A Prayer for Today: April 18, 2010

We celebrate You, today, Father … the Lord of our Salvation and Hope of our futures.

“This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24).

My heart leaps with joy when my eyes awaken to another day, Father. As Psalm 96 instructs us, enable and equip each of us to “proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day”. Those are our marching orders from You, Our Heavenly Father – remind us daily to go about Your Work of sharing the Gospel – allow our lives to preach the Gospel as clearly as Your Word teaches.

Forgive us of our sins and shortcomings. Enlighten us to the aspects of our individual lives that do not honor You, Lord. Make us and mold us into Your Almighty image.

Strengthen caregivers. Heal the infections that so many are battling. Allow those in treatment to be without complications. Restore families who are immersed in life struggles. Allow discoveries to be made speedily for the advancement of a cure for all of those battling cancer, diabetes and heart disease. For those who are losing this battle, continue to amaze the world with miracles that rescue and restore us. We ask for Your favor to rest upon each of us and our families.

Thank You, Lord, for the gift of life and the promise of life eternal with You, that is provided through our willingness to accept Christ into our lives. We are grateful.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name I pray. AMEN.
