Dear God:
I praise You for who You are and the omniscient power You have over the earth and every living, breathing, being in it! I confess to You. Lord, the sins of my youth and pray that Your Holy Spirit will convict me, to stand against the evils of this world and prove myself worthy of Your Kingdom. When I fall short, I pray for Your Mercy. I thank you Father for Your Grace and Your Blessings in my life and in the lives of my family and friends. I pray Your Holy Spirit intercede on my behalf as I bring these requests before Your throne…
I’m lifting up all those who are sick or hurting today, asking for Your healing. I pray for all those who are imprisoned or enslaved, that they find freedom “In You” and “Through You”. I lift up those who are downcast and depressed, that they find living water for their souls and encouragement from Your Word. I pray for “ALL” the leaders You have put in place to govern our cities, our states, our nation and throughout the world; that they seek Your Counsel and that You Guide their hands to rule under Your Authority.
I pray for those struggling with addiction, that they can claim victory by giving You their burdens. I pray for all those who don’t know about You, Lord, to be given another opportunity to hear the good news of The Gospel and that is does NOT fall on deaf ears.
I Thank You and Praise You, Lord Jesus for everything You’ve done FOR me, IN me, and THROUGH me. I continue to ask for the spiritual gift of creative writing and that You would continue to help me use this gift to further Your Kingdom. I pray Your Blessing over ALL those who know You, into the New Year and throughout eternity.
In Jesus Precious Name I pray. Amen
So very thankful for the many things you highlight in your requests. Especially when you specify that we should pray for ALL of our leaders….I strongly feel if we did this our nation would be back on the right track in trusting God for leadership……not tearing it apart.
