Monday Memories: Daily Prayer
Dear Lord
Make me a man
Of fervent prayer
God’s Holy Word
Commands me to pray
Without ceasing
Encourage me
To bring everything
To you my Lord
When discouraged
Let me pray
You are my refuge
When joyful
Let me offer
Prayers of thanksgiving
In all things
Great and small
At all times
Whether happy or sad
Let me seek
Your wisdom and grace
Amen
Today, may God bring you the courage to ask him for guidance. Ask Him to lead you to a “right” place.

Facing life’s trials
To whom shall we turn?
Walking every mile
Faith in God shall yearn
Fading sun grows dark
From whom comes next light?
Igniting faith’s spark

Leading each nation
To whom shall we pray?
Lasting foundation
God’s faith never sways
Fleeing darkest flames
From whom comes safe place?
Living God takes aim
Faith’s grace-filled embrace
From Malachi 4:2-3: “But for you who revere My name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall. And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, on the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts.”
Prayer Quotes
Billy Graham (American evangelist and Christian writer)
To get nations back on their feet, we must first get down on our knees.
Oswald Chambers (Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher)
Prayer is the vital breath of the Christian; not the thing that makes him alive, but the evidence that he is alive.
From Psalm 4:1: “Answer me when I call, O God of my right! You gave me room when I was in distress. Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer.”
United as One
From Proverbs 27:17: “Iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens the wits of another.”
As believers, called to One
Worshipping our highest Priest
In faith, united as one
Jesus leads Salvation’s feast
Iron sharpens iron, grace tapers
Guiding every trusting step
Righteousness, heart’s bold shaper
Christ waits at Heaven’s doorstep
Trinity’s unity molds
Breathing with eternal peace
Mercy reaches out and holds
Redemption signs life’s new lease
Spirit fills patience today
Bearing each other through love
Together, joining to pray
Single voice reigns from above
From Ephesians 4:3-4: “Making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace: there is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling.”
Monday Memories: God is Near

From Psalm 16:11: “You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
God dwells on a Holy hill
Pursuing those hungry, for His will
Away from God, we are forlorn
Seeking refuge, asking to be reborn
Our Lord is a most Holy God
Bringing blessings and love, He nods
He brings delight, for another week
Filling cups with refreshment, we seek
At night, He calms our hearts
Giving wise counsel, new day starts
God remains near, always beside us
Walking patiently, without a big fuss
He stays close, offering His hand
Facing our challenges, across this land
God fills hearts, with joyful gladness
We sing and rejoice, without sadness
Our prayers seek a willing ear
Finding a Holy God, without fear
Our footing will never slip away
Walking a safe path, God’s way
God hears our words and prayers
Sending answers, because He truly cares
Under the shadow of God’s wings
Protecting us, safe refuge He brings
George Whitefield Quote
The true believer can no more live without prayer, than without food day by day.
From Luke 6:12: “Now during those days He [Jesus] went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.”
George Whitefield (1714-1770) was an English-born pastor and Christian evangelist. He spent the second half of his life in the American colonies.
Charles Stanley Quote
The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.
From Luke 22:39-41: “He came out and went, as was His custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. When He reached the place, He said to them, ‘Pray that you may not come into the time of trial.’ Then He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed.”
