PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Scripture Reference: Revelation 2:19-29 (ESV)

Omniscient, Omnipresent Father,

Thank you for being ever-present in our lives, our thoughts, and our actions. May they be pleasing to you, our God.

In the hustle and bustle of life, remind us of your love during our quiet time with you. Speak to us, Father, through your Word as we meditate and hide it in our hearts.

Guide our hands, our feet, and our words to continue building up saints. May we admonish evil practices while warning of the consequences of unholy and unrighteous living. The penalty of such is eternal separation from you, Lord, and an eternity in hell itself.

Encourage us through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to keep our eyes on the hope of our reward in heaven.

May we stand firm on the rock of salvation, sharing the Good News far and wide.

Jesus, shine your light on our path. We lift this humble prayer to the throne room of your Father,

Amen
