Prayer for August 9th’ 2022   

Good morning, Father —thank you!

There have been so many suicides lately in this sad and darkened world, but self-destruction isn’t the answer. The devil is prowling around, killing, stealing, and destroying —having his way —laughing at the wretched who are willing to shorten their lives. But in faith, when we cry out to you, you hear and deliver us from our troubles. You will keep our minds from brokenness. We are your temple. Therefore, we should honor you with our bodies. Holy Spirit, remove the blinders and open the hearts to everyone lost and suffering. In Jesus’ name, please help them to see! Amen.

Ecclesiastes 7:17

17 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

Psalm 34:17-20

17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

1 Corinthians 6:20

20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

John 10:10

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
