Prayer for October 9 2014

THANK You God for Nurses

God I say that You have blessed us with nurses and the entire nursing profession.

During my lifetime I have had only wonderful memories of nurses.

I am grateful for those who have dedicated themselves to help others in this way.

Historically there was a time when nursing was very crude.

People suffered and died due to injuries and illnesses.

Apart from proper care that is happening even today in the poorest countries.

You great God gave us humans understandings about nursing and sanitation.

THANK You God for such a gift of knowledge and THANKS for the nurses that use it.

I have spent a few fleeing moment with doctors.

Mostly there was a choppy conversation that led to prescriptions.

But I have spent wonderful times with nurses.

They seemed to care and had the needed aid to apply personally.

There is a convention of nurses in Dallas this week.

That is what got me reflecting on the nursing profession.

Your holy Word says in James 1:17 that every good gift comes from You.

I acknowledge that the nursing profession and nurses are gifts from You.  

Prayer for October 4 2014

God, two months ago I was experiencing many financial challenges.

I prayed much and I requested many prayers.

I drew near to you like never before.

You answered those many prayers in amazing ways.

Recently I have not had financial challenges.

For that I am grateful.

But my prayer life and intimacy with You has decreased.

I have been consistently active in working on ministry projects.

I enjoy these kinds of activities.

They are needed to prepare me for the next season of my life.

On the one hand I seek to draw near t You more and better.

But on the other hand I do not want troubles with my finances, health, safety, etc.

I ask You to gradually work into me healthy habits so I want to pray more.

May I enjoy prayer and intercession more than ever before.

May I become motivated to pray due to genuine love for You and love for others.

May I rest in You and trust You are in control of my life.

This is a season that will end and another season of my life will begin.

I can only take this journey one day at a time.

May I seize the day.

May I learn the lessons of each day.

May you open doors for me to teach the lessons You taught me to the right people.

Prayers for October 2 2015

God I have been inconsistent in writing out my prayers.

I am grateful that Your love and care for me is not dependent on such things.

When I do not renew subscriptions or pay monthly bills then services stop.

But Your love for me does not stop.

Your grace and mercy have no limits.

I honestly want to pray better and more.

But just wanting to do that has never been enough.

I need Your help inside of me to actually improve my habits.

By faith I thank You for Your goodness.

I thank You for Your faithfulness.

May You work in me to write my prayers more often in the future.
