He has shown you O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God?
Dear Heavenly Father,
With what shall I come before You Lord, and bow myself to You the Most High God? Shall I come before You with burnt offerings, or a calve a year old? Would You Lord be pleased with a thousand rams or ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my first born for my transgressions or the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? No, I shall give my heart to You for Your gift of mercy through Your Son who atoned for my sin. Let me live Lord being filled with Your Spirit to do those things You require. May my attitude be of joy that accompanies true worship. Father grant me and all Your children the strength, courage, and ability to demonstrate virtues of godly living. Put the words in our mouths to rebuke the oppressor, the bravery to defend the fatherless, and heart to appeal for the widow. May our souls be willing and obedient so we may eat from the good of the land. May we serve You Lord night and day with joy and thanksgiving. For all those who come to You in repentance, turning from their doubt, wash them clean. Though our sins are like scarlet, we shall be as white as snow. Thank You Jesus for the cross, thank You for Your precious blood poured out for us. Thank You Lord for turning us around to see the truth, the way and life You so freely give. As I humble myself before You, grateful for the mercy You have shown me, may I go about the day with a willingness to be merciful to others. I love You Lord Jesus. In Your name I pray, Amen.

Exodus 20:8
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Dear Heavenly Father,
You are so gracious to me. As You teach me Your ways and I struggle to let go of mine. Your patience and mercy are wonders to me. Your word You have hidden in my heart. Grant me Lord understanding so I may keep Your instruction. Make me to walk in the path of Your commandments. May Your Holy Spirit direct me, so I will delight in Your way. As I meditate on Your wonderful works, my soul melts from heaviness. Strengthen me according to You word. Father I have chosen the way of truth, and my hearts desires is to go deeper and know You even more. Father keep my eyes from looking to the right or left remaining focus on You my Lord and God. I love You. May the honoring of the Sabbath day be a sign to You of my knowing You are the Lord who sanctifies me. Father I am humbled as I think about Your finger writing the two tablets of testimony, the tablets of stone. I stand in awe of You. The Ten Commandments not written with pen and paper as anyone could do, but by Your mighty hand as it touch the surface of hard rock. Wow Lord, I stand in awe of You. Your wonder never ceases. How great and glorious You are. May I honor You all the days of my life. You Lord have promised; fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Bless You Lord, for just as You held the hand of Moses, You Lord Jesus hold my hand. Lead me Lord, lead me in Your ways. I pray for all to know the truth, that will set them free. Open the ears and let them hear. In Jesus name, Amen.

Psalm 125:1
Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
Dear Heavenly Father,
I give thanks to You for You are good! It is better for me to put my trust in You Lord than to put confidence in man. You Lord Jesus are my strength and song. You are my salvation. What shall I say then? If God is for us, who can be against us? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril or sword take us from Your mighty hand. I should say not. Lord for in all these things and more You have made us more than conquerors, through Your love for us. Father I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height or depth, nor any other created thing shall separate us from You love, which is Christ Jesus. Thank You Lord for Your amazing love that causes us to rest and trust in You forever. Thank You for the filling of the Holy Spirit that make us stand firm. Lord I pray for Your people as they meditated on Your Word, the Holy Scriptures may they be like trees planted by rivers of water. May they bring forth their fruit in its season, and no leaf shall wither. May not one of them be cut down, and whatever they do they shall prosper. Bless those Lord who do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly but delight themselves in You. Father You know the way of the righteous, and they are safe in Your loving arms. Thank You Lord for hearing my prayers in Jesus name, Amen.

Luke 10:23
Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see,"
Dear Heavenly Father,
May my eyes behold what manner of love that You have bestowed on me, that I should be called a child of God! Father I'm in awe of Your love that includes me in Your family. You love all believers, both weak and the strong. You have blessed my eyes to see Your kindness that has delivered those who have been tangled up in addiction breaking the chains that have kept them bound. You have blessed me to observe Your goodness embrace those who have messed up and have fallen to their knees begging for mercy and forgiveness. I've been honored to see the lost be found by Your amazing grace. My eyes have had the privilege to observe Your blessing being poured upon the couples that not only honor You with their lips but their whole hearts as well. To see the young teens who walks the narrow road, minding their every step that leads to You. I have watch in amazement as You have healed the sick, restoring them to perfect health. Your perfect peace that has been given to those who knew no peace has as brought astonishment into view. Yes Lord my life has been more than blessed, especially when You opened my eyes to see the sinner I was and my greatest need for to You to save me. Now being a wakened to the newness of the day I have awestruck wonder of the world You have created. Oh my eyes have seen Your glory. I have beheld the beauty of You Lord, may the words of my mouth and meditation of my heart be so very pleasing to Your ears. May all the saints praise the Lord! For Your name Lord Jesus alone is exalted. Your glory above the earth and the heavens. Let the children be joyful for the great and wonderful things our mighty King has done! You have beautified the humble with salvation and take pleasure in Your people. Thank You Lord! All glory, honor and praise are Yours Jesus for ever and ever. Amen!

James 1:18
Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of His creatures.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Thank You Lord for the inheritance that is incorruptible, undefiled and does not fade away. Thank You Lord for the place reserved in heaven for all those who believe You where and are and will come again. Let us not be deceived, but remembering and rejoicing that every good and perfect gift comes from above. Father I pray we will pursue peace and holiness. Let us be diligent to present ourselves approved to You Lord God as workers who do not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Your Word Lord is a beacon of truth in the darkness of falsehood that surrounds us. May we make every effort to handle it accurately. Teach us Your ways O'Lord. Let us shun profane and idle babbling, for they will bring an increase in ungodliness. Their message spreads like cancer. Let our eyes and heart be fixed on You Lord Jesus our beloved Savior and not be led astray by any other whim or false teaching. Lord You know who belongs to You, so may all those who name the name of Christ depart from all forms of iniquity. Father I pray for Your great house, for in it is not only vessels of gold and silver that are of honor but of wood and clay that are those who dishonor You. May all those who are of the latter be cleansed and made into vessels of honor, sanctified and useful to You our Master, being prepared for ever good work. Bless You Lord for Your mercy endures forever. Oh we give thanks to the Lord for You are good. Your mercy endures forever and ever, Amen.

1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens. Let Your glory be above the earth. May my heart be steadfast to sing and give praises. I will sing to You among the nations, for Your mercy reaches to the heavens and Your truth unto the clouds. My heart is established in You Lord Jesus and I will not be afraid. You Lord Jesus are the living God, who is steadfast forever. Your kingdom is one that shall not be destroyed. May peace be multiplied to all people, nations and languages that dwell in all the earth. May every dominion tremble and fear You. May all have reverence for You our wise King. Father may I be enthusiastic about the work You have called me to. Letting nothing move me from the task at hand. As Your children are fellow workers in Your fields, may we remember one of us plants, and one waters but You Lord give the increase. Thank You Lord for all those who are co-labors with me. They lovingly serve You. Thank You for my brother and sister, You have blessed with gift to preach, teach, minister through words and deeds, to heal, and encourage. Bless them for their faithfulness to spread the Good News. So Lord I pray we are diligent with these things, being loyal to serve You with all our hearts, minds, souls and strength until the day of Your return. Empower us Lord by Your Holy Spirit to be immovable because Your day is coming and will be like a thief in the night. O death where is your sting? Thanks be to You God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us rejoice and pray in His name, Amen.

Proverbs 22:1
A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Your beautiful and perfect Son Jesus Christ humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore You Lord God Almighty highly exalted Him, giving Him the name above all names. Ever knee shall bow, of those in heaven, and those on earth, and those under the earth. Every tongue shall confess Jesus Christ is Lord. May I keep Your word, and not deny Your holy name. Let us be of one mind and one accord. You Lord are the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You Lord maintain my lot. The lines have fallen on me in pleasant places, yes I have a good inheritance. Thank You for calling me to be Your child and placing Your insignia on my future. In You Lord I have great riches, love that comforts, fellowship of the Spirit and joy to name a few. Truly Lord far better than gold or silver. Father I pray for all those who seek the riches of this world forgoing the reputation of their names for the possession of material wealth. Compromising the legacy they leave behind. They do not understand this tarnish can not be removed after death. Cleansing by Your blood is necessary for entrance into Your Kingdom. You taught us about the rich man and Lazarus. The rich man did not come to You in repentance and perished to be tormented by the flame. He begged for Lazarus to be sent to cool his tongue with water, but there is a great gulf fixed between heaven and hell and no one can pass over it. Father hear my prayers for those who are living life without You. Please Lord save them. Open their eyes and come into their hearts. Give them a new name, and inheritance that is eternal. Lord have mercy on the lost who are pridefully thinking they are doing well on their own. Come Lord Jesus come. In Your name, Amen.
