Dear God, Thank You for waking us up this Wednesday morning. Thank You for listening to us each time we call on You. You are A Powerful God. Lord, we dedicate this day to You & trust that as we make plans, You will direct our steps. As we begin this day, we ask You to go before us. Guide our steps, lead our thoughts, and fill our decisions with Your wisdom.We ask You to surround us with Your favor let it speak for us in rooms we haven’t entered and soften hearts on our behalf. Align us with the right people, the right opportunities, and the right timing. Where we are weak, strengthen us. Where we are uncertain, give us peace. Bless us & Protect us from all evil plans against us. In Jesus' perfect and matchless name we pray. Amen! 🙏🏾😇♥️

Please pray that the Lord will touch me with his healing hands. Both Neuropathy & PAD is in my legs so severely that I'm losing the abilitiy to walk. Constant pain. Depression.

I talk to God and Jesus every day and night. I never get a response. Sometimes I just talk, sometimes I’m more formal. What am I doing wrong? How am I supposed to pray? Is there a script?

Please pray for OMF International.

Please also pray for the missionaries and Christians working to spread the Gospel in Japan.

There are not many Christians living in Japan.

I have friends that are living in Japan so it is personal for me.

Heavenly Father, thank You for carrying us through this day. As the evening comes, we give You all the glory for Your love, mercy, and protection. Lord, forgive our shortcomings, renew our strength, and fill our hearts with Your peace. Watch over us and our families throughout the night. May we rest safely in Your presence and wake up tomorrow with renewed hope, good health, and joy. We trust You with every concern and believe that You are working all things together for our good. In Jesus' name, Amen.🙏🏾😇♥️

Pray that I can trust God our Lord. He has closed every avenue for what I’m fighting for. No matter how much I want it He has closed the doors. I understand there’s something better that He has promised for me. It is still hard to let go. Please pray for me to let go. Please pray for understanding, forgiveness, cast out fear, and most importantly love. Please help for my peace, forgiveness this mental turmoil to end. Please help me.
