A Midday Prayer

A Midday Prayer

Lord God Almighty, I come to You by faith. I choose to pause in the middle of my day.

I seek You earnestly in my prayers.

Thank You for the privilege of prayer. Thank You for being accessible any time. Thank You for answering payers in Your time and in Your ways.

You provided me with the greatest miracle when I was born again. My salvation has brought me into direct relationship with You. The sacrifice of Your Son on the cross made this possible.

Jesus Christ said that I am the light of the world and the salt of the earth. I believe that is a fact, even though it does not feel like it much of the time.

You are at work in me to conform me into the image of Your dear Son. You have been gradually transforming me from the inside to the outside.

Your Holy Spirit that dwells in me prompts me to desire Your righteousness. Little by little I find that I dislike my sinful habits and want to do right.

You are patiently at work using Your Word to renew my mind. As I read the Bible, hear sermons and listen to Bible lessons my thinking improves.

Your Word reminds me of how difficult it can be to bridle my tongue. Only by Your grace and the indwelling Holy Spirit do I want to control what I say.

God, much of this day is past and much still remains. I request Your wisdom in how to best use my time both today and in the future days.

God, may I be quick to hear others and slow to speak. Work in me to be an instrument of Your kindness.

Your Word says that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Guide me in how to best take care of my body.

You have made me with a unique combination of personality, talents and spiritual gifts. I ask for You to guide my choices and commitments so that I am a good steward of these.

Your loving kindness is wonderful and Your blessings are many. May I notice You in my daily life and give You thanks from a heart of genuine gratitude.
