Prayer for Today
“The Lord answers you in the day of trouble!
May God grant you your heart’s desire and fulfill all your plans.”
--From Psalm 20
The world is becoming a very different place. The recent shift of attitude and awareness in our culture is one of the many, many changes we observe. As we begin this new month, I’ve developed a series of phrases to contemplate. Take some time with each line and at the end of each phrase you may want to add the words, “Receive this prayer, O God.” Let us pray:
For those without food, clothes and a place of shelter…
For those who live with wars and rumors of war…
For those who fiercely defend freedom while away from freedom’s shores…
For those who find their routine interrupted…
For those who hear the noise of explosion and feel the earth shake…
For those who daily see clouds of smoke and debris arising from mother earth…
For those who lead and make decisions affecting the common folk of societies…
For those who weep…
For those who cause their weeping…
In the midst of today’s successes or disasters, assure us that your requirements still include a clean conscience, a loving spirit and a forgiving heart…
