Our Daily Prayer for Monday - Millie McFarland

The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him.

Theme : “Be Encouraged”

Holy and Righteous Father, I come into your presence with a heart full of worship and praise. I thank you for this new day and the new mercy it brings. You are a good and faithful Father.

Lord, I thank you for being my strength and my shield. You have protected me from all harm, and you continue being my strong tower and refuge. In you alone I place my trust. All of my hope is in you and I surrender my will and ways to you O Lord.

Today is the first day of a brand new month. I pray that it be a new beginning for those that have been going through difficulties and struggles. Father, I pray that you strengthen every person reading this prayer. Father, minister to each in a personal way. May they find peace and hope in you. Lord, you are our Way-maker, our Miracle-worker, our Promise-keeper and our Light in the darkness; that is who you are. Even when we don't see it or feel it you are working it out for our good. So, I pray you work it out right now for each struggling in any kind of way.

Father, I pray that you strengthen and encourage each person. Wrap your loving arms around them, and reassure them that you are right there with them. The bible says you will never leave or forsake us, so we stand on your word. I cast down the spirit of fear and I loose your peace that surpasses all understanding. Draw each closer to you by your Holy Spirit and meet them at the point of their need.

Father, I thank you for taking the time to hear my hearts cry. In your grace and mercy I pray. In Jesus name.

Amen
