For Those You’ve Used to Help Me

Caring Father,
It’s so easy for us to forget or overlook the ways you have used others throughout our lives to help us along the way. No one gets to where they are in life without the aid and assistance of others. You provide others to be there to help us learn and show us how to do certain things. You give others listening ears to walk us through problems. Some have been instrumental in connecting us with other people who have been a blessing to us. Many have prayed for us more than we’ll ever know. Thank you for placing considerate and helpful individuals in my life to guide and support me in such meaningful ways. You have used them to lead me to experience how much you truly care about me.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Pray Properly for Our Government

Dear Father,
You call on believers not only to honor and respect their government leaders, but also to pray for them. If only we knew how often you allow our prayers to shape and influence government practices and policies, surely we would offer up our petitions with much greater frequency! When we bring our prayers, let them be driven by the unique needs of elected officials in their respective roles, as well as the needs of the citizens of our country. And, although your kingdom comes through the gospel and not through those carrying political power, we nevertheless pray for leaders to fulfill their obligations in a way that doesn’t hinder the work of your kingdom and your church. While party affiliations, platforms, and policies will understandably come into consideration in our prayers, do not allow them to taint our prayers by letting bitterness, resentment, or animosity toward individuals flow from our hearts. Through our prayers, bless all those who serve in our government as you see fit. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
