daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? When we are in the midst of turmoil and bleakness is around us, load up your heart and mind with biblical truths that help sustain. It may or may not take the pain away but it will assure us that it wont last forever. Brush aside the curtain of problems for a moment, walk through to the other side and take a look at the good around and then you become more able to deal with those things back inside that curtain. The big picture is clouded when we are in pain and woes are mounting.

Lamentations 3:22-24
The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Thy faithfulness. "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I have hope in Him."
NAS

Psalms 36:5-7
Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast. How priceless is your unfailing love!
NIV

Psalms 56:3-4
When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?
NIV

Romans 12:9-13
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
NIV

Don't despair. Remember to take the time to look outside yourself and see the things God has done and promises to do and attack those ordeals with renewed fervor!

Heavenly Father,
Enable us to see the big picture. Lord teach us to remember your Word and promises when we are feeling overloaded. Lord help us see the good and deal with the bad appropriately. Lord we thank you for your grace and love that you sent your son to save us. Thank you for our kids and we ask you keep them safe, in Jesus name, Amen
