Prayer based on Luke 8

Luke 8

Great God, You sent Your Son preaching and teaching the Kingdom. You provided for His needs every day. He did not worry, but trusted You. As His Word comes to us today, we pray that it would find good soil in our souls, producing a fruitful yield. Keep away any enemy that would seek to destroy the work of Your Word and Spirit in our lives. Help us to have a perfect confidence in You. Grant to us honest and good hearts. Show us Your glory, and move us in the direction of all that is true and lovely. Thank you for the fellowship that we enjoy within Your family as fellow-travelers in the way of righteousness. Together we will keep our eyes upon You, for You can calm the wind and the waves. Your great Son has power in His hands. He knows all the dangers that face us as we work for the progress of Your Kingdom. Grant us close fellowship with Him in our service of You. Teach us amazing and wonderful things. Forgive us when we become filled with everything that this world offers us. We know that there is a much better way. You have done so much for us, O Lord! We appreciate Your many blessings. We thank You for Your healing power and Your sensitivity to us in our pain. We tremble before You with reverence and joy. Thank You for the gift of faith. Give us hope again for eternal life. We cast off the chains of fear and doubt, and walk with You in the way of hope. You make the dead rise. There is nothing too difficult for You.
