God’s grace is sufficient for us

2 Corinthians 12: 9 – 10 9And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

O Lord, give us the desire to be reflections of your Son the Lord Jesus. On good days and bad, in sickness and health. When men and women sing our praise, when they scorn and ridicule us, cause Michelle, cause all of us who bear the name of Jesus Christ to take joy in honoring Him through our weaknesses. Hard lessons Lord but you have promised to sustain us and when we are weak to give us your strength. Thank you for being our God. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.

A prayer of encouragement

1Samuel 12:16........stand and see this great thing which the Lord will do before your eyes...

Father, each day you show us new mercies, each day you pour out blessings that we cannot ever finish counting. Today Lord, may Michelle be encouraged as she looks back over the hours just past and see the day through your eyes. All the people, the events, the quiet moments, the smiles, the handshakes, the places, the faces, the wonders, the joys, the worries and maybe even the tears. You bring nothing across our path by accident, may she learn to see your purpose and work in her life. How grateful we are O God for your presence, your great love and your mercy. May Michelle and all of us see the great things to are doing before our eyes. We praise you and offer these prayers in the name of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen

I need God when my heart is overwhelmed

Psalm 61: 1 – 2 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. ²From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

...when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Perhaps there are days Lord when Michelle feels overwhelmed. I know about those days and I have come to know that you Lord God are only a heart cry away. Remind Michelle of her need for you and your willingness to hear and answer us when we call. Thank you for being our God. In the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen

Prayer to God for Strength

Psalm 38: 10 My heart pants, my strength fails me: as for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.

The words of the old hymn come to mind Father.



I need thee,


O I need thee,


Every hour I need thee.


O bless me now my Savior,


I come to thee.


Stir up in Michelle the hunger and thirst for you. Thank you for being able to provide and supply all of her needs, according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Amen.

A prayer for peace in our lives

1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Dear Father, our world is full of chaos and confusion. There is so much darkness in the hearts of men. Hold back the night, drive away the enemy as only you can. Preserve us in peace, peace that passes all understanding. May your blessings continually be upon Michelle and her family. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

A Blessing

Numbers 6:24-26 24The LORD bless you, and keep you: 25The LORD make his face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: 26The LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

Thank you Father for these words of blessing. Your words say it best so I ask these blessings today for Michelle Obama and her family. LORD bless them, and keep them Make your face shine upon them, and be gracious to them: LORD lift up your countenance upon them, and give them peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen

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
