Oh Lord, I am so sorry for what I have done. I know that I have done terrible things, which are evil in Your sight, and I just ask for You to forgive me. I am ready to give these things up today. I confess these things to You because only You can forgive me. Hear my cries and have compassion for my soul. This I plead. I need Your mercy to get over what I have done. You are the Lord God of all and I freely accept You as Lord of my life also. Help lead me from here on out. May I begin to live the life that You have prepared for me. Take this old life and make me new. Cleanse me of all my sins. I offer You my heart and my soul to You, that I might do Your will instead of my own. I ask that You do a work in me now and for the rest of my life. I am ready and willing to go and do what You would ask of me. Lead me by the hand, God. What You desire, I will do. I fully surrender to You now. Change my life, that I might walk in Your light, and that darkness may scatter. I desire to be comformed to Your ways and not my own. Lead me from temptation, dear Lord. I need Your help all the rest of my days. From here on out will I seek You daily in Your Word and in prayer, that You build me up through the Holy Spirit. Give me the strength to resist the devil. I know that only through Your Name, Jesus, can we be saved. Therefore, I proclaim that You are my Savior, Lord, and God, whom I trust. From now on and until the end of my time will I follow You. I give You, Jesus, glory, and praise. Amen.

Today’s Prayer (06/10/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will become more desirous to live for You and not their own lives. That doing Your will, will become a priority for them. That when people say they love You, that they will actually mean it. That instead of just worshipping in church, that they will also worship You in their home, work, car, and on the streets. Even every day will they come to You in prayer and studying Your Word, which is in the Bible. What I am asking for is more people that are genuine to their belief system and not just say something they don’t care for. Each day I look around and see that Your harvest is so ripe, but there is hardly anyone available to do things for Your kingdom. Instead, people make it a point to tune into their favorite TV Show, sports team, movies, or video games, while all this time is wasted away. So many people that say they are Christians are no different than people of this world. At least the wicked are not hypocrites, but actually do what they say they believe in. Lord, my heart is heavy just knowing that even pastors are teaching their congregation that being obedient to You is no longer important, but to have faith alone. To this, I wonder if these pastors are really saved and covered by Your blood, Jesus. If they were, then they would know that our love for You is shown through our obedience to You. Surely, we love You as we keep Your commandments, as You have taught us, oh Lord. And I know that it was never supposed to be difficult, for You have sent the Holy Spirit to be our comforter. Therefore, doing Your will is that much easier to accomplish. Doing Your will should never be a struggle, for we have the Holy Spirit and even Your angels to bear us up when things are hard. I give You thanks, dear Lord, for being there for us. Even the day that we commit to believe in and do Your will, though it may seem hard in the beginning. I know that You will open doors and allow us to shine forth as You have planned for our lives. Thank You, Lord. I believe in You and will follow You all my days. I love You more than anything. Amen.
Matthew 9:35-38
Matthew 9:35-38 (KJV)
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Today’s Prayer (06/09/2020)
Oh Lord, thank You for this day and every day that I have breath. It is a pleasure to wake up and know that there is a new day to serve You. It brings me great joy just to follow You and no longer be pained because of my old lifestyle. Thank You for hearing my cries and helping me turn from my sins and follow You. It was sure worth it. I would not want to go back to my old way of living for any amount of money in this world. This new life is meaningful and I feel so much love and peace now. My life has been amazing, since my day of baptism. You have filled me up with the Holy Spirit, the day I came out of the water, and now Your fire radiates out of my whole being. My only desire now is to be a light unto the world. Not to experience the pleasures of the flesh, but to experience the pleasures of the Holy Spirit. There is joy in this world and it is found in You. Everything else is only for a time and space and often has consequences with it, but Your joy is eternal and brings along with it a clean conscience. It is much different than feeling pleasures in the moment, but then being wracked with guilt afterward. What You offer us has no pain involved with it. If there are tears, it is tears of joy and longsuffering. One thing I know is that sickness still comes our way, but having Your presence near makes it easier to endure. I know that this life is a vapor and will end sooner than we know it. Therefore, I see each day as the day of Your return or my last day to serve You. So I go about my day as if it is my last. I will not leave this earth, having fallen back into sin and death, but will continue to serve You valiantly. I only wish to love You and my neighbor. If people are blessed, I am happy. If people come to You and are helped in any way, then I am well pleased. I love You more than anything the world offers. All I desire is to be with You, Lord Jesus, now and forever. One day, I will run to You when this life is over. I will run into Your arms, dear Lord, and tell You how much I love You, praise you, and adore You. Amen.

Today’s Prayer (06/08/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that more people will develop a generous and kind heart. That more people will desire to help the less fortunate, and also give what they can for their needs. I know that I have gained a lot from the jobs You have given me, so it is the least I can do to help other people who have fallen into difficult and dark times. Lord, help me find people like this, that I might pray with them, and help them in their time of need. I will do all that I am able, with Your by my side. You are the supplier of all of our needs, and I just pray that what I have to offer will bless other people’s lives. I may not be rich, but what I do have can go a long way to helping Your kingdom and those in it. Lord, take everything that You have given me now and allow others to benefit because of it. You have given me so much and are also able to take away. As for me, please take and give to the homeless, the pour, the full-time missionaries, and anyone else who is hurting financially right now. Who is it for me to take and not give to someone else who is more in need than myself. My money is Your money. I love You more than what money can give me. What brings me the greatest joy, Lord, is what Your money and my service can do for the growth of Your kingdom. Surely, I am only a spec of sand on a seashore, but if more people were willing to give to others in need, then more and more people would be blessed also. Lord, it is my desire to deliver peace, even the peace that goes beyond our own comprehension. The peace, joy, love, and compassion, that can only come from You. So dwell with me all my days, that people will see You in me. I only wish to be a blessing in other people’s lives, not a burden. I love You, Lord. It is a great pleasure to also love my neighbors as myself. Amen.
2 Kings 8:1-6
2 Kings 8:1-6 (KJV)
1 Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the Lord hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.
2 And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
3 And it came to pass at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.
4 And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.
5 And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.

Today’s Prayer (06/07/2020)
Oh Lord, I believe in You. I trust in You. I know that You are there for us now as You have always been there for us over the centuries. It is just up to people now to realize what You can do for them, before any impact can be made for them for the better. I know first hand that Your hand of mercy is real. That You are able to take a person like me and move and shape me into the person I ought to be for Your kingdom. My amount of sins were great, but You still looked past them and had mercy for my soul. I am amazed that You were able to take me by the hand and also kick Satan to the curb. I was not left helpless, but have Your comfort and peace to carry me onward all my days. Even temptation is easier to withstand, because You dwell with me in my heart. Wow. You are such a great God, who loves us more than we will ever know. Thank You for protecting me these many months and years since I came to You in prayer. The enemies have been near, even at the door, and still You have not let me face them alone. Thank You for building me up and allowing me to have the necessary strength to fight these battles. I know that You are always watching out for me and others that truly love You with all our hearts. Even Your angels are here also to help us, that we may not fall. They comfort us, and I am so grateful to have them near me at all times. One day I know that I will be with You, my Lord, and all the angels in Your heavenly abode. What a wonderful time this will be. Until then, keep me safe from the storms of life. Help me draw near unto You and not the things of this world. Keep me from falling into sin, that I may the Holy Spirit with me at all times. My desire is to shine Your light, that all people will see You in me. Then will more people desire to have what You have given me, and also run to You as their personal Savior. I love You, Lord. Amen.
2 Kings 7:3-7
2 Kings 7:3-7 (KJV)
3 And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.
6 For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
7 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.

Today’s Prayer (06/06/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that we can all get to the point of not fearing the enemy, but to trust in You for our safety. Our earthly enemies may want to kill and destroy us, but to these wicked people, we will show kindness and compassion. Even love will flow through me and into the lives who hate me. Who is it for me to hate anyone, but hate their sin alone. I love my neighbors and am willing to love my enemies, even to the point of death. As You died for the sins of the world, there are many people who have become martyrs because of their great faith in You, Lord Jesus. We cannot deny what we know and love and will continue to share the truths of Your gospel message, even until our dying breath. As for the spiritual warfare that is taking many souls to hell, I pray that all Christians will rise up in faith, that the enemy will no longer have power over them. Give these people over to righteousness and holiness, which Satan hates. Help people know what it means to walk out our faith and not be just like the world any longer. For You have made us different. We are born again in the Holy Spirit, and now have new desires to live and act for Your kingdom. It is so refreshing to know that You have cleansed me of all my sins and that I am forgiven. How could You save a wretch like me? I will always be amazed at the work You have done in my life and many others like me. What great compassion and love is in You Lord. Your mercy endures forever. I love You, Lord. You are the rock upon which I stand. No enemy will take me down, for I will always rise up to follow You. Amen.

2 Kings 6:15-17 (KJV)
15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

Today’s Prayer (06/05/2020)
Oh Lord, I love to proclaim the good news of Your gospel on the streets. I love to see people draw near unto You and stray further away from the things of this world. It is amazing to see people want to pray with me for Salvation and desire to be healed. I know it is not me that is leading these people, but You in this prayer of salvation and healing. I have seen many people come to faith, just because I decided to step out of my house and do something great for Your kingdom. Sure, I could have sat idly by and watched some shows on TV or Netflix, but instead, I put those things aside and put You first. Doing this day in and day out has changed my way of life and way of thinking. Now I know that so many things like video games, TV, and phone apps are just time wasters. Surely, this is Satan’s ploy to lure more people away from Your kingdom, and not be for it. This is so sad that people would rather be filled up with the junk of this world, instead of being filled up in Your presence. And how can people go on and say they are Christians if they are not living in Your light? If we were in Your light, then we would be shining forth for all to see. Even our lives would become holy vessels for the building up of Your kingdom. This is where You can take a person like me and rear them up to become Your messenger. Surely, I am not a good speaker. I often stutter and get nervous in big crowds. However, all this changes after I pray and simply step out in faith. All the anxiety is turned into boldness. There is no more fear because Your strength abides in me. My stuttering disappears and I am able to speak with Words from Heaven. You open my mouth and deliver to people glad tidings of great joy. It is life-changing, and we really need more people on the streets with me and others. I see so many people I cannot reach on my own, but they would be reached if people would step out in faith with us. Lord, would You open people’s hearts to become an evangelist? I pray this will happen. In Your mighty Name, I pray this. I love You. Amen.
Romans 10:13-15
Romans 10:13-15 (KJV)
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

Today’s Prayer (06/04/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will understand the importance of doing what You say, no matter if it entails work from our end. I know in life that all things are not given over to me or others on a silver platter, but we have to work to achieve things as well. The same I’ve learned from You. There are things that You have called me to do, and only by doing these things have I gained a deeper and richer knowledge of Your Word. It took making time for You each day, and opening and studying the Bible a couple hours each time. Then, my eyes were fully opened to doing Your will and not my own. Even my passion for going on the streets and doing evangelism didn’t come to fruition until I made it a weekly occurrence. Then, the Holy Spirit came alive in me and I was able to see many souls be saved and come to You. Even people were healed left and right, just through praying for them. Some of these healing came later on, while others were on the spot. For this reason, I know that not everything happens in our time, but Yours. You are the author of our healing, so I leave it up to You when this will fully come to pass in my life and others I pray for. One thing I know is that I do not need to have recognition for things I do for You. I would actually hope that things were done in a way that people would run to You and not me. I am only Your servant, and my desire, Lord, is to only lead people to know You, Jesus, as their personal Savior. I need no gifts or money from people while I am out and about doing Your work. Instead, people should be honoring You with their gifts, not people. Yes, Lord, we are to come to You in worship and praise, not man. We do this while delivering up to You our whole hearts to serve and to know You better each day. My gifts are heavenly, not from this earth. What You do for me brings me joy and peace that lasts. I love You. Amen.
2 Kings 5:14-16
2 Kings 5:14-16 (KJV)
14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
15 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.
16 But he said, As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.
2 Kings 5:9-12
2 Kings 5:9-12 (KJV)
9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.
11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.
12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
