Our Daily Prayer for Wednesday - Candace Buchanan
“Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.”
“For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”
Scripture & Prayer submitted by: Candace Buchanan
Father God, we honor you as a righteous and Holy God. Holy, Holy, Holy are you Lord. The whole earth is full of your glory.
Father, we don't want to just honor you with our lips while our hearts are far from you. Search our hearts oh God, cleanse us, purge us and purify our hearts. Remove anything that would hinder our prayers. Forgive us of our sins, both known and unknown, sins of omission and commission. Forgive us of our selfishness and materialism.
Give us a heart of compassion for our neighbors in need and show us how to give a helping hand. Forgive us for our failure to show love to all people. Give us hearts of love, peace and justice. Forgive us for our carnality and failure to put you first and prioritize spiritual things. Extend your hand of grace and mercy; receive us back into sweet communion and fellowship with you. Forgive our unbelief and help us to trust you fully.
Father, we stand on your promise that says if we confess our sins that you are faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness. We believe your word that says, if we humble ourselves and pray and seek your face and turn from our wicked ways, you would hear from heaven, you would forgive our sins and heal our land.
Father God, you are faithful to your word, we have repented and we believe that you have forgiven us. Please heal our land of the plagues of Covid 19, of hate, and of lawlessness. Revive your people again and fill us with your Spirit. Restore hope and the joy of your salvation.
Lord, we know that you heard our prayers and your hands are extended to save us. God we give you all the glory and the praise, even now. Be glorified in our lives we pray, in Jesus' name.
Amen.
