Daily Prayer for August 1st, 2021
Good Sunday morning, God—thank you!
When I’m feeling nudged by you, Holy Spirit, please help me always to step out of my comfort zone. You are with me; let me not be afraid. You are taking me where you want me to go. You declared, Lord! —somewhere where there is a future and hope. Let me follow. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. 13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.
