Daily Prayer For February 26, 2016

Sun Feb 28, 2016 10:35 pm

Hello, Friends! Here is the prayer for today…

Dear Father,

We lift up all who are living with uncertainty. When we go through trials and pain and grief, our world can feel like it’s in chaos…like we’re caught up in a destructive storm. Everything is a blur and nothing seems right. We can’t get our bearings. We can’t see clearly, or get a sense of when the storm will end, or what will be left standing after it’s over. It’s so hard to live in the moment, Lord. It’s hard to trust when everything seems upside down and out-of-place. Yet, that’s what you want us to do. You don’t want us to keep our eye on the storms and the destruction that they bring. You want us to keep our eyes on you. You want us not to worry or be fearful, but to trust that you have a plan.

Father, we are so imperfect. By nature, fear is our natural response, not faith. May we grow in you so we can reverse that. None of us knows what tomorrow may bring…we aren’t even guaranteed a tomorrow. Our world is constantly changing. What was known and comfortable seems to be slipping away… for many of us that is happening on multiple fronts. Help us to remember that no matter what is going on around us…no matter what changes take place…You are our one true constant in life. You are the compass that we can chart our course by. You are the Alpha and Omega. The Beginning and End. The Great, I AM and you hold us together as surely as you keep the earth spinning in place.We don’t have to know the outcome of things…or the reasons for things… we only need to know you.

Lord, help us to cling to you…the safest place we can be in any storm, is by your side. Help us not to rush ahead… or try to force an outcome that we want. Help us to rest in you…help us to wait on you to right the wrongs, to make the crooked paths straight, to lead and guide us to places of safety, security and healing.

Father, what we can’t do, you can. We give you our fears. We give you our grief. We give you our hurts and pain. We give you our insecurities and anxious thoughts. We give you our illnesses. We give you our troubled relationships. We give you all of our needs…we give you all of our questions and we just lay everything at your feet and ask for your peace. Help us to look to the one sure thing we can always count on and always rely on and that is you dear, Lord. Please go before us this day Father. In the name of Jesus we ask these things, Amen.

Wishing you a blessed weekend!
