Daily Prayer Day 130

I DRAW NEAR TO YOU, GOD

As I approach Your throne of grace today, I am grateful that You care about the things that concern me and that You want me to offer them up to You.

O Lord, hear my prayer;
Listen to the voice of my supplications. 
In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,
For You will answer me. 
You are great and do wondrous deeds;
You alone are God.  (Psalm 86:6-7, 10)

Take a moment to share your personal needs with God, including your physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual concerns.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE

In his heart a man plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps.  (Proverbs 16:9)

The Son of Man knew that He must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed and be raised on the third day.  (Luke 9:22)

I LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS OF TRUTH

You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth.  As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise You more and more.  (Psalm 71:5, 14)

MY RESPONSE TO YOU, LORD

I will endure discipline, for God is treating me as a son.  For what son is not disciplined by his father?  If I am without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then I am an illegitimate child and not a true son.  Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them; how much more should I be subjected to the Father of spirits and live?  (Hebrews 12:7-9)

We should bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.  (Galatians 6:2)

Lord, I thank You for Your sovereign control and that the Son of Man was willing to suffer for us.  I thank You that You are my hope and my trust, and I ask that I will endure Your discipline in my life and bear the burdens of others.
