Prayer 170
Tuesday Evening Prayer
Lord, I have once again reached the end of a day knowing I didn't get it right. I want to live the way You asked me to live. I want to be unselfish and humble, to give thanks to You in all things. In the middle of a busy day, I forget. I get angry or frustrated or rude. My pride gets in the way of my selflessness. Once again, I come to You unable to show You a day in which I've truly followed the example of Your Son.
And once again, You reassure me that my imperfection is forgiven because Jesus lived perfectly and died in perfect obedience to You. Thank You, Lord. Help me try my best again tomorrow in Jesus' name amen.

Prayer 171
Wednesday Morning Prayer
Lord God, You have brought me safely through the night.
Thank You for Your mercy to me, especially for Your grace in granting me forgiveness and life through Christ. As I begin a new day in the middle of this week, strengthen me to faithfully and joyfully do the work You have set before me.
Please remove any weariness or bitterness that comes from complacency. Help me love and serve my neighbor, whom You have put before me this day. Give me steadfastness to not waste time but instead to count every hour as another opportunity to be Your hands and feet in this world. Strengthen my faith through Your Word today and grant me and all in Your church the peace of Christ in Jesus' name amen.

Prayer 172
Wednesday Evening Prayer
Heavenly Father, You have brought me safely again to the end of another day. I come before You, acknowledging my failures to live and love as You would have me do. I have not loved You with my whole heart, and I have committed sins of thoughts, words, and actions against others. I confess and lay down those sins at Your feet tonight, trusting in Your promise that for Jesus' sake and because of His sacrifice on the cross, You forgive my sins. As Your redeemed child, I praise You for Your mercy to me. Help me tonight to sleep in peace, rejoicing at the gift of life and salvation that You have given me through Christ in Jesus' name amen.

Prayer 173
Thursday Morning Prayer
I praise You, God, for this day. I begin by asking that You would strengthen my resolve. I know 1 am born sinful and live in a broken and sinful world. Help me, however, to avoid sinful temptations today. Keep me, I pray, from careless thoughts and words, selfish actions, gossip, envy, and other sins. Make my life instead a witness to the hope that I have in Christ. As He sacrificed His life out of love for me, help me follow His example and sacrifice of my own well-being to love and serve others in my life. In all things, preserve me in the faith by Your Word, that I may rejoice in my identity in Christ in Jesus' name amen.

Prayer 174
Thursday Evening Prayer
Holy Lord, this evening I thank You for all You have done for me. As I look forward to the weekend, when I will once again gather with fellow Christians in worship, I ask for Your strength. The devil, the world, and my own sinful flesh have led me astray today. I have not put You first in my life, glorified You with my lips, abided in Your Word, or honored those in authority over me as I should. As I confess my sins tonight, I also rejoice in Christ. He has freed me from my sins and given me new life. Strengthen me for the day tomorrow with good rest and help me sleep in peace in Jesus' name amen.

Prayer 175
Friday Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, give me strength and energy to do the work that is before me today. Guide me through the many decisions that I have to make. While I have my own plans for today, put Your plans over mine. Make clear the direction I should go so that I fulfill Your desires. Make me also a benefit to others. Especially give me a listening ear and a caring heart to those around me who are hurting. As You have been merciful and caring to me, help me reflect that same care to others who are hungry for Your grace. Let my words echo Your words of forgiveness and hope so that people turn to You in their need in Jesus' name I pray amen.

Prayer 176
Friday Evening Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank You for Your guidance and protection throughout today and this week. You have foreseen dangers that were invisible to me and have protected me in ways I can only imagine. You have heard my prayers for forgiveness and have assured me that my sins are cleansed by Your blood. In the busy days of this week, You have watched over me. Now, as evening comes, give me rest and peace.

Heavenly Father, You renew me every day with Your care.
Thank You for last night's sleep and rest. Give me the energy to fill this day with all that You have prepared for me to do. Make Your plans clear to me so that today shows Your care for me and those around me. Remind me of Your promises and especially Your saving work in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Help me see beyond this world to eternal life with You in heaven. Your promises are wonderful because they rest on Your mercy and no accomplishment of mine. By grace, You have called me Your own and adopted me as Your child. I give You thanks in Jesus' name amen.

Lord God, how faithful You are. You have protected me this week, watching while I slept and guarding me from dangers I could not see.

You hold me firmly in Your hand with the promise that no one will be able to snatch me away. Let me end the week now with peace and rest.
Remind me of the promises of Your Word and give me the faith to trust them completely. Let me repeat those promises to others so that they also might have this trust. I pray in Jesus' name amen.

Heavenly Father, Your love for Your children stretches higher than heaven. Your forgiveness takes my sin away forever. Remind me in these busy hours to hear Your promises. Let me read and memorize Your Word so that i will always have these promises on my mind. Give me faith by the work of the Holy Spirit to trust these promises.
While the work of a busy day surrounds me, let me find peace by resting in Your promises. It is not my work but Your grace that binds me to You. Assure me that Your Son completed all that was necessary, paying all the debt that I had and fulfilling all righteousness for my sake I pray this in Jesus' name amen.
