Praying the Scriptures
Wednesday Morning Prayer
September 11, 2024
Out of his anguish he shall see light; he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge. The righteous one, my servant, shall make many righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. (Isaiah 53:11)
Heavenly Father,
We come before You with heavy and hopeful hearts on this solemn morning. We remember the pain and loss of this day, yet we also remember the hope and strength that arose from the ashes.
Your Word reminds us in Isaiah 53:11, “Out of his anguish he shall see light; he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge. The righteous one, my servant, shall make many righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.”
Lord, we reflect on the suffering and sacrifice endured by so many, and we find comfort in knowing that, just as Your servant bore our burdens, You are present with us in our own times of anguish. Your love transforms our pain into light and gives us hope.
We ask for Your healing presence to be with those who still mourn, those who still carry the weight of that day, and those who still serve and protect us. May they find peace in Your promise of restoration and renewal.
Guide us to be instruments of Your love and reconciliation, reaching out with compassion to those around us. Let us be lights in the darkness, bearers of Your hope in a world that longs for healing.
In Your mercy, hear our prayer. Strengthen us to live as Your faithful servants, bringing justice, peace, and righteousness to all we encounter.
We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, the one who bore our iniquities and brings us into Your light.
Amen.
May this prayer bring comfort and peace to all who remember and reflect on this day.
