One of my morning devotions sparked the desire to send a prayer with you today.
Dear Lord My Father in Heaven,
I come to you this morning with love, respect, and intercession. I feel the need to say a prayer, and I thank you for always being there and listening when we come to you.
I lift to you those who are fearful right now, this time of year, this season of love; sadly, it often brings much worry and sorrow. I pray for the parent trying to stretch the few meager dollars to put something under the tree for their little ones. I pray for the many who have lost their jobs, hours have been cut back, and paychecks aren’t enough. I pray that those more fortunate will feel the tug on their hearts to open their wallets for the many toy and food drives.
I lift to you, Lord, those who have lost their jobs, unemployment hasn’t been a benefit, or the services are about to end with no job prospects. I lift up those who are behind on their rent or mortgages and ask you to give them peace amongst the stress. I lift up those who are in search or need of a home, who might be sleeping in their cars, streets or a necessary move quickly approaching. Lord, I pray you will open their eyes to the paths and direction you would have them go. Open doors and provide roofs.
I lift all of the sick and tired. The many who are sick and tired of being sick and tired. The ones who live with pain every day, and that’s their normal. I ask you to increase their strength, relieve them of their physical burdens. Speak gently to them in their hurting times, soar with them in the healthy times. Help them to know that You Lord Jesus died for them, by the stripes tore across your skin; they are healed. Help them to believe. I lift those who are trapped in fear of the virus lurking outside their doors.
I lift to you, Lord, all the lonely and alone. Thank you for the patience in those who are waiting and trusting in you for their Christian mate. I ask you to show those who are lonely the many volunteer organizations they could get involved in, blessing others, being around people, to be a blessing, you then become blessed. Send someone with an invitation to a church program or service, that they would feel the love and community. Give that extra boost to the one who feels the need to reach out but can’t quite get off the fence. Just a little push!
Most of all, Lord, I pray that as we are mindful of the greatest gift ever given, and that is your Son, Jesus Christ. I pray that those who don’t know him as their Lord and Savior will confess their sins and ask Him to come into their hearts and lives and spend eternity with them. Those who already know you, that their faith deepens and your spirit washes over them today in a tidal wave of hope, love and warmth.
I love you, Lord, and I thank you for sending your ministering, guardian, and warring Angels out to love and assist. In your glorious name Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen
I hope you will receive this prayer; it was for you. Be blessed today! Be a Blessing today and as always, thank you for joining me. 🥰
