PRAYER FOR TODAY - May 23, 2017 (Subduing Our Flesh and Asking God Where To Go From Here)

Father thank You.  Thank You for this brand new day in You.  Thank You for leading us, guiding us and for directing us.   Father we know that You are God and we know that it is Your desire for us to come to You, to ask of You, and to wait on You.  

Father You said in Your Word that we are to always pray.    For praying Your Word helps us to establish Your Word in our lives.   Father praying to You strengthens us so that we won't get weary and faint.  For when a person faints Father, they faint because they have an insufficient supply of oxygen to their brain.   Father we want a full supply of Your Word and Your wisdom so that we faint not.  

Father today we subdue our flesh because our flesh doesn't want to pray.   For to subdue means to overcome, quieten, and to bring under control.   We bring our flesh under the control of the Holy Spirit and we come to You, seeking You, and asking You to show us where to go from here.

Father we need You.   We ask that You show us the way You would have us to go.   Father we ask that You reveal the open doors in our lives.   Father we ask that You heal us and that You deliver us as only You can in Jesus name ... Amen.
