Thursday Prayer – December 18
Father God,First and foremost, we give You thanks. Thank You for keeping us when we did not know how we would make it. Thank You for protecting us, providing for us, and guiding us with wisdom that is higher than our own. We acknowledge today that You know what is best for us, and we trust Your plans completely. God, we come before You with full hearts, overflowing with gratitude and gratefulness. As we draw closer to Christmas, we pause to remember the true reason for this season. Jesus, You are our hope, our peace, and our greatest gift. Because You gave so freely, we ask that You help us to live with open hands and open hearts. Lord, bless us so that we may be a blessing to others during this season. Guard us and lead us to the people You are calling us to pour into. Order our steps, our words, and our actions so that we reflect Your love, Your grace, and Your compassion everywhere we go. God, we know times are hard for many right now. That is why we take this moment to bless You for the ways You have kept us. When it could have been worse, You covered us. When we lacked, You provided. When we were weary, You sustained us. We do not take Your faithfulness lightly. Lord, we ask that You continue to rest Your favor and anointing over every area of our lives. Cover our minds, our bodies, our families, our finances, our work, and our homes. We speak life, peace, stability, and divine alignment over all that concerns us. Father, as this year comes to a close, search our hearts. If there is anything we need to make right before the year ends, bring it to the forefront with clarity and grace. Remove pride, fear, and avoidance. Give us the courage to deal with it, fix it, release it, and heal from it before we step into the new year. We declare that we will not carry old weights into a new season. We receive correction, direction, and restoration now. We speak life over the remainder of this year and declare that what You started, You will finish strong. We trust You. We honor You. And we thank You in advance for what You are still going to do.
