Dear God,
I give praise to You my God, for all Your workings in my heart and for the unexpected and unplanned for purchase of some beautiful garments for my trip, and for the 100’s dollars saved. I find each day that you care for my entire being, now and for eternity, just like You promise.
You love us to talk to You in prayer of all types; for we are friends. Jesus taught much about prayer. Please give me new insights into some of these words, as I have previously prayed for cleansing of my soul and to be given humility. Mark 11: 25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.” I think this requirement for answered prayer, is often gone over without thinking or properly understanding why some prayers are not answered and our attitude gets hardened. Verses 26 “But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
I ask that if we are holding grudges in our heart, please convict of this, and place in us a desire to seek You, and ask for a change in attitude, and an prompting to truly forgive the other by Your power; for we need Your help. Thank You for hearing and answering this prayer.
Matthew 7: 7, 8 “Ask, and it will be given to you, seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” I come in prayer at Your invitation, and because I believe by Your own word, that it is Your delight to answer and give us what we need. Jesus said that no parent would deny a child a need for bread, or other requirement and we are evil, therefore, “much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” Verse 11b
Dear Father in heaven, “for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen” Matthew 6: 13b
