Prayer
Our Father in heaven, I thank You for giving me the gifts, talents and abilities to enjoy life and accomplish Your will. Today I choose to put my trust and hope in You knowing that You have equipped me for the destiny You have for me. Abba Father, thank you for Your covenant with us. Thank you for establishing the terms of our relationship through the covenants you have made. Thank you for the fullness of grace we see in the New Covenant. Help us, Lord, to live faithfully in covenant relationship with you, to live fully as your people in all we do.
Thank You Lord, for rescuing me from the snare of sin. On my own, I get so tangled in sin, but with You to guide me, I can avoid the traps and remain free for a life of joy and love. There are times when it does seems that you have forgotten me, times when it feels as if you are looking the other way. Help me to trust and rejoice in You even in the midst of my struggle. Thank you for the times you have enabled me to have confidence in you though I was going through difficulties. Help me, I pray, to trust you no matter what, to rejoice in your goodness at all times. May I remember how you have blessed me in the past. And may my faith in you be built on the bedrock of your revelation in Jesus Christ. Today, Lord, I pray especially for those who are struggling to believe, who wonder if you have turned away from them. Help them to have confidence in you. Reach out to them in your mercy. Lift them up by your grace.
We ask this in the matchless name of Jesus Christ, Amen
