Our Daily Prayer for Thursday - Millie McFarland

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
— Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV

Scripture & Prayer submitted by: Millie McFarland

Holy and Righteous Father, I come into Your presence with a heart of gratitude and praise. I thank You for who You are; You are Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. You are the Great I Am, and I humbly worship Your Holy name.

Father, I thank You for Your grace that You so freely give. I thank You for the gift of my salvation, as that is the ultimate gift of grace; there is nothing I can do to earn it. I thank You for the unconditional love You have for me; that You gave your only begotten Son for my sins. I know I don't deserve it, but You gave and continue to give anyway. Father, I love You and I so appreciate everything You do for me.

Father, I have faith in You and in Your word, because I know Your word never fails and it will never pass away. I thank You for all of Your promises that are yes and Amen. Father, you never leave or forsake us; You are by our side every step of the way. I thank You for that blessed assurance.

Father, I pray that you open up the eyes of all those that don't know you. I pray they can see You in everything around them in creation. Allow them to see your  hand in the mondaine and also in the fantastic. Reveal to them that nothing happens by accident; show them you are in control. Father, show them you are in the cool breeze as you are in a raging storm. Speak to them and welcome them into your wings of mercy. I pray for them to get to know you; that they place their faith and trust in you.

I lay this prayer at your throne room of grace. I thank you for hearing my prayer and for seeing my heart. In the precious name of Jesus.

Amen
