Daily Prayer: Day 260

From Simple Prayers, Day 260

I DRAW NEAR TO YOU, GOD

Lord, I give thanks for Your greatness, your goodness, and your love, and I now draw near to enjoy your presence.

Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades?
Can you loose the cords of Orion?
Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons
Or guide the Bear with its cubs?
Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
Can you set their dominion over the earth? (Job 38:31–33)

I know that You can do all things
And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. (Job 42:2)

Take a moment to consider God’s awesome majesty and thank Him that He loves you and wants an intimate relationship with you.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE

The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good. (Proverbs 15:3)

The Lord said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” (Revelation 3:20–21)

I LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS OF TRUTH

I look to You for my daily bread, to forgive me my debts as I also have forgiven my debtors, and to lead me not into temptation, but to deliver me from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. (Matthew 6:11–13)

MY RESPONSE TO YOU, LORD

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. (Isaiah 5:20)

He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered. (Proverbs 28:26)

Lord, I thank You that You know all things and that You invite me into the joy of Your presence through Jesus Christ Your Son. I pray for Your provision and protection, and I ask that I would not trust in my own heart, but learn and speak Your truth.
