Daily Prayer for August 20th, 2019
Good morning, God—thank You for this rainy day! 🙂
Holy Spirit, with You, I discipline my body and keep it under control, but I cannot bridle the lives of others. “The heart of man plans his way, but You establish his steps.” You said, ‘Even the captives of the most mighty and most terrible shall all be freed; for I will fight those who fight you, and I will save your children.” Therefore, I give it all to You, God, as all I can do is pray. Let my faith be their victory! In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Proverbs 19:21 English Standard Version (ESV)
21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
1 Corinthians 9:27 English Standard Version (ESV)
27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
Proverbs 16:9 English Standard Version (ESV)
9 The heart of man plans his way,
but the Lord establishes his steps.
Isaiah 49:24-25 New International Version (NIV)
24 Can plunder be taken from warriors,
or captives be rescued from the fierce?
25 But this is what the Lord says:
“Yes, captives will be taken from warriors,
and plunder retrieved from the fierce;
I will contend with those who contend with you,
and your children I will save.
