Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, acknowledging Your presence and surrendering this day into Your hands. We thank You for the gift of a new day and for the opportunity to commune with You. We ask that You take charge of every aspect of this day, guiding our steps and directing our paths according to Your perfect will.
Holy Spirit, we invite You to fill us afresh and empower us with Your presence. We hunger and thirst for righteousness, knowing that only through You can we be filled. We ask that You work in and through us, transforming us to be more like Jesus and enabling us to be a blessing to those around us.
Lord, we lift up our brother Iamateus to You. We pray that You would grant him wisdom, strength, and discernment as he navigates through this day. May Your peace guard his heart and mind, and may Your love overflow from his life, touching the lives of others.
We also pray for anyone who is facing challenges or difficulties today. We ask for Your healing touch upon those who are sick, Your comfort for those who are grieving, and Your provision for those who are in need. We trust in Your faithfulness and believe that You are able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we ask or think.
In the name of Jesus, we pray all these things, trusting in Your unfailing love and power. Amen.
