"For the Son of Man is the Lord even of the Sabbath."
Dear Heavenly Father,
Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth. For You desire mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of You more that burnt offerings. Let us offer the sacrifice of our lips when we come before You acknowledging Jesus is the only One who can take away our iniquities and receive us graciously. May we return to You Lord and bless You, and thank You, and praise You for all You have so freely given. May it not be a one time expression but may it be a perpetual gift to You our King. May it be the sweet fruit that comes forth from our tongues. May we not forget to do good and share with others for in doing so is pleasing to You our God. Jesus You are our rest, our peace and place of refuge, may our faithfulness not be as a morning cloud that is like the early dew and goes away. Father I pray for my brothers and sister in Your house who are walking in disobedience, may I say to them come and let us walk in the Light of the Lord. Place our faith in Your promises and obey Your commandants. May we love You with all our hearts, minds, souls and strength and our neighbors as ourselves. Father You have said "Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generation, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you. You shall keep the Sabbath therefore, for it is holy to you." Jesus I love You and crown You Lord of my life every day for You are the Light of the world and in You there is no darkness at all. Bless You Jesus for illuminating my life. Lord I do not desire just head knowledge of You but to know You truly, madly, deeply. Through Your love for me it will produce obedience that is loyal and devoted to Your good and perfect will. I shall not make boast in anything I do but give glory and honor to You. In Your name Jesus I pray. Amen.

Proverb 26:2
Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, so a curse without cause shall not alight.
Good Morning my King and my God,
Blessed are those who dwell in Your house. They will be found praising You. The swallow has made a nest where she may lay her young. And the sparrow has found a home. Thank You Father for turning the curse in to a blessing because of Your great love. Father, so many times You have kept the misery of this life from taking hold in me. The sins of this fallen world have been turned into great blessings. I have found my home and refuge under the shadow of Your wing. Reveal You benefits to those who are afflicted. Some may call to You for help with their children who are walking in darkness experimenting with drugs and alcohol but You shall give them new wine to drink. Others may be battling sickness and disease of various kinds, but You will anoint their heads with oil. And there are others living in poverty but You Lord Jesus are the bread from heaven that give life. Father there are many challenges, some are really hard and difficult to say the least, but thank You that in each one You are glorified. As I look back Lord over my life I see over and over the hexes that could have consumed me, but You Lord put out ever flame that dared to destroy me. Freely You have given to me, so freely may I give to others to be a blessing in their lives. Let my mouth speak of Your goodness, and the depth of Your concern for us. Two sparrows are sold for a copper coin and not one of them falls to the ground apart from Your will. Even the numbers of hairs on our head are counted. We shall not fear because we are of more value to You than many birds. Thank You for teaching us of Your great love through ever trial and challenge. May we rejoice knowing You will be victorious in every situation. As we gather the twigs of the broken piece of our lives, may they be reconstructed in to a nest that is cradled in Your loving arms. May we climb in and rest. Thank You Lord for wisdom and understanding plus the heart to contain it. I love You Jesus, Amen.

1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be deceived: "Evil company corrupts good habits."
To many Father, far to many. My heart is heavy and full of concerns. But You Lord Jesus are the lifter of my head. The evil ones mission to lure our children in to the pit has caused me to cry out to You this morning. Father You have said, let no one despise our youth. Your desire is for them to be examples to believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith and purity. But O Father, the battle rages on. Jesus we need You to intercede for us and our young ones. Strengthen those You have called to ministry to lead the way. Give them the wisdom and understanding so when they preach and teach their tongues with be like a two edged sword. Fill them with the Holy Spirit to guide and instruct them to help struggling parents to raise their children in the way they shall go and they won't depart from it. Bless them for their loving dedication to You. Father breathe Your Spirit into neighborhoods to stand firm and be a hedge of protection around each others babies, children and teens. Father I pray, may the older and wiser speak words of encouragement to the younger who are weary from the fight. May their years of experience be hope and inspiration to those facing trails of wayward and rebellious teens. May we come together as a community Your body to Your will. May we gleen from those who already lovingly do. Father I pray may we all be servants to one another not being haughty thinking we need not get involved because all is well in our homes. Grant us the willingness to wash the feet of the hurting mom, dad, grandparent, aunt or uncle that is filled with grief over the direction their beloved child is headed. Parenting in a life time, so Father bath those in Your peace who are still waiting for the turning of their adult children. May they see the fruit of their prayers come forth in their loved ones who turn and surrender their lives to You. May the good things we have sewn in to our children, keep them from being deceived, lured and tempted into giving up the blessings You have for them. Father expose the wickedness of the world so it is plan to the human eye. Father keep us from even going passed the harlots door. In the powerful and might name above all name Jesus, Amen.

Deuteronomy 4:7
For what great nation is there that has God so near to it, as the Lord our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him?
Lord God, You are my refuge and strength. My very present help in times of trouble. Therefore, I will not fear. Even though the earth be removed, and the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. I shall be still and know You are God. You Lord shall be exalted above all the trails and challenges my loved ones are facing. You Lord shall be exalted in all the places that have been shaken. Father, I pray for all Your children who are crying out for their sons and daughters, may they be filled with Your amazing peace, knowing when they call upon You, You are near. If they are seeking You, You shall be found. Even though the rain comes down and the snow falls from heaven. It waters the earth to bring forth its bud. It gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater. Father, sometimes it's difficult to see the end from the beginning when the battle for souls is thick, but Your ways our not our ways. Yours Lord are higher than the heavens and far better and greater. May Your children rest knowing they will go out with joy and be led by Your peace. Even when it breaks our hearts to see those in the dark suffering and struggling to emerge into Your marvelous Light. I thank You Lord that You are so near to us, we can whisper to You anything that is on our hearts or concerning in our minds and You respond with loving kindness and blessings. Thank You Jesus, great is Your faithfulness. May we sing and dance, rejoicing because the day of deliverance for our loved ones is at hand. You shall set the captives free for Your glory. In Your name Jesus I pray, Amen.

Psalm 23:2
He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Today I lift my soul to You, my God in whom I trust. I am not ashamed of all the great and glorious things You have done for me. You have not allowed the enemy of pride, shame, fear, unbelief or anger to triumph over me. Thanks be to You O God. Father this morning I come before You believing just as You have laid me down in green pastures in my rebellious youth, You shall do the same for the teens of today. You Lord can calm the raging seas in the hurting children of this world. The ones born in to a life of neglect, abandonment, and abuse who are desperate for love. You Lord are the God who sees those who are crying in the darkness with feelings of hopelessness and despair willing to try even the hardest of drugs to ease their pain. Lord send me. Send me to lead them to the pastures that are rolling with mercy and grace. Send me Lord to point them in the direction of the One who will restore their souls. Send me Lord to sit next to them in the field of Your dreams for them. Father send me to guide them away from fast flowing streams that want to drown them. May the still waters of Your love flow freely and gently over their weary souls, soothing their aching hearts. Father these young ones today are faced with so much noise from the world send me to be the whisper in the chaos telling them they are not forgotten and that You God of the Universe cares deeply. May they see the truth among the lies that You sent Your only Son to die for them so they may have life and life more abundantly. Lord I ask forgiveness over my getting so comfortable in the beautiful green pasture, growing lazy, grazing and milling quietly through my day forgetting there is a desert, on the other side of the Mt. Forgive me Lord for not offering a cup from Your calming stream to the young people around me. Lord may I not be concerned with bringing a staff, extra sandals and tunic, not even a money belt, just fill me with Your Holy Spirit and send me. I love You Lord and my hearts desire is for others to love You too. May I not keep the children from coming to You but be the vehicle that drive them to Your door awaiting their arrival with open and loving arms. In the gracious and good name of Jesus, Amen.

Mark 2:4
And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all, this morning I greet You with thanksgiving and praise. I will bless You at all times. Songs of adoration shall continually be on my lips. My soul shall make its boast in You, the King of glory. How very blessed I am to have friends that exude Your loving kindness. With willing hearts they have more than once carried me on my sickbed to lower me through the roof to be laid at Your beautiful feet that walk in peace. How very blessed I am for in my hour of need they diligently raise me up in prayer. Jesus You taught, no greater love then one who lays down your life for a friend. Your loving and unselfish sacrifice on the cross has taught us to put aside our own desires and wants to care for another. I'm in awe, as I watch the people You so tenderly placed in my life that walk in the same gracious humility. How blessed I am to be surrounded by such a kind affection. Father bless those who continually come before You sowing in tears, may they reap a harvest of joy that will last for all eternity. What a privilege and honor to come before You our God on the behalf of other. I've been blessed to know the depth and riches of their hearts when they cry out in prayer. The sincerity, purity and deep concern that comes from within is filled with compassion and beyond word. I am blessed to be surrounded by a cloud of witnesses that tarry at the altar waiting on Your Spirit to move and be made manifest. Bless them Lord for they are long suffering. Lord I pray for those who have never had the gift of such a friendship may they come to know and appreciate these living treasures. What a blessing to have friends who know You Jesus, to speak comfort in to the areas of life that are hard, challenging and at times discouraging. Father increase the circle of friends in my life, but more importantly may I be the friend someone else needs. I love You Lord. In Your name Jesus I pray, Amen.

2 Corinthians 13:12
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
Good Morning Heavenly Father,
Bless You Lord for You have shown me the path of life. In Your presence is the fullness of joy. Father today is back to church day, and my hearts desire is for all those who have walked away from You to run back into Your loving arms. May we Your children greet them with a holy kiss. May we be Your arms that embrace, Your voice that comforts and restores those who walk through the doors today. Lord may we be blessings to You today, living examples of Your mercy and grace. May we live by the examples of our beloved Jesus who feed the hungry, gave drink to the thirsty, lovingly embrace those who where strangers giving them a home and place to rest, clothing the naked, tending to the sick. Father may Your church arise and be a place of refuge and hope for all those who are hurting, and the missing piece to those who think they have all they need, but are yet dissatisfied. Father flood Your churches with love by the power of Your Holy Spirit, come be among and admits us. May we sings psalms and hymns praising You all the day through. May the words of our testimonies be shared with all sincerity to bring reconciliation to those who have not met You yet. May today be the day of their salvation. Thank You Lord for this opportunity to love as You have loved unashamed, unselfishly and without limits. Jesus be lifted high today, all glory and honor is Yours forever and ever, Amen.
