You Are Not the Only One

Good morning, friends; in these challenging times, let us come together in prayer…

Dear Father in Heaven,

I ask You to give me the grace to be a faithful witness for You during times of blessing and to help me remain steadfast in lean and challenging times as well. I pray that I will be a consistent witness for You “in season and out of season,” as Paul encouraged us, convincing, rebuking, and exhorting with all longsuffering and teaching. Thank you for the cross and the resurrection of Jesus, our Savior, which gives us direct access to the throne of grace! 2 Timothy 4:2 NKJV.

I pray for my family, that they may know, love, and serve You all their lives. Lord, I also pray for my church family and online friends. We are in the fire again, but just as You delivered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the fiery furnace, You will deliver us today. Daniel 1:6–7; 3:1–6 NKJV.

I pray for peace of mind for those who are uncertain about their next step. I also ask that hateful rhetoric associated with our nation’s leaders will ease, and that You open the eyes of Your children as we read the news, granting them discernment. Lord, help us remember there is only one deliverer and salvation comes only from You. Abba, please remind us not to focus on the negative, but to stand on Your promises. As a community, let us lift our voices in prayer for these special requests, uniting in faith and love. Together, we bring these needs before our Heavenly Father, humbly asking for Your healing touch on our land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 NKJV.

Remind us, Lord, that we are members of Your family. Where there is doubt, grant reassurance; where there is sorrow, give comfort; where there is an ounce of faith, send hope, love, and joy in abundance. I praise You, Almighty God, for Your unwavering love and mercy. I pray all this in the sovereign name of Jesus, Amen.
