Whatever the Need
I love the Lord, because He has heard My voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live. (Psalm 116:1-2 NKJV)
Dear Jesus,This seems to be one of those times when troubles abound, but I know that You understand and can take care of me.
- Where there are problems and pain, give Your peace and mercy.
- Where there is tiredness, please give understanding of Your strength, and show me how to avail myself of that strength by leaning on You.
- Where there are difficult decisions to make, or confusion or stress, make Your way plain and give everything needed for me to follow where You lead.
- Where there is loneliness, I ask You to renew the experience of Your nearness and draw me into greater intimacy with You.
- Where there is insecurity or self-doubt, please grant renewed confidence in Your abilities, more faith in You.
- Where there is fear, please demonstrate Your love and give courage, as I know You can work out any situation for the best.
- Where there is a need for finances or other provision, please supply as You promised in Your Word.
- Where there is illness, send healing by Your miracle-working power and give instruction for healthful lifestyles.
- Where there is discouragement, hopelessness, or depression, please send hope, renewed joy, and trust for the promised good You will work in our lives.
- Where there is a spiritual emptiness, send Your Word for inspiration, and grant sweet communion with You in prayer.
Whatever the need, please fill it, Jesus, as the Giver of all good things. Amen. [1]
