Yahweh Nissi

Yahweh Nissi means “The Lord is My Banner.”

Read & Reflect: Isaiah 49:22-25

Praise God: For His power to save the children in your life.

Offer Thanks: for God’s promise of help.

Confess: any lack of faith, fueled by disappointment.

Ask God: to arouse your fighting spirit.

Though you may be living for Christ, the children in your life may not be. You may have done your best to share your faith, read the Bible to them, pray with them, take them to church and model the love of Christ, yet they have pulled away.

Year after year you pray, but nothing seems to change. Whatever the issues, you know they will self-destruct if they do not find their way back to God. Perhaps you have become so discouraged by what you see that you have stopped praying.

Yet scripture tells us that those who hope in the Lord will NOT be disappointed. You may agonize over their choices and circumstances, but you can’t afford to let that push you to premature conclusions. The whole story has yet to be written.

Instead of giving up, pray that Yahweh Nissi will unfurl His banner for all to see, rescuing these children from whatever captivates them. Join with others to remind God of His promise to “contend with those who contend with you “ and to save the children you love and bring them home again.
