Today I Pray

Dear Lord Our Father In Heaven,

I feel the need to pray this morning, but the world feels so big and out of whack that my measly prayer feels redundant!

However, if everyone of us who prays felt this way and stopped where would we be? Holy Spirit, I ask that you be with me as I pray this prayer.

Lord, there is so much going on in the world today that it’s getting hard to keep up with the calamities, killings, war zones, terror, illnesses, depravity, destruction, and death tolls within the headlines of our daily news.

Darkness has penetrated our vast societies in a manner we’ve never witnessed before, and prophecy tells us it will only worsen.

As man becomes more prominent within himself, he makes you smaller, to where you barely exist within humanity. Yet, they cry, “How could God allow such a thing?” You are only allowing what they are asking for!

Bit by bit, Lord, you are being removed, and chaos is left in the halls we walk! The infrastructure is cracking, and big breaks are starting to show. The world appears blind as they stumble around, groping within all this darkness.

Lord, give us your children a boldness we’ve never had! Please give us your wisdom and direction. I ask that there be strength in our voices, that they be heard above the roar, and that our examples be seen!

Lord, let the light of you within us shine ever so brightly against this backdrop of grey. Help us, Lord, to spread your words of peace and love like a warm blanket to those shivering in the cold war of aloneness or brokenness left in the wake of addiction or action.

The people of this world are hurting, and the need is so great! Lord, help us to open our eyes to the needs around us and to provide what we can when we can.

Lord, I know we can’t fix everyone and everything because not everyone wants to be fixed. Please help us to concentrate on what you place in front of us at any given moment and to take one day at a time.

Thank you for reminding us to take one day at a time because today has enough woes, and tomorrow will work itself out, well, tomorrow.

Thank you, Lord, for your presence with us always. I place my hand in yours. Lead On! In your name, Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen 😌
