“If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear me” Psalm 66:18 (KJV 1900)

Today’s Prayer

Dear Father, You know my hidden thoughts and the intentions of my heart. The Psalmist has said You know the words on my tongue even before I say them. There is nothing that I can hide from you Father, not even the dark sinful thoughts and selfish desires in my mind and heart. Forgive me Lord. Cleanse me. I confess my sins and ask that the Holy Spirit may reveal anything that would hinder my prayers. In Jesus’s Name, Amen!

“For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him” Colossians 1:16

Today’s Prayer

Dear Father, I was awakened this morning by the sound of a Mocking Bird singing outside my window. Her lovely song reminded me of the beauty of all things Your Hands have made. I never cease to be amazed that as creator of all the worlds and all they contain You would remember us and favor us with the beauty and grandeur of Your creation, even the song of a bird sent to greet me for a new day. Thank You Lord!

 “So that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us” Hebrews 6:18.

Today’s Prayer

Dear Father, I confess in this day and time in which we live that I need hope and encouragement. If I seek it in today’s world and events, I find very little of either. But there is a source to which I can turn, and that is found in You, oh God, the one true God who changes not, in whom is eternal hope and peace.

In You, the immutable and unchanging God who is “the same yesterday and today and forevermore” I place my trust and my hope. Though all else fails, You remain the same forever and forever, the One who changes not. Amen

“Be still, and know that I am God” Psalm 46:10

Dear Father, There are times in this busy and troubled world that I need a resting place, a place of safety where I can still and calm my soul. Is there such a place? the Psalmist says so. “Even though the earth should be moved or the mountains quake and slip into the sea,” there is One who remains unchanged and unchanging. He is the One the Psalmist writes to whom we may flee in times of trouble.

Today, dear Lord, this moment, I turn off my mind to the things of this world, still my heart before You, and know that “You are God,” my strength and my safe refuge. In the strong Name of Jesus, Amen!

 “I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture” John 10:9.

Today’s Prayer

Dear Father, thank you for providing the “way” unto salvation through your Son. Even as there was only one entrance, only one door into the sheepfold through which the sheep could enter; there is only one person by whom we  may enter to find life everlasting.

Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that You are the only way, the only door that opens to forgiveness and life everlasting. In You and in You alone I trust for my eternal salvation. In the name of Jesus, Amen
