Prayer: Trusting God as the 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. 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 and You alone truly knows what I’m going through.

Hebrews 10:14  For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

When the waters get rough, Lord and the storm rages on and the rain pours down, this is all a part of Your great plan for my life. Teach me to rest assured, confident that You are in control and that only You know what the future holds. You make all things  happen for a reason, turning them all together for my good.

Luke 17:5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

I will not question my destiny, for everything that happens to me is to shape and mold me into who You want me to be and it will only make me a stronger, better, wiser person. So I give You thanks and 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!

Psalm 138:7–8  Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me. The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; do not forsake the works of Your hands.
