Daily Prayer

a prayer for the unknown

Father,

I do not understand
the why sometimes

the things of hurt
pain
sorrow

I welcome the
joyful and content surety
of understanding

Father,
please plunge
deep into the recesses
of my heart

help me
see
love
obey

help me
understand

teach me to know
my number
of days

that i may be wise
to use them
for Your glory

O Lord - but more!
help me trust in what You
know
and not to trust
in only what i do

though you slay me
I will trust in You

Amen

"I will complain, yet praise;
I will bewail, approve;
And all my sour-sweet days
I will lament and love." -George Herbert

HE KNOWS MY NAME

John 20:16 Jesus said to her, "Mary."

Dear risen Christ, through Your death, sin has been vanquished and death itself has been defeated. Reigning King, You have been exalted to the highest places and have been given the name above all names. Every soul in all creation shall bow before You. Yet You are not only the Savior of the world, You are also my personal Savior. You call my name (Wanda). You know me through and through. Nothing about me is hidden from You. What a privilege to acknowledge You as God Almighty and to walk with You as my Savior and my friend. You know my name! I love You. Amen.

I have a Maker
He Formed My Heart
Before even time began
My life was in hands

He knows my name

He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls

He hears me when I call

I have a father
He calls me his own

No One Like Our God

1 John 4:8 (ESV)
…….. God is love.

Luke 18:19 (NLT)
¹⁹ “Only God is truly good.

John 3:33 (ESV)

……… God is true.

Psalm 99:9 (ESV)

………. God is holy!

Father as I meditate on these verses, they tell me everything I need to know about You. You are love tells me about Your heart. You are good tells me about Your character. You are true tells me about Your integrity. You are holy tells me about Your nature. In your love you accept me, in your goodness you forgive me, in your truth you protect me and in your holiness you justify me.

How can I not say with the Psalmist: “My whole being will exclaim, "Who is like you, O LORD? ….." Psalm 35:10 (NIV)

Thank you Father that you have made yourself know to me not only in your creation and in your Word, but especially and particularly through your Son. Through faith in Him, Jesus, I truly and personally know You. To meditate on this is not only inspiring, it is life transforming.

Amen

God's Love

Father,

Our prayer is that we will have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep God's love is. May we experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then we will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. (From Ephesians 3:18-19 NLT)

As we sojourn here on this earth, may we abide in You realizing our citizenship is in Heaven and looking beyond the things of this earth to the treasures of Heaven. Thank You that we can enter in and come boldly before You to present our requests today … for strength, wisdom, provision, protection and that we might always be growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. We give You thanks for this awesome privilege and praise the Name of Jesus.

The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell
The guilty pair, bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin

Could we with ink the ocean fil
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade

To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky

O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure

The saints' and angels' song.

a prayer to the fountain of all wisdom

Almighty God,
the fountain of all wisdom,

you know our necessities before we ask
and our ignorance in asking:

Have compassion on our weakness,
and mercifully give us those things which for our unworthiness we dare not,
and for our blindness we cannot ask;

through the worthiness of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Amen

never invade again!

We all go through seasons of darkness in our lives. We all have seen our loved ones go through these same deep, dark times of full-on enemy oppression.

I don't know about you, but I am sick of it. I am so tired of the enemy waging war against those I love. I am so tired of satan sticking his nose in where he absolutely does NOT belong. I am sick to death of the devil!

I came across this scripture a few weeks ago and I am claiming this loud and clear for my loved ones! I am trusting and believing that God will be completely victorious over every area of their life. I am holding tight to the beautiful Word of God and I am placing my full confidence in the One who can defeat and destroy every evil that abounds in this world.

I am seeing the fruit of those prayers. I am seeing the peace of God begin to rule once again in their life. I am seeing God do what only He can do.

Does anyone else need this? Cling to this scripture. Read it and memorize it. Shout it out loud! Pray it over your precious loved ones. Believe it to the depths of your heart. And then begin to thank God for what He is going to do and for the Victory that is sure to come!!

Amen

a prayer for the weary

Heavenly Father,

We lift up your Name today. You are the Lord of lords, the Most High God. You are the God of Peace, our Shepherd, and the God who provides. May your Name be exalted.

We also know that you are the God of power and strength. And we sometimes struggle to feel your power and strength. Our hearts are broken, our bodies weary, and souls hurt. We struggle to find hope in the world without it. We struggle to find strength within ourselves.

But we know, O God, that you are the one who gives us strength. When we are weary, you provide. When we look to the world for hope, it will fail us. Yet we can always find hope in you.

We praise your Name, Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord who provides. Please give us strength for
our weary souls.

Amen

Prayer for the Caregivers

Father, please bless those who are taking care of the elderly, the disabled, and all those who cannot take care of themselves. Give them strength and grace. Provide encouragement, and give them times for them to care for themselves. Keep them compassionate and gracious toward those in their care. Let them show the love of Jesus. Amen

RELENTLESS LOVE

Proverbs 3:11-12 "My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in."

Father, how You cherish Your children! Your love is relentless and undeserved. Even Your discipline is motivated by compassion. Teach me to accept Your correction with humble gratitude. I do not ask You to withhold Your discipline, I only ask that You grant me the wisdom and humility to learn the lesson quickly. I love You. Amen.

I praise Thee Lord,

For cleansing me from sin.

Fulfill Thy Word,

And make me pure within.

Fill me with fire,

Where once I burned with shame.

Grant my desire

To magnify Thy Name.

~J. Edwin Orr

Promises Kept

Isaiah 41:10 (HCSB)
Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with My righteous right hand.

Father the power of your promise is your presence with us. The peace of your promise is your relationship with us. The protection your promise is your willing intervention in our lives. The reliability of your promise is as trustworthy today as it was when first given. “….Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. ²When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. ³For I am the LORD your God………” Isaiah 43:1-3 (ESV)

Thank you Father for loving us, for being faithful to your promises to us and for the relationship we have with you as our God and Father. We praise you in Jesus name. Amen!

As We Wait

They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint. -Isaiah 40:31 ESV

As we wait Lord help us to remember that …

… You are the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
… You do not faint or grow weary.
… Your understanding is unsearchable.
… You give power to the faint and increase their strength.

And help us Lord to …

… Know that peace often comes as we are still before you.
… Develop patience with our situation and those around us.
… Give thanks for all you are and who you have made us to be.
… Trust you with all of our hearts and not lean on our own understanding.

Amen

a prayer for seeing

Lord God,

We come before you today humbled and grateful to be in your presence. In your faithfulness, Lord, we know that you are a God who sees. You are a God who hears. You are a God who knows all the inner workings of our hearts.

But our hearts are broken. And not always broken for the right things. Our hearts want things, O God, and they most often want the wrong things. So in our heart's brokenness, we ask for clarity and strength. Strength to resist the temptation to want the wrong things. And clarity to know which things our hearts should be broken for. Help us to see the world with your eyes and your heart, broken over the sin and pain in this world.

We thank you for the compassion and mercy. Help us give that compassion and mercy to others, too.

Amen

DAVID'S PRAYER OF PRAISE

Image result for clip art King David Dancing

In the Book of I Chronicles David is returning the Ark of God back to the city of David. There was rejoicing, laughter, dancing and music as the Ark of the Covenant was returned. Part of that celebration is as follows and is my prayer for today.

Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness

Let the whole world know what he has done.

Sing to him, yes, sing his praises.

Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds.

Exult in his holy name.

Rejoice, you who worship the Lord.

Search for the Lord and his strength;

Continually seek him.

Remember the wonders he has performed,

His miracles, and the rulings

he has given.

Would you join me in the freedom we have in Christ to rejoice, to laugh, to dance and to sing of his great goodness. At this joyous celebration there was also gifts from King David. Each person was given a loaf of bread, a cake of dates, and a cake of raisins.

Lord, let our rejoicing be in the singing, dancing, laughing, loving and giving gifts in Your Holy Name for what you have done for us. I love You. Amen.

The Sustaining Power of Peace

Philippians 4:6-7 (HCSB)
⁶Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. ⁷And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Father in stressful times when so much may seem uncertain I thank you for the peace you make available to us. Your peace is stronger than our fears, greater than our finite understanding, more enduring than our feeble defenses and reassuring beyond our imagination.

You guard our hearts and minds with the security of your wisdom and the power of your love. You say to us “fear not” and so we will not fear because of our simple trust in Your Word. Your promise of peace and protection is more comforting than anything that may assail our faith. How true the Scripture is: “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” Isaiah 26:3 (NLT)

Thank you Father, that through Your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, we can relax and experience your peace that passes all understanding and gives such a sustaining comfort to our souls.

Amen.
