MY PRAYER!
Matthew 6:7-8
And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Recently a reader sent me a prayer he uses on a daily basis. I have begun to use it and find it very beneficial. Using that sample prayer has prompted me to create a prayer that is somewhat easier for me to use. I will share it with you.
Dear Heavenly Father,
I praise and glorify Your Holy name. Thank You for sending Your one and only Son, Jesus, into the world. Thank You offering eternal salvation to and any who receive Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord.
I pray that You will open the Scriptures to me so that I may discover the living truth of Your Word. Let my eyes be drawn to the truths you want me to discover. I pray that You open my mind to understand the things in Your Word that You want me to understand.
I pray that the Holy Spirit guide me and give me the strength to accomplish the things You desire to do through me. I pray that I may become less and less and that You become more and more in my life.
In Jesus name I pray. Amen
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
