A Prayer for Today: November 19, 2008

Heavenly Father,

We come before You on bended knee. It is humbling to be in Your presence. To be able to approach the King of Kings and the Lord of Lord with our prayers and petitions is such an honor and privilege. I don’t know where we would be without You, Father. We praise You with our whole hearts.

Father, forgive us for the sins we commit and when we become wayward children. Our flesh lures us to thoughts and deeds that are not pleasing to You. Strengthen our spirits so that we are able to rise against sinful thoughts and deeds. Help us not to be led into temptation but deliver us from evil.

We long to be more like You, Precious Father. Let us be lovers of mankind and of our enemies. Give us your compassion for those less fortunate than us. Equip us to be ministers of the Gospel, wherever our feet might take us. Remind us that even in the chemotherapy room, we can be a light and a witness for You and Your Word. Let us be bold and forthright with sharing Your Message with a lost world.

We are a people in need, Lord. My mind cannot even remember all of these requests, but I know that you know each need. James 5:15 instructs us: “And the prayer of faith will save the sick…” I pray for all those battling cancer.

We are forever grateful for Your listening ear and Your concern for each of us. Father, we love You and praise Your Holy Name. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
