Holy is Your Name

As I have studied Jesus’ example prayer, I have looked for Bible verses that help me pray each portion. Jesus started with “Holy is Your name”. This is an indicator of respect and praise. God is worthy of praise. There is much evidence for God’s worthiness if we pay attention.

Dear Heavenly Father, I want to speak the awe and praise that You deserve. You have done so many wonderful things. Creation is a boast of great beauty and creativity. Sunsets are still one of my favorite parts of creation. You have always followed through on what You promise to do.

Thank You!

I pray this in Jesus name.

God is so good.

Prayer and Praise

Dear Heavenly Father, we know many who are suffering in different ways. We come to You pleading for help. Please remind the suffering of Your love. We know Your Word tells us that You have a purpose for suffering (James 1:2-4; 2 Corinthians 12:9), but we just want the suffering to end. Please help us to remember Your promises.
We praise You for the joys You give. Many times even in suffering You bring cheer. Thank You for giving us many blessings.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

Always

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the many blessings You give. We have many ways to rejoice. Your creation is beautiful. The flowers are in full bloom right now and we can enjoy the beauty. The sunsets are beautiful artwork. Thank You for providing daily bread as well as extra joys along the way. I continue to pray for the needs You have allowed me to know. Please provide and help us to praise and thank You for the provision.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the description Nahum gives of Your power. I praise Your Holy character. You only use Your power to hold the wicked accountable and protect the righteous. Please guide us to seek You first for the help and protection we need. Our lives seem so unsafe to us. Please remind us of Your strength and how You use it.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.
