Prayer:
Thank you, Jesus! Thank you for your death on the cross to save my soul. You opened the door for me to communicate with God the Father in Your name. Through praising prayer and singing, I would like to be closer to the mighty God. Through thanksgiving prayer, I want to widen the communication door with You. Through daily repentance, I want to renew my relationship with You. By forgiving offenders, I would like to enjoy spiritual freedom. I pray for others for their needs as the first step in loving my neighbor as I love myself. As I bring my petition-request in prayer, I want to experience the providing God. I would like to do God-given work with God’s power through prayer. Dear Jesus, help me to have a victorious life in wrestling against my will to do Your will by taking up my cross and follow You daily. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
