Our Father in Heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today your daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
Amen.
Dear Lord,
I give thanks to you for the life of Naaman and his servants that urged him to do what Elisha had instructed him to do. Honestly, looking at my own life story and knowing my weaknesses and faults, I know I have not been following closely with you. your words. I pray for perseverance and persistence in faith especially. Its not that I have no faith or lost faith in you Lord, but somehow it all comes down to service and living a life that is worthy to be called your child. I pray in the same way I could be like Naaman and take up the courage to believe in your servants to do what is right and stay by you. I pray for myself that I will take time to learn and study in the last few months of my service to the country as an NSF. I pray for a undemanding spirit, a broken and contrite heart. Change my heart O Lord.. make it ever true. I also pray for the love that I have within me that I will learn to show love to people around me also that they could also feel the love of you.
Lifting up the service to you coming Friday and the many friends that have not known you that you might continue to bless them and open their hearts that one day they will draw close to you.
Lifting also my friends that are in studies and work that you will continue to guide them in spirit and work also that they will do well knowing that your presence has never left them.
giving thanks in your most precious name,
Amen
