Our Daily Prayer for Sunday - Millie McFarland

Sing, Daughter Zion;
shout aloud, Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
Daughter Jerusalem!
The Lord has taken away your punishment,
he has turned back your enemy.
The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you;
never again will you fear any harm.
On that day
they will say to Jerusalem,
“Do not fear, Zion;
do not let your hands hang limp.
The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.
— Zephaniah 3:14-17 (NV)

Scripture & Prayer submitted by: Millie McFarland

Eternal Father, I come before you with a heart of thanksgiving, rejoicing in you. I thank you for the unspeakable joy you have given me. You have made me glad and I rejoice with all of my heart in your Holy presence.

Father, I pray for every brother and sister reading this; guide and protect each from the wiles of the enemy. When the enemy rises up against them like a flood; I pray you uplift them with your righteous right hand. Father, send a band of angels to encamp around them and protect them from all harm.

I pray that each recognizes that you are the Lord, King of Israel and God over all; and that they don't need to fear any harm because you are with them. Father, you have graciously given us the gift of salvation through your Son Jesus Christ; who is mighty to save and delights in us with love. Teach each to trust and depend on you. I pray they rejoice in the joy of their salvation.

Father, I thank you for reminding me that you are in control and that you are my protector. I thank you for redeeming and saving me from a path of destruction. I will praise and worship you every single day of my life. Father, thank you for hearing my prayer. In Jesus Mighty name I pray.

Amen
