True wisdom comes to each of us
when we realize how little we
understand about life, ourselves,
and the world around us.

10/8/2018 0 Comments Prayer 2 Blessed God of all that is. I praise you for all that you are. No one is more loving, trustworthy, holy, or beautiful than you.
Thank you for blessing me with an abundance of food, clothing, and shelter and for blessing me with education, safety, wealth, and a job. Thank you for allowing me to live in a prosperous country where I can provide myself with all of these needs and luxuries. Thank you for offering your son for the sins of the world and for transforming me into His image so I can glorify you in everything I do. Yet there are times when I don’t glorify you in everything I do. For as Paul said in Romans 3:23, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. Forgive me for failing to be the human you created me to be and help me to eradicate all sin from my life. I ask that you would help me to always remember how loving, trustworthy, holy, and beautiful you are and allow that knowledge to compel me to live a life that reflects your nature. I ask that you cure and uplift the sick in the church all over the world. And I ask that you would heal our nation of the corruption and depravity that plagues it from the highest to lowest levels of our society. And when life on this present earth has ended, my hope is that you would glorify me with an immortal and incorruptible body in which I can live in Heaven with you for all eternity. All of this I ask in your son’s name. Amen.

9/28/2018 2 Comments Prayer 1 God almighty, God Most High, the Eternal God, and the Ancient of Days, I kneel before your throne with gratitude and petitions to ask of you. Every day you bless me with your grace. And by that grace, you bless me with food, clothing, a warm home in the winter, a cool home in the summer, my family, medicine, my jobs, your Word, and the church. I thank you for all these gifts of your grace. But I thank you most of all for the ultimate gift of grace: the gift of your son Jesus.
Nevertheless, there are many times when I don’t show you the appreciation you deserve for the grace you show me, and I sin against you. Lord, please forgive me of all our shortcomings. Help me to remember all the grace you’ve shown me and allow it to motivate me to live a righteous life. I ask that you would show grace to the sick by comforting their hearts and delivering them from their illnesses. And I ask that you would help me to remember to share the good news of your grace with those who are lost. By your grace, let my congregation grow and become a powerful force for good in my community and beyond. And when I come towards the end of my Christian journey, I ask that you would bring my journey to its climax by resurrecting me from the grave and bringing me into an eternal home with you. All of this I ask in Jesus’ name. Amen. |
