PASTOR'S PRAYER

 

OH GOD,

 YOU ARE MY GOD!

I SEEK YOU ALL THROUGH THE DAY.

AS I REMAIN OPEN TO YOU,

I FIND YOU IN THE MOST WONDERFUL PLACES.

I ALSO FIND YOU ARE ALWAYS ONLY A THOUGHT AWAY!

THEREFORE, WHATEVER I AM GOING THROUGH TODAY,

I AM ASSURED THAT SO LONG AS I CAN THINK OF YOU

THAT THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT WE CAN NOT HANDLE TOGETHER TODAY. 

 THANKYOU LORD FOR THIS BLESSED ASSURANCE.

  AMEN!

 

Gracious Lord,
Here we are at the end of the year
Some opportunities I seized and others slipped by
I pray that I will be more aware of the opportunities that
are presented in the next year.
Help me not to sleep through the next year
Help me to open my eyes wide and find places to exercise your love
Gracious Lord
Help me to understand and accept the peace you offer
Help me to apply that faith in such away that I am freed from
those things that oppress me
Help me to apply that faith in such away that I am freed from
the negative and pre-judged views of who I am
Help me to apply that faith in such away that I am freed from
the way society says I must be
Help me to apply that faith in such away that I am freed from
the bullies of this world
Help me to apply that faith in such away that I am freed to
your view of me
Help me to apply that faith in such away that I am freed to
my fullest potential as your creation
Help me to apply that faith in such away that I am freed to
give the faith and it freedom to another.
AMEN

 

Gracious Lord,
 
You, who created all that I see
You, who created all that I taste
You, who created all that I feel
You, who created all that I smell
You, who created all that I hear
You are more wonderful than I can express
As I experience more and more of this wonderful
World that you created I am in awe of You
I pray dear Lord that I am a good steward of the
Trust that you have placed in us in caring for
Your creation
Sometimes I don't feel like I have been such
A good steward, for that I need forgiveness
Sometimes I am not very caring to people
For that I need forgiveness
Sometimes I am not even very caring of myself
For that I need forgiveness
I pray for a heart that yearns toward clearer purpose
I pray for a mind of surety
I pray for courage of Spirit toward more passion
And finally I pray for a memory of my past
To help me stay fresh today
I pray the ability to take my learning of today
And make it my vision and dreamings for the future
Thank you God for listening
Now I must go on with my day
Be ever present with me in my interactions
AMEN

 

Gracious Lord,
I praise you for your
unconditional love of your creation
I thank you for the many opportunities
that you provide that build my faith
I pray that you will make the decisions
I must make, decisions that help me grow!
 
I ask that you would give me the strength
and courage to do the tasks that I have placed on my plate
I also ask that you would be with those whom I love
Be with them in their individual needs
Help them grow into the wonderful creatures of your vision
I know of some who have very specific health issues
Lord be with them and their loved ones as they
struggle with new health obstacles
Be with the medical officials who are
advising them on these particular health issues.
 
We also ask Lord that you would be with the leaders
who have such an impact on our lives
Help the leaders to envision the beauty and justice
of a world Governed by your Kingdom principles
Be especially with our President and the Legislature
and the Judicial branch of our government.
 
Thank you for this time to share with you my specific
joys and concerns
You are a wonderful and glorious creator!
AMEN
