A Prayer for Today
We are formed in weakness yet filled with treasure. By your design Lord, and to your glory, we suffer in these frames of dust and prove that you alone are our salvation; you alone are the victor and bringer of victory.
So be praised today and fill our hearts with the hope that comes from knowing you are with us in our strength and weakness, in our victory and defeat. Through it all, through it all, may we trust your perfect plan Jesus.
Lord, for the weak I pray today – for those who suffer and see no way out, who have no hope or are despairing, lacking understanding and sight to see your hand bringing victory and guiding and keeping. Today, comfort the downtrodden and despairing. Bring the light that brings hope to the soul.
