Charles Spurgeon

{prayers}
Walk the Way
Dear God, I love You with every heartbeat, every breath, and every deed. I love You when I’m at a loss and when I am fulfilled with every need. Whether I am tired or rested, when I am at work or play, it is You who reminds me to always walk in Your way. Praise to You, my God, my Guidance, the source of my light.
See the Beauty
Dear God, Let me see the beauty in this life of mine. Bring me moments that take my breath away. Sharpen my senses and develop my sensitivity so that I might give fully in all circumstances. Praise to You, loving God, who brings the best to my attention.
Brightest Light
In this God-forsaken place, I look for signs that You are near, that You are here, and that Your path is clear. Speak to me, Almighty God. Shine Your brightest light upon my path. Praise to You, who rescues lost souls.
Beloved People
Your beloved people offer prayers of gratitude for Your great works. You humble the haughty, You raise up the lowly, You change hearts and minds of the misguided leaders, and You free the oppressed. Blessed are You, O Lord, our salvation.
Peace and Prosperity
May the One who separates the holy from the everyday, forgive my sins and slights. May it be Your will that I live today and all my tomorrow in peace and prosperity. Amen
