A Simple Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

You know all. You know everyone's name on earth. You know my struggles and You know their struggles. You know what I'm going through, and You know what your plans are for me and for all of Your children. "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to proper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11). I know You are there when I wake up in pain, I know You are with all of us through Your wonderful Comforter, the Holy Spirit. 

Lord, I'm struggling today, as are so many others. From cancer to family problems and everything else in between, suicidal thoughts, all of this life's toils and snares. God, I know You are there! Please touch us all with Your great mercy and grace today? And for those who are still asleep in the light, Lord, please wake them? There will be a sound like a trumpet and the Lord Jesus will soon call us, telling us to "Come up hither." (Revelation 4:1). 

Help us who are lukewarm to be HOT and on FIRE for You! (Revelation 3:15-16). Help us to be bold even in our own weaknesses, and times of severe trial, to reach out to others and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those who may be perishing. Help us all to get our eyes off of ourselves and to keep our eyes on Your precious Son, who died for us all, taking away the sins of the world so that we could all have eternal life in heaven with you. (John 1:29 & John 3:16). I know that for myself, whenever I take my eyes of Jesus, I sink just like Peter did! (Matthew 14:28-30). Help us to put away our own thoughts, desires and wants and to want what You want for us and from us! The days are short. Give us hope, strength, peace, comfort, and Your might Lord! We are most assuredly going to need it very soon if not already! 

Lord, please help all those who need Your touch today. God, please bless those who read this and draw them to Yourself so that they can know joy even in the midst of terrible circumstances and the trials of this life? Let this prayer reach far and wide and help those, especially those who needed a prayer said for them today but were too timid to ask? I am so humble that You found a way to use me even while my earthly tent is fading. Thank you Jesus. Help me to continue to reach out to others boldly with the Love of Christ. Forgiveness and eternal life is just a step away for those who wish to come to You, confess their sins and believe in Your Son! (1 John 1:9). 

Thank you for my life Lord. Please help me not to quit or feel sorry for myself. Help me not to grumble or complain at the pain or this current trial that I am going through? Give me a heart that believes wholeheartedly in Your healing power! Every step I take, I know you take it with me as you do with all of Your children, for I know that You will never leave me nor forsake me! Help me to be content, no matter my situation Lord God. (Hebrews 13:5). 

Thank you Father. Thank You for Your love and for Your Son in whom I have been set free! (John 8:36). You are the King of my heart and I am grateful that You have set me free from the things of this earth and all the problems, trials and difficulties I am facing. You are bigger than every battle I am facing Lord God. You are my only hope! Thank You for Your unconditional Love Lord. It is like nothing else I have ever felt. I pray all of these things in Jesus precious name. Amen.
