Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You Lord, for restful sleep and the sunrise of a new day. Thank You for another opportunity to do Your Will. I praise You Lord and bless Your Holy name, for all the things You’ve done for me, in me and through me.
I’m especially grateful for things I’ve sometimes taken for granted, like…
* A Loving Family – when many have lost loved ones
* Good Friends – while so many are lonely
* The ability to GIVE generously – while others are impoverished
* Clean water to drink – when so many thirst
* Food in my Mouth – while others go hungry
* Clothes on my Back, Shoes on my Feet, A roof over my Head – when others live in the street
* The ability to walk – arms and legs that move at my command
* The ability to talk – to spread the word of Your love
* The gift of discernment – to make good judgement calls prior to my actions (Help me to use it!)
* The gift of Sight – when many live in darkness
* The gift of Sound – while others cannot hear
* The spiritual gift of creative writing that empowers me to convey Your word “Wrapped In The Rhythm Of Your Love“, and a life time of other things too many to count. So, today
I pray for HEALING where healing is needed
For COURAGE for those who are afraid
I ask for JOY in the midst of sorrow
I pray for the BLESSING of a new day
I pray for GRACE for those who’ve been weakened
Whatever their circumstance
I pray for THOSE WHO DON’T REALLY KNOW YOU
BE GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE
I pray for PEACE to overcome anxiety
I ask PROSPERITY for those who are poor
A kind FRIEND for those who are lonely
FOR YOUR BLESSING ON THEM TO ENDURE
I pray for THOSE WHO’VE LOST A LOVED ONE
Be given CLOSURE and FIND YOUR PEACE
Knowing an ETERNITY AWAITS FOR BELIEVERS
Where their TOGETHERNESS WILL NEVER CEASE
I pray for PATIENCE to wait on YOUR TIMING
For those asking PROOF OF YOUR PROMISE
The ability to BE QUIET AND LISTEN
So they will NOT MISS YOUR RESPONSE
I pray for ALL THOSE WHO’VE BEEN LED TO READ THIS
But NEVER TRUSTED IN YOUR NAME
WILL KNOW YOU CAUSED THEM TO FIND IT
AND KNOW YOU ARE CALLING OUT FOR THEIR SAKE
I ASK YOUR HOLY SPIRIT TO FALL UPON THEM
TO DESCEND ON THEM LIKE A DOVE
KNOWING THEY ARE THE REASON FOR THESE WORDS
WRAPPED IN THE RHYTHM OF YOUR LOVE
