Prayer - weakness

Heavenly Father,

Refresher of our souls, we honor you and praise you. We celebrate your presence in our lives - your constant, faithful presence. All glory to you, almighty God, and to your son, Jesus, and your Holy Spirit who you sent to live with us.

Help us not to see the mountains ahead of us but the path you have carved our for our journey. Let us dwell upon your all-sufficient power not our own weakness. When we pray in the name of Jesus, all things are possible! No problem is too large, no sin too great, no issue to small for you. When we turn toward you, your light shines upon us and we see clearly through your eyes, not our own.

Forgive us when we fail to put you first, rely upon our own meager strength, and attempt to create our own solutions rather than depending fully upon you. Forgive our sins against you and our Christian brothers and sisters.

Pour out your blessings upon us so we might live as your chosen people, loved and made perfect in our weakness. Give us the courage to boldly proclaim your majesty and help us to make disciples to grow your kingdom here on earth.

We pray these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
