Today’s Verse:
"Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."" - Matthew 19:26

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. ... For when I am weak, then I am strong." (Mark 4). Father, once again You have described Your Almighty powers to us by emphasising our weaknesses. Father, if You wish, You can reduce a camel to such a size that it may be able to pass through the eye of a needle. Father, by Your grace You can also work upon a rich man's heart, You can take off his affections from his worldly substance. How much more can You work on us?

Father, You are able to do anything which exceeds all created powers and there is nothing too hard for You. As it is written in Genesis 18:14, "Is anything too hard for the LORD?", and Sarah was given a son, Issac; in Numbers 11:23, "Is the LORD's arm too short? You will now see whether or not what I say will come true for you.", and God sent manna to feed six hundred thousand men.

Father, Your grace is sufficient for us, for Your power is made perfect in our weakness.
(2 Corinthians 12:9), we long to maintain good relationships with You, so
"I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble.

O my Strength, I sing praise to you;
you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God."
(Psalm 59:16-17)

In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
