Shared Prayer

O Father, Lord of heaven and earth You are God Almighty, El Shaddai, and I praise You for who You are before I ask You for anything. You are strong when I am weak, and You never change. As Psalm 46:5 says, God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved, and God shall help her, and that right early. I stand on that word. You are in the middle of my life, so I will not be shaken by the pressures ahead of me. You promise help that comes early, and I trust You to meet me with strength as this day begins. I ask You for fresh strength for the hours in front of me. Where I feel weary or uncertain about the future, hold me firm. Teach me to walk in obedience to Your will and to remember that I belong to Christ and Your love for me cannot be broken. Lord hasten your word to perform it in my life. I count it all joy, even in trials, because You are with me and You are helping me. Thank You, Father, for being my present help and my hope. Amen.
