PRAYER FOR TODAY - December 21, 2016 (Calling Those Things That Be Not As Though They Were In Prayer)

Thank You Father for helping us to walk in your love, peace, power, and forgiveness. Help us to see You in every situation concerning our lives. Father help us to heal from the pain of our past. We need You Father. We need You to not only show us the way but to help us on this path called life. Father we are calling out and crying out to You for Your help.

Father Your Word says for us to call those things that be not as though they were. So today Father we speak life. We speak life to our lives and to the lives of those around us. Father we speak that we are healed by the stripes of Jesus. Father we speak that every need in our lives is met because Your Word says that You know the things we have need of and that You are faithful and just to provide us with those things. Father we speak peace because Your Word shows us that You will give us peace in the midst of the storm. Father we speak forth joy because we know that the joy of the Lord is our strength.

Father thank You for all that You have done for us. Thank You for loving us beyond measure. For truly there are no limits to Your love. Father we love You and we praise You in Jesus name ... Amen.

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 1 Corinthians 13:7-10Amplified Bible (AMP)

7 Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening].

7 Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening].

8 Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]. But as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for the gift of special knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part [for our knowledge is fragmentary and incomplete]. 10 But when that which is complete and perfect comes, that which is incomplete and partial will pass away.
