Perhaps you see yourself somewhere in this prayer. I prayed for you today.
God sees you, He knows you, and He will help you. He is able -- more than able.
Believe it.
Dear Lord,
Strengthen the hands of the one who has become weary in doing well.
Encourage the heart of the one who is fearful of the future.
Guide the feet of the one who seems to have lost his way.
Gently lift the head of the one who has become discouraged.
Give eyes of compassion to the one who has become callous to the needs of others.
Place Your hand of tender comfort on the shoulder of the one wracked in grief.
Put Your arms of acceptance around those who feel the emptiness of loneliness.
Apply the balm of forgiveness to the one who has harbored bitterness and resentment.
Minister healing to the one whose body cries out in
pain.
Give sweet rest to the one overwhelmed with the cares
of this world.
Freely grant Your perfect peace to all those who abide
in Thee.
Bestow special boldness upon those persecuted for
their faith.
Restore the joy of the ones whom You call Your own.
And save the soul that is nearest Hell today.
LORD, You are the supreme Mercy-Giver!
So, only You can:
Love the unlovely,
Give faith to the faithless,
Reach the unreachable,
In Your loving kindness, do all these things and more,
Lord, making us willing instruments of Your grace,
in case You see fit to use us -- in ways however big or small -- to accomplish
your special purpose in the lives of others.
All the glory goes to You, Lord. ~ Amen.

My Prayer for You Today:
Father in Heaven, I ask you to bless my friend reading this right now!
Send them a **special blessing** that they will know could only come from You.
Quiet their heart. Soothe their spirit. Calm their mind. Heal their body.
Lord, show them a new revelation of Your love and power in their life!
Holy Spirit, I ask you to minister to their spirit at this ~very~ moment...
Where there is pain, cover them with Your peace and grant them new mercies.
Where there is self-doubting, Lord, release a renewed confidence in Your ability to work in them and through them for Your glory.
Where there is tiredness -- even exhaustion, I ask you to give them understanding, patience, & strength as they learn submission to Your quiet leading. Help them want what You want, Lord, and pray: "Not my will, but Thine be done..." and ~mean~ it.
Where there is spiritual stagnation, I ask you to renew
them totally, utterly, and completely by revealing
Your nearness, and by drawing them into greater intimacy with You which
is the true desire of their heart. And
Yours! Give them such a hunger and thirst for Your righteousness...
Breathe the fresh breath of REVIVAL in their heart
anew today, Lord!
Where there is fear, reveal Your love, O God, and release to them Your courage to do that which You have called them to do. Be their anchor, their refuge, and "the rock that is higher than I."
Where there is overwhelming discouragement, Lord shine
on them Your hope! You are the God who
will make a way when there IS no way! Show them promise after promise
in your Word that will help them look forward
to the future, knowing You are already there, having prepared
the way...
Where there is sin blocking Your relationship with
them, Lord, reveal it, and break its hold over
my friend's life, and restore them to sweet fellowship with You.
Father God, bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage them in every area of their life. May they, in turn, be a special blessing in the lives of others because they are Your child.
May their homes be a place where Your presence and peace abide.
Give each of them spiritual discernment to recognize the demonic around them in this world, and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat Satan and his evil hosts daily! Help them to remember the unseen spiritual battle that is being waged for the souls of those who do not know you as Savior and for the testimonies of those who do. Give them a burden for lost souls, Dear Lord.
Help them to trust You and turn to You to be the strength of their heart, the lifter of their head, and the holder of their hand in times of both want and plenty. Give them Your eyes of compassion to see the needs of others.
Give them safety and protection. Keep them from all hurt, harm, disease, and danger.
Help them have a greater understanding of who they are in Jesus Christ, how precious they are to You, and that they are an important part of your special plan for the lives of those they touch. As they turn their heart toward you, lead them on the upward way, and bring them to higher ground...
Reveal to them their spiritual gift(s), and grant them the desire and opportunity to use them in the household of faith for the furtherance of Your kingdom.
Thank You for Your unending patience and unfailing lovingkindness in dealing with their faults, Your and tenderness in molding them as the Potter molds His clay, and the reassurance of Your presence, power, provision, and protection in their life. Help them know, some way, *today* how very much You care for them!
Lord, my friend is so important to me. I humbly
ask You, the One who can do all things, to bring
these things to pass TODAY in my friend's life in Jesus' name and for Your
glory! ~ Amen
