PRAYER FOR TODAY - December 1, 2011 (Speaking To The Storms Of Life and Commanding Them To Cease and Calling Forth Faith and Favor)

Thank you Father.   Thank you for being God.   Thank you for being the one who loves us.   Who cares for us.   Who keeps us and protects us.   Thank you for being our Father and our friend.    God you are good.   You are gracious.   You are merciful.   YOU ARE King.    We trust you Lord.   We thank you Lord.   We praise YOU.   For you are good and worthy to be praised.   

Father you said in your word that whatsoever things we ask praying and believing.....you will do.   Father we pray your word today.    We come to you asking that you honor your word in our lives and the lives of people throughout this world.   Your world needs you.    They need your peace.   They need your healing.   They need your help.    Father you said in Isaiah 41 for us to fear not.   You assured us that you are with us.   You told us to not be dismayed for you are our God.    Father you said that you would strengthen us and uphold us with your righteousness.   Father we receive your word today.   We trust your word today.   We rest in your word TODAY.  

Father we love you and need you.   We need you to breathe.   Let our breadths be solely in you and FOR you.    Father let us recognize your presence in everything that we do.    Strengthen us to make good choices today.   Let our choices reflect who you are in our lives.    Let our steps coincide with your goodness, your grace, and YOUR word Father.    Let us not live in self.....but let us sacrifice self to live in you.   

Father we thank you today and praise you for your goodness.    We lift up our family and friends before you and ask that you move in their lives like never before.   That you heal broken bodies and restore the joy of their salvation.   We ask that your provision becomes prevalent in our lives today.   We pray for peace in the midst of every storm that seems to be overtaking our lives.   We speak to storms NOW in Jesus name and we command them to cease.   We command disruption to cease.   We command sickness to cease.   We command lack to cease.   For Father to cease means to stop or to be put to an end.   We call an end to these things in our lives and the lives of those around us.    Father we call forth faith and favor.    Faith to believe you.   To believe that you are who you said you are and that you will do what you said you would do.    Favor to make it through the hard places in life.    Father favor gives us preference.   We thank you for the preferential treatment that you  give to us as your children.   Father let your favor be seen today.   Let your power, your goodness,  your grace, and your mercy be seen in our lives today.  

We love you Lord and thank you for allowing us to live your life.   For this life is not our own.   We belong to you and we put our hope and our trust in you.   For you and your word are one.  

In Jesus name we do pray.   Amen.
