Liz's Prayers

May 2025

Dear Jesus, we love you. We have hope because you are our hope. We have faith because you faithfully love us.

 

Teach us, Lord, to be loving families.  

As our children grow, please keep them close.  Let them feel your loving spirit.  Reach out and touch them.  Show parents how to honorably teach children to honor you, themselves, and others.  

Help families to follow you, keep all eyes on you, and walk safely through this sinful world. Teach us how to model honor so that our children will want to be honorable.  

You love us, not so much because we are faithful, good, always loving, obedient every step of the way, or because we always remember to stop the devil in his tracks.  

Savior, it is because you are honorable, forgiving,  patient, kind, our teacher, and protector.

 

Thank you for touching our souls. We love you. It is in your name that we pray. Amen.

Creator of all, we come with humble spirits and open hearts giving you thanks for all you are in our lives.  We need a word from you. What words can convey all we feel?  Please hear us Lord!

 

Storms brewing everywhere are trying to sweep us up in the tempest.Strengthen our faith in your promise. 

With your help, we will steady the ground shaken by false leaders.We ask that you continue to be with us.  

Please, be patient with us and love us fiercely.

We need to speak your words -- Give us wisdom.  The world must see your light in what we do.

We know the winds and waves obey your will!  We need you to calm the threatening storms.  But as they rage on, we accept your invitation to come into the protection of your loving embrace.

It is in your name that we pray Amen.

Let’s pray together!

Coming before you, holding fast to your promise that we

can come to you with a clean heart and pray. These days, we need a word from you. How can we come before you with words that could convey all that we feel? How do we humble ourselves enough so that you will want to hear from us? With so much going on in the world that may be new to us but is age-old to you, where do we stand?

Wherever this world might be heading, we thank you for being there, your patience, and all that you have been, are, and will be. Thank you, God!!

Storms are brewing on every hand, and debris keeps trying to sweep us up in the tempest. We keep trying to stand firm in the waves and hold on to our faith in all you promise.

So many who lead are being blown and tossed in ways that would drown your creation. However, you stand and steady the

ground while inviting us to come into the protection of your loving embrace.

At this moment, we ask that you continue to be with us, increase our faith, please be patient with us, and love us unconditionally.

Give us wisdom, so that others will hear your word coming from our lips. Grant us a loving and forgiving spirit, so that as you forgive us, we will forgive others.

Let your light shine through us out into this troubled world. God, who is in heaven, please quiet and protect us from the storms.

It is in your matchless name that we pray, Amen.

What a mighty God we serve! We stretch out our hands to you as humbly as we know how, asking you to place us on a path that leads to your righteousness, your justice, your peace, and your love.  

People are worried, anxious, and saddened.  Please allow the Holy Spirit to comfort.  Leaders have turned away from all that is good and right.  

 

Help us to be courageous in our quest to reorder this upside-down world.  We need you to shine brightly in dark places.  

 

With your help we will shine also.  Keeping hope and sharing love we lift this prayer in the name of Jesus.  Amen.
