Today We Pray - Feb 07, 2017

Dear God, Thank You for the another week to remember the glorious resurrection of Your Son our Lord Jesus Christ. It really makes us glad, O God. Give us this day such blessings through our worship of you, that the days to come may be spent in your service.

I offer to Your divine majesty my unfeigned praise and thanksgiving for all Your mercies towards me. You made me at first and have ever since sustained the work of Your own hand. You gave Your Son to die for me and have given me assurance of salvation.

Heavenly Father, You have graciously accepted me as a living member of Your Son our Savior Jesus Christ. You have blessed me with the grace of forgiveness through the sacrifice He made for me and for all people. Send me now into the world in peace, and grant me strength and courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart, through Christ our Lord.

Amen

Dear Lord, I call upon You today. In the morning You hear me. In the morning, I offer You my prayer, watching and waiting.

I lift my heart to You, O Lord, to be strengthened for this day. Be with me in all I do, my God. Guide me in all my ways.

I humbly pray You so to guide and govern me by Your Holy Spirit, that in all the joys, occupations, and cares of this day I may never forget You. But remember that I am ever walking in Your sight. In Christ's Name, I pray.

Amen

Today We Pray - Feb 05, 2017

Dear God, let me give You thanks and praise for Your many and varied mercies extended toward me. I invite Your Holy Spirit to mold me into the person You want me to be. Empower me to keep reaching for the holiness I see in Jesus.

And O kind Father, continue Your mercy and favor to me this day, and always. Give resolution to all my lawful undertakings. Let me have all my directions from Your Holy Spirit and success from Your bountiful hand.

I bind myself to You this day in Your truth and in Your sacrifice. I give to You my anxiety and my fear, my depression and my doubt, for You have promised to take them if we only ask; and I take upon myself your burden, for it is light and your way is gentle. May I keep this in my heart and mind all this day.

Amen

Today We Pray - Feb 04, 2017

I pause for a moment
and think of the love and the grace
that God showers on me,
creating me in his image and likeness,
making me his temple.
God is within me and me in Him.

What most often stops me achieving freedom is my tendency
to be caught up in fears and expectations
about what I 'ought' or 'should' be.
My usual automatic responses tie me down
and inhibit me from exploring new areas of growth.
I ask and pray for a greater sense of inner freedom and
that I might reach the fresh and challenging possibilities
that God wishes me to realize.

Lead me Lord to where you need me to be.

Today We Pray - Feb 03, 2017

Dear Lord, I give thanks to You that You have protected me through the night from all danger and harm. Into Your hands I commend my body and soul and all that is mine. Let Your holy angels have charge of me, that the wicked one have no power over me.

Thank You, Lord, that we do not have to be weighed down by worry. Help us to place our concerns in Your care so that we do not fear tomorrow. I ask You to preserve and keep me from all sin and evil, that in all my thoughts, words, and deeds I may serve and please You.

Finally, let me go forth in thanks for the victory I have been given through our Lord Jesus Christ. May I be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. And, always remembering that in the Lord our labor is not in vain.

Amen

Today We Pray - Feb 02, 2017

Dear Lord, I pray that You will make me taste by love what I taste by knowledge. Let me know by love what I know by understanding. I owe You more than my whole self, Lord.

But I have no more, and by myself I cannot render the whole of it to You. Draw me to you, Lord, in the fullness of Your love. I am wholly Yours by creation; make me all Yours, too, in love.

Because You have made me, I owe You the whole of my love. Because You have redeemed me, I owe You the whole of myself. Because You have promised so much, I owe You my whole being.

Amen

Today We Pray - Feb 01, 2017

Dear Lord, so often we want complete and perfect solutions here and now. But, You work graciously in Your good time. Let Your goodness and patience and virtue shine through us so that we may bless others.

lf, LoI give You my whole serd, that You may grow in me. So that, it is You who lives, works and prays in me. Above all, I give you my heart that you may love in me.

Let me abide in you all this day, oh Christ. So that, when You appear, I may have confidence and not shrink from You in shame at Your coming. For I know that You are righteous, and I am sure that I will be made righteous only by my life in You.

Amen
