Heavenly Father, as we give praise to You we are offering our heartfelt thanks for who You are and for all that You do on our behalf. As we mature in our walk with You we realize that there are many occasions when we must offer a sacrifice of praise since it doesn’t always come easily nor often enough. It is in those circumstances that we willfully choose to praise You out of obedient hearts desirous of pleasing You and glorifying Your name. May our words be fruitful and our thoughts praiseworthy in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, there is sickness and violence and catastrophes happening all around the world. You are the God of all Comfort. Just as You share in our sufferings You also share in our comfort. How grateful we are that when sorrow flows over into our lives Your comfort overflows into our hearts. Your comfort brings peace, assurance and a renewed sense of hope as we abide in You. We place complete confidence in Your providential work in our lives and Your perfect timing. How reassuring to know that nothing escapes Your notice, but You walk us through each life changing event. No enemy, no loss, or difficult situation will defeat us as moment by moment You tenderly care for us. Thank You for being our Rock and Shield in whom we take refuge. The troubles of this life will soon be over and we’ll cross over on the other shore. Lord, what unspeakable delight awaits us as we anticipate our rich welcome into Your eternal kingdom. We give thanks to You, for Your love truly endures forever! In Jesus name we thank and ask this prayer. Amen. Heavenly Father, we count among our rich blessings the bounty of Your handiwork – whether it’s that which we can observe only at a distance or that which we can examine closely, touch with our hands, smell or taste. Spending just one day studying the clouds, or a walk in the country with all the different kinds birds and animals and plants reminds us of the variety in Your creative handiwork. You are a benevolent Father, giving us so much to enjoy. Creation declares Your glory causing us to delight in Your creativity, in all its bountiful and varied displays. We give You thanks for it all. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, to authenticate that we are truly Your children, You make us heirs with You and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in Christ’s sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory. Our glorious eternal inheritance does not come without our participation in the temporal suffering believers are called upon to endure here on earth. We may have to endure mockery and persecution. It may be physical affliction or great financial restraints. We may lose the love and devotion of those whom we hold dear when we take an unyielding stand for You. No matter the price and no matter the suffering may it teach us more about Your decrees and the glory of our suffering for Christ. It is in His name that we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, I have heard those that say when we surrender our live to Jesus, tempests will be gone. Nowhere in Your Word can we find that there won't be problems that we may go through, but I do find that You will help us through them. Lord, we pray that we will continue to mature in our Christian walk. Scripture, repeatedly, indicates that spiritual maturity is a result of enduring trials of various kinds. In the midst of these trials Your faithful promptings and guidance through Scripture, other believers, and the circumstances we face can be ignored or silenced when self gets in the way. Today we make every effort to add to our faith those characteristics that will sustain and grow us in our Christian walk. In doing so we will be effective and productive in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, during times of ease but even more so during times of difficulty. Keep us faithful and growing, and expressing thanks in everything, according to the Scripture, “In all things give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward You.” In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, for years now I have been telling people when asked how I am doing, I say I am blessed. Thank You Lord for blessing me and I thank You that even days that I don't feel good, or things seem to go wrongly, I know that You have and will continue to bless me. You have given me many treasures that cannot be bought with money. Friendship is among them. I thank You for the special friends within the J and L Ministry who brighten my outlook and challenge me to be a better person. Thank You for my caring brothers and sisters in Christ who love me and never give up on me even when I might feel like giving up on myself. Lord, I pray for blessings over family members and true friends, who pray with and for me and expresses love for me in ways that build me up and strengthen me in the trials of life. I pray that you continue to bless my bride who loves me and supports me even during my down times, or when her health has her down. Father, You are the greatest and most trusting Friend that I will ever know so help me to draw nearer to You so that You draw nearer to me. In the precious name of Jesus I ask and thank. Amen. Heavenly Father, when we look around the communities where we live and even in some of our homes, we see people concerned about worldly matters. We see people judging others because of how someone looks. While the world obsesses over outward appearances such as good looks, muscular bodies or perfect figures Your Word is impassioned with teaching regarding the inner heart; the very character of who we are when no one but You are looking. Help us to be more concerned what You see on the inside than what others view from the outside. Peace, joy and love come from within the soul and no outward adornment, fashion accessory or muscular frame can produce or duplicate those fruit of the Spirit. Help us to be slow to judge and quick to pray for those who are different from us and help us to see them and love them as Jesus does. It is in His name that we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, You are good and in thanksgiving we lift our voices of praise from grateful hearts, Father. We truly give thanks to the God of heaven whose steadfast love endures forever. Whether in seasons of prosperity or in seasons of want we find Your grace sufficient to meet each one of our needs. You guide us, protect us, and You provide for us as we journey here below. Every good and perfect gift comes from Your hand. We thank You, faithful Father! We praay that for those that are traveling this week that You protect them and that all of us walk and talk as true believers of Jesus. We ask all these things in Jesus name, Amen. Heavenly Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus the name above all others and we join together as true believers desiring to clothe ourselves in Christ Jesus, whose Spirit resides within our hearts. We pray that our behavior would honor You as we seek to behave decently and live according to the pattern of Holy Scripture, for “we were taught, regarding our former way of life, to put off our old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of our minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like You in true righteousness and holiness.” May lust of the flesh be burned up by the fire of the Spirit that ignites us as we redirect our affections, energies, and time to that which is righteous and eternal. Make us like You, Father, as we follow after You in righteousness and holiness. In the name of Jesus we pray in unwavering faith. Amen. |
