Good and gracious Father,
Thank you for your forgiveness, your grace, and your mercy.
Thank you for the beauty you provide, reminding us of your presence.
Thank you for the protection you provide and the guidance through your Spirit.
What a gift to be the child of a God who is living and active!
Father, sometimes our hearts are anxious.
Our world can feel troubled.
It can feel frightening.
Thank you, Father, that you are our provider, our comforter, our rescuer.
Comfort our hearts today. Help us receive Your comfort.
Provide opportunities for us to bring your comfort to others by extending grace, peace, mercy, and forgiveness through the power of your Spirit.
In Philippians 4:7, you tell us “the peace of God, which TRANSCENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”.
Father, grant us that peace.
The peace that goes beyond our human understanding.
I receive Your peace.
Renew and awaken my heart with Your peace. Renew and awaken our hearts with Your peace.
Guard our hearts and our minds as we encounter the world around us. Empower us to react to our environment and our circumstances in a way that will make people curious as to where our strength and peace come from.
Not from ourselves, but from the throne of the most high God, and through the power of his Spirit.
Thank you for calling me to contend in prayer with You for spiritual renewal in every heart, home, church, and this region. Pour out Your Spirit, Lord Jesus, awakening the lost to faith, readying Your church to join You in Your mission, and sending workers into the fields ripe for harvest.
Amen
