Prayer is an amazing gift.
The opportunity to talk to God Himself.
And it is so important to not only start your day with God in prayer but also to end it with prayer.
Pray with me.
Lord, I thank you for another day that You have given me.
Thank you for taking me under Your wing and protecting me.
You are my strength and my shield.
I trust You with all of my heart and soul because Your steadfast love is better than life.
I will always praise You with my lips for You are my God, my Savior, my Comforter, my Refuge,
my Provider, my Creator, my Father, and my everything.
Your greatness is unsearchable.
And You are far beyond my comprehension,
but if it pleases you, Lord, reveal yourself to me more, and more.
And just like David, who are so close to your heart, I ask you, Father, search me and know my heart.
Try me and know my thoughts.
And see if there is any grievous way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.
Lord, I know that my time is limited here on earth,
but help me to use it effectively, for Your glory, until You call me home.
Let Your word dwell within me richly.
And guide me through your Spirit to help other people with wisdom and insight,
but at the same time, let me always put You first in my life.
Father, I care more about what You think about me than what other people think of me.
People they do not always understand me, but You do because You created me.
You formed my inward parts.
You knitted me together in my mother's womb, and I praise You,
because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Lord, your works are wonderful, and my soul knows it very well.
I see it when I look at all creation, the stars at night shining brightly for all to see.
The power and light of the sun, the animals running and living on your earth, and all the fish in the ocean.
Lord, You created it all with only Your Word.
You are mighty, and still, You love me, Your child.
How can I ever thank You enough?
I cannot even begin to put it into words.
Thank you, God.
Lord, I also thank you for my family. Forgive me that I do not always appreciate them enough.
Protect each and every one of them.
Lord, and more importantly, show them your perfect plan for their lives and help them to walk in it.
I also pray the same for all my friends who I love so dearly.
Oh God, thank you for all of them.
This life can be tough at times, but my brothers and sisters in Christ definitely make it better.
And then I also know that I do not have to fear the day of tomorrow because fear is not from you.
And you will be with me, wherever I go.
So, I will be strong, and courageous, because if you are for me, who can be against me?
You, Lord, are a light to my feet,
and you are able to do immeasurably more than all I can ask for or even imagine.
According to Your power that is at work within me, I can do all things through You that strengthens me.
So, here I am, Lord, use me for Your glory.
You are the potter and I the clay, for me and change me as You will.
Because I do not look at the things that are seen but at the unseen.
And I don't want to lay up for myself's treasures on this temporary world, but treasures in heaven.
Lord, I do not want to waste my life.
I want to live a purpose-driven life that is set on you, to walk in your will,
and to accomplish that which you have planned for me, for my life.
And even if I have to go through tough times, I will not lose heart.
Although my outer self is slowly wasting away, my inner self, my spirit, is being renewed day by day.
I'm growing stronger in you.
For this light momentary affliction,
is preparing for me an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.
I am slowly starting to see Your big plan more and more each day.
And God, the more you reveal Yourself to me, the more my love grows for You.
Thank you for loving me and for keeping Your promises.
I know You will never let me down, and nothing can separate me from Your love.
Keep watch over me, keep protecting me, keep showing me Your perfect plan.
I will follow you until the end of my days until you take me home.
I love you.
