A Daily Prayer

 Father God, You physically reign in a place invisible to my eyes while Your Spirit with its invisible qualities is at work deep within my heart.  Though I cannot see You I recognize Your masterful handiwork. Though I cannot touch You I feel Your divine presence.  Only a God like You is great enough to mastermind the universe, yet small enough to live within my heart.  Father, You have made Your wonders to be remembered and appreciated. You are gracious and compassionate;  Your presence is seen and felt everywhere.  I acknowledge You as the Creator of the universe and the Light of my life, for You are my Lord and Master from eternity past to all eternity future.  Amen.

Father, I thank You for the great deliverance and transfer that took place when I surrendered my heart to You.  You delivered me from the dominion of darkness and transferred me into the Kingdom of Your Son in whom I have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.  Now I walk in the light of Jesus and His kingdom which is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Help me never to forget the great rescue and change You brought into my life.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.

Father, we know Your love because You first loved us. You gave Your one and only Son to die for our sins so that we would not perish but spend eternity in heaven with You. As our roots grow down into Your love we gain strength, understanding, and maturity. Though we cannot grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, we can respond in love to You. Just as we rely on the love You have for us, may You find our love consistent and reliable. In the name of Jesus we pray.  Amen.

Father, we are so grateful for the rope holders who’ve helped pull us out of despairing situations.  Those who have given us an uplifting message, interceded in prayer on our behalf, given of their time and expertise to help us in our dilemma.  We too want to be a rope holder and offer a word of encouragement, be a listening ear, and extend tender compassion and mercy to one in need.  Help us to be Your hand extended to those in need we pray.  Amen.

Father, we do extol Your work and praise You with our lips, with our voice and with our devotion to follow You all the days of our lives.  We stop and consider Your great wonders and mighty works as we acknowledge You to be the Creator of all things.  Your ways are perfect and beyond human understanding.  It is all the more reason why we must rely on Your guidance and not lean on our own understanding.  Today we acknowledge You in all our ways and ask You to direct our paths and increase our understanding in the name of Jesus.  Amen.

Father, thank You for Jesus who came that we might have life and have it in abundance.  We’re grateful for Your grace that teaches us to say no to ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.  We’re thankful that Jesus gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for Himself a people that are His very own.  We realize that the one who sows to please the sinful nature from that nature reaps destruction, therefore we choose to sow to please the spiritual nature and from that nature reap eternal life.  Keep us faithful in doing so.  Amen.

See John 10:10; Titus 2:12,14;  Galatians 6:8,

Father, we thank You for the way You bless Your people.  You richly provide for our needs and supply us with hope that is not diminished by the circumstances of this world.  We want to share from our spiritual and material abundance so that we lay up treasure for ourselves in the eternal life that is promised to all believers.  Make us aware of opportunities to enrich others with the blessings we receive from You. In Jesus’ name we pray.  Amen.
