Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us a hope that “does not disappoint”. We struggle with the challenges of life and need Your love. Thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit. We do not comprehend how wonderful the presence of the Holy Spirit is. I praise You!
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You “that Christ died for all”. I am convinced we don’t fully know what that means. Please help us to live for Jesus Christ and not ourselves. We are learning how wonderful living for the Christ really is.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your goodness and loyal love. We pray for Your deliverance. Rescue us from the enemies who want to silence us. Then we will be able to continue our declaration of Your goodness.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the hope You give. We rejoice in the comfort hope provides. Please help us to persevere though the difficulties we face. We come to You in prayer. Please help us to remain dedicated to prayer as You have commanded. We know Your commands are always right.
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”.
It is rare that we can legitimately use terms like always and never. We sometimes use those terms when we are frustrated with things that don’t seem to be going well. One time we can use the term always is in regards to God’s faithfulness. I am so thankful that despite my lack of faithfulness, God is still faithful. This gives me daily hope.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You so much for Your faithfulness. I am grateful that You remain faithful despite my lack. The hope You provide is so needed for the challenges we face. Please help us to cling to Your faithfulness and remember that hope.
