A Prayer for Today: March 25, 2010

Heavenly Father,

Thank You, Father for being our Savior. Where would we be without You and the promise of eternal life? Life here on earth would be so desperate without that Eternal Hope. Thank You for sacrificing Your Son Jesus on the cross for our sins. May we never take that sacrifice lightly. Let us, during this Lenten season, reflect on Your Sacrifice and the precious, priceless gift of salvation that Jesus died for on our behalf.

If someone has not yet confessed his or her sins and asked for Your forgiveness and promise of eternal life, I pray today will be that day. Then and only then, will the heartache and sin of yesterday be replaced with the hope and forgiveness of today. For each of us who have made this commitment to serve You and to seek Your forgiveness for our sins and failures, forgive us if we have become nonchalant about this Great Gift, Lord.

Be especially near to those families who have lost a loved one and who are still grieving. Comfort them, Father. Replace their hopelessness with optimism. Impart divine wisdom to each doctor and researcher studying this disease. For many of us, we need a medical breakthrough. You are able. For those struggling with family decisions and difficulties, guide them and encourage them. Allow treatment to be given to fellow leukemia fighters with the fewest side effects possible. Allow our lives to reflect You in whatever we say, whatever we do, and wherever we go, Lord.

You are our Everything. In Jesus’ Name I pray. AMEN.
