PRAYERS

Prayer of the Month: by Rev. Billy Graham

"Our Father and Our God,
"We praise You for Your goodness to our nation, giving us blessings far beyond what we deserve.
Yet we know all is not right with America.
We deeply need a moral & spiritual renewal to help us meet the many problems we face.
Convict us of sin. Help us to turn to You in repentance and faith.
Set our feet on the path of Your righteousness and peace.
We pray today for our nation’s leaders.
Give them the wisdom to know what is right, and the courage to do it.
You have said, ‘Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.’
May this be a new era for America, as we humble ourselves and acknowledge You alone as our Savior and Lord.
This we pray in your holy name, Amen."

Help us to keep your word and live your word everyday that we might please you.
LORD, thank you for this day and everyday In JESUS name we pray, Amen.

 

- Teach me, my Lord, to be sweet and gentle in all the events of life; in disappointments, in the thoughtlessness of others, in the insincerity of those I trusted, in the unfaithfulness of those on whom I relied.
- Let me put myself aside, to think of the happiness of others, to hide my little pains and heartaches, so that I may be the only one to suffer from them.
- Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path.
- Let me so use it that it may mellow me, not harden nor embitter me; that it may make me patient, not irritable; that it may make me broad in my forgiveness, not narrow, haughty and overbearing.
- May no one be less good for having come within my influence. No one less pure, less kind, less noble for having been a fellow-traveler in our journey toward Eternal Life.
- As I go my rounds from one distraction to another, let me whisper, from time to time, a word of love to Thee. May my life be lived in the supernatural, full of power for good, and strong in its purpose of sanctity.

 

Dear Lord,

* We pray that you will give us the desire to know you better each day and for a love of your Word.
* We pray that we may carry your Word and principles in our hearts so that when adversity, temptation or trial comes, we will be equipped to handle them.
* We pray for our obedience to you. Whatever you call us to do, we know that you will give us the ability and strength to accomplish it, for you are the awesome God of this universe.
* We accept your forgiveness. We know that your love for us is unconditional and that you rush to meet the person who cries out to you.
* We pray that we may keep a humble heart and the desire for a closer relationship with you, knowing that neither of these are acheived through our own human effort but that it is through a life of devotion to Christ that we know true blessing.
