When I don’t quite know how to pray about a specific challenge in my life or someone else's life, I just once again borrow one of Paul’s prayers. This one is from Paul's letter to the Christ followers in Philippi.
Philippians 1:9-11 NIV And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:9-11 NIV
What a comfort it is to know that I can put family and friends in the hands of One whose nail-scarred hands are infinitely more capable than mine!
May your day be filled with blessings.

Thank you for sharing these verses and thoughts. Yes, we can leave all our troubles in God's hands.
ReplyDeleteI have to remind myself often that all is in God's hands, whether I realize it or not. But sure is nice when I remember that and take it to heart.
