Prayer for today

Lord Jesus, to whom shall I go? You alone have the words of eternal life that fill my soul with unfailing hope. I come before Your presence with the sacrifices of a broken spirit and contrite heart. Thank You for loving the rejects of this world who under-perform and feel unworthy of Your grace and mercy. Guide me Holy Spirit to people today who have a broken spirit and think they are undeserving of God's love. Use my care to help them experience the pleasure God gets when we turn to Him with brokenness and contriteness. I pray for the healing of their spirit, soul, mind, and body in Jesus’ mighty name.
