Heavenly Father, in times of uncertainty, I find that I find that reading from the book of Psalms helps me get back on the right path. Lord, I thank You for what You showed me this morning. Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation. Lord, It is our duty and privilege to trustingly wait upon You in adoration, supplication and service all the days of our lives. Those whose hearts are right with You, shall not err for want of heavenly direction in any time of perplexity. I’m indebted to Your loving grace that keeps me traveling the good path. There are many other paths that vie for my attention but I know instinctively through the Spirit and also by experience, that they are treacherous leading me to danger, a dead end, and leaving me with a spirit of unrest. I want to walk on the good path and find rest for my soul even in the midst of the dark valley experiences of my travels here on earth. I’m so grateful that You walk beside me on the path that leads to righteousness and eternal life. I praise You Jesus and in Your name I pray. Amen

Heavenly Father, Your Word is sure and pure, and venturing our souls upon it, we shall find it a shield against temptations, a safe protection in the midst of greatest dangers. Lord, Your Word assures us that if we are walking in the Spirit we will not fulfill the desires of the flesh but instead we will want to fulfill the desires that are in accordance with the Holy Spirit that resides within the believer’s heart. Help us to be at peace with others, as far as it is possible. There are those, who like the robin attacking its own image, who live in self-conflict. No matter how much we reach out or respond in love or forbearance toward them we still have conflict. Give us peace when we cannot improve the circumstances and a prayerful heart for endurance toward that which we cannot change. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, Your principles teach me that time spent reading the Word, meditating upon it and applying it to my life makes a vital difference in my Christian walk. Spending time with other believers and learning from their examples, as well as their testimony, is another way You’ve brought positive change into my life. Hearing sermons that cause me to think and often move me to more fully surrender my heart to You has brought about foundational growth in my life. I’m grateful for those who love me enough to keep me accountable to the commitment I’ve made to live a godly life. Thank You for the spiritual health and vitality You provide as I graze on the bounty of Your abundant life-giving “green pastures.” It is in the name of Jesus that we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, we see that true disciples of Christ will be men and women cautious in their judgment of others; conscious of their own faults; confident and earnest in prayer; wary of false teachers and hypocritical profession; building all eternal hopes upon the firm Rock, faith in Your Word. Lord, we ask You to help us apply Your teachings to our lives so that our foundation will be unshakable and storm-proof when the howling winds and surging rains beat against us. The foundation of this world is temporal and growing more and more decadent, so we choose instead to build our lives on the eternal foundation of Your Holy Word, as You teach us all throughout Scripture. Lord, we know that there will be among us who will be rejected by Christ in the last days, many preachers, so-called soul winners and good moral men, simply because devoid of true faith in Christ who alone is the foundation of salvation. Lord, let us not be ones of mere lip-devotion which signifies nothing, either here or hereafter. In Jesus name I pray. Amen Heavenly Father, what a change in this world from when I was a child, Even at a young age, I remember hearing pastors tell the congregation that You warned that in this world we will have trouble. In today's time we see it in every direction. It especially speaks to us when it comes near our house or when we are personally affected by the trouble. Your Word speaks of those who “hate good and love evil” and warn of the results. We can see this happening all over the world and even here in this country that used to pride itself with the phrase and we sang "O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!" Lord, I pray that even with all this nonsense of arguing over flags, that we not loose sight of You. You are to be the most important in our hearts. Jesus warned the church in of Ephesus of loosing their first Love. Let us heed that warning. Jesus I love You and praise Your name and ask this in Your name. Amen Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your promises and for You love towards us, even before we were born. Lord, thank You for making us joint heirs together with the family of believers in this wonderful eternal inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade kept in heaven for us. We claim this future inheritance and await the appointed date when we will experience in full the blessings it provides for us. Troubles in this life diminish our hope, but rejoicing in the life yet to be revealed gives us a living hope! Help us to fix our present hope on the future return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in whose name we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, as of late, You keep bringing me to the book of Isaiah. Lord, we see where You said “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.“ Lord, we know that You are infinite, eternal and unchangeable. You have governed the world from the beginning and You will until the end of time. Lord, may we therefore depend upon You as the God sufficient for us even during those storms that might and will come. We should stand in faith knowing You would not have Your people to be a timorous people, for Your grace can silence fears, even when there is the greatest cause for them. Lord we should know that You Lord, we know that You deal with the specifics in our lives as we encounter personal difficulties and quandaries. How comforting it is to know that You are alive forevermore and not only go before us, but You walk alongside us in our times of pain, confusion, loss, and when we’re uncertain what direction You want us to take. Ever-faithful and ever-loving God, we praise You for Your presence in our lives. It is through Jesus that we come to You in prayer. Amen. Heavenly Father, as I read scripture this morning, I am reminded that our lives are observed by those who see us day in and day out. Jesus, I remember so vividly what a wonderful change You did in my life when I surrendered my heart to You, the One true living God. Lord, guide my tongue and my actions everyday so that others will see what You continue to do in my life, and long to have that same change in their lives also. Lord, help us be on guard so that worthless idols do not win our affections; otherwise the light of Your Son Jesus will be diminished in our hearts and thereby, our witness. No person or object is of greater worth than that of Your Holy Spirit Who resides in our hearts and prompts us to lift our eyes toward our heavenly redemption that is drawing closer every hour. Thank You for saving us from the coming wrath when Your judgment is poured out on those who do not believe. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your Word and I thank You for Your Son Who died for me. Lord, I thank You for Jesus who was wounded for our transgressions, who bore our sins in His body on the tree. For our guilt He gave us peace, and from our bondage to sin He gave sweet release. The triumph of the cross is witnessed by the myriads of believers who follow Christ into heaven. We thank You for Jesus who is our victorious and soon coming King! We honor Him by surrendering our lives wholly to His set purpose. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. I pray this prayer in the name of Jesus, my Lord and my Savior. Amen. Heavenly Father, today we lift up in prayer our fathers, grandfathers, husbands and sons that they will pursue godliness above any earthly pursuit. Lord, in these times Satan is attacking Christian families with a vengeance. Lord, I pray these men will resist the temptation to fall into the devil’s trap where foolishness and harmful desires will plunge them to ruin resulting in disappointment, loss and heartache. Lord help them to flee from all this and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. You Lord are our Heavenly Father, so my prayer is that these men look to you through Your Word and through prayer. Help them to lead their families in the good fight of faith as they take hold of eternal life. Make them strong in their faith so that they throw away anything that hinders their spiritual walk. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. |
