Prayer for Today

Lord Jesus, You are our rock. You give us Your peace when our minds are fixed upon You. You lower our anxiety and slow our pounding hearts pressured by current events. We look to these words of David in his praise. He uses the phrase that You voiced from the cross. Let us be mindful of what it means to commit our spirits to You. You are the expert such surrender and commitment. You have redeemed us. You are our Way, our Truth, and our Life. We lift our praise in Your name and authority, Jesus, our all-in-all, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.

“For You are my rock and my fortress; ​​Therefore, for Your name’s sake, ​​Lead me and guide me. ​​Pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, ​​For You are my strength. ​​Into Your hand I commit my spirit; ​​You have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.” (Psalms 31: 3-5 NKJV)
