Prayer from Job 23:1-17

Father, like Job, I admit there are times when it's hard to know what You're up to or feel Your presence.  I imagine this is where Job is speaking from in Job 23.  There are times where I'm searching for answers in the dark, rather than searching for You.  

Correct me, Spirit that brings forth God's light.  

There are also those times where I'm not sure if it's the darkness of our enemy, the world, others, or myself that has me pinned down and confused.

Forgive me, Spirit that brings forth God's light.

May I grow in child-like faith in these moments.  I pray I would pray when I don't want to pray.  Like Job, may I not be silenced by the darkness around me.  May I turn to You, the Light of the World.    

Heal me, Spirit that brings forth God's light.  

Amen

Job 23:17

Yet I am not silenced by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face.

Prayer from Mark 10:46-52

Father, help me to so desire You and Your healing in my life that I don't care who notices my cries for You or who tries to shut me up.  Thank you for the example in Bartimaeus.  He threw off all retraint when he heard You were near.   He wanted healing.   He beleived You could do it.   He had faith.   Help me today to not be afraid to cry out to You in my weakness.  You are near.  You are ready to respond.   Amen

Prayer from Luke 1:68-79

 Heavenly Father, “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them. 69  He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David 70  (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago), 71  salvation from our enemies      and from the hand of all who hate us— 72  to show mercy to our ancestors      and to remember his holy covenant, 73       the oath he swore to our father Abraham: 74  to rescue us from the hand of our enemies,      and to enable us to serve him without fear     in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
