Prayer:Self-Preservation

Before Jesus engage in daily activities, he asked God for guidance. If we are to mimic Christ, we must follow his prayer roadmap.
During our prayer time, here are some ways we can pray for self-preservation
• Ask for Wisdom
o “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him” (James 1:5 KJV).
• Trust in God’s providence
o “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3: 5-6 KJV).
• For our enemies
o “But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” (Matthew 5:44 KJV).
• Health
o “Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well” (3 John 1:2 NIV).
