Today’s Prayer (08/13/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, we praise You. Through the storms of life, You have come through. You have heard our cries and shown us great mercy. Nothing is like Your compassion. Nothing is like Your kindness and love. Your compassion has pierced through every bit of shame and raised me up into newness of life. Your love has broken every chain and brought me into Your light. I made new through Your blood. What was once sadness has been replaced with gladness. All my fears are gone, for You have come to my rescue. I am safe in Your arms. Nothing can lead me away from Your love. You have made me confident in my faith. My zeal to follow You increases day by day. The day that You forgave my sins, a fire was lit in my soul to serve You, my King. It is an honor to walk with You, my Lord. You are all mighty to save. All blessings and honor to Your holy Name. All the praises to You, my God. I lift You up higher than all things. My heart sings out to You, my Savior and friend. I rejoice in the Messiah, that has come, to save us all from our sins. I love You. Amen.

It Is So Good To Praise The Lord

Let it be my witness that God is almighty and willing to save us as sinners. He is all merciful and kind. “I called upon the Lord in distress” and “the Lord answered me.”

Today’s Prayer (08/12/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, please help more people realize the things that they are doing wrong, that they may repent before they die. I pray that more people will be saved in the day of judgement. Help those in the faith find these people and be faithful in sharing the gospel with them. In so doing, may they love on these people, as You love us so much. May we share the same love with our neighbor as You have shown towards us. We desire to live inside Your will, Lord. Convict every person that is far from You to repentance, including us. Lead us from every form of darkness that we may be encompassed in Your light. If there is someone that is need, lead us to them. Help us carry their burdens as You carry ours. Help us no longer pass by people on the streets that are struggling but stop and care for them. If it is by money, food, giving them a place to stay, praying for them, or whatever it may be, help us know how to properly care for their needs. We long to live for You and no longer for this world. Make us wise in Your presence. Give us counsel and lead us by Your hand. You are our deliverer and we trust in You, Jesus. We believe in You Lord. We love You. Amen.

Are You Wicked Or Wise?

Every person that neglects their opportunity to repent is wicked. They will be judged and be found guilty.

Proverbs 20:27,28

Proverbs 20:27,28 (KJV)

Today’s Prayer (08/11/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, thank You for receiving me in prayer. I believe in You Lord. Only You could do such a great work in my life. Thank You for shining down upon me and hearing my cries. All my burdens are lifted because of Your mercy. Though I was weak and could not turn from my sins, You had compassion upon me and took my hand and led me on to safety. What I was unable to do for myself, You have stepped in and did the rest. I am so grateful for Your forgiveness. Only You could see through the wickedness in my life and replace it with Your love. I am so grateful that my heart was open to receive You. I would never have known what true love is, if I had not made that choice. I would be stuck in my sins and terrified about death and judgement. Now Lord, I am so happy. Your counsel is what I need in life to go onward in faith. Your love is healing to my soul. You are everything to me Jesus. I am honored to serve You, my King. I can’t wait till the day that I can see You, before Your throne. I will be in tears, as I finally am before my Savior and my love. I love You with all my heart. You are my refuge and whom I trust. Amen.

Proverbs 20:6,7

Today’s Prayer (08/10/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray for those that are addicted to alcohol. Will You come into their lives and deliver them this day? I know that these strong drinks are evil and will only bring us away from Your presence. You are unable to come into our lives when we are freely clouding our minds. I pray this night for sobriety. Bring clarity to people’s minds like never before. Help them see what they are missing out on when they giving themselves over to drinking. Help them know that You cannot dwell inside of them when they are dwelling in darkness. Lord, I’ve seen so many people casually drink, get drunk and go downtown to bars like it is nothing. And it really saddens me when I see somebody I know that says they are a Christian do such things. My heart is troubled by this and I know that this is because their faith is not firm but on the rocks. Encourage these people, through Your Word and through prayer. Convict them of their wrongs and give them wise counsel to stop. I know that only You can break the chains of addiction. I trust in You, Jesus. Help me share your gospel truths with them, that they may have a desire to change their lives. I love You. Amen.

Quit Drinking And Be Sober Minded

I pray that everyone in the faith that has a drinking problem will eventually come to their senses and give it over to God in prayer.

James 4:7,8

James 4:7,8 (KJV)
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

 

Today’s Prayer (08/09/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, convict us of our faults. Bring to light every sin that quenches the Spirit. Break us free from every addiction. Help us let go of all the bondage in our lives. May every lustful thought be removed from our minds. Cleanse our hearts and free us from our guilt. Forgive us Lord. We believe in You and are sorry. Have mercy upon our souls. We need You in our lives to overcome temptation. We are weak without You. You make us strong to resist the evils of this world. Give us clean hands and a pure heart. Empower us to walk in the Spirit and no longer after our own lusts. May we live a life pleasing in Your sight. This is our hearts desire Lord. We come humbly before Your throne, this day, to be sanctified. To be made clean. We want to be on Your path and to do Your will. Speak to us Lord. Lead us safely on this new journey of faith. Supply our needs as we put our trust fully in You, dear Lord. You are our good Shepherd. Take us into Your fold and lead to truth everlasting. We love You. Amen.

Belief In Jesus Is A Life Change

As we read the Bible, it is crystal clear that to believe and walk in faith, is also a life change. We no longer walk after the lusts of the flesh but in the Holy Spirit.

Proverbs 19:28,29

Proverbs 19:28,29 (KJV)
28 An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
29 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

 

Today’s Prayer (08/08/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, please help people realize the necessity to learn from You. Help them understand that the things of this world only deter them from coming to You for wisdom. There is no lasting happiness in doing things that please the flesh but only guilt. Deliver them from such wicked acts. So much time is wasted with smart phones now-a-days. Even people in the faith are going off track because their time is spent apart from You. Help people see what these devices are doing to them. Satan has a stronghold on people’s lives and we all need Your deliverance. Instead of going off track, because of the lusts of our flesh and our personal devices, change us from within. Give us new desires to walk in Your light and use the things we have for Your glory. If it is to read the Bible from our smart phones, give us these desires. If it is to download devotional apps that draw us nearer to You, help us do that also. Whatever you would have us do, lead us in these things. Draw us nearer to You Jesus and away from the sins of this world. We wish to develop a personal relationship with You God. You are our only hope and we trust in You for salvation. We believe in You. We love You. Amen.

Learn From God And His Word

Though a person of faith may desire to come to learn from God, Satan uses many different things to deter them.
