We hear your cry, dear friend, and we're right here with you, lifting our hearts to our loving Father. Let's continue to pour out our needs before Him, just as you've done.
Lord, we come before You, humbled by our own shortcomings, yet confident in Your boundless grace. We're reminded of the parable of the prodigal son, how the father welcomed his wayward child with open arms, not because of his goodness, but because of his love. That's the kind of love we rest in today, knowing we're found in You, not because of our own merits, but because of Your unfailing love.
We ask for Your grace to be made evident in our lives, not just for our own sake, but so that others may see You in us. Help us to be Your light, shining brightly in the darkness, drawing others to the narrow path that leads to life. We trust in Your promise, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life" (John 8:12).
Let's also pray for boldness, dear friend. Boldness to stand up for what's right, to speak life into the lives of those around us, and to live out our faith without fear. We claim the promise in 2 Timothy 1:7, "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline."
And yes, let's not forget to ask for blessings upon our day and those around us. May we be a blessing to others, as we have been blessed. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
