HEAR OUR PRAYER

.

“Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.”

Psalm 86: 6, 7

(King James Version)

Heavenly Father, we come to You this morning with heavy hearts. We are in trouble! There is so much violence in our land. Every day we read in the newspapers about someone who has been killed. Dear God, please help us to get back to the plan You originally had for us when You created us. Help us to love one another unconditionally and live in peace with one another. Forgive us, Father, for hurting You.

I believe as You look down and see the way we treat Your beloved Son that Your heart is broken day after day. Help us to realize that Your beloved Son, the Saviour of the world, is not a puppet to perform when we want Him to do something for us. May we stop treating Jesus like He is a puppet and only call on Him when we need something. Help us to treat Him with the respect that He so richly deserves.

Cleanse our hearts, Father. Make us fit for the Master’s use. Help us to get out of our comfort zones and spread the good news of our risen Saviour and His unconditional love. There are so many people, Heavenly Father, who feel all alone and they are hurting. They desperately need to know they are loved. May we carry the light of Jesus to a world that is in darkness starting with our own families and friends. Amen.
