Prayer for Wednesday 7-6-2022

Dear Father in Heaven, open our hearts to the wonder of being able to call You Father, the wonder of being united with You and how awesome that blessing is. You are the source of all life and strength. In You is redemption, and we need to be redeemed before we can live rightly. Take from us the pressures forced on us by the flood of events in the world around us. Make us completely free as people led by Your powerful and sovereign might, people who may be joyful because everything will be overcome through the power You grant us in Jesus Christ. Protect us from fear, doubt and from all forms of evil. Show more and more clearly Your good and wonderful goal for all peoples and nations on earth, so that in expectation they may find happiness even in all the stress of today. For the glory and the honor, we ask these requests in Jesus’ name!

Amen.
