Devotional Prayer
Our Lord and Savior, our Prince of Peace,
We gratefully bow before your gracious throne. Thank you for removing the walls of hostility in our lives; the old grudges, prejudices, and phobias we tend to hang onto. Grant us your forgiveness and your grace.
In the name of Jesus we thank you,
Amen
Prayer — Dear Lord, thank you for the many stories shared by my loving mother during my childhood. Thank you for the principles they taught me as foundational stones on our journey in life. Thank you for bringing them back to our memory during times of need or just as a word of encouragement. Thank you for the lessons they taught us.
Lord, may we likewise share stories that have meaning with future generations, in our families and community.
Amen
Dear Lord,
I thank you for your continued faithfulness. You know what is best for me better than I know myself. Sometimes it is hard to put our faith in something that we cannot see, so today Lord, I’d like to pray for an increased measure of strength and faith. I want to put my trust in You in every situation, so please give me that strength. May praise be ever on my lips to the Lord who is able to take care of our every need. Amen.
Scripture for the day
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Prov. 3:5, 6
