Prayer: TRUSTING GOD As Author And Finisher Of My Faith
Jehovah Rapha, I approach Your throne of grace and mercy, thanking You, the author and finisher of my faith, for all You have done. Father, sometimes my life does not go according to plan. My faith and trust in You waivers.
There are twists, turns, valleys, mountains and bridges along the way that may sometimes leave me feeling discouraged. Help me to trust in You, Oh God, for You know the plans You have for me. You alone truly knows what I’m going through.

Father, as I journey through life, may I always remember that You hold my world in Your hands. When I face trials, let me lean not on my own understanding, but trust in Your sovereign plan.

I give You praise for my past and for my future. But, most importantly, I praise You in the present situation, whether good or bad. For I put my faith and trust in You always to work every situation out for me, for it is all a part of my destiny, in Jesus mighty name, Amen!
