A Prayer For Peace

Father, the cares of this world often press in on us and weigh our hearts down.  It’s not your desire that we carry a heavy load because You are the Burden Bearer.  You use the difficult circumstances of our lives to bring glory to Yourself as You bring spiritual maturity into our relationship with You.  Our faith is strengthened and our understanding deepened as You take the evil that Satan hurls at us and turn it into glorious occasion for Your power to be released and deliverance to take place.  You are the same God who led us into battle that will also lead us to victory in Jesus name, Amen.

A Prayer Of Honor For Parents

“Father, we honor our parents today, whether they’re living or deceased. You gave them to us so they could love, provide, nurture and guide us into maturity and independence. Help us to return our love to them as we thoughtfully respond to their changing needs. May they be able to depend on us even as we have depended on them throughout the years. When present circumstances make this responsibility extremely difficult give us the needed wisdom and creative means to still carry out the command to honor our father and mother.  In the name of Your Son, Jesus, we pray.  Amen.”
