Today I Pray…

Dear Lord,

I love you! I need you! I worship you! I praise your holy name. I start my day with you, and I end my day with you!

I am yours, and I wish to do what is right, but I often wonder what is going on. I pray this morning for truths, for answers to the questions that allude to my understanding.

I pray that darkness in my world be brought to light, whether it be a darkness lurking in the shadows or the darkness within. I wish to walk in your light Lord Jesus because you know I am afraid of the dark!

Discernment Lord, I pray for the ability to see all sides of situations and make the correct decisions. I overthink; I feel too much only to find I often don’t feel enough. I ask for direction, Lord, lead me down the path you have for me, open the doors to the plans for the future.

Continue Lord Jesus to grow within me; your word and ways becoming my ways. To walk in peace, my spirit and heart at rest. To choose the path of shaded green, beautiful flora, and splashing streams.

To wear your glasses of rose, where the world has a tinge of pink to it and joy overrides anger and frustration. To live in your world, Jesus! I long for the promises of the new world when heaven and earth join and become one. Where you reign, Lord our Savior, a world of love, no more death, no illnesses, no bullies, no meanness, no destruction, and no more wars.

So until that day, Lord, I thank you for surrounding those of us who belong to you with your loving arms and for carrying us in your loving hands. In your name Lord, Jesus, I pray with humble thanksgiving. Amen
