I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. (1 Timothy 2:1-2)
LIFE IS FRAGILE . . . HANDLE WITH PRAYER
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever
May this prayer reinforce deep in your heart the comforting truth that God is your Shepherd.
Lord, You are everything to me. You protect me, guide me, and heal me. Under your care, my life is at its best. You provide all my needs and bring peace to my soul. With You, I flourish. For Your own glory, you lead me on paths that lead to life. I will never regret following You. Lord, even when those paths wind through stressful and painful situations, I know that I don’t walk through them alone. For even there You are beside me, taking me by the hand and guiding me. All that would seek to harm me must contend with You. Lord, you have brought me into an intimate relationship with you, giving me a seat at Your table. You give me everything I need and more. God, you do not withhold good from me. Your goodness is not given to me reluctantly. Rather, your mercy and goodness pursue me. And because of Your mercy, seen supremely in the giving of Your Son Jesus Christ, I know that I will enjoy a full, unending life with you on a new earth that is free of danger and full of pastures. In Jesus Name, Amen
