Today I Pray…

Dear Lord Our Father In Heaven, Holy is your beautiful name, and blessed are we by your presence in our lives.

We turn to you on this day, Lord, asking for your powerful presence to be made known in our world. I pray for those of us who haven’t ushered you from our government, schools, churches, and lives. Yes, churches, as many are preaching what the masses demand to hear rather than what your Holy Word is.

Lord, hold us in your mighty hands and direct our steps. Please, help us to hear and know the truth. The media and masses are screaming so they are heard but we know you are in the quiet truth; let the truth ring loudly above the lies.

Father, the prices of living have risen so high that many can’t afford to live! Thank you for your comfort, thank you for the many who work in the pantries, food kitchens, and shelters.

Thank you for your grace and favor, helping us to stretch our dollar, supplying our needs with a little left over to share, and giving us a heart to share!

Kindness, Lord, fill our spirits with your spirit, that we might look upon the world with kindness toward the lost, the lonely, and those who look and appear different from us. Please, Lord, help us not to judge, help us not to condemn those who appear already condemned.

Compassion, Lord, bless those who tirelessly work on behalf of the forgotten. The ones who walk the streets checking on the unseen, the smelly, the addicts, the unmedicated, and the angry. Fill each of us Lord, with your compassion.

Help us Lord to have eyes that see beyond the casual glimpse. Help us to hear the silent cries for help. Help our hands to reach out and touch, our feet to carry us along your path of deliverance.

Be with us your chosen, help us to represent you and to represent you correctly. We, humbly ask you Lord for the ability to be the light in someone’s darkness, a hand to hold in someone’s fear, and a word of hope and encouragement in someone’s despair.

In your glorious name, we pray, with humble thanksgiving for your love and presence in our lives. We give you all the praise and all the glory. Amen 😌❤️
