Daily Prayer: Day 271

From Simple Prayers, Day 271

I DRAW NEAR TO YOU, GOD

Lord, You have invited me to pray for the needs of others, and since You desire what is best for them, I take this opportunity to bring these requests to You.

We should offer petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings on behalf of all men, for kings and all those who are in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and reverence. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:1–4)

Take a moment to lift up the needs of your family and friends, and to offer up any other burdens for others that the Lord brings to mind.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE

In Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Colossians 2:3)

Jesus did all things well. He made the deaf hear and the mute speak. (Mark 7:37)

I LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS OF TRUTH

I will draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having my heart sprinkled to cleanse me from an evil conscience and my body washed with pure water. (Hebrews 10:22)

MY RESPONSE TO YOU, LORD

I do not want to lay up treasure for myself without being rich toward God. (Luke 12:21)

He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward him for what he has done. (Proverbs 19:17)

Lord, I thank You that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Jesus who did all things well. I thank You that I can draw near to You in full assurance of faith, and I ask that I would be rich toward You and generous to those who are in need.
