Heavenly Father, You are almighty, yet gentle as a dove. So gentle and close to us that we can call You Dad.
It’s remarkable that the Creator of everything that is, cares about every single detail of my life; and wants to be intimately involved in it. You want to provide for all my needs. You want me to be filled with joy and contentment. You want me to live into the full measure of what You have for me. You, God, are “for” me!
I pray to believe this truth with all my heart. I pray to not only know this truth in my heart and head, but to live based on it. To trust You with my secrets, to trust You with my fears, to trust You with my longings and heartaches, to trust You with my dreams, to trust You with my money, to trust You with those whom I love, to trust You with my future.
I pray to know—in the depths of soul and being—that I am not going through this life alone, that You are not only with me, but for me. I want that. Holy Spirit, remind me of this truth unceasingly—write it on my heart.
Encourage me to share this truth. Open my eyes to someone who needs to hear it. Give me the courage to speak it out loud. And as I speak it, give me more confidence and conviction in its truth.
There are those who are physically limited, physically challenged. They struggle even more with the things and doings of this world. Simple things are harder for them. Things I take for granted may seem like mountains to climb. Holy Spirit, reveal to me their particular struggles, let me know of their practical issues—give me the eyes to see their needs, their desires, their hearts.
And just as You care about every detail of my life, give me the heart, mind and actions, to care and do in the details of their life and their particular physical challenges. Please use me to bless them in Your Name.
In the Gentle and Compassionate Name of Jesus I pray.
Amen.
