Never let an impossible situation intimidate you. Instead let it motivate you to pray more.
Opening Prayer
Faithful Father, I take this time to humble myself before you, for you are loyal, true, steadfast and trustworthy. You are my firm foundation on which I stand. You are a faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just are you (Deuteronomy 32:4b). Jesus, you are so faithful, because you are the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13:8 ESV). Lord Jesus, help me to faithfully pray “in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests” (Ephesians 6:18).
Meditate On - God’s Faithfulness
Lord God, you are always true to your promises. You can never draw back from your promises of blessing or of judgment. Since you cannot lie, you are totally steadfast in what you have spoken. Lord, because of your great love, I am not consumed. Your compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness (Lamentations 3:22-23).
Worship, Adore, Praise
“O LORD, God Almighty, who is like you? You are mighty, O LORD, and your faithfulness surrounds you (Psalm 89:8). “Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds” (Psalm 36:5 ESV). You are a faithful God, who keeps your covenant of love to a thousand generations, of those who love you and keep your commandments (Deuteronomy 7:9). You are my God, and I will praise and exalt you (Exodus 15:2). You Lord are faithful and will establish me and guard me against the evil one (2 Thessalonians 3:3 ESV). Jesus, I thank you that I can trust in your holy name, that is faithful and true and endures forever!
