Part of learning to pray and growing in our prayer lives is actually doing it (praying that is). So for the next couple of weeks (at least) I will be sharing with you my own prayers. These topics and issues are close to my heart. These printed words are words of conversation that I have with God both publicly as a pastor and privately as a follower of Christ. I hope that they help to give voice to the countless millions that are praying along similar lines all over the world.
Here is today's prayer:
Holy God, we pray today for the provision of those that find themselves unemployed or under-employed. Grant them the fortitude, grace and strength to make it through today.
Make hope a reality in their lives through your provision.
Give those with greater resources discernment and wisdom regarding how they can truly love their neighbors in the reality of this ever present and true need. Grant them the compassion and grace to act in micro and macro ways to bring healing and wholeness to these places of not enough.
We ask these things in Christ's holy and precious name. Amen.
