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 Galatians 5:25

A Daily Office  Good morning Jesus. Today I choose You.   I choose to live by the Spirit. Today I choose to keep in step with the Spirit (Galatians 5:25). I do not claim to be without sin.  I confess my sins to You.   Make me aware of any offensive way in me. I believe you are faithful and just. I believe you forgive me and purify me from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:8-9). I humble myself before You. Lift me up. I cast all my anxiety on You. Care for me (1 Peter 5:6-7). May I know and trust that You are with me today (Matthew 28:20). Amen

Prayer from Ruth 3:5

Father, give me a servant's heart that proclaims with Ruth, I will do whatever you say.    Taking time to answer someone's questions.  I will do whatever You say. Washing dishes.  I will do whatever You say. Listening to my kids.  I will do whatever You say. Pausing my work to sit in Your prescence.  I will do whatever You say. Picking up the phone to talk to a stranger.  I will do whatever You say. Giving someone a ride.  I will do whatever You say. Helping a friend.  I will do whatever You say. Loving an enemy.  I will do whatever You say. Amen Ruth 3:5 "I will do whatever you say," Ruth answered.
