Good morning, God
Lord, there are many men and women of every age and stage of life praying with us this morning. They perhaps listen to these prayers all the time, or perhaps for some reason are listening by happenstance this day. However, after any of us listens, Lord, we are listening for a word from you. We listen for encouragement, for direction, for discipline (yes, Lord, we often want someone to tell us that what we are doing and the way we are living is not the right way, so we listen to be told by you). We also listen for forgiveness – forgiveness for what we have done wrong or the strength to forgive someone for what they did to us.
In whatever the case, Lord Jesus, we know that your help is available for the asking. Then, there is a ton of help available all around us with 12-step programs, prayer services, support groups. If it is needed by someone, it is available for the asking.
Gracious God, lead us to the help we need today, for you love us and want us to have life abundantly – and help us make all the right choices.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
