Heavenly Father, You have been there throughout my life, even when I was not serving You. I Have known that I was being protected far back as I remember. Even from death and even during a time in my life that I was in rebellion to everyone around me and even You. Thank You Lord for always loving us and for Your patience with us. Lord, all throughout Scripture we hear Your warnings but there is much that we cannot foresee nor do we understand. Some of this understanding will fall into place as we have opportunity to look back and see how You were at work though Your hand was not visible at the time. We desire to trust in You with all our heart and not lean upon our own limited understanding. As we trust You fully, we will obey You faithfully and Your blessings of favor will fall upon us. We praise You Jesus and pray this in Your mighty name. Amen.

Heavenly Father, although things in this world seem to be crashing in, You my Lord are still and always will be in control. You have a plan and although we may not understand at times, we need to trust in You. Father, thank You for sending Jesus to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins. At just the right time, while we were still powerless and dead in our trespasses, He died for us. Through His sacrificial death we are reconciled to You, our loving Father. Just as many in the human race died by the trespass of one man, Adam, how much more has Your grace overflowed, through the one Man, Jesus Christ, so that we live no longer as bond slaves to sin. Just as sin reigned in death, so also grace reigns through righteousness so that we have eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. You’re an on-time God sending Your Son, Jesus, at just the right time, to save us from our sins which would separate us eternally from You and the joys of heaven. In the loving name of Jesus, we thank You. Amen. Heavenly Father, You have blessed me with some amazing friends and I thank You. Lord, there are many times that I think of the people in my life that refresh me at the very sight of them or at the mention of their names. Father, I feel that there are people that You put in our path that have poured into our lives fruitful blessings by their kind actions and words, by their exemplary lifestyle and so often by their personal overcomings of life’s hardships. May we be not only recipients of such tender mercies, but diligent dispensers of loving kindness toward others. May our actions and words refresh them. Not that it should be our major motivation, but we know that when we refresh others, we ourselves are refreshed. So as we bless others, we too are blessed and we honor You as well. In Jesus name. Amen. Heavenly Father, because of people allover the world You have blessed me to be able to meet I have found that all over the world Your Spirit is moving and we praise You for that. Lord, You move through people such as the shepherds who told all they knew concerning the Christ Child. Two thousand years later we have so much more knowledge and experiences to share with those around us because we have the Word of God that shows Your divine character and tells us of Your great and miraculous deeds. Lord, may we never tire of hearing the stories of Jesus or become lax in telling others about Jesus. Your choice to enter this earth in such a lowly and timely manner is a story that not only the shepherds were commissioned to go out and tell, but it is the commission of all believers to spread this amazing story. It’s not just for the people of Jerusalem or simply a segment of our society or a select period in history. Instead Christ’s coming affects people of all tongues, tribes, and nations, from the north to the south, from east to west – all who will call upon the Lord Jesus to be saved. Help us to be bold and unwavering in our quest to reach the lost and dying world that touches us each day. In our Saviors name we ask and pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, You are the One true living God. The lover of my soul and my soul rejoices in the wondrous Gift of Your Son, Jesus, who descended from the sinless atmosphere of heaven and clothed Himself in the garment of humankind. Prior to this marvelous undertaking You spoke to us through the prophets who revealed only a partial and prepatory revelation of the Triune God. But the perfect revelation of who You are is revealed in the Person of Jesus Christ which is made understandable in human terms. For the Son is the radiance of Your glory and the exact representation of Your Being. As we have come to know Jesus, the Son of man, we also know You, Father, because Your character and power are revealed in the life and works of Your Son, Jesus. Thank You for mercifully adopting us as Your children and clothing us in robes of righteousness, for without this clothing, we cannot enter heaven. Glory Halleluiah ! In Jesus name I pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, in You I will put my trust in till the day You call me home. Lord as I taught yesterday on faith, we also looked at Mathew chapter 7. Lord, we consider the Scriptures that warn us of attitudes, desires, and behaviors that lead us on a road to destruction. We want to be faithful to the righteous path that we began the day we surrendered our lives to You. May we seek You wholeheartedly so that our desires, our actions, and our affections align us with the straight and narrow path You walked before us. Lord, it is easy to follow the in crowd. Living like the world does not bring glory to You, as it leads us to addictions, deceit, lying tongues and a prideful heart among many other things. Lord, May we use our resources for Your glory and not our own. In the name of Jesus we thank and pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, in getting to know You and putting my faith and trust in You alone I find there is nothing that we have need of that You do not supply. You are Jehovah - Jireh. Your benevolent nature gives us far more than we need and abundantly provides pleasurable and comfortable material possessions. Help us to know the difference between that which is essential, such as food, clothing and shelter, from the inessentials that make life a bit more comfortable and eases our work load. We are indebted to You for all that we have and want to be careful to share with those who have less. We thank You that Your divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of You who has called us by Your own glory and goodness. In the powerful name of Jesus I pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, Happy are those that know You and trust in You. When we are weak, we can lean on You, as You make us strong in the power of Your might. Lord, I know that godliness with contentment is of great benefit. It gives me a state of mind that is calm and satisfied; free from murmuring and complaining. I’m reminded that it takes little of this world’s goods to satisfy one whose citizenship is of another country. Help me to hold loosely to that which does not last beyond this life, and to clasp tightly that which has eternal significance. May the character of my soul and the fruit of my actions be of much greater importance than the perishable items that are alluring to me. I look to You for proper balance in the things You have blessed me with and the attitude in which I receive these good things from Your hands. Jesus, my Lord and my Savior, I rejoice in Your name this morning and I ask this prayer in Your precious name. Amen Heavenly Father, people talk about the stability of natural laws and the foolishness of the doctrine of Christ’s second coming, but the Christian faith signifies little without it. Lord, it is Your desire that we stay faithful to Your teachings. Scripture gives many examples of those who knew to do right, but chose to do wrong. The consequences of their wrong actions inflicted a great deal of loss, life-long regret and emotional pain, not only for themselves but often inflicting others as well. Help us to avoid the traps Satan has set for the believers by not only reading the Word, but applying its truth to our lives, and standing firm when the temptation to do wrong is ever before us. Help us *to control our own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know You. We pray for this in Jesus name. Amen. Heavenly Father, today I think of those that lost their lives on that dreadful day in 2001. Lord I also lift up their families and for us living in this once great country for understanding and comfort as terror on this land is still in the plans for those that hate us. My God and King, I have such a burning passion to tell the world about You and what You have done in my life since I chose to be Yours. When I gave You My heart, I made the willful choice to no longer conform to the trends and philosophies of this world. Lord when we do this, we instead ask You to daily renew our minds so that we see this world and its philosophies through the eyes of Christ. We are put to the test daily in deciding what is truth and what is error. May Your Holy Word be our reference point and Your Spirit be our Guide as we are exposed to countless philosophies based on human understanding and the basic principles of this world rather than Your eternal foundational truths. Sharpen our discernment and grant us courage so that we readily know truth from error and are fearless in saying so. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. |
