Today's Prayer 1/16/13

Dear Almighty God, your name means healer, redeemer and salvation. There is only one way to enter into your presence and that one way is Jesus. He is the Lamb of God and He is my savior.

Lord, today my mind immediately started with all my worries, stresses and anxieties of the day. I rebuke these thoughts because they keeps me from fellowshipping with you. Lord, you tell me that I have full authority of the evil desires of this world and today I claim that authority. Today I will turn the distractions of evil into reactions of faith.

I confess, do not know what the next several days, weeks, months or years will bring me. However, I do know who is in control and in charge of my life and my destiny and that is you alone. You are my shepherd, Jehovah-Rohi, and I am not afraid, regardless of what comes into my path.

Father, today strengthen my spirit of faith in you. I am exhausted with trying to rely on myself and the direction that I am trying to plan for my life. I claim your promise that you will go before me and prepare my place for me. I will not go in haste or like a fugitive. As I move forward with your guidance, I am confident that you are my rear guard.

Finally, thank you for your Son Jesus. It brings tears to my eyes as I picture Him willfully and courageously accepting my sin and my unrighteousness. He lifted these burdens, paid the ransom to set me free and stands at your gates with mercy and grace outstretched in His hands, waiting for me. Father God, thank you.

Today, let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be ever pleasing in your sight. May I bring glory to you, Amen.
