Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gospel that saved me for I am neither Jew nor Greek, but one who was lost and now am found. It was Your righteousness that was revealed to me, and I thank You for the courage to receive it by faith. Oh, how I long for all those I love and for those I have yet to meet to know the truth that will set them free. I thank You for the gift of faith from the first day I met You and faith that continues to propel me to live a righteous life. I pray for my brothers and sisters to remain strong in their faith even when they are faced with various trials. I thank You for the patience to endure as we are being refined into Your image and likeness. I cry out for Your mercy and for You to restrain Your wrath that will be revealed from heaven against the ungodly and unrighteous people who suppress truth. Fill us with the power of the Holy Spirit to continue to do the work of evangelist as we gather many more into the ark of Your love. It is Your loving kindness that brought me and so many others to repentance, please Lord answer our prayers for more souls to be freed by Your kindness, tender mercies and grace. Jesus You are the Light of the world, shine forth this day as the only beacon of hope and deliverer from the powers of darkness. May the joy of You Jesus be our strength today and forever more. I love You Lord Jesus, Amen.

John 21:1
After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias and in this way, He showed Himself:
Dear Heavenly Father, Peter declared even if all are made to stumble, he would not. Yet he denied Your Son three times, but Your mercy and grace poured out from the cross restored him. This is a sobering reminder to me to be on guard as pride comes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. I thank You that You love those with a broken and contrite heart not despising us. May my lowly state be a sacrifice acceptable to You. May I be alert to the overconfidence that is deadly especially when it comes to my health. Pride was satan's downfall and it can be mine as well. Let me not be hasty in my declaration that I can do it, I can overcome when truth is I can do nothing apart from You Almighty. You have graciously casted away my infirmity and met me on the shore restoring hope and peace. You have showed Yourself to me as the great Physician, healer and redeemer. I pray Lord for those who are awaiting a touch from You may they receive it today. May we cast our nets to the other side because we have exhausted ourselves in our own strength. I pray Lord for those who are struggling and need provisions to be blessed with a net full of abundance. I pray for those who have no hope to take refuge in You the One who is the way, the truth and the giver of life. I thank You Lord for calming the seas of the anxious and fearful. I thank You Lord Jesus for all the testimonies of Your children and the declarations of You our God is great, mighty and worthy of all our praise. Amen.

John 20:28
And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"
Dear Lord thank You for the peace only You can give. Always greeting us with Shalom in the midst of our worries and concerns. How loving and patient an act to graciously let Thomas touch Your pierced hands and side that reminds all of us to be believing not unbelieving in the midst of various circumstances. You truly did many signs in the presence of Your disciples, and many more were not even written in the Bible, but I am thankful for Your Holy Word that is true. You had them recorded so many people

John 19:8
Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid.
Forgive us Lord for the times we are more afraid of people in this world than being in awe of You. You Lord are with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me, nothing. You have instructed us to speak in the light what You have told us in the dark and what we hear to preach on the housetops. We shall not fear those who kill the body because they cannot kill the soul. I thank You that You have taught me fear of You so I may have wisdom. I thank You that You cared so deeply for me that You went to the cross and paid my ransom. Two sparrows may be sold for a copper coin and not one of them fall to the ground apart from Your will Father. I thank You that You know me so intimately, even knowing the number of hairs on my head, I shall not be afraid for You have thought me more valuable than the sparrows. I pray Lord to have boldness in my speech to confess to the world around me You Jesus are Lord and Savior, Redeemer and Friend. I thank You that You will graciously confess me to our Heavenly Father. I thank You for enduring the mocking, scourging and suffering on my behalf, one of the ones unworthy to even untie Your sandal strap. I find myself desiring to break open the alabaster jar of my heart and anoint Your feet with tears of gratitude, love and devotion all my ordained days. Jesus be magnified in and through my life. Amen.

John 18:4
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, "Whom are you seeking?"
You Lord have commanded us to be strong and courageous, to not be afraid nor discouraged for You are with us wherever we go. You have also promised us Your peace that only You can give not like the world gives. Father, I pray for us Your children to not let our hearts be troubled in the times we are living, for Your precious and beautiful Son overcame it all for us. May our hearts rejoice and be glad as we go forth in our daily rounds, with praise continually on our lips. May we be reminded of Jesus courage as He boldly faced those who would arrest Him, torcher and beat Him, that we too can face
