Pray For an Open Door

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"And at the same time pray for us also, that God may open a door to us…"
(Colossians 4:3, AMP)

TODAY'S WORD

In this life, we are blessed with so many opportunities and privileges. In this day and age, we have tools and resources to figure almost anything out. It's easy to just depend on our own natural ability to make things happen. But God wants to be intimately involved in our lives. He wants us to come to Him, depend on Him, and allow Him to show Himself strong on our behalf. He wants to open those doors for you, and He wants you to know that He is the one working behind the scenes on your behalf.

Today, if you are looking for an open door, turn to God. Pray and ask Him to direct your every step. Keep asking, keep knocking, keep believing because God will open those doors before you. He will lead you and guide you into the abundant life He has in store for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

"Father God, thank You for ordering and directing my steps. Today I come to You asking for an open door. I know that You will make a way even when there seems to be no way. I choose to trust You with every detail of my life! In Jesus' Name. Amen."

Psalm 16:5-8

The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot,

the lines are fallen unto me in pleasant pleces; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

I will bless the LORD' who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

I have set the LORD always before me :because he is my right hand' I shall not be moved.
