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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray that all who have come to the Light, Your Son Jesus Christ would continue in boldness to share the love we have received.  Father as others have compliment me on beinging good, gentle, kind at times Ive pridefully taking it for myself  forgetting all to quickly that it is Your Spirit within me that allows me to live out Your characteristics.  Lord I confess I am not the Light but desire to bear witness of Your Light.  Lord, I pray that I would continually keep my eyes fixed on Your Light. When others notice the way I walk in love, peace and joy may it be opportunity to say greater is He who lives in me than all that is in the world. Father may I bear witness of the work that You have started in me and will see to completion. Thank You Lord that You are so patient as I stretch and grow being formed in to the image of Your Son, not that I could ever take His place. May I be living testimony of His life, examples for others of how Jesus conquered the grave and rose from the dead and through Him, He has made me victorious. Given me  new life, Im not crushed or defeated by the challenges, heartache or trails but am an over comers in all circumstances by the power of Your Holy Spirit living in me. All this for one purpose to bring glory back to You, to lift You my King high. Jesus You are the Prince of Peace, Alpha and Omega, Redeemer, Deliver, the apple of Your Fathers eye, the Only Son, who was and is and is to come. Jesus You are the Messiah. Lord Jesus as I bend my knee and bow my heart before You may I look all around me to see the world doing the same for You are the only one worthy.  Father I pray today we would be used as light bearers bringing hope into the world. You have blessed us with all that we need to bring change in to the lives of the lost and hurting. Let us illuminate the darkness of the lives of the young and old, rich and poor, weak and strong, every tribe, nation and tongue that they would be forever transformed and forever Yours. Thank You Lord for being my guiding light leading me on the path that leads to life. In Jesus name, Amen

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

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