Do you pray for world peace? Sometimes we are so caught up in our own personal needs that we forget to put the power of prayer behind something as large as peace on Earth. Today, focus all your thoughts on the people of the world; ask God to give leaders the insight to obtain justice for all. Teach us all humility and responsibility to care for those in need so that the world may be a safe home for everyone.

God’s promises happen in God’s timing.

Do you need to feel God’s healing power? Make time for yourself and for God. Pray and ask Him to help you relax so that you receive His healing power. Share your fears and tears. Ask that He shine His blessings on You.

Is there something in your past that weighs on your heart? Maybe something you said or didn’t say, a mistake or misunderstanding that still nags at your conscience?

As you know, God is always with you, not just at a planned prayer time, but anytime and every time you need Him. You can pray out of the depths of your soul, thank Him for the simple pleasures, or simply say, “I know You’re here. I know You’re with me.”
