Song of Solomon 2:1 – “I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.”
Hosea 14:5 – “I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.”
Father God, You, are the source of life, the dew that refreshes weary souls. Just as You promised Israel renewal, I ask that You revive my heart and help me grow in Your presence. Let my faith flourish like the lily, strong, vibrant, and filled with Your beauty. Root me deeply in Your truth, Lord, like the mighty trees of Lebanon, unwavering in my trust and devotion to You. May my spiritual foundation be firm, my love for You unshaken, and my heart always anchored in Your grace. Pour out Your mercy, Lord, and restore me. Let my life reflect the abundant growth and strength that comes only from Your hand. I praise You for Your faithfulness, now and forever. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
