Scripture & Prayer submitted by: Millie McFarland

Heavenly Father, I come into your presence giving you all the glory and honor. I praise you for you alone are God; there is none like you. I thank you for a new day and for brand new mercies.

Father, I come before you lifting up every person that needs encouragement. I ask that you saturate them with your love; wrap your loving arms around them and reassure them that they are not alone. Teach them to be strong, to stand in faith and be courageous in you. I pray that they place their trust in you and that they find the peace only you can give. The word tells us, "Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord." (Psalms 27:14 KJV) I pray that they stay encouraged and wait on you even though they may feel weak; there is good news.

Father, I thank you that we can be weak, because in our weakness YOU are strong; our strength is in You. So, I pray that each take heart, be strong and hope in the Lord. For you Father, are our strength like no other and we can rely on you to lift us up in our times of trouble. 

Father, I thank you for who you are in my life and for all that you do. I praise and exalt your Holy name. Thank you for being my strength, my encourager and the lifter of my head when I'm feeling downtrodden. I love more today than I did yesterday. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray.

Amen
