For many of us, the summer is a slower pace and a time to
reflect on our relationship with God. We take vacations to places with scenic
views and fun activities. So, I created ten fun summer prayers.
As I lay on the beach, I praise You for Your countless
thoughts. "How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! "Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand--when I awake, I am still with you." Psalm 139:17-18
At the top of a ride at the county fair, I reach to meet
with You. "I call to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain.” Psalm 3:4
Like
the electric lights in fireflies, cause me to ponder the mysteries of Your
creation. "Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?”
Job 11:7
Like
the birds who sing to me, Lord, speak to me. "So Eli told Samuel, ‘Go and
lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’ So Samuel went and lay down in his place.”
1 Samuel 3:9
As I
fill my net with the fish I catch, fill me with Your Spirit. “Be filled with the Spirit." Ephesians 5:18
As I
splash in the pool, I ask You refresh me. "A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed." Proverbs 11:25
When
the kids at the lemonade stand fill my cup, please fill my spiritual cup with
joy. "You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with
joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” Psalm
16:11
When
I hear Your voice in the thunderstorm, help me not to fear. "He says, 'Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in
the earth.’” Psalm 46:10
Like
the crack of a bat in a ball game, I pray I will be alert to the enemy’s
tactics. "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around
like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8
In
your bounty, in fields and gardens, I praise You for Your goodness. " I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13
