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.

Pray the Bible

I want to keep working on praying passages of Scripture. I know that we need to keep biblical principle in mind when we pray, but God gives us words that we can say in talking to Him. This passage shares what the apostle Paul was praying for the Philippian believers. I want to pray the same thing for the believers I know.

Dear Heavenly Father, please help us to continue to learn Your word to increase our love for You and others. Please guide us in wisdom so we can make the best choices to honor You and be “pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.”

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.
