Prayer Corner

Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come.

Your will be done

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

As we forgive our debtors.

And do not lead us into temptation,

But deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Heavenly Father,

I come to You as humble I can, for I am standing in the gap not just for me and mine but others, Lord, help us all.

Bless those who are emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually afflicted. I ask You to go a step further and heal. Yes, we all want our families healed because we recognize, if it be Your desire, You yet have the power to turn the situation around. But there are times when You say differently, give us the strength to cope and to hold on as a family and unit as well.

Blow a supernatural anointing on the babies. Lord (those already born and those about to enter this world)....yes, we will always claim our children as babies for You loaned them to us and we give them back to You and we ask You to watch them daily, regardless of chronological age!!!

Continue to be with those of us as we drive or travel daily. We are not the only ones who see all the devastating effects of a sixty second incident. Lord, please help us DAILY... We are mere morsels, wrapped up, tied up, and tangled up in this cruel world trying to do better daily!!!

Lord, help us to continue to remove the lint from our eyes so we can be less apt to not remember to pray; remove the plugs from our ears so we can be less apt to remember not to pray; remove those filters which block our lazy man so we can get back to being!!!!

Lord, we also want to thank You!! You didn’t have to wake us this morning.

You didn't have to allow us to hear Your voice. You didn’t have to allow us to drive past those two burning vehicles, while we yet prayed, recognizing it could have been us. You didn't have to allow us to have a roof over our head. You didn’t have to allow us to walk out of the hospital just recently and You are yet working it out. You didn't have to allow illness and death to be all around, but You said peace be still.

See, when it’s not alright, it yet aches and pains because You are the Doctor of all Doctor's; Lawyer of all Lawyers; and the one who truly will never judge!!! Lord, help us all to love just a little bit more. Lord, help us all to forgive just a little more. Lord, help us all to strive just a little more. As we conclude this prayer, we just want to thank You for not letting us be ashamed to pray publicly. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen
