Prayer for 12.23.08

Dear Friends,
Will you pray this prayer with me today? ~ Mel

Gracious and Loving God, Thank you for granting us a new day; A day to enjoy the beauty of your creation through the changing seasons, a day to render our lives unto you. Show us how you might want to use us as vessels for your Great and Mighty Works today. Make us sensitive to your leading and give us courage to face the challenges of our day with grace, love and peace. Help us to find rest and comfort in you and to turn our backs to the fleeting comforts of this world. Forgive us of our selfish ways, forgive us for our futile attempts at gaining control of our lives, when you are Sovereign and ultimately in control. May we be a people who desire to follow after your heart. May the words of our mouth, the deeds of our hands reflect the love of Christ now and forever.

AMEN

Prayer for Grace

Today's Prayer

Whew! Sometimes, Lord, it seems I'm "in the fire." Things are hectic, I'm bombarded with trials and temptations, and it is not easy. Please help me through the fiery times. I pray that I will emerge a better person, a more faithful Christian, and a living testimony to Your grace. I need Your strength, because I cannot do it alone. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' name I come to You, Amen.
