Prayer for Wednesday
June 18th, 2008 by Cass -- Posted in Prayer |Lord, please be with us today. I know that I know that I know, You are already on the other side of the situations that prevail in our lives right now. But it’s hard right here in the middle of it. We need Your firm and guiding Presence today to keep us uplifted and on track. Lord, You are marvelous. Lord, You are Good. Lord, you are Love. We can only love because You have loved us.
Father, I am going to specifically pray for my aunt today. Lord, please be a constant Companion to her today. I know You always are, but today, especially, the storms of life assail her.Father, I wish I could have known what and who made those two women what they are. Three, if You count the one who is already with You. I think it has something to do with the Love.
I really try hard not to pray for people to get what they deserve, because I certainly do not want what I know I deserve, but please spank that uncle of mine into semi-decent behavior for just a little while, so that will be one less thing for Aunt to deal with.
Lord, be with those who woke up to devastation this morning. It seems like years of work were washed away. At the same time, we know that the land will be more fertile for years to come. Preserve life, Dear Lord, because everything else is replaceable.
Lord, be with Ang. today, as she tries to reclaim he house. She’s been working on sandbags and such, and things have slipped a bit. Keep her focussed, Father. I pray the same for myself. I’m having a hard time concentrating, and I am getting overwhelmed. Lord, there comes a point that we can do no more. That’s hard to accept, but we are both at that point. Help us to admit that, and just do the next thing. It still amazes me how parallel You have made our lives. It amazes me that there is always one of us able to pray. You amaze me.
Father, I thank You also for the specific examples you have set before me in the past few months: life and death, blessing and cursing, water and vinegar, love and indifference. I want to choose life. I want to bless. I want to be water. I want love. I want You.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
