Father I thank you for this day. I thank you for your unfailing love, mercy and grace. I thank you for the hand of support that you so generously wrap around your children each and every day. I thank you for leading, guiding,protecting and providing for us. Father you are a good God one worthy of all praise and honor.

Lord I ask that you continue to open our eyes to the fullness of you. Help us to be children longing to never stop seeking you and your face. Teach us how to be as loving and forgiving as you are. Open our eyes to the areas within us that are not pleasing to you. Father forgive us for times of anger, selfishness, bitterness, envy, and anything within us that hinders our walk with you and overshawdows the love you want us to express. Bring the negatives within us to light and place a sure desire within us to change.

Father I ask that you be with the sick and shut-in, the hungry and needy. I ask that you open the eyes of those who don’t know you and that you put the perfect labors in there path. You Lord are the only one who can heal the land. You created it and all that walk upon it. You know the end from the beginning and your ways are just,perfect, and true. You told us to be anxious for nothing and your word reminds us of how easy it is for you to feed, clothe, and provide shelter and support for your children. We realize with all the negatives we see going on in the world today it’s nothing for you. You Father are the only one who never changes. You Father are faithful, trustworthy, and a present help. Lord as we continue to trust in you and your word let your light so shine in us that we may witness to others and glorify you.

In Jesus name I pray. Amen

Isaiah 1:18-20 (New King James Version)
18 “ Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the LORD,

“ Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;
20 But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword”;
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

God is speaking but are we listening? The bible says many are called but few are chosen. As followers of the one true and living God we must begin to ask ourselves the hard questions. Many seem to be looking at and paying more attention to the negatives that are going on in the nation than the Creator. Isn’t it time we examine ourselves and begin to look within to answer the hard questions?

Are we living the righteous life he speaks of? Or do we walk the common steps of those who don’t believe? Have we played a part in what appears to be the down fall of this country? Do we love in spite of? Give in spite of? And show compassion regardless of the situation or circumstance? Are our deeds honest and just?

If we the children of God hang our heads and choose to believe the lies of the enemy faith and trust is not in us. Are we obedient to the lord and seeking his face? Have we opened our hearts to him? Sisters and brothers, God is speaking, but can we say we’re actively and honestly listening and obeying.

Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.

Psalm 25:5
Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.

Father you are my hope and my strength. I thank you for my life. I thank you for the endless love and compassion you have for me. I thank you for your presence in every situation and circumstance. I thank you for being the father you are. There is none like you Lord, none that can compare, none that can love, provide, protect, guide, teach, and forgive the way you do. You Lord are unique, merciful and my father. Teach us to love and show kindness and compassion the way you do. Teach us how to be honest, true and, giving and forgiving to one another as your are to us. Open our eyes to the areas within us that are not pleasing to you and give us the wisdom and guidance needed to change. I thank you for constantly looking beyond our faults and meeting every need. I thank you for being the alpha and omega of my life. Thank you lord for you are the only one we can safely put our trust in.
In Jesus name I pray.
