Praying the Scriptures
Thursday Evening Prayer
September 26, 2024
Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you and eat with you, and you with me. (Revelation 3:20)
Heavenly Father,
In the quiet of this evening, we hear Your gentle knock at the doors of our hearts, as whispered in Revelation 3:20. You stand patiently, waiting for us to open our lives fully to Your presence. Help us to answer Your call with eager hearts, inviting You in to dine with us and share in the sacred moments of our daily lives.
As we settle into the night, let our homes be filled with Your peace and our tables with the warmth of Your love. Bless the food we eat, the conversations we share, and the rest we seek, knowing You are ever with us.
May this time of communion deepen our relationship with You, as we reflect on the blessings of the day and seek Your guidance for tomorrow. Open our eyes to the ways we can serve You and our hearts to the grace You offer so freely.
Grant us a restful night, secure in the knowledge that we do not face our trials alone, for You are always ready to enter our lives at the slightest invitation.
In Your holy name, we pray,
Amen.
May this prayer bring you peace and comfort as you end your day.
