Day Seven of Forty

Jean Ohlerking

Hey--that's me! And boy, do I need all the prayer help I can get! Thanks, everyone, for praying for me. And if, after today, the Lord brings me to your mind, pray again.

I am using exerpts from Psalms 143 and 146 (God's Word translation) to apply to myself today. This is my prayer for me.


Heavenly Father,

I stretch out my hands to you in prayer.
Like parched land, my soul thirsts for you.

Let me know the way that I should go,
because I long for you.

Teach me to do your will, because you are my God.
May your good Spirit lead me on level ground.


Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord, my soul!
I want to praise the Lord throughout my life.
I want to make music to praise my God as long as I live.

Blessed are those who receive help from the God of Jacob.
Their hope rests on the Lord their God,
who made heaven, earth, the sea,
and everything in them.
The Lord remains faithful forever.
He brings about justice for those who are oppressed.
He gives food to those who are hungry.
The Lord sets prisoners free.
The Lord gives sight to blind people.
The Lord straightens the backs of those who are bent over.
The Lord loves righteous people.
The Lord protects foreigners.
The Lord gives relief to orphans and widows.

Lord, please make me fit to be used to accomplish your will.

In Jesus' name,
Amen
