Today’s Prayer (08/31/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray that more people in the faith will begin to trust in You. May they become true disciples of You and desire to be led by You also. May their lives find room for the Bible, prayer and witnessing Your truths to other people. I am grateful to be an evangelist and to go on the streets. There are just days that there are so many people to reach but only few of us. That is when my heart breaks for these people that miss out on Your gospel message. I can see the lost condition they are in and my heart faints when they miss out. Just thinking about what it would be like for them if they knew about You, Jesus, I know would be a life change. This is why making disciples is so important. Christians are more than believers but followers of You, and I pray that this sinks into their hearts. These dear brothers and sisters can be used do Your work if they but trust in You and lean on You, Lord. I pray that these wonderful people will join me in God’s harvest. May they lay aside their own priorities and begin to put You first in their lives. This is the start of them going all in for You, Lord. I know that You will make them courageous to do many great and marvelous things. Many more souls will be saved if people will just respond to Your call today. I trust in You, Lord. My hope is in You. I love You. Amen.

Today’s Prayer (08/29/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, help us to watch our tongues and strive not to say things that hurt other people. To those people that we have already offended, bring those things we’ve said to our minds that we may come to them and mend every wrong. I pray that forgiveness is felt, in the person’s life that is sorry. May their sincerity of their actions speak volumes of the person they are now for You, Jesus. Help people see the change in their lives and forgive them as You are so gracious to forgive us. May our thoughts be purified in Your blood. Help us stay focused on what is pure and holy. We only want to do Your will, so please help us love one another. Shine down Your love, that we may truly say and act as You have us do. May Your presence change us and conform us to live to Your standards. That the Word of the Bible may be imprinted in our hearts. I know that Your Words are powerful and it does have the power to move me to do Your will, above all things. I trust in You, Jesus. I praise You, Lord. I love You. Amen.

Gossip Is Hurtful And Causes Strife

I speak of gossip and hurtful things that people say, because although it may make the person saying such things feel good, it damages other people to the core.

Proverbs 26:20-22

Proverbs 26:20-22 (KJV)
20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Proverbs 26:28

Proverbs 26:28 (KJV)

35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Today’s Prayer (08/28/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, help break free the chains of addiction in people’s lives. May they fully come out of every evil way. May those people suffering with smoking or vaping, no longer be in bondage but let loose from the slavery. Help everyone that is addicted to drinking be made sober. For every person that is under the influence of drugs, may they find a way to escape, through Your matchless power. Even those people that are involved with pornography, convict them also of their wrongs, that they may repent. May all these types of people turn from their sins today and find refuge in Your matchless arms of mercy. My heart goes out to these people. I know that You can give them the power to escape the temptations of the devil. I pray that they do call upon Your name and confess their sins today. They may be weak in the flesh but You can do all things for those that trust in You. You make us courageous to do things we are not able to do on our own. And most importantly, since my chains are broken, I am so grateful for Your forgiveness and grace. Thank You for freeing me from a life of sin, that I might serve You, my King. I love You. I praise You. Amen.

Free From Addiction

Addiction is sin and in Christ, these sins are destroyed, that we may follow Him to the fullest. As mentioned, addictions come in all forms but a growing trend among young people is vaping.

Romans 6:16

Romans 6:16 (KJV)
16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Today’s Prayer (08/27/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray that more people that proclaim themselves to be Christians, also act the part. May they gain understanding from the Bible, church pastors and other people in the faith and let the message absorb in their hearts. Help them to act on what they have been taught and truly live for You, Lord. It is my prayer that during the week, they continue to seek You. Help them overcome temptation, as they rely on You for understanding. May they be wise in Your wisdom and no longer rely on their own understanding. Help them understand that only You can lead us to heaven. We may have good ideas but only relying on Your counsel is to salvation. I know that I am capable of only doing so much in life and at that, going so far. Without You, I am lost. My life has no light when You are not there. This is when I make foolish decisions and fall back into my old ways of doing things and thinking. Help me and those in the faith to never rely on ourselves fully but in You and Your Word for understanding and knowledge. Help us to be humble at all times. That when you speak to our hearts, through the Bible, prayer and other people, that we will be open to accept Your message of hope. I love You Lord. My hope is in You and what You can do for my life and through it. Amen.

Proverbs 26:11-12

Proverbs 26:11-12 (KJV)
11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

Today’s Prayer (08/26/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray for everyone that is in the faith. May they never lose hope in You Jesus. There is only salvation in Your Name. May they never forget this. May their prayers never cease, lest they fall into temptation. I pray that they continue to draw near unto You at all times, lest their faith is tried. May your words be written in their hearts and that they may be an encouragement to us all, when times of trouble. Help us discover the best outlets in life and give up anything that leads us away from You. Instead of constant TV watching, may it be replaced with Bible Study and prayer. Instead of allowing ourselves to go to certain events that lower our guard, help us make time with people in the faith. That we may fellowship with them and continue to look up to You. Lastly, may our desires be for You. Take every evil thought from our minds. Deliver us from any addiction that compromises our faith and break every chain. Lead us from darkness and into Your light. Help us be a light to this generation and live a life of faith. May our faith be known among the men and women that we are around and be used by You at all times. I know that I am safe, when You are in my life. I have no need to fear, for You are by my side. I love You Lord. Amen.

Christians Can Be Deceived

As hard times come to all believers in Christ, our daily prayers, Bible study, fellowship with other believers, and doing God’s will, will be our refuge in the storms.

Luke 21:14,15

Luke 21:14,15 (KJV)

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

Today’s Prayer (08/25/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Lord, I know that only You can bring us to be honest, loving and forgiving people. We can try all we want to do these things on our own but we will always come up short. Our own goodness may seem right but without You, there is no substitute. I know this Lord, for I tried to do the same things for way to many years in my life. And in this, my own great ideas always came with consequences and shame. And now, my mind has now been opened as to why. Without You, there is only darkness. I was lost in my own way of living and thinking. Then, when I came to You in prayer, my eyes were opened. Where I could not be honest and often find myself in hard times, there was a new confidence that You put inside of me. And this change of mind also added honesty. Because You are my confidence, now I only want to be truthful, no matter the consequence. Because I have found grace in Your eyes, it doesn’t matter what other people think. Even when people are hurtful, You help me show love to them. There are no more walls but forgiveness. As You have shown me mercy and forgiveness I am able to show the same to people in my life. Thank You for instilling these characteristics of honesty, love and forgiveness. I am so grateful. I love You Lord. Amen.

Honesty And Love

We are incapable of loving as Christ does, but with Him in our lives, we gain the true capacity to love one another as He does.
