60 Days of Prayer

A Prayer for November

For each new morning
with its light,
Father, we thank Thee.
For rest and shelter
of the night,
Father, we thank Thee.
For health and food,
for love and friends,
For everything
Thy goodness sends,
Father, in heaven,
we thank Thee.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

NOVEMBER 1

Perfect Timing

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

JOHN 1:5 (NIV)

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ends today in most areas of the United States. As you change the clocks back, take a moment and reflect on the past year. Remember the many blessings God has given you. Visualize sunlight shining on the glorious moments of your past and see it extending its brilliant rays of light ahead into the future.

Gracious God, Thank You for Your Light; it is filled with the hope of glorious beginnings.

NOVEMBER 2

Release Your Worries

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

MATTHEW 10:28 (NIV)

DR. NORMAN VINCENT PEALE said, “If you worry, you are a worrier because your mind is saturated with worry thoughts. To counteract these, mark every passage in your Bible that speaks of faith, hope, and courage.” Instead of focusing your energy on your problems, focus on God and His Word.

God of Heaven, sometimes I need help focusing on You and not my fears. Keep my mind fixed on what is good and true—Your Word.

NOVEMBER 3

Create a Clean Heart

You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

JOHN 15:3 (NIV)

IF YOU HAVE any guilt or heaviness in your heart
