Today’s Verse:
"A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." - Proverbs 17:22

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

If only we could keep a clear conscience and a quiet mind at all times, then, our world will look so much brighter and more prosperous.

Sometimes, we heard too much news, good news, bad news...but bad news in large proportions. Most of the time, talking became small arguements, then fights, then ... Father, help us to take control of our bodies, so that we wouldn't do or say things which will make oursleves regret. Father, hold our unbridled tongue, for even one word thoughtlessly spoken may destroy our happiness of a lifetime. So Father, help us to remember - a still tongue makes a wise head.

It is written in James 5:13 "Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise."

So Father, may we let the word of Christ richly dwell within us, with all wisdom teaching and let us admonish each other with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, despite of our circumstances. Father, may we sing with thankfulness in our hearts to You, in good times or bad. For only by Your grace that we can stay cheerful.

Father, maybe due to our responsibilities, at work or at leisure, that we have to do things that aren't enjoyable. Father, remind us to respect You and respect Your decision to put us where we are, with people whom we like or dislike, respect or not, love or not, cherish or not, remind us that we are living our lives for You, Lord! You are the real boss and our futures are in Your hands!

In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
