Dear Jesus,
We praise you on this beautiful day. We have so much to be grateful for each and every day that we have breath in our lungs. Thank you for strengthening each of us and giving us courage to face the day. I praise you for your faithfulness to listen to the cries of Your children. You are ever-listening, all knowing and worthy to be praised!
I am reminded today of the Scripture, “But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].”
Today, Lord, I ask that you will increase our faith. Nothing is impossible for those of us who believe. Nothing. Healing from leukemia, deliverance from addictions, and restoration for families – all are possible for those who believe. So today, more than healing for our bodies, I ask that you will increase our faith. We long to be pleasing to You. Forgive us when we fail.
This Scripture also reminds us that you will reward those of us who “earnestly and diligently seek You”. Remind us each day to seek You – not so you can just answer our long lists of prayer requests and petitions, but help us to seek You just so that we can know You better and sense Your presence more strongly in our lives.
At times, our lives seem complicated as we battle this disease. But Your Word assures us that we have rewards awaiting us – heavenly rewards. Help us to cling to the hope of eternal rewards. Let us not become disheartened in our daily walks. Let circumstances not rob of us of our joy or our hope.
Jesus, Name above all names, we love you and praise you today. Thank you for the gift of life. We shall not die, but live and proclaim the works of the Lord.
In Your Precious Name I pray, Amen
