Bible Verse of The Day – 10-4-24

Luke 5:16 (NKJV) 16 So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.

Jesus clearly demonstrated the importance of taking time away from the noise and busyness of everyday life to pray and commune with the Father.

He even spoke a model prayer for people to hear and learn from, so they would not pray amiss, ritualistically, lacking guidance.

With that in mind, let us pray together today.

Father, we lift your name on high. You are above all else, and You are worthy of our praise and honor. Let our lives glorify You in all that we say and do.

We ask You today to forgive us for our shortcomings. Teach us to walk in Your ways, always putting you first in the choices we make.

We pray today for our enemies, for those who persecute us or wish us harm. We ask you to forgive them and touch their hearts with Your Spirit, drawing them to You, that they may embrace You and seek You with their whole hearts.

And we pray also for our government officials. May Your hand be upon them, and may they govern by Your truth and Your standards of righteousness, not by coercion, fear, or corrupt tactics.

Lord, we ask You to supply our needs, that we might have what is necessary to live; food, clothing, and shelter. And teach us to be content in our situations, looking solely to You for those things we need.

And we pray today for those who are alone; the widows, the orphans, the poor, the sick. We ask You to place Your hand on their lives and lift them up, letting them feel Your touch, that they might also draw near to You, trusting You with their needs and their lives.

We thank You, mighty God, for the blessings in our own lives. We thank You for Your provision. We thank You for Your mercy and Your grace over our lives.

We thank You for the blood of Christ, which makes us whole. And we thank You for the salvation You give freely to anyone who will accept it.

Let our lives be a blessing to You, God, shining Your light for all to see, and leading them to You.

We ask these things today in the mighty, precious name of Jesus Christ.

Amen
