Prayer For Today
Father God, I know that the life-path I am treading is fraught with difficulties and problems but Lord, I trust You to lead and guide me through the maze of life, because You have promised to be with me to lead and to guide, to strengthen and to help.
Let me never lose sight of who I am in Christ and help me to trust You in all things, knowing that I am Your child, and that greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.
Thank You that You are my Shepherd, Who has promised to lead and to guide, to protect and to uphold. Thank You that You are my Defence and my Defender and that You have promised to be my ever-present help in those times of unexpected difficulties and trials.
Thank You, Lord, that You remain faithful and dependable, even when I stray from the path that You have graciously laid out for me. May I never forget that You are my firm Anchor and the steady Rock upon which I stand, and that no difficulty in life is to great that You cannot overcome. Thank You in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, I bow my knee before You in prayer and praise. Lead and guide me today in all I say and do. May I walk in spirit and truth today and be sensitive to Your gentle guidance.
Help me I pray, to fix my eyes on the Lord Jesus, knowing that without Him I will quickly stray from the path that is best for me. Lord, I believe that You have scheduled every day of my life and I do not want to stray from the path that You would have me take.
Help me to be faithful to You and to willing go along the path of Your choosing, knowing that it may conflict with my own desires and wishes. Develop in me a heart that delights to do Your will, so that the longings of my heart are brought into line with Your plans and purposes and Your will for my life.
Let my eyes always be looking to You and keep me from looking at the storms and difficulties of life, knowing that You are with me to lead and guide and to uphold to Your praise and glory.
Thank You that Jesus is the Way and the Truth and the Life and I desire to be only guided by Him. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Dear Lord, I do thank You for a night of refreshing sleep this past night and thank You for waking me up on the dawning of this new day. Be present with me throughout the day I pray. Strengthen and keep me from all evils and dangers help me to walk worthy of the calling, wherewith I have been called.
If there are burdens, I pray that You will carry them for me and if there are decisions to be made I pray that You would give me the discernment and wisdom I need to make the best choices. If there is busyness in the day I pray that it will not deflect me away from relying on You as I ought.
If there is anyone that You bring into my path today, I pray that You would give me the words and wisdom to say what is needed to be said as well as the sense to know when to be silent. Lord, into Your hands I place my day. Go before me I pray, stay with me each minute of the day and keep me safe under the shadow of Your wings. May You be glorified in my life today so that when people look at me they see no one but Jesus in me. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for bringing me safely to the beginning of this new day. Thank You for keeping me safe through the night, and I pray that today may be a day where I live and move and have my being in You. Lord, I pray that the words that come from my mouth, the thoughts that are formed in my heart and the motives behind all my actions, words and thoughts may be pleasing in Your sight and honouring to Your name.
Lord, I pray that You would be both my guide and my restrainer in all I do and say today, so that my words and deeds are not a work of my own flesh but are guided by the promptings of Your Holy Spirit. Help me Lord, to walk in spirit and truth, and keep me today so that my eyes are looking to Jesus and my ears are open to Your still small voice. Oh Lord, I pray that You are glorified in all I do.
Keep me I pray from all temptations, and deliver me from all the evils of the day. May today be a day when I learn more of You, so that I may grow in grace and in a knowledge of my Lord and Saviour. Help me therefore, to walk humbly before You all the days of my life. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Father, as I face another busy day I thank You that You have promised to be with me always, to lead and guide to comfort and sustain, to uphold and strengthen. Lord, I pray that although my life is one of much activity that You would take first place and that in all that I do and may I willingly submit to Your gracious leading and guidance.
Help me to live today in all its fullness, and enable me to take every opportunity to live and walk as You would have me do. Teach me Lord, to be a servant today and develop in me that gracious spirit of humility that was so evident in the Lord Jesus. Create in me a clean heart oh Lord, and develop in me a generous and giving spirit that is pleasing to Your heart. Lord, in everything today may I be ready and willing to say, not my will but Thine be done. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Dear Lord, we will face many terrifying events throughout this life, but may we never forget that the ultimate victory belongs to you. Through your sacrifice, death has been defeated. As we continue to walk in your truth, help us to set our eyes on Heavenly things.
Amen.
Lord our God, bring us together as one. Give us your Spirit so that we may know you, so that joy may fill our hearts, not only for ourselves but also for others. Root out evil from the earth. Sweep away all that offends you, all lying, deceit, and hate between nations. Grant that all people may come to know you, so that disunity and conflict may be swept away and your eternal kingdom may arise on earth and we may rejoice in it. For your kingdom can come to people even while on earth to bring them happiness and to make them your own children. Yes, Lord God, we want to be your children, your people, held in your hand, so that your name may be honored, your kingdom may come, and your will be done on earth as in heaven. Amen.
Lord our God,
With all our hearts we come before Your countenance. Our hearts shall always be in Your presence, asking, longing, and believing that You will guide our affairs aright. Protect us, for You are our God and Father. Protect all who are in danger or who must go into danger. Make known Your great love and Your living presence to the hearts of the dying. Draw our hearts together so that we may have community in You, our faith and hope set on You alone. Protect us during the night, and help us to be at peace about all our concerns because they are in Your hands. Every concern of every person is in Your hands. We ourselves are in Your hands, Lord God, our Father, and there we want to remain. Your hands can heal and restore everything.
Praised be Your name!
Amen.
