James 1:8

...he is a double minded man, unstable in all his ways.

       

Dear Heavenly Father,

Your beautiful and perfect Son spoke these words when He went into Your temple, “It is written 'My house shall be called a house of prayer.'” They did as we are now doing, making it a 'den of thieves'. Forgive us Lord for saying we want to do what is pleasing to You, yet we turn to the business of business and/or our perpetual pursuit of pleasure, forsaking Your call to pray. Forgive us for being double minded, asking for Your blessings but going about our lives unchanged and untouched by Your great love and mercy. May all those who are spiritually blind and lame in their walk with You come and be healed. May we rejoice proclaiming “Hosanna, to the Son of the Most High God!” Jesus, may I take the rebuke You spoke to Martha, when You said “Martha, Martha, your worried and troubled about many things, but one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” Lord as I sit daily with Your word I'm forever grateful for all You have lovingly taught me, more importantly it is the knowing of Your word that blesses me with the understanding of who You are. Father, it is in the knowing of Your heart that I may pray without ceasing on behalf of my loved ones. Not praying a miss, with doubt but with faith because Your word is true and You are faithful. I pray for Your people to seek Your face, be filled with Your Holy Spirit, know You deeply and ask with confidence that You will tend to their needs great and small. I thank You Lord that You have patiently waited as I have stammered in communication, unsure of what and how to ask for Your blessings in various situations. Thank You for Your long suffering while training up this child in the way I should go so I won't depart from it. May You bless all Your children with the gift of wisdom, knowledge and discernment to intercede on our knees in prayer on the behalf of our loved ones, friends, acquaintances, and strangers bringing glory and honor to You Our Lord and Savior. In the name of our Good Shepherd Jesus Christ, I give thanks with a single mind. Amen.

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

 

Dear Heavenly Father,

I put my simple trust in You. Turn my eyes from things that are lofty and empty. May my heart not be haughty thinking I could attain things unworthy of Your blessing. May I not concern myself with great matters that are beyond my control, or things that are to profound for my limited understanding. But lovingly place them in Your gracious hands. May my soul be quieted and calmed by Your Spirit to lead a life that is absent of noise and bustle. Aspiring to live a peaceable life. Father if that entails laying down an influx of media may I have the obedience to do so. Likewise may I not be overly concerned with others affairs, just carry them in prayer for Your love to wash over them. You have remembered my affliction, and comforted my in my hours of great need. Bless You my Lord for Your tender mercies, You have taught me much. I bless You and thank You for the disease that has turn my life around for in it I have found great comfort in You. My heart thanks Jesus for You have called me out of the land of frantic pace which leave us all feeling rushed, troubled and impatient. May I not spend one more day amongst the striving, look at me, self absorbed world, but silently with sweet serenity sit in the beauty of holiness, even as my hands go about the work of the day. May the simple work of my daily rounds be an offering to You. Father I pray for my family and friends to find the much need peace and quiet. May they hear the sound of Your amazing still small voice leading them the way they should go. To just love and adore You, worrying not a moment more. May they find refreshing while bathing themselves in the beautiful surrounding You have created. May their eyes be wide open to see all the wonders that are only You. May we all come to You as little children with awe and amazement. Lord Jesus thank You for engulfing me and those who love You dearly in Your abundant of peace by the power of Your Holy Spirit. May all taste and see You are good. Your ways are truly higher and better. Bless You Father for another day to live, love and laugh. In Jesus holy name, Amen.

...teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,...
   
Dear Heavenly Father,
Giving thanks for Your grace that brings salvation. Your beautiful Son Jesus appeared to men once coming to save us from our sins, and the second time He will come in glory and reign. I pray for all who truly believe Jesus is Messiah to have the strength and determination to resist the devil who wants to ensnare us in things of this world. May our lives be a reflection of Your holiness, that captives others to desire the same. Father may we renounce ungodly living, saying NO to worldly passions, and yes to a life lived self-controlled, and upright looking forward to the blessed hope and glorious appearing of You our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. You gave Yourself for us, that You may redeem us from every lawless deed, purifying for Yourself Your own special people, zealous for good works. By the power of Your Holy Spirit may Your children speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Father I pray we would be more concerned with our brothers and sisters eternal reward than a moment in time when we are call to bring correction, not fearing the rejection from those we love dearly. I pray Lord You would quicken the learning in my own heart, who may abide in Your Tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your Holy hill? May I walk upright, do works that are towards righteousness, speak truth in my heart, not backbiting with my tongue, do no evil to my neighbor, not taking up reproach against a friend, hating what You hate, and honoring those who fear You. Forgive me for the times in the past I knowingly or unknowingly did this things that sinned against Your good and perfect will. May I go on to love You will all my heart, mind, soul and strength. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

Bless You Holy Father for the gift of Your precious Son, with Him is an abundance of redemption. Oh that the lost should turn and put their hope in You who shall redeem them from all their iniquities. Out of the depths of me I cry out to You Lord giving thanks that You would hear my voice. May Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. Anoint the lips of Your faithful to proclaim to those in rebellion there is forgiveness found in You. Oh Father may the people know You do not mark or keep count of our sins but through the sacrifice and provision of Your one and only Son Jesus Christ, You pardon and dismiss our transgressions. May we rejoice and praise You day and night for this awesome freedom. I pray Lord for those who believe in You but are condemning themselves daily, over and over, reliving in their minds past errors, may they find rest. Your word is true as far as east is from the west, which is very far and never they meet, their sins are truly no more. Father I pray to be like Anna who waited expectantly for the Your promised Messiah. I know Lord without a doubt You will come again in glory. She had the delight to hold You as a infant child, but I have the great privilege and honor to hold You in my heart. May I tell everyone I meet both young and old of Your grace. And Your love for them, coming to rescue them from sin and shame. May my testimony be a reminder of how You delight in those who expectantly wait for Your return. Bless You Lord Jesus, even in the wait You do wonderful things. Father I pray we may touch lives together. May Your Spirit bless the words uttered from my lips and You save them. I give thanks for the rejoicing in heaven at sinners coming home. Thank You Lord that to day is the day of salvation of many souls. In Your powerful, precious and perfect name Jesus, Amen.

And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word.

    

Dear Heavenly Father,

Forgive us we no not what we do. World view or Word absolute? I pray Lord to be counted in the numbers who follow You. Not faltering, wavering or debating what to do in any circumstance but hold fast to Your Word and every word of it. By the power of Your Holy Spirit living within me may I stand firm and speak “It is You Lord Jesus in whom I shall serve.” May those who do not believe call on the name of their god, but I shall call on the name of the Lord; and the God who answers by fire, You Lord Jesus are God! I pray for those who live in the way of so called social correctness, who are not kingdom minded, open their eyes to the truth. May we not stand silent in a land that is spinning out of control and further away from Your love, and mercy but rebuke even our brothers and sisters spurring them on to honor You with everything. I bless You Lord for drawing me to Your side. I thank You that my place with You is forever. Father I pray for those who have heard the truth yet turn to their former rituals having no reverence or fear of Your awesome greatness. May they turn from the carved images, and embrace Your grace. I pray they will know longer teach their children and their children’s children the way that leads to death. I pray Lord that my voice will be as the actions of Hezekiah who did what was right and removed the high places, broke the sacred pillars, cut down the wooden images smashing them to pieces. May my mouth cut to the quick of materialism, pride, selfish ambition and the like setting them free. Jesus You are the way the truth and the light. May all my trust be in You to go boldly before others speaking life. All my days here on earth Lord I pray I will not depart from following You. Father protect Your children who walk, live and love for You, proclaiming the good news, keep them strong and of good courage. May they rest knowing there is a great reward awaiting them, and all that they do for You shall prosper. Please lean Your ear Father to hear my plea for the safety of Your precious sons and daughters around the globe. May they continue to do good works for Your glory. Father, as for me and my house we shall serve You. In the powerful and mighty name of Jesus, I give thanks and pray, Amen.

And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works...

     

Dear Holy Father,

You have said bless is the one who makes the Lord their trust. You do not to respect the proud. Keep my eyes from the things of the world. Call Your children nearer, keep them from all forms of idolatry. May we rejoice that we may proclaim the good news of righteousness, not only in the great assembly but to the least of these. May we not restrain our lips Lord or conceal our love for You but speak the truth of Your Holy Word. Father I pray You will continue to knit Your precious sons and daughters together as a cord of three strand is not easily broken. May Your people continue to go with the multitudes into Your house, remembering the things You have taught. May we spur each other on to do good works and love on another. Recalling the teaching of Your gracious and merciful Son Jesus Christ as He spoke about the good Samaritan who had compassion on the man laying wounded and stripped of his belongings on the side of the road. But Jesus You showed the greatest mercy for us forgiving and blessing us with eternal life. Without contemplating the cost, You just generously lavishing Your love on us poor, wounded and dying souls on the sidewalk of life. Bless You for generously pouring out oil to soothe our wounds and wine to disinfect us. Thank You Lord Jesus for carrying us to the Fathers house and paying our fee for our forever lodging. Lord Jesus may we live as You have live and love as You love, following Your command to “Go and do likewise.” Lord pour out Your Spirit to causing us to rise up and encourage one another to do great things for Your kingdom and glory. Forgive me Lord for the times I shut my heart to those in need. Have mercy on my wretched soul. May we turn from our selfish instinct not to be like a certain priest, or the Levite who saw the hurting and walk away doing nothing. Open our eyes and ears Lord to hear even the faints cries of those who are abused and neglected. Father I pray to not be a person who just studies Your word and then goes about my daily rounds unchanged. Open my heart Lord to give to those who have been trapped by circumstances beyond their control. Anoint my lips to speak truth in to those who consistently make poor choice and are baffled by the out come. Thank You Lord for those whom You have sent into my life to teach me how to make corrections and adjustments for better living. Bless them for considering, loving and doing go work for me. Bless You Jesus for You are brilliant, amazing and magnificent. In Your name I give thanks and pray, Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I lift up to You all Your precious daughters that continually serve You both night and day. Tirelessly tending to the needs of their families, friends and neighbors bless them with renewed strength and endurance to finish all they have been called to do. Their love and devotion to You Lord Jesus is inspiring. Grant them time at Your loving feet, soaking in Your presence. I pray Lord for the women who are like Mary Magdalene who You've healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna and other over the centuries who provide for Your church from their substance may they be blessed with the deepest desires of their beautiful hearts. Father I pray for the ladies both young and old who are just coming to the truth of Your forgiveness, may they go on to love much. May my own body, soul and spirit along with all my strength never cease in kissing Your feet. Open our eyes to see the areas of our lives we forget to serve You our King. May we never think more highly of ourselves, remembering to put on our aprons and care for the concerns of others. Father pour out Your Holy Spirit on Your children who are grandmothers, mothers, daughters, grand and great granddaughters, sisters, aunts and cousins to continue to do Your will and walk in Your ways. May Your light shine in and through them bring glory to You Jesus. Use them Lord to transform the lives of others by their nurturing touch. Let each and every daughter know how fearfully and wonderfully made they are and so precious in Your sight. Thank You Lord Jesus for hearing my prayers, come quickly pouring Your living water on the women who are walking in the wilderness of their lives. May they know You are the God that sees them just as You saw Hagar in the desert. May we continue to walk before You blameless robed in the righteousness of Christ. May we as bold as Rehab when she hide the Your men. Trusting that You are faithful, may we fear not but only to be strong and good courage, for You are with us wherever we go. Bless You Jesus for You are gracious and good, that praising You shall be continually on our lips. In Your holy name I give thanks. Amen.

Truly Lord Jesus You is the Son of God who will come again in glory! Pour out Your Spirit on this generation and the generations to come. May they be baptized in the name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, declaring they are a new creation.

You didn't have to give such an awesome gift, but You did. May every day be like Christmas day, with celebrations of appreciation for endowment of Your love. Thank You, thank You! I pray You know how much I adore You, Jesus, Amen.

Hebrews 3:7

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden Your hearts in rebellion...

          

Dear Heavenly Father,

For far too long I have wondered the wilderness, never coming into Your rest in a certain area of my life. Over and over again, You have watched as I struggled to do things in my own strength. I confess to You my heart was hardened through deceitful sin of self-sufficiency. While holding on to Your promise I grew impatient with the wait, stepping out on my own trying to heal what ails me. This has truly kept me from Your peace. It was not disbelief that You Jesus died for my sin, I am thankful, it was not unbelief You rose from the dead, I rejoice in this truth! I wouldn't say I have doubt You will come again; I pray You will return soon. Asking for Your forgiveness in my doubting You would heal me again, I'm confessing I have finally come to the place of complete exhaustion in my own efforts and total surrender to Your will. My unbelief is in my own intellect, and my ability to overcome the challenges without You. I need You Lord Jesus. Carry me please. Sprinkle my evil conscience with Your precious blood and wash my body with pure water. You word God is living and powerful, and sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing me even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discern-er of my thoughts and intents of my heart. My life Lord is exposed and defenseless before You, this area of life has been a blind spot hidden by the shadows of pride please forgive me. May I hold fast to my confession of hope and faith in You by the power of the Holy Spirit. Lord Jesus You who promised and are faithful and I believe You will do it. You have never left nor forsaken me. I pray Lord for all those who have similar struggles of letting go and putting all trust in You may they have victory today through You sweet Jesus. Blessing and praying in Your name, Amen.

1 John 1:5

This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness as all.

  
Dear Jesus the Light of the world,
I pray Lord for even deeper understanding of brightness of Your moral character. You Lord God are holy, untouched by evil or sin. I pray Lord for those who do not comprehend that they need to be washed by Your precious blood and wrapped in Your robe of righteousness to have loving and sweet fellowship with You. Let us not say with our mouths we adore You all the while doing things different from the way You have said is good. Father please pour a fresh anointing on Your people by the power of Your Holy Spirit to continue to do Your will. May we Lord be reflections to the world of Your beautiful nature. Empower us Lord to practice and live in Your truth. You Lord Jesus do not compromise to accommodate sin, nor should we, but rise to Your call to holiness. Thank You Lord for teaching us the way we should go that we may not depart from it. Thank You Lord for freedom from guilt, the unwelcome guest that clings to us. How great and glorious the good news is, to know the truth that sets us free. For whom You set free Jesus is free indeed. I so have come to appreciate the act of confession, that works against the worst part of my nature. You know the part I mean Lord, the way I think myself better than I ought. Bless You Lord for a fresh start. May Your light shine in and through me lighting up the dark corners of another life. I pray today You will set many more captives free, may there be rejoicing in heaven at sinners coming home. Jesus I praise, love and adore You. In Your holy name, Amen.

Isaiah 6:3

And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!”

      

Dear Holy Father,

You who are the most holy, to think upon the intensity of Your greatness, causes the doors of my heart to be shaken. There is no words Lord to describe Your holiness. As I gaze out the window my thoughts are overcome because truly the whole earth is filled with Your glory! I am awestruck by this! Even though You are totally different from us, perfect in every way, Your mercy still reaches down to take care of us. May I praise You Lord! Yes, praise the name of the Lord! Blessed be Your name Jesus forevermore! May we praise You from the rising of the sun to its going down, oh that Your name Jesus shall be praised. You Lord are above the nations, and Your glory above the highest heavens. Who is like the Lord our God, who dwells on high, who humbles Himself to draw near to us. Father, as I think about the seraphim being in Your presence, their humbleness is in such contrast with my pride. I am brought to my knees by their understanding that with You there is no room for spectacles, ostentatious, and showy displays, no reason for pride. They have six wings, that are not used to flutter about and draw attention to themselves. Two are used to cover their faces and two to cover their feet before You. All human egotism is mocked by the behavior of these angels. I pray Lord today to leave my pride behind to worship You in spirit and truth in quiet submission. Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am of unclean lips, and dwell in the midst of people of unclean lips. For my eyes have seen the risen King, the Lord of Host and Christ has forever changed me. Behold the Lord Jesus has touched me and taken away my iniquity and my sins are purged. I rejoice Lord and desire to answer the call “Whom shall I send, and who will go?” I say to You Father, “Here I am, send me.” May You bless my lips to tell all the world the good news, He Lives, Christ Jesus lives!!! Open the ears that are heavy, pierce the heart that is dull and open their eyes to see Your glory by the power of Your Holy Spirit! Thank You Jesus for giving Your life to pay my random so I may spend eternity with You my King. I love You with all that is in my little heart. In You Holy name I pray, Amen.

Romans 6:14

For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, 

but under grace.

      

Dear Holy Father,

I lift up to You all those who wonder is holiness for them. You Lord are our God and may we consecrate ourselves to You and be holy as You are Holy. Jesus Your loving and kind words to the women caught in adultery to go and sin no more. Your grace and mercy covering our confessed sin is an awesome gift, may we rejoice in it daily. Turning from the things You find unclean such as; covetousness, maliciousness, being filled with envy, strife, deceit, backbiting, pride and boasting. Father as we repent of our unloving ways may we taste the sweetness of Your goodness. Bless You Jesus for bearing our sins and shame. I pray not to just be satisfied with the day of salvation but to continually be changed and transformed by Your holy word. To walk in Your will for our sanctification and abstain from immorality. Answering the call to holiness not uncleanness. May we be reminded that he who rejects this does not reject man, but You Lord Jesus who has given us Your Holy Spirit. I pray we do not conform to our former passions as we did in our ignorance, but conduct ourselves as men and women of God. May Your truth continue to go forth blessing all those who receive it with an open and humble heart. Thank You Lord for leaning Your ear to hear my prayers in Jesus loving name. Amen.

Yet He is not partial to princes, nor does He regard the rich more than the poor; for they are all the work of His hands.

   

Give ears to the wise Lord so they may have knowledge. May we know Lord what is good. Just as the palate tastes food for its goodness, may our ears test the words we hear. Bless Your children with the gift of discernment. The ability to choose the way of justice by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Father, keep us from walking with the workers of iniquities and may we not lie concerning what is right. Grant us Lord the strength to turn from those who speak “Delighting in You profits nothing.” You Lord Jesus do no wickedness. And You repay man according to his work. Make us Lord to find reward in Your ways. Bless You Lord, for You will never pervert justice. You have charge over all the earth. If You Lord where to gather unto Yourself, Your Spirit and Your breathe all flesh would perish and return to dust. Oh Lord may all know You are great and greatly to be praised. In You we have are living. Soften the harden hearts of those who fail to receive the truth. Jesus You are the way to everlasting life. May those who have understanding rejoice for they are fearfully and wonderfully made. Have mercy on those who do not comprehend, You have created them for Your purpose and glory. Turn them Father to the truth of our frailty and need for a Savior. If they where to perish in the middle of the night they will be blessed, having already surrendered themselves in to Your loving care, turning from pride, self sufficiency, and doubt to receive forgiveness only given by Your precious and beautiful Son Jesus Christ, they may rejoice for they will be in paradise with You. I thank You Lord for the gift to know there is a God size hole in my heart with a reserve sign for You only. Nothing I do or try can fill the void in me. I rejoice and give thanks, for You Jesus are my cup and portion and it overflows with Your goodness. Bless You Jesus for hearing my prayer for the lost and hurting captives, not showing preference to those who think they are more worthy than they ought. Thank You Lord for loving the broken and contrite heart, healing them and giving them peace that far out passes all our simple understanding. Lord Jesus thank You for loving me and not passing over me in the miry pit, but reaching down and pulling me out. I pray as my tears flow down my cheek with gratitude, they will wash Your tender, caring hands giving You thanks with each drop. May all my days be spent dancing straight into eternity with You. In Your Holy name Jesus I pray, Amen.

Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

  

Dear Heavenly Father,

I pray to follow in Your way, to consecrate myself to You. To be holy as You are holy. Father I surrender all into Your loving and kind hands. Father I pray You will give ear to my voice when I cry out to You. Let my prayers be set before You as incense and the lifting up of my hands as evening sacrifice. Lord please set a guard over my mouth keeping watch over my lips. May my heart not be inclined to evil things. Not practicing wicked works, or be with those who work iniquity. Father, by the power of Your Holy Spirit may I not eat of their delicacies. Lord Jesus may my eyes be set upon You in whom I take refuge from the things of this world. Keep me Lord Jesus along with all of Your children, young and old alike from traps set by those workers of iniquities. Keeping us from the snares they lay before us. I pray Lord that the wicked shall fall into their own nets. I pray we will fully understand to be Holy as You are Holy we must be less concern about our victory over sin but to have revelation of how sin grieves You. May we walk in obedience to Your will. Father let not bitterness spring us and cause trouble in our personal lives or in the lives of those around us. I pray not to give over my birth right for a bowl of stew so to speak but keep from things that defile the soul causing much regret. Lord be with me this day, walk with me and talk with me and tell me I am Your own. Lead me and Your people in the way that is right for Your name sake. I love You Lord Jesus, Amen.
