Lesson of the Day

Prayer for You Today

May the Blessings of the Lord make you rich, prosperous, able to meet every situation, abundantly supplied in Christ Jesus. May He make you able and expectant to enjoy all those blessings and give thanks to Him for them in all situations. May He increase the borders of your influence for Him that the impact of His presence in you would affect others to want to know Him more intimately.

Father, these are my friends. I ask you to give this one all they need according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus this new day every day. Allow grace to overflow them with strength for every task. Allow mercy to be emblazoned in front of them, new every morning, that they never be concerned about the mistakes and failures and fears of yesterday. Let them go about their day recognizing Your hand at work for blessing in their life.

Guard, Father, behind them, in front of them, and to the side of them. Let no plague or disease come near their home and heart. Be their courage and confidence. Exit pain from their body, heart, and mind. Let freedom for today ring in their ears. Paint a fresh horizon for them to see Your blessing and Your path in which lies more blessing and fulfillment.

To grasp firmly the opportunities of today release your grasp gently on the accomplishments and mistakes of yesterday.

Happy New Year! Happy New Day!
