Commentary Appropriate For Today’s Changing World

Prayer


Philippians 4:6-7

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Lord, I come before you today to acknowledge that you are the Creator and Designer of the universe. There is none like you. You, and you alone, hold the universe in the palm of your hand. You are the Beginning and the End…the Alpha and Omega. As your word says, “What is man, that you are mindful of him”?

Father, I confess my sin before you. Please forgive my selfishness, anger, and yes, lack of faith. Lord, I confess that all too often, I rely on myself, rather than you, to accomplish your ends here on earth. I forget that you are able to accomplish all things. Lord, I admit that often times I fail to conduct myself an a manner that is worthy of the gospel of Christ.

First, and foremost, thank you Lord for your love for me. Thank you for your redeeming grace and the promise of eternal life. Thank you that you are Jehovah Jira, our God, the provider. Thank you that you know my needs, even before I am able to express them.

Father, grant me the wisdom, grace, and strength that is necessary to accomplish your will in my life. In all that I do and say, help me to be ever mindful that I am your servant and that my words and deeds should reflect that.

I ask these things in the name of your Son, and my Lord, Jesus Christ.
Amen

    My hushand and I are currently seperated, we have been for 6 weeks. He is falling for the lies of satan, going out partying all the time, getting into who knows what else, and being selfish, leaving me, our 4 year old daughter at home to deal with the loss. I am pregnant with his 2nd child. Ron has a lot of demons that he is dealing with and does make strides, we were attending church and he has been with me once since we split up, but it’s a hard time for me dealing with being pregnant, much less the seperation and being at home worrying that he might fall into adultery. I pray all the time to the Lord and he has given me a peace, but sometimes, I have a hard time telling which way is up. Maybe I just don’t know where to look. I feel like I am losing my faith because the more I pray, the less I feel like anything happening from God.

    I ask that you pray for my marriage, you pray for my husband to battle his demons and opens his ears to hear God’s voice. . .please. Prayer means so much to me right now, I would really appreciate it.

    Thank you so much for your time, Megan
