God You
gave us Your holy Word. It has thousands of verses. Some of those are full of inspiration
and comfort. But other verses are full of challenges and conviction. I admit
that I am like others. I tend to steer away from those Bible verses that I do
not like. You stated that without faith it is impossible to please You. You made
it clear that faith needs to be accompanied with works. That is easy to say but
God it is not easy to apply. Just like most folks I would rather drift along in
the river of life. I do not prefer to swim upstream against the currents of worldliness,
carnality and idolatry. God I seek to know You and please You with every moment
of my life. Let me be conformed to the character of Christ by hearing then
doing Your Word.
God as You
know I have been on this Christian path for a few decades. I my journey has
taken me far and wide in terms of the variety of believers I have met. I have
met many Christian women that had an intimate prayer life but I have met very
few Christian men that had such a prayer life. I am not attempting to compete
with men or get into a self righteous rut of religion. What I want God is to
become all that You have created me to be and to fulfill Your call on my life. Lord
like Your disciples asked You I am asking You to teach me how to pray. May I pray
prayers that are in alignment with Your Word and prompted by the Holy Spirit.
God You have
bountifully blessed the USA for centuries. This nation has an abundance of
natural resources and lots of hard working people. You gave our founding
fathers great wisdom and courage to start this republic. God I am grateful for
the religious freedoms we have enjoyed here. Lord I have often felt badly that
we have so much while those in some other countries have so little. Please cause
more American Christians to lift up their eyes and see the desperate needs
internationally. Guide them in how they can make a difference. Let them know
that their contributions to missionaries and international mission agencies
will have an eternal impact. Raise up and send out workers into Your harvest.
