Encouragement Prayer

Lord,

Today I pray for my friends that are facing tough times. I pray that you would encourage them to press on a little further, to continue on with the race. Father I pray that you would open the doors of opportunity for those that are looking for jobs. I pray God that you would heal the hearts of those that are broken, that you would give them joy in the midst of pain, let them feel your presence. Please help those that are faced with loosing their homes, that they would have peace.

There are so many obstacles that come our way to distract us from what you have called us to and sometimes God our lives seem untied, but we know that you are there, waiting to help us...Thank You!

God as we stretch our hand out to you, we ask that you continue to lead the way, lead us through the paths and intersections of life. Thank you for being a consistent friend that listens when we talk. Today I pray that you would have a reason to smile, a reason to live and a reason to praise God for his goodness, may he strengthen your heart and encourage you through his word.

In Jesus Name,

Amen
