Today’s Verse:
"May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you." - Psalm 20:1

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

You will surely hear our prayers, especially in the days of our troubles. In times of distress, sorrow, lost, motionless, troubled, affliction, agony, anxiety, calamity, discomfort, dismay, grief, pain or worried, what is better than to pray earnestly at church?

We all know that Father, You will listen to our prayers, 24x7. Whether we have the strength to listen to Your answers, that's another question. Father, help us to trust You enough not to concentrate on the storm and rain around us; help us not to listen to them, which roar like thunder, but keep our eyes on You and You alone, so that we may listen to Your voice, Your instructions which will lead us to safety.

Father, Jacob had his day of troubles, he wrestled, was heard and was defended. Surely, we shouldn't be doubting Your Almighty love for us at all! For You can save Jacob, You can surely save us too.

Father, let us pray for more of Your love, in times of distress:
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:16-19)

In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
