Daily Prayer

PRAYING SCRIPTURE

Psalms 8:1-5 "O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth. You have set your glory above the heavens.

From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies to silence the foe and the avenger.

When I consider your heaven, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars, which you have set in place.

What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly being and crowned him with glory and honor.

Dear Lord all prayer should start with YOU. As David wrote this prayer, his focus was YOU and your Majesty!! Lord help us to praise your Holy Name, before we seek forgiveness, or ask for daily bread. Thank you Jesus. How I love Your WORD. How I love You. Amen.

Fellowship with God

Genesis 3:8 (NLT)
“When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the LORD God walking about in the garden….”

Genesis 5:22-24 (NLT)
“After the birth of Methuselah, Enoch lived in close fellowship with God for another 300 years, and he had other sons and daughters. ²³ Enoch lived 365 years, ²⁴walking in close fellowship with God.”

Father it is clear that from the very beginning of creation you determined, designed and desired fellowship with the human race. Why else would you create us in your image and likeness but that we might know you and live in the joy of your presence. What a unique thought Father, that we finite people, have the privilege of fellowship with the infinite God of creation. It reminds me of Psalm 144:3 (NLT) “O LORD, who are we that you should notice us, mere mortals that you should care for us?”

Thank you Father that through the sacrifice and resurrection of your Son we have been reconciled and renewed in our relationship with you. As 1 John 5:20 (NLT) tells us so clearly: “….now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life.”

Father it reminds me of the song:

Friendship with Jesus!
Fellowship divine!
Oh, what blessed, sweet communion!
Jesus is a Friend of mine.

Thank you Father for the pleasure of your fellowship.

Amen

Prayer in Time of Trouble

Lord, in every need let me come to You with humble trust saying, "Jesus, help me."
In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations, Jesus, help me.
In hours of loneliness, weariness, and trials, Jesus, help me.
In the failure of my plans and hopes; in disappointments, troubles, and sorrows, Jesus, help me.
When others fail me and Your grace alone can assist me, help me.
When I throw myself on Your tender love as a father and savior, Jesus, help me.
When my heart is cast down by failure at seeing no good come from my efforts, Jesus, help me.
When I feel impatient and my cross irritates me, Jesus, help me.
When I am ill and my head and hands cannot work and I am lonely, Jesus, help me.
Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls, and shortcomings of every kind, Jesus, help me and never forsake me.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
~ Deuteronomy 31:6

Amen.

Do Nothing

Father,

Your Son said that without Him we, Your people, can do nothing. Help us to remember that. As we enter into a new year, help not to trust in our abilities, our virtues, our organizations, or our plans, but to trust in Your power. Help us to remember that all we have comes from You, and it is all useless without Your involvement. Help us, in the final analysis, to trust in You and You alone.

In Jesus' Name,
Amen

Prayer for 2016

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT)
⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. ⁶ Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

Father, we are beginning a new year with new hopes, new goals, and new expectations. But in order for us to fulfill the desires your heart we must trust you with all of our heart. Father you know the path we should follow so help us not to be misguided by our limited understanding but to acknowledge that you really know what is best for us.

Help us to trust the certainty of your direction each day. And to remember your promise: “Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, ‘This is the way you should go,’ whether to the right or to the left.” Isaiah 30:21 (NLT)

So Father, we pray for the peace of your presence, the wisdom of your guidance and the joy of your Spirit each day in 2016.

For this we thank you in Jesus name.

Prayer for the New Year

Micah 7:18-20, 2 Corinthians 5:17

God's Steadfast Love and Compassion

Who is a God like you,

pardoning iniquity

and passing over transgression

for the remnant of his inheritance?

He does not retain his anger forever,

because he delights in steadfast love.

He will again have compassion on us;

he will tread our iniquities underfoot.

You will cast all our sins

into the depths of the sea.

You will show faithfulness to Jacob

and steadfast love to Abraham,

as you have sworn to our fathers

from the days of old.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,

he is a new creation.

The old has passed away;

behold, the new has come.

Abba Father, as we enter into a new year, we are so thankful and grateful for your steadfast love and compassion. We confess to you our wrongdoings over the years, you have been merciful to us. As much as we do not deserve your loving kindness, you still love us and long to commune with us. To you now Lord, we offer ourselves again. Create in us a clean heart O Lord and renew a right spirit within us for today and the year ahead.

Amen.

New Beginning

Father,

As we face a new year, a year full of new joys and new sorrows, new heartaches and new victories, may we face it with You. May we, Your people, trust You to bring us through the valleys and up the mountains. May we measure the opportunities we enjoy and the temptations we face in the light of Your truth. And may we journey on, celebrating the fact of Your presence. Until our journey's end.

In Jesus' Name,
Amen

A HEALING WORD

Proverbs 15:4 "The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit."

Gracious Lord, make me Your messenger of hope and healing. Fill my mouth with words of life. Give me "an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary." Open my ears to listen to those who mourn, to those who are in distress, to those who need hope. Gentle Savior, may the Comforter bring comfort through me to the brokenhearted. This is my desire. I love You. Amen.

Worthy of Worship

Matthew 2:11 (NLT)
¹¹They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Father the significance of the gifts of the Magi is not measured by their wealth but by their humility. As great a value as the gifts were, they pale in comparison to the reverence and awe in which they were given. The Wise Men followed the principle of true giving, first: “…. they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts."

Thank you Father for the example of these wise men who traveled so far in seeking Him alone who is worthy of worship.

Amen

What a mighty and powerful God we serve!

Amen
