Night Prayer 

For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

Inspiration 

The centurion was so confident that Jesus could heal his servant with just a word, even from afar. Why? Because the centurion understood authority and recognized Jesus as the one in charge. We, too, can trust Jesus to answer our prayers, because as creator and sustainer of the universe, we know that he has the authority to command the wind and the seas, the sun and the stars, and even the germs and the pathogens.

Prayer 

Lord Jesus, the universe, the world, and even my life are in Your hands. All authority and power are Yours. And Lord, I call on Your love and Your power to bring where it is needed for my loved ones. For I know that You are never far and that Your word has the power to restore and renew all things. In Jesus’ name, amen.
