Beloved of All
Christ Jesus, today I am praying for a man who took me in when I was homeless - his name is G.. I pray that You bless this man very highly - because he did great things for me when I had nothing, he fed me, and made sure that I knew that I had a place to stay when I needed one. I pray that You fill his life with true happiness and joy, Lord Jesus, because I believe that this man has a very godly heart - though he may not know that about himself. God, please do this for me, - because I believe that people who do good things deserve the rewards that You promised them - and certainly any man who would have looked after me when I was on the street is a good man. Forgive him his sins, Lord God, any of them he has committed - wash them away completely. Let peace come into his life, prosperity, abundance, and many blessings. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior, the Only Son of God, amen.
God, I am also praying for the homeless in this city. There are many of them, and I know that some of them are kind - and have winded up in a place where I myself have been (and thank You God for rescuing me from homelessness, You are truly a good and gracious Father). Don't let these people suffer, Lord Jesus - but instead please help them to have peace in their lives, help them to find shelter, clothes, and food - all of those things, whatever they need - give them to them Jesus. I know You are sufficient to fulfill any prayer, so this prayer I am asking for those who are in desperate need. Fall and winter aren't far off, and this city gets very cold - and I know that these people don't have a place to go. Jesus God Almighty, hear my prayer.
God, I pray that You strengthen my soul, that You protect me, and that You save me from all the trickery of Your adversaries. God, I am a man often tempted - and I come to the right hand of Your throne for forgiveness, so that I can cast off my sins and be someone else. I am myself a very lost man. I used to know, or I thought I knew what my purpose was on earth - and God my time is not growing longer here on earth - but as I get older I realize my potential is waning. I know that You laugh when men and women say that they are getting older and that because of age their potential is lessened, because look what You did for Abraham and his wife in their old age - clearly, with You anything is possible Lord.
God, I want to be a musician, or at least that is one of the only things that has stuck around permanently in my life - this doesn't mean that its Your plan for me, and if You have a plan that is different for me - I will try very hard to accept it openly because I love You very much. More than I love music. - I used to use music to show my love to You, - but I am starting to realize that no one cares much about anything I've ever written musically. I'm not even sure You care about it, to be honest, Lord - I know that You care about me, and my love for You and the state of that love - but I don't know if You want me to be a musician, or if anything I've written is pleasing to You.
God, I really need big answers at this time in my life - and I am aware that I am not in a position to be demanding - but I am trying to go boldly to You Jesus to ask these things and hopefully receive an answer that I understand. I just am struggling to see anything in my life that isn't a mistake I've made - and I am struggling to find anything about myself that truly shines or stands out. I figure that if You have something You want for me to do specifically in my life - a road for me in the world but not of it - that it would stand out to me immediately, but I am very blinded - and I am unable to discern what Your desires are as far as who I am meant to be.
God, am I written in the book of life? God, has Jesus accepted me? God, will You forgive me? And Lord, what is the way in life? Make it known so that I can waste no more time. The last thing that I want is to bumble about not knowing what I should be doing - or what the plans are You have that are good for me, to prosper and not to harm me.
God of Israel, I need You more in my life - and I am an ugly sinner - I know, and without Jesus I'm completely lost. Have mercy on me if You would, but not as I will God, but as You will. Amen in Jesus Christ's name.
