Heavenly Father, may the Word of Christ dwell richly within me, since it is the very essence of Your Spirit. Lord, I preach on the importance of being in the Word of God most every time I teach, yet the majority of people will never read through and study the Bible or know of the wonderful truths contained within. Hopefully they get a glimpse of the essence of Your Word through my joyful attitude, the kind words I speak and generous deeds I carry out in the name of Christ, by the love I show to others and by the biblical principles in which I live. As the Word of God dwells richly in my heart hour by hour others will see I triumph only through Your power. Thank You Jesus for living in me and making the changes that are now pleasing to God. It is in Your name Jesus, the name above every name that I ask this prayer. Amen.

Heavenly Father, since we have set our heart on things above, not on earthly things, we die to self and live unto Christ. As our lives are hidden with Christ in God we pray that the mind of Christ will live in us from day to day. By His love and power may He control all we do and say, so that we may decrease as He increases in our thoughts, actions, and words. We want this mind to be in us which was also in Christ Jesus and in Whos name we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, You know that many of my days are spent at a frantic pace. Often it’s due to my improper use of time, other times it’s responding to unexpected needs that arise. As I invite You to examine my heart and mind, I lay before You the people, projects, and pursuits that drain me of needed peace and rest and further away from a heart and mind that is fully submitted to You. Though You have not removed me bodily from this world, You have raised me up spiritually to find peace and rest even as I carry out my daily duties. As a vehicle needs fuel to properly function, I need Scripture and prayer to uphold and equip me for the day that lies ahead so I place this discipline at the top of my list and submit all other duties in accordance to Your leading. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, You say: "My thoughts are not your thoughts, and my ways are not your ways," declares the LORD. You have chosen the foolish things of this world to shame the wise, and the weak things of this world to shame the strong. That which is despised, even discarded by the world may be among some of Your most precious treasures. It reminds us that we must realign our values according to Your value system, regarding those things which are precious in Your sight to be precious in ours as well. As we walk in humility we will value others in the same way You do and respond in accordingly. Thank You for these precious individuals You place in our life’s experience and in our families that show us the way to the heart of the Father. I give You all the honor and glory. In Jesus name I ask and thank. Amen. Heavenly Father, the tragic stories that we read about, or hear from news sources of shootings and bombings or any other time where there is the taking of innocent lives we would despair were it not for Your redemptive power to turn the worst of circumstances into a opportunity for people to see and experience Your love, grace and forgiveness. The supreme example of this is seen in the crucifixion of Your innocent Son where it seemed that evil prevailed, Satan won and all hope was lost. Yet the resurrection took place just as You planned giving not only Jesus power over death, but it also provided salvation and eternal life for all who choose to believe on You. There is nothing the enemy can do to us that over-powers the good You bring about in Your redemptive plan. We see this in Joseph who chose to forgive the evil plotted against him declaring to his brothers, “What you intended for evil, God intended for good.” Enable us to hold steady in trust that You will fulfill Your purpose in us; Your love, O Lord, endures forever, for You do not abandon the works of Your hands. I praise You Jesus for what you have done and continue to do every day in my life. In Your precious and holy name I pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, we are living in a dark and evil world where we see things happening everyday like never before. As I turned on my computer this morning, again my monitor was filled with crimes and serious weather events happening all over the world and I was reminded that the writer of Hebrews encourages us not to abandon our faith when difficulties arise. It is during these times of testing that we prove our faith to be genuine if we persevere. We choose not to shrink back and be destroyed, but we choose to be numbered with those who believe and are saved. We thank You for the present rewards that come with diligently serving You and by faith we look forward to the eternal rewards You promise to the faithful. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, help me to walk faithfully with You day by day. As I earnestly seek You I will receive the reward You promise to those who do so. Daily temptations, recurring doubts, and fleeting distractions seek my heart’s affection but I remain wholly committed to You, my Lord and Savior. Though I’ve not seen You physically Your Spirit indwells me and I am filled with Your glorious and inexpressible joy. No matter the mocking and undermining of my faith by the unbelieving world, I believe in You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. Thank You Jesus for living in me and it is in Your name I pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, our assurance and hope is in Your protection day and night. You made the mountains and the hills, the valleys and the streams. You do not leave us to fend for ourselves, but Your help is constant and ever-sufficient for all our needs. Our help comes from You, the Maker of heaven and earth, who watches over us both now and forevermore. Thank You Jesus and in Your name we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, in certain situations I am fearful when I am called upon to take a stand for righteousness. When You compel me like you did Esther to do or say something that’s not within my comfort zone I become fearful of the outcome which prevents me from stepping out in faith and following through with an obedient heart. Would You remind me that there is great blessing when I follow Your leading. In my heart take me back to Biblical models of those who stood without compromise and remained faithful no matter the consequence. Help me not to fear the outcome, for that is in Your hands. Thank You for entrusting me to be a part of your grand purpose. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus and we thank You Lord for loving us and hearing our prayers. You have crowned our year with Your goodness that flourishes within our hearts, in our relationships, in our provisions, and it is evident throughout the universe. In a world that is filled with evil intent and short-sided vision we cling to Your goodness and seek the eternal perspective in all that we experience in this new year of 2019. Spiritual blessings come from You in the midst of Satan’s attacks and because of this essential truth we know that if You are for us, who can be against us! There is no formidable foe that cannot be conquered as we rely on the power of Your Holy Spirit to enable us to remain faithful and ever growing in our devotion to You. You have ordained the trials, the victories, the losses, the gains and all the paths laid out for us even before we were conceived in our mother’s womb. Remind us that as we share in Your sufferings we also share in Your glory. In all areas of trouble, hardship, persecution, famine, and danger we are more than conquerors through You who loves us abundantly. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, nor anything else in all of Your creation will be able to separate us from Your love that has been revealed to us through Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ. We rejoice with our family of believers and with all of Your creation in the paths of abundance You lay out before us as You walk hand in hand with us. Thank You Lord. Amen. |
