Our Daily Prayer for Tuesday - Timothy Herger

“I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee, in my prayers, night and day;

Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

- (2) Timothy 1 , 3 : 7 (KJV)

(Mom -) Jesus, You were a human on this earth with us and you know us and our imperfections so well. I beg you today for peace and grace in my heart as I see the mistakes I have made as a mother.

Help me not to focus on the mistakes I have made or the people who have judged me but guide my attention to the center of your love.

Grant me the ability to forgive myself and feel how very deeply you love me because I am flawed and need your saving.

Give me the patience and compassion to love my children more deeply than I ever have. I long for their forgiveness.

Guide me with your Holy Spirit and give me the patience and love to let them be trusting in me.

Open my battered heart and lead me to comfort and peace.

Please heal the pain I carry in my heart each day and close the distance between my children and me.

I ask this in the name of your most loving mother, the mother of us all.

….

(Her Progeny -) Lord, today I turn to you to give you thanks for my mother.

With your own gift of life, she bore me in her womb and gave me life.

She tenderly, patiently cared for me and taught me to walk and talk. She read to me and made me laugh.

No one delighted in my successes more; no one could comfort me better in my failures.

I am so grateful for how she mothered me and mentored me, and even disciplined me.

Please bless her, Lord, and comfort her.

Help her loving heart to continue to love and give out of herself to others, and to others – may they give back, from themselves, to her.

Strengthen her when she is down and give her hope when she is discouraged.

Most of all, Lord, on this Mother's Day,

give my mother the graces she most needs and desires today.

I ask you this, in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior forever and ever.

Amen

“Doy gracias a Dios, a quien sirvo desde mis antepasados con limpia conciencia, porque sin cesar me acuerdo de ti en mis oraciones, de noche y de día;

Deseando mucho verte, teniendo presente tus lágrimas, para llenarme de alegría;

Cuando llamo a la memoria la fe no fingida que hay en ti, la que habitó primero en tu abuela Loida y en tu madre Eunice; y estoy seguro de que en ti también.

Por tanto, te recuerdo que despiertas el don de Dios que está en ti con la imposición de mis manos.

Porque Dios no nos ha dado espíritu de temor; sino de poder, de amor y de sano juicio”.

- (2) Timoteo 1, 3: 7 (RV)

(Mamá -) Jesús, Tú fuiste un ser humano en esta tierra con nosotros y nos conoces muy bien a nosotros y a nuestras imperfecciones. Te ruego hoy paz y gracia en mi corazón al ver los errores que he cometido como madre.

Ayúdame a no centrarme en los errores que he cometido ni en las personas que me han juzgado sino guía mi atención al centro de tu amor.

Concédeme la capacidad de perdonarme a mí mismo y sentir cuán profundamente me amas porque tengo defectos y necesito tu salvación.

Dame la paciencia y la compasión para amar a mis hijos más profundamente que nunca. Anhelo su perdón.

Guíame con tu Espíritu Santo y dame la paciencia y el amor para que confíen en mí.

Abre mi corazón maltratado y llévame al consuelo y la paz.

Por favor sana el dolor que llevo en mi corazón cada día y cierra la distancia entre mis hijos y yo.

Te lo pido en nombre de tu amadísima madre, la madre de todos nosotros.

….

(Su Progenie -) Señor, hoy acudo a ti para darte gracias por mi madre.

Con tu propio don de la vida, ella me llevó en su seno y me dio la vida.

Ella me cuidó con ternura y paciencia y me enseñó a caminar y hablar. Ella me leyó y me hizo reír.

Nadie se deleitaba más con mis éxitos; nadie podría consolarme mejor en mis fracasos.

Estoy muy agradecida por cómo ella me cuidó y me guió, e incluso me disciplinó.

Por favor, bendícela, Señor, y consuélala.

Ayuda a su amoroso corazón a continuar amándose y entregándose a los demás y a los demás – que ellos le devuelvan, de sí mismos, a ella.

Fortalécela cuando esté deprimida y dale esperanza cuando esté desanimada.

Sobre todo, Señor, en este Día de la Madre,

dale a mi madre las gracias que más necesita y desea hoy.

Te lo pido, en el nombre de Jesús, nuestro Señor y Salvador por los siglos de los siglos.

Amén

Our Daily Prayer for Saturday - Millie McFarland

“I will bless the Lord at all times;

His praise shall continually be in my mouth.”

Psalms 34:1

Submitted by: Millie McFarland

Holy & Righteous Father, I give you honor. I will bless your name at all times; your praise shall continually be in my mouth. You are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords; I humbly bow before you in reverence. 

Father, today I just want to worship at your feet. You are our Everlasting Father and you deserve all of the Glory.  I want to pour my praise on you, like oil from Mary's alabaster box. I want to wipe your feet with my tears and dry them with my hair. I humbly want to serve you and only you.

Lord, you are my refuge and my strong tower; in you will I trust. I surrender my will, my ways, and my soul to you. Have your way in my life. Mold me and make me into the woman of God you want me to be. Order my foot steps in your word. I want to walk worthy in you; so you can use me to minister to others. Renew my heart and create a right spirit in me. 

Father, I will rejoice in you and I will extol your Holy name. Prepare me to be the servant you have called me to be. Allow me to be sensitive to the needs of my brothers and sisters. Help me be a vessel to pour out what you have poured into me. Help me guide the lost souls to you; so they may reconcile their lives to you. I pray for each to find salvation in you. 

Gracious Father, thank you for your new mercies everyday. Thank you Lord for your faithfulness and for hearing my cry. I lay this prayer of thanksgiving at your feet as an offering of sacrifice and praise. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
