Today’s Prayer

Let me not forget the manifold intensity of Your love, Lord God. Lead me off the path of folly and apathy. Your goodness is supreme. Blessings abound for those in Your hands. Put me on a path of holiness that reflects infinite wonder and inspires a reflection of Your glory. With untainted purity and effervescent truth, Your grace is like a summer breeze that wicks away the perspiration of sin. Where would I be without Your benevolence? Tenderly, You bear with me, coaxing me off the wayward road. Lord, strive with my contentious soul. Quicken me from death. Train me for eternity as only You can do. Generous, forgiving, and merciful is Your tenderness. Like a warm blanket on a frigid night, You wrap Your beloved in it until even the coldest heart is thawed. Truly, Your Spirit is marked by patience. May I never take Your generosity for granted. It is Your good pleasure to pluck me out of the common and set me in the extraordinary. I marvel at the gentleness of such a King. I delight in the pleasure of Your forbearance, God. Awaken my sleepy soul with gratitude’s brightest light. Deepen my humility with roots of faith that reach for living water. Quicken my love and devotion because You are enough, Jesus. Under the blessed assurance of Your Holy Word set down in 2 Corinthians 9:8 and the authority of Christ, I pray.

 God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 
2 Corinthians 9:8, NIV
