40 Days of Prayer- Youth Devotional DAY 39

CHRIST IS COMING AS THE JUST AND TRUE JUDGE REVELATION 19:2A  

Have you ever had someone truly wrong you or someone you love? It is so hard to let go  of what you think they deserve for what they have done. It can eat away at you, your hap piness, and your joy, and it can overcome your every thought. It has the potential to make  you miserable. 

In Revelation, we read the praises of John. He writes that all power and glory belong to God—  not anyone else. He will be the one who brings justice to every circumstance because He alone  is the one true judge—not you, and not me. You can trust that God knows, sees, and hears  everything. He is not fooled by things that fool us; He is not resentful, and He is not vengeful.  

We can praise right alongside John because we know that God is coming back! We can let go,  we can release what has been hurting us, and we can trust that God knows what is best for  every single situation. We do not need to worry about the people who have wronged us; it is  not our job. Our job is to love one another like Jesus loves us!  

PRAYER POINTS: 

1. Do you truly trust that God is coming back and that His judgements  are true and righteous? Ask Him to help you in any areas of unbelief. 

2. Ask God to reveal to you what you have been holding onto— intentionally or not—and what needs to be released back to Him.  

3. Take time and listen to what God is saying back to you. Pray for the  Holy Spirit to be present.
