A Prayer for Today: August 13, 2009

Heavenly Father,

We are grateful to serve a loving, forgiving, healing God. Living in this world, where families are struggling, would be so much more difficult without Your presence and power in our lives. We have all had “fair-weathered” family and friends – those who abandon or desert us during our darkest days. Praise God that You, Lord, will never desert us. Hold onto our hands tightly, Lord, as we make our ways through this journey called life.

Forgive us our trespasses and remind us to always forgive those who trespass against us. For those who have deserted us, hurt us, gossiped about us, or hurt us in any other ways; we forgive them today and everyday. Storing unforgiveness in our hearts, minds and souls will only harm us and separate us from His very near presence, peace, and answers to prayers.

With our hearts and hands pure and cleansed, we approach Your throne with the requests that are most important to us, Precious Father. May we each search our hearts today and lay these vital requests before You.

We ask that You will preserve Larry’s life as he will receive 5-7 bypasses in his upcoming open heart surgery. Place the perfect personnel to perform this surgery. Encompass his family with Your perfect peace.

Our needs are numerous, yet nothing is too difficult for You, Precious Lord.

In Jesus’ Name, we pray and praise. AMEN.
