Today’s prayer:

Psalm 30:8 KJV — I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank You for being merciful and compassionate. You understand the innermost parts of ourselves. You look and see the hidden thoughts of our hearts. Your vision is far more perceptive than ours will ever be. Lord Jesus, You know how all things are working. You have every stage of it all in Your hands. Lord, please restore the hurting and the sick. Please touch the needy and comfort the those who mourn. Lord Jesus, the wayward and the proud, let them come to their senses and see the truth. Please, Lord Jesus, change those who think only of themselves and let them see what a waste it is to serve self. Lord Jesus, please break in pieces the yoke of false religion. Please protect the innocent. Please save the lost. Thank You for all Your wonderous works. Thank You for loving us always. Thank You for teaching us how to love others. Lord Jesus, please heal the hearts. Please restore the broken. Thank You for Your faithfulness. Amen.

Today’s verse and prayer:

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
Philippians 4:6 NKJV

Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank You. Thank You for being You, although my understanding of Who You are barely scratches the surface. Lord, You’re good, You give peace, You are patience, You’re faithful, and the list goes on. It is all incredible and I am so blessed by You. Lord, truly, there is nothing to fear when my soul is safe in You. But Lord, I am weak and frail and often I forget how safe I am. Like a little child, I don’t realize the truth: nothing can harm me when I’m in Your hands. Therefore, I choose to place all the things I’ve been concerned about in Your hands this morning. Lord, I surrender my agenda, my desires, my plans unto You and Your perfect will. Lord, thank You for taking every burden, every care. Thank You for continuing to polish me on the inside. Lord, if anyone has wronged me, I forgive them. If I have wronged anyone, please bring it to my attention that I might repent. Lord, I humbly request that You protect the innocent, save the lost, heal the sick and broken, and restore the prodigal. Let men and women call upon the name of the Lord. Thank You. Amen.
