you are afraid, God comforts you; when you are sorrowful, God wipes away your tears; when you are in despair, God gives you eternal hope; when you are remorseful, God forgives and pardons; when you are weary, God adds strength. Happiness is not about how strong you are, but about becoming strong through the Lord in weakness; happiness is not about how perfect you are, but about bringing glory to God through you; happiness is not about how rich you are, but about understanding that this is a gifted world; happiness is not about how beautiful your lover is, but how radiant their smile is; happiness is not about having more, but about having just the right amount; happiness is not about eating well and dressing well, but about being content with food and clothing; happiness is not about how enthusiastic the cheers are when you succeed, but about having a voice that says to you, "Child, keep going!" when you are down; happiness is not about how many sweet words you have heard, but about your Heavenly Father saying to you, "Don't be afraid, I am here!" when you are heartbroken and in tears.


2. Conditions for God's Care


God promises His children care from the beginning to the end of the year. His faithfulness determines that He never changes His promise. If you receive this promise, life will be smoother, labor will not be more arduous, work will bring less tears, and the years will no longer be turbulent, because life is accompanied by God, which is to say, by love.


(1) Listen to the Lord's words. Hear God's word, keep it in your heart, and do it. Psalm 1:2 "Blessed is the man whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on it day and night!" Study God's word thoroughly, meditate on it repeatedly, and let it guide your life. The Bible tells us, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God" (Deuteronomy 8:3; Matthew 4:4). God's word is the food of our spiritual life and the strength for our growth.


(2) Keep the Lord's commandments. Having the Lord's word is not merely about knowing that "in everyone who keeps the Lord's word, the love of God is truly made complete. By this we know that we are in the Lord. If anyone says he lives in the Lord, he must also do as the Lord has done" (1 John 2:5-6).


(3) Walk the Lord's path. The Bible says that blessed are those who hear the word of the Lord and put it into practice. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells us, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 7:21). Then, at the end of the Sermon on the Mount, he tells us, “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock” (Matthew 7:24-25).


 II. Adding Strength Upon Strength—Giving Hope and Strength to Believers (Deuteronomy 11:13-15)


Psalm 84:5-7, 11-12 "Blessed is the one in whom you have strength, whose heart desires the way to Zion. As they pass through the valley of tears, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains cover the whole valley. As they go, they make themselves stronger, and each one of them goes to Zion to meet God… For the Lord God is a sun and shield, who bestows favor and glory. He withholds nothing good from those whose walk is upright. Blessed is the one who trusts in you, O Lord Almighty!"


1. What does "adding strength upon strength" mean?


As the name suggests, it means adding strength to one's own strength. God's blessing to people is, "As your days are, so your strength will be" (Deuteronomy 33:25)! My understanding is that God helps us in our work, giving us enough strength to accomplish our tasks and overcome life's difficulties.


 In modern Chinese, "力量" (liliang, strength) is interpreted as: 1. Physical strength, having weight. 2. Ability. 3. Function; effectiveness. Strength can foreshadow success, and it gives people a strong will. A strong will plays a crucial role in a person's healthy growth and career success; a strong will is the guarantee of success. Success is actually easy; it's simply about cultivating successful habits. The most terrifying force in the world is habit, and the most precious wealth in the world is also habit.


2. How to gain strength?


The word of God is the source of our strength. "For nothing from God is powerless" (Luke 1:37). Unfortunately, many believers, although they read God's word, do not take it to heart; their lives remain unchanged, and they do not live out God's word. Psalm 46:1 says, "God...is our strength, our ever-present help in trouble." In the new year, let us come before God, drawing sufficient strength from Him each day, so that our new year may be a year of victory, a year of blessing, and a year of glorifying the Lord's name. David tells us in the Psalms that God cares for people, prepares everything for their lives, and “crowns the years with grace; your paths drip with abundance” (see Psalm 65:11).


III. Glory Upon Glory—Crown the Years with Grace (Deuteronomy 11:21-25)


Glory upon glory means continually adding to one’s glory, and this glory comes from the Spirit of God.


2 Corinthians 3:16-18 “But when their hearts turn to the Lord, then the veil is removed. And the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled faces, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into his likeness, from glory to glory, as from the Spirit of the Lord.”


1. Looking to Jesus, Face to Face with God


Simply by looking to the glory of God, looking to the face of Jesus, we can find glory.


2. Growing Through the Lord, Life Continues


Constantly changing oneself, becoming more like the Lord, is glory upon glory.


 A filial son who has deep love will be gentle; a gentle son will have a joyful countenance; and a joyful countenance will have a kind and amiable appearance.

耶穌基督話:「凡想做我嘅門徒嘅人,就要捨棄自己,背起自己嘅十字架跟隨我。因為凡想救自己嘅生命,就會失去生命,但為我同福音而失去生命嘅人,就會救到生命。如果有人得到全世界,但係又失去自己嘅靈魂,噉有咩好處呢?或者,如果任何人都係我呢個世代嘅成年人,係有罪嘅,而我嘅兒子,係我呢個世代嘅成年人,噉有人可以畀啲咩嚟換取佢哋嘅靈魂呢? 當人帶住父嘅榮耀同聖天使一齊嚟嘅時候,佢就會為佢哋感到羞恥。」

je sou gei duk waa:「 faan soeng zou ngo ge mun tou  ge  jan , zau  jiu  sehei zigei, bui hei zigei ge sapzi gaa gan ceoi  ngo . jan wai  faan  soeng  gau  zi gei  ge  sang ming , zau  wui  sat heoi  sang ming , daan  wai  ngo  tung  fuk jam  ji  sat heoi  sang ming  ge  jan , zau  wui  gau dou  sang ming . jyu gwo  jau jan  dak dou  cyun  sai gaai , daan hai  jau  sat heoi  zi gei  ge  ling wan , gam  jau  me  hou cyu  ne ? waak6ze , jyu gwo  jam ho  jan  dou1hai  ngo  ni  go  sai doi  ge  sing nin  jan , hai  jau zeoi  ge , ji  ngo  ge  ji zi , hai  ngo  ni  go  sai doi  ge  sing nin  jan , gam  jau jan  ho ji  bei  di  me  lai  wun ceoi  keoi dei  ge  ling wan  ne ? dong  jan  daai  zyu  fu  ge  wing jiu tung  sing  tin si  jat cai  lai  ge  si hau , keoi  zau  wui  wai  keoi dei  gam dou  sau ci .」

Jesus Christ said, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?  If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

但係你要先求佢嘅國同佢嘅義,呢啲嘢都會畀你哋 daanhai nei jiu sin kau keoi ge gwok tung keoi ge  ji , ni di  je  dou  wui  bei  nei dei 

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well

因為神嘅國就喺你哋中間。」你哋內心。

jan wai  san  ge  gwok  zau  hai  nei dei  zung gaan, nei dei  noi sam .

Because the kingdom of God is in your midst, within you.

It is more blessed to give , than to receive....

 Bless Others as God Blesses You Today


PEACE, PROVISION, GUIDANCE, AND STRENGTH


Many people want God's blessing and that desire is not wrong. It is normal to want help, peace,   provision, guidance, and strength. 

When life feels heavy, you naturally hope God will open a door, calm your heart, or make a way. 

There is nothing shameful about bringing your needs to him. But blessing is not only something you receive. Blessing is also something you can give. 

This is one of the beautiful truths of the Christian life. 

God does not bless you only so you can feel comforted. 

He blesses you so you can carry his love to others. He fills you so you can pour out. 

He strengthens you so you can lift someone else. 

In scripture, God calls His people to be a blessing, to speak life, to pray with faith, and to serve with love. 

This is why prayer is one of the strongest ways you can love someone. 

Especially when you cannot change what they are going through.

Sometimes you love people who are facing problems you cannot solve. You cannot remove their pain. 

You cannot fix their marriage. 

You cannot heal their body. You cannot change their past. 

You cannot control what tomorrow will bring. But you can pray. 

One simple way you can bless others is by praying for them. Your prayer should not be only general but specific and sincere. 

When you pray in a clear and personal way, you are showing real care. 

You are saying, "Lord, this person matters to me and I am bringing their need to you." 

It is easy to say, "God, bless them," and move on. 

But when you take time to mention their burden, fear, decision, sickness, or their family situation, or their spiritual struggle, your prayer becomes a gift of love. 

Specific prayer does something important.

It helps you pay attention to what someone is carrying. It helps you listen with compassion. 

It also keeps your heart from becoming cold. 

When you pray for someone by name, you stop seeing them as a problem and start seeing them as a person loved by God. 

And when God answers, that person is reminded that they were seen, remembered, and carried in prayer. 

God welcomes this kind of prayer. 

Philippians 4: verses 6-7 teaches you not to be anxious but to bring your requests to God with thanksgiving and His peace will guard your heart and mind. 

The word requests means the real things on your heart. 

It includes the details you may think are too small to mention, but the Lord invites you to bring them. 

Nothing is too small when it touches your heart because our father cares about what concerns you. 

And many times the greatest comfort someone can receive is not advice but knowing that someone is praying for them with faith and love. 

A person may not need a long speech. 

They may just need to know they are not alone and that someone has brought their name before God. 

Scripture also shows you that praying for others is a ministry of blessing. 

James 5 verse 16 reminds you that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. 

When you pray, you are standing in faith before God, asking Him to do what you cannot do. 

Even if the person never hears your prayer, heaven hears it and God responds with His wisdom and mercy. 

There are times when you may not see quick results. You may pray for months. 

You may pray through tears. You may pray even when you feel tired. But do not stop. 

Prayer is not wasted.

God stores every prayer. God uses every prayer. 

And even when the answer is not immediate, prayer still changes things. 

It teaches you to trust the Lord more than your own understanding. 

A second way you can bless others is by asking God's favour on events and situations. 

Some moments feel bigger than your strength. 

A church service, a family gathering, an important meeting, a hard conversation, an exam, a journey, a medical procedure, or a season of decision. 

In those moments, it is right to pray, 

 "Lord, be present. Help us. Lord, let your will become done." This is dependence. 

You are admitting that success without God is still empty. But God's presence even in difficulty becomes your strength. 

Sometimes people chase good outcomes, but they forget the greatest need in existence is God Himself.

6:13 A plan can go well and stilI leave your heart empty. A meeting can be successful and still not bring peace. 

But when God is present, even a difficult day becomes meaningful. Even a hard conversation can become healing. Even a painful season can become a place where your faith grows. 

When you ask God to work in a situation, you are placing it in His hands. You are remembering that He is near to His people. 

Proverbs 16:3 says to commit your work to the Lord and your plans will be established. 

This does not mean everything will happen exactly as you imagined. 

It means your life is guided by God's wisdom instead of being controlled by fear. 

So when you pray for God's favor on a church service, you are asking for more than a good program. 

You are asking for sinners' and saints' hearts to change, for conviction to come, for comfort to reach the weary, for unity to grow, for faith to rise, and for Jesus Christ to be honoured.

7:26 You are asking God to do what only he can do because only God can touch the heart in a deep way. 

A third way you can bless is by blessing the Lord Himself. That may sound strange because God is the one who blesses you. 

But scripture tells you to bless Him through worship and gratitude. 

Psalm 104 verse one shows this heart posture of blessing the Lord. When you bless God, you are not giving Him something He lacks. You are responding to His greatness. 

You are honouring who He is. 

You are thanking Him for what He has done in your life and also for what He is doing in the lives of those you are praying for. 

This kind of praise changes you. It softens your heart. It helps you stop coming to God only with needs and teaches you to come with love too. 

It reminds you that God is not only your helper. He is also holy, faithful, and worthy. 

And thanksgiving protects you from bitterness. When you start noticing God's goodness, even in small ways, your heart becomes steadier.

Psalm 103: verses 1 to 5 calls you to bless the Lord and not forget His benefits. 

The God who forgives, heals, redeems, and satisfies with good things. 

When you remember these truths, your faith becomes stronger. You stop looking at your life only through what you lack, and you begin to see how much God has already done. 

Yes, the Lord gives many good gifts and it is normal to desire them. 

But let your desire for blessing become a reason to bless others. 

 Think about how you want to be treated when you are hurting, confused, or tired. 

9You want someone to care, to remember you, to pray for you, to speak faith over you, and to point you to Christ. 

So choose to do the same for others. 

Matthew 7:12 teaches you to do to others what you would want them to do to you. 

This is not only about kindness in what you do, but also kindness in how you pray. 

Because sometimes the most loving thing you can do is stop for a moment, lift a person to God, and ask the Lord to cover them with His mercy. 

When you live this way, you bless people through thoughtful prayer. 

You bless situations by inviting God's presence and will. 

And you bless the Lord through worship and gratitude. 

And as you bless, you will also see that God often refreshes the one who pours out love. 

Proverbs 11 verse 25 says that whoever brings blessing will be enriched and the one who waters will also be watered. 

This does not mean you bless others only to get something back. It means God is kind to those who live with an open heart. 

When you choose to pray, to serve, and to encourage others, God also strengthens you in ways you did not expect. 

He keeps your heart from drying up. He keeps your faith alive. He reminds you that you are part of His work.

 Now, let us take a moment to pray together.

🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 

Heavenly Father, thank you for blessing me far beyond what I deserve. 

Thank you for the gift of life, the gift of faith, and the gift of your Presence. 

 Even when my heart is tired, you do not turn away from me.

Father, forgive me for the times I have made blessings only about my own needs. 

Forgive me when I have chased comfort more than I have sought your heart. 

Cleanse me from selfishness and renew my motives. Purify my heart again. 

Teach me to want what you want. 

Teach me to live in a way that reflects Jesus Christ. 

Lord, I bring before you those who are heavy in spirit. 

Some are carrying burdens they cannot explain. 

Some are fighting silent battles that no one else can see. Some are anxious about tomorrow, worried about money, family, health, and the future. 

 Father, your word in 1 Peter 5 : 7 tells me to cast all my care upon you because you care for me. So I cast these burdens before you today. I place every worry into your hands. 

I ask you to cover them with your peace. 

Father, teach me how to pray for others with true love. Help me to remember names. 

Help me to pray with compassion. Let my prayers carry faith and kindness. 

Your word says in James 5:16 that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. 

Lord, I am not righteous by my own works, but because of Jesus Christ. So I come boldly, trusting that you hear me and trusting that you can move in ways I cannot. 

Father, I pray for those who feel forgotten. Remind them that they are seen by you. 

Remind them that they are loved.

Your word in Isaiah 49:15 says that even if a mother could forget her child, you will not forget your people. 

So Lord, let the lonely ones feel your nearness. Let the rejected ones feel your acceptance. 

Let the broken ones feel your healing. Let the weary ones feel your strength. 

Lord, I pray for families that are under pressure. Heal what is strained. 

Restore what is damaged. 

Bring peace where there is constant tension. Give humility where pride has grown. 

Give forgiveness where hearts have become hard. 

Your word in Colossians 3 :13-14 teaches me to forgive as the Lord forgave me and to put on love which binds everything together in perfect unity. 

Father, pour your love into homes. 

Let your Spirit soften hearts and bring reconciliation. 

Father, I pray for those who are making big decisions. Some are choosing a job, a course, a marriage step, or a life direction.  Lord, do not let them be led by fear or confusion. 

Your word in Proverbs 3: verses 5-6 tells me to trust in you with all my heart and not lean on my own understanding and you will direct my paths. So Lord, direct their paths. 

Close the wrong doors with your mercy and open the right doors with your wisdom. Give clarity that cannot be shaken. 

Lord, I also pray for your favor over situations that feel too heavy for human strength. 

I bring before you every upcoming event, meeting, church service, exam, and every medical appointment. 

Father, go before your people. Let your Presence be the greatest gift in every moment. 

Your word in Exodus 33:14 says, "My presence will go with you and I will give you rest." 

 So Lord, let your presence rest upon every place they step into. 

Let your peace rule over every environment.

Father, I ask that you help me live with a heart of worship. 

Teach my heart to bless you in the morning and bless you at night. Teach my soul to remember your goodness. 

Your word in Psalm 103: verses 1 to 2 says, "Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 

Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Lord, keep me from forgetting. 

Keep me from becoming blind to the gifts you already placed in my life. 

 Lord Jesus, you said in Matthew 5:16 that my light should shine before others so they may see good works and glorify you Father in heaven. So, Father, let my life point people to you. Let my words bring hope. 

Let my actions reflect love. 

Make me your child who blesses, not someone who drains others. Give me a heart that serves even when it costs me comfort.

Father, I pray that you will make me attentive to the needs around me. 

Sometimes I miss the hurting ones because l am too focused on myself. Open my eyes. 

Help me notice the tired ones, discouraged person, the one who is always strong for everyone else. 

Teach me to reach out with prayer and encouragement. 

Your word in Galatians 6:2 says to bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. 

Lord, help me carry burdens in prayer. 

Help me stand with others in faithful intercession. Father, I ask that you refresh my heart as I bless others.  Your word in Proverbs 11:25 says that the one who waters will also be watered. 

 Lord, keep my spirit renewed and joy alive. Keep my faith strong. Let me not grow tired in doing good. 

Your word in Galatians 6:9 reminds me that in due season I will reap if I do not give up. So strengthen me to continue.

19:07 Father, thank you for the greatest blessing of salvation through Jesus Christ. 

Your word in Ephesians 1:3 says, "You have blessed me with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ." 

So Lord, let me live from that truth. 

 Let my confidence be in your grace. Let my hope be in your promises and let my life become a blessing to hearts, homes, and the church. In Lord Jesus Christ's name, amen. 

Dear reader, if this prayer has touched your heart, say amen as a sign of faith. 

I pray that every blessing in this prayer is now upon you in the name of  Lord Jesus Christ. 

And if you need a special prayer, feel free to let us know in the comments. 

 We would be honored to pray for you.

 May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you always.
