Heavenly Father, I love soaking in Your Word. I also love sharing those things that you show me daily with other believers and also to those that are interested in knowing You, but don't know how. Lord, we contend earnestly for the faith once for all entrusted to the saints! The opinions of people are vast and man-centered, but we choose to follow the Scriptures that teach us, Jesus is the only way to the Father, whereby we receive salvation and life forevermore. We seek to avoid evil and walk straight ahead, not going one step off the right path. By Your grace we will be found faithful.Thank You Jesus and in Your precious name I pray. Amen

Heavenly Father, I know that without Christ in my life, I would be lost and still wallowing in my sin and I owe You my life for that. Jesus, Your Word is a lamp to our feet and a light for our path. There is nothing You will ask of us that Your Word does not supply guidance, reassurance, and courage for us to follow. We thank You for the great examples of Biblical characters who model godliness for us. We thank You also for the examples careless and ungodly men men in Scripture who remind us of the negative consequences that follow those who walk in disobedience to Your manual. Help us to read it, follow it and share its truths with those whom You put in our path. Lord, help us to live Your Word so that others will know that we are different. I pray that in my life, if I was charged for being a Christian there would be strong evidence to find me guilty as charged. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, Your Word says we are to trust in You with all our heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all our ways acknowledge You, and You shall direct our paths. Lord, we so easily consume our mind and energies with offenses we suffer at the hands of cruel and hurtful people. But then we see how Joseph matured in the midst of his cruel treatment, rose above vengeful plotting and a tit for tat attitude, to focus on the bigger picture which was Your plan to save lives. May we rise beyond the foolishness and cruelty of others to see the bigger picture of Your overall plan for our lives. Whatever slight or evil intended by another cannot thwart Your good plan for our life if we are driven by Your Holy Spirit and not the offense. And at times it is in the offense that You conform us to be more like Jesus. You want us to forgive our offender so that we have deep abiding peace in our hearts and unobstructed focus for Your divine guidance in our lives. It is only through You that we can forgive and mature in our Christian walk. Amen. I praise You Jesus for working in my life and I pray this in Your precious name. Amen Heavenly Father, as I have traveled parts of this country and have seen beautiful pictures from friends online, I see we we are surrounded by Your awesome works and the endless display of Your divine handiwork. Lord, the entire universe is in perfect order which is a testimony to Your greatness and continued watchful eye over all of Your creation. The silent heavens speak as they declare Your majesty and glory. They also testify to Your righteousness and faithfulness as the Lord who created them and gave them a purpose for existence. May we, as Your human creation, also proclaim Your righteousness and faithfulness day after day. May our lives display the work of the Holy Spirit as we continue to grow in faith until the day of Christ's return. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, I thank you for the words You gave me to teach yesterday. Lord, there are so many people that are playing church instead of being the church. There are those that are unstable in their walk with You because of teachings that don't line up with Your Word. Lord, I ask you to help me to share the seriousness about dealing with everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles them. Help them not to play around with these matters that hold them captive and bring destruction to their lives. Put to death any desire or behavior which resurrects their earthly nature. Lord I pray that they be a people that are separated from that which is evil and wholly consecrated to You. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, today as we remember what Christ Jesus did some 2000 years ago, overcoming death by rising from the dead on the third day, just as He told His disciples. Lord, I pray that each person that reads this, may take the time to share with family members and friends the life of our blessed Savior. Not just today, Lord but everyday. Lord Jesus, You have commissioned us, as believers, to reach the lost, inviting them to surrender their lives to You and receive forgiveness of sins. It is at their point of surrender that we witness the supernatural working of the Holy Spirit; cleansing, restoring, purging, and maturing the young believer toward good works in Christ. We thank You for the cleansing work of the Holy Spirit at work in each of us who come to faith, equipping us with the endurance and perseverance needed to walk our journey of faith in the midst of an increasingly hostile and unaccepting society. It is through Jesus that we come to You in prayer. Amen. Heavenly Father, as we discussed last night during a Bible study, I see the importance of mentors in our lives and in return mentoring others in Your ways. Lord, I am grateful for the many believers who have invested in my life at the beginning of my spiritual journey and for those who presently spur me on to faithfulness, good works, and spiritual growth. Lord, just as King Joash needed the example and teaching of a godly priest, we too, need the exemplary guidance of those whose walk with the Lord is mature, consistent and inspiring. Speak to our hearts if we are to provide guidance to one who is struggling along the way, one whose life is complicated by factors that can easily lead him to stray from the right path. We want to be useful in building and expanding Your kingdom. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, I look around me and see all the beauty and am amazed at Your creative process and marvel at the beauty of life. I often think about creation, it''s beauty and think about how interesting it is how You made all the pieces fit. Lord You knit us together in our mother’s womb and provided everything we had need of before our birth and have done so as well all the years we have lived following our birth. You will do so until You call us home and there we will lack for nothing as we receive the inheritance that is waiting for us which can never perish, spoil or fade. Thank You for giving us life and providing for all our needs; physical, material, relational, and spiritual. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, You are all knowing, and Your love for us is beyond our way of thinking. So because of Your character, You teach us about the wiles of our adversary, the devil, and his cunning ways. We are not caught unaware but recognize his strategy as we regularly read Your Word and store it up in our hearts. Your precepts are right and because of that we hate every wrong path. Direct our footsteps according to Your Word so that we stay in pace with You, observing the yellow lights of caution, stopping at the red lights of danger, and staying within the confines of Your guardrails. As we do so we will not allow sin to dominate our lives or lead us astray. We pray for Your guidance in Jesus name. Amen. Heavenly Father, we praise Jesus for the sacrifice He went through. He Who did not deserve to die because of His innocence went through so much agony for me to bring me back to You. Lord, He paid the price that I could never pay and we who once were outcasts from Your kingdom have entered through the door via the cross. Though we were unworthy like a beggar in bondage and alone; You made us worthy and now by Your grace, Your mercy has made us Your own. We will spend all of eternity thanking and praising You for Your infinite mercy and the undeserved favor we receive as Your redeemed children. We thank You for Christ who made it possible and it is in His name that we pray and praise. Amen. |
