Today’s Prayer (01/16/2019)

Oh Lord, I am so grateful to know that You came down to save us all from our sins. We were looking for a Messiah and You came down willingly, in order to sacrifice Your life for mankind. On the cross, You bore our burdens and felt our griefs. What a Savior! There is no one like You, God. You are so wonderful and can do all things in my life for good. You are my Counselor and I am safe with You giving me direction. You are the Prince of Peace, for Your peace has overflowed into my life and now all my burdens are made light because You give me rest. You are mighty to save, dear God. You are my Father and I lifted You up high. I look forward to the day when I shall see You in judgement. For I will humbly bow and bask in all Your glory. Oh how beautiful You are, in all Your ways. Thank You for bringing Your gospel to us all, by extending it to the gentiles also. I am a fruit of this Lord. Whereas there are now millions of other people also that now believe in You, because of You have opened the door to us. Thank You for unfolding Your salvation to everyone. I am so grateful and give You the glory. You are my God and I can do all things in Your Name. Lead us from temptation Lord and show us the way. Help us live a life of faith, that is pleasing unto You. I love You Lord. You are my hope and the rock of my salvation. In Your Holy Name, I pray. Amen.

The Root Of Jesse
