Devotion to the Lord: prayer for the needy!

Devotion to the Lord: Lord, help me not to lean on my understanding but in everything I recognize you so that you can direct my words, thoughts and actions. Father, I'm tempted to worry about so many things. Our world is a mess! Forgive me if I focus on anything or anyone but you. Thank you for the bible that prepares me and authorizes me to live every day. At this moment, I declare that you are my only hope. Please help me remember that you are truly in control. 

Sir, thank you for your greatness. Thank you that when I am weak, you are strong. Lord, the devil is plotting and I know he wishes to stop me from spending time with you. Don't let him win! Give me a measure of your strength so that I don't give in to discouragement, deception and doubt! Help me honor you in all my ways. 

thank you for creating each of us in a frightening and wonderful way. Thank you for giving us value in your eyes. Help us live as what you only wanted us to be. Help us to dwell instead of striving, living peacefully and joyfully as heirs of Your Kingdom and joint heirs of Christ. I'm so sorry for the way I complain about my circumstances. Please forgive me for my bad attitude when things don't go my way. I want to see Your hand in every part of the day, good or bad.

Help me to learn how to face any storm with confidence, knowing that you are truly in control even if I can't hear your voice or see your hand at work. Dear Father God, thank you for your unfailing love for me, for your blessings and for your kindness. Thank you for your faithfulness in guiding me and seeing me in moments of uncertainty, for lifting me up and putting me on high. Thank you for the Scripture that comforts me and reminds me of your promises, plans and provisions. I hope you enjoyed this devotion to the Lord.
