Thursday Evening Prayer

April 3, 2025

In days to come the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; all the nations shall stream to it. Many peoples shall come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.” (Isaiah 2:2-3a)

Heavenly Father,

As the sun sets behind the peaks of the mountains and the warm desert breeze stirs the mesquite and sage, I lift my heart to You in gratitude. This land, bathed in twilight’s golden hues, reminds me of Your promise—that in the days to come, all nations shall stream to Your holy mountain.

Lord, as You call Your people to journey toward Your presence, I long to walk in Your ways. Guide my steps, that I may ascend not just the ridges of this desert land but the higher path of righteousness and peace. Teach me Your wisdom, as You have promised, that I may learn from You and walk in the light of Your truth.

In this quiet hour, let my soul be still before You. Just as the evening wind carries the scent of spring’s renewal, may Your Spirit refresh my heart, lifting away the burdens of the day. Help me to sow peace in my words and deeds, that others may see Your light shining through me.

As night settles over this sacred land, I rest in the assurance of Your love. Keep me in Your peace, Lord, and let me rise with the dawn, ready to follow You once more.

In the name of Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, I pray.

Amen.

May the peace of God, like the gentle evening breeze over the desert, guide your steps, refresh your spirit, and lead you ever closer to His holy mountain.
