A Prayer for Today: July 8, 2009

Almighty God,

“God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth,” (John 4:24). We worship You, Lord, for You alone are truly worthy of our worship. You seek our worship, so let us not grow slack with our praises. Life is challenging, calendars are over-scheduled, yet prompt us to carve out the time each day to worship You. We love You and are so grateful for the love that You possess for each of us.

We humbly seek Your forgiveness, Father. However we have messed up this week, forgive us and help us to avoid repeating that snare of sin, whatever it might have been. Keep us alert to recognize when our thoughts or words are not pleasing to You, Lord. Turn us from darkness to light. James 3:2 reminds us, “For we all stumble in many things,”. Pick us up when we stumble and brush the dust off of us, Lord. We desire for our lives to be reflective of You.

You know the desires of each of our hearts. We trust You to orchestrate the details of our lives in ways that are in our best interest. We won’t cast off our confidence in You as it has great reward (Hebrews 10:35). Thank You for hearing our petitions that we utter.

In His precious and priceless Name – Jesus – I pray. AMEN.
