Have you colored a picture of a Bible story? Have you written a rhyme about heaven? Did you paint a picture of church that your parents could scan and send in? Here at the New Life Writer's Blog, we can display those creative things you do so that others can see them and praise God through what you do.

Morning Prayer

0 comments

Most High God, You are the Everlasting God, You will not fade and you won’t grow weary. You are my Deliverer. You are my Substance. You are Truth. You are my Creator. You are beautiful. You are worthy of all my praise. Great God be glorified. You are all knowing and yet your mercy rains down from on high. There is none like you. I will rejoice in my salvation today. I will find joy in it.


It’s a new day, a new beginning. God you have once again revealed yourself to me. When I stray you wait, and all the while you gently pursue me. I am full of love for you this morning. I want to spent each and every day delighting in your goodness. I want to know everything about you. I want to truly enjoy you.
Life is meaningless without you. You hold the key to success. So many times you have rescued me from myself. You are my Rock, my Fortress and my Stronghold. When life spins and I try to hold on, I can’t. Then, when I cry out to you, life is put back in perspective. It keeps spinning, but you insure my safety. I know I can trust you. All I need is you. You created me and you know exactly what I need.
Today Father, I pray that I would have opportunity to witness for you, to speak of your goodness, to praise your name. Give me courage. Remind me that your Spirit lives inside of me and that the words are yours, may they honor you.

Paul the apostle explained it this way, “My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom but on God's power.” As the opportunities unfold, may I speak from a position of love, and may the love that the Holy Spirit has given me be obvious to all who hear me. Prepare me, Lord.
In the precious powerful name of Jesus, hear my prayer. Amen
