John 8:12
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."

Dear Holy Father,
Bless You for the gift of the physical sun that gives us day, causes the plants to grow bearing fruits for us to be nourished with. Bless You Father for the gift of Your one and only Son Jesus who is the spiritual light of the world. The giver of sight and the one who exposes sin. Lord search me, and know my heart, try me, and know my anxieties, and see if there is any wicked ways in me. Lord lead me in the way of the everlasting. Forgive me Father as I acknowledge my sin to You and my iniquity so it is not hidden. I confess Lord that at times I'm not obedient to Your Word, and I'm running off doing things my way. This has led me to kiss the darkness and stunts my vitality turning it into the drought of the summer. But Your graciousness Oh God, has said "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, who's sin is covered in the precious blood of Jesus." How great You are and greatly to be praised.  Let my heart remember that there is no want in to those who fear You. The young lions lack and suffer hunger, but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. Father, I pray that all will come to You through the Light of the world, to never walk in darkness again. But to be drawn near to Your radiant beauty, that warms the tired and weary soul that has run long and far on it's own. Restore my brothers and sisters to the joy of their salvation, upholding them with Your gracious Spirit. I pray Lord that all in Your household would be filled with Your goodness by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Let God arise in the darkness of our lives, illuminating the blessings You have so lovingly bestowed upon us. May we see Your brilliance with pure hearts and eyes. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

John 8:12
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."

Dear Heavenly Father,
I'm among the people who have walked in darkness and have seen a great light. One who has dwelt in the land of the shadow of death but upon me a light has shined! Father God, it is You who commanded light to shine out of the darkness, the One who has shone in my heart given me the light of knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. My heart filled with gratitude for the spliting open of the opaque curtain that kept me from seeing Your true beauty. How magnificent Your dazzling love is. I pray Lord that many will see the light that shines forth from Your mercy. May they be drawn to You in great numbers, adding daily to the Lambs book of life. Jesus, just as You called out Lazarus from the deep dark,cold closed up tomb, restoring him to life by shining Your mercy and grace forth, may You call out many others. They are lifeless in the darkness of bad choices, regret, fear and shame. Lord they are in need of a Savior, and You Jesus are He, the great I Am. Lord I pray they take one step at a time walking towards the sound of Your still small voice, keeping their eyes fixed on Your grace that shines cutting a pathway in the blackness of sin. Lord, may they stay on they narrow path that is guided by Your word which is a lamp onto their feet and the light to their path. Thank You Jesus for rescuing more souls from the grave of despair, restoring dry bones to flesh and placing them on the solid rock.  I love You, may I embrace Your goodness that continually illuminates this life You have given me.  In Your name, Jesus Amen.

John 11:44
And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with grave cloths, and his face was wrapped with a cloth, Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go."

Lord Jesus, You are my light and salvation, whom shall I fear? Or of whom shall I be afraid. My heart shall not fear for Your perfect love has casted out all fear!  I will sing, yes I will sing to the Lord, My God and King. When You have said "seek my face, my heart said to You, "Your face Lord I will seek."  When the wickedness of doubt and fear came against me, with a mission to devour me, bringing me to death, You call to me and said "Arise" and now my head shall be lifted above the enemy. Father I pray that as Your Holy Spirit raises others from spiritual death, calling them from the  grave of sin, You would use me to help unwrap their faces. Removing that which keeps their eyes from seeing You, their ears from hearing You and their mouths from praising You. Lord may I be used to speak truth that will untie their hands to serve You and their feet to walk with You. Jesus, I pray to be a blessing to You to free others from the grips of bondage, in the likes of fear, anxiety, depression and unbelief. May the words of my testimony be the scissors to cut another loose  from the tightening of despair and hopelessness. Lord You are the same yesterday as today and into tomorrow, and still desire that none should perish but come to the saving knowledge of mercy and grace. Father, I pray for anyone who is in the shadows of darkness, whimpering for help, that You would go quickly to their aid, by the power of Your Spirit calling in to the tomb for them to come out. Shine Your Light to pierce the darkness, leading them in to the way that leads to life. May they be forever changed, because You haven't hidden Your face from them. Holy Spirit  intervene on the behalf of the lost and broken, the weak and weary, the ones who may have drifted off the path and are struggling to find their way back to You. May they stretch out their hands in faith, believing You are right there to lift them from the pit. Thank You Jesus that You are mighty to save those who are walking around dead inside, filling them with hope and a future, for Your glory and honor. I pray this all in the amazing name of Jesus my Lord, Amen.

Mark 10:27
But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."

Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made heaven and earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing to hard for You. You show Your loving kindness to thousands. You are the great and mighty God whose name is Lord of hosts. You are great in counsel and mighty in work, for Your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doing. Lord, I pray that I would be able by the power of Your Holy Spirit to do all You have commanded me to do. On my own it is impossible, but with You living in me all things are possible. I pray for wisdom and guidance  in all areas of my life to obey Your voice and walk in the ways You have set. I pray Lord through the heeding of Your word to continue living in the land that You have blessed me with that flows with milk and honey. I thank You for wisdom to take care of my body, to love my family and to be a good steward over this dwelling place . Thank You for the knowledge on how to manage finances to bring good return to bless Your kingdom and those who have great need. I pray Lord that my life would be a great reflection of Your goodness, that all who live and work around me would see Your glory and victory living in and through me. They would know You are the reason I have peace and joy that is more than a passing feeling but comes from deep within and a spring that never dry up. Jesus You are my love, my hope, all consuming fire in my heart, no one or thing can take Your place or satisfy the way You do. I pray Lord that all would do what is required, humble themselves, confess they are sinners, ask You in to their hearts and be for ever changed by Your loving grace. Thank You Lord for another day to love, adore and serve You. For in surrendering my will into Your care the possibilities are endless and limitless on what You will do. In Your most powerful name, the Lord of host, Jesus, Amen.

Joshua 4:6
...that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, "What do these stones mean to you?"

Dear Heavenly Father,
Not to us, O Lord, not unto us, But to Your name we give glory, because of Your mercy, because of Your truth. From  the rising of the sun to its going down Your name Oh Lord shall be praised. You are above the nations. Your glory above the heavens, there is none like the Lord our God, who dwells on high, Only You Lord would humble Yourself to behold the things that are in the heavens and in the earth. You are our defender, champion, and protector. Today is a memorial stone, so Father I pray to   remember all those who chose to live like Jesus. Men and women who where willing to lay down their lives for others, so we all may live in this free land. How I am so blessed to have a wonderful Savior that has set me free from sin and death and to live in a nation that so many lovingly protect and defend that I may have liberty to live a life pleasing to You, without fear of persecution or judgement. Father thank You for each and every one who has served this country tirelessly to keep us from domination. Father bless the families that unselfishly gave up their sons and daughters for a greater good. I pray Lord it would bring comfort to them to know You collect every tear they shed and that Your word says "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of the saints" Psalm 116:15 You have not forgotten them. Father make beauty from ashes and turn their mourning into dancing.  May Your peace be upon the families who have just said their goodbye as their precious children are heading out to serve. Soothe their aching hearts. May they know that it is not in vain, but wih all purity and sincerity, the greatest gift one could give. One that I am continually grateful for. When our children ask what Memorial day means, let us give a full account of the long list of heroes that defended our land and independence. They are the beautiful hedge of protection that wraps their loving arms around us to keep us safe. Let us teach our children to never forget that You have taken us out of the land of bondage and and raise up an army to keep us in a place where freedom rings. Lord as we repent of our sins bless us to continually live in a land flowing with milk and honey. Lord Jesus You are our Commander and Cheif, may all our eyes be fixed on You. In the mighty name of Christ the King, I pray. Amen.

John 8:32 "And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."

Dear Heavenly Father,
I just want to praise You, and stand fast in the liberty by which Christ Your Son made me free, and I won't be entangled in the yoke of bondage.  Sin will not have dominion over me because I no longer live under the law but by Your grace. Thank You Jesus for the death You died for sin, once for all.  I'm dead to sin and alive in You, Christ Jesus, my Lord.  Now having on the new man my desire is to live for You in freedom and truth.  Father to abide in You, to obey Your word, and learn from the only wise King. All other paths lead to destruction. Oh other who practice various beliefs say they have peace but it is short lived, with out joy that come from You deep within. Only to find that the space in their hearts,the place that is reserved especially for You is still void. But I have joy because I have freedom from the bondage of sin, Ive been washed clean in the blood of the Lamb, and wear the robe of righteousness, which I'm so thankful for because it allows me to have fellowship with You my Maker. Thank You for removing the filth and grime of the world, that I may receive and experience Your amazing love. Oh Lord I pray that all would come to repentance, stop striving to earn their way to You, asking and receiving Your forgiveness. We have all fallen short, there is none amongst us who is perfect, we all need You to clean us. I pray Lord that many would surrender their heart and lives to You so they may be filled with Your Spirit to lead and guide them in all truth. I pray that their lives would then bear much fruit for You Kingdom. Father I pray that the unsaved would have revelation of Jesus words "whoever commits sin is a slave to sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. Father I ask You, "And who wouldn't want that?"  Lord, I'm dancing cause You have taken my shackles off my feet!!! Hallelujah, Jesus, may I have this dance with You today, You lead and I'll follow, may my step keep perfect time with Yours. Wee, I'm free!  I love You. In Your name, Jesus Messiah,  Amen.

Luke 5:31

Jesus answered and said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

Dear heavenly Father,
Oh, how I want to give thanks and praise to You, for You are good and Your mercy endures forever! Lord, You have sent forth Your word and healed us. Let us give thanks for Your goodness, declaring Your works with rejoicing. Lord, You have said, to trust in You with all my heart, lean not on my own understanding; In all ways I should acknowledge You and You will direct my path, I should not be wise in my own eyes; to fear You my Lord, and depart from evil. You have promised it would be health to my flesh and strength to my bones. Lord You also said I should give my attention to Your Word, incline my ear to hear what You are saying. Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of evil, avoid it, do not travel on it but turn from it and pass on. Father as I study and reflect on Your word, I understand more fully why You had me walk out on a particular Doctor, one trained in conventional medicine, but also dabbles in occult practices.  I believe You Jesus are my healer, who has already healed me of many diseases. Sometimes they have been immediate and some time You have said go wash, but all have been for Your glory!  Lord, I thank You for the wisdom and guidance You give through the power of the Holy Spirit living in me, there is no need for me to be so called "open minded" to other ways, You are the way, the truth and the life, I shall have no other God before You not even the exalting of self.  Broad is the way that leads to destruction, narrow is the way that leads to life. So, I will love You Jesus with all my heart, mind, soul and strength, not trying out practices that are hidden or mystical, bring me into darkness, when I already stand in Your marvelous light and am filled with peace. Thank You Lord that You have said I should go to a physician for this sickness, but may it be one You have anointed for healing and called for Your use. I thank You Lord that You will lead and guide me and other believers to receive the health care we need. Father, I pray that You will continue to call, and anoint hands, minds, and hearts of Your chosen people to be used to heal the sick, blind, deaf and lame for Your glory. By His stripes and by the same power that raised Christ from the dead we are healed. Thank You Jesus for loving me so much to lay down Your life that I may live. In Your precious and holy name, the name above all names Jesus, I love You! Amen.

Psalm 122:1
I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go onto the house of the Lord."

Yes, Lord I am glad to be in Your house with Your beloved children, my brothers and sisters. I know I'm in communion with You 24/7, but what a gift and treasure to be in fellowship and pray with those who make up Your body the church. To pray to You in one accord, lifting up holy hands, bowing our hearts in reverence to our Maker, the One who created the universe and all that is in it. I love praising You along with many other voices making a melody of lovely adoration. Such a sweet, sweet sound, all hearts beating as one. Father I pray that times of worship with fellow believers wouldn't be restricted to inside the walls of the church building, but You would reveal to us other like minded people who are present in our daily lives, the ones we haven't connected with yet. Unite us together to do great things for Your glory and Your kingdom. Let me not be shy, or timid to step out and ask where some one's heart is and who resides in it. May it be opportunities to share my love of Christ if they have not met the Savior of the world and my very best friend.  For the sake of the brethren and my companions I will say "Peace be within You." Seek what is good and turn from what is evil. Look to the One who can deliver and redeem you. Lord may every day be a holy day of resting in You, for You are the Lord of the Sabbath. Thank You, Jesus for drawing me near tucking me under the shadow of Your wings that I only need to turn my cheek to feel You near. Father, I pray that no matter where the busyness of life takes me today, I will seek to find You with me every moment. Thank You Lord that even in the storms of life, You are there, drawing us near to Your side, deepening our faith, hope and trust in You and You alone. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. Oh Lord I'm so thankful that You have promised to never leave nor forsake me. I pray Lord for those who are not well, battling various health issues may You lovingly touch and heal them from within, by the power of the Holy Spirit. I pray Lord that You would reveal Yourself to them as the loving compassion Father that You are, hear them as they moan in the pain. Come quickly to relieve the suffering and restore their bodies to wellness. I love You Jesus. Lord fill me today as I surrender my will into Your loving hand and follow after You. In the beautiful name of Jesus my Lord, Amen.

James 2:8
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the scriptures, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." you do well; 

Dear Heavenly Father,
Do I love my neighbor as myself, let me reflect. I must confess at times yesterday I did not love well. Sometimes my inner thoughts of myself are not very kind. Doubting I can do something, berating how I appear in the reflection in the mirror,  I'm a liar that says "I can't", when You have said "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Having frustrations of not measuring up to my standards of things when Your grace and mercy out weight every rule of measure. All the while trying to love others. How deceived and ridiculous it all sounds. I've placed high standards on other's conduct, feeling irritated and annoyed by their short comings instead of loving and encouraging them.  Lord I pray that today I would really observe how I love me, and then in turn love those around me bringing correction quickly and where needed. Jesus You are the magnificent jeweled crown of the Father, the royal diadem, the only authority and supreme power, who has called me to be part of the royal priesthood, a holy vessel, Your special child to proclaim the praise of You who has called me out of darkness into Your marvelous light. Lord You are not a liar, but the pure truth, my God who loves unselfishly, with compassion and very well. I surrender my thoughts and false truths into Your loving hands.  Bring correction where it is needed so I may be a vessel for Your use. May I not only tend to the washing the outside of my cup, my physical body this morning, but may the inner of this cup, my heart be cleansed by Your precious blood. Forgive me for impatience towards myself and those around me.  May my eyes see as You see the needs of others, to reach out and love them without condition, just loving them. May I be You ambassador of hope, to the hurting, seeing beyond their gruff and ruff exterior that hides the pain and fear inside. Remembering I was lost until the day that You so lovingly found me. I pray Father by this out pouring of love, many souls would be won and brought in to the kingdom. May there be no other gods before for me; but crown You Lord of all! Jesus I adore You, may they not be just words on a page but may I express it in kindness to others. Bless be the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob for another day to glorify Your name, the one in which I pray, Jesus, Amen.

Matthew 26:52
But Jesus said to him, "Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword."

You are Holy O'Lord, enthroned in the praises of Your people. Our fathers trusted in You, they cried out and trusted You and You delivered them. They trusted in You and were not ashamed. Lord I too will declare Your name above all names, and in the midst of the assembly I will praise You, Jesus. Lord keep us from the sword.  I pray that You would shield my precious life and the lives of my friends and family from those who slash with their tongues. Father thank You for protecting my loved ones from the mouths that harshly speaks and cuts to the heart leaving wounds. Father, I pray that we would not be a people who rely on swords but trust in You as our mighty defender on every front. You have said do not over come evil with evil but overcome it with good, and love covers a multitude of sin. May my heart be filled with compassion towards those who have a root of anger, running deep with in them that springs up at any given time and with out notice. Soften the hearts that use words as weapons because they are truly weak and vulnerable, scared and afraid inside. Father, give revelation the this type of weaponry leads to death of a soul just as physical sword takes life.  I pray that You Jesus would reveal Yourself to them in very deep and personal ways so that they are transformed and made new. I thank You Lord the hard armorer some wear to keep love at a distance will become so heavy they can not bear to keep it on for one moment more.  I thank You Lord for setting the captives free. Free to live, love and dance all their days and the days after that. Praise You Jesus for the merciful and gracious sacrifice that was the ultimate expression of love, teaching us that gentleness, kindness and serving others are of Your character. Jesus You were the meek, pure Lamb, that will one day return as the Lion and every knee will bow and confess You are King of kings and Lord of lords. Bless You Lord for filling me with Your Holy Spirit that I may walk humbly with You. In the blessed name of Jesus, Amen.

John 1:32
And John bore witness, saying "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him."

And the Spirit remained...How great Father, Spirit and Son, three in One. How great thou are, how great thou are!!!!  Jesus, I pray that Your Spirit would dwell in the lives all around me.  Oh how wonderful that would be that all darkness turn to Light! May we gain even greater understanding into the third person, the Holy Spirit.  With a fresh filling of the Spirit, Lord I pray that I would bear witness today of You to all those I meet. I pray that my lips would not be silent but share the goodness of the Gospel of peace.  May I point to the One who is peace, Holy is Your name and Holiness adorns Your house and remains. You are constant and Your love never changes. Let my heart sing to You O'God, sing praises to Your name, let me rejoice before You exceedingly, and let the righteous be glad! Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, You are the God of my salvation!  Jesus heaven is Your throne and earth Your footstool may all adore You. Father I pray that where ever I travel today, where ever You lead me I would hear the joy of Your name being lifted high, may praises be continually on my heart and the hearts of all who believe. Lord I pray as we look to You and speak words of adoration, You will take care of us and meet all our needs. Father I pray for the lives that are in turmoil and upheaval may they find peace and rest in You. Lord may they seek You and find You. May they knock and the door be open to them. May You come into their live take up residence and remain forever. Father grant peace where there is conflict. Douse the fires of anger, resentment, and frustration that rage in families and destroy lives. All eyes on Jesus and not on the circumstances, You are are the way to life. Pour Your Holy Spirit out on all flesh, that all may sing a new song, one that is sweetly and adoringly to You in thanksgiving for meeting us where we are. Come Holy Spirit come have Your way. In the gracious name of Jesus. Amen.

John 8:11
She said, "No one Lord" And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."

Dear Lord, maker of heaven of earth, of all things seen and not seen. You alone are great and greatly to be praised. There is none like You, no one can calm the seas, make the lame to walk or forgive me for my sin only You Jesus, my King. I worship and adore You. I did not choose You but You chose me. Lord You could have left me to wallow in my sin so many years ago, but You extended Your beautiful pierced hand and lifted me up, cleaned me off and simple said  "neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more." Father, how gracious and loving a Father You are to give Your Son to pay my ransom. I've said to myself condemned but You have said forgiven. Lord may I not condemn another but share Your love and mercy as You have graciously given it to me without hold back or till I get things right. As I look upon the cross where You died, I am humbled to my knees at the gift You gave, to set me free. Jesus I rejoice that You have risen from the dead overcoming the world, but I never want to forget the pain and suffering You endured for my wretched sin.  Thank You Lord for washing my filthy rags clean in Your precious blood and drawing me to Your side. I can only thank You, thank You, thank You. Kiss Your feet, and serve You all my days. Every day my love and appreciation for You grows deep and more intense, You are my only desire, for nothing of this world satisfies the way You do. Oh what peace and joy You bring, a love Ive never know.  Father fill me with Your Spirit to continue to teach me, granting me wisdom and understanding in all matters of my daily rounds. Father increase discernment in me to where the deception lies in the heart of others so I may be used by You to speak truth that will set other free. Father, may all I do and say bring glory and honor to You. With my eyes fixed on Jesus, and  covering my ears from hearing evil may I walk the narrow road that will lead me home to You. I love You Lord. In the name of Jesus. Amen

John 8:16
And yet if I do judge, My judgement is true; for I am not alone, but I am with The Father who sent Me.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I believe that Jesus is who He said He is. There is no doubt in my heart or mind, Your beautiful and precious Son is the Messiah, Savior of the world. The only judgement is for those who don't believe in You.  Thank You Lord for opening my eye to see the truth and my ears to hear the truth. No further justification needed Jesus You are the great I AM. Many Lord are still in unbelief, doubting and questioning by what authority Christ comes and why. He comes by Your authority to take away my sin and the sin of the world, the only worthy Lamb that was slain for us. Lord I pray that many hearts would turn to You this day, taking a leap of faith and trusting in You and You alone. Turning from the ways of the world where harsh judgement resides, and receiving Your loving mercy and grace. Bless You Jesus for You are the Light of the world, I desire to follow You all my days never to live in darkness again. Father I pray for those who are lost and broken who are struggling with addictions of all forms. Things they used to self soothe and medicate, to numb the pain of loss, neglect, abandonment, abuse of varying types wether physical, sexual or emotional. Father hear the groaning of their broken hearts that are helpless, weak and aching. Lord I pray that they would have strength enough to just cry out to You, because even if it is the faintest of  whisper You hear them in the darkness and will come quickly to lift them from the miry pit. Father send Your Holy Spirit to minister to those in desperate need of a Savior as they reach for another drink, drug, binging or purging, starving their bodies or placing yet another bet hoping for a big win, they are all looking to satisfy a deep need to be filled, feel whole and accepted. Father by the blood of Jesus may they be grafted in, for You will not leave them orphans but surround them with the most amazing love as You take them in to Your family. Thank You Jesus for paying my ransom so I may be in a loving family for all eternity. I love You Jesus. In Your Holy name I pray, Amen.

2 Corinthians 11:4
For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves, But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and compare themselves among themselves, are not wise.

Oh Father how I've dared to do this very thing more times than I can count. Father, Ive stumbled over many standard of measures I've set, or have listen to from others. Not good enough but better than...., not smart enough but bright than..., well at least I never did that...and on and on it goes. Father forgive me even this morning as I think upon my brothers and sisters in ministry who have accomplished so much for Your kingdom and glory and pangs of envy want to rise up. And my thoughts of how Ive fallen so short and achieved nothing,Yuck!  How quickly I forget the place we have been together and the lives You have touched through me. Forgive me for denying You of all the glory You so rightly deserve. Father as I meditate on these words Paul wrote to Corinth I ask that all my pride be striped from my mind and heart, Father You are the Gardener, trim away the dead areas of my life to bring forth new and healthy growth as I rest in You. May my eyes be fixed on Jesus, His greatness, goodness, generosity and grandeur. Lord smash the magnifying glass I use to hold myself to ridiculous standards and ones that You have never set. Lord thank you for Your loving kindness and tender mercies as I stretch and grow. Thank You for training up this little vine in the way I should go and may I never depart from You. Thank You Lord that You have promised to never leave or forsake me,  this gives me great rest and peace knowing I'm in the palm of Your hand and nothing, not even my transgression of comparing can pluck me out. Thank You for forgiving me. Lord I pray that we all would have a deeper understanding of the damage and the halting of the progress that comparing and measuring does to us individually and as Your body. Jesus thank You for being the perfect example of rest, trust and obedience to our Father. May my heart continue to be teachable for Your glory that all will know Your are  the Prince of peace , Savior of the world and Redeemer of the broken. In the gracious and loving name of Jesus, Amen.

John 5:40
But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

O' Lord I bow my heart and bend my knee to You, the wise King. I surrender my will into Your loving hands asking forgiveness over the areas of my life that I still cling to trying to control. I understand in my mind that in doing so I do not have the life You desire for me to live in the fullness. Lord Jesus I give You my heart trusting that as I surrender the area of struggle whether health, financial or relational, You would reveal Yourselves as You have in so many other components that make up my life.  Lead me and guide me through the challenge, effortlessly to achieve the optimal goal, so all glory and honor will be Yours. Send those who have had victory in that particular area to breathe life and hope in to me. May I be strengthened by the words of their testimonies. Father I pray for Your children who are not well to come to You, with requests of healing no matter how small they seem to be or how overwhelmingly huge the world says they are. Lord You are all powerful Healer may those in need be touched by Your amazing grace and be made whole. Let no false pride or fake humility stand in the way of receiving Your goodness for in that receiving, victory is Yours so no man can boast. Father I pray for the homes that are struggling to make ends meet, and are scurrying here and there trying to get enough, when Your store houses and barns are full, You are our Father with cattle on a thousand hills, and have said it is Your good pleasure to give to those who have given their all to You. Just as the widow with the pennies she gave all that she had, in doing so she showed it was her faith and trust  in You that was her focus not her fleshly needs, she knew You well believing You would provide for all her necessities.  Thank You Lord that as we surrender relationships in our lives to You, Your Spirit will bath them in peace, understanding and reconciliation. I think to my self, silly me why would I be so prideful to hold any part of me back from You.  Jesus have Your way in and through me this day, reveal Yourself to me and all the wonders that are only found in You. Lord Jesus I just want to praise You, praise You, praise You all day long. Thank You for this day, this life! I love You. Let me say it again Jesus I love You!!! All praise glory and honor are Yours forever and ever. In Your Perfect and Holy name, Amen

Isaiah 50:4

The Lord God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak A word in season to him who is weary. He awakens me morning by morning, He awakens my ear to hear as the learned.

Good Morning to You, Father God,
What a great and glorious day You have given. The birds sing, the sun rising, the flowers give of their fragrance. It is lovely in the garden with You and Your Word. Teach me Holy Spirit to know You more and more. Let me hear Your voice Father and all that You have to say to me this lovely day that You have made. I give thanks and praise amongst the challenges of this life because in it, there You are revealing Yourself to me, I'm in awe of You.  Father, I thank You for each and every struggle, heartache, disappointment and suffering over the years that have molded and shaped me into someone to be used by You, to serve other who are hurting, lost and confused regarding the mountains they face. You have given me a degree that was earned through the storms of life, nothing to be framed and hung on a wall but to be the frame around someone in need, holding them up in prayer, comforting them and words of wisdom for those who are fatigued in their spirit. Father, I pray that You would use me today to encourage someone. You wake me early so I may be filled with Your wisdom and direction for the day, please order each and every step. Jesus by the power of Your Spirit may I be a mouthpiece for You for those who are in a weary season and need to hear from You. May the words of my lips be honey from the comb sweet to the taste and pleasant to the ears. Thank You Lord for being with me through all of life's adversities, I pray that I would be transparent to others so they will do the same so they may come to find out they are not alone. Father thank You. In the Mighty name of Jesus, Amen

John 4:17
Jesus said to her, "You have well said, I have no husband,' for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly."

Lord I worship and adore You. With sweet adoration I come before You, dancing and singing, lifting You high. Giving thanks and praise for placing a banner of love over me, because just like the woman married 5 times and was with another I too have had 6 that Ive been intimate with. I call them bitterness, anger, anxiety, doubt, shame, and the worst of them all fear. They were wicked masters that kept me from joy, gentleness, peace, truth, dignity and love. Oh but Lord Your keys have unlocked the shackles on my heart.  Bless You Jesus, for setting me free, for calling me Your beloved bride. Jesus You are unmistakably, undeniably the lover of my soul, there is none like You, never was and never will be.  Father I pray that those who are caught in the bonds of emotions that squeeze all hope out of their lives, You would met them at the well where they are drinking of water that leaves them thirsty.  Jesus You have promised that who ever drinks of Your goodness will never thirst again. Father I pray that You would bring refreshing on marriages that are in dry places. Heal marriages that need to be reconciled, may they look upon the cross where Christ died, surrender confess their faults and failing and receive Your grace. Father mend broken hearts that grieve over the breaking of vows, restore trust and hope through Jesus. My heart aches Father for the innocent children who are casualties of divorce, heal them, restore them, lead them, guide them in the way that lead to life and use them to bring glory to You.  I love You Jesus, You are like a beautiful apple tree among the woods, it is a great delight to sit in Your shade and eat of Your fruit for it is so sweet to the taste and satisfying to the soul. In Your precious name, Jesus, Amen.

Acts 2:21
And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Heavenly Father,
How my heart aches today for all those who do not know Jesus. When I look at the people around me and see them struggling and striving, desiring more in life, but not know what they are missing. My heart breaks. Once upon a time I had that same void, that same longing, wanting to know the meaning of life, always searching, it was exhausting! Father I get tired just recalling those desperate days, a time when things, or accomplishments only satisfied me for a short and I mean short time. Days when I had no peace. But then someone loved me enough to tell me the truth. I'm a sinner, and need a Savior. Thank You Lord for opening my eyes to see all that was done for me when You lovingly took my sins on the cross, and rose again to new life. I know with out a doubt the meaning of my life is to share the hope I found in You and You alone with others. Jesus You said no one comes to the Father except through Me, thank You for covering my sins so the Father does not see them and make an entrance way for me to come to Him. I have never received a more precious and wonderful gift that will last for all eternity. Your amazing Agape love is all I need. Father I pray that You would continue to use me and be glorified through me that others would come to You and call You Abba Father. Hear my heart cry out for all that think "well I'm a good persons surely I will have a reward and will go to heaven."  Father having been there myself I now know how untrue and prideful I was. You have said pride comes before a fall, and there are three things that lead us to destruction, pride of life, lust of the eye and lust of the flesh. Lord thank You for forgiving me of pride, thinking I could be excepted by You set on my own standard. Forgive the others who are lost for they know not what they do or who they need to save them. Jesus maranatha, come quickly in to the lives of those walking in darkness and are being deceived by the evil one disguised as light. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit to do Your will today. In the mighty and awesome name of my Savior, Jesus Christ,  Amen.

John 16:12
However when He the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you in all truths; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

Dear Heavenly Father,
As a disciple of Jesus, I thank You for the filling of the Holy Spirit, the One who speaks truth into my little spirit. Lord I pray to hear Your good and perfect will for today. That by the Power of the Spirit I'd be led to do what is needed and necessary to serve others today. Holy Spirit have Your way in me to glorify Jesus, God's only Son. Thank You Lord for Your promise when You ascended You would not leave or forsake me but sent the Spirit to dwell in me and Your beloved people. Jesus be the center of all my days for in doing so it pleases both the Father and the Spirit. Father thank You for sending the Helper who speaks through me to testify of Christ goodness. Father may my prayer be like the one Jesus prayed for us before being crucified and resurrected; that Jesus would keep the ones You gave to Him, may all who believe have Your joy fulfilled in them, and that You would not take them from this world but keep them from the evil one. Cover Your children today Lord in Your precious blood, protect them from the powers of darkness, may their days be filled with gratitude and songs of thanksgiving.  Father sanctify Your sons and daughters by Your truth. I pray Lord for not only those who already believe, but for those who will believe in You through Your Holy Word. Thank You Jesus for making a way, for straighten every crooked path and for smoothing all the rough places of our lives. May peace reside in the hearts of all who are Yours. The word and my God stands for ever so I pray that all may understand and be changed knowing Jesus is the great I Am. The only one worthy of glory and honor and praise forever and ever. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Amen.

Proverbs 31:30

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Praises to You, Glory to You, Honor to You God. Blessed be Your name Jesus. Thank You Lord for all the beautiful, wise, gentle and nurturing women You have so lovingly surrounded me with. You have blessed me with living examples of Proverb 31 women who walk in Your ways and does Your will. As I recall each one, I am in awe to see You at work in and through them. Ones who have taught me to be a wife, ones who have taught me to work with my hands, ones who have taught me how to manage monies and the household, ones who have spoken wisdom over me, and the ones who have had enough courage to correct me.  Father thank You for the mothers, daughters and sisters who worship You and You alone, who unselfishly pray for the needs of others, extend hands to the poor, give hugs when they are needed to comfort and encourage. Father, I pray You will bless the women who fear You, and have sincere reverence for You, not just honoring You with their lips but have given You their hearts. Father You know their needs and longings, pour out Your blessings of salvation for loved ones, healing of broken hearts, healing in their bodies that ail, and minds that may have grown weary. Father strengthen and protect them. Turn their mourning into dancing. Father I pray for all the women both young and old who haven't met Your wonderful Son Jesus yet, open their hearts, eyes and ears to meet the lover of their souls, may they be changes and transformed in to new creations, old things have passed away and behold all things become new. Father I pray they would no longer rely on charm and the allure of physical beauty to gain things in this life but be reconciled to You. Father show them what true beauty is, through the eyes of Christ.  May they know You call them lovely. Jesus bless You for opening my eyes, for loving me enough to pluck me out of the world that is phony, superficial, and materialistic revealing to me the life behind the mask, for making me beautiful from the inside out. O' Lord how much more will You do for others. I love You Lord with all that is in me, I crown You Lord of my life, please Jesus continue to have Your way in and through me. In Your most beautiful and Holy name, Christ, Amen.

John 8:16
And yet if I do judge, my judgement is true; for I am not alone, but I am wit the Father who sent Me.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Forgive me for more time than I care to admit I judge my health and physical well being on the world standard which is imperfect, external and a superficial examination of conditions, status or shape. In frustration over the challenges and obstacles I face I revert back to the old ways of doing things that have failed.  Father You so lovingly sent Your Son, who took all sickness and disease on the cross making a way better for me by the power of Your Holy Spirit that lives within me.  Many may say who is Jesus and by what authority does He come, Father You are the proof and the One who said it is so stating, "This is My beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased" when Your Spirit descended like a dove upon Him. Father I pray You would grant me wisdom, self-control, and an extra measure of faith to restore this body to optimum health. I thank You Jesus that You will do even more for my friends, family and those around me who are facing health issues, that may leave them feeling weary and alone. Let us not be wise in our own eyes; but be fully committed to You, for it will be health to our flesh and strength to our bones. Father I pray we would incline our ears to hear Your loving instruction on the way that leads us to full restoration in body, mind and soul. Thank You Jesus for being my healer. Your love for me is a sweet balm for my my sore, ache body, I think on You and I am comforted and encouraged that the best is yet to come. Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals, Jehovah Shalom, the God of  peace, Jesus the same yesterday, today and forever. I love You Lord and cling to Your loving side, for You are so gracious unto me. In the name of the Most High, Almighty and Powerful, the name above all names Jesus Christ, Amen

John 15:12

This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

Dear Father in Heaven, 
Bless You Lord for Your Holy word that teaches and instructs me in all matters. Thank You Lord for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit that is my guide and navigates me through life. Lord Jesus, I desire to abide in You and to have the Word written on my heart. This morning the question of how I accomplish this love You require of me, and this is the response from Your spirit, bless You Lord for loving me so much to grant me wisdom. Romans 11:9-21 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer, distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your minds on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceable with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath for it is written, Vengeance is mine, I will repay says the Lord. Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good. Lord thank You for not leaving me to figure things out on my own, on how I should conduct myself in all circumstance. Father thank you for continuing to do a work in me and will see it through to completion. Lord, I pray that all would turn their heart and minds to You and would walk in Your ways that are higher and better. Thank You Lord for loving me so to correct me when I am in error. May Your peace be my guiding light. I love You Jesus. In Your Holy name, Amen.

John 8:10
When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the women, He said to her, "Women, where are those accusers of Yours? Has no one condemned you?"

Good Morning Lord, 
As I sit here at Your feet in the still of the day, with gentle rain falling on the rooftop, I'm in awe of You and Your mercy. Jesus You so lovingly asked the women where are those accusers of your, I think upon what my response would be, they are running around my head, telling me all the ways I fell short, am unworthy, condemning me for what I spoke or didn't speak, whispering lies. But as I fix my gaze upon You the one who shields me from the wickedness throwing rocks at my thoughts stoning me, my mind is quiet and the accuser is not heard. Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind as is written in Your Holy Word. As Your truth washes over me, Your overwhelming peace calms me.  Lord, I pray that others would know Your loving kindness and tender mercies, that once they have confessed their sins, and asked forgiveness You do not condemn them, but bring them to life.   Father, may I remember the place of my own sin and not be quick to condemn another.  As far as east is from the west our sins are no more.  Jesus You are the Lover of my soul, all consuming fire, my heart filled with gratitude for Your amazing love. You said to the women, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."  Worthy are You Lord of all our praise there is none like You!  May I share with all the world of the great and glorious thing You have done for me. Jesus walks with me and talks with me and tells me I am His own. How precious also are your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand: When I awake, I am still with You.  Jesus You are mine always and forever, thank You. In Your precious, beautiful, and Holy name, Amen.

John 7:38
He who believes in Me, as the scriptures said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.

Dear Heavenly Father,
What an amazing miracle happened when Moses tapped the rock and water gushed out for the Isrealites when they where thirsty in the desert.  And even more amazingly, Jesus' promise when we believed in the Word, we would be as a flow of rapid and plentiful water to refresh others. Lord Jesus I want to be so filled with Your Spirit that my encounters with other would quench their thirst in the dry places of their lives. Forgive me when I try to contain or control the waters of love to others. Your desire is for all those who are thirsty to come and drink from the fountain where streams of life flow from You. Lord Jesus who lives in me, I pray that my vessle will continually pour forth cups wherever needed when I share all You have done in and through me. Father I pray for those who are in arid places of there lives, their lips parched from living a life apart from You, Lord rain down on them the goodness of Your salvation. Please mix in with the rain healing touches for those battling cancer, heart disease, depression, suicidal thoughts, digestion and breathing difficulties, and various other medical conditions. Father I pray that by Your hand You would bring forth life in the infertily wombs as we repent of sacfricing of unborn children on the alter of the evil one. Forgive us Lord for these disgraceful acts and for our silence not speaking out to protect others souls, the concequences of the after shock when men and women try to hide their shame and guilt. Father forgive us for trying to make it ok by passing laws, when Your loving eyes still sees what is being done. Jesus open the eyes of those who feel trapped and in dispear over the choice they made when chosing death instead of life, may they come to know Your love and mercy, You payed the price for their  forgiveness of this sin. Father continue to speak into our hearts by Your Spirit through Your Holy Word to lead us the way we should go. Lord thank You for Your abounding mercy and grace, for lives transformed through the pouring out of Your precious blood that covers our sin. I love You Lord Jesus, in Your beautiful and holy name, Amen.

John 1:29
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes the sin of the world!"

Dear Heavenly Father,
May I be as one of the angels, elders and four living creatures who fall on their faces before Your throne worshiping saying: "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to God forever and ever Amen."  Oh Lord blessed is the day I saw You coming toward me, pursuing me, so willing and the only one worthy to take my sin away!  Thank You Jesus for washing my robe white in Your precious blood. Thank You for covering me so I may come into Your presence and be with You daily, sharing all my thoughts and cares, praising and petitioning. Jesus Your name is power, and You are the only wise King who knows the way that is so much better for me and mine. Lead us today Lord in all righteousness, may we live lives that are holy as You are Holy. Thank You Lord for wisdom and guidance in all the decisions that we need to make this day, direct us in the way that leads to life and turn us from the paths that lead to destruction. Father remove all self from our ears so we may receive Your instruction on the next step. May all doubt, debate and confusion be removed from out minds so we may hear Your still small voice, as You only have the best prepared for us. Lord forgive us for our endless struggling in trying to figure things out in our own small strength.  We  turn our thoughts to You and cast our care upon You and say thank You for Your loving kindness. We put our hope and trust in You and You alone.  Father I pray we would take the leap of faith like Peter when he stepped out of the boat, or like Abraham when You sent him to a new land and his obedience led him even thought he didn't know where he was going. Many who have gone before us did know either but Your Lord know the end from the beginning may our hope and trust reside in You alone.  May praises to You be continually on our lips saying Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come! Hallelujah. Thank You Jesus! Father I pray that by the power of Your Spirit we would receive even deeper revelation of Your Son, that through the Resurrection we would delight ourselves in You. In the Powerful name of Jesus, Amen.

John 14:2
In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

Dear Heavenly Father,
What joy to know Jesus has prepared a dwelling place for me for all eternity. My heart is at peace knowing that there is a permanent secure home awaiting. In this world where there is so much uncertainty, a place where sickness, financial hardship, and broken relationships seem the norm, I'm glad to know You are with me now and even to the end of the age. Lord I often feel as a stranger and pilgrim on this earth waiting to receive the promise of a homeland where there is no more suffering, my desire for a heavenly country resides deep with in my heart. Lord Jesus I am not ashamed to call You my God for You have prepared a place for me. Lord I pray You would fill me with the Holy Spirit today to empower me to share Your loving promises with others, bringing them hope knowing in You  the kingdom of heaven awaits. I pray that all would know Your desire for them to come to You and be made whole filled with hope and a future. May the words of my testimony be a lamp to light the way for others to have peace now as they surrender their hearts to You. Holy Spirit I surrender my will and fleshly desires for the greater purpose and greater good to see the salvation of others. Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me, as I walk with You, my Savior Jesus Christ. You are King of kings and Lord of lords, I bow my heart to You the Prince of peace, the author and protector of my faith. Thank You Jesus for loving me. Glory, honor and power are Yours the most High God. I pray all the world would taste and see You are good.  In Your beautiful name of Jesus I give thanks and pray, Amen

No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

Dear Jesus,
You who are with the Father, the only one with true intimacy with Him. How amazing is it for me to think upon this You are face-to-face with Abba Father, but also One with Him.

Thank You Lord for calling me friend, so I may come to You with all my concerns. You are the Vine and I am the branch and can not grown with out You.

By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit: so you will be my disciples. Lord I pray that You would heal my friends and family who are battling various diseases and sickness, heal them of emotions that have overtaken them. Lord I pray that You would save my friends and family that are still rebellious desiring to do things there own way. Lord I pray that Your truth will pierce the harden hearts of those I care so deeply about setting them free. Lord I pray that Your peace would fall across the land both near and far.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."

Dear Sweet Jesus,
You've shined Your light on me. Bless You for speaking it into my heart again, in You there is no darkness at all. I thank You that as I walk hand in hand with You my Savior there is no darkness surrounding me. Your light so bright and glorious it illuminates the world around me and darkness cannot remain. All evil flees from You. Thank You Jesus that You are me Protector, Defender and Champion not allowing the enemy the deceiver to take even one step near me, my dwelling place and all my family that inhabit it. But like cockroaches that scurry when the light switch if flicked on so does the evil one from You.  Shine Jesus shine for all the world to see the greatness of Your unfailing love, mercy and grace. Thank You Jesus that when I look inward to the condition of my soul there is no darkness at all. I only see the good work You have done in me when You circumcised my heart, and transformed me into a new creation, the old has gone and the new has come. You have replaced anxiety with peace, loneliness with hope, sadness with joy and self loathing with love. Thank You Lord for lighting up the construction sight of me to show the world the remolding of a broken life transformed into something You call lovely. Father I pray that Your beautiful Son would light the way for others who long to emerge from the darkness, and are desperately grasping, groping and reaching out to You for hope. Open their eyes to see the truth. Father You are the creator, who  turned night in to day, may this be the day of their salvation to know how much they are loved. Jesus You light up my life, may Your light touch others today as I follow after You with all my heart, mind, soul and strength. In the brightest name that out shines all the rest Jesus Christ, Amen.

John 15:16
You did not choose Me but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in my name He will give to you.

Dear Holy Father,
Oh, the joy that Jesus have chosen me. I am so blessed! What a privilege to be called Yours. Father it still amazes me, that You, the creator of the world and are such an awesome wonder would chose this sinner, clean and wash me up to be used for Your purpose bringing honor and glory to You. Wow! Lord, that is amazing for You know the depths of my heart and love me anyway. How true that years ago I didn't choose You but walked in the way that was prideful, self gratifying and vain. But You in all Your wonder in a brief instant opened my eyes to see Jesus. How great thou are, how great thou are!  I pray Lord I would bear much fruit for You, but Lord let it not be in my own strength, going out and building a ministry that I thought on my own would bless You when all the while You have so much more and a better way. Lord with praise, prayer and supplication may I make my request known to You because You have called me friend and we walk hand in hand. I pray that You would open more eyes of the blind trapped in sin drawing them to You, may I stand in awe as the miracle of salvation happens right before my eyes, all the while cheering for You, Go Jesus!!!  Victorious one!!!  Thank You Lord that You have said that permanent fruit would be brought forth through prayer. Lord Jesus have Your way in the lives of all those who I love and care for, that have not met You yet. May they to be changed in an instant. My family, friends and acquaintance who are lost may they be found today by the power of Your Holy Spirit. As my dear friend says we want more Lord, more souls in the kingdom of heaven, more lives reborn, more glory for You Jesus, Savior of the world. Blessed be Your glorious name in which I pray,  Amen.

John 1:8
He was not the Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray that all who have come to the Light, Your Son Jesus Christ would continue in boldness to share the love we have received.  Father as others have compliment me on beinging good, gentle, kind at times Ive pridefully taking it for myself  forgetting all to quickly that it is Your Spirit within me that allows me to live out Your characteristics.  Lord I confess I am not the Light but desire to bear witness of Your Light.  Lord, I pray that I would continually keep my eyes fixed on Your Light. When others notice the way I walk in love, peace and joy may it be opportunity to say greater is He who lives in me than all that is in the world. Father may I bear witness of the work that You have started in me and will see to completion. Thank You Lord that You are so patient as I stretch and grow being formed in to the image of Your Son, not that I could ever take His place. May I be living testimony of His life, examples for others of how Jesus conquered the grave and rose from the dead and through Him, He has made me victorious. Given me  new life, Im not crushed or defeated by the challenges, heartache or trails but am an over comers in all circumstances by the power of Your Holy Spirit living in me. All this for one purpose to bring glory back to You, to lift You my King high.

John 1:16
And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You Lord that I have found grace in Your sight and You know me by name. Hallelujah! Thank You for the gift of Your Only Son, Jesus who bore my sins and shame. Father I come before You asking grace upon grace for all those who are stiff necked and stiffed knees, saying they know You yet refuse to yield bowing their hearts to Your Spirit and continue living a life that idolize others and things. You Lord have said have no other Gods before me. Father, through Your Son You have shown us great compassion, and graciousness. By Christ sacrifice You have given grace piled on grace. Lord I pray that we would not take that for granted. Lord may those who have turned away remember the  love they found when they first met You. Oh, Father I see it all around me those who have lost there way, have grown weary and have turned to doing things there own way instead of waiting for You. Lord lead us to the land flowing with milk and honey may we not settle for less then the best You have for us as we humble walk with You. Lord it is such a blessing that we do not need to go through mediums, rituals, or kneel in front of stone statues, but to talk with You face to face to know You intimately and personally. Jesus, You are closer than any brother.  Lord I pray that the idols in our lives would be smashed before You so we may dance and singing, rejoicing that You are abounding in grace not giving us the judgement we deserve but through the shed blood of Jesus our ransom has been payed. Thank You Lord that You are my Savior, and I long for all the world to know the truth . In believing in You we get something we don't deserve, everlasting life. Lord I thank You for all those praise reports that friends and family shared of sinners coming home into Your loving arms. Oh Father how glorious that You ran to meet them with open arms, giving them a new ring,  sandals and a robe, meaning an inheritance into Kingdom of heaven, a new walk in holiness and covered them in the righteousness of Christ. Thank You Lord that we may rejoice with the angels over these miracles! Hallelujah Jesus saves!  Lord thank You for Your mercies and loving kindness. I just want to praise You all day and night. So I shall. I love You with all my heart, mind, soul and strength. In the name of Jesus, Amen
