A Prayer for Today: January 14,2010

Precious Lord,

On this day, riddled with disaster and death in Haiti, and great suffering around all of us, remind us to praise You. The spirit of praise will lift the burden of heaviness in our hearts. You long to hear the praises of Your people. May each of us offer You words of thanksgiving and praise today (without looking at life circumstances).

Forgive us of our sins. I know that the practices of voodoo and other false religions are rampant in Haiti. And I know Your Word teaches us that ALL things can work together for GOOD for those Who LOVE you and are called according to Your purpose - open the blinded eyes of those in Haiti who have not known You. In the midst of disaster, draw these broken, hurting people unto You. Let each one seek You and Your gift of salvation. To see a nation saved for Your Kingdom and glory would make it all worth the suffering.

Do not let us give up our Hope in You, Father. Nothing is impossible - plant that truth deep in our spirits. Grant a special touch and measure of healing to those who are suffering in their bodies. Let our focus never rest on disease and disasters, let our focus always rest on You and Your Promises. When the world literally shakes to its core, let us not be shaken by anything that comes our way. We will love You and Praise You forever, dear Father.

In Jesus' Name I pray. AMEN. In Jesus' Mighty Name I pray. AMEN.
