Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 28 Jul 07

As we head into the weekend, let us offer our full devotion, attention to Him in prayer. God’s leading me to pray, Our Father’s prayer. Instead of just saying it, I pray that we would meditate on it, and we would write it on our hearts, that we feel we are saying it to our Father from the deepest part of our soul.

Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Father, it is your name that is exalted, not mine. Father you reign over all the earth, for you are mighty, for you are my rock, and I pray that I will never fail to proclaim your name. Father, humble me each day to give all glory to you.

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Father, it is your will, your plans, your purpose! Not mine! I pray Lord that I give my life to you, I surrender all to you! Take my life, take all of me, take my desires, take my will, may I live each day fulfilling your purpose. Your plans will be done on earth, and I thank you Master that you would even use me as an instrument of your perfect will.

Give us this day our daily bread. Lord, you are my provider, no matter the circumstance. The blessings, the ups and downs, and the times of trials, Father you are my daily bread. Father, my dreams, my future, I know you are my daily bread. I pray that in my heart I will not chase after the worlds desires. Lord, teach me to be a giver. As you are my daily bread, let me never forget to learn from you, to always give and never be selfish but selfless.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Father, teach my heart to forgive. I let go of all my past hurts and pains. Father, instead of being bitter, I pray that you would enter the lives of those that hurt me, offend me, those that make me angry, bitter, upset, and frustrated. Father, I pray that you would bless them abundantly, give them a fruitful life that they may see more to life than what they already see. I pray for healing. Lord, I pray that as we start to forgive, this will be like a “virus” that will spread throughout the world. People forgiving others, and through this, Lord I know nations like Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, and many more will come to know you as their King.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Father, I am a sinner, but as your word says in 1 Corin 10:13 Lord you are faithful and you will not let me be tempted beyond what I cannot bear.

For thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen You are the Lord of all! You are the King of Kings! You have already won! The battle has already been won! I face the devil, I face the giants, and I shout with praise, I raise my banner, I stand upon my rock of salvation—Victory is mine!
