Today I Pray

Dear Lord, Our Father In Heaven,

We begin this new week of a new month of a new season with you. I know the official date of summer hasn’t arrived but the summer month has and that’s close enough for me.

I want to thank you Lord; thank you for always being with us and our families. I thank you for being with everyone who reads this prayer.

Psalm 100:4 reminds us to: “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.”

So, we shall!

Thank you, Lord, for being the author of our lives. As we put our trust in you Lord we walk freely of the fear, dread, and worry of tomorrow. We might not know what tomorrow holds but we know who holds it!

Thank you for understanding. Often we feel deeper than our words can express; thank you for knowing our hearts and what we’re trying to say.

Thank you for seeing! You see that which we offer in love! You see our triumphs and failures, hopes, dreams, and fears! You see behind doors we cannot! You see that which is good and that which is evil. You see the motives; You see the heart! We put our trust in you because you see!

Thank you for hearing! Thank you for always being there when we need to talk. Thank you for being there when we need to be quiet. Thank you for hearing what we can’t verbalize, thank you for continuing to listen when we babble on. Thank you for being in our reflecting, pondering, and prayers.

Thank you for your wisdom! Thank you for walking before us, leading us down the path you have deemed for us. Thank you that we are intuned to your Holy Spirit and your word. Thank you for the sense to follow your lead and not rely on our misguided wanderings.

Thank you, Lord, for breaking apart and diminishing any darkness in our world and shedding your beautiful light upon us!

Thank you daily Lord for your protection and provision for us and ours. Thank you for always being with us and ours.

Today I claim this verse for all who spend time in Sunshine;

2 Thessalonians 3:16 NLT: “Now may the Lord of Peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all.”

And on that perfect note, I close with humble thanksgiving in and for your beautiful name Lord Jesus, I commit this prayer. Amen 😌
