Our Daily Prayer for Wednesday - Millie McFarland

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
— 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NIV

Scripture & Prayer submitted by: Millie McFarland

Eternal and Righteous Father, I praise and up lift your Holy name. I thank you for the new mercies I see today. Father I thank you, because no matter what hardships we face through the day and into the night;  we have a blessed assurance that JOY comes in the morning.

Father, I pray for all those that are going through any kind of hardships or troubles; for I know that in the external it seems like things are not going to get any better. I pray that you reveal to them that you are working it out internally. It may look dark and like there is no way out, but I pray they take heart in you and your blessed assurance; that you are the Light and the Way-maker.

Father, I pray that each person have faith in you and that they trust you are in control. I pray they take their eyes off the natural and ask for spiritual eyes so they may see your hands at work. Father, reveal to them what they see here is temporal but what you have for them exceeds what the naked eyes can see; for your reward is eternal. Minister individually and meet them at the point of their need.

Father, I am in awe of you and I thank you for always being right there by my side. I thank you for taking care of me and for working all things together for my good. I place my faith and trust in you; for I know you are in control. I place this prayer at your feet and I know you are working everything out for my eternal good. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray.

Amen
