Word for Today, Wed, 24 Jul 2002: Short Words of Prayer and Encouragement
Posted by: masinick <masinick@...>
I pulled a few verses of scripture and a brief prayer out of Karen
Weber's Christian Thought for the Day. If you're interested in
visiting her Web site, you can do so at

MY own prayer is this:
Lord,
I have a passion that others may come to know You. I pray that
my own actions will not stand in the way of that. Please help
each of my friends as they think about You and decide, privately
and personally, to what extent they will choose to serve You
today. Forgive me for the ways I fall short, Lord, and lead me
continually back into Your Presence, that I may experience the
joy of living in Your Spirit.
I also pray that You would help me to be a genuine encouragement to
others, and that I may also be encouraged by others. May we be one in
the common hope that we find complete in Christ. I ask each of these
things humbly in Christ's Name. Amen.
Your Brother in Christ,
Brian
Verse:
For it is not an enemy who reproaches me;
Then I could bear it.
Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted
himself against me;
Then I could hide from him.
But it was you, a man my equal,
My companion and my acquaintance.
We took sweet counsel together,
And walked to the house of God in the throng.
Psalm 55:12-14
Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to encourage others when they come to me
with their dreams, and send people into my life today that will
encourage me. Amen.
