PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Heavenly Father,

Your Word is a lamp to our feet and light to our path.

Speak to us today.

Teach us to keep our eyes on your commandments.

May we do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with you all of our days, O LORD.

May we not be a part of someone else’s quarrel; it is not ours.

May we not be like the unwise picking up a dog by the ears.

Our paths have many turns. Help us to stay within your guardrails.

It is so hard to be patient, but encourage us to wait and trust that you will fulfill your purpose for our lives.

While we lift up praise to you, hear our pleas for healing, provision, and protection.

We cry out for the salvation for lost souls and forgive us when we fail you.

Father, be with each saint today.

LORD Jesus, be an advocate for us.

Holy Spirit, be alive within us.

Together, let’s assault the gates of hell and save some lost souls.

For we pray in the name of Jesus,

Amen
