Morning Prayer on 2 Samuel 24:24

And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

2 Samuel 24:24 · KJV

Today’s prayer

Written prayer

When the abundance of Your goodness is apparent and on display in my life, I will make sure that insecurities won’t lead me into thinking that all that I have will be preserved by my own methods and tactics. As You increase the works of my hands, Lord help me not to see those You’ve called me to lead as commodities, and not sheep You’ve called me to honor, protect, and shepherd. I declare that You are my sustaining force and the lifter of my head. Keep me from experiencing loss and defeat as David did. I will instead look to You and Your power to cover my weak areas when I feel insecure and inadequate. Thank You for reminding me that my life is about serving and helping others as I grow to become more like you.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
