A Prayer For Each of You
Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this right now.
I am asking You to minister to their spirit at this very
moment.   

Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy.
Where there is self doubting, release a renewed confidence
in Your ability to work through them.   
Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion,
I ask You to give them
understanding, patience, and strength
as they learn submission to your leading.

Where there is spiritual stagnation,
I ask You to renew them
by revealing Your nearness,
and by drawing them into greater intimacy with You.   
Where there is fear, reveal Your love,
and release to them Your courage.
Where there is a sin blocking them,
reveal it, and break its hold over my friend's life.

Bless their finances, give them greater vision,
and raise up leaders and friends
to support and encourage them.  
Give each of them discernment to recognize
the evil forces around them,
and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it.

I ask You to do these things in Jesus' name.

Amen

What A Friend We Have In Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?  Is There trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged, Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful Who ill all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness; Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge; Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?  Take it to the Lord in prayer.
In His arms He'll take and shield thee; Thou wilt find a solace there.
