A Friday Prayer
Dear Friends, this will be a bit different than my typical posts. Okay. It will be very different but I thought it would be good if we could pray together today. For those who need a special touch from God, I pray you will receive it and for those who just want to agree with me, that is great too. Feel free to add your own prayer. Scripture says where two or three agree, He is in the midst and I know He’s here right now.
Father God, I thank You so much for your presence. You have been so good to us–far better than we deserve–and, for that, I can’t praise You enough. I thank you for your protection and your covering, for your guidance and your comfort when we need it.
I pray for those who are struggling today, Father. I thank You that You see every need and that You care more than we know. I know how much my heart aches when someone I know is going through a difficult time but I know that Yours hurts even more, especially when those hurting people don’t turn to You like they should. Yet You wait for You are merciful.
God, continue to extend that mercy but help us to see that it’s Your mercy that also convicts us when we stray from Your will and begin to do our own thing. It’s Your mercy that will not dwell where sin is present. Make us quick to repent so that we continually keep that fellowship with You that is our life’s sustenance. Without You, life is not worth living.
Father, I ask today that You will lift up the hands that hang down and strengthen the feeble knees. We are dependent on You for every breath that we breathe and we acknowledge that, Father. For those who are sick in body, I ask that You will touch them today. Encourage them. Give them strength. Help them to rest in You knowing that You have a plan and have not left them for one moment.
And, Lord, today, as we go about our day, help us not to waste one moment. Help us to shine for You in everything we do that there will be no doubt to those around us that Your Spirit is alive and well in each of us and, because of You, we have a song to sing even in the darkest days.
Lord, we love You and praise You for who You are and who You are molding us to be. May You be glorified in everything we do.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen
