James 3:17

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Who is wise and understanding among us? May they be revealed by good conduct that is done in the meekness of wisdom. Let those Lord who have bitter envy and are self-seeking in their own hearts be silent, not boasting or lying against the truth. Help us to understand this type of wisdom is earthly, sensual and demonic because where there is jealousy and selfishness, confusion and every evil thing exist. Lord, I pray each of us would take time to examine our own hearts. And let wisdom not be something we just possess in our minds but lived out in our everyday behavior. May we love without hypocrisy, and may we loathe that which is evil, always clinging to what is good, and that is You, dear Jesus. May we Lord, by the power of Your Holy Spirit be kindly affectionate with brotherly love, remembering to honor, in a way that gives preference to one another. May we serve You with all diligence while rejoicing in hope and patience through tribulations. I pray Lord your children continue steadfast in prayer, being hospitable and caring for the needs of the brethren. Father may we cultivate humility which is the underlining character that brings forth wisdom. Father, it is said when looking to purchase real estate look for location, location, location, so when we desire to be wise, let us begin by being humble, humble, humble, for obedience is the best prospect for attaining a heavenly inheritance. Jesus be the center of all that we do and say. Be glorified in and through our lives, transforming us from the inner, so we are less of us and more of You. Amen.

James 3:13-16, Romans 11:9-13 and John 3:30

Mark 5:34

And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. "Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction."

How often Father we spend much time and money to feel better, and often feel worse. We go from physician to physician, some we like their advice or treatment, while others we don't. But truly Lord I'm grateful for those You have called in to the ministry of healing. I pray that Your wisdom and knowledge of this beautiful world, You have so lovingly created, would lead and guide them to unlock the many mysteries of diseases. I pray that many advancement will continue to be made in this coming year. The answers to research that has been painstakingly slow for many years would now be revealed. Holy Father I pray for those who day after day battle various afflictions, and haven't the strength or determination to keep seeking, asking and knocking for relief from their constant pain. I pray they will press through the crowds of people who boldly enter Your throne room with request, may they receive the healing they so desire and go out in peace. Jesus, You do not heal us because we are wealthy, acclaimed, or even loyal, but just as You said to the women with the issue of blood "Daughter, your faith has made you well." You heal us because we have faith in You and the finished work of the cross. Jesus You are Messiah, the risen One. But, yes many do get healed without giving glory to You, but that is still Your providential healing. And perhaps even Your amazing grace to allow them more time to come to the saving knowledge of You, for it is not Your will that any should perish but all come to repentance. You are such a wise and loving Father, Thank You for opening my eyes early on so I may walk and talk with You, seeking healing, refuge, guidance and blessings from Your loving hand. That beautiful pierced hand of our beloved and precious Son Jesus Christ the Light of the world. In His name I give thanks and praise. Amen. 

Mark 5:25-34 and 2 Peter 3:9

1 Peter 1:6

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Oh Father, I confess sometimes I think I murmurer more than rejoice, forgive me. I confess at times I am grieved by trials and the testing of my faith that seems more than I can bear. I pray that my faith will be found praising, honoring and glorifying You, dear Jesus. Just as You were with the Apostle Paul in the shipwrecks I know You are with me as my vessel is battered on the inside by sickness. I know it is Your supernatural power and grace that carries me through the day. Great is Your faithfulness Lord. I hold fast to the truth one day You shall return on clouds with eyes like fire, there will be no more tear and no more suffering. Jesus, I pray that even though I have yet to see You face to face, my love, belief and trust in You would lead others to desire a relationship with You. I pray that in my hope in You, even though weakness and frailty are displayed in my physical form will give others hope. Oh, Lord I do rejoice because You have saved me from an eternity of torment, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth and the worm never dies. I look forward to the day to be in my new glorified body dancing with You my blessed Savior, Amen.

2 Corinthians 11:25, Revelation 1:7, 19:12 and 21:4, Mark 9:48, Luke 13:28 and Philippians 3:21,

Isaiah 35:2

It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the excellency of our God.

Sometimes Father it is so challenging to imagine when we are in the desert place of life that there is beauty there. Those seasons of financial fruitlessness, loneliness even in the midst of relationships, the barren employment field of no opportunities that are desperately needed or healing that has been restricted and doesn't come. But when we fix our eyes above the hills that seem so hard to climb, looking to You our ever-present help in times of need, You are there. We truly will see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God. Father, by the power of Your Holy Spirit strengthen the weak hands and make firm the feeble knees. Say Lord to those who are fearful in their hearts, be strong, and do not fear! The knowledge of You Jesus our Savior is coming, and justice will be restored in every area of life. Let us rejoice when a stranger leaves a bag of groceries on the front step, an acquaintance greets us with a warm hug, an unexpected refund check appears in the mailbox, or a warm bath is drawn to ease the pain that is relentless. Father, open our eyes to appreciate even the smallest of gifts; the simplicity of mealtime that is satisfied by laughter of loved ones, even if what is on the plate is a pauper's portion, or when the career path takes a sharp turn back down the ladder of so-called success, but the new co-workers are delightful and encouraging. Help us Lord to have compassion for others who are in bleaker situations then we ourselves are experiencing, for we are the buds that You will cause to bloom in the deserts of other lives. May the love we have found in You be the sweet aroma in another's situation bringing with it a renewed sense of hope. May we be glad even in our wilderness and wastelands because You are always with us. May we remember Father to pursue peace, and holiness not allowing the root of bitterness to spring up among or in us. Father, I pray for Your faithful servants who are enduring great trials in their commitment to the spreading of the Gospel. May Your Holy Spirit within them give them peace even when they are tortured, scourged and imprisoned. Father may their selfless sacrifice be first and foremost in our minds when our flesh want to rise us and murmur and complain. Father, please encamp Your mighty angels around those who are in dangerous and life threatening situations, may they be victorious in ever battle. Jesus, bless those who boldly and unashamedly live to glorify You. Be their refuge and strength. In Your powerful name I pray. Amen.

Isaiah 35:3-4 and Hebrews 12:12-17

Job 10:12

You have granted me life an favor and your care has preserved my spirit. 

Heavenly Father,
Many trials have come and gone. Looking back over our lives its easy to see Your loving hand at work transforming us, conforming us in to the image of Your beautiful Son. Your providence continually involved with Your creation. You preserve and govern over us from the least to the greatest to be in accord with Your good and perfect will, bringing glory to You. I marvel at the thought, not one human sinner or demonic power will succeed in rebellion against You but all will come under Your submission and authority. One day every knee will bow and tongue confess "Jesus is Lord". You are triumphant! Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, all praises to You, God of glory, majesty and wonder. May we not trust in our own hearts, but by the power of Your Spirit may we trust in Your truth that lead, guides and assists us in the way the is right. May we not be swept away by superstitions, the irrational awe of the unknown. May our tendency to be too ready to believe something is true, be restored to balance and order. Father let us not be naive of the claims that are made about mysterious religious teachings or supernatural phenomena, may we not be spiritually gullible but grant us wisdom as we test the spirit to see whether they are of You. You have warned us that many false prophets have gone out into the world. Ah, but every Spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God. May we be mindful Lord of those who don't confess this truth that they are the spirit of the Antichrist, which You have told us is coming and is now already here. You Lord Jesus always overrule the evil intentions of every fallen creature. With humble adoration I acknowledge You have so lovingly granted my life favor to see the errors in my thinking, the transgressions I have done and the thoughts that have often lead me far from You, but Your care has preserved my spirit and drawn me to repentance. Thank You Lord for Your promise that You who has started a good work in me and will see it to completion until the day of Your return. Father open the eyes of the brethren to seek You in Your word, open their ears to discern the talk of charlatans who have a willfully erring mouth and are among us. Those who wink their eyes, shuffles their feet, point with their fingers and have stubbornness in their hearts. For there are six thing Father You hate, and seven are an abomination to You. 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 that speaks lies, and one who sows discord among the brethren. Oh Lord have mercy, change the hearts of the deceived, and protect the tender lambs of Your flock, that truly desire for Your will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus name, Amen.

Matthew 10:29

Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from Your Father's will.

The thought Lord that You know even the number of hairs on my head, speaks volumes of how You know me so intimately, and the plan You have for my life. Therefore Your reminder to not fear because You have said I'm more value than many sparrows. The sweet birds chirp and sing praises to You, but You have given me words to confess You before men, women and children. With a grateful heart I do want to, and rejoice knowing You will confess me before the Father. Lord You are sovereign, in control of all things and how haughty we can be thinking we are supreme in anyway. Jesus You have so plainly taught, a disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. The day will come when the loftiness of men shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of them shall be brought low. You alone will be exalted in that day, and idols will be utterly abolished. You say to the righteous that it will be well with them, and they shall eat fruit of their doing. Oh, Father, but woe to the wicked. Father, I pray for discernment, to know clearly the teachers who lead and cause err and destroy the way of Your path. Keep me Lord on the narrow road that lead to life everlasting.  Father I may not know what my future holds, but I know You are the one who holds it. Whether in sickness, or health, poverty or plenty, joy or sorrow You are my betrothed Jesus and I know You will never leave me. May the word of my mouth and meditation of my heart always be acceptable in Your sight, my Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. Amen.

Matthew 26:41

Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit is indeed willing but the flesh is weak.

Dear Holy Father,
May I take heed to Your word. As I observe all around me, my fellow sisters and brothers are in the midst of great trials. Their spouse have strayed, their children have rejected Your teaching and are rebellious against You. Others themselves have fell prey to seducing spirits that have enticed them into sexual immorality, while others have succumbed to feeding their material desires, and have compromised their integrity. How easy it is to become a participant in transgression against You. One only needs to take off the belt of truth for an instant and the breastplate of righteousness falls to the ground. It grieves me Lord, for the ones who removed truth from their lives causes a chain reaction in others. Father, I pray for those who are delighting in their sin, taking advantage of Your grace, to understand how they pushed, shoved and tripped their loved ones to fall into bitterness, anger, fear and un-forgiveness by their selfish acts. Father, by Your Spirit break them and call them to repentance so that the generations to come will not have the impact of consequences of their decisions. May marriage be restore, financial accounting be rectified and businesses returned to steadfast adherence to that which is right. Father, I pray the Gospel of Jesus would continue to spread across the globe, but especially here in this nation, for we have slumbered and many have fallen into temptation. Forgive us Lord for we are weak, and need Your Spirit to strengthen us. Your mercy Lord is from everlasting to everlasting, and Your righteousness to our children's children. We must remember this truth, Your mercy is for those who fear, love and revere You as King of kings and Lord of lords. For there is therefore now no commendation to those who are in You Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Father quicken in our minds and hearts to see clearly how we are living, realizing the works of the flesh are evident in the forms of adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outburst of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresy, envy, murder, drunkenness, revelries and the like; which You have told us beforehand, those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom. May we not take lightly these words of warning, but come to You in all humility asking forgiveness and being wash cleaned by the blood of the Lamb. Father, we need You to protect us from the wolves in sheep's clothing that are teaching doctrines of demons and come from a different spirit. Quicken in Your children discernment that we may be watchful, ready in season and out to do the work of evangelist fulfilling the ministry call to spread the good news. In Your name Jesus I pray. Amen. 

Psalm 103:17,  Romans 8:1, Galatians 5:19-21 and 2 Timothy 4:2-5

Matthew 26:45

He went a little further and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will."

Jesus Messiah, You are the One the Father has anointed and appointed heir in all things, through whom He also made the worlds. You are the brightness of His glory and the expressed image of His person. You Jesus who are so much better than the angels, sitting down at the right hand of Majesty on high. All the angels of God worship You. And the four winged creatures do not rest but say night and day "Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!"  Father I pray to be found saying "Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Jesus who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!" because You have so lovingly open my eye to stand in awe of His great sacrifice. Jesus, You who knew absolutely no sin, none at all, for You are pure and holy made Yourself of no reputation, taking the form of a bond-servant and coming in the likeness of man and this is the part that overwhelms me with a divine gratitude, humbled Yourself to the point if death on the cross. Taking my sin, my filthy wrecked sin, and paid the price for me. You asked the Father to keep You who are sinless, and righteous not to have to receive sin of this world that is so vile, but with total obedience to the Father You submitted. You became a curse for us, and took the brunt of Gods righteous wrath.  With a broken and contrite heart I bow in awe and adoration confessing You Jesus Christ are Lord. My words seem so tiny in comparison to the great gift You so freely gave. Blessed be Your name Jesus who conquered the grave! Praise and glory to You our King! I love You Lord. Amen.

Hebrews 1:1-4, Revelation 4:8, 5:13, Philippians 2:5-11

Isaiah 12:3

Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

Dear Lord,
May the vocal acknowledgement of Your wonders and works cause remembrance of You among Your people. May it also testify to those who are yet to come to the saving grace of You the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who are in the desert places perhaps even considering the thought You have deserted them, may they drink with joy from the well, remembering the day of their deliverance. You have promised You will never leave us nor forsake us. The joy of Your salvation is our strength. For Yah, the Lord is my strength and song. Jesus our Messiah, You have always demonstrated the right response to Father God. And one day we will see it lived out in all creation. The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together. The nursing child shall play by the cobra's hole, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den. There shall not be destruction in all Your holy mountain, for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of You. Oh, glorious day! Your resting place shall be glorious. Father I pray we would think on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely and of good report, also on that of which is virtuious and praiseworthy until the day of Christ return as He is all these things and so much more. I pray today to purpose in my heart not to defile myself on any of the delicacies of this world just as Daniel resolved in his heart long, long ago. By the power of Your Holy Spirit empower us to walk in Your will and ways all the days of our lives so we may bring glory to You. In Jesus name, Amen.

1 Corinthians 5:7

Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened.

Dear Jesus, the Christ who is our Passover Lamb, You who sacrificed for us. So that we may live not with the old leaven of sin that comes in the form of malice and wickedness. Not returning evil for evil, not being vicious to those who have harmed us in anyway, but remembering above all, to love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. May we live by Your outstanding example. Oh Father that we should be fervent in charity towards each other. Using the gift of hospitality to minister to others as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. Father I pray that if any of us speak let it be as oracles of You, glorifying Your beautiful Son Jesus, or let us not speak at all. For it is difficult to bridal ones tongue, but a true blessing when we do. May our lips only sing praises to You, who has dominion forever and ever. May we be new lumps of love as my dear old neighbor used to say. Lord examine my heart, see if there is any wicked way in me. The thought of even having even a tiny pinch of leaven in me spreading throughout my entire spirit contaminating that which You so mercifully have cleansed, grieves me. Father let each of us repent of the things in our lives that pollute Your church. One of us may be guilty of sexual immorality, but the congregation sits in guilt of ignoring the man's disobedience in failing to hold them accountable. Forgive us Lord, and grant us the word to speak in truth, love and tenderness to restore the brethren to You. Jesus we need You, and our hearts desire is to honor You in all areas of our lives. Thank You for the gift of Your Holy Spirit to lead, guide and use us to bring glory to You our great God and King. In Your name Jesus, the name above all names, Amen.

Jeremiah 33:3

Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do know.

Heavenly Father, You have promised those who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of You, Almighty. You are my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.  Even when my heart is breaking over the news of a loved ones diagnosis of cancer, I can be still and know You are God. Because You have set Your love upon me. I call out to You my Savior, Healer, Redeemer and Friend asking with expectation that You will answer. For You know Your thoughts towards us, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give us a hope and a future. I pray for my loved one to seek You with their whole heart for You are the Lord our Righteousness. Father pour out Your mercy and grace, health and healing and reveal to us Your abundance of peace and truth. Thank You Lord for every person You have called to be a doctor, nurse or researcher of diseases. May they be used by You our great Physician blessing their hands, minds and hearts as they minister to the sick. Bring an increase wisdom and knowledge as to how to battle and have victory in every area of wellness. Restore to those who have had the locus of infirmity devour their livelihood, disabling them in suffering and pain. Lift the yoke of doubt, resting in the truth that they are in Your loving care. Father bless those who are loving care givers whether they are a family member or paid employee. Strengthen the church to continually walk along side those who have great physical need. Bless You children by the power of Your Holy Spirit to behold Your miraculous healing, for You are the same today as You were yesterday. May You be glorified and lifted high in every situation. You Jesus are the only One worthy of all our praise. Thank You Lord for Your gift of eternal life and knowing that one day we will be in the place of no more suffering and You shall lovingly wipe away every tear. In Your precious name Jesus, Amen. 

Jeremiah 33:6, Psalm 91 and Jeremiah 29:11-14

Galatians 4:21

Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?

Father I pray that Your children continue to stand fast in the liberty by which Your Only Son Jesus Christ has made us free, so we will not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Freely Jesus, You gave the gift of salvation, not because we kept the law, but by Your amazing grace. A redemption based on faith in You, justifying sinful men and women. Jesus, You are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Your grace is the way of the Spirit who blesses and is the desire for Your children. May we see the results the come from intimacy with You who is wholly and beloved by the Father. Your grace Lord that is motivated by agape love, a love so powerful it raised You from the dead. Your cherished gift of eternal life that is not based on anything we could accomplish and is incapable of resulting in justification. Let us not Father walk in the ways of the flesh but be filled with the power of Your Holy Spirit. Father may Your people lay down all motivation that stems from pride and human effort, picking up our cross daily and walk yoked to You. For You Jesus have said, Come to Me all who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give You rest." Lord I pray for my dearest friends who are going through very challenging and tough times. Grant those who have wayward spouse patience in the suffering, resting knowing You are doing a work that You will see to completion. Bless those who need wisdom in decision making for an ailing loved one, pour out an extra measure of peace. Grant provisions for those who are enduring financial hardship, may they be still knowing You will not leave them begging for bread. Father thank You for Your grace in this life as we do not deserve to receive a thing from You but You kindly give to us anyway. Blessed be Your name Jesus in whom I pray. Amen. 

Galatians 4:7-31 and Matthew 11:28-30

Psalm 115:18

He will bless those who fear the Lord, Both small and great.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I rejoice for You are gracious and give increase more and more. May all those who have been kind to me Lord, be overwhelmed by Your blessings. For every good and perfect gift comes from You our Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Father bless my friend who saw my pain deep within and yielded to Your Spirit to pour out loving kindness. A treasured gift that nothing could compare. You Father have been mindful of Your children and have blessed us with each other so we may be knit together into the beautiful image on Your Son. In one of my favorite Psalms Lord it says "Blessed is every one who fears the Lord, who walk in His ways." I marvel Jesus at the bestowing of women You have so lovingly placed in my life. Each one uniquely crafted by Your hand, filled with precious gifts and talents, life experiences of successes and failures like a garden arrayed in glorious splendor. Bless them Lord so they may be as fruitful vines. May Your daughters be Your spotless bride in the very heart of Your home when the day comes when we are gathered around Your banquet table. May they be happy and all go well with them all the days of their lives from now into eternity. Father I pray for the women both young and old, small and great who have not yet come to the saving knowledge of Your Son, Jesus Messiah. May they be bless to learn the fear of the Lord lead to wisdom. Gather up all the ladies who are wandering the arid places looking for a refreshing drink, for You Jesus are the only One who can satisfy and quench the thirst. Your mercy and grace always cause the rose to bloom in the desert! Jesus thank You for loving us Your little women. Amen.

James 1:17 and Psalm 128

Philippians 2:4

Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also the interests of others.

Dear Holy Father, 
May my eyes be opened to the areas of my life where I do things through selfish ambition. I pray to be free of conceit, the thinking I'm more important than I am. And lead me to live as You did esteeming other and serving them. May all my christian motivation be done by the power of the Holy Spirit, not out of selfish motivations. Guide me by Your Spirit to honestly assess the inner working of my emotions, thoughts and desires. Raising them to the standard of Your Word. The plumb line of truth, the measuring stick of intentions. Father, shut out the noises of this world that wishes to distract, fine tuning me hearing to Your still small voice that echos the personal needs of others. May I be quick to respond whether in word, deed or prayer, remembering it is for You my great God and King's glory. Jesus when I think on what You did when You stepped down from heaven to take human form, to teach, love and sacrifice for us, for me, I am overwhelmed, speechless, and humbled to my knees. Let me be like minded to You, comforting other in love, having fellowship with the broken, extended affection and mercy to the hurting. Father may Your Spirit draw Your children near to live like minded, having the same love from Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, not causing division or competition, but encouraging each other in Your ways that are higher and better. Father I pray for Your faithful servants around the world who are sincerely loving the outcasts, abandoned, frightened and homeless strengthen them by the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling within them. Quicken in their minds Your words of truth that have been written on their hearts. Father bless, bless and bless them some more in every way, exceeding ever need. May we continue to work together to lift Jesus high. Thank You for leaning Your ear to hear my prayers and the prayers of Your children. In Jesus perfect name, Amen.

Philippians 2:4

Joshua 7:19

Now Joshua said to Achan, "My son, I beg you, give glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession to Him, and tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.

Dear Heavenly Father, 

Thank You for the cross and thank You for the blood. Thank You for the beautiful and loving sacrifice of Your beloved Son. A love so powerful I can hardly grasp the magnitude. But this I do understand the grace and mercy that falls so sweetly and embraces me when I confess the thing I've done and do that offend You. I can come before You seeking forgiven for the times that I've been short tempered or impatience as a loved one struggles to grasp hold of Your free gift of salvation, and for the times I've withdrawn into myself because disappointment and discouragement has whisper lies into my ears. Father thank You for Your mercies that are unending and new every morning. Lord Jesus I confess my feelings of loneliness denying Your promise that You will never leave or forsake me. You are ever present, always a comfort and my dearest friend. Thank You for friends who willing speak boldly on Your behalf bringing correction and healing on Your wings. Bless them for their faithful devotion to You. Protect these precious children who have died to self to live fully for You. Lord I pray for all those who have not tasted of Your goodness for You truly are good. May they answer the plea to make their confession to You so they may be cleansed, and freed for all eternity. And may all glory be thrust upon You the only true God. Jesus Messiah I love You and thank You from all of me. 

Amen.

Psalm 27:4

One thing I have desired of the Lord, That I will seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. To behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple.

Heavenly Father there is one thing I desire and that it is to know Your beautiful Son Jesus more deeply. May I enter Your courts with thanksgiving and praise for I was a captive set free! So with each passing day my sight is more and more fix on eternity with You. Oh that I should dwell in Your house forever. Certainly Lord there are things I could desire in this world, but they are things that would war against the Spirit. And I do know that ultimately they will not satisfy. You Jesus are the only one who could quench my thirst. I will delight myself in You, for Your have promised when we delight ourselves in You, You grant us the desires of our heart. It is an unending, complete and forever circle of peace. Abiding in You and You abiding in me. Us delighting in each other! Thank You Lord that my eyes have become focused filled with wonder and contentment. Truly a gift from heaven. Thank You for an open heart that is overflowing with awestruck wonder of Your glory and presence all around me. I bless You Lord for Your kindness that led me to repentance which was the door in the valley of Achor. I shall call You my husband and I shall dance as in the days of my youth. Bless You Lord for hiding me in the secret place of Your tabernacle where I shall offer the sacrifice of joy and singing, yes singing praise to You. Amen

Luke 11:34 John 15:4, Hosea 2:14-16 and Psalm 27:5-6

Romans 2:4

Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and long suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

Dear Jesus, oh that we should proclaim; You are the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, and abounding in goodness and truth. You who keep mercy for the thousands, forgiving iniquity, transgression and sin. Forgive us Lord for the days we have despised the riches of Your goodness, forbearance and patience for it is exactly that which has draw us to repentance. It is inexcusable that we should judge others as in doing so we condemn ourselves. Your judgement is according to truth, works and according to the light one has of the law. Father in the day when You judge the secrets of men and women may I be found under the covering of Your Only Son Jesus. Whom You have set forth as propitiation by His blood. Thank You Jesus that by Your grace we are saved through faith in You! Remembering that is not of ourselves but a wonderful and beautiful gift that we shall treasure for all eternity. Forgive us for the times we have boasted in ourselves. We have been created by You to do the good works You have prepared for us beforehand; through the telling to others about You, sharing Your love, and living as examples of Your amazing grace and mercy. Father fill us with Your Holy Spirit to no longer walk in the futility of our minds, putting off our former conduct, because we are renewed in the spirit of our mind being transformed by Your every word of truth. Thank You Jesus for the snowy white robe of Your righteousness. Thank Your for washing us clean when we repent of our disobedience. Forgiving us when we have not honored Your will and ways. Father we thank You for Your Spirit that compels us, Your beloved children to be kind to others, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as Christ has so lovingly forgiven us. May our lives be a mirror reflection of Your perfection. May the world around us see less of us and more of YOU! With love and gratitude Jesus I give You thanks and praise. Amen.

Haggai 1:7

Thus says the Lord of hosts: "Consider your ways!"

Lord Jesus, as I consider my ways; in the caring for my health, finances, family and friends, I can see where somethings have fallen into gentle ruin. The not so obvious effects of neglect. Forgive me for procrastinating in keeping in touch with the people You so lovingly placed in my life. Forgive me for deserting the routine that aided in keeping my body in more optimal health. Forgive me for not taking more time for planning and adhering to wise saving and spending. May this be the day Lord to start a new with a willing heart to restructure, rebuild and repair the deserted areas of life. Places that need a scrubbing, refreshing and in some aspects total renovation. May the removal of the remaining debris of doubt, fear, disappointment and discouragement be hauled away. Jesus replace the frustrations with a revived sense of hope, excitement, and joy. May all glory be Yours as Your Spirit does a mighty of  act moving the heaps of excuse such as; not now Lord, I'm too busy, or too tired or I can't, replacing them with yes Lord, not my will but Yours be done in and through me. Oh, Lord that You would take pleasure in me and be glorified! I pray to be obedient to Your voice. Forgive me for the times I've debated, delayed or was disobedient to Your commands. Lord Jesus help me to accomplish all that You have prepared for me to do. Resting in Your truth as written in Your holy word "I am with You." So I pray for Your beloved children and myself included that we would fear not, but carrying on doing all good works in Your name. May this new season be one of great and deep healing, love and devotion and may Your glorious Light shine forth in the darkness as refurbishing begins. Thank You Jesus, Amen.

Zephaniah 3:17

"The Lord God is in your midst. The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quite you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."

Lord I stand in awe of You. There is only goodness, holiness, and purity in You. No evil or wickedness as some would want us to believe. Your unending kindness leads us to repentance. Oh, that I am glad and rejoice with all my heart, humbled that You are in my midst. You, the God and creator of the entire universe, all that was and yet to be. Nevertheless You rejoice over Your children with gladness. How great are Your thoughts to me Oh God, so great I can scarcely take it in. I'm grateful for how Your amazing love quiets and stills my anxious thoughts. It's a tremendous gift to receive, the great weight of it causes me to surrender all that I had previously held so dear. Casting off the lies of the evil one, who steals and destroys the hope, joy and peace You so tenderly pour out. Father, I am overwhelmed by the thought of You rejoicing over me with singing. When I recall the days gone by of me singing sweet lullabies, and uttering gentle words over my newborn baby, I'm humbled to even dare to imagine Your sweetness over me, a poor sinner. Thank You Lord Jesus for Your incredible love, though I search my mind to put my gratitude into words, they all fall short. The best I can say is thank You, and I love You back with all that is within my simply human and frail heart. Amen.

1 Thessalonians 5:16

Rejoice always

Dear Heavenly Father,
I can rejoice always because You are a sovereign ruler who always accomplishes Your will. Father I rejoice because my joy does not depend on my circumstances but on my growing awareness and closeness to You. I rejoice because my eternity is secure in Your Son Christ Jesus. I rejoice because You grant me patience in tribulation, in needs and in distress, in labors and in sleeplessness by the power of Your Holy Spirit, by sincere love, by the word of truth, by Your awesome power. Even though there are sorrows in this life may I always be found rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. For You Lord have heard me, and in the day of salvation You have helped me. Father I pray for those who have not yet opened their hearts to You, may today be the day of their salvation, not running away from Your mercy and grace but running into Your loving embrace. May they taste and see You are good. I thank You Lord for the knowledge that in heaven their is continually rejoicing as sinners come home. What a great and glorious image of the angels rejoicing continually as You daily add names to the Lambs book of life. The place of indelible ink where they will not be erased, but are set in the promise they/we will live for all eternity in Your presence. Bless You sweet Jesus for Your awesome love that is grace upon grace. In Your precious name I give thanks and praise, Amen.

2 Corinthians 6:3-10

1 John 4:16

And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love aides in God, and God is in him.

Oh Father how we should love one another as You have and still love us. You are love and have shown Your great love by laying down Your life for us. There is no great love than Jesus! You are perfect! Father bring revelation by Your Spirit to those who say "I love God" yet hate their brother. They are liars, for how can they not love a brother whom they see, and yet love You whom they have not seen. Jesus You have given the commandment, that he who loves God must love his brother also.
How beautiful to behold the abiding love between You Father and Your dear beloved Son. There is no striving, domination, obligation or competition between You just peace, wholeness and joy, which is true love in its pure unadulterated form. So Lord may we love one another revealing to the world that You live in us and we abide with You. Oh Father that we should behold how good and pleasant it is, for brethren to dwell together in unity. May the church arise harmoniously, victoriously and brilliantly to light the way for the lost and dying world around us. Jesus, You are my one desire, to walk and talk with You constantly, consistently and contently all the days of my life here on earth and into eternity. In Your precious name, Amen.

2 Kings 12:2

Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord all the days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

Dear Heavenly Father,
May we hold fast to our confession that Jesus Christ is our great High Priest forever. He is the one who can sympathize with our weakness, as He was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. So by the power of the Holy Spirit may we Father fulfill the royal law according to Your word, not just loving our neighbor as ourselves, which is well enough, not showing partiality to those who have outward appearance that are pleasing, such as; fine apparel and gold rings but turning our attention and notice the poor and the needy in out midst. Father I pray for a heart like Jehoash that compels me to do what is right in Your sight and live as Jesus did. For He is the ultimate example of unselfish, humble, pure and holy love for others. Father may we rise up to restore the breach we have committed in Your house. Forgive us for the sins of judgement, murmuring, complaining and casting aside those who we have deem unworthy to be in Your presence including ourselves. May we put aside all idols of self righteousness, entitlement, and haughtiness and purpose in our hearts to bring good treasures into Your house in the forms of thanksgiving, praise and adoration for all that You have so loving giving. Father grant us by conviction so we may be determined to wash the feet of our brothers and sister whom we have discard, rejected and even loathed. Forgive us Lord for the hardness of our hearts that has brought destruction to Your Holy Temple. Jesus, forgive me for neglecting my body, which is the temple of Your Holy Spirit and now has fallen in to disrepair. Help me to be tenderhearted to my own needs, that of which are healthy and highly nutritional foods, proper rest and exercise. Let them be an offering acceptable in Your sight, with out spot or blemish, strengthening and fortifying me from within so I may be as a river whose stream shall make glad the city of God. The Holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. Truly, Lord You are in the midst of me and I shall not be moved. I believe Lord that You shall help me to be as a priest repairing the damage done to Your beautiful body and Your beloved church. In Jesus mighty name, Amen.
