James 4
Lord, You are over everything - You reign! I don't know what will happen tomorrow and I know that You hold my life and the lives of those around me in the palm of Your hands-for this I need not just forgiveness for my arrogance, but also for Your protection...
I do know also that You have great plans for me...help me place my hope and trust there.
My Prayer: Lord You are a great God...full of love, peace, patience, kindness, compassion, etc. (and more) for me! How awesome...this despite my sin. You know it all yet You love anyway. Thank You Jesus! I am not worth such love and blessing. I am weak and I worry. Please forgive me and help me turn from such sin and towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Help me love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith and become more like You. Help me place my faith and trust in Your plans alone. Give me strength. Give Lisa strength, comfort, and freedom from pain. Please heal and cure her of this cancer. Help me lead and serve, Lisa, Zach, and Dustin. Please heal Kay, Robert, Lacey, Warren's wife and others that need Your healing....give them all peace and encouragement that You can and will heal them. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
Why, you do not even know
what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that
appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” v14-15

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
