Heavenly Father, as this world is scrambling to buy necessities due to a growing pandemic there are also those who are buying scared and hoarding. Help us Lord, to look beyond material provisions and recognize that the value of spiritual blessings far exceed our temporal needs and pleasures. May our heart’s cry be the same as that of the Apostle Paul who declared, “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Physical suffering and persecution, for the sake of Christ, will prove our faith to be genuine and will gain for us a crown of life. Suffering and persecution here on earth is temporal, but a crown of life is eternal! Help us to live not just for the here and now, but set our affections on that which lasts forever so that we stay the course! May our faith in You increase as we build treasures in heaven rather than chasing after fool’s gold here on earth. We ask in the precious name of the true Messiah. Amen

Heavenly Father, You have declared, through the words of Scripture, that there is no other name under heaven given unto men by which we must be saved. The apostles, full of the Holy Spirit, shared that message with the elders and chief priests, boldly asserting that it is by the name of Jesus Christ, that people are saved, healed, and delivered. Our singular focus must be on Jesus, whom You offered as the only way to have an eternal relationship with us. Thank You, God, that I am free thanks to Your marvelous grace, through the blood sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ in whose name we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, we recognize that we are overcomers because we are children of God. The battles we conquer and the ultimate victory we attain is wholly because of the power of Christ at work in us. We are more than conquerors through Jesus who loves us and gave His life for our sins. Thank you for the inexhaustible supply of Your grace, power, and provision for our salvation and the ensuing battles of daily life. In the precious name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, You want us to build our lives on the firm foundation of Your Holy Word through our salvation in Jesus. And yet the devil perpetually beckons us to build our lives on the temporal, the popular, the physical and the mindset of this world instead. To counteract such deadly influence we will delight in Your Law and meditate on it day and night so that we will be like a tree firmly planted and grounded in Your Word. When the waters surge our roots will cling to that which holds as the foundations are crumbling. We choose not to be pulled down by the sinking foundations of this world, but to be lifted up by Your timeless, imperishable truths. In the name of Jesus I thank and pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, in the times like this country and the world are going through right now, we are assured that You will guide us each day as we keep in step with Your Spirit. You satisfy our needs and give strength to the weary. Thank You for hearing our cries and saving us from our troubles. Thank You for being close to the brokenhearted and comforting those whose spirits have been crushed. Though we choose to live according to Your ways we know that we’re not exempt from problems, but we are greatly encouraged to know that You, Father, solve them all and sustain us in the midst of them. By Your gracious all-sustaining power the sun will come up tomorrow no matter the darkness we might feel today. Thank You faithful, holy and righteous One. We pray this in the name of Yeshua. Amen. Jesus, Your sacrificial death on the cross became the tree of life for all who believe. It is the highest expression of love not only for those who bore the nails in your hands and shouted “Crucify, crucify” but it’s for all the generations who follow that were born under the sin curse. How grateful we are that You came from the glories of heaven to crush the head of the serpent, as You conquered death through Your miraculous resurrection so that we might be redeemed from the law of sin. We will partake of the tree of life in heaven because You partook of the cross of death here on earth. All glory and praise is due Your name. Amen. Heavenly Father, we make it our goal to find out what pleases You and, thereby, seek to do what is right in Your eyes. And yet we readily confess that far more times than we like to admit we have lived in vain conceit and sought after worldly pleasure. Since we know that You walk in the light we choose to walk in Your light shunning the darkness that accompanies our archenemy, the devil. We choose not to grow weary in well doing since we know that in due time we will reap a spiritual harvest if we do not give up. Help us to keep on keeping on in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, thank You for those special people with whom we walk this pilgrim pathway, those who are most dear to our hearts; the ones we call right away when we have good news or even when we must share bad news. We’re grateful for our life partners whom we promise to love and cherish till death do us part. May we be passionate in our expressions of love toward them. It’s a harsh world if we don’t have someone special to share our daily lives with so we pray for those who have parted with their mate due to death or other unfortunate situations. We’re comforted in knowing that You are closer than a brother or sister and provide spiritual companionship all the days of our lives. We draw on Your strength and find daily refuge in the shadow of Your wings. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, thank You for speaking to us through Bible doctrine, parables, fellow believers, and through life-altering events in our lives. You beamed Your searchlight from the portals of heaven to show us how lost we were. We’re tremendously blessed to know that celestial beings held a celebration in heaven when we chose to be Your followers. Though misplacing material items leads to time lost and great frustration, misplacing our faith leads to error and eternal damnation. Father, You’ve shown us the way and instructed us, “This is the way; walk in it.” Help us to seek out others who’ve yet to find the way so that they too will follow You and cause rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen. Heavenly Father, I do not know the exact day You will judge the earth, but the Bible judges the thoughts and attitudes of my heart each time I read it or meditate upon its truths. Help me to apply Your promises and commands to my life so that when the day of the Lord comes like a thief I will be prepared. The heavens and earth will disappear with a roar and everything in it will be laid bare. I look forward to a new heaven and a new earth which will be the home of righteousness instead of sinfulness. I will stand among the redeemed because You suffered long in waiting for my heart to become pliable and repentant. Help me to be found blameless and at peace with You due to the finished work of Christ on Calvary’s cross. Your patience, Lord, means salvation for the many who will soon come to repentance. I want to be diligently praying for their souls, bold in my witness, and exemplary in my Christian walk as I await the day of Your blessed appearing. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. |
