5-4-2022 Devotion: Prayer

 Today, I begin posting some sample prayers that are designed to serve as a springboard to your prayer time. Prayer is not so much about asking for things as it is building a relationship with God. We will start with a sample morning prayer and evening prayer. Speak the words slowly and reflectively.

Morning Prayer

Blessed Heavenly Father, we thank You and praise You

That You have protected us through the night

And mercifully restored our souls to us.

We are refreshed and ready for Your calling today.


As we follow Your commandments today

May we show the compassion and love of Christ

To one of Your creations today.


May our lives be a blessing to You today;

And also to someone who needs to see You in us.

No matter what occurs today, let us never forget that 

This is the day You have made and we will rejoice and be glad in it.


All power and authority is with You

And we will praise You today.

In Yeshua’s name,

Amen.

Evening Prayer

Blessed Holy One, my redeemer, God and King;

I thank You for Your guiding hand today

Your protection and faithfulness

To myself, my family, my church and the persecuted.


Allow us to lie down and rest this evening.

May our dreams not trouble our sleep

And may we have Your peace surrounding us.


Let us awake tomorrow refreshed

To do Thy service, trusting in Thy grace,

And mercy to carry us through the dark hours of the night.

All our love to You.


In Yeshua’s Name,

Amen.
