Daily Prayer

  • Lighthouse Ministries Daily Prayer
    Dear Lord God,
     
    I lift my hands in prayer to You on this new day...
     
    Since prayer is at the bottom of all this,
    what I want mostly is for men to pray—
    not shaking angry fists at enemies
    but raising holy hands to God.
    And I want women to get in there with the men
    in humility before God...
    1 Timothy 2:8-9 MSG
     
    Holy God, I want to praise You with my whole life.
     
    As Christmas fast approaches and the beginning of the New Year comes ever closer, I look back and reflect on this past year.
     
    I do not look back to focus in on the pain and the suffering, but in full gratitude as a testament to Your grace, mercy and glory in my life.
     
    Through my trials, You have remained by my side.
     
    I am reminded of this passage in the book of Matthew where the three wise men set out to find baby Jesus, born King of the Jews...
     
    When they saw the star,
    they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.
    Matthew 2:10
     
    I too rejoice exceedingly with great joy as I worship Jesus this Christmas.
     
    When I look back on this year, please help me to see where Your presence has intervened in my pain and in my joy.
     
    Please guard my heart and my mind with Your peace so that when I look back on this year, and as I look to the year ahead, my attitude is to rejoice in who You are and all that You have done...
     
    ...and the peace of God,
    which surpasses all understanding,
    will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
    Philippians 4:7
     
    In the holy name of Jesus I pray,
     
    Amen.
