Hosea 2:19

"I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me. In righteousness and justice, in loving kindness and mercy; I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, and you shall know the Lord."

Dear Heavenly Father,
When I read this loving passage, this song runs through my heart. Going to the chapel, going to get married... You have said to no longer call You master, but that I shall call You my Husband. Through Your loving sacrifice on the cross, and the repenting of my sin You have betroth me forever. Oh, the image of my blessed Savior taking the hand of this sinner to be Your beloved bride. You have blessed me through the years giving me grain, wine and oil. You multiplied my silver and gold which I offered up to false gods and sacrificed them to idols of materialism, gods of athletics, and the spirit of gluttony. Bless You Lord for Your loving kindness that allured me and comforted me in the wilderness of my emptiness. You have used my valley of trouble as a door for me to pass through. Returning to singing as in the days of my youth. You have taken me from the land of bondage, removed from my mouth the names of wicked masters. Bless You Lord Jesus for the gift. Lord during this Christmas season I've been thinking on the wise men as they followed the star, to where it rested over Your amazing and miraculous birth and I desire to do as they did. As I gaze upon Your truth may I not return to that from which I came. Praising and rejoicing for Emmanuel is with me. I love You Lord Jesus. In You holy name I pray, Amen.

Luke 6:31

And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

Dear Heavenly Father,
In the third book of Moses, Leviticus says; We should not hate our brother in our hearts. We shall surely rebuke our neighbor, and not bear sin because of him. We should not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of our people, but we should love our neighbors as ourselves, for You are the Lord. Father at this very special time of year, when we recall the gift of Your Only Son, instead of joy and peace in the hearts of those around me, I sense tension and discouragement. Anxieties, expectations and exhaustion abound. If only we would stop for a moment and recall Jesus' simple words that are truth, how much better we would be. What a beautiful Christmas gift to take off the pressure to preform, provide and participate in an endless amount of so-called celebration. I have to wonder Lord where we left You in all of this. Are You creatively wrapped and under the tree. Have we strung You along the length, width and depth of the exterior of our homes. Or perhaps You are crammed in a shopping bag with many other things we treasure. Forgive us Lord, we have strayed from You. We have turned to idols and forgotten You. Father as I ponder these words from Luke, I desire for my heart be open and love as I want to be loved. Father, I pray that I would remember to give, care and serve as Your precious and wonderful Son Jesus did. May I speak kind words to the exhausted cashier at the shopping mall. Give a small bag of cookies to the man ringing the bell outside the market. A cup of hot cocoa to the frozen gas station attendant to warm his body and soul. May my hands be willing to help an elder man to his car, my lips smile and laugh with a woman in a wheelchair over silliness. Send an unexpected note of love to a dear friend. Give a tender embrace to a grieving grandmother whose heart is broken over the loss of her only grandchild. Leaving the cares and demands of the world behind to focus fully on You, the reason for the season.  May it last the whole year through. Jesus may my little light shine for You, the love of my life.  In Your name I pray, Amen.

2 Corinthians 12:10

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 

Dear Heavenly Father, 
My hope Lord is to bless You at all times. May praises continually be in my mouth. Oh that my soul shall make boast of You my Lord. I pray that the humble should hear of it and be glad. Lord thank You for the many times You have been merciful and gracious to me and for the time I hadn't notice. I believe You will strengthen me on my bed of illness, and sustain me on my sickbed. Lord Jesus I believe You have overcome all things, You are the great I AM. I wait for Your glorious return, but until then I will give thanks in this chronic illness. For You have revealed Yourself in so many amazing ways. Your grace is more than sufficient for me. I pray that Your strength is made perfect in my weakness. How blessed I am to have loving friends and family to pray precious prayers to You on my behalf. How blessed I am that You meet all my physical, emotion and mental needs. With awestruck wonder I marvel at Your greatness. Jesus You are teaching me so many things through this infirmity, I couldn't have chosen a better way to have my faith, hope and trust in You deepen. Yes, like Paul had said, I take pleasure in this, and I know full well it must sound strange to others, but You are so near to me. There is nothing more I desire than to have more of You and less of me. Lord I will gladly boast in my sickness because I know You are resting upon me. I thank You Lord Jesus for Your loving kindness, it surprises every day. Some would say it is a thorn in my flesh, but the thorniest of roses bring the most beautiful of blooms. Thank You Lord for comforting me when weak and dancing with me when the symptoms subside. I love You Jesus with all my heart, soul, mind and strength even if it is movement ever so slow. Amen.

Song of Solomon 3:5

I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or by the does of the field, do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Bless You that the rich and the poor have something in common, You Father created them all. You have taught us, no matter if we are living in poverty or plenty, we are to train up our children in the way they should go, and when they are old they will not depart from it. May we remember and pass along through the generations that to everything there is a season. You have given a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die; a time to weep and a time to laugh. There is also a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing. You Lord Jesus make everything beautiful in its time. You Lord have also put eternity in our hearts. I pray for all to know nothing is better than to rejoice, and do good in our lives. That we should eat and drink and enjoy the good of our labor because it a gift from You. I pray Lord for the young, the single, widow or widower may they not even go pass the tempters door. But by Your Spirit may they pay attention to Your wisdom. Grant them ears to understand. For the lips of the immoral drip with honey, and their mouths are smoother than oil. Oh but in the end they are as bitter as wormwood. Father I pray for Your precious children, male and female alike not to grow wanton, lusting with their eyes, and weakening to fulfill the desires of their flesh. But may they be examples of Your truth in word, in love, in spirit, in faith, and purity. May they not envy sinners, but be zealous for You Lord all their days. May they chose a good name and reputation over great riches, loving Your favor rather than silver and gold. Oh Father that they shall not awaken or stir up love until its time. In Your beautiful, holy and precious name Jesus, Amen.

Mark 1:24

...saying, "Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are-the Holy One of God!"

Dear Heavenly Father,
You have called to me saying "Follow Me." Lord as I have laid down my nets so to speak to go where You go, pursuing You with every step. I have come to understand the devices I've used to get the things I've desired in this life. The barriers I've put up to keep my heart from being expanded through various trails and challenges of life. The mesh that I have used to keep my life in order has kept me from truly fully living.  I realize my old way of thinking was the material I used to build my intricate life upon. You have untangled me from the strands that ensnared me, not mending me back to my old ways but setting me on a new journey. Lord Jesus I'm astonished at Your teachings, and Your authority over all the earth and living things. The past several days of quite observation have brought many revelations and concerns. Many who profess to know You as the Holy One of God, and attend local congregations, listening to all that You have taught are yet filled with unclean spirits. The same filthiness I wrapped in. Many Lord Jesus cling to their old selves not yielding to Your gracious mercy. Only desiring to be left alone to continue on with their sin. Jesus many souls are being held captive by the darkness and in need of Your cleansing blood. Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth by the power of Your Holy Spirit quiet the demons and cast them out of those who are in the fellowship of believes causing disorder, turmoil, disruption and unrest. May those unclean spirits be quieted and come out from the assemblies, restoring order to Your beloved Bride the church. Yes, Lord You did come to destroy the evil one and his minions, they know it full well, and tremble at the sound of Your great name. Thank You Lord for hearing my prayers to set the captives free, and cleansing the temple of Your children. Bless You Lord Jesus that all glory, power and honor our Yours forever and ever. Amen.

Mark 1:18-25

Mark 4:8

"But other seeds fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirty fold, some sixty and some a hundred."

Oh, give thanks to the Lord! I call upon Your name; making known Your deeds among the people! I shall sing to You psalms, and talk of Your wondrous works! Glorifying Your holy name. Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek You Lord! May I give testimony to all those who look for You and Your strength. May they continually worship You in the beauty of holiness! May we give You Lord the glory that is due You, bringing an offering of praise before You. For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised!  Father I pray for all those who call out to You to save them, may they come to know Your mercy that endures for ever. I pray that as the seed of Your Word and the testimony of my heart goes forth from my lips it will be planted on fertile rich soil of a soul who is lost and ready to be found. Father I pray that the birds of the air will not snatch the seed and devour it. Lord break up the stony, hard and fallow ground of those who have walked through life with an embodiment that is dry, parched and dead. May they receive Your written word that brings vitality. Do not allow the thorns and weeds to choke it out but may it take root and bring forth a change. May new growth spring forth that is lush and hardy. Father I thank You for Your Spirit that lives with in me. He who also is constantly tilling and preparing soil of my own heart for more understanding, wisdom and knowledge of You to be used to sow into another's life. As I scatter the seed of Your love may they produce crops of a hundredfold. May my own spiritual growth be recognizable to those around me. As You prune and trim the dead areas off me, may Your Spirit bring forth beautiful blooms filled with the sweet aroma of truth, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self control. Thank You Lord for hearing my prayers, blessing me with Your love, joy and peace all the days of my life. In Your name Jesus I pray and give thanks, Amen.

John 12:37

But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him,

Dear Heavenly Father,

This morning I arise before the crack of dawn with a heaviness in my heart. As I meditate on Your beautiful scripture; Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not my heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid Lord Jesus. I believe in God and I believe He's You. I have been so blessed with lovely surroundings, clothing, a warm shelter, a sweet and precious family, caring friends, and many wonderful worldly things, thank You. But my heart is concerned for those who have seen signs, wonders and have be blessed beyond expectation and yet they have blinded eyes, hardened hearts and are in darkness. Oh Father that they should see, understand and turn to You and You shall reconcile them unto Yourself.  In Christ and though Him, the greatest gift and treasure was given that cannot be compare to anything else. May we rejoice for when the fullness of time had come, You sent forth Your precious One and only Son Jesus, born of a woman, under the law to redeem all, that we may be adopted as sons and daughters. Because we are Yours, Father God, You sent forth the Spirit of Your Son into our hearts to cry out to You "Abba Father!" How is it Lord that even though You are known, many turn to the weak and beggarly elements, with a desire to be back in bondage? Father I am afraid for them. It's a though they are saying all over again, "Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!" Are their eyes so disoriented that they do not see Your Son Jesus who has already been pierced for our transgression, taking our sins upon Himself. Lord Jesus, You have said the most beautiful and loving words ever spoken "It is finished!" You Lord are not a liar and shall not be mocked! You have risen indeed! There is no greater sign or wonder needed. Just believe! Lord have mercy on the backsliders, may they drop everything, repent and run to You before it is to late. I love You Lord Jesus. Thank You for opening my eyes and softening my heart to be created new. In You beautiful and holy name, Christ, Amen.

Oh, bless our God, you peoples! And make the voice of His praise to be heard.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Hear my joyful shout to You Lord, my God.  I will sing out the honor of Your name. May I come making glorious praises to the wise King. Father please hear me, oh how awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies submit to You. May all the earth worship and adore You Lord Jesus. May all sing praise to Your name. Father may I call to those around me to come and see the works of my God. Bless You Lord for You have turned the sea to dry land. Bless You Lord for You have crowned the year with Your goodness. Your paths drip with abundance. I'm blessed for I have been chosen by You, that I may dwell in Your courts. Bless You Lord for You satisfy me with the goodness of Your house, Your Holy temple. You Lord Jesus are my salvation. Bless are You Jesus, You are the confidence of all the ends of the earth. Thank You Lord for every good and perfect gift You have blessed me with. Your loving kindness even in the smallest detail. Oh how great You are God!  I pray Lord for all to know the truth of Your mercy and grace that endures forever. I love You Jesus. I have so much to be grateful for, so may all  glory, honor and praise be Yours. May it pour forth from my small and thankful heart. In Your name, Amen

Romans 14:19

Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.

Oh Heavenly Father my cups runs over with joy after spending time today at a sweet and simple house in the middle of a impoverished city. Ah but Lord You are there working in the hearts of the outcast children and the beautiful and loving couple that care for the need of the least of these. How blessed I was to behold Your hands and feet hard at work, persevering through many trials, storms and unending challenges over the years firmly rooted and grounded in You. To see Your son and daughter walking out their faith, not looking at how the world sees things but through Christ like eyes that trust all things are possible for those who live in You. Father thank You for the gift of time spent with these very special people, to talk, laugh and share in all the things we are thankful for in one mind and one accord. Father I pray You will continue to bless this precious home with ever good and perfect gift from above. Meeting and exceeding every need. Protect each adolescent whereever they may go. May each and everyone come to know You and their names be written in the Lambs book of life. May they know the love, mercy and grace You have for each of them along with the unique plan You have for their lives. Strengthen Your son and daughter to continue the work that You have called them to do, keeping them healthy and strong. Father send the helpers to walk along side this very special couple to help carry the load all the while praising and worshiping Your Holy name Jesus. I can't thank You enough for the memories of today that I will long cherish. I'm inspired for they have truly pursed peace, uplifting and encouraging the next generation in Your name and for Your glory! Hallelujah. Amen.

Ephesians 2:10

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Dear Heavenly Father,
You Lord alone saves. By Your grace You gave the gift of salvation. That never originated by any effort of our own, but arose from Your loving kindness given at the cross. Lord You created everything and everyone for Your good pleasure. The earth and everything in it is Your masterpiece. I am awestruck by Your handiwork when I gaze upon small infants the intricacies of their bodies and beauty of their feature are incredible. When I glance out the window at the setting sun and the spectacular display of color painted across the sky I'm in awe of Your artistry. Early in the stillness of the morning as I listen in quiet, a solo bird sings a sweet melody as the day dawns and the grass glistens with frost it truly takes my breath away. As I reflect upon my life and purpose I'm sure of only one thing I was created to bring glory to You my loving Father, with all I do and say. May I walk in the light of Your amazing love, honor You with words and deeds and tell every friend and foe of Your amazing grace. Thank You Jesus for loving me, giving up Your life so I may have life eternal. Thank You Jesus that You are with me even to the end of the age to complete every work You have for me. May I loving serve You with humble devotion, lifting You high for all the world to behold Your magnificent glory. I love You Lord with all that is with in my small, human existence. Thank Your for Your precious shed blood that has cleansed me from all my iniquities. May I walk in Your ways all the days of my life. In Your precious name I pray. Amen.

John 20:31

...but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. 

Dear Holy Father,
There was a time when I was like Thomas unbelieving, until I could see for myself. But a leap of faith has blessed me for I have not yet seen the physical Christ, but I believe with all my heat, soul and strength You have given Your beautiful and precious Son as ransom to pay my sin debt. You have promised most assuredly, that he who hears Your words and believes in Jesus would have everlasting life and shall not come into judgement but pass from death to life. Father I pray for those who are spiritual dead to hear the voice of Your Spirit calling, may they run to Him and they shall live. I pray they will not be afraid, but behold we who believe bring good tidings of great joy, the Savior who is Christ our Lord has come. I pray Lord to share my testimony that is true and other will know it is the truth so they too will come to believe in You who creates all things new. Even though I have been grieved by various trials, the genuineness of my faith which is more precious than gold has been tested by fire. May I be found praising, honoring and glorifying the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom I love where ever I may go. I rejoice Lord with joy inexpressible and full of thanksgiving for the gift. May all the people come to know, and every knee bowing, confessing with all their hearts You are the salvation of their souls.  Father I pray to cast my net on the right side to become a fisher of men, following You all the days of my life. In Your name Jesus, Amen.

Matthew 18:2

Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will be no means enter the kingdom of heaven."

I pray to You Heavenly Father so my heart may not be haughty, nor my eyes lofty. May I not concern myself with great matters, nor with things too profound for me. May I just come to You as a child. Surely You will quiet my soul. Like a weaned child with his mother, so is my soul within me. My hope is in You my Lord and God from this time forth and forever. I pray for all to humble themselves like little children, with trust, dependence, and awestruck wonder as they seek Your face, Father. How blessed are the meek for they share inherit the earth. Lord may my understanding of the essentials of humility deepen. The knowing of its importance to enter the kingdom of heaven, to grasp the greatness of You, to prevent offenses, to carry on living with proper discipline, and for extending forgiveness to one another. I rejoice for those Father who humble themselves as a little child for they are the greatest in heaven and truly following the example of Your beautiful and magnificent Son Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Father I ask for the blessing of eyes that see as You see, so I may receive and welcome in to my heart those who are childlike in Your name. May the revelation of what real fellowship is all about be made known to the ends of all the earth. I love You Lord. In Your name Jesus I pray, Amen.

Luke 2:37

...and this women was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fasting and prayers night and day.

Dear Holy Father,
You Lord are my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? You are the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? My heart Lord shall not fear. One thing I desire of You Lord, and that which I seek, that I may dwell in Your house all the days of my life. To behold the beauty of holiness. For in times of trouble or sickness You have hid me in Your pavilion, in the secret place of Your tabernacle. Oh Lord that You would set me high upon the rock. Father, as I think upon Anna fasting and praying, serving You night and day, my hearts desire is to do the same. I bless You Lord for the faithful saints who are in their later years, whom You sent to nurture and minister to me. I pray Lord as they draw near to You, You will bless their days so they are far greater than there former days. Lord Jesus You have lifted up our heads above our enemies. Therefore we will offer the sacrifices of joy. To know Your presence in this life and not be dissuaded by the enemy. Lord You are of such pleasant nature, I shall sing and praise You. When You said "Seek My face," my heart answered and said to You, "Your face, Lord, I will seek all the day of my life." When the world around me has forsaken me, O God of my salvation, You Lord will always take care of me. Father, teach me Your ways. Lead me on the path that is smooth. I shall wait on You Lord, being of good courage and You shall strengthen my heart. I pray for all to wait upon You so they may see Your goodness. Even when adversaries and false witnesses rise up against Your children, they shall not lose heart because they believe in You the risen Christ. May we continue to give thanks and speak of You Jesus to all who look for redemption. In Your blessed name Jesus, Amen.

Praise the Lord!

Dear Heavenly Father,
Even though my body aches, I shall praise You my Lord! I shall praise You in the sanctuary; praise You in Your mighty firmament! Even though my bones groan, I shall praise You for Your mighty acts; praising You Lord according to Your excellent greatness! Even though the fatigue wants to consume me, I will praise You with the sound of the trumpet, praise You even more with the harp and lute! Praising You with timbrel and dance! Yes, even though my head throbs, I shall praise You with loud and crashing cymbals!! Let all including me that has breath praise our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. No matter how I may physically feel You are still seated on the throne and worthy of all praise glory and honor. I shall rejoice knowing one day there will be no more suffering. Hallelujah! Come Lord Jesus come! In Your name I rejoice and praise You, Amen.

Psalm 150:1-4

1 Thessalonians 5:24

He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.
  
Lord, I call out to You. Make haste to me. Give ear to my voice when I cry out to You. Let my prayer be set before You as incense, may the lifting up of my hands be as the evening sacrifice. Set a guard Lord over my mouth; keep watch over the doors of my lips. Do not incline my heart to any evil thing. To practice wicked works with men who work iniquity. Do not let me eat of their delicacies. But let the righteous strike me, it shall be kindness. Let him rebuke me and it shall be excellent oil. Let my head not refuse it. Lord You are faithful and will not let me be tempted beyond what I am able. Thank You that with the temptation You will also make a way of escape, that I may be able to bear it. May I flee from idolatry of all kinds. You do not want us to have fellowship with demons. We can not drink of Your cup and the cup of the fallen angels. I pray we may be confident in that You who have begun a good work in us and will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.  Father I pray for the brethren that Your word may run swiftly and be glorified. May they be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men, for not all have faith. But You my Lord are faithful and will establish and guard them from the evil one. Father direct their hearts into Your love and the patience of Christ. I pray the brethren would withdrawal from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which they have received from You. Father I pray for those who will not work, neither they shall eat. I have heard that their are some in the body that eat bread of idleness, not working at all, but are busybodies causing trouble and division in the church. So Lord may we not grow weary in doing good, noting the person who does not obey You and will not keep company with them. Be with Your children giving them peace in always and every way. Bless You Lord Jesus for Your grace. Amen.

Zechariah 9:9

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey.

Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest! I shall sing and shout, rejoicing with all my heart. You my Lord and God, the mighty One who saves is in our midst. Bless You Lord Jesus for rejoicing over us with gladness and singing. You quiet us with Your love. Bless You Lord for saving the lost now. The people walk in darkness but will see Your great light! I pray Father for those who dwell in the land of the shadow of death, please shine Your light upon them so they may see Your Son's triumphal entry. May we throw down our filthy rags and welcome in the only One who can cleanse our souls. Waving our palms high in the air, worshiping the King of kings and Lord of lords. Father, I am always amazed at the thought of the Messiah, humbling Himself to ride a small donkey. As I look at the mark of the cross on the colt's back a gentle reminder my Savior Jesus Christ is omniscience, omnipresent, and omnipotent over all nature and creation I'm in total awe of Him. Jesus, You calm, transform and change even the wildest of hearts. Lord, I pray for all those who are out of control, unrestrained and running haphazardly to and fro searching for love, peace and joy in the stables of mysticism, drugs and alcohol, prestige and power, financial resources and illicit sexual encounters and various other worldly things. The hope for a fulfilling life can only be found in You Jesus. Please still and hush their anxious hearts so they may hear You calling. May they stop and turn from their ways and find refuge in Your mercy and grace. Lord all glory and honor is Yours forever and ever Amen.

Galatians 6:14

But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Upon my awaking this morning this beautiful hymn plays a lovely melody in my mind. Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in to His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace... Oh Father, what an amazing gift You have given, may all come to believe in Jesus. Your precious Son who is without spot or blemish calling out to You, speaking these loving words as He hung on the cross, "Father forgive them they no not what they do."  It was my sin that held Him there. It would have been just for me to have been punished for my transgressions, but Your beautiful Son Jesus upon my repentance, welcomed me with outstretched arms. How I rejoice knowing I will one day be in paradise with You. Father, my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude and thanksgiving for remembering me and not condemning me to spend eternity in darkness and torment.  I am determined to know Jesus Christ and Him crucified, not putting my faith  in the wisdom of men but in Your power my God and King. Father I pray for You to always lead us in triumph. Diffusing us with the fragrance of knowledge of You in every place that we go. May we always remembering that to those who are being saved we are the aroma of life and to those who are perishing the aroma of death. Father, open the doors of the hearts that are lost so we may share our testimonies and the Gospel so may be received for Your glory. As we walk in this Lord may peace and mercy be upon us. I love You Lord with all my heart. In Your name Jesus I pray, Amen.

Daniel 7:14

Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all people, nations and languages should serve Him. His dominion is everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away. And His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed.

Dear Heavenly Father,
It is so good to sing praises to You, for it is pleasant and beautiful. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. And Your dominion endures throughout all generations. You Lord uphold all who fall, and raise up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look expectantly to You, and You give us our food in due season. You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.  Lord You are gracious and full of compassion. Slow to anger and great in mercy. You Lord are good to all. Your tender mercies are over all Your works. Jesus all authority has been given to You in heaven and on earth. Father, I am not the Christ, but have been instructed by Your Son to go and make disciples of all the nations, and may they be baptized in Your name Father and in the name of Your Son and of the Holy Spirit. May I be used to teach them to observe all the things You have commanded. May I not ceases to give thanks for You Lord, for granting the blessing of the spirit of wisdom, and revelation of the knowledge of You. May the eyes of our understanding be enlightened, that we would know what is the hope of Your calling and what are the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints. May we know the exceeding greatness of Your power towards us who believe according to the working of Your mighty power which You worked when You were raised from the dead. You Lord are seated at the right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principalities and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. All things Jesus are under Your feet, and given to You, to be head over all things, and to the church which is Your body. May we remember that You are with us even to the end of the age. In Your powerful and mighty name Jesus, Amen.

But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice. For I did not come to call the righteous, but the sinner, to repentance.

 Dear Heavenly Father, 
I pray for all to come and return to You. May the people come to their senses and seek to renew their allegiance to You Lord. And You will heal them. Thank You Father, when they truly repent, You are eager to restore Your relationship with them. My hope Lord is for revival. I pray all may live in Your sight. May we pursue the knowledge of You. Lord Your going forth is established as morning and will come to us like a cloudburst. Restoring Your presence to those who turn from their ways. Your blessings shall be like showers that water and refresh. The latter rain causing us to grow and the former rain softening our hearts for plowing and sowing. May we not be like the morning dew that is thick, short lived and quickly fades in the sunlight. May we remain faithful all our days. Jesus You came into the world to save the sinners. You are our deliverer who rescues us from the pit. I praise You Lord Jesus for You are the King eternal, immortal, invisible, and God alone who is wise. All honor and glory are Yours forever and ever. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Watch, stand fast in faith, be brave be strong.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Truly my soul silently waits for You. From You comes my salvation. Lord You are my rock and my defense. I shall not be greatly moved. My expectation is from You. May I trust in You at all times. Father, I pray to be alert, watching therefore I do not know when the day nor the hour will come when Your Son will return. I pray to be wise and have my oil in its vessel and may lamp burning bright. May I be prudent, and faithful like one of the five virgins always having my heart prepared and ready, not slumbering or sleeping. May I stand fast in the gospel which has been declared to me. Father by the power of Your Holy Spirit keeping me strong in the liberty by Christ who made me free, not to be entangled with the yoke of  bondage again. So blessed am I whose transgression is forgiven. For my sin is covered. I will extol You, O Lord for You have lifted me up. How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You. Which You have prepared for those who trust in You in the presence of the sons of men! You shall hide us in the secret place of Your presence. You shall keep us secretly in Your pavilion. Hallelujah! Thank You Lord. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Proverbs 31

Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is more than rubies.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Please lean Your ear to hear my prayer. May the heart of my husband safely trust me. So he will have no lack of gain. May I always do him good and not evil all the days of my life. May I willingly work with my hands. May I be like a merchant ship bringing food, wool and flax that will always provide for my family. May I arise while it is still yet night to prepare meals for them to be nourished on. And an extra portion for those in need. May I consider a field and buy it with the blessings from the works of my hands. May I be girded with Your strength, and by Your Spirit be strengthened in my arms. May my lamp never go out at night as I explore avenues of cottage industry. As my hand holds on to the spindle may I extend my other hand to the poor. Lord I pray to stretch out both hands to the needy. I am not afraid of snow, for my household is clothed with scarlet. Your beautiful gift of salvation. As You help me to make tapestry of friendships, You have clothed me in fine linen and purple. May my husband be know at the gates and sit among the elders of the land. May strength and honor be my clothing as I rejoice in the time to come. When I open my mouth Lord may wisdom pour out, and my tongue speak kindly. Father guide me as I watch over the way of my household, not eating bread of idleness. I pray one day my children will rise up and call me blessed. May my husband also speak words of praise and gratitude. Many daughters Lord have done well but I pray to excel them all. Charm is so deceitful and beauty is fleeting. Oh but Lord a women who fears You she shall be praised. Thank You Lord for all the many blessing and opportunities You have given graciously and abundantly. May I share Your goodness with the generations to come. Praising my Lord Jesus all the day of my life. I love You Lord, Amen.

Romans 15:13

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Thank You Heavenly Father that Your kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. May my good not be spoken of as evil, because I have not chosen the brief satisfaction of my selfish desires but have chosen to seek harmony, and actions that bless others. Always remembering You Jesus became a servant of all, may I do likewise by following Your example. May I be steadfast, immovable in You my Lord knowing my labor is not in vain. Lord, I put my hope in You continually and will praise You yet more and more. My mouths shall tell of Your righteousness and of Your salvation. Thank You Lord for filling me with Your Spirit so others may see the joy and peace You have blessed me with. When the lost and hurting encounter, Your beloved children may they be amazed at the undeniable hope we have in You the Lord of all. Jesus, You are the Word of life, made manifest. You have been seen and have been declared to us so our joy may be full. Use us Lord to declare it to other so they may have fellowship with You. Thank You Jesus that our sins are forgiven us by Your name's sake. May we be aware of the liars who deny that You Jesus are the Christ. May they come to understand whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either. Let know one Lord deceive us, but may we abide in You. Teach us all things which are true. Lord, we have confidence knowing and are not ashamed for You are coming again to reign in glory. Every knee shall bow, and tongue confess You are the Lord. In Your holy and precious name Jesus I pray and give thanks, Amen.

James 1:9

Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation. 

Dear Heavenly Father,
Today I shall not fret because of evildoers. Nor shall I be envious of the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down as grass, and wither like the green herb. I shall trust in You my Lord and do my best to do good. May I dwell in Your land, and feed on Your faithfulness Jesus. May all my delight be in You as I commit my ways to You. I trust in knowing You shall bring all good things to pass. Thank You Lord that You will bring forth Your righteousness as light and justice as noonday. I shall rest in You Jesus, and wait patiently for the blessings of the desires of my heart. How bless we are Lord to know as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, So You our God rejoice over us. Father, I am deeply humbled by this precious thought. I bow my heart and bend my knee in joy and thanksgiving for Your amazing love that You pour out on Your children. You love those who love You, and those who diligently seek You will find Your for sure. Father I stand in awe that You possessed Your Son at the beginning of Your ways. Before the works of old. He has been established from everlasting. From the beginning before there was even an earth. When there was no depth, or fountain abounding of water, even before the mountains where settled. Or the hills brought forth. When the heavens where prepared Jesus, You where there. Father how great to know when You drew the circle on the face of the deep, and established the clouds above, and assigned the sea its limits, so the water would not transgress Your command, Jesus was there. Jesus daily You are the Fathers delight, rejoicing before Him. Father I pray for Your children to humble themselves and listen to You. Inheriting the promise of blessed are those who keep Your ways. May we hear Your instruction and be wise. Who ever finds You Lord finds life and obtain favor from You gracious outstretched hand. Thank You Jesus for first loving me. In Your precious name I give You glory, honor and praise. Amen.

1 Timothy 2:9

...in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing.

How lovely is Your tabernacle, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, yes, even faints. For the courts of You my Lord; My heart and flesh cry out for You the living God. Father, I pray for the young and old ladies of the world because they are haughty and walk with outstretched necks and wanton eyes. They are lost walking around mincing as the go. I pray Lord, they would see themselves as You see them as lovely, precious and of great value. May they find rest from their pretense and flagrant displays trying to be noticed and loved. May they come to understand there is more to the depth of who they are then headdress, leg ornaments, jingling anklets, scarves, bracelets, rings and charms. Father Your daughters put on outer garments and look to the reflection in the mirror for validation. Never seeing the light of Your adoring embrace. My heart is so sad to see my sister trying to cover their shame and regrets with fine linens instead of standing naked before the lover of their souls. Sweet Jesus may Your mercy and grace fall on them transforming them into beautiful women of godly character, sound judgement and self-control. May Your daughters rejoice because they are fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, You never make a mistake and have hand crafted each and every one. May our souls know so well that our frames were not hidden from You, when we were made in the secret place. How precious are Your thoughts towards us, O God. How great is the sum of them! If we were to count them, they would be more than the numbers of grains of sand.  Search us Lord and know our hearts. Try us and see if there is any wicked way in us so we will turn from it and be free from all anxieties. Lead us Lord in Your ways that are everlasting. I love You Jesus and ask this in Your name. Amen

Galatians 2:21

"I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain."

Dear Holy Father,
I did not receive Your Spirit by the works of the law, but by faith. Lord, I pray for your children who have begun in the Spirit and are now trying to be made perfect by their flesh. I rejoice knowing that I have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer I who lives but You who lives in me. May those who are acting foolishly lacking wisdom quickly recall the gospel of Your Sons crucifixion. Remembering that faith comes by hearing and the hearing of Your word. May we rest today in the truth we cannot achieve perfection through our own efforts, but by Your grace through the resurrection power. May we behold the manner of love that You our Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! And now that we are Your children and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, we know when Your Son is revealed we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. Lord thank You that everyone who has this hope will purify themselves, just as You are pure. Thank You Lord that we can come to You at any time confessing our transgressions and You are quick to forgive us. Restoring us to favor by Your grace and we do not have to run around trying to earn our way back to You. Jesus, You spoke the greatest words from the cross, "It is finish." and this was not done in vain. Bless You Jesus for overcoming sin and death, rising in victory over the grave. Bless You for the greatest gift ever given, may we always remember giving thanks and praise. I pray for those who have not met You yet may they be drawn to You, to be given a new life hidden in You. No longer loving the things of the world but loving You the Creator of all things. I love You Lord and in Your mighty name Jesus I pray. Amen.

Galatians 2 and 3, 1 John 3:1-9

2 Corinthians 11:1

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Oh my heart is heavy today. The world around me is infiltrated with those who advocate unbiblical ideas. Many who teach falsehoods appear to be very sincere. But Father they are leading Your children astray. These attractive hucksters who tickle the itching ears for their own profit and personal gain must be exposed so Your people will not fall into a trap. Your word urges us in Romans 16 to note those who cause division and offenses, contrary to the doctrine we have learned and avoid them. For they do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own bellies, by smooth words and flattering speech deceiving the hearts of the simple. Father I pray to not be a men pleaser, but to be a bond servant of Christ. Open our eyes to be aware of  evil workers who are disguised as ministers of righteousness. Understanding that satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Father, my heart is concerned for those who have not heard the saving truth of the Gospel. Please Lord open their ears to hear of Your mercy and grace You so lovingly poured out on the cross and the power of the resurrection. May many surrender their hearts and wills in to Your hands. May they be cleansed from all unrighteousness, becoming new creations. Jesus be glorified in the lives of those who call upon Your name for they shall be saved. Father cleanse Your church, purify us from all filthiness. So we may be Your beloved bride. May we return to You our first love. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Acts 8:20

But Peter said to him, "Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money!"

Dear Heavenly Father,
Many years ago my heart was not right either. Thinking I could earn Your love with acts of service, financial offerings, and striving to live perfectly. I thought that in this way You would be please and accept me in to Your kingdom. But this is just wickedness in Your sight, an exalting of myself above Your amazing grace. I was poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity until the day I repented and my heart was forgiven by You. I bless the day my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared for all people. A Light to bring revelation to the gentiles and the glory of Your people Israel. I ask blessings Lord for all those who fervently prayed for me as I was lost in the ways of the world. I thank You Lord that I may now testify and teach others Your word. To watch others be set free, for whom the Son set free is free indeed. Through Him Father You have granted that we would be delivered from the hands of our enemies, so we may serve You with out fear, in holiness and righteousness all the days of our lives. I pray Lord for the day that there will be nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be know. Whatever Lord You tell me in the dark, I shall speak in the light, and what I hear in my ear I shall preach on the housetops. Thank You Lord Jesus that I shall not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But Lord to have reverence for You who is able to destroy both body and soul in hell. I pray to confess You before men and thank You Jesus that You will acknowledge me before our Father in heaven. I pray Lord for mercy on the souls that deny You before men, for You will deny them. Lord I pray this will be the day of their salvation and there will be much rejoicing as sinners come home. In Your beautiful and loving name, the name above all names Jesus, Amen.

Acts 8:21-24, Luke 2:29-32 and Matthew 10:26-28

Luke 6:43

For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

Dear Heavenly Father,
May I live in the way of the righteous and not walk in the counsel of the ungodly. To be in the world but not be affected by the world. I desire not to sit in the seat of the scornful, but delight myself in You my Lord. May I meditate on Your word night and day, so I may be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season. May my leaf not wither and what ever I do be productive and useful. Father I pray for others to understand that good works are definitely not the root of salvation, but they surely are the fruit of salvation. Lord I pray blessings for all the seeds of Your word that have fallen on the good ground of those who have heard it with a noble and good heart, may they keep it and bear fruit with patience. Lord by wisdom of the Holy Spirit within Your people may there be an increase of discernment that will guide us away from those who bear bad fruit. Not tasting their bitterness, hatred, anger, jealousy, lewdness, unrest, wickedness, rudeness or their lack of self control. May we pursue peace with all people and holiness, without which no one will see You. May our eyes look carefully lest anyone fall short of Your grace. May we not allow any root of bitterness to spring up causing trouble, and defiling many. Father, may all those who walk in Your ways and do Your will continue to blossom in all areas of their lives. Enjoying the blessings only You can give. Father, may the fruit of love, joy and peace feed the lost and hurting, nourishing them in the sweetness of the truth of Your Gospel, bringing glory to Your precious and beautiful Son the first fruit. Thank You Lord for You have pour out Your cup, and  I have tasted of Your goodness. I love You Jesus, in You name I pray, Amen.

Psalm 1:1-3, Luke 8:15 and Hebrews 12:14&15 

1 Thessalonians 2:13

For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.

Dear Heavenly Father,
May I make a joyful shout to You. Serving You with gladness. May I come before Your presence with singing. Knowing with all my heart my Lord is God! It is You that has made me and not me who made myself. I am a wee sheep of Your pasture. May I enter Your gates with thanksgiving for all those who have received Your word. Standing in awe of all those who have not been consumed with worry about what they should speak, but trusted You when the time came to share they would know exactly what to say to share Your Gospel.  Lord I pray for the same confidence knowing when I speak the truth it is not me but the Spirit of my Father who speaks. Lord I praise You for all the seeds that have been sown on good ground, received and accepted and now bear fruit some thirty fold, some sixty and some a hundred. Thank You Lord for the day You opened my heart to hear Your Spirit whispering the truth that set me free. I thank You Lord for continuing to work in all those who believe. Bless them Lord for their faithfulness in serving You. Protect them, and keep them growing strong in Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Blessed be our God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.  Father, You chose us in Your Son before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Jesus in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons according to Your good pleasure. May we praise You for the glory of Your grace that You have made us accepted in Your Beloved. Thank You Father for the Helper, the Holy Spirit who You sent in the name of Jesus who will teach us all things, and bring to remembrance all things that You have said to us. Your peace Jesus You have given to us, not as the world gives. Telling us not to let our hearts be troubled or let it be afraid. Bless You Jesus for these things that You so lovingly spoken so we may have peace. Even though in this world we have tribulations we shall be of good cheer for You have overcome the world. Lord I pray for my brother and sisters, You would grant them according to Your riches and of Your glory to be strengthened with might through Your Holy Spirit in the inner man as You dwell in our hearts. Through faith we will be rooted and grounded in love, and be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width, length, depth and height of Your love which passes all knowledge, so we may be filled with all Your fullness. Thank You Lord that we are fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of Your promises through the You in the Gospel. Jesus be glorified in and through Your body the church today. In Your mighty name Jesus, Amen.

Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray to let my soul delight itself in Your abundance. By Your gracious gift given through Your Son Jesus, You have made an everlasting covenant with all those who repent and  believe. Lord I believe! I pray for the lost of this world, may they seek You and find You. Then they shall go out with joy and be led by peace. Oh Father, blessed are those who look for You, those who lay hold of the truth and never let go. They shall turn from doing evil and live to do what is good. Thank You Lord that You have loved us with an everlasting love. Drawing us with Your loving kindness. Father I rejoice for as we seek You all our adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity. Those who have plundered Your children Lord shall become plunder. Thank You Lord for the protection from those who prey on the pure of heart may You will make them prey.  Lord as we seek You, You will restore our health and heal all our wounds. Bless You Jesus for You are coming quickly and Your reward is with You to give to everyone according to his work. I love You Lord, You are the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. Blessed are those who keep Your commandments that they may have the right to the tree of life and enter through the gates of the city. But Lord my heart prays for the dogs, sorcerers, sexually immoral, murders, idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie, may their hearts be turned and seek You while You may be found. Lord have mercy on their souls. In the beautiful, precious, holy and mighty powerful name of Jesus. Amen.

The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king of Jerusalem.

Dear Lord God Almighty,
I pray may all Your children hear Your instructions Father. Giving our attention to know understanding. You Lord have given us a good doctrine. I pray we will not forsake You.  Lord Jesus You have instructed us to allow our hearts to retain Your words. To keep Your commands and live. We should get wisdom and get understanding. I pray we will not forget, nor turn away from the words of Your mouth. If we do not forsake wisdom, it will preserve us, for it is a principal thing that will keep us. Thank You Lord that Your wisdom will bring honor when we embrace it. Placing on our heads an ornament of grace, and a crown of glory that we will one day have to lay at Your feet. Thank You Lord for the blessings that come when we receive Your wisdom. Many years will be added to our lives. Jesus thank you for leading us in the right path, so our walk will not be hindered, and when we run, we will not stumble. I pray for Your children to take hold of instruction and not let go. May we keep from the path of the wicked and not walk in the way of evil. Avoiding it and not traveling with it. May we have the strength to turn away from it and pass on. Father have mercy on those who do not sleep unless they do mischief, and make someone else fall. Have mercy on those who eat the bread of wickedness, and drink wine of violence. Open their hearts to take in Your light and love, to walk justly with You our Savior who shines brightly unto the perfect day. Lord I pray we will give attention to Your word as we incline our ears to all You are saying. Not letting Your goodness depart from our eyes. Keeping You in the midst of our hearts for You Jesus are life to all that seek and find You. Your wisdom Lord is health to our flesh and out of it springs the issues of life. May we put away all deceit from our mouths and put all perverse speaking from our lips. I pray Lord our eyes will look straight ahead. As we surrender all may You establish our ways so we do not turn from the right to the left. Thank You Lord Jesus for removing evil from our feet. In Your beautiful and mighty name Jesus I pray, Amen.

Proverbs 4 1:27

Luke 6:45

A good man out of the good treasures of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasures of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Dear Holy Father,
My heart overflows with a good theme. I recite my composition concerning the King, sharing my testimony with all who will listen. My tongue is a pen of a ready writer. Your throne, O God is forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You love righteousness and hate wickedness. Cleanse me my heart from the things that are not pleasing to You. May I listen to You and incline my ear, forgetting the things of the past, and the wrongs of my heritage. May I rest knowing You reside in the midst of me, and I shall not be moved. I pray that all will behold the works of my Lord and all You have done within me. Jesus Your mighty transforming power has created me new. By Your grace I am not only robe in a beautiful new garment, but my soul has been rinsed and cleansed as well. It sometimes hard to imaging a love so powerful that it will remove even the tough of stains on a person life, but oh glory there is nothing truer than the amazing love of my Lord Jesus, the Messiah. You are the one who shed His blood to cleanse us to stand before Our Holy Father. May this knowledge of Your goodness pour forth from our lips, bring with it hope for those who have been ensnared by wickedness. May Your body the church continually pour out treasures of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness revealing us as faithful and self-controlled. Let us bring forth from our hearts all that is good, helping others in their hour of need whether in sickness, poverty, abandonment, or anguish. Father I pray for those who are constantly doing works that are foul, dishonorable, corrupt, nasty or mischievous may they taste and see You are good and may they no longer be satisfied with revenge, rebellion or rage. Thank You Lord for loving the sinners. In Your beautiful name Jesus, Amen.

Luke 7:45

You gave Me no kiss, but this women has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in.

My Dear Beloved Jesus,
Bless You my Lord and Savior, for You have forgiven my sins. Because there have been many and You freely forgave me, I love You very much. I heard Your voice and behold You came. Leaping on the mountains of my wrong choices, skipping on the hills of my regret. You stood behind the walls I build around me, looking into the window of my heart. As You gazed through the lattice Your light shined brightly through and I could see in the darkness. Lord Jesus, You spoke to me and said; rise up, my love, my fair one and come away with me. For lo the winter has passed, the rain is over and gone. Flowers have appeared and the time of singing has come. The voice of the turtledove is heard by my uncluttered mind. The fig tree puts forth her green fig and so it shall be I will bear fruit as well. The vines with it tender grapes give a good smell, I pray Lord my love for You is a sweet smelling aroma. I rejoice Jesus for You have set me as a seal upon Your heart, a seal upon Your arm. Your love is stronger than death. Its flames are flames of fire, many waters cannot quench Your amazing love. Father I pray to honor You Son all the days of my life, never ceasing to kiss His feet. May those kisses be expressed by honoring my spouse, raising Godly children, opening my home to strangers, washing the feet of Your saints, caring for the afflicted, and diligently pursuing every good work. May I not be idle, or wandering about from house to house as a busybody. Keeping my tongue from gossip, and saying things I ought not. May I praise You from early morning to late night. Never letting the gratitude in my heart wane, always remembering the miry pit You lifted me from. I love You Lord Jesus and pray for opportunities to share the great and glorious things You have done in and through me. In Your precious name, Amen.

May those in heaven praise You in the highest heights. Praise the Lord all You angels and His hosts! Lord God You have made a decree that shall not pass away.

Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

Good Morning Lord,
I shall make a joyful shout to You, with all the earth. Singing out the honor of You name, Make glorious praises to You for Your works are awesome! Lord by the greatness of Your power Your enemies will submit themselves to You. All the earth will worship and sing praises to You. Father I pray we will say to those around us "Come and see the work of God, He is awesome in His doing towards His children." May all come to understand it is You who has formed us, we should fear not, for You will redeem those You have called by name. You have said "You are Mine."  May we speak words of encouragement and reminders of Your promises that when we pass through the waters You will be with us. When we walk through the fiery trials of life we shall not be burned, nor be scorched for the Lord our God is with us where ever we go. Thank You Lord for giving us Your Son the Holy One of Israel as our ransom and Savior. Let us remind those who need to be comforted, You love them with and everlasting love. May they not be fainthearted but hear the words of our testimony that will uphold and give courage to those who are weak. Father I pray we would have boldness to warn the brethren who are unruly, seeing that no one renders evil for evil, but that we all remember to pursue what is good both for ourselves and for all, so You may be glorified in and through us. Lord God of peace I pray You will sanctify my brothers and sisters completely so their whole spirits, souls and bodies be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, You are faithful and will do it. Thank You Lord for leaning You ear to hear the desires of my heart, in Your precious name, Amen.

1 Corinthians 16:14

Let all that you do be done with love.

Dear Jesus,
As the Father has loved You, You also have loved me. I pray to abide in Your love forever. Just as You have obeyed the Father's commandments, I pray to keep Your commandment to love one another as You have loved us. There is no greater love that this, then to lay down one's life for his friends. Thank You Jesus for the cross. Bless You Lord for You no longer call us servants, You have called us friend. By Your Spirit You have purified our souls as we believe in the truth. May our love for the brethren be sincere and with a pure heart. Loving them fervently because we have been born again not by corruptible seed but by incorruptible through the word of our God which lives and abides forever. May the love we have for one another cover a multitude of wrongs as we graciously forgive without grumbling, murmuring or complaining. But through kindness that has been taught to us by You our Lord and Savior restoring each and every relationship to peace. Father I pray by Your Spirit we would be hospitable to each other, not being busybodies in our neighbor's matters. Let us not love in word or tongue but in deed and truth remembering that we are Your children. May all the world know we are Yours because we genuinely love our brothers. Let us not be found saying yes, I love God but we hate our families. Let no one call us liars for love has been perfected among us in You our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray we live by Your example and when asked what is the reason for our hope may our response be He has risen, Emmanuel is with us. I love You Lord. In Your name Jesus I pray, Amen.

"Therefore the Son of Man is also the Lord of the Sabbath."

Good Morning Rabboni,
Bless You Lord for giving and leaving Your peace with me so all is well with my soul. In You Jesus I find rest. I pray Lord to not sow my love for You sparingly but to give it with joy. May the blessings flow in abundance for every good work. You Lord God love a cheerful giver. Father I pray as we love and serve You with all our heart, minds, souls and strength, we would remember Jesus words "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." Let us take time for refreshing by sitting at Your feet one day a week, thinking upon nothing of this world and it endless pressures but on You the lover of our souls. Jesus You are the one who is where we find rest for our weary minds, aching bodies and troubled hearts. Restore Your children to vitality as they wait upon You. Have we not know? Have we not heard? You are the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth. You never faint or grow weary. Your understanding is unsearchable. You give power to the weak, and to those who have no might You increase strength. The youths shall faint and be weary, and even the young men shall utterly fall, but for those who wait on You Lord, shall renew their strength. You will mount them up on wings of eagles and they shall soar. Running and not be exhausted, walking and not faint. In You Lord Jesus the people are renewed in power. Let our heart not be hardened but obedient to Your words that are blessings of the greatest kind. I love You Lord and thank You for Your wisdom and understanding given by the Counselor Your Spirit and the opening of ears to hear. In Jesus name I pray Amen.

The fruit of righteousness is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.
  
Dear Heavenly Father,
How gracious and loving a Father You are, to promise when the time of trouble comes, like it has never been seen before Your people shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the Lambs book. Lord many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake to everlasting. I pray Your children will be wise and spread the good news so they shall shine like the brightness of the firmament. And may those who turn many to righteousness shine like stars forever and ever. Father I pray by the power of Your Spirit You would sharpen our eyes to notice any of our brethren who may be wandering from the truth, for a backslider in his heart will be filled with his own ways. Grant us the words and boldness to turn them back to You.  Let us be glad for those who have turned a sinner from the error of their ways, and saved a soul. Thank You for Your love that covers a multitude of sins. Thank You Jesus for in Your fullness we have received grace for grace. Father, we rejoice for the true witness who delivers souls, returning them to what is good so they will be satisfied from above. I pray You would keep the deceitful witness from speaking lies that lead to death. May we warn the wicked they shall die in their iniquity, but with a cleansing of their heart by the precious blood of Your beautiful Son they too can be delivered from death. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away and behold all things have become new. Father empower Your children to work in the ministry of reconciliation so we may spend our time here wisely. May all glory and honor be Your Jesus forever and ever. Amen.

Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

Oh, Father how hope deferred makes the heart sick. I pray Lord for those of us who have unfulfilled longings, when we are waiting for our deepest hopes to be realized, it can cause us to be despondent, and desperate. May we not get lost in the quest for relief from disappointment and be tempted to manipulate and demand satisfaction according to our timetable. I pray we will hold on to the dream You have places in our hearts and not settle for much less than the best that You have planned for us. Only You Lord see the entire picture and only You Lord have the power to fulfill the desires of our hearts. May we learn that what ever state we are in to be content. I pray we will know how to be abased, and how to abound, in everything and in all things to learn to be both full and to be hungry, to succeed and to suffer, remembering we can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens us. Father I pray we flee from foolishness, harmful lusts, and the desire for riches that tempt and snare us leading us to stray from the faith. I pray we will be men and women of God, fleeing from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, love, patience, and gentleness. May we fight the good fight of faith laying hold of eternal life, to which we are called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. May we keep the commandment to love You with all our hearts, minds, soul and strength with out spot, and blameless until Your appearing.  Jesus, You are the King of kings and Lord of lords. Father it is so good that our hearts be established by Your grace so we may be content with what we have. Rejoicing that You will never leave or nor forsake us. Thank You Lord for loving us and may You know that from the depths of our hearts we love You too. In Jesus precious name I pray. Amen.

John 10:14

I am the good Shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I come before You in thanksgiving for giving us Your Son. He feeds His flock like a Shepherd. He gathers the lambs with His arm, and carries them in His bosom. He gently leads those who are with young. Yes, You Lord Jesus are my Shepherd. With You I have no other want. You make me to lie down in green pastures, that are beside still waters. You Lord Jesus have restored my soul. And continually lead me in the path of righteousness, for Your name sake. There have been times I have walk though troubled and shadowed valleys. But with You I fear no evil, because You are always with me. Your rod and Your staff Lord they comfort me. How I am amazed that You have prepared a table for me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed my head with oil that has caused my cup to run over. How bless I am to know Your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. And one day I will dwell in Your house forever. Lord I pray for the little lost sheep that have gone astray, scoop them up in Your loving arms, forgiving them for their wandering off. Lord Jesus I pray for those who have fallen and are wounded, lift them up and place them upon Your strong shoulders so as You carry them they will hear Your gentle voice ministering in their ears. Thank You Lord that You always have time to listen to those who need to talk. As they sit with You by the calm water may it be just the remedy needed to heal and restore their broken hearts. Lord bless You for anointing Your wee lambs to serve You. Bless them for their obedience to answer the call. Lord thank You for choosing me to be part of Your flock. May there be a great increase to the herd, so heaven will one day be filled with ewes that love You. Thank You Lord for leaning Your ear to hear my prayers. In Your name Jesus, the great I am, Amen.

Isaiah 40:11, Psalm 23

Isaiah 28:12

To whom He said, "This is the rest with which You may cause the weary to rest." Yet they would not hear.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Gracious are You Lord, and righteous. Yes, Lord You are merciful. You preserve the simple. I was brought low and You saved me. O my soul has returned to Your rest for You have dealt bountifully me. For You Lord have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears and my feet from falling. I love You Lord Jesus, You have heard my voice and my supplications. Thank you for inclining Your ear to me. Thank You bending from Your place of glory to meet the needs of Your people. Father, thank You for Your mercy upon those who are returning and seeking peace. May they stand in Your ways and see the old paths are good. May they walk in it and find rest for their souls. In quietness and confidence You shall be their strength. Thank You Lord that You will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers.  I pray for those who are living sumptuously every day, may You open their eyes to see their need for a Savior. It is not with generosity of money or care for the poor that will grant them a place in heaven, but repentance of the heart, and the realization of the need for Your forgiveness because of our sinful nature.  Father You have fixed a great divide between heaven and hell, that no one can pass from one to another. I pray Lord You will open their eyes, soften their hearts before it is to late, and they land in a place of torment, begging for someone to wet and cool their tongues. Lord Jesus You have said "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden light."  Thank You Jesus for the gift. In Your precious name I pray, Amen.

Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, "Take away the filthy garments from him." And to him He said, "See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes."
  
Dear Lord God Almighty,
I will greatly rejoice in You, my Lord. My soul shall be joyful in You my God. For You have clothed me with the garments of salvation, and covered me with the robe of righteousness. As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with jewels. Oh Father what a beautiful image of Your mercy and grace, Jesus' sacrifice on the cross covering our sins, clothing us in new garments that we may continually praise and give thanks. Father I pray for all those who are living lives of ruin, may they rise up from former desolation to repair and rebuild because they have heard the good news of Salvation through Your One and only Son Christ Jesus, who liberates the captives so they may turn from their ways and embrace Your love. I pray Lord for boldness of Your children so they may preach good tidings to the poor, and be used to heal the brokenhearted. Father by the power of Your Holy Spirit grant us the courage to open the prison doors of those who are bound up in iniquity. I pray Lord for Your Holy Spirit to comfort those who mourn and give them beauty for ashes. Father I pray for those who waste precious time regretting and reliving past mistakes, lies spoken, acts of adultery, worshiping of false gods, or stealing from loved ones, may they be open to receive Your forgiveness by confessing and nailing to the cross those transgression. May they come to know the power of Jesus' loving sacrifice, and keep Him hanging there no longer. Father, thank You for given us Your Son as ransom to pay our sin debt, for raising Him from the dead and blessing us with everlasting life. Jesus if I haven't said it yet today, I love you with all my heart, and all that I have is Yours. In Your most precious an holy name I pray, Amen.

When you lie down, you will not be afraid; Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.

Dear Heavenly Father, 
Thank You for the blessing of sound wisdom and discretion. They are life to my soul and grace to my neck. They keep me walking safely in Your ways. Making me to feel secure that my foot will not stumble. You have taught me, happy are those who find wisdom and gains understanding for they have found a priceless treasure. Father I have been so blessed by walking in Your good and perfect will that when I lay my head down on my pillow in the evening hour my sleep is so sweet. I pray Lord for all to trust You with their whole hearts, leaning not on their own understanding. May they be blessed with lying down and not being afraid. In all our ways may we acknowledge You. Thank You Father that in doing so You will add length and peace to our days, along with finding favor and high esteem in Your sight and the sight of man. Thank You Lord for restful restorative sleep for all those who seek Your face, and bless Your Holy name Jesus, Amen.

Proverbs 3

James 1:27

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted in the world.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I will love You, O Lord, my strength. You are my rock, fortress and deliverer. I call out to You on behalf of the widows and orphans for You to save them. You have delivered me because You delight in me, how much more Lord will You give to the abandoned and neglected outcast. May we show mercy as You have been merciful. May we continue to learn to do good, seek justice, rebuke those who oppress, defend the fatherless, and always remember to plead for the widow. Father when Your beautiful Son Jesus returns with the holy angels to sit on the throne of glory, may we be the sheep that He will set at His right hand. Because we have been found giving food to the hungry, drink to those who thirst, a place to stay for the stranger, clothes to the naked, visiting the sick and those in prison.  May our love Lord for the widow and orphans be without hypocrisy, regarding with disgust that which is evil and clinging to what is good. I pray Lord we would be kindly affectionate to those in need with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to them. May we not lag in diligence, but be fervent in spirit as though we are serving You. Father I ask a special blessing on those who have dedicated their lives for the welfare of others. Those who have given of themselves to build homes for the homeless, cook food in shelters for those who are starving, and those who daily care for the elderly. Hear their prayers and petitions Lord, come quickly to their call and bless them with more than they could hope, think or imagine. Lord, I pray Your Light shines brightly through Your precious children who serve night and day, for all the world to see that You are the the great I AM, and the reason for our hope. I love You Lord and bless Your Holy name Jesus. Amen.

And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

Good Morning Lord,
Let this be my prayer...
Psalm 34
The Happiness of those who Trust in the God
I will bless You Lord at all times; 
Your praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make boast of You, dear Lord;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.
I sought You Lord, and You heard me, 
And delivered me from all my fears.
I looked upon You Jesus and was radiant,
And my face was not ashamed.
I was poor and cried out, and You Lord heard me, 
And saved me out of all my troubles.
Your angel encamps all around those who fear You,
And delivers them.
Oh, I have tasted and seen that You Lord are good,
Blessed am I who trust in You Jesus!
Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints!
There is no want to those who fear You.
The young loins lack and suffer hunger; 
But those who seek You Lord shall not lack any good thing,
Come, you children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Who is the one who desires life,
And loves many days, that they may see good?
Keep our tongues from evil,
And our lips from speaking deceit.
We shall depart from evil and do good;
Seeking peace and pursing it.
Your eyes Lord are on the righteous,
And You ears are open to their cry.
Your face Lord is against those who do evil,
To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
The righteous cry out, and You Lord hear,
And deliver us out of all our troubles.
You Lord Jesus are near to those who have a broken and contrite spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But You Lord deliver us out of them all.
You guard all Your bones; 
Not one of them is broken.
Evil shall slay the wicked, 
And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
You Lord God Almighty redeem the souls of Your servants,
And not of those who trust in You shall be condemned.
Thank You Jesus,
For Your mercy and grace.
I love You,
Amen.

1 Thessalonians 4:11

...that you will aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your hands, as we commanded you. 

Dear Heavenly Father,
Lord I come and put my simple trust in You. I pray that my heart may not be haughty, nor my eyes lofty. May I not get caught up or concern myself with great matters, nor with things to profound for me. Your Holy Spirit has surely calmed and quieted my soul.  Father I pray to aspire to lead a peaceful, untroubled life resting in Your arms. Keep the gossipers, backbiters, whispers and busybodies from my door. By the power of Your Spirit, please run interference for us, heading off any who desire to see me or my faithful brothers and sisters fall into unpleasing transgressions. Father cleanse those in Your body that walk among us that are disorderly, not working at what is good and acceptable service to You. I shutter at Your word that places a murder, a thief, an evil doer in the same sentence as a busybody. Father may there be a revelation of Your heart that sees meddling in others business as serious an offense as murder or stealing. Forgive me Lord for when I was young I acted as a child but now that I'm older I put my childish ways away. Seeking to keep my hands busy so my work is pleasing to You. Lord may we not neglect the gifts given us by prophecy and the laying on of hands, but meditate on these things and give ourselves entirely to them. So all glory and honor will be Yours forever and ever. May Jesus reign in me now and always. Thank You Lord for hearing my prayers and the prayers of Your children. I love You Lord, Amen.

Mark 6:2

And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, "Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands!"

Good morning, Father, I awake with thanksgiving. I bless You for opening my heart to receive Jesus as my Savior. But oh, how sad that there are still so many today, as there were in years gone by, who reject Your Son or reduce Him down to just a prophet. But You have dealt well with Your servant, according to Your word. I pray You continue to teach me good judgement and knowledge, for I believe in Your Son and desire to follow Your commandments. Before I was afflicted and went astray. But now I keep Your word. You are good and do good. Teach me Your ways. I delight in You; may I learn Your wisdom. The words of Your mouth are better to me than a thousand coins of silver and gold. Lord, I pray that You would grant Your children boldness to share the Gospel. Many may perceive us to be uneducated and untrained just as they did Peter and John but by Your Spirit, they will realize that we spend much time with You and know You as a true and intimate friend. Open the hearts and draw many to Your loving side. Not letting them perish but blessing them with everlasting life. Lord every day I'm more astonished by You and Your goodness. I rise in the morning to the wonders of a new day to see the mighty works in which You so lovingly perform. Wow! Lord, Wow! I love and adore You, In Your name Jesus I pray. Amen.

Zechariah 1:3

Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord of hosts: "Return to Me," says the Lord of hosts," and I will return to you," says the Lord of hosts.

Oh Lord You have formed me and fashioned me to be Your servant. You have not forgotten any of those You have called. You have blotted out, like a thick cloud our transgressions, and like a cloud our sins. You are calling for those who have strayed to return to You, for You have redeemed. Sing O, heavens, for the Lord has done it! Shout, you lower parts of the earth; break forth in to singing you mountains, O forest, and every tree in it! Let all the earth mirror the joy of God's people at the arrival of salvation. For the Lord has redeemed and glorified Himself. Bless You Jesus. Father I lift up the prodigal children that have wonder off, squandering all they have been given, and have realized their deep need for Your mercy and grace. Father I thank You that as they humble themselves to ask forgiveness, You already have seen them coming from afar off and having compassion on them, running to them scooping them up in Your loving arms. Jesus You are the Good Shepherd who pursues the lost sheep in the wilderness and when You have found them You declare for us to rejoice with You and the heavens. How gracious and loving You are to lavish Your love on the repent sinner. Giving them the best robe, a ring on their finger, and new sandals on their feet. Lord I pray we will all submit to You. Resisting the devil so he will flee from us. As we draw near to You Lord God, You will draw near to us. Cleansing our hands for we are sinners, and purify our hearts because we are double-minded. Father we fall on our faces before You lamenting and weeping, Father lift us up. Thank You Lord for giving grace to the humble and remembering Your promises. I love You Jesus, Amen.

Isaiah 44:21-23, Luke 15, and James 4:7-10

2 Corinthians 13:5

Examine yourself as to whether you are in faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know that Jesus Christ is in you?

Dear Holy Father,
Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me. Lead me in the way everlasting. Lord shed light on any area of darkness in my heart and the hearts of fellow believers. Since we have Your promises, our Beloved Savior let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in fear and reverence of You our God. Lord You have said "Come out from among them and be separate. Do not touch what is unclean and I will be a Father to You and You shall be my sons and daughters." To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are unbelieving nothing is pure. Even their mind and conscience are defiled. May we not profess Lord to know You but in our works deny You. Father by Your Spirit may we be empowered to lead pure lives. Remembering it is not physical objects or external practices that defiles us but what our minds are focused on that will corrupt us. Lord I pray for all those who are facing various trails and challenges to stop and seek You and Your truth. I pray that in doing so You would grant wisdom, understanding, peace, and discernment. Jesus You are the way the truth and life, may we rest knowing that You live within us and are our ever present help in time of need. Thank You Lord for Your mercy and grace. May we continue to stand strong in faith so all the world will know You are the reason for our hope. I love You. In Your name Jesus, Amen.

Psalm 139:23-24, 2 Corinthians 7:1 and Titus 1:15

Luke 19:3

And he sought to see who Jesus was but could not because he was of short stature. 

Dear Heavenly Father,
O God, You are my God; early I will seek You. My soul thirsts for You; and my flesh longs for You. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life. My lips shall praise You. I shall bless You while I live. I will lift my hands in Your name. Father, I pray for those who are curious to know who Your Son is and why You so lovingly sent Him to atone for our sins. Father they may have a limited or obstructed view of the truth so I pray You will elevate them among the crowds of confusion of this world to see You clearly. Father, You have promised those who seek the Lord with their whole heart and with all their soul they will find You. Lord Jesus, You love those who love You and those who diligently look for You. I pray for our nation to turn to You and seek not our own glory because that is not glory at all, just as it is not good to eat too much honey so has going after our own fame made us weak and sick. How we long to hear You say as You said to Zacchaeus make haste and come down for today, I must stay at Your house. Lord we have strayed, wandering from idea to idea, from devises to devises, running to and fro seeking answers to questions where we go from here in all the wrong places, all the while leaving You outside the doors of this nation. Come Lord Jesus be with us, stay with us, we are desperate for You! As we make haste and come down from our high and lofty places hear our heart cry out to You asking for forgiveness. We long to hear You say the Son of Man has come to seek and save that which is lost, today salvation has come. Thank You Lord for as we put our hope and trust in Your ways that are higher and better our souls shall be satisfied with marrow and fatness, and our mouths shall praise You with joyful lips. Lord Jesus, I love You, Amen.
