Prayer for Wednesday

Lord our God, we thank You for sending into our lives so much that turns our thoughts to things above and enables us always to look heavenward to You and Your majesty. Through Jesus Christ plant within us what is of Heaven above and help us to set aside all earthly distractions. Send what is of Heaven into every single life that belongs to You and into the lives of all peoples, so that something good and righteous may arise and the glory does not go to the Devil but to Your Holy Spirit, Your Heavenly Spirit alone. In their stubbornness and blindness people tend to do evil, but You can turn it all to the good for Your purpose. You can change everything. This is our faith. Our hope is in You and our Redeemer, and we want to put our lives in Your hands. Bless us with Heavenly riches, spiritual gifts and anointing. We ask all of You, through Jesus our Lord.

Amen.
