Below is another devotional prayer written for the purpose of directing hearts to worship the name of the Lord.

Pray with me:
My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness. II Corinthians 12:9
O God, You are Sufficient. Like manna in the morning, Your word gives me exactly what I need. It's there for the taking. Likewise,Your word fills my cup each day, and every day. It's there for the drinking. Yes, thank You for pouring Your love into my heart through the Holy Spirit who has been given to me. I don't deserve this ample love! God, please forgive me when I don't eat from Your manna of mercy or drink from Your cup of confidence. Instead, I choose to feast on the past and become bitter, or I drink in the future and become anxious. These unhealthy habits only rob me of theYourgrace that is sufficientfor me today. Dear Lord, help me to obey You andnot ponder on things of the past, norworry about tomorrow. Fill me up with You today--Your peace, Your strength, Your wisdom. You are more than capable to manage my present. Walk with me in my current weakness, so that I may be completely reliant on Your eternal power. For my heart knows, my sufficiency is from You.

Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water..." John 4:13-15
Dear Lord,
Forgive us when we try to quench our thirst from places other than you. Our soul was created to crave your truth and it cannot be satisfied with anything else. May we choose to stay at your well and take one reviving sip, and then another, and then another...In Jesus' Name, Amen.
