High Expectations

Ref.: Proverbs 15:15; Ephesians 3:20; John 14:27; Romans 14:17

Father God,


I pray for people who are hurting today. Because everyday is hard for those who suffer. But I trust You, Lord, and I'm living one day at a time. I pray that this would not be an evil day full of anxious thoughts and a feeling of foreboding. I know that my mind doesn't want me to expect anything good, but that's when my faith will be tested. But when I know the Truth I can expect good things everyday. I expect today to be a "suddenly" day. Because with Your power working in me, I can do much, much more than anything I can ask or imagine. Everyday I wake up expecting! And I know that Truth will make up for everything that I have to go through while I am waiting on answers. I look only to You, Father, for what I need, not to people. Please take away my fearful thoughts, because I know that is where fear begins. Help me to not think about everything that comes to my mind. I only want to speak Your word out loud, and I know that will bring me peace. Thank You, Master for leaving me Your peace, so I do not have to let my heart be troubled or afraid. I know, Father, that peace is a wonderful blessing from You. And that a peaceful life begins with a peaceful mind. I pray that I would not allow myself to be upset and disturbed. And that as soon as I start feeling myself getting upset, I pray that by the power of the Spirit inside me, I would calm myself down before my feelings come out of my mouth. I know, Father, that worry is a fear that I won't get what I want. But I also know that I do not live or die for myself. So I put my trust in the Truth and know that It will make everything alright.
AMEN
