Heavenly Father, thank You for your Son Jesus who died for me so that I could have eternal life. Thank You for Your Word that has renewed my mind with Your truths. Lord, I want to pass on life transforming truths from Your Holy Word to those around me and those who follow me. I do so through my actions, my thoughts, and my words. May I honor You in these areas of my life so that I influence others for the Kingdom of God. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Heavenly Father, may we desire to do Your will, to hide Your Word deep in our hearts so that we will not walk in the ways of sin but instead the paths of righteousness. Lord I have found that great blessing belongs to those who read and understand the Your Word and more blessed is the man whose life is the practical transcript of the Your will as revealed in the Scriptures. The disciples of Christ who sit at His feet and let Him interpret the Word to them are often better skilled in divine things than the doctors of divinity. The best way to find “the wondrous things” is to saturate the study of the Word in prayer which makes it possible for Christ to speak to us out of the Word, through the Holy Spirit. Help us to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness above all so that we will do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with You, our Lord and God. In the name of Jesus we ask and pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, I lift up those who have sacrificed their lives for this country. Also the families, Lord that lost their brave men and women. May they never be forgotten. Lord, we also we give thanks to You that we can walk in victory because of Your Son Jesus Christ. Once we were held captive by sin and its enslavement, but we have been set free through the redemptive work of Jesus and His glorious resurrection. Each day brings new challenges, but we overcome them through the blood of the Lamb. Help us to stand firm in our faith and immovable in Your truths, as we daily serve You. We are encouraged to know that nothing we do for You is in vain though we may not see immediate results. Keep us obedient and trusting. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, it’s interesting that we often plead for Your attention and certainly expect You to listen to our prayers and You assure us through Your Word that You hear us when we call on You. But for true fellowship to exist we too must listen to Your voice through Scripture, through fellow believers, through Your many works of creation, and through Your still small voice that beckons our attention. You have so much to tell us that will often encourage us, sometimes reprove us, but always spur us on to good works and needed spiritual perspective as we journey here below. Help us to listen, to heed, and to be steadfast in our daily fellowship with You. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus my Lord and my Savoir. You are a friend that never leaves us nor forsakes us. When we feel that a friend has despised, betrayed, or misrepresented us we can take it to You in prayer because You know all about it. Lord, as members of the body of Christ, the Holy Spirit will endue us with spiritual gifts for You service that we might confirm and build up others in the faith and that we might dispense the saving doctrines of Your grace to the unsaved.Father God, You know the motive of our heart while others may not and You guide us accordingly. Give us insight and wisdom regarding our relationships with those of the faith and those who are not. Keep us from harboring a vengeful spirit or allowing bitterness to root within our hearts. We want to grow and mature in the ways that make us more like You. Help us to do so as we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen. Heavenly Father, I have a song going through my head this morning. Though I don't know the name of it, or who sang it, I will be thinking of it all day. "God of past ages, Lord of this morning, "Lord of the future, Help us, we pray: Teach us to trust You, Love and obey You, Crown You each moment Lord of today.: You have given us Your Holy Word as a spiritually historical foundation to build our lives upon. Through the centuries Your greatness is demonstrated through ordinary people just like us and through Your awesome acts that reveal Your incomparable power and divine attributes. History in the past and history in the making is subordinate to Your sovereign work in the lives of Your people. We lovingly submit ourselves into Your merciful hands.It is in the precious name of Jesus we ask and pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, scripture tells us "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." You do the impossible and provide for our every need. You divided the sea and led the Israelites through to safety. You guided them with the cloud by day and the fire by night. You split rocks in the desert and gave water in abundance. You rained down manna and gave them more than they could eat. And yet in spite of all this they kept on sinning; in spite of Your miraculous wonders they did not believe. What a picture this is for us today when we put You to the test, when we rebel against Your statutes, when we abandon Your truths. Father, search our hearts today and see if there be unbelief or wickedness within. Cleanse us by the fire of Your Holy Spirit so that we may be renewed in spirit and resolved in our absolute commitment to be faithful in our walk. No matter the wilderness ahead we are guided by You to safety and we are consoled by the fact that the Promised Land awaits those who endure to the end. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. Heavenly Father, how grateful we are that Your grace is so much greater than our sin. Our spiritual burden is lightened when we ponder the Scripture, “Where sin abounds, grace doth much more abound.” We do not want to be overcome by evil but we want to overcome evil with good and the way that we can do this is to absorb, maintain, and uphold the Scriptural understanding of good and evil. We pray against authorities, personalities, and persuasive rhetoric that tempts us to compromise or water down the truths we learn from Scripture. The contrasts of light vs. darkness, good vs. evil, the spiritual nature vs. the sinful nature are abundant in Scripture. May the guiding light by which we live our lives in these evil days be the light of Your Holy Word. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, I think about the crown of thorns that was shoved on my Savior's head. The thorns Christ wore for us and with which He was crowned, sanctify and make easy all the thorns in the flesh we may ever be afflicted with. I also consider today the path of life laid out for those who are wise. It certainly isn’t the shortest, most traveled, or least difficult trail. There are times when the incline may be so steep it forces me on all fours, but that’s a posture in which I’m most humbled. It forces me to kneel down before You, the Lord my Maker. Your strength is perfect when my strength is fleeting. It is a place where I realize it is no longer my strength but it is in Your perfect strength that I walk. It is no longer my plan but Your perfect plan that I follow. It is no longer my wisdom but Your perfect wisdom that instructs me. You give perfect direction and adequate strength to walk the upward path that leads to life everlasting. Thank You that I will never walk the path of life alone, for You lead the way as You make my feet like hind’s feet on high places. Thank You Jesus. I praise You Lord and it is in Your name I pray. Amen Heavenly Father, thank You for saving me. Lord, a great and happy change is possible on the basis of Christ’s finished redemption whereby men are quickened to eternal life by faith apart from their own merits. Thank You Jesus. As Your new creation we have crucified our sinful selves and found new life through Your indwelling Holy Spirit. We have given up our old selfish desires and sin no longer masters our thoughts and actions. We deny our sinful nature so that Your will may be accomplished in our lives as we reflect Your glory day by day. Your deliverance power gives us the strength we need to deal with the ongoing temptation to yield to our old sinful nature. In our power struggle between good and evil we gratefully proclaim: “Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.” In Jesus name we pray. Amen. |
