Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the prayers You recorded for us in Your Word. Thank You for examples of faithful servants who lived love as You commanded. Please help us to learn from the examples we have seen. I pray that our faith and love will “deepen our understanding of every blessing that belongs to us in Christ.” We know You give blessings, but I wonder if we sometimes miss them. May others be encouraged by the love we show to one another.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank Your for choosing me. I can say with Isaiah, “You are my God.”
I ask for salvation for those who cannot say that. Please guide me to praise You so others will know who You are. Help me to know what to say, but to remember to leave the results to You.
May Your name be praised!
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, we often do not have endurance to continue the race. Thank You for the “cloud of witnesses” You tell us about in Your Word. Please help us to remove the obstacles that get in the way of running the race You have chosen for us. Please remind us to look to Jesus who started and perfects the faith. Thank You that Jesus endured the horrors of death on a cross for us. He deserves to sit “at the right hand of the throne of God”.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
