My Daily Prayer…

My God and Abba Father, Jesus my Lord and Savior, Holy Spirit my advocate and counselor, hear my prayers. You know me better than I know myself. You know my sinful ways and thoughts, fears and weaknesses. Hear my cries and prayers. Guide me through this day and hold me and mine close to You as I pursue one walk with Jesus.

I thank You for each and every blessing! For Your love, mercy, grace and forgiveness. Give me a wise and understanding heart, likened to Yours, with eyes of faith, and the strength and courage to persevere, with love, mercy and grace. Able to forgive all, interact and react with gentle kindness and prayer, dying to myself for the other. Surround me and mine with Your presence, cover us in Your love, peace, grace and mercy. Help us to discover all that Your will directs us to love more and all that Your will calls us to detach from. May we choose only You and that which is contained in Your holy and perfect will.

My demanding Lord, You have entrusted me with much, and You demand that I use all that You have given me to help build Your Kingdom of grace. What a privilege it is to be called by You and used by You for this apostolic mission. Please free me from all fear, dear Lord, so that I will never hesitate to serve You in the ways that You call me to serve. Jesus, I trust in You.

As I pray this same prayer for each of mine, I ask that You, Jesus to continue to bless and protect each one of them, increasing their abilities to serve You and Your Kingdom. Protect them from evil, and from causing any pain. Teach them in Your ways and show them Your truths. Holy Spirit fill them with the fruit of Your presence peace, patience, confidence and hope. Help them to trust in Your promises, and let them feel Your presence. Give them an ear for Your voice, thirst for Your Word, and insight into the wisdom of Your Words. Answer their questions and enlighten their journey to our Abba Father. Open their hearts and minds to seek and know Your truths, and Your love, grace, mercy, passion and Church. Bring us closer as a family as we grow closer to You. Reveal Your plans for us, hear my prayers for us to stay close and supportive of each other. Grateful for the time we get to spend together, hopeful for more! Growing in understanding and love through prayer and forgiveness of each other, as You forgive us. Jesus I trust in You!

I remember and pray for all of mine that have passed on to be with You. Pour forth Your mercy upon them so that they may be counted among the saints in Heaven. Welcome them into Your Kingdom. Mom, Dub, Dad, Abuelita and Abuelito, Titi Evelyn and Fernando, Nana and Coco, Titi Lisa and Manuel, Louie, Uncle Mike and Carmen, Rosa, Titi Mary and Harold, Titi Gladys, Titi Nellie, Abuelo Angel, Abuela, Puchi, Celida, Pettie, Diana, Terri, Bryce, Robert, Mark, Matthew, David and Dave, Peggy, Joe, Mike and Jose as well as all those not listed but often remembered. Bless and heal those still grieving from their loss.

I pray for those who are ill and or facing health issues and addiction; physical, mental and spiritual. I pray for their healing, recovery, wellness and awakening. Give them the strength they need to take control of their health. Help them make the necessary changes needed for a healthy lifestyle anchored in You. I pray for those facing trails, tribulations and change. Show them Your face so they may feel Your presence, and know the peace and hope that comes from it. Jesus I trust in You!

I pray for the persecuted and homeless, and the children. They face challenges beyond their control or ability to change, many have been and are being abused, neglected and trafficked and lacking proper care and having special needs. Mother Mary pray for them, Lord Jesus help them. Jesus I trust in You!

Lord, I pray for a true awakening and revival. One that unites us, Church and Country in Your name and readies us for Your return. Always vigilant! Help us stop the tribalism and wokeness that divides us. Awaken us to Your truth’s, reminding us that the fruit of sin and hate is death for the sinner and hater. Maranatha, our Lord, come!

I pray for Your Church and our leaders – Pope Leo, President Trump, Bishops – Barron, Strickland, Viganò, Priests – Father Octavio, Father Mike, Pastor McCormick, and all Deacons, Ministers and leaders in all Your Churches, in government, in civic positions, at the workplace on the internet and especially in the home. Awaken their hearts and souls to follow Your truths and the righteousness of being a good Shepherd, the importance of good stewardship and service to others. Help them avoid the evil of corruption, power greed and lust, shielding them from temptation. Jesus, Mary, I love You, save souls.

Not my will, but Yours Lord God.

In Jesus name I pray.
Amen.
