From John David Hicks
Pray this prayer with me:
Dear Lord, I thank you for friendship and the opportunity to pray one for another. You have revealed yourself to me in power and your greatness in many ways. Your love to me has been an everlasting love of faithfulness and forgiveness. For this, I am grateful.
You said that the “peace of God will govern your heart as I trust in you.” Minister your mercy and grace to me in the conflicts and struggles of life. Build me up, so that Godley character can be revealed. Heal me, so that I can comfort others. Refresh my soul, so I can give confidence others. I seek your blessings, so that I may bless others. Open doors of ministry for me today, so I can share your love and grace that I have experience with others.
Thank you for my family; watch over each one with your protection and guidance. As you prayed for Peter, I pray for them that “their faith will not fail.” And, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”
Let righteousness reign in our nation. Help our leaders, from the President to the courts to acknowledge you, so you can “direct their path.” I pray for peace in our world. I pray for my church and its leaders that you will help them to minister your word and keep them from harm.
I love you because “you first loved me.” It is your love that motives me. Thank you for your promise that “nothing can separate me from your Love.” You have declared that, “He who has begun a good work in you will complete it.” Thus, I worship you in spirit and the truth of your Word.
I pray this in Jesus Name; Amen & Amen.
