HOW TO PRAY FOR YOUR FUTURE

Loving Lord, You are our hope and our strength in time of trouble. You are our ever present help in this difficult world and Lord, I know that You hold the future in the palm of Your hands and I trust You.

Thank You, that You are always there to provide for my needs and to protect me from the storms of life. I pray that no matter what the future holds, that You will remain there beside me. I know Lord, that no matter how difficult things become in this world that You have promised never to leave me nor forsake me, but I also know that in this world we will have tribulation and trials, and I pray that You will be with me through all that I face in the future.

You are my hope and You are my strength. You have promised that that no matter how difficult life becomes, Your grace is sufficient for all my needs. Help me to rely on You no matter what problems and difficulties arise, for my hope is in You. 

Amen.

What are your future plans? Most of us spend some portion of time thinking about what’s ahead for us? Much money and energy are spent by people and organizations trying to predict future behavior, trends and conditions.

One of the best ways to prepare for the future is through prayer. When we pray the right way, we’re setting in motion the things today that will make us ready for our tomorrows.

To illustrate this, let’s take a lesson from Jesus’ life. There’s a great verse that shows us Jesus’ developmental process — what took Him to His future. Take a look at Luke 2:52 (NIV) “And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” Jesus “grew” into His future through His daily relationship with God.
