    A Small Morning Family Prayer

    31/01/2022

    Gracious Heavenly Father, thank You for this blessed morning. Thank You for waking us up healthy and safe on this new day. 

    Lord, as we enter a new week, may we find favour in Your sight that will be far better and greater than our past. Make a way where there seems to be no way.

    Lord, we may, in our weakness go astray as we face each challenge and temptation ; be it at home, at work, and in our other transactions. Pardon us and help us to overcome such situations.

    Lord, may we not retreat in our faith, but abide in You. Hold our hand, and walk us through, so that, together we can face tomorrow.

    Lord, thank You for the blessings You have in store for each one of us. May we be confident and conscious that if we have faith, "we will receive".

    In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

    Today’s Promise:
    Jesus, “and whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” Matthew 21:22

    Gracious Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing us to the close of this week. 

    Lord, thank You for guiding us and giving us hope through the week. You desired to hear from us and to speak to us each morning. It was not our mental fortitude but Your Spirit that strengthened all of us to face spiritual, emotional, and physical stress. You were by our side always.

    Lord, thank You for all the blessings showered upon us and for the hedge of protection around us that saved us through many dangers and snares.

    Thank You for walking ahead of us and making the crooked paths straight.

    Lord, refresh us and all those who toiled through the week to earn their livelihood. Give them rest and a peaceful weekend. Let their earnings be sufficient enough to meet their needs. Provide them as You provided our needs and wants.

    Lord, we trust in Your plans that are designed for us to prosper. You are an awesome God.....Let Your will alone be done in our lives.

    In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

    I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.” – Jeremiah 31:25
