The Blessing of Encouragement - A Nighttime Prayer
Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.
– 1 Thessalonians 5:11
Please Pray:
Holy Spirit, how I need Your encouragement and guidance every day. You are the Author of joy in my life, and I thank You for those who have boosted my spirits in my faith journey. Make me aware of the emotions, attitudes, and needs of others around me, in all my daily interactions. Pull me out of my selfish attitudes so I may become an active “cheerleader,” to help others persevere. Give me a heart that offers smiles, hugs, prayers, empathy, and kind words. Let me rely on Your direction to show me what I need to say or not say, to know exactly how to give the right kind of encouragement for the moment. Be my Guide, O Lord, and make me a Barnabas, too. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
