Prayer
Dearest loving Abba Yahweh, today I choose love. I choose to honor the people around me. Help me to see value in others. Help my actions and words to esteem and delight in them so that I can be an example of Your love and light. Thank You for an endless supply of joy. Today I choose to cast my cares on You and praise You because You are worthy. Let joy flow through me as I honor You in all I say and do. Thank You for making me strong in You. I trust that You are working in my life, even in the midst of the storms. Thank You for a new season of blessing as I keep my heart and mind focused on You. Father, thank You for Your protection, grace and mercy on my life. I choose to focus on You; I choose to dwell on Your goodness; I choose to lift up my eyes to You because You are my help.
Lord, thank You for calling me Your child. Help me know the depths of Your love for me. Help me know what it really means to call You Father. I need Your power in my life. Work in my life today that others might see and stand in reverence of You. Lord, I thank You that You have forgiven me for my sins. However, there are voices inside my heart that constantly condemn me. They use shame, guilt, and legalism to tie me up and keep me from experiencing the freedom You have given me. Today, help me renounce those inner voices and celebrate your forgiveness. Help me live in the reality of Your love.
Loving Father, thank you for being a God who values life, who saves life, who gives life. Thank you for all you have done to help me to be more fully alive. Thank you for doing this same work in countless millions of people, from those in my family to those across the world. Give me the courage, Lord, to look at my life from your perspective. Help me to be a channel of your healing power in every aspect of my life. Help me this day to obey Your Word and to be faithful in studying Your Word so that I may do a better job of obeying Your commands. Enable me to first personally understand and then to help my family to understand the importance of being obedient to God’s Word. Protect my family from being led astray by the temptations of Satan. To you be the glory. We ask this in the matchless name of Jesus Christ, Amen
