Our Father Prayer
“This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come,
your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation,[a] but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’
{Matthew 6:5-13 [NIV]}
APOD: A Prayer Of David
Hear me, Lord , and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Guard my life, for I am faithful to you; save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God; have mercy on me, Lord, for I call to you all day long. Bring joy to your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you. You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. Hear my prayer, Lord ; listen to my cry for mercy. When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me. Among the gods there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours. All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord; they will bring glory to your name. For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God. Teach me your way, Lord , that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths, from the realm of the dead. Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God; ruthless people are trying to kill me— they have no regard for you. But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. Turn to me and have mercy on me; show your strength in behalf of your servant; save me, because I serve you just as my mother did. Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, Lord , have helped me and comforted me.
{Psalm 86:1-17 [NIV]}
FOCUS ‘JESUS’ TODAY MORNING PRAYER
Dear LORD GOD, prepare me for this day.
Give me the senses and courage to meet all who come in my way, whether for help and encouragement or dispute and disarray.
Allow Your Holy Spirit to shine through me, so that all who see me will want to get to know your way (GOD’s WAY).
When the sick need healing, let Your healing power come down from heaven and touch them.
When the needy are seeking, provide food, clothing and shelter so that they too will know You are the provider of all things.
As I move comfortably with You, (1 Cor.13:4-8) today, let me be LOVING, PATIENT, KIND, ENCOURAGING, INSPIRING, HUMBLE, HONOURABLE, SELFLESS, JOYFUL, TRUTHFUL, PLEASANT, PEACEFUL, GENTLE, FAITHFUL, MEEK, COMPASSIONATE, and SUCCESSFUL.
Let me reassure the believers and convince the non-believers so that, when You COME AGAIN, we shall all rise to meet You and live, with You forever, in JESUS’ name.
Amen
