Daily Prayer For April 30, 2017

Sun Apr 30, 2017 3:07 pm

Hello, Friends! Here is the prayer for today…

Dear Heavenly Father,

Today we pray for our brothers and sisters around the world who are being persecuted for their faith…we lift up those who cannot pray, worship, or speak your name in public without risk of persecution, jail, or death…please intervene on their behalf …make a way where there seems to be no way for their deliverance…please help us to not take for granted our freedoms that allow us to worship freely, to gather together with other believers, to own a Bible and to speak your name and praises openly…

Please help us to empty ourselves of things that are not pleasing to you…purge us of things that cloud our vision and judgement…help us to take spiritual inventory to see where we need to change… we often have good intentions, yet we end up not doing what we need to do, and doing what we shouldn’t be doing…we want to spend more time with you…we want to read more…pray more…worship more…serve more… love better… be better …and then the next thing we know, we look back and see the road littered with good intentions that never became what we had hoped or envisioned…please help us to overcome and persevere and become the men and women you want us to be.

Please help us to let go of the “what ifs”, the “if onlys”, the regrets, the failures, the disappointments, the heartaches and all the things that we can’t change…help us not to waste another day beating ourselves up emotionally, mentally or spiritually…we can’t change the past, but things are not wasted if we can learn from them…help us to extract the lessons from the failures, regrets and pain…help us harvest what we can and let go of the rest so we can make the most of this day and all the days to come…help us to see all we have been through with your eyes…you know what we lack, what will motivate us, what will heal us, how to guide us…we ask for your help to live victoriously, to live confidently as your children, to enjoy the freedom you bought for us, to be full of your peace and aware of our blessings…

Father, help us to make the most of this day and all the days we have left…help us to be still at your feet and find rest in your presence…we surrender all that we are and all that we hope to be and ask for your will to be done. In the name of Jesus we ask these things. Amen

Praying blessings upon you!
