Today’s Verse:
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to
prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

Remebered there was a Soviet submarine Kursk went down in the Barents Sea and the sailor knocked, saying "Is there any hope?".

Father, every now and then, we may believe that we are trapped in some impossible situations, which are out of our "control" and that we cannot see "a way out" and there is no way to change or escape....Father, quickly remind us to hold on to faith, hope and love in You. Father, we trust that You have plans for us, plans to prosper us and not to harm us. Father, the hurt only comes from the way we
look at the situation, so Father, open our eyes to SEE things in Your
prospective, not in man's prospective.

Father, if hope is the most active force in the world because it's from You, help us to FEEL Your holy presence whenever we loose faith, whenever we loose heart and whenever we loose sgiht of our future.

Father, what is life? What is the meaning of life? If life are merely experiences, then why can't You show Your mercy upon us and make all our experiences exceptionally GOOD in our lives?

Father, You are in control of everything, You can save us in a swift second, You can turn all our sorrow into joy, all our bitterness into happiness. But Father, troubles are really experiences which help us to GROW in You. So, Father, help us to go through our troubles through hope, through faith, through love and through perseverance.

Father, please continue to mold us, shape us and change us into people we didn't start out to be. Please show us our life's purposes in each and every one of us.

In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
