May Fifth ~ God's
Daily Minute
“I exhort therefore, that, first of all
supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving thanks be made for all men.”
– 1 Tim. 2:1 ~
OUR dear Heavenly Father, we bring unto Thee our humble
offering of gratitude, for all Thy loving kindnesses and tender mercies; so
graciously bestowed upon us, all the days of our life. When yesterday passed
into the night, we committed body and soul into Thy keeping; and Thou didst
again prove, that “He Who keepeth Isreal will not slumber.” Now a new day is
ours, -- help us to appreciate its significance. It brings to us new
opportunities, -- help us to see, and to use them. It brings to us new duties,
-- help us to perform them gladly.
May the love of Jesus, which has touched our lives, touch
others through us to-day. Keep our minds pure, our thoughts and deeds free from
offense. May someone who knows not Jesus, be attracted unto Him by us to-day. Strengthen
those that are weak. Comfort those that mourn. Lead every troubled and seeking
soul to light and peace in Jesus. May this day see some prodigal returning to
his Father’s house. And O, our Father, we pray: give wisdom, faithfulness, and
courage, to all who occupy positions of trust and leadership, in church and
state. May they themselves be led by Him who said: “Follow Me
.”
.”
Forgive us all our sins, and cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. And may “the Peace of God which passeth all understanding,
ever keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Amen
