Today’s Prayer

Lord, my mind relies on You for rationality and acceptance of that which is unfathomable. Let me not dismiss the miraculous because I fail to understand the inner workings. Truly, my dependence is on You for every latent capacity to be empowered by the Spirit. You are my sufficiency. Take me into godly tasks with diligent attention to detail and Kingdom profit. Keep me consistently aware of Your divine nearness. Align my focus with the accomplishment of Your will as grace eclipses my selfish desires. Soften my every thought, Lord. Remove the debris of distraction that intrudes on the holiness of all You appointed me to do. Direct my mind to Kingdom thinking, Lord. Through Your Spirit, help me arrange and express the gospel through word and deed. Only You can stoke the holy fires of zeal within me. Warm my soul with knowledge of Your delight. Grant me a joyful countenance that will better serve Your mission as the task given me penetrates the layers of darkness around me. Remind me that my motivation does not stem from selfish gain but from a desire to bring You glory. Dispense Your miraculous power to create in me a servant holy dedicated to my Lord and my God with every breath I have been privileged to take. Under the mighty and holy Word of the Lord in Psalm 138:8 and the authority of Christ, I pray.

The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; Your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of Your hands.
Psalm 138:8, ESV
