OUR HEAVENLY FATHER
You know us - every thought and every action. Nothing is hidden from you. We marvel at Your creation and Psalm 8 is true: 'What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of (earth born) man that You care for him? Yet You have made him but a little lower than God (or heavenly beings), and You have crowned him with glory and honor.' You are awesome and precious and we want to sing Your praises - let everything that has breath praise the Lord! As we begin to worship You and focus on You, everything else fades into the background...
Today Lord, we need You. Without You we are nothing and we can do nothing. But with You we are more than conquerers. You are our HOPE and our LIFE. As little children we want to come to You and lay our needs before You. You said that we should be anxious about NOTHING but pray about EVERYTHING. We want to pray for those who are alone, or ill, in dire straits, or jobless. You are the Provider and nothing is impossible for You. Help us to believe that You have great things in mind for every single one of us. We need a special touch from You today.
Father, You know how many parents are worried about their children - who just want the best for them but their children don't understand that. You are our heavenly Father and understand that, please hear our prayers for our children today. May every child get to know You and have a relationship with You.
Comfort the lonely, strengthen the weak and provide for the poor. Help us to meet a need when we see one. We want to look around us for opportunities to show the world what You look like. Forgive us for being poor examples of who You are. You said that we will have difficult times on earth but that we will never be alone. I pray for every person reading this - wherever they are - that You will be their Provider, Protector, Comforter and Friend.
Dear God, we pray for all the different countries of the world, their governments and institutions. May Your Name be honored everywhere and Your face be sought over all the earth. May You be especially near those who are being persecuted for the sake of Your Name. Strengthen them and help them to remember that You love them and see their hurt.
We ask all of this in the Name of Jesus.
