TODAY’S PRAYER POINTS BY MIKE PRAH

Begin praising the name of the Lord. God instructs us to come before Him with thanksgiving and praise.

Today’s prayer is based on the Prophet David’s prayer from Psalm 27.

“THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION; I will fear no one. THE LORD PROTECTS ME from all danger; I will never be afraid. 2 When evil people attack me and try to kill me, they stumble and fall. 3 Even if a whole army surrounds me, I will not be afraid; even if enemies attack me, I will still trust God. 4 I have asked the Lord for one thing … to live in the Lord’s house all my life, to marvel there at His goodness, and to ask for His guidance. 5 In times of trouble He will shelter me; He will keep me safe in His Temple and make me secure on a high rock. 6 So I will triumph over my enemies around me … 10 the Lord will take care of me. 11 Teach me, Lord, what you want me to do, and lead me along a safe path, because I have many enemies. 13 I know that I will live to see the Lord’s goodness in this present life.” (Psalm 27:1-6,10-13, GN)
