In Matthew 6, Jesus prayed, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
A prayer that begins. . . “May I not view you as a distant father, but as one who has come to earth and understands the challenges and temptations of my life. Be near me today, whisper reminders that you’re close. My friends need you today as they make difficult decisions in their workplace and in their families. Show them you are closer than even their earthly fathers. Thank you for hearing me and listening to my pleas. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray this, amen.”
I spent yesterday catching up on 3 months of Project Life. It reminds me to be grateful for the stability that family provides us. The world is in such chaos right now that it is easy to be overwhelmed. But Jesus said "Do not fear" so I try to keep it far from me even in the most troubling of times. Pray for our world that her eyes be opened to the message of salvation.
Have a blessed day remembering that joy in the Lord is our strength...spiritually, mentally and physically!
