Prayer
Our Loving Father in heaven, today I bless and praise You for Your faithfulness. I choose to trust even when things aren’t happening on my timetable. Thank You for working in me as I stand in faith to see every promise fulfilled in my life. Lord, today I profess that my hope and confidence is in You! I choose to believe Your Word which says You are faithful and Your Word is forever settled in heaven. Show me Your love as I keep my heart and mind stayed on You. Help me to see through the eyes of faith. Help me to trust You and not fear.
Abba Father, I have come today seeking you with all my heart and know that you are listening to me. I am so glad that I have found you, the true and living God. I claim today the fact that you have plans for me. Give me courage and strength, I pray. Plans with a hope and a future. Thank you dear Father that I can put my full confidence in that promise. Help me to be aware of the evil in today’s society. Help me to cling to the knowledge of Your Word so that I will do what I ought to do. Take away all evil desires and depraved thoughts that will lead me to sin and turn away from following You. In both good times and bad, Lord, be close by me to help me keep my head about me. Do not let me be swept up in temporary situations, losing sight of Your hand on my life, but let me always feel Your guiding presence.
Father, thank you for the example of Jesus, who teaches us to pray. Help us to imitate his example in ways that are wise. May we learn to communicate with you – indeed, to commune with you – regularly and deeply. May our conversation with you begin in the morning and continue until we go to bed. Help us to see our whole lives as an expression of and response to your grace. Help us, Lord, to encourage each other in prayer and to do so with grace and love. By your grace, may we learn to spend time with you each day, delighting in your presence and opening our hearts to you freely. Thank you for being available to us. Thank you for desiring time with us. Indeed, thank you for desiring us!. All praise, honor, and glory be to you, O God. We ask this in the matchless name of Jesus Christ, Amen

Prayer Quote of the day
No erudition, no purity of diction, no width of mental outlook, no flowers of eloquence, no grace of person can atone for lack of fire. Prayer ascends by fire. Flame gives prayer access as well as wings, acceptance as well as energy. There is no incense without fire; no prayer without flame.
