Thinking about a moment a few weeks ago where I was given the privilege of lifting up a sister in Christ before the Lord. In describing her request, this sister referenced Jer5:22 where the Lord describes how He "placed the sand as a boundary for the sea, an eternal decree, so it cannot cross over it; though the waves toss yet they cannot prevail." A beautiful imagery of the Lord drawing this line and saying, "No more. Not past this."What I love about her prayer was that she was not praying for complete restoration; she was praying for the decline to cease. Rather than pray for a reversal, she merely prayed for the stop. Many ask for complete removal from trial; few understand their cross to bear and simply ask for a relief from time to time as they trek up that hill.
