A prayer for today

Dear God

When I want to give up, encourage my heart to go further, to take another step. To persevere despite what is. Help me to focus on You God when the giants loom high above me. Encourage my heart even now to pursue the greater things in life. Do not move my obstacles Father, but give me the wisdom to face every single one as they come up ahead of me. Help me also to dwell on the things which stir your heart. For you are my Father and I am your child, You are my Shepherd and I will go wherever you lead me. Father In the places where I have put my hand on the plough, help me to remain committed. Refresh me. Rekindle the fire within my heart for your causes, for You. Whatever the terrain, I want to make it to the finish line. Help me walk forward. Give me strength in my heart to accomplish all things you have planned for me to, today. In your name Jesus, I ask. 

Amen

A Prayer

Another day of wonder, mystery, doors to walk through, people to see and reach out to. I place my hand in Yours once again – Lord take the lead. Walk with me God as I walk with You, into today. Trust, I trust my life to you, my family, everything which is precious, I entrust to You – for I have no power to protect when circumstance impact everything I think is secure, but all circumstance is in Your mighty hand.. 

Discernment I ask for the obstacles which await me across my path.

For the things I cannot handle, I ask Father for strength. You carry me, I know so close to your heart. I know You have my best interest in Your heart.  

When problems arise, remind me that this morning… I placed my life in Your hand in ’trust’, remind me gentle Spirit that I have no control to change through worry and anxiety what God, You can, as I wait, still, in Your Presence. Remind me that it is You who is God and not I.

Teach me to smile from my heart and value people as You value them. Teach me to love as You love, despite the weaknesses, despite the attitudes, despite the backstabbing, backbiting comments – teach me, this unconditional love, so that I may reflect Your heart to others.

When disappointments come, teach me tears are healthy and holding on to unforgiveness is not. Teach me therefore dear Father, to let go every hurt that pounds on the door of my heart, to forgive freely and to love abundantly.

To You this day I commit, put a song in my heart, a skip in my step. Help me to live in Your promise and be a fragrance unto You and the people around me, my Father.

In Jesus’ name.. Amen
