Daily Prayers with Me

Prayer of Confession: Almighty God, We may remember the great man and women who came before us. Who have shaped us to be a people of pride and to be proud of where we have come from. Yet we forget to acknowledge that any events in our history that are worth being proud of were meant to honor you. To show your glory and grace. Not in the powerful moments where nations concord nations, and people oppressed. But in the justice, you have given root to and the freedom of acceptance that you have intend this world to be rich in diversity beyond aperients but in our thoughts and in our lives. God forgive us for not learning from the lessons passed when we sin today like our ancestors had. When we bury our heads and death in our ears to your call to repent and to become truly a new creation. For it is in the new creation we fear that we shame our ancestors. We put the past before the time that is now and the pain that is now. Lord God we as for your eternal forgiveness to be in our lives today...

In this we pray in your holy and precious name. Amen.   Because I have time to reflect on the harvest of the work that has been done, I prayed: Loving God,  I see where I am today and give you thanks.  I remember where I was in the hardship’s hour before me.

Prayer of Thanksgiving: Lord of all,  We give you things that we have things in our lives so we can still anticipate. It makes the waiting in our lives more bearable.

Most of the prep work maybe small.  Some of the prep work might be important. There’re some things I can remember to put on the list.  Lord,...

Prayer of Confession: Lord God, Some days it is hard to wait and see your good work in our lives and in our world. We want change to come quickly in our lives for our comfort, then worry about the welfare of the needs of our neighbors. We want the storms in our lives to just blow over, so we don’t have to acknowledge our heart-ack and pain. We don’t see your intent. We don’t see what good can come from finding challenges in our lives. We don’t know what we ask that might take way form the life and blessing you have planned for our neighbors. How you work to bless us all when things don’t go our way and on our time. Help us to wait and see the good you have planned for our lives in your time. That the things we demand from you might be more then we can bear if the time is not right. Much like the heartfelt desire for your kingdom to come into our world. We want to see a greater good you have planned in the lives our world and community. Help us then to do what good we can today in faith...

Because I took some time to remember those who have passed, I prayed: Lord God,  You’re a wonder. The stories of death tell of your mystery and compassion for our individuality. For a boat on the water. A friend, angels, or loved one by our side. Sometimes you show yourself to us, as Christ, light, a great hand. We are in dust, and we are in water. Yet we are all called to come before you when our time comes. Be with us in our comings, stand with us when we see those we love got to be by your side, and when our time comes be true to who you are my Lord.

Prayer of Confession: Merciful Lord God, There are times that out of our sadness we have a hard time showing your love. There are times when we don’t feel your love for us. We feel like no other can feel our pain of lose. Because we feel that they don’t know us or our depth of sadness we keep others away. Yet even when we keep our neighbors away, we can never push you, your love and understanding of great sorrow away.

Prayer of Adoration: Lord God, how great is your mercy for us? For you say ‘blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted. You show great love the widow, for the orphans, for the week, for the broken, for the stranger. We are people who have experienced lots of love. We are also people who have experienced a loss of home. We are people who have experienced loss of dreams.

And of the gifts that you bless us with that e do not see and may never know. We give you thanks for the gift of our lives and the lives of those that we are blessed to love freely with your love. Even a love for our enemies when we feel that there is no common grounds. What bind us together is you. And for that we give you our thanks with all that we can and all that we are.

Prayer of Confession: Great God Almighty, we ask for your mercy to be present in our lives. Anger is like candles fire burning to show the world unseen in the dark and has a chance to be beautiful. But we confess that we do not always show our anger in ways that help show the wonder of your world. For we are not always wise when it comes to the gift of power our anger can bring. Sometimes, we feel a desire to burn bridges then build bridges when it comes to relationships. There are times we want to deny our anger and seek reason when reason does not always respect our personhood you have given each of us. By doing so we dime the light you have given to us. There are times when we use our anger for our own personal gain. And there are times we do not even know that we feel angry, and let our anger take control of us. Rather the us guiding our anger to shine light on hurt, pain, and injustice with your love alongside. Lord for give us our sins for there are times to build and space neede...

Prayer of Adoration: Loving God, in my youth I saw anger as being something negative. I saw angry people as being destructive and someone to fear. I have been told that your anger is great and so you are slow to anger. Yet as I get older and have truly looked at anger and you, I find in my soul reason to admire that you gave us freely such a gift as anger in our lives. For without anger who are we in the core of our being that we have no advocate to stand up for us when we are hurting, when our life needs to speak truth, and for your justice to be done? If we did not know ourselves, how do we, Lord God, serve you truly as ourselves. How do we truly serve you from our depths that you have uniquely created us to be. We often overlook that even though you are slow to anger Lord you do show anger not to burn like us but to cleans and make room for change in our lives. How holy is your fire and the invitation you offer us to use your anger with justice and with love that with sorrow gave bi...

Prayer of Thanksgiving: God, we have much to be thankful for when it comes to what you do for us. You are our confer in times of destress. You are the protector and sustainer of our lives.

When we fear that we have nothing to give you help us see that we may have more then we can imagen and for this we give you thanks. God of all things good we desire to give you what courage we can to share the love you bravely give us with those around us so that they may know your love. Help us to give that love and that it may give you all our heartfelt thanks. Amen.   Because I like these random prayers, I prayed: God almighty, I have prayers that I never knew that I have it in me to pray.  The moment when life becomes tough.  The moment that happens so randomly that I never knew that I would encounter in my life.  The times I think of your name in a moment and never would have s...

Prayer of Illumination: Great Lord Almighty, if we look carefully, we can see that for you, our fear is a light flickering in the darkness to make us aware that you are close. For it is in such times that we come looking for you. We look for your protection and you’re understanding for the things we cannot and do not understand. In this time of safety in your presents, may we be enables to learn from your good word again. That we many see with a renewed light of the parts of life that feel us with fear. That we might continue to see more of your good work that we miss because of the times we let our fear prevent us from seeing. Be with us in this time now Lord God and always as we continue to grow in the light of your eternal life. In your Christ holy name. Amen. 

Prayer of Confession: Merciful God, we feel fear often in a world of change. We fear things we do not know. We fear people we do not know. We fear you when life becomes uncertain. We fear being wrong and we sometimes fear what it means to be right. Especially when saying what is right confesses that what we did was wrong. Lord there are times when we let our fear get the better of us and keep us from accepting the good you have planned not only for our lives but also the lives of our neighbors near and far. Forgive us God for when our fear becomes an excuse for our perpetual sins. Forgive us when we fail to learn from our pass sins and empower us to truly learn from our past that we may be enabled to receive forgiveness in our life and accept the gift of a life transformed by your grace. This we pray in your precious name. 

Prayer of Adoration: Almighty God, we may know much about our world. Yet we still find time that we do not know the depths of the wonder you have created. Such depth fills us with delight and fear. We marvel at your power and fear your anger Lord of all. We see the sky and find ourselves full of dreams. Equally we fear the depths of what resides beyond. We explore the seas and wonder of the dark depths. Knowing that even your light shines in every corner of our seas. For we know that nothing created can be found missing from your sight. Not even the smallest sparrow. God of protection and strength we give you our thanks for being the constant wonderful marvel. That you do protect us and encourage us to grow and thrive in this world you made. In your holy name we pray. Amen.

Amen.   Prayer of Thanksgiving: Loving God, we are thankful beyond our words. Even the depths of our hearts cannot contain our gratitude.

For the that which we remember and for the times which we may not remember your love for us, we give you our heartfelt thanks and selves to show they would your unending goodness. This we pray in your great name. Amen.    Because I remembe...

Prayer of Confession: Lord God Eternal, there are times we wish we can forget. There are times we wish we did not sin agents you, yet we choose to ignore your desire for us to live in as people of faith. There are times we do not acknowledge our sins to you. Sometimes, we believe that since it is seen as good for the ways of this world, it must also be seen as good for you. Sometimes, we do not even know time we have sinned. God of Grace, we ask that you forgive us and help us to remember. To remember the lessons of our past. To remember to forgive each other as we come to you to seek forgiveness. And if we are to forget these times, Lord God, we ask that you remind us of out of your eternal love. Amen. 

Prayer of Adoration:       Amazing God, what a wonder it is that you remember us. That you never leave us in times of trouble or distress. For the times when we cry out for you, you hear our cries.

You still love us with a love eternal. For that we give you our love and praise. In your wonderful name we pray. Amen.
