O Benevolent Master, I am overjoyed with Your promise that assures me that … if I will ask, it shall be given to me … and, if I seek, I will find what I am looking for … and, if I knock, the door will be opened to me. With this encouragement to be in persistent prayer, I am confident that You will not only hear my pleas but respond to them as well. Because I am Your child, even though I become confused and lose my way, I am trusting that You will be there to guide me back to safety and show me the way to live uprightly. As I have navigated the troubled waters of life, You’ve always been my compass steering me in the right direction whenever I’ve sought You in prayer. Because of my consistent dialogue with You, life has taken on new meaning. There is no better way to cling to You and feel Your strength undergirding me than to spend time with You. Prayer connects us in a way that nothing else can.
I know that my life has a purpose and to achieve it there must be a plan. When I connect with You in prayer, I believe You will make clear to me the path I should travel. With You guiding me, I have hope for tomorrow and strength for the tasks of today. Though troubles and sorrows create issues for me to deal with, I trust that in Your wisdom You will make Your feelings known to me. As each test comes into my life, if I’ll not forget to reach out to You in prayer, I know I can meet whatever challenges may come my way because You will be with me. With Your help, I can cast aside each problem and boldly face up to my fears. In Your love I find understanding, peace, forgiveness and fellowship. As long as I reach out to You in prayer, I know my way will be made easier and my life will be spent doing worthwhile things.
Each day that I spend with You on earth is filled in happiness and love. They offer an opportunity to give You thanks for my life and all of the good things that fill it. I must never begin a day without spending some time with You seeking my direction and giving thanks for all of the blessings You’ve provided. When I make the time to fellowship with You, I come away feeling that … my needs will be met … You will infuse me with joy to strengthen me for whatever challenges I face … and, my hope for a better future will become more real. I rejoice in the fact that I can call You “My Lord” and be assured that You will help me prevail in any situation I face. I give thanks for each wonderful day and the time spent with You. I will try to never forget that my best days are days spent in prayer with You. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
I Thessalonians 5:16-17 Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
