Prayer
My dearest Loving Father, thank You for Your perfect love which drives out all fear. I choose to meditate on Your Word which feeds my faith and empowers me to overcome. I bless You and praise You today for Your goodness and grace in my life. I thank You for Your Word which says that You have not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. I receive peace in my heart and mind and stand strong in faith knowing that the greater One lives in me. Lord, I ask that You transform my bondage into Your freedom. Transform my pain into Your blessing. Transform my life into Your likeness. Help me change my “can’t” to “can”. Help me trust in Your strength and not mine.
Lord, thank You for loving me so much. Thank You for Your grace and mercy in my life. Help me to see others the way You do. Help me love others in the same way that You love me. The same way I would want them to treat me. Help me to see the joy in loving You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength and in loving others in the way I want to be loved. Lord, fill me up with Your love and Your joy and send me out. Lord keep me and my family from being envious of the bright lights of evil that shine in our world. Help us to use the resources You have given us to put down deep spiritual roots that will make us strong rather than just growing branches that make us attractive only. Nothing I do, Lord, will increase Your love for me, but still I want to do all that I can. Search my heart and know that I do truly love You. Help me to show that love.
Jesus, thank you for choosing to allow your body to be broken so that we might experience healing. As we rest in your loving grace each day, give us the confidence to hand over the painful areas in our lives and realize that you are a great redeemer and restorer of broken things. As we face broken systems in our own lives and in the lives of those whom we serve at work, may we find confidence in the fact that you gave your life on the cross so that brokenness would be ultimately redeemed and restored. May we, in our brokenness, be part of your healing work in this world. In Jesus’ mighty name, I Pray, Amen

Prayer Quote of the day
Faith, and hope, and patience and all the strong, beautiful, vital forces of piety are withered and dead in a prayerless life. The life of the individual believer, his personal salvation, and personal Christian graces have their being, bloom, and fruitage in prayer.
