Daily Prayer:

Oh Lord, I pray that we will be more loving and less judgmental. That we will be more kind and considerate of people’s needs and less about our self and what we desire. May our knowledge come from You and not from our own thoughts and the thoughts of this world. There is so much I still need to let go of which does not come from You, and I know that many other people need to do the same. So often do I pray that Your thoughts will be my thoughts. That my mind will be filled up with Your wisdom and knowledge. That I will see people in need and jump to help them, and no longer be hesitant about it. May there be fewer people who suffer with no person to lean on, but that Your children will come to these people in droves. I am speaking of people who need our help on the streets who are homeless, those in jail or prisons, hospitals, assisted living facilities or nursing homes, and in people’s homes. So many people are suffering because of sickness, a death in the family or friend, loss of a job, financial issues, marriage problems, family issues, and more. We have people hooked on drugs and are addicted to terrible things that are drawing people away from You. I can see the evils of this world and my heart sinks just knowing that it is affecting people who love You. For this reason, will I seek those out who are in need of our help, plus our prayers. How can I live this life building my own life up, while other people are suffering? This pains my soul just thinking about people all around me who are less fortunate than me and my family. So I pray for their needs and cry out to You for love, comfort, and peace to fill their souls. If these people are near me, lead me to them, that I might be a beacon of hope and lead them to Your presence, oh Lord. I love You. Amen.

Daily Prayer:

Oh Lord, I pray that I and other Christians will earnestly desire to show love unto our neighbors. That we will no longer be judgmental or badgering in how we treat people. Instead, put in us a kind and caring heart, that others will be comforted just being around us. Life is hard and many people are suffering in this dark world. So many of them have nowhere left to turn. Their well is empty. Their burdens are too vast and that they cannot find comfort in their trials. Lord, I know that I have family, friends, and brothers and sisters in the faith who are feeling this way right now. They are down and distraught because of the coronavirus and the fears that go along with it. Many of them also have a chronic illness, have lost their job, have financial issues, marriage problems, and more. This life can be so very hard and even I am going through a job loss. It would be nice if people that knew me would come and visit me. That I may be comforted also in these trying times. I know that life will get better and a better job will come to the table sooner than later. Until then, do I trust in You and welcome phone calls, texts, visits, and prayers. But I am not alone in this matter. Even now my wife’s mom is on hospice care. This has caused her to be in mourning, and I can only do so much to comfort her. Lord, this life is short and we don’t know when we will give our last breath. Therefore, I will never stop leaning on You for understanding, comfort, and hope that I need. If I need to be uplifted, there is always help around the corner when I call upon Your Name in prayer. You are always there for me. I love You, Jesus! You are my Lord and God. I give You praise and glory. Amen.

Sinner’s Prayer:

Oh Lord, my God, please forgive me and hear my cries. I have fallen once again and know that what I have done is terrible. I deserve to be punished. Nothing is hidden in Your sight and I feel very ashamed for the evil things I have committed. I am filthy in Your sight and weighed down in all my sins. I have betrayed You and am so sorry. Please forgive me. I am sorry for (fill in the blank) and pray that You will take this iniquity and cast it out of my life. I don’t want to turn from You again, but follow You, Jesus, the rest of my days. I feel so guilty for what I have done and pray that You will find mercy for my soul. It is my desire to be cleansed and conformed in Your ways. Take my old life and make me new. Give me eyes to see what is evil in this world, that I may no longer desire it. Help me to hate what is evil and love what is good. I know that You can help me live differently, so I offer You my life today to follow You. I admit that You are the Lord God of all and pray that You will become the Lord of my life also. I need a Savior and pray that You, Jesus, will save from my soul from death and hell. I want to go to heaven, God. I want to be where You are and not where the world leads me. Take every evil influence from my life, that I might serve You in Your kingdom and not be distracted. Make me whole again, Jesus. Cleanse me through Your blood. I trust in You, Lord. You are the king of my life. Give me wisdom and direct my paths. Take me into Your presence this hour. My arms are wide open to receive You. I love You, Lord. May my life ever showcase what You have done for me. Amen.

Daily Prayer:

Oh Lord, I pray that there will be more people in the faith who are selfless and loving towards one another, not judgmental or trying to prove one’s point. Arguing with someone who only wishes for comfort and peace, only brings more pain into that person’s life. This is disheartening to have seen this happen in my life and other people I have met. I’ve head stories, God, of people who have left the faith because of people treating them badly, and this breaks my heart. If people would just know how others are feeling in their grief and sadness, they would never treat them badly again. So Lord, come and make people new. Restore them into Your love, that they may be a beaming light in the darkness of this world. Allow Your love to overflow from them and into people they meet. Help them become instruments of comfort, job, kindness, love, sympathy, and peace. Cast out every pit of discord and animosity from their hearts, that You may take over their mortal bodies and lead them in righteousness. Help them walk in Your holiness, not in the ways of the flesh. Take them by the hand and lead them, oh Lord. Help me to continue to also be an instrument for Your kingdom. I know that I have let You down before, but I am ready to go all-in for You now. Lead me from here on out and far from temptation. I can see that many people are suffering and need comfort in these trying times. So open the doors to me and other Christians, that we might do all that we can for them. We love You and also love our neighbors. How can we be comforted knowing that other people are in desperate need of our help? Therefore, I will do all that I can for the welfare of their souls. May they also come to know You, Jesus, as their Lord and Savior. That they see Your good works in me and glory You, Father, who art in heaven. I love You, God. Amen.

Daily Prayer:

Oh Lord, I am grateful for Your wisdom and Your guidance in life. I would be so lost in my own ways if You were not there with me. There were times in my life that I was giving the wrong advice to people who didn’t need it. I thought I knew the person before even getting to know them first. How foolish I was, God? I may have had a form of godliness about me, but I had created it and not You. Therefore, I am grateful that You came into my life and humbled me. It was in my pride that You corrected me and helped me truly understand Your ways. Even the way that I spoke to people has changed because You are right there with me now. It would be terrible if I said anything that was hurtful to someone of whom I didn’t know what they were going through. So in all my days do I reach for You, that You might help me know exactly what to say and act around people. It is my desire to bring peace into people’s lives, not contention. I desire to love everyone, not to have people be angry with me. It is my heart’s desire to see people be comforted in their trials and never feel burdened by me being around them. So Lord, pour down upon me and other Christians the power of the Holy Spirit. Fill our lives with the type of love that will move people to give You glory and praise. Never do I wish to have any recognition for what I do for You, but to always bring people back to You. You are worthy of our praise and honor, not man. Therefore, I reach out to You with arms wide open for You to receive me. Bring Me into Your presence and usher into my life and people around me Your joy, peace, happiness, and love. If I have breath, I only want You with me. Never again do I wish to live this life alone, but with You right by side. I love You, Jesus. You are my Lord and Savior. Amen.

Daily Prayer:

Oh Lord, I pray that we will all gain the ability to discern things better before we put our foot in our mouths wrongfully. So many people are suffering, and it is sad that some people assume that it must be because of sin in their life. What I know is that trials come to all people, at various times in our lives. Some times it is harder, where there is job loss, financial issues, a death in the family, sickness, and other things that strike us down. We can be seeking Your hand and then all of a sudden have the world falls down upon us, as it seems. It seems out of our control, and we just come to You in prayer for direction, peace, and comfort. We also hope that other people would not judge us wrongfully because of what is happening. Instead, we pray that people will be more supportive of our needs. That people will remember us in their prayers and want to visit us, in order to comfort us. These are our wishes Lord, and only a few people are willing to do this. So little people call and visit people regularly, in order to check in on them. Therefore, people go on in life finding their comfort from You alone and the people who live with them. Lord, please tare down the pride in people’s hearts. Help them realize that people need their help without judgment cast down upon them. If people could simply gain a selfless heart where Your love would flow from their bodies onto others, then lives would really change for the better. Even the anxiety people are feeling on a day to day basis would find relief. We are Your instruments of peace, oh Lord, not of dissension. We deliver love, not discord. Help us to be this way towards people at church that we haven’t seen for a while, and visit them. Also, to our friends we haven’t heard from for a while, and, of course, our family. I love You, Lord. Thank You for helping me love people as You love them. Amen.

Daily Prayer:

Oh Lord, I pray for every person that is currently sick, experiencing a death in the family, having lost a job, going through financial issues, divorce, and other horrific things. The trials of life can be so hard to bear, but only You can deliver peace to these people and myself. You know my circumstances. How I live a life of chronic congestion in the nose and throat, where some days it can be very difficult to bear. Lord, I know that what I go through is nothing compared to others. So I pray that along with my healing in my body, I pray for others as well. Give me and other people a sense of relief and peace that surpasses all understanding. Some of us are meant to endure in our trials, which involves sickness, but others are healed. So if you would hear my prayer, oh God, and send a miracle to people who are suffering now, that would be amazing. Give them relief in the trials they are facing. Even if it isn’t because of illness, help them find peace when it is nowhere in sight. And others who are continually sick and need a way out, I pray for healing from above. I know that medicine can only go so far to relieve some of the pain, but You can do everything the world is incapable of. Miracles are not found in drugs but in Your hands. I’ve scene Your healing touch while praying for people on the streets, and now I just ask that You will heal from afar off also. To people who are hundreds to thousands of miles away, and are sick in their homes, in hospitals, assisted living facilities, and others, please help them. Come into their rooms this day. By Your power, many of them will be healing, find comfort, and also peace for their souls. May they know that this release of their anxiety came from only from You and not this world? Then, will they seek You also, Jesus, and be saved before it is too late. I love You. Amen.

Oh Lord, I pray that we will be more kind, more compassionate, more forgiving, more loving, and more considerate of people’s needs. That we will see past ourselves and see the needs of others above ourselves. So many people are suffering in hospitals, prisons, nursing homes/assisted living facilities, on the streets, and in their homes, and so often we do nothing to help these them. This causes me to be pained and I can just imagine how people who are suffering are feeling when nobody or hardly anybody visits them or helps them. This brings tears to my eyes. Therefore, I pray that people who believe in You will also look for opportunities to love on someone who needs it most. That instead of always doing things for themselves, that their time and effort will be for others. I know that You can give us this loving and kind heart. I believe in You, God. I trust in You. Lead me to those in need, that I might bring into them Your peace and joy. I love You, Lord. Amen.
