Prayer
Dearest loving Father in Heaven, thank You for the gift of faith. I choose today to exercise my faith and let the world see that I’m trusting You. Keep me close to You. Search my heart and remove anything that is displeasing to You. I bless You today and always. Thank You for the victory that overcomes the world—faith in Jesus Christ. Thank You for loving me, for empowering me, and changing me to be more like You. Have Your way in my heart so that I can be a shining light of Your love to the people around me. Today I choose to trust You. I stand on Your promises and choose to live with a victor’s mentality. Help me to be faithful in the things You have given me to do today.
Lord, I have judged myself by so many false standards. I have seen myself with blurry vision. I have looked in a stained mirror never seeing what You see. I am so thankful that You do not feel I am stuck in a rut. You believe in me and have a wonderful plan for my life. I commit myself to You and ask that You would renew me day by day and make me more like You. Today, help me believe. Help me really understand that I am Your child, a joint heir with Christ. Help me believe You for mighty things today. I pray that Your Holy Spirit will give me a vision worthy of Your power. Help me to do mighty things with Your help dear Lord.
Father, it is so hard for me to understand that I don’t have to earn Your love to please You. Instead, You already love me. You are already pleased with me. Thank You, Father, for all the grace You have given me. Help me trust Your love and grace. Lord, I need to know that You are watching me. You are the source of my confidence and security. Lead me to spend all of my time pursuing Your love and protection. I am so glad I can put my trust in the plans You have for me. I thank You that I can know that You will work them out because of Your faithful love. Forgive me for my lack of focus and thanksgiving. Help me as I devote myself to prayer, to stay alert and thankful developing a deep relationship with You. Thank You Almighty God for bringing storms into my life to wake me up from my tendency to sit back and not serve You as You desire. Give me the strength to lead my family as together we step out in faith to reach our neighbors and friends for You. In the Sweet and mighty name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen

Prayer Quote of the day
When the devil sees a man or woman who really believes in prayer, who knows how to pray, and who really does pray, and, above all, when he sees a whole church on its face before God in prayer, he trembles as much as he ever did, for he knows that his day in that church or community is at an end.
