Matthew 20:31

Then the multitude warned them they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, "Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!" 

Dear Heavenly Father, 
I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, Your word is power to salvation for everyone who believes. Lord You have said "the just shall live by faith." You have sent Your Word to testify to us, Jesus is the Root of Jesse and the offspring of David and He is the Bright and Morning Star. Father, lately my calling out to You has been interrupted by others telling me to be quiet. Their fear of the unknown, their doubts that You are who You say You are, or their pride wants to squelch my belief that You will heal, redeem and deliver those in need. But Lord I won't stop calling to You with all my deficiencies, and on the behalf of others, for You are the only one who can meet and exceed all my requests. Jesus Your compassion for the broken is like no other. You are my ever present help in time of distress. Father, hear the cries of Your children to have mercy on them, heal them, restore them, and bless them. May they not be silent. I pray for all those who doubt, reject or are afraid of Your power. May they come to know and trust in You. Lord, when we are weak You are very strong. I pray just as the blind man recognized You passing by, so they will be able to discern who You are amongst the crowd that is vying for their attention. I pray Lord  they too will call out to You for mercy and grace. Meet them in their place of despair. May they not miss the opportunity for their lives to be forever changed. You Lord Jesus heal the sick, bind the broken hearted and save the sinner from an eternity apart from Your amazing love. Jesus may You grant me even more boldness to share all that You have done and continue to do. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit so my lips are never silent to share the Good News. In the name of Jesus, the name above all names, Amen. 

Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own thing. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Today I seek Your kingdom first, and all Your righteousness. I pray Lord that all these things will be added unto me and to all those who seek You this morning. You have said Lord we should not worry what we shall eat or drink, nor be concerned by what we shall wear, for You Lord know all our needs.  Instead today I shall rest in You, and wait patiently. I shall not fret for You will prosper all my way and the ways of those who's hope and trust is in You and You alone. You Lord have promised that the meek shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in an abundance of peace. Father I thank You that You hear the cries of Your children, their needs and petitions. Thank You Lord that You will bath them in peace today and they will be anxious for nothing, but with prayer and sublication they have made their requests know to You. I thank You Lord that as I sit at Your beautiful feet You are gently increasing my trust in You. Sitting here I'm so thankful that the hurry and rush to get things done is silenced. I thank You Lord that in this stillness the noise and pollution of yesterday is cleansed from my spirit and being refilled by Your holiness. The cleansing and purification of my thoughts brings great comfort and peace, thank You.  I pray Lord that Your peaceful presence would sweep over the land and enter into every doorway that welcomes and invites You in. Father I thank You for Your Son, who is gentle, loving, kind and for His unselfish sacfrice. Jesus You are gloriously robed in shining white, magnificant in every way. May my heart and mind be fixed on You the whole day through. I love You Lord. In Your Your name I pray, Amen.

James 1:2
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trails.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray to never forget Your works, and my hope ever rest in You my Lord my God. You have done marvelous things. You divided the sea, making the waters to stand up in a heap, for those to pass through. You led them with a cloud by day and fire by night. You split the rock in the wilderness, and gave them drink in abundance. You opened the doors of heaven and rained down manna to eat. You gave bread that was like angels' food and they where full.  Lord You have done so many great things for Your children throughout the centuries. Even when we murmur and complain about the trails we face You are there in the midst teaching, revealing and blessing us. Father I pray to give diligence to my faith, so virtue would be added. Please Lord don't let it stop there but let that virtue cultivate knowledge of Your precious Son. Grant self-control to come forth by the power of Your Spirit that will bring the blessing of perseverance in all situations. I pray Lord that perseverance will shine forth as godliness that in turn is poured out in the form of brotherly kindness which equates to love. May Your unending love reside deep within me so I may face this trial with expectation that it will bear much fruit for Your glory. I pray Lord that this victory will be another notch in  the belt of truth. Jesus You reign forever and ever. Thank You Lord for helping my friends and family to grow in faith and trust as they see You rise up and conquer every challenge in every area of life; health, finance, and relationship. I thank You Lord that You are the same today, as You were yesterday and will be tomorrow. Thank You Lord that You see what we don't, but You lovingly hold our hands and guide us in the way that is right for every situation. I love Your Holy Word Lord for it is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I thank You for the wonder of another day to live, love, laugh and to be in fellowship with You, my very best friend. In the Precious and Powerful name of Jesus, Amen.

Matthew 18:12

"What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying"

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, I once was lost and now am found. Father how the words of the Hymn still ring true. Blessed are those who walk in the law of the Lord. I pray that I do not wander from Your commandments, and Your word that is hidden in my heart. But Lord, I must confess there are times my mind veers off the trail, thinking on things I ought not. Such as the what ifs, or how comes. I fight to restrain my feet, keeping them from galivanting off after some willy nilly idea.  Oh, but Lord how gracious and good You never letting me out of Your sight, while listening to my thoughts and sending the blessings of correction. The shepherd always goes after the lost sheep because it is valuable. How my Father in heaven loves me so much more for You pursue me daily when I begin to roam in the wrong direction. I'm in awe of how quickly You respond. Like a mother in a market with little children in tow, who seems not to be paying attention to the activities of her brood. They think she is focused on her task at hand. Then the wee ones take the opportunity to explore. More swifty than they are quick she reaches out an snatched them up keeping them safe from harm. Jesus, please go after the ones that once knew You but have deviated and are now lost in the desert. Lord, hear the cries of their families calling out their names in the darkness to come home. Lord, I pray You would fill us with the Holy Spirit today, to guide our thoughts, direct our steps, giving us wisdom and discernment in all situations. Bless us with obedient ears to hear Your voice to do Your will. Thank You Jesus for being our Shepard, leading us to green pastures and by still water. You Lord restore our souls. I thank You that Your rod and staff comfort us. Bless You that You never leave us stranded in our poor choices, or relinquish the day of our salvation, You have so lovingly blessed us with. Thank You Lord for forgiving me and washing my nappy wool clean. I love You Lord Jesus, Amen

Hosea 2:15
I will give her her vineyard from there, And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope; She shall sing there, As in the days of her youth, As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.

What a glorious morning to hear the voice of my Beloved! Behold He comes leaping upon the mountains that are before me, skipping on the hills. Jesus, no problem, challenge or trial is too large for You.  You have overcome them all. Behold, You stand behind the wall that I have built up in my heart thinking I will never overcome this challenge to rebuild this body. But in the the areas of my life where there is a window, I see You gazing in. Your love and light comes through the lattice of the secret garden within and warms me with hope. Bless You Lord Jesus, for You have called to me to be Your bride, and I shall call You my Husband. You my Beloved have spoken to me and said arise my love, my fair one, and come away. Winter has passed and the rain is over and gone. The flowers of the earth appear. You have said my time of singing has come! Lord I shall sing praises to You as I did when I was a child, with innocents and awestruck wonder. With joy and thanksgiving I shall dance, You have delivered me from bondage. I pray Lord that You would deliver many others who are battling drug, alcohol, food, gambling and sexual additions. Thank You Lord that You are teaching and instructing me on how to care for my health. I understand that through Your Word the Valley of Achor means "valley of trouble". You have so graciously turned my doubt that has troubled me, thinking I couldn't be fit and vibrant into a door way of hope. You will then use me to help others. I pray the same for Your children so they will recieve the vineyard that produces good fruit that is sweet to live on and share. I thank You Lord that You are the new wine that we all should desire to drink. You are my cup and portion. You Jesus are more than enough to fill my hungry soul. Thank You Lord Jesus for loving me enough to die. Thank You Lord that death could not hold You down but You overcame the grave. Thank  You Jesus for the promise of enternal life. In the glorious name of Jesus, Amen.

James 1:19
So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath...

O' righteous Father,
You are here this morning in my midst. The Mighty One who saved me. You rejoice over me with gladness, and quiet me with Your love. Its incredible to imagine You rejoicing over me with singing. I pray Lord You would open my ears wide today to hear the delightful melody of loves divine. May my focus be on listening to joyful noises, such as birds singing, children laughing and my cat purring. Grant me the discernment to hear even the slightest bit of deception. Expose those who speak word that are seemingly sweet but are vinegar going down into my soul. Increase the sensitivity to the sounds of hidden trickery that wants to lure me in the wrong direction. By the Power of Your Holy Spirit may I be very slow to speak, I surrender my voice to You. Often I have to much enthusiasm to share Your mercy and grace with others but then it repelled by hardened hearts. Father, when I see those pearls of love fall to the ground, my heart aches for they have not rejected me but the give of every good and perfect gift that is only from You above. Guard my speech, let it not be harsh, or critical but sincere and kind. Anoint my lips so they are full of encouragement for those who are hurting. Lord Jesus may Your peace be with me so I'm slow to wrath, quick to forgive as You have quickly forgiven me. Father I pray for Your children that harbor anger and wrath in their hearts. Perhaps over pain that has been inflicted on their loved ones. An incredibly deep pain because they have felt so helpless to defend or protect someone so dear to them. Holy Spirit lift the burden of guilt, fill them with perfect peace. May they know deep within You are not disappointed or angry with their thoughts. You will turn what the enemy has meant for evil to something good if they will allow You to use such suffer to bring glory. Lord hold them close, comfort and restore them as only You can do. Give them understanding that there is no shame.  Jesus, You have taken it on the cross to set them free. Lord restore those relationships that are strained, struggling or have been broken due to grievous and unthinkable crimes. Father, heal the deep wounds and scars that have been inflicted on the innocent, there is no one else in this world capable, and has what is need to restore a broken life. only Jesus Christ, You are the way, the truth and the light. You Lord understands suffer more than any of us. Father I pray for those who are asking now, why would God allow such things to happen, may they come to understand we live in a fallen world, and You have given us free will to chose whom we will follow, Jesus who is pure and holy or the evil one who kills and destroys. Come Lord quickly, Your children need You. In Your name I give thanks and pray, Amen.

Amos 9:14z
They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them, They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them, They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I hear You calling "Arise, shine, for You Light has come!" And Your glory has risen upon me. I shall lift up my eyes all around to observe. Then I shall see and become radiant, and my heart shall swell with joy and thanksgiving for Christ is King. Thank You Lord that You have made me like a green olive tree in Your house. Creating me to be a person of beauty, by Your loving pierced hands You have grafted me into the root. I give thanks for Your loyal love, it causes me to thrive and prosper in all areas of life. You Lord have loved me with an everlasting love. Your loving kindness has drawn me to You, so again I shall build. You have restored my health, along with my beloveds who are in need of a touch. You Lord Jesus have healed all our wounds, restoring our hearts to beat with contentment. Overcoming trails and challenges has broken up the the hard ground in my heart. As I sow Your word into the soil of my soul, the miracle of blossoms burst forth bearing fruit that is sweet and nourishing. The plants of wisdom and knowledge of Your Son in the vineyard of my mind makes  the best wine to drink. As I renew my thoughts in Your ways the landscape of my life is being recreated into a lovely horizon for a new day. My body that once was sorely neglected is being transformed in to strong, vibrant, dwelling Your Spirit inhabits. Father I pray that You would bless my friends and family with the spiritual wisdom they need to see the promise of Amos come forth in their lives. Bless them Lord with beautiful places to live, drink that satisfies and abundance of good things to eat. Prosper the works of their hands in every way. Let us be adorned with tambourines and go forth dancing, and singing praise to our King and Lord, Jesus Christ. In His name I pray, Amen.

James 2:16
...and one of you says to them "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body what does it profit?

Father when I was a child, young in faith, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, and thought like a child, but when I became mature I put away childish things. In the beginning of my walk with You, I desired Your blessings to be pour out on me. It was all about just taking and receiving. Oh sure, I would do good deeds, picking and choosing when, where and whom I was going to help at my convenience. Most often leaving You on the side watching, then running to You to say look what I just did!  Longing for approval and reward. Never giving glory to You. Now Lord that I'm older I joyfully, excitedly desire the work that puts You in the spotlight, magnifying Your greatness. I must decrease and You Lord must increase. Father, I pray when a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, whether spiritual or physical, a need of any kind, my heart and hands will respond to be Your body in motion sealed with Your loving signature. Unlike the designers insignia that is in one moment and out with the next season or trend You are everlasting. Jesus, You have said only that which is done for You shall remain. Lord I pray my treasures would be laid up in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroy and thieves do not break in and steal. Father I pray for wisdom and discernment to understand the needs of Your people. Forgive me for the times my zeal has rushed in to help someone who does not desire help or Your truth of the Gospel. Thank  You Lord for Your Holy Spirit that guides me to the ones who are calling out in the darkness for assistance. May my ears be tuned to hear their cries, giving them what is needed to be warm and filled. Lord let all I do and say bring glory and honor to You. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.

Nehemiah 8:10
Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions for those whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to the Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is my strength."

Rise and shine give God the glory. I stand up and bless the Lord my God forever and ever! Blessed be Your glorious name. I shall exalt You my Lord above all blessings and praise! You alone are Lord. You made the heavens and the heavens of heavens with all its hosts. The earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You preserve them all. Lord Jesus You have made Yourself known to me. I live and thrive off Your goodness. You have blessed me with good gifts. Help me to prepare this morning Lord by the wisdom and power of Your Spirit to give a portion to those who have nothing; the ones who are lost, hurting, and  rebellious due to deep wounds and hurts, that have cause their hearts to harden. Use me today Lord to spread You love, hope and peace to those who are drinking from a cup of bitterness that I once drank from until the day I had the courage to ask. "Where were You in the disappointment, heartache, and abandonment?" You responded by flooding my room with love so amazing, and Your voice pierced the darkness saying "My child I was there, I felt every thing you felt and so much more." But where Lord, where were You?" was my desperate plea for a response that was tangible. Your graciousness said "I was nailed to the tree." Nothing else was needed for I had understood You have never left me or forsaken me. You Lord Jesus are the one who has wiped away my sorrow and Your joy Lord is my strength. Thank You Lord for all the blessings You have continually poured upon me from that time to today. Lord, anoint my lips to share this with others so they know there is a hope and a future. Your Spirit will fill them in ways they could never have imagined. May they eat the fat and drink of the sweet all the days of their lives. In the beautiful name of my Savior I pray, Amen.

Matthew 5:14

"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden."

Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray these words written will paint a picture of the generous gift You have so lovingly blessed me with. When the evening hour settles in, the sky is dark and still, the twinkling little lights of the fireflies appear. Oh, how they sparkle and shine against the deep blackness. The space the seem void of life comes alive with activity. The illumination is magnificent. A little city of lights fluttering in the air. As I read this scripture, I think of the wonderful people You have surrounded me with. They are those who let Your Light shine through them and brighten the darkness around me. Lord they cannot be hidden for they are far too beautiful and precious in Your sight and mine as well. I thank You for each one, they are individual and uniquely special. Lord, I pray that their little lights will continue to shine, and Jesus will be magnified. I pray Lord that You would continue to bless them and meet all their needs. Electrify them with Your word, empowering them to be lamps on the pathway for others, shedding light to guide them on the narrow way. Thank You Father, that You have given me more than I could have imagined in friendships that are so special and dear. There are no words to truly express my gratitude for each and every one. Jesus, Your amazing love is poured out through them, and it is the warm embrace at times I so desperately need. Other times they are the joy that makes my cup runneth over. I have been so blessed to walk alongside them through good and challenging times.  I'm grateful for their honesty, sincerity and humor. Father thank You that You have taught and continue to teach me through these very wonderful people, who are so encouraging more than they know, Lord that is what makes it so remarkably beautiful and brilliant. Father, I pray You protect, prosper, strengthen and heal them. Fill them with wisdom, knowledge and grant them discernment in every situation. Increase the love, peace and joy in their lives. Thank You. In the name of the Light of the world Jesus Christ, Amen.

Proverbs 21:31

The horse is prepared for the day of battle, But deliverance is of the Lord.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Waiting patiently for You is not easy sometimes. Lord, I'm thankful for every moment and the times You hear me cry. You have brought me up from the miry pit and set my feet upon the rock of Jesus Christ. You then established my steps, and lovingly put a new song in my mouth. I pray that the words of my testimony would be hope to another. That they would have ears hear and will come to trust in You. Father, I pray for all my friends who every morning prepares to do battle for their loved ones. They run to You as the Commander and Chief of their lives asking You as I have so many times to lead them to victory. I pray Lord as You have blessed me with deliverance from the darkness You would do even more for them. Lord, I believe You are there with them in the midst of all the heartache. May they sense Your comfort and know Your compassion. Lord if we make our beds in hell, behold You are still there, our ever-present help in time of need. I pray Lord for those who are battling addictions, may they not go it alone riding solo, but call to You and You will come and whisk them up. Jesus You are our Savior ride valiantly into the lives of the broken, reveal Yourself to them and fill them with awestruck wonder, may their only desire be for You. That no drink or drug would have power over them for You have healed them from the inside out. Lord may their lives glorify and magnify You. Thank You Lord they can never fall so far that You cannot reach or would not rescue them. I pray Lord that You would break all sense of pride, thinking they are not worthy to receive Your amazing love, Lord we are all not worthy, but You love us anyway, in our brokenness, nothing we do our say can earn it. And You certainly do not expect us to be perfected before we come to You, that is Your joy and job by the power of Your Spirit to create us new. Thank You Lord when we surrender our will into Your loving and more than capable hand You do a new thing in us. I love You. In the Mighty name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.

Mark 8:2

I have compassion on the multitudes, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat.

Bless You Lord for nourishing the faithful. Thank You Lord for our daily bread. Thank You Lord that we are sustained when we live by every word that proceeds from Your mouth. It is true Father that I hunger and thirst for a portion today from Your Holy Bible. Thank You for Your compassionate desire to feed me. Lord, I pray by the power of the Holy Spirit that You would grant me a freshen baked morsels, a sweet nugget of revelation of Your goodness and love. As I feast upon the scriptures that bring forth life, I am satisfied and strengthened. Father, I pray for those who have not met You yet, but are in a place of starvation, grasp at anything to fill the empty place in their soul. Send those who know You who have their baskets filled ready to feed them the truth of Your Son. May life be reborn by the miracle of salvation. Father, I pray for those who are with You daily, are serving and working for Your Kingdom tirelessly but are starving and malnourished, give them their portion for this day. Revive their weary spirits. You Lord Jesus are the Bread of Life; may we continue to be in communion with You. Thank You for Your broken body and pour out blood for the forgiveness of my sin and the sin of others. May all taste and see You are good. Thank You for restoring the joy of our salvation. I love You Lord. In Your beautiful name, Amen.

Isaiah 40:31

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings of eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

I love You Lord, my strength. You are my rock, my fortress and my deliverer. My God in whom I trust.

Bless You Lord God Almighty for this promise, that I'm leaning on today. After several days of busy, and a course of antibiotics my energy level is depleted. But You have said those who wait on You shall renew their strength. So, this morning I sit at Your feet giving thanks and praise for Your goodness that is great, and faithfulness that is forever. Lord, I pray by the power of Your Holy Spirit You would strengthen my hands that hang down and my feeble knees, making my path straight so my feet may not be dislocated, but rather be healed. Father, I'm getting impatient with myself, just listening to the sounds of the mumbling and grumbling over my aches and pains, but suddenly my heart is now turned towards those who are in immediate need of healing. Father, I pray for those who have arthritis of all types; osteo, rheumatoid, juvenile, those with Lyme's disease, fibromyalgia, Lupus, tendinitis, bursitis, pulled muscles, and dislocated shoulders may the beautiful, pierced hand of Jesus touch them now bring much needed restoration. Reduce all inflammation, and may all blood, bone, joint and marrow come under Your submission and authority bringing complete healing and wholeness in Christ name. I pray Lord for those who are so tired and weary from caring for loved ones with autism, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and all types of cancers, renew their strength as only You can do. Grant them much needed rest. Lord, pour out Your mercy.  I pray for those who are waiting on test results may Your perfect peace be upon them, as they put their hope and trust in You. Lord Jesus You are the same today as yesterday, the great physician and mighty healer, all powerful and knowing be glorified in the lives of those who call out and trust in You, touch them with Your amazing grace. May Your healing rain come pouring down and the blessings of miracles abound. Thank You, for mounting me upon on wings of eagles to soar through this day, with no weariness. In the powerful and glorious name Jesus. Amen.

Mark 1:18
They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

Dear Heavenly Father,
How often I have asked for You to listen to my requests and demand immediate action, all the while taking my time to follow after You. Lord of hosts, Almighty God, You have commanded us to obey Your voice and You would be our God and we would be Your people. To walk in all Your ways and it all would be well with us. As I survey the different areas of this life, I think of the nets that I'm holding onto. The work and effort I put forth in my own strength which I think would bring about rewards or my desired outcome. How much better and greater to follow Jesus and His example. To live peaceable, to love without condition, to find joy in the things above instead of focusing on the things beneath that tangle me up. I admire the Disciples discipline to drop their way of life and pursue that which is so much greater. Lord I turn my attention to You and You alone. Praising the name of the Lord.  Jesus, alone shall be exalted in and through me. For Your glory is above the earth and heaven. May I sing a new song unto You Lord, amongst the assembly of the saints. I shall rejoice in my Maker. Father I pray, as I lay down my efforts on the shore of the Living Water, Your Spirit would wash over me cleansing me from all iniquities.  Forgive me Lord, let today be a new beginning, not stopping to fold up my nets, contemplating where this action may lead me, but trusting that You shall lead me to springs of abundance. You will provide for and meet all my needs. That I shall be anxious for nothing, and will see Your glory break forth like the morning sun rising over still waters. Thank You Lord for Your mercy that endures for ever. Bless You, for patiently watching me year after year lay down net after net; such as finances, family, friends and fitness to follow after Your way. With every step I take in obedience, You have blessed me with more than I could have imagined. Fill me with Your Spirit today be obey the sound of Your voice and the cry of Your heart, to be Your hands and feet to love and serve others. In the name of Jesus and for His glory, Amen.

Matthew 7:41
And they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.

You are welcome, please come in King of glory. Be with me this lovely day You have made, Lord Jesus the one who is strong and mighty. This morning I lift You up the Everlasting Door, the entrance into green pastures.  The earth in all its fullness is Yours. The world and all who dwell here are Yours. But who may stand in Your Holy place? Lord Jesus grant me clean hands and a pure heart. Let me not lift my soul to an idol of any kind, shape or form. Let me not boast in the things that I've done, but in the One who is giver of strength, wisdom and knowledge to accomplish works for Your kingdom and for Your glory. May all that I do or say be to magnify You, the Great I Am. Lord You are so great and greatly to be praised, teach me to be in awe and to fear You above all gods. I do not desire the gods of the people that are money, prestige or power, nor do I care about status or possessions owned, I care Lord that You know my name. Your Word says "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his own soul?" You Lord gave the Ten Commandments to Moses; you shall have no other gods but me, you should not make for yourself an idol, you must not miss use the name of the Lord your God, remember the Sabbath day and keep it Holy, honor your father and mother, you shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you must not steal, you must not testify falsely against your neighbor, and you must not covet. Lord You have said it ten times, You are the One that I should worship with all my heart, mind, soul and strength. May I enter Your courts with thanksgiving and praises, waving my banner high.  Father, fill me today with Your Spirit to do just that. In the Holy and Beautiful name of my Lord Jesus, Amen.

Matthew 5:11

Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My name sake.

Dear Father God,
Forgive me, yesterday I was not the witness You desire for me to be. I did not speak wickedness, but what is worse I did not share Your truth. I know there are many Lord who are lost and hurting, yet I did not give them the Good News. Hmm, Lord was it fear? Was it lack of compassion? Was it thoughts of feeling rejected by man? Lord does it even matter the root cause, I was sleeping when You ask me to be the watchmen on the wall searching for open doors to share the Gospel. You even promised I would be blessed if they spoke evil against me.  As I sit here this morning at Your feet reflecting on the previous day, and how I should have step out in faith, disregarding all thoughts of how to fit in with the crowd around me, I have I deep remorse for things unsaid, and missed opportunities.  I didn't respond to Your word that says, "And above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins."  Lord forgive me for not allowing Your passionate love to run through me to be poured out on others. I was guarding my personhood in my own strength.  I left part of the armorer You blessed me with in the car, leaving me unprepared and ill equipped. How quickly my mind can be distracted, not set on things above, where Christ is sitting at Your right hand. I'm really sorry that I hurt You. Teach me how to speak love and truth into a gathering of unsaved people, to cast off all feelings and thoughts of fleshly insecurities and rise up to proclaim Your goodness, so all eyes and heart would then be fixed on You. Father by the power of Your Holy Spirit, I would have the willingness to throw a rope down into the pit of another life to lift them out and place them on the solid Rock of Jesus Christ. Lord let this not just be words spoken this morning but a life changing revelation of how important ever moment and encounter is. Let me not take for granted or assume there is someone else to do the job You have called me to do. Thank You Lord for this day to begin anew. May all I do and say be a blessing to You. I pray Lord for Your wisdom, guidance and more assignments to share Your amazing love. In the precious name of Jesus I pray. Amen

Matthew 5:10

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Your beautiful Son Jesus, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, He was despised and rejected and was not esteemed.  He was wounded for my transgressions and iniquities. Father, I am like a sheep sometime that has gone astray, turning to my own way.  Could I honestly think or believe I know persecution? No, I cannot. Because of Your love and protection, I can say I've only experience mild forms of hostility for my faith in You, my Savior.  I count it all joy when I face trails for Your name's sake. I do not have full understanding of the sacrifice Jesus endured but do praise Him for the gift.  I've never suffered to the depth and degree for another like He did. Jesus is without spot or blemish, the perfect Lamb who was led to slaughter. Father, I pray for all Your faithful servants that are being persecuted around the world. Protect them, cover them in the precious blood. Father by the power of the Holy Spirit continue to write Your Word upon their hearts, so that when they are faced with extreme, harsh treatment, it will spring forth to their minds, keeping them in hope. I pray that You would give them Christ-like eyes, so when they look at their tormentors keeping them captive, they see with eyes of love and compassion. Father, I can only imagine these are Your very special chosen people and know theirs is truly the kingdom of heaven. I pray for all those who persecute Christians to receive understanding and revelation of Your amazing mercy and grace. May they become born again turning from their wicked ways.  Lord, I bless You for loving me enough, to lay down Your life to call me friend and pay my fee to one day enter heaven. I love You Jesus and am forever grateful. In Christ's name, Amen.

Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

Unto us Father, Your Son was given; And the government is upon His shoulder. His name is Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  O Lord, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, for you have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. Father I pray as I bow my heart to You in reverence, You Spirit would fill me to lead a quiet and peaceable life. I pray Lord for Your wisdom from above that is pure, guides me to be gentle willing to yield, and full of mercy.  Lord I pray for freedom from quarrels and disagreements, may all my relationships be harmonious. Let there be order in my home with the atmosphere of sweet serenity, You are welcome in our dwelling place and because of Your presence it is so . I pray Lord You would cover every door post and window in the precious blood of Jesus so strife would not be able come near to the passageway. Father as I sit in stillness and silence at Your feet teach me how to bring peace about in all situations and circumstances, speak Your truth into my heart and fill me with Your breath of love. Holy Father I pray You would come in to the relationships that are struggling. In this world where there is no peace due to the rising up against another and the demanding of our own way, please send Your Holy Spirit to turn the harden hearts and give them a heart of flesh, one filled with compassion. Lord I pray that there be grace and peace abounding in all areas of life. May we look in to the eye of our enemies and fall in love. Living as Christ lived extending mercy and patience to bring about everlasting change. Thank You Jesus for Your blanket of peace upon me, may it be covering me the entire day. I love You. In Jesus name, Amen.

Matthew 5:8
Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.

Truly You Lord God are good, to such as are pure of heart. But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; My steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the boastful, when I saw their prosperity.  All my ways seem pure in my own eyes, but You Lord weigh my spirit. Who am I that that I could dare to say " I have made my heart clean, I am pure from sin"?  Father as I meditate on the word pure and its meaning; unmixed with any other matter, such as pure gold. There is only one who shines like pure gold, Your beautiful Son Jesus. Your Word says "Everyone who has hope in Jesus purifies himself, just as He is pure." Father fill me with Your Holy Spirit to live morally pure as Your Son did. May I have a deep desire to pursue purity even more than before. I pray that in the manner of love that You have bestowed on us, we would be called children of God!  And now Lord that we are part of Your family graphed in by the blood of Jesus, He will be revealed to use in the world around us through our senses, seeing Him, hearing Him, feeling His presence, tasting His goodness and speaking His truth. Lord it amazes me that You do not love as the world loves, only the ones that love them back but You love even those who disobey You. Thank You Lord that You are the God of second chances, even when we fall short Your arms are still outstretched wide waiting for us to drop down  so You can catch us. I pray Lord that You would bless those who diligently serve You, love as You love, and their heart are fixed on things above. Thank You for surrounding me with those who live upright and set great examples of Your purity that I may glean from and grow. These are the saints who are on the earth, they are the ones in whom You delight. They are like pure silver tried in the furnace and purified seven times. Keep them safe Lord in the palm of Your hand. Bless them to see You, for they are pure of heart. Lord I pray that today I would live purely and simply with my eyes fixed on the finished work of Calvery. May all I do and say bring glory to You. You are the Light of the world. In Your name Jesus I pray. Amen.

Matthew 5:7
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Oh Father, let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You! Let such as love Your salvation say continually "The Lord be magnified!"  Lord let Your loving kindness and Your truth continually preserve me.  Father You have shown great mercy to me through Your precious Son Jesus. You have blotted out my transgressions and laundered me thoroughly from my iniquity, cleansing me from my sin. Your tender mercy has wash me white as snow.  Lord continue to create in me a clean heart so unforgiveness can't reside within. May my words of pardon be like hyssop to anothers soul. Fill me Lord with the Holy Spirit to be gracious to others when they have wronged me. Jesus, I want to do as You have said, not just love those who love me but really love my enemies. This Lord is quite a challenge, but by Your strength nothing is impossible.  Father, bless those who have hurt me, pour love upon them, and meet all their needs.  I pray Lord that You would reveal to me the ways that I could do good for them to touch their lives in a way that has transforming power. Lord may I extend my heart and hands in love to those who are spiteful, annoying and have disappointed me. May I always remember Your amazing love for me even when I'm disagreeable, prideful, and stubborn. With praise I thank You.  When I look in to the face of the one who wounded me, may it be as I'm seeing through Your eyes of compassion having mercy and grace. I pray Lord Jesus that all would live by Your example so there may be peace on earth. Let that peace begin with me. Bless You Father for caring enough to lift the burden of trying to earn Your acceptance, for striving to receive forgiveness and the gift of Your Son who payed my debt. You have shown me how to love with out condition, fill me with Your Spirit that I may do the same. Jesus, I love You, In Your name, Amen.

Matthew 5:6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I question do I really hunger after righteousness?  I know sometimes my thought are not like Your thought, nor are my ways like Yours. Jesus Your ways are higher and better. At times I'm quite alright with the little foxes that spoil the vine, thinking it too much effort to make the subtle changes in my thinking and actions.  My righteousness is like filthy rags, forgive me and wash me clean. You Lord are righteous and love righteousness. O' God, in You there is NO corruption, debauchery, depravity, disgrace, crookedness, dishonesty, immorality, vileness, rottenness, meanness or wickedness. I pray Lord to think rather on these things that You are; true, noble, just, pure, lovely, virtuous and peaceful. Lord Jesus I thank You for laying Your cloak of righteousness upon me so my sin is covered and can stand before the Father. Because of You Jesus, He looks on me with eyes of love. This is the righteousness I thirst for, to be filled with Almighty God's love and Spirit. Lord I pray for others to know that through the knowledge of righteousness they will be delivered. I pray Lord that the integrity of the the upright will guide them to Your mercy and grace. I pray Lord to sow virtue, to pursue purity and my thoughts and actions would be Your delight. Let all complacency pack their bags and move on out of this precious life You have given to me. Increase the hunger in me to not be satisfied with produce that is bruised, but let the palatable fruits of peace, love, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control be without spot or blemish all my days and for Your glory. In the perfect name Jesus, Amen.

Matthew 5:5
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Good morning. Today Lord I commit to Your ways, trusting in You and Your goodness. You shall bring forth righteousness as the light, and justice as the noonday. Lord You know the desires of my heart so I will wait patiently for You. I pray Lord not to fret over seeing those who do not walk with You prosper in their wicked ways. Let not jealousy or envy rise up in me as I cling to Your promises. You have said "For evildoers shall be cut off;  but those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the earth." My hope is in yielding and delighting in You, I shall have an abundance of peace. Lord I have been young and now am older and can say that I've not seen the righteous forsaken. You do not leave their descendants begging for bread. I pray Lord to have the strength to depart from evil and do what is good. Let my mouth speak wisdom, my tongue talk of justice.and may Your ways be in my heart. Thank You Jesus that You exalt those who wait on You for Your timing is always perfect for the blessings to come. Father I pray for those who are being challenged by the things of this world that seem so shiny and desirable, but turn to rust and dust. Open their eyes to see what You have called good and satisfying. May we not look to the right or the left and compare what other may have, but give thanks and praise for the abundance You have given to us. Father may my spirit be docile and teachable to follow after Jesus, the way that lead to life. Living in a manner to be blessed with the inheritance of the kingdom that is to come. The wicked Lord may plot against the just, but You Lord laugh at him. Thank You that Your protection is over Your people today, covering them in the precious blood of the Lamb so all evil would pass over us. Father I pray that Your Spirit will fill Your children today that we may serve You with meekness. Submitting our heart and surrendering our hand and feet to be ready to do Your will. In the blessed name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.

Matthew 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Blessed be God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. You are the Father of mercy and the God of all comforts. Father You are the One who comforts us in all our tribulations. Thank You Lord that by knowing You and by the power of Your Holy Spirit I may be used to bring solace to those who are troubled. Let our hope be in You for You have partaken of suffering and have given us consolation. Father sometimes our burdens seem beyond measure, draining us of all strength, bringing us into despair. But Your love Lord soothes the grief and eases the heart that aches.Thank You Lord that one day You will wipe away all tears from our eyes. There will be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, there shall be no more pain, for the former things will pass away. And Jesus who sits on the throne will says " Behold, I make all things new." Jesus You are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end the bright and morning star.  I pray Lord for all those who weep and mourn the loss of loved ones, death of a dream, suffer the disappointment of the ending of a marriage, or our separated from a dear one serving in the military. Father, it is so hard to grasp the depth of another suffering, to truly know the ache of an other's heart. Only when we are ourselves have endured a loss, we can be use as the loving arms to be wrapped around those in pain. Lord I pray out of the deep well of my own heart, which was dug by life's trials and challenges, Your love would spring forth to bring hope and restoration. You have called me to share good tidings to the poor, to help bind up broken hearts. Letting them know You will give them the oil of joy for mourning, beauty for ashes, and a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Thank You Lord that even in the midst of the deepest sorrows You are there by the power of the Holy Spirit. Let the people see through their tear filled eyes that distort the view of who You are and the gift that You have given. I pray for all those who are heavy laden to cast their cares upon You, for You care for them so much. Lord may they not run from You but straight into Your arms and the promise they shall be comforted. Bless You Jesus for the times in my life that I could crawl up into Your loving care and let out gut wrenching cries of anguish and You did not flinch or turn away, Your amazing love was a warm gentle embrace that cradled me in peace, telling me You understood, and let the healing begin. I love You Jesus with all that is in my little tattered heart.  In the name of Christ, Amen.

Matthew 5:3
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Dear Heavenly Father, 
By Your hand all things have been made, and exist. You have said there is one thing You look upon with eyes of love, it is that of a broken and contrite spirit, one that trembles at Your Word. Those who are proud in their heart are an abomination to You. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. You have said "it is better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud."  Lord I pray that I would heed Your wise words and live in the way that is good. Lord in Your mercy and truth the atonement is provided for my iniquities. Lord forgive me for the pride that rises up in my heart, I desire that my spirit would be humble coming under Your submission and authority.  I bow my head and bend my knee to You Jesus, my Lord, Savior and King. Your Kingdom is not of this world. I pray Lord we all would see the areas of our boasting and bragging of our self, not acknowledging You. Lord Jesus soften the hard of hearts to have revelation that what we think we have achieve on by our own hands was not with out Your sovereignty. Father may all come to know that unless it is done for Christ it will not remain. I pray Lord  for those who try to fill their lives with accomplishment, awards, positions of authority, worldly possession, so they may think more highly of themselves then they ought and are denying You of the glory. Forgive me Lord for the time I've given You the second billing instead of making You the headliner when sharing with others the good things You have blessed me with.  I pray that through our brokenness we would be blessed with the kingdom of heaven, where there are no more tears, no more suffering. a place of peace, where all striving cease. Thank You Lord that You are long suffering and patient with me and others. As we learn a grow in Your will and ways.  Lord Jesus, You are the perfect example of poor when You laid down Your life for us. Holy Spirit have Your way in and through me today. I surrender all, may I be obedient to the sound of Your voice and live in a way that is pleasing and acceptable to You. May all glory and honor be Yours today and every day. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Matthew 4:24
Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon possessed, epileptics and paralytics; and He healed them.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Coming before You with thanks and praise may I call upon Your name and make known Your deeds among the people! Jesus You are the same today as yesterday, and will be tomorrow. You have healed many that have live before us. Let me sing psalms to You and talk of Your wondrous works! Jesus there is glory in Your Holy name. Lord let the hearts of those rejoice who seek Your strength, and Your face remembering the marvelous works You have done. Father by the power of Your Spirit, and the finished work of the Cross where Christ died and was raised from the dead, heal the many I bring before You today. I lay them down at Your loving feet, You know each one by name, the illness, afflictions and the things that plague them, keeping them from living life to the fullest. Jesus You are all mighty and powerful You made the lame to walk, the deaf to hear and the mute to talk, You reduce fevers, cleanse lepers, stop the flow of  blood and open the barren womb. Lord Jesus You do miracles, there is no one else capable, reveal Yourself as healer to those who are in need of a touch, that glory, honor and praise will come to You as we lift You high above all things of this world. I pray Lord that our soul focus would be on You, we have no need for any other form of fulfilment. You are the way, the truth and the life. Lord please lean Your ear to hear the heart cry of a mother and father whose child is seriously ill, have mercy on them and by Your infinite grace heal their child from the top of their sweet light heads to the sole of their darling little feet, may they be the next generation to bring glory to You, loving and serving You all their days. Father, comfort those who are sitting bed side of their loved ones, if they do not know You at this sensitive time. Send believers to share the gospel and bring reconciliation in the their hearts. Thank You Lord that You hear this prayer of intercession and come quickly to perform healing of the most magnificent kind that only You can do. I love You Lord. Thank You, in Jesus name I pray, Amen

Matthew 8:15
So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them.

Lord Jesus I will praise You with my whole heart. Before the gods I will sing praises to You. I will worship You towards Your Holy Temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth. For You have magnified Your word above all Your name. In the day when I cried out, You answered me. And made me bold with strength in my soul. Thank You Lord for Your outstretched hand that healed me. You have revived me in the midst of my trouble. Your mercy, O Lord endures forever. You have not forsaken the work of Your hand.

You Lord are our comforter, the great Physican, the only High Priest, the only one worthy of praise and my best friend. Bless You Lord for all the  encouraging health reports, the diagnosis of healed, the negative pathologies, for stopping the spreading of infections and delivering the weary. Thank You Lord for all who are serving You in the medical field, bless them today with a special touch and fresh anointing. In Your great and glorious name, Jesus Amen.

Matthew 2:8

And he sent them to Bethlehem and said , "Go and search carefully for a young Child, and when you have found Him bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also."

Dear Heavenly Father,
My heart is sad for so many are content for me to seek You, desiring to glean from my intimacy with You all the while missing out on what You have for them. Lord, I love to share all the great and wonderful things You have done. Your forgiveness is better than anything of this world.  But my heart is heavy for so many go about their business settling to living in the world that is superficial and cold; missing out on the warmth of Your amazing love that can only come from spending time with You. Father I pray that by the power of Your Holy Spirit You would open their eyes to see these action are not far from what Herod the king did when he sent the wisemen to find the Messiah. He did not what to come to repentance and turn from his own sinful nature and ask for Your amazing mercy and grace. He  desired power, prestige, popularity and prosperity for his own gain, all the while missing out on true love, peace and joy that are the greatest of all possessions. Jesus, You are the King of kings, the way the truth and the life, there is none, no, not one like You.  Better is one day in Your courts than a thousand else where. Hear my heart cry out that all would give thanks to You for Your goodness. I pray many would call upon Your name Jesus and You will answer them. Deliver and honor them with long life, may they remain steadfast and know Your salvation. Father, thank You that You have called to me and opened my ears to hear the sound of love. Thank You for Your Son the Lord of my life, I crown Him with many crowns, for there is none above Him.  Jesus I love You with all my heart. Thank You for opening the door and letting me in when I knocked, for revealing Your goodness when I searched, and saying "yes child" when I ask for Your forgiveness. Maranatha, Lord come quickly, In name of Jesus, Amen.

Matthew 3:17

And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

 I shall sing a new song to the Lord of all the earth. Bless His Holy name. I pray Lord to proclaim the good news of salvation from day to day. To declare Your glory among the nations, Your wonders among the people. For You Lord Jesus are great and greatly to be praised. Lord teach me to fear You above all gods. For the gods of this world are idols to the people. But You Oh Lord made the heavens.  Honor and majesty are before You, while strength and loveliness are in Your sanctuary. Lord may my praises to You be an offering as I come into Your courts. Lord, my heart worships You in the beauty of Holiness, with trembling and awestruck wonder I stand naked before You, giving thanks for Your hand is in the deep places of my heart. Bless You for Your chastening that reassures me of Your unfailing love. Lord forgive me for stiffening my neck in rebellion, when You where testing me. Draw me near Father to Your Son in whom You are well pleased. May my frustration over a situation not grieve You, forgiving me that I did not understand Your way. Lord You have tested and tried me, my response was miserable. Please forgive me so I may come in to Your rest. Father I pray that all would worship and adore Your precious Son Jesus. May our praises be in celebration, contemplation and in obedience to Your will and Your ways for they are higher and better. Father, Jesus is Your Elect One in whom You delight! You have put Your Spirit upon Him to bring forth justice and truth to all humanity. Lord wash us clean in Your precious blood removing all hint of resistance to Your authority so we may be used for Your glory. May You hear all our prayers and supplications for Your mercy and grace to be poured out.  In the name of Almighty God, Redeemer, Christ the Risen King, Hallelujah, Amen.

Romans 10:15

And how shall they preach unless they are sent? as it is written:
"How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!"

Dear Lord, send me. 
May I lift up my voice and not be afraid. May I gently lead those who are young into Your loving arms. May my lips Lord speak of You, the Creator of all things and the one who has called them all by name. Father, I pray to ask them, "Have you not known? Have you not heard? Jesus Christ came and paid your ransom to set you free from sin and death. There is no greater love than this. That God the Father sent His one and Only Son to overcome the world that is in darkness. Jesus is the everlasting God. I pray Lord to have the boldness to ask if they have met You. Have they asked You to be their Lord and Savior. In You all good things flow. I pray for all to know Your peace that far out passes all understanding. That by taking a small step of faith You would change their lives forever. Father, the desire of my heart is that all would be saved. Have mercy Lord on those who have not heard the truth of the Gospel of peace, that Jesus came to bring glad tidings of good things. Father, Your Word describes Your Son in part this way, He is this and so much more: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Your love Lord Jesus never fails! As I read over this list Father, I know I've failed on many accounts, I pray my lips and heart continually thank You for Jesus' shed blood that covers my sin and blesses me with forgiveness, so that I may fellowship with You. In thanksgiving I know You hear my prayers and petitions. Thank You Father for Your Son and filling me with Your Spirit to guide me in all ways and putting in my mouth what You have for me to speak. Jesus be lifted high and glorified today in all I do and say, may my feet walk in Your beautiful peace. In Your Holy name, Christ, Amen.

Malachi 3:17

"They shall be Mine." says the Lord of host, "On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him."

O' God You are my God, early I will seek You, my soul thirsts for You and my flesh longs for You, because Your loving kindness is better than life. May the praise on my lips bless You while I live. I lift my hands in Your name, reaching out to touch You. Thank You Father that You have said I shall be Yours forever, for there is no other place I'd rather be than in the courts of Your Holy Temple.  May my hands and heart serve You day and night never letting my candle be extinguished, but burn bright for all to see the great and glorious thing You have done in me. May I proclaim Your goodness to all people telling them You have called me out of darkness and in to Your marvelous light. I did not know mercy, but now know Your mercy that endures for ever. The Apostle Peter said "Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against Your soul. Father, by the power of Your Holy Spirit filling me and Your precious children we would not even walk passed the harlots door. A door that could be in the form of worldly goods, sexual desires, and accolades from the world around us, things that entice the eyes and stir up covetousness in our souls that only bring satisfaction for a brief moment but leave us feeling hollow and empty inside. Instead Lord fill us to overflow with Your Spirit to bring gratification of the ultimate kind. Peace, and joy that only can be relished by a soul that resting in You, Jesus Messiah, the Lord of the Sabbath. Thank You Jesus for calling to me, opening my ears to hear the sweet sound of Your voice. How good and gracious You are and Your loving kindness is like blanket of love wrapped around me. I pray Lord that You would gather more jewels sparing them from an eternity apart from You. Make them Your treasures possession that will serve and love You all their days. In Jesus name. Amen.
