A Prayer Formed From Psalm 123 and Other Bible Readings From Today

         Lord Jesus, you are the Word of God, the Messiah of God, the Lamb of God, the Son of God, the King of Israel, the Son of Man; and we praise you, our God, our Master, our Savior, our King, our Redeemer, our Warrior, our Life. Hallelujah.
         When we think about who you are and your great love for us, and we are ashamed because we know our sins; they are ever before us. We confess our sins for what they are; what we once were, but not now. We have been born from above, of the Spirit, in Christ, by the will of the Father. We may have sinned, but we are forgiven and righteous in your eyes. Thank you, God, for your great, great love and the eternal gift of yourself in Christ, for new life in him.
         We are your servants, with our eyes on your face and hands, ready to carry out your will on earth. We repent of being lazy servants. We are ready today for your word and are waiters and waitresses, waiting upon you and the opportunities you will give to share your love with others. Fill us with the Holy Spirit for the discernment needed to know who, when, where, and how you desire to receive your love today.
         Dear Lord, there are many we know who are suffering like Job having lost loved ones, health, property, hope. Bring to our minds those individuals today so that we may bring them before you in prayer. Be their strength, their hope, their healing, their provision today, O God, we pray. Keep them in your hand. Don’t allow the accuser to kill, steal, or destroy them. Restore what the enemy has stolen and may their faith multiply in the midst of the trial.

         I also pray today for…may your will be done for your glory; in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray. AMEN.
