Heavenly Father, we read in Your Word that we as believers are the whole body of Christ. All of us with the same purpose, but You direct each of us to use the gift that blessed us with to fulfill Your will and purpose. Lord, I pray for a spirit of cooperation and eagerness to contribute to the needs of the whole body, so that Your Church is built not just with sweat, bricks, and mortar but with love, integrity, care, and cooperative teamwork. Therefore we go forth in unity and purpose as we do our part in building each other up as we encourage others to use their God-given talents and acquired skills, all the while striving for unity in the faith. In our service we desire to please You even as we serve and strengthen one another. In the name of Jesus we pray and we go forth in faithful service. Glory to You! Amen.

Heavenly Father, in this world I see from those proclaiming to be Christians, that they are either fans or followers. Lord, I choose to be a follower. Help me Lord to always follow Your ways. Guide my tongue and my actions that they show Christ living in me. Guide me to always work diligently and honestly which is pleasing in Your sight. We are to seek You wholeheartedly as we carry out our responsibilities, whether it is at work or at home. In our temporal earthy dwelling we want to apply eternal kingdom principles in all we do and say rather than possessing a complaining, discontent demeanor. As we are faithful in pursuing righteousness and spreading peace and joy You prosper us in our family relations, our places of employment, our relationships, and in our financial endeavors. We thank You for Your blessings in the name of Jesus. Amen. Heavenly Father, You are faithful and true. You ask us to "Trust the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths smooth." Lord, I trust in You. You show us throughout Your Word that when we come to You in faith You are ready and able. When the woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of Your garment she was made whole. When Daniel came in contact with the heavenly being he was greatly strengthened. As we experience Your touch we too are strengthened as we receive godly knowledge and spiritual understanding. Help us in tarrying as we await Your answers to our prayers. Thank You Jesus and in Your name I pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, we see from Your Word, "And the Word (Jesus) was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." Lord, In Your humanness You were victorious in the raging battle against the spiritual forces of evil when faced with temptations and trials common to all people. We stand in glorious victory as we follow Your example and hold to Your unchanging truths.Lord, these truths You have written on my heart and I love to tell Your story. I praise you and in the powerful name of Jesus I thank and pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, You are good and I praise You for all that you have done and continue to do in my life. Lord, there times when it seems like we are on top of the world and we now that Your plan in our lives is right there where it should be and then attacks come. Temptations come. Sickness may come. Disaster may come. Lord, we know these things are not of You and You will help us get over those hurdles. Lord, help each of us to understand the wiles of the devil and to be steadfast in our determination to resist temptation at each step. We want to be self-controlled and alert, standing firm in the faith as we resist the devil who prowls around like a roaring lion seeking for someone to devour. Thank you for the power of the Holy Spirit to resist and to overcome. Thank You Lord for being that loving Father. Thank You for sending Jesus to die for us, to deliver us of our sin and to heal us in so many ways. Thank You Father and I pray this in Jesus name. Amen. Heavenly Father, thank You for never leaving me, even in my toughest storms. You are always just a prayer away and knowing that all I have to do is call upon Your mighty name. Lord, without the Holy Spirit guiding me, it would be easy at times to fall into the temptations that the enemy dangles in front of a believers lives. Because I love Your commands more than worldly pleasures or temporal possessions I despise the paths that lead me astray like a lost sheep. You have gone before me and cleared the way so that I might follow in Your steps and the steps of other righteous, godly saints. I am comforted in knowing that I don’t walk alone, but I walk hand in hand with You as my Guide. Through eyes of faith I see a great cloud of witnesses, those spoken of in the Bible and those I’ve known in my lifetime, who’ve already finished the race cheering me on as I persevere in this path of righteousness. May I endure hardship as a form of discipline and may I wholeheartedly seek You above everything else, for You are a Rewarder of those who diligently seek You. Help me Lord to teach these truths to those that You put in my circle of friends. I pray this in the precious name of Jesus. Amen. Heavenly Father, I am so thankful for this ministry you blessed me with. Lord, we thank You for this medium of internet communication that makes it possible for us to join our brothers and sisters all around the world in honoring You as we grow together in Your grace and knowledge. Lord, I thank You that in a moments time, we can receive a prayer request and within minutes people from all over the world can be praying for that matter in faith. Lord, I thank You for the platforms on the internet where Bible principles can be taught. Lord, we are all grateful recipients of Your mercy and grace. On a future date we will join together with the angels around the throne and our redeemed brothers and sisters and proclaim in word and song, “Praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever.” Jesus, thank You for loving me and sacrificing Your life for me. You, knowing no sin dying for me full of sin. I praise You Jesus and in Your name I thank and pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, the cross of the Lord Jesus was designed not only to separate us from the penalty of our sins, but to separate us from the power of them. Shall we who have been saved by grace deny You by plunging again into that from which Jesus cross has forever delivered us? Lord, You gave first and foremost as you selflessly gave of Yourself through the person of Jesus Christ. Your gift of grace defies human description, for the far-reaching effects in our lives is truly indescribable. It’s too wonderful for words, but it brings unspeakable joy and glorious hope that makes our spiritual journey so worthwhile. We receive Your indescribable gift that brings forgiveness for our sins and reserves for us a home in heaven for all eternity. Thank You, Father! Lord we ask this prayer in the name of Jesus. Amen. Heavenly Father, there are things in our lives that You ask us to do that may seem difficult and not natural for us to do because of what we are used to in the world. For example, I thank You for giving us the capacity to forgive those who sin against us. Jesus serves as the supreme example of One who forgave those who betrayed, abandoned, lied, scourged, and drove the nails in His hands raising Him on the cross to be humiliated and mocked by onlookers. We will bear no offense on this side of heaven that Jesus will not uphold us in our pain and comfort us in our sadness. We can forgive others because You have forgiven us. Help us to bear with those who repeatedly hurt us. Show us how to love those who are most unlovely and unloving toward us. Lord, thank You for these things and help us to understand and to live them out. We pray this through Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen. Heavenly Father, I praise You this morning. Your love for us is a love that we can't even begin to imagine. When one studies Your Word we can see through scriptures that You are the perfect Father. Lord, in a world filled with broken promises resulting in broken lives, how comforted we are to know that You keep every promise You make. You heal the broken-hearted and bind up their wounds. You call us to Yourself, poor and needy, bruised and broken by the fall, and You stand ready to save us. We must doubt no more but fully trust You on the merit of the blood given for us through the death of Your Son, Jesus. We confess our brokenness and celebrate Your wholeness as we serve You and transfer our citizenship to Your kingdom that is eternal Glory to God! We ask this in the name of Jesus Who came to earth to Redeem us. I praise You my Lord and my King. Amen |
