Lord,
You are our rock and our salvation. I am forever grateful that You remain solidified, unchanging, and stalwart in our world of turmoil and upheaval. When everything shakes around us, the economy, the government, and relationships around the world, we can count on You alone to be consistent.
Remind us today and everyday, Father, that as Your children, we must keep our hearts pure and repentant before You. We must seek You and when we seek You, we will find You. We must be purposeful in our study of Your Holy Word. And as we do these things, we will become light to the sinful world around us. You will reveal Your plans and purpose to us. We will be confident that our prayers will be God-led and inspired as we pray for world, our country, and our families.
When we stray far from You and Your Word, we cannot be confident that we are praying as You would lead us to pray. The media, co-workers, unbelievers and doubters can influence us if we are not cautious. The enemy goes around like a roaring lion, seeking to devour us. Lord. Protect and preserve our bodies, minds, and spirits from learning toward the ways of this world. Your ways are higher than our ways. We may not understand all that is going on in our world and in our lives, but I am confident that You are all-knowing.
In the midst of turmoil in our world, let us not forget the great needs within the leukemia family. So many of us are hurting and struggling with our broken bodies. Father, we need a touch from You. Bring divine wisdom and understanding to the researchers and doctors seeking a leukemia cure. I rejoice that just today the human genome was unlocked for a leukemia patient. Our bodies are no mystery to You, our Creator. Eradicate infections from so many of our bodies. Pneumonia, pseudomonas, and other infections, be gone in the Name of Jesus! Help those of us who battle daily pain. I know you are able to touch this pain and restore our lives and bodies. We believe, Father, that we can turn to You in our times of need. Lord, I also ask that addictions of all types be replaced with a hunger for You instead of drugs or alcohol. Uplift and encourage all of our children and grandchildren as they, too, must wrestle with this the sadness and heartache of leukemia.
We can never, ever repay You for all that You have done on our behalf. Thank You for bearing our sins on Calvary. Thank You, for the promises of Your Word and the hope You give us to face tomorrow.
In Jesus’ Name I pray. AMEN.
