A prayer of confidence in God

Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

Dear Father, Thank you for the example of our Lord Jesus Christ who showed us what to do in times of trial, persecution and distress. Help us to call upon you, cry out to you, and commit ourselves to you. In those times when it seems like we can’t do anything right. On those days when it seems that no one understands or is our side, cause us to remember, cause Michelle to remember that Jesus found His strength, His will to continue doing what you sent Him to do in crying out. You are our very present help in time of trouble. Thank you again Lord. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

A prayer for mercy

O Father, how we need to humble ourselves at your throne. You are merciful and gracious to allow us entrance to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Remind us all of the holiness and maturity that you expect from us. Remind us how that honors you and shows our gratitude for redemption. Bless us now that we may be pleasing in your sight. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
