John 3:16

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
   
Oh Father what joy and comfort these beautiful and loving words are. What an incredible promise, to believe in Jesus and have the gift of everlasting life. Hallelujah and Amen! Lord may I run quickly to share the good news with joy and excitement, as I have seen the tomb is empty and Christ has risen! May those who have called to You, asking for mercy according to Your loving kindness have their transgressions blotted out. May they rejoice, holding You close worshiping with thanksgiving and praise for You have forgiven them. You are no longer hanging on the cross, or lying in a grave but alive! Thank You Jesus for your cleansing blood. You have made me to hear joy and gladness. Bless You Lord for creating in those who believe a new heart, and renew those with a steadfast spirit. Father I pray for those who weep and mourn, thinking You have gone, bath their lonely hearts in Your peace. Reveal Your love to them in ways only You can. 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. I pray Lord all across the land there is rejoicing, shouts of praise and prayers of thanksgiving to You our wise King. Great is Your faithfulness, yes Lord great is Your faithfulness! 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.

Job 34:19

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.

Hebrews 12:14

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.
