Today’s Verse:
"A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters." - Genesis 2:10

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for being our ever helper and redeemer. You love us unconditionally and never ask us anything in return. Lord, You are gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.

Father, though it is written "Do not anxious about anything" (Phil 4:6), we worry about this or that one time or another. Though it is written "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7), we tend to try to explore our own resolution all the time. Though it is written "we wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield" (Psalm 33:20), we get easily disappointed while waiting for our rescue in God's perfect timing.

Father, Your vision is far greater and wider than we can ever image. Like the river watering from the garden of Eden, You fully understand that we will get worried and upset in matters, so You graciously separated it into four headwaters. Why? So that we don't have to worry about the waters being dried up or blocked or destroyed. Father, Thank you for Your reserves, Your provisions.

Father, You had placed dreams, gifts, talents, and destiny deep within us, of course You would like us to flourish in our expertise. But Father, You are the God of second chances, we may not have grown in the areas which we are made to be, but then, because of Your various "streams of revenue", eventually we prosper.

We may just be realising some of our hidden gifts in our lives. Fatheer, let us embrace them, develop them, pray over them, surrender them to You! We will watch and wait to see how You would passionately make them blossom! Lord, show us the provision You have in us and that we may use these talents to be a blessing to others.

In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
