Father God,
We delight in You, Lord. You are that One steady hand in all of our life storms. You are ever-present and always loving. Help each of us to be the same - ever-present in Your presence, not distracted or too busy to sit at Your feet and praise You. Help us to be ever-present to help the hurting people we encounter. Never let our own problems override our abilities to help those in our lives. May we be always loving. Our own pain, disappointments, and challenges are not excuses for us to stop loving. Proverbs 8:17 instructs us: “I love those who love me and those who seek me diligently will find me.”
Forgive us, Father, if our seeking has not been sincere or if we have become negligent about seeking you. We are truly sorry, Lord, when we try to take our lives into our own hands and fail to diligently seek You. Holy Spirit, be our daily prompter. Prompt our hearts to love more and our time to be more wisely spent seeking You and Your Will for our lives.
We rejoice at the victories so many have shared. We marvel at the answered prayers we have seen You supply. Yet, others remain burdened and bowed down with treatment challenges and decisions. Some are battling life threatening infections. Others need financial provision during these difficult economic times. Supply each physical need, Lord, but more importantly, I beseech You to perform the spiritual changes in lives that are needed – for the spiritual concerns are far more important than any physical request we might have. May our lives be used to reflect You to those who do not know You as their Lord and Savior.
To God be the glory.In Jesus’ Name I pray. AMEN.
