PRAYER FOR TODAY - August 20, 2013 (Making Sure Praise Is A Part Of Our Prayer and Asking God To Empower Us To Make A Difference Today)

Are you making praise a part of your prayer?  Are you  praising God for what He has done and not just asking Him for what you want Him to do?   We have to get to a place where we are thankful.  Thankful for God's love, His grace, and His mercy.   So often we get caught up asking God for help that we fail to give Him thanks.   Make sure you are making praise a part of your prayer.  

Father thank you.  Thank you for what you have done.   Thank you for waking us up.    For meeting the needs.   For keeping us and for sustaining us.   Thank you for being there.   For wrapping your loving arms around us when we didn't know what else to do.   Thank you for confirming your word in our lives.   For showing us that you will never leave us nor forsake us.   Father thank you for all you have done and are doing in our lives.   We love you Lord.   We trust you Lord.   We believe you.   We exalt you.   We trust you.    Now Father we ask that you go before us today.   That you make every crooked place straight.  That you empower us to make a difference today.   Not just in our lives ... but let us make a difference in the lives of others today.   Father it's not about us.   It's not about what we can do or how we can get it done.   It's all about glorifying you in all that we do.   Help us to reflect your glory in our lives.  Do it now Father in Jesus name we do pray.   Amen.
