Isaiah 55:6

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

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

Ecclesiastes 1:1

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

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

Luke 6:45

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

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

Luke 7:45

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

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

Dear Lord Jesus Christ,
I just want to praise You today. No petitions, or supplications, just praise You for the wonderful things You do. Your generosity beyond measure. My cup runs over with Your goodness.

May those in heaven praise You in the highest heights. Praise the Lord all You angels and His hosts! Lord God You have made a decree that shall not pass away. Thank You Jesus for the new song in my heart! Bless You Lord for You will beautify the humble with salvation. Let us rejoice in our Maker! Oh Lord how I love You because You first loved me.

1 Thessalonians 5:11

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

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

1 Corinthians 16:14

Let all that you do be done with love.

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

Mark 2:28

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

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

Proverbs 11:30

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

1 Timothy 6:6

Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

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

John 10:14

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

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

Isaiah 28:12

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

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

Zechariah 3:4

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

Dear Heavenly Father, 
Thank You for the blessing of sound wisdom and discretion. They are life to my soul and grace to my neck. They keep me walking safely in Your ways.

James 1:27

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

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

Luke 1:47

And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

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

1 Thessalonians 4:11

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

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

Mark 6:2

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

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

Zechariah 1:3

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

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

2 Corinthians 13:5

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

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

Luke 19:3

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

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

James 1:18

Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

Dear Heavenly Father, 
I pray for my beloved brethren to not be deceived, but rejoice in the knowing that every good and perfect gift is from above and comes down from You Father, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.  Father I pray for all those who are obedient to the great commission to go and preach the Gospel, grant them boldness by the power of Your Holy Spirit to speak the truth of Your Word. When spoken may the heart of the hearer already be open to heed these things. Just as You did for Lydia when she heard Paul in the city of Thyatira. No more to be deceived by empty words or promises of the world. May there be much rejoicing today for those who once where in darkness but are now in Your light of Your love. Father for whom You foreknew, You also predestined to be conformed to the image of Your Son. Thank You Lord for the revelation that it is by grace we have been saved through faith, and not of ourselves but a gift from You. Lord I pray, we shall not boast of our own labors but give thanks for we are Your workmanship. We are new creations in Christ for good works, which You have prepared for us beforehand. Therefore, I pray for us all Lord to be imitators of You and walk in love, as You Christ Jesus have loved us and given Yourself as an offering and sacrifice to our Father as a sweet-smelling aroma. May all glory and honor be Your Lord Jesus forever and ever, Amen.

Ephesians 4:25

Therefore, putting away lying. "Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor." for we are members of one another.

Dear Heavenly Father,
The fool has said in his heart, "There in no God."  You Lord look down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, and seek You. Lord Jesus I have trusted in Your mercy. My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because although I was once a sinner, I have put away my sinful ways and You have dealt bountifully with me. There are six things You hate Lord, and yes, seven are an abomination; a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren. Let us be as wise sons and daughters heeding our Fathers instruction. He or she who guards their mouth preserves their life. Remembering a desire accomplished is sweet to the soul. Father thank You for Your Son who died for our sin and the comfort of knowing our lives are hidden in Him. May we set our minds on things above, not on things of the earth. Therefore putting to off all these things; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language, and lying to one another since we have taken off the old man, and put on the new man who is the elect of God, holy and beloved. Father I pray for Your children today to be clothed in tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long suffering. May we bear with one another, forgive one another by the power of Your Spirit living within us. Thank You Lord for Your unending mercy and grace. Thank You Lord for Your precious atoning blood shed for us. Thank You Lord for calling us friend, Thank You Lord for You love. Thank You Lord for hearing our prayers. I love You Lord. Amen.

2 Corinthians 3:9

For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Holy Father of tender mercy and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in our tribulations, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort we ourselves are comforted by You. Father therefore since we have such hope may we use great boldness of speech to speak of the new covenant through Your Son Jesus Christ. May our words freely flow with frankness and courage as we reveal Your righteousness as is written in the holy scriptures. We all have sinned and have fallen short Father, but You have given forgiveness freely by Your grace through the redemption that is in Your beautiful Son Christ Jesus, who You sent forth by propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness. Father I pray for those who believe in the finished work of the cross to continue to walk by faith and not by sight. We Lord are not ashamed of the gospel for it is Your power to salvation for everyone who believes. Strengthen Your Children today to continue to be a blessing to the lost, hurting captives. Those who are living unclean lives following the lusts of their hearts, exchanging the truth of Your saving grace for the lie, and worshiping the creature rather than You our Creator. Father by the power of Your Spirit and the words of our testimony may many turn from sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, envy, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness, violence, pride, unforgiving and the like which are things deserving of death. May we speak of Your goodness, forbearance, and long suffering that will lead those in sin to repentance. Thank You Lord that today is the day of salvation for many. In Your name Jesus I pray, Amen.

Luke 10:25

And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

Blessed be the Lord. Who daily loads us with benefits. The God of our salvation! Our God is the God of our salvation; and to God the Lord escapes from death. Father I pray for all those who ask for You to show them Your ways, and teach them Your paths. Lead them in Your truth so You may be the God of their salvation as well. Lord Jesus I'm grateful for Your tender mercies, loving kindness, and the gift of remembering my sin no more when I turned from my ways and ran in to Your outstretched arms. Lord, loving You with all my heart, mind, soul and strength is easy because You are so good, kind, gracious and faithful. Because You are all these things and so much more it makes the commandment to do so such a wonderful journey through this life. I'm thankful for You opening my eyes to see the error of my limited thinking, and unstopping my ears to hear the truth of Your word that set me free forever. Father I pray for those who desire to know the truth, grant them according to their hearts desire, and fulfill Your purpose that every knee shall bow and tongue confess Jesus is the Lord. May they know the banner over them is love. I pray Lord for those who are financially well off, physically well, and their lives balanced may they have a stirring in their souls for something deeper and more satisfying. May there be an awareness of the empty place in their heart that only You can fill. I pray Lord for them to become uncomfortable with the pleasantries that are superficial, ornamental and fleeting. May they come seeking and asking "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" Oh Lord, I pray You will save and transform them into new creations. May they begin to live lives that revolve around You. Lives that are truly abundant. Thank You Lord for leaning Your ear to hear my prayers in Jesus name, Amen.

Matthew 18:4

Therefore whoever humbles himself like a little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 

Your name alone Lord Jesus shall be exalted. Praises to You our God and King. May the assembly of saints sing a new song as we rejoice and in our Maker. Let the children of Zion be joyful, praising Your name with dance. You Lord take pleasure in Your people. You will beautify the humble with salvation. Father I pray to remember if there is a desire in me to be first, let me be first a servant to all. May we come to You as children, with sincerity, eagerness, and a trusting attitude. Just as a little one who is totally dependent on their parents so shall our dependency be on You. Jesus, I pray for many to receive You so they may become children of God. Believing in Your name to be born again not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man but of You Lord God Almighty. Lord when You who is perfect comes into our lives that which we lived in part will be done away with. Your love never fails. With open arms may we embrace the truth of the greatest gift You have given by example; Your love Lord Jesus suffers long and is kind. It is not envious. You do not parade Yourself, and act all puffed up. You never behave rudely, and only speak what the Father tells You. You are never provoked, and think no evil. Not rejoicing in iniquity but rejoicing in the truth. You believe, hope, bear and endure all things. Truly Lord Jesus, Your love never fails. Father I pray by the power of Your Holy Spirit to abide in faith, hope and love. But above all to share the greatest love of all, Your beautiful Son with the lost and hurting. May I never stop the little children from coming to You, but take them by the hand and lead them to Your precious side. I Love You Lord Jesus, Amen.

2 Corinthians 7:10

For godly sorrows produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

Good Morning Lord,
Thank You for loving me. Blessed am I for my transgressions are forgiven. May sin is covered. Blessed am I for You do not impute iniquity. When I kept silent, my bones grew old, groaning all the day long. My vitality turned into the drought of summer. Your hand was heavy upon me. So with deep sorrow I confessed my sin to You. I did not hide my iniquity any longer, but sought Your forgiveness with all that was in me. Father I come before You asking You to soften the heart of the lost. Open their eyes to the truth. Stir them deep within their spirit to see the need for Your forgiveness. May they run from You not longer but turn and leap into Your loving arms. Lord may we be reminded that Your chosen disciple Peter denied You three times, and wept bitterly with great sorrow. Your love, mercy and grace restored him and set him on a course to do great and mighty things for Your kingdom and glory. Father I pray this morning for all those who think they have fallen or strayed to far, may they take the step of faith, believing that when they come to You with a broken and contrite heart You will welcome them home. Father the greatest miracle of all is the gift of salvation. Thank You for given us Your Son the Savior of the world. May many names be written in the Lambs book of life today so there will be much rejoicing in heaven as sinners are being saved. Thank You Lord for Your faithful children who devote their lives to the spreading of the good news, bless them with the deepest desires of their hearts as they delight themselves in You the lover of our souls. Bless You Lord Jesus for the day of my salvation, I will continual rejoice and be glad. I love You Lord with all that is in me. In Your name I give thanks and pray, Amen.

Mark 4:14

The sower sows the word.

Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; You established the earth and it abides. Your word is pure and Your servant loves it! Father I pray for each word that is sown in love in the wilderness and wasteland of another's life, may it be received with gladness. I pray for those who are in dry and parched desert places, to be watered with Your mercy and grace. So they will rejoice and blossom as a rose. Blooming abundantly so there is joy and singing. You have given seed to the sower, and we shall not be concerned with the condition of the soil of the heart but scatter them liberally. For You have said Lord as Your word goes forth, it shall not return void. But it shall accomplish what You please. Bless all those who believe in You, to go out by the power of Your Holy Spirit with joy and be led by peace to share the good news of salvation through Your atoning blood. May we lift up our eyes and look at the fields that are already white for harvest! May the sower and the reaper rejoice together as they gather fruit for eternal life. May we celebrate by giving thanks and praise to You Lord for You bring the increase. I thank You Lord for my fellow workers who co-labor with me for Your glory. Bless their day today with all good things that come from above. Protect and strengthen them as they put their hands to the plow and when they eat may they be satisfied. I love You Jesus, all glory and honor are Yours for ever and ever. Amen.

And to man He said, "Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding."

Dear Heavenly Father,
Good and upright are You my Lord and God. You teach this sinner the way. You guide the humble in justice. Your paths Lord are mercy and truth. Pardon the iniquities of this nation, for it is many. May You teach the way to those who fear You. So we may dwell in prosperity and our descendants shall inherit the earth. Lord as we fix our hearts and minds upon You may we give our attention to Your Word that speaks of blessings and curses. Remembering the days of old when we were lost in the wilderness. I pray we would diligently keep the things we have seen so they do not depart from our us. Holding fast and clinging to You our Lord and Savior, serving You both night and day. Loving You with all our hearts, minds, souls and strength and having no other gods before You, Almighty God. Father I pray we would honor and keep Your commandments with sincerity and reverence, for You have said it so. May we seek first the Your kingdom and Your righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto us. Lord I call upon You in thanksgiving and praise knowing You are our ever present help in time of need. Speak in to the hearts of our government officials leading and guiding them by the power of Your Holy Spirit in the way they should go. Unite their minds and hearts to do as You command restoring order to this nation. Thank You Lord that You hear the cries of You children and will not leave them begging for bread. Bath this Country in Your perfect peace, and may all glory and honor be Yours forever and ever, In the Holy name of Jesus, Amen.

I come humbly before You in thanksgiving knowing You are in control of all things. May this challenge we are facing as a nation produce patience as we wait upon You for Your guidance.

You Lord are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the author and finisher of our faith, lead us Lord in the way that is right. May we return to the narrow road that leads to life. Restore us to be used as Your hands and feet to the world around us bringing glory and honor to You our wise King. Jesus we need You, intercede on our behalf, we are lost and confused. Your ways Lord our not our ways as we have left You on the outside the door trying to do things on our own. Forgive us Lord for we have sinned against You. May we pray as You have taught us; Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
