Prayer for today

Today I give thanks to the Living God who has created and formed with His hands we who are human. We are created in God’s image. Even though we have fallen and no longer who we were created to be or should be God has made every effort to return us to who we should be.

I pray my family and friends will discover and enjoy Your love and forgiveness. I love you oh God. I’m praying You will help them see your presence and love which surrounds them. May they discover a life that glorifies you and fulfills and brings joy to their life.

Around the world there are so many to cry out in fear and in anger. Many do not know what they need or indeed Who they need. Some are unwilling to come to You and discover Your Love. Out of fear, anger, or Pride they cannot or will not come to you. Break through their darkness and fear Lord and open them to Your Light and Your love.

Once again God I hear the cries and the screams of so many. Even as they throw their fists at you God their souls cry out for deliverance and for hope. Make them aware of these cries so they may come to You and find Your light as protection against the darkness of hell.

So many scream because they live in their own hell. They have been abused, used treated people more like meat then as a human being. They are sold, their bodies are sold for more purposes then I can even imagine. But you oh God who loves them knows every pain and every fear and every tear.

You also know the hearts of those who abuse and use those home are in their power. You care for them God and cry out to them and offer hope as You do to those they abused.

I cannot understand this. How can I understand a love so deep and so amazing. How can I understand a love which cares about those I struggle not to hate. I cannot understand it. Just as I cannot understand how you care about me.

I pray for your church, your body upon this Earth and throughout eternity. I pray we would be empowered by Jesus the Living Word to understand the Bible which is the Your written word. Help us to understand that only in the Bible can You reveal the Living Word Jesus Christ. Help us to understand that even in the Bible we see just a reflection of who You are God.

I would pray for the denominations and the country I live in but I do not know what to pray at all. Are you using this time difficulty and pain to call us back to you. Is this a teachable moment or is it a destructive attempt of the evil one? So as I pray in everything let your will be done, amen which means so be it.

Father I know but I I am a failure to my family and to you. I know I have once again crucified your Son, Jesus Christ. I know that I no longer am part of the body of Christ and no longer look to be with You. But I still pray for those You place on my heart. Please hear this prayer even though from a lost one.
