Today’s prayer:
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
Isaiah 11:9 KJV
Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank You for Your Word. Lord, I love these verses which talk about what is to come. My heart swells with emotion when I think about how the whole earth will be filled with the knowledge of You! How I long to see that day. Lord Jesus, until then, I humbly request You continue to use us to be lights that shine brightly in this world. Lord, that our understanding would be of You and Your ways. That our minds would be stayed upon You, not distracted by the cares of this world. Lord Jesus, teach us how to walk with You in integrity and truth, being Your hands and feet, not walking in our own ways or plans but rather that our actions, attitudes, and words flow out of our relationship with You. Lord, be with the fathers, that they might lead as You would, loving You, loving their wives and children as You do, living lives of courage to be mighty men of valor. Lord, please be with the mothers, teaching them how to be filled with discernment, to surrender completely before You, without worry, without trying to do it all, simply following through with the task at hand, honorable, and full of praise, women of prayer. Lord, please be with the children, young and old, guiding, protecting, teaching them about You and the world You created, sustaining them in Your righteousness and comforting them in Your salvation. Lord, for the elderly, the captive, the sick or hurt, please be with them. Let them understand all they truly need is You. Thank You for all Your wonderous works, Jesus! Thank You for salvation! Holy is Your name! Worthy are You of all praise! Thank You for Your promises! I love You! Amen.
