Lamentations 3
Lamentations 3:3 Lord, even when Your hand feels heavy on me, let me trust Your love and do Your will.
Lamentations 3:22-24 Lord, I praise You because of Your unfailing love for us! Your mercy has kept us from complete destruction. Your faithfulness is so great. Lord! Your mercies are fresh and new each morning. I put all my hope in You.
Lamentations 3:25-26 Father God, waiting especially patiently, isn’t something I find easy to do. Help me to seek You, expecting that You will bring good things to pass for me. Help me to wait quietly for You to show me Your salvation in any distress.
Lamentations 3:30 Lord, turning the other cheek isn’t something I do well, either! Please help me to be better in responding in love instead of anger to those who insult or abuse us.
Lamentations 3:40 Lord, help me not to complain about adversity in my life. Help me to accept Your discipline as an expression of Your love to turn me from rebellion or disobedience. Help me to test and examine my ways today, and humbly repent of any sin in my life.
Lamentations 3:49 Lord, please give me a thoroughly repentant heart; let tears flow down my cheeks when I depart from Your good, perfect, and pleasing will (Romans 12:2).
Lamentations 3:58 Father, thank You for sending Jesus, our lawyer, who lives forever to plead with You for those who believe ( Hebrews 7:25). Help us to entrust ourselves completely to Your care because You are just in all Your dealings.
Lamentations 4
Lamentations 4:1 Lord, I pray that the riches of this world will have little allure to us. Please help us to value the things You value and disdain what You disdain.
Lamentations 4:13 Lord, open our eyes from all blindness and show us vividly how destructive sin is to our well-being.
Lamentations 4:17 I look only to You Lord for my life, health,happiness, and salvation. Forgive me when I look anywhere else for what I need. You alone are my God, my provider.
Lamentations 5
Lamentations 5:1 Lord, You know better than anyone else all the details of my life. You know the joy and sorrow, the hurt and happiness, all of it. I praise You that You are merciful and extend Your grace to me, even at the lowest points in my life.
Lamentations 5:19 Lord, I praise You because You remain the same forever! Your throne continues from generation to generation. I will trust Your eternal, unchanging love in every circumstance.
Ecclesiastes 5
Ecclesiastes 5:4-6 Lord, help me to be careful not to be flippant in prayer. Help me to weigh carefully what I intend to say before You, and when I make a commitment I pray for Your grace to fulfil it.
Ecclesiastes 5:7 Lord, make me diligent to add hard work to the dreams You put in my heart and mind. Never let my dreaming of the future become a substitute for action. Keep me away from speaking presumptuously of spiritual commitment or endeavour. Help me to cultivate reverence for You Lord.
Ecclesiastes 5:10-11 Lord, help me to consider and understand that wealth is intrinsically elusive and by it’s very nature deceptive.
Ecclesiastes 5:13-15 Lord, help us not to put our trust in our savings account or into strength of our investments but in You and Your loving care for us. We desire to live for You and accumulate true heavenly wealth.
John 6
John 6:27 Pray that God will help you balance the time, energy, and money you spend on life’s necessities with what you expend for your spirit’s nourishment.
John 6:32-35 You are the Bread of Life and You were broken for me, that I might be eternally filled and satisfied. Fill me this day, Lord, with the taste of Your endless abundance.
John 6:3, 44 Father, thank You for drawing me to Yourself, often in spite of myself. Thank You, for it is Your will that I never be lost again. I am in awe, Lord, of Your willingness to pursue me and then to hold me close.
