A Race Everyone Can Win - A Nighttime Prayer

“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”- Proverbs 16:9

Please pray:

Dear God, I thank you for not counting us out. I thank you for coaching us back into the throws of life. Thank you, that no matter how many people count us out, you never do. God, you constantly see the good in us. You have never lost faith in us. Your Spirit is always there to encourage us, dust us off, and put us back in the race. Lord, I pray for the woman reading this. I pray that she continues to trust you. That she knows no matter how bad the fight is, with You, she can fight a little longer. I pray that she is strengthened in the fight. I pray that she reaches her finish line and can rejoice in everything you will bring her through. God, I thank you for where we are, but also, for the plans you have for us. Thank you for directing our steps, and we will trust your plans are better than our own. In Your Name, Jesus, Amen.
