“For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.” (1 Peter 3:12)
Oh Lord, I pray that we will get right with You now if we are not already. People know deep down in their hearts if their faith is alive or dead. And if I was them, I would be running to You. Even in prayer, I pray that people will confess their sins and unbelief unto You. What a great release this will be for not only themselves then, but for the future, come judgment day. Surely, if we find mercy from Your hand on earth and die having found favor in Your sight, then we have nothing to fear. It is when we are led by the flesh and do things we believe are good, that we forget Your hand for our lives. This is when we drift from the path, and unfortunately, it is so difficult to bring that person back to You. Justifications have already set in for their current lifestyle, and unless the Holy Spirit is there to pierce their hearts it might take years before things click in their hearts and minds. But Lord, I pray that we will not give up on people who have gone astray. That we will continue to pray for them individually, as a family, and as a church. And when the time is right to talk to that person who is broken, we will let You give us the words to speak. Lord, if we are doing the talking, I know that nothing good will come out of it, but more arguments and fights. So please do the work in us. Have Your hand in everything we do. As much I want to be found worthy after I die, I want my friends, family, and others I meet to also be worthy. So help us light up our lamps, that when You do return, we will be ready to meet You. Even before You in judgment, God, will we anxiously await the time that our names are called. I love You, Jesus. You are my God and I worship You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people from all around the world will begin to seek You like never before. Time is a ticking for each person who currently has breath. But I am afraid that only a few of them will be saved. This is because they have not put You first, but other things instead. Instead of reading the Bible and praying daily, while walking out their faith, they have allowed other things to become their gods. Yes, God, even those who profess to know You, Jesus, are really goats, of which You will separate from the sheep on the day of the resurrection. Those on Your right hand will be Your sheep, of which are redeemed through Your blood, but on Your left will be the goats, of which missed the mark from being forgiven through Your blood. And because of this, I am afraid that there will be a lot of regrets, guilt, and shame built up on the day of judgment also. When they see themselves in the lines, where the wicked are, they will then know that they are also counted with the hypocrites. I pray that this doesn’t have to happen to people who still have breath, but that they will repent of all their sins and unbelief. There is still time for them, Lord, to find rest in Your presence. It is just up to these people to come unto You with their whole hearts in this life. Then, will their faith become alive in You. A faith that is lit in the Holy Spirit. Where the Spirit is now leading them by their hands and feet. This will take a miracle, but I know that many people will turn to follow You before all is set and done. That is why I go out and witness and write messages of hope. May more people who are lost be saved and come into Your loving arms of mercy. I believe in You. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will come to the saving knowledge of You, Jesus. That they will come to You in faith and accept You as Lord of their lives. Then, will they be able to come to the waters of baptism and have all their sins be forgiven. I believe what the Bible says about being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. This makes what we do in baptism so important. We die to ourselves and rise up as a new person in You, Jesus, even Christ the Lord. I believe what has been written, for it is written in my heart also. Surely, each day that I read the Bible, I learn much more than the day before. My heart is always open to what You have to teach me, God. So continue to lead me in the things I need to learn and do in this life. May the Spirit abide with me every day and every hour. My desire is to follow You, Jesus, and do as You say. So I ask that the Spirit will open my mouth and lead me in what I need to say. I am here now, only to be Your hands and feet on this earth. If I cannot be an example for You, Jesus, on earth then I am failing You. Therefore, have Your way in my life now and in the future also. If I ever fall asleep to the things of God, slap me in the face and wake me up. Do not let the enemy take me down into paths that are full of darkness and destruction. I have tasted what it means to be filled up with lust and the pleasures of this world and it never ends well. I am always guilt-ridden and have a hard time knowing my way afterward. Therefore, I will rest in You, Jesus, today and forever. I love You, Lord. You are my God and I worship You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will begin to respect and listen to Your servants on earth. There is always a message for every onlooker if they would just open their ears to hear. Surely, every true witness has Your message in their hearts at all times, ever ready to share the hope of the gospel. As for me, I am so happy that You have led me in the harvest over the years. I have seen many people come to faith, along with people be healed of their sicknesses. The homeless have been fed, people have been prayed for, Bibles have been passed out in lots, along with thousands of gospel tracts passed out. All this was for Your glory God. Even recently, You have elevated my ministry to preaching and teaching on street corners. With this new PA System (Microphone and speaker), I know that I can now reach more people for Your kingdom. Soon, I will be in Utah, come April, with my dear friend and brother in the faith, Patrick Roy. There, we will go forth and declare the gospel to every person that has ears to hear. I know that we will be in Mormon territory, but my desire is to lead them and anybody else to know You, Jesus. This will not come soon enough, but until this happens, continue to lead me in the harvest, here in Boise, Idaho. Help me to reach many more people for Your kingdom, while I am walking the streets. There is much more to be done, but oh so few workers to be found. So I pray that people will awake to their callings You have for their lives. Lead them also to pack the trunks of their cars with gospel tracts, bibles, water, hats, gloves, and more. Then, will they also be ready to help those who are really in need. And what is better than to pray with them and lead them to know You through the gospel message of the cross? Nothing is. I love You, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that we will learn from scripture and follow the examples of people we read about. Of course, following Your perfect example for us, Jesus, is the most important of all, but others also that You were leading is also great. I see what Paul did when You called him to be your witness in all the world as a great example for us in the faith. I love how he responded so favorably to Your calling for his life and simply ran with it. It would be awesome to see others in the faith with the same ambition that Paul had as an evangelist. Also, when he was advised to be baptized for the remission of sins, he jumped at it. This shows great faith and a willingness to do whatever he was called to do. I just pray that we will also receive You as Lord of our lives and also be baptized if we haven’t been already. So many people, even pastors, now downplay the importance of baptism and make it not important anymore. Lord, I have had way too many conversations with people who are convinced that nobody needs to be baptized any longer, and when we do it is simply taking a bath and nothing more. To these people, I ask, Lord, that You will open their eyes to verses all throughout the New Testament, like in Mark 16:15-16, Acts 2:37-40, Acts 22:14-16, Romans 6:3-6, Galatians 3:24-27, and many others. You told us to also to believe and be baptized, and we shall be saved. No wonder why baptism was emphasized all throughout the rest of the books of the New Testament after You ascended up into heaven. Surely, Your disciples continued Your work on earth, as we should be continuing today. This I pray, Lord, will happen. Continue Your work as it is in heaven. I love You, God. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that we will all learn to be led by the Holy Spirit and not our own flesh. Keep our eyes fixed upon You, God, that we may walk in Your abundant light and not in darkness. It is not my desire to do things that go against Your will, but to be led by Your hand in every which way in my life. Therefore, do whatever You need to in my life and every believer’s life also, while removing anything that is keeping us from following You completely. Every bad habit and addiction we give it all to you, Jesus. Show us what is causing us to sin against You, that we may not fall back in those sinful ways again. I do not wish to quench the Holy Spirit and I know that my dear brothers and sisters in the faith do not wish to also. Sometimes we do things not knowing we are causing any harm to our stance with You, God. So bring things to our recollection, that we may not continue doing things that seem good on the outside, but are filthy on the inside. Yes, God, I ask that You lead me by the hand. As I pray earnestly now, open my eyes to what needs to happen next. Help me to know who I need to speak to, in order to share Your gospel truths with them. My time is Yours, so keep me inline with Your laws and statutes for my life. Your Word, the Bible, is a lamp unto my feet, so lead me as I read and study it daily. May Your words be imprinted on my heart at all times. Then, will I know Your counsel for my life and not be led astray. I love You, Jesus. I will follow You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that we will earnestly seek Your face. That we will remain in Your presence. Then, can You move in our lives and do great things in and through us. I believe in You, Jesus, my Lord, and my God. I trust in Your promises for my life and for other people who I have and will come in contact with. If people would simply call upon Your Name in prayer, they could understand the Bible truths even better and find out the importance of their own lives for Your kingdom. It doesn’t have to be a mystery when it comes to knowing Your will for our lives. People like to think that You are distant and do not acknowledge us when we pray or read the Bible. But I would ask these same people how often they seek Your face, pray by themselves and with people, read the Bible by themselves and with people, worship God by themselves and with people, go to church and work for the church, do service for their neighbors and other people who are in need, help feed and clothe the homeless and needy, and evangelize Your truths to the world. As I just spoke, there is so much more we could all be doing for You, God. But other things have clouded people’s lives. Instead of shining brightly for You in this darkened world, people have allowed the darkness to enter their lives. And because people are not reading the Bible daily on their own and with their family, people and their families are being led astray. I am afraid, God, that only a few people who go to church now are truly seeking You with their whole hearts within those walls and without. I pray that more people will be true to their faith and be saved. This is my prayer, God. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will help each one of us understand the importance of baptism, the same way the earlier church already did. Even the importance of receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit after baptism has been performed. I believe it when You said, Jesus, that we need to be born again of the Spirit, in order to enter the kingdom of God. What You say means more to me than anything else in this world. It is more important than gold. I am richer than anyone else when Your wisdom is in my life and I am being led by the Holy Spirit. Otherwise, I am nothing without You, God. Truly, it is my desire to be in Your presence and not let the influences of the world take hold of my life. That is why I rely wholeheartedly upon the gift of the Holy Spirit. People say that nothing happens in baptism, but as Your Word speaks, this is when we die to our old self and are raised up in newness of life in Christ Jesus. Yes, Jesus, we rise up from the influences from the evil world, the day we are baptized. Then, because the Holy Spirit is confirmed upon us through prayer, we have a guide that cannot lead us astray. Our conscience can only do so much, but can not lead us from temptation. It can help us to know what is right and wrong, but the Holy Spirit can do much more for us. Surely, with the giftings of the Holy Spirit, we can do the work of the church on earth. And as Your hands and feet, I will do as You say, my Lord. Lead me all the days of my life. I love You, Jesus. I worship You, God. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will keep our hands pure before You. Help us think clearly and not lust upon others. What I’ve realized is that the flesh is weak, especially when it comes to sexual sin, or what people would call sexual immorality. The flesh desires such things, especially when temptations come our way, but we often don’t realize what we have done until the deed is done. It is at this point that we can continue to hide our sins before people and hope it doesn’t come to the light, or finally come to grips with it and repent before You, God. The latter is what I desire most people would do, but I am afraid more people than not are justifying their sinful actions, while continuing to hide things from people they love. What they do not realize is that it is a lie from the pit of hell that anything can be hidden from Your sight. Even can people who are filled with the Holy Spirit see when people have fallen into sin also. You give us new eyes and ears to discern if a person is sincere or not in the faith. There are able to do so many things for those that put their faith and trust in You. Surely, You are mighty to save the least of us. Therefore, do I look to You, Lord, every hour. I love You more than anything else. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will understand how much You so desire for us to enter Your kingdom when we die. As You promised, there are mansions for those people who trust in You in this life. And I can’t believe how short this life really is. It seems like yesterday that I was so young and was being brought up by two wonderful parents in my dad and my mom, but now as I am older, they are both gone and passed away. It is so sad, God, to see people I love, pass on to the grave, especially my mother, who recently died yesterday. It was a sad day for sure and many tears were shed, but one thing I know is that people who truly loved You in this life, have nothing to fear in the next. Do I know that my mother is saved and is with You now in paradise? I do not, but pray that You saw her heart for You, Jesus. You saw all those times she prayed and earnestly sought You in this life. During my visits to see her, I shared the gospel with her, and she did respond favorably to it. I am so happy she even went to some Bible studies with me during those years in the assisted living facility. Thank You, Lord, for opening her heart to give that a chance and to trust in You even more than ever before. Even in those last moments that I was with her, I read from Your Word, the Bible, about the abundant peace that awaits every believer in heaven. How there are mansions up there and no more sorrow, death, or pain. I pray that she was comforted in those last moments by these words. Certainly, there is salvation from Your hands alone and not any religion on earth. Therefore, I come to You daily as Your son who believes in and loves You with all his heart. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that we will all be ready when You return. Many people who read this prayer today may not be with us tomorrow, next month, next year, or even years to come. But what matters is what they have done in this life. Though our bodies are asleep in the dust in the earth, as You have spoken, our spirits will return to them in that day. We will either have been in paradise or been suffering in hell. And it is my prayer that people in the faith will be true to their belief in You, Jesus, and find themselves in paradise before Your return. For we know that the day You return, our spirits will return to our bodies and then either be rewarded by You, Jesus, or have to go before You in judgment. Surely, it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. And I do not wish to be one of those who are in the myriads of lines awaiting their fate. Instead, I wish to be Your elect and go before You worthy. It is my prayer that I will hear You say, “well done, thy good and faithful servant. Come into my presence, my dear beloved child”. This is waking up unto everlasting life, where there will be no more pain, sorrow, or death. On the other hand, my soul cries out for people to turn to You before it is too late. I do not wish people to rise from the graves unto everlasting torment, shame, and regret. This is when people who are unworthy will be tossed into the lake of fire. But I know that You, Jesus, is a just God, and will deal with people justly. I believe in You, Lord. Lead me to more people, who will be receptive to Your message of hope. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people of all around the world will learn to love You through their actions and not just their belief system. That their faith will speak loudly of how much they truly love You. Even a life saved that shines our light brightly, that Jesus is our Lord. What people need is a relationship with You, but I am afraid that other things have begun to fill this void. The world we live in is so seductive on the outside but so deadly on the inside. I see millions of people on the path of destruction and them not even being aware of it. So wake them up, Jesus. Help me and others in the faith find these lost souls also, that we may help lead them to know You. I know that the seeds we plant can take root in these right people’s lives if they would just turn to You in faith. Faith can move mountains. I believe in You. I love You, God. I give You praise and glory. Even forever and forever. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will be able to see You in us. Yes, God, may our dedication to do Your will be more than what we do at church, but outside those walls also. I wish for each person to see Jesus in me, but I know that this can only happen if the Holy Spirit is abounding with me. So Lord, keep me in right standing with You at all times. Help me to not fall victim to temptation, and fight the fight with me in these battles. I am stronger with You. And as for my sins, I am sorry for going against Your will. Forgive me God. Help me to stay focused on what is most important in life and not on things that are only time wasters and do nothing good for the soul. Surely, TV is one of those things that destroys our relationship with You. It can be videos, TV shows, or movies we watch, or even video games. And if we do not get control over it, it will take control over us. I know this to be true God, and I pray that You will destroy every ambition within me to watch or play anything that goes against Your will. Destroy that part of me that wants to do things that have nothing to do with working for Your kingdom or being a good husband and parent for my children. I only desire to lead my family in the ways of the Lord and I know that this can only happen if I continue to rest in Your presence. And so I rest now and abide with You, Jesus. I love You, God. I give You praise and honor. Amen.
Dear Lord, You know my heart for You and it is sincere. I love You with all my heart. But there is one person who I wish to be saved before she takes her last breath. Yes, God, it is my mother, who raised me up to believe in You also. May she continue to trust in You, even before her last breath on this earth. I have tried to encourage her to look to You in all things in faith and to endure the suffering. To remain strong with You by her side. I pray that she has listened, and as she has encouraged me over the years to also not lose faith, may she not also. Not in religion, but You, Jesus, unto salvation. I want there to be a wonderful reunion come death. May she be raised up in death and into life eternal. Where she will not only be with You forever in all eternity but also be with others she knew and knew of in the family who also remained steadfast in You. I pray that she will hear those words, “well done, my beloved child”. Her faith in You alone will definitely save her, not what other people have told her saves. Lord, it breaks my heart to know that my dear mother is soon to pass on, but comfort me, my family, and my friends, who also love her as much as I do. Give us strength to carry on and to know that she will be in a better place when her last day here does come. As she sang and played instruments so beautifully in this life, may that continue in heaven. I love You, Jesus. You are my God and I will trust in You, even until the very end of this life and the next. Keep my faith lit in the Holy Spirit. I will go and do as You say, my Father and dear friend. In Jesus’s Name. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will help each one of us to not pass judgments upon others wrongfully. Help us love people to a point of leading them to You. Then, can You take them in the state they are in and cast out all the darkness. We cannot do this, but trust in You to lead Your elect on the path of righteousness. This cannot happen if people are saying bad things about people or if we are condemning people to hell. I have learned the hard way that this is so wrong and even hurts my walk with You also. So thank You for taking away the judgment from my heart towards others, including people of other religions. What I have realized is that salvation can only come from You, Jesus. And not every person is walking on Your path perfectly, but if they love You with their whole heart, salvation is near to them if not already given. I just trust that people will keep listening to You throughout their lives. Only then can they finally escape any false teachings they are under and also be removed from any bad habits and addictions in their lives. Loving You and others does great things in a person’s life. It changes us on the outside and in. The same way You took a wretch like me and tore out of my wicked heart every false and sinful way, You can do the same for anyone. I was resistant in the beginning, but I am grateful that I did follow through with Your plans and let You do a work in me that I was unable to do on my own. I love You, Jesus. You can move mountains in people’s if they would just listen to You and do as You say. You can also help us not judge others, but lead people to You. This I believe. Amen.
Oh Lord, thank You for everything You have done for me. Thank You, Lord, for paying the penalty for my sins on the cross. Although it was some time ago that all this took place, I can still imagine the pain and anguish You must have gone through for the sake of me and all of mankind. The very thought of You suffering is hard to take in and bear, but I know it had to happen. You were always called to be the Lamb of God, who was to take away the sins of the world. And as a believer, I know it would be silly of me to create a building for You to dwell in. You were never supposed to be confined to a box, but to indwell in us. Therefore, I come to You daily in earnest prayer, that the Spirit may be with me at all times. This is when I am made much stronger to resist temptation and do Your will, than when I am in the flesh alone. I stumble when I think I have everything figured out. This is when I become the weakest, for I think that I am better than others in my pride. Thankfully, this doesn’t happen as often anymore. You have ripped out of my life every ounce of pride and replaced it with Your love. So I will continue in Your love, that others will also experience Your love through me. Shine brightly, Lord, even through a person like me. Whatever I can do for Your kingdom, move me to the front of the line. I am here to serve You and do as You say. You have my heart! I love You, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray for more salvations. That more people will call upon Your Name, Jesus, and be saved. That they will come to faith that You are the Lord of their lives and allow You to take control. Only then, can these good people come to terms with what it means to be saved? Of which entails the Holy Spirit leading them and not the flesh. And it all begins with a little faith and the waters of baptism. This is where You are able to change that person and give them a new life. Yes, God, the moment I came out of the waters is when I became a new creation in Christ Jesus. You filled me with the Holy Spirit and my sins of the past were all washed away. Thank You, God. I would not be the person I am today if I never went in and out of those waters. I would still be desiring to know You, but never know You the way I do now. My flesh would be in control and not You if I never went forth and got baptized. Something amazing happened that day, and I believe that You truly put the Holy Spirit in me as I came out of those waters. I was not able to remove the pornography addiction from my life until I was baptized. Lust took over my life before this time and I had no way out. Before the Spirit came, I could not remove this sin on my own. Therefore, I am so grateful that the Spirit came that day. I no longer have to worry about removing any bad habits on my own any longer. For as long as I follow You, those bad desires are immediately removed. Wow! I am amazed at all You have done for me and are doing for millions of others in this world. I give You glory and praise. You desire our respect and honor, this day and forever. I believe in You, Lord. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, thank You for teaching me something new when it comes to abstaining from idolatry, fornication, and the eating of meat that is strangled or if the blood is not cooked out. I knew about idolatry and fornication, but after reading Acts, chapter 15, I can now see the issues with the eating of meat that is strangled or if the blood is not cooked out. And I would not want to do anything that would cause my dear Jews to stumble also. They may keep the whole Mosaic law still, but for me to do these few things also, there will be less animosity around us and more peace and love. So I am grateful for this chapter and everything it has taught me, God. As I have been from the beginning, my heart is open to truth from the heavens above. So continue to pour into me Your truth, which is greater than men. I believe in You, Lord. Only You can help me abstain from such things. Especially fornication, which is my biggest downfall, according to my past experiences. Earlier in my years, I could not do this, but now I am able to. You are able to keep my sexual fantasies at bay. Even lust for women is much less now, as I continue to abide in You, Lord. You have also stopped my desire to look at porn, because of Your hand over my life. You keep me in the ways of righteousness. Thank You, God. Certainly, I am not alone when I fight and win against different temptations. You are with me in these trying times and it is so sweet to come out victorious. I love You, God. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will no longer be entangled in idolatry. Too many people are looking for recognition for what they do and even give that recognition to others. Where the recognition should be given to You alone, God. Surely, it makes me cringe each time I go someplace and see a statue erected for somebody. I have even stepped foot into churches, like the Catholic church, and have seen statues of different saints and Mary, which is idolatry in the finest. And what really is unnerving is that there is an altar set apart for Mary in these same churches. So, Lord, I ask this with all the sincerity of my heart. How come they say that they are the one true church when they continue to bring forth idolatry in each of their churches and cathedrals? They have a lot going for them and if they would just remove the idolatry portion of their church, I could see them doing some good for You on earth. I am just afraid that the idols will never be removed. The traditions in their religious culture have made it so that people cannot see the evils therein. Therefore, they continue year after year without thinking anything is wrong. And so we have false teachers leading millions of people astray. Lord, this breaks my heart to see people whom I love fall victim to these lies. But I know that You are so merciful and just. If they would just wake up to their sins and repent, I know that You will forgive them. So fall afresh on them today. Do a work like never before in their lives. I would love to see the church as a whole change its wicked ways, but if that doesn’t happen, I pray that people will come of it. In Your mighty Name, Jesus, I pray this. I love You, God. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will learn to live by faith and not just live for a time in the faith. I am afraid that millions of people are on the path of destruction and will die in their sins, lest they return to You. A person cannot think they are saved if they have lived simply for a time for You and are now living a wayward lifestyle that goes against Your will. A person who has drifted away needs to return to You, lest they be found unworthy when they die. Surely, The Bible is clear on this topic of enduing in the faith and refutes the false teaching of “Once Saved Always Saved”. Therefore, I am praying for every person who has currently departed from the faith or has decided to willfully sin against You and still go to church. Wake these people up to Your laws and counsel for their lives. Help them understand the consequences when they break Your commands, by continuing in their sins and never fully surrender to You. And even if people have once given their lives to You and have since left You, these people who are far from You will perish. So may they finally realize the deception’s they are under. Even the lies of the devil, which they have trusted in for some time. I do not wish to know of any more people being led astray unknowingly, and therefore, being cast into the lake of fire come judgment day. There will be regrets and gnashing of teeth. But this does not have to happen. People can return to You and then endure in the faith. I believe in You, Lord. You are my God and I will follow You. I give You praise, this day and forever. I love You. Amen.
Our Father, who are art in heaven, I come before You now in worship and praise. You are my God and I worship You now and forever. Thank You for sending Jesus to this earth, that our sins may be forgiven because of the cross. He is my Lord and my Savior and I am forever indebted for His sacrifice for mankind. Through Him, have I drank from the living waters, that I might be saved. What a Savior and friend. I give You praise for sending also the Holy Spirit to be our guide. It is through Him that certain instructions are given from You first, and then to Your beloved Son, and then to the Holy Spirit, and then to us. I am able to receive the wisdom that is given through from on high. Yes, God, I come to You in Spirit and truth, that I might learn from my God in heaven and not from people on earth who can deceive me. Help me to continue to learn and grow in the faith. As I come before You in prayer, teach me things that will help me and guide me throughout this life. As I read the Bible, open my eyes to things that I have seen before. Help me to know what Your words in scripture truly mean, that I might better teach others Your truths also. It would never be my desire to lead people astray unknowingly, but to always be in Your perfect will. Through doing so, I can be led from temptation, which only You can stop the fiery darts coming my way. Yes, God, I believe In You. Lead me from temptation and help me safely come to You, being found worthy in judgment. I love You, Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will not only continue to lead me in my devotional and evangelism ministries but also others in the faith. So many people are still going strong, but others are falling by the wayside. Even do I see churches close down because of the pandemic, which is very sad to see. Not only has this caused them to suffer financially, but many of their members have forgotten You altogether. Surely, the times we are living in right now are very difficult for many people at large. Fear is in the air right now and many people are very discouraged, which I pray that they will soon find peace. Yes, God, bring upon every person who is suffering right now Your spiritual food from above. Give them manna, which is Your body that came down from the heavens. And give unto them your cup, which is Your blood that was shed for mankind. Bring the light from the heavens back into their bodies. What people are missing is the nourishment from You, God. Too many other things have taken over their lives, that what You have once given them has long been since forgotten about. So help people understand what they are missing out on. And for all the new believers, help them to stay encouraged by going out in the harvest, as You have called them too. You know the spiritual gifts we are each called to and I pray that these young Christians and even older ones, will discover their own giftings. The harvest is ripe for the harvest, but I pray that more people will come forth and become Your workers. I love You, Jesus. You are my God and I worship You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that we, as believers, will continue to call upon Your Name daily in all our confessions. Surely, Your arms are wide open to receive us as sinners. And it doesn’t have to be difficult for people, for when our heart becomes Yours, You are able to transform us like never before. Yes, God, when we come unto You fully, there is a transformation that takes place within us. Even to the renewing of both soul and body to walk in Your statutes and to serve You most faithfully in this life. Our desires are changed from doing things for the flesh and onto things that glorify You instead. You are able to rip out of our hearts every wicked and lustful thing, so that we are able to say and act much differently. Even false beliefs are removed, and true teachings that come from the Bible and heaven above is revealed to us. And what I love, God, is that forgiveness and mercy does come. It is for me and everyone else who sins but comes to You in their confessions. You have changed my life and I know that Your love is for me now. I am not an outcast but am fearfully and wonderfully made from my Father above. You loved me first and now I am here to love You back with all my heart and soul. Lord, lead me from every temptation. Forgive me of all my sins and don’t allow me to revert back to how things once were in the past. Your love is what motivates me to live this life with honor and respect. Use me for Your kingdom. Allow the Holy Spirit to move in my life. I love You, Lord. I give You praise and honor, this day and forever. Amen.
Oh Lord, raise up prayer warriors unto Yourself. People who have the heart to do more than think upon other’s needs, but people who will diligently pray for them and help them also. Many times we just need is a miracle and I know that the more people that join in and pray, doors will be opened in a big way. Yes, God, I trust that things will become like the early church. Where You will also send in our day angels from heaven to help people who are in a bind and need a way out. People who are sick and don’t have much time left to live. People who have undergone very hard circumstances and just need hope restored and a new outlook in life. All this can be done when You step in, oh Lord. I know for a surety that the heavens are not closed up for miracles to happen in our day. I also know that angels are already ministering on earth and more of them would even show themselves to us if our faith was there. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me and pointing me on Your righteous and holy path. It is my prayer that others will also come to know You as I have and also be saved. Therefore, shine Your light upon me that people will see You in me and want to know why my life is different. And lead me to people who are ready to receive You. Then, can I witness the hope of the gospel with them and lead them to follow You. You are able to do the rest if we just put ourselves out there in faith. Even by praying for one another, just as we need Your assistance in prayer. I believe in You, Jesus. I love You, Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, why is it that the church I know today is so different now? How most people who attend church only live for You while in those walls, but outside of them they are totally different people. This makes no sense and does not resemble the church I see while reading the books of the New Testament. Surely, the New Testament church people earnestly loved You and followed You also. It showed how they lived their lives and sought You often in prayer, fellowship, reading Your Words, and doing as You says. After giving my life to You over six years ago now, my life has not been the same, I also desire to live like the early disciples, but it is hard to find others in the faith who have the same heart like mine. So many people called me a Jesus freak, which is very sad to see. All I wish to do is shine the light that You have given me, and instead, these people don’t see any good but mock me instead. Wow! This generation has become so closed-minded to even speak of their faith in You to others. So many people are now saying to leave them alone for their religion to private to them. And others only go to church on the weekends but have no time for You during the week. Other things in their lives take their precious time away from You, which is so sad. Truly, my heart is burning to serve You every minute and every hour of each day. It is just hard to find another person in the city limits who desires to go out with me and witness the truths of the gospel to the lost. So I pray that You will lead me to people who are ready to follow You. I love You, God. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that we will all learn from You, our King. So often do we get our information on what we should eat and do in this life from other people. We let them lead us, instead of allowing You to be our guide. I am not saying that free agency was not given for a reason, but I would rather follow You, God, than to be led astray by a person who is not in line with Your perfect will. Now, when it comes to being a vegetarian, if people want to do this, who am I to judge. I just pray that they do not tell others it is Your will. This surely goes against what You have already said all throughout the New Testament. That what You have cleansed, concerning meat, to not call unclean. And even when the prodigal son returned did the Father they killed the fatted calf and a feast was made. This cannot be more evident that there is nothing wrong with eating meat. Sure, eating too much of it is where problems can arise like high blood pressure and heart attacks. So, Lord, I pray that You will continue to lead me by the hand. Help me to eat the right amounts of food, that I might also keep the weight off. Truly, You desire to keep us well and healthy, but our appetite gets in the way too often than not. So I pray that You will give us a will to escape the temptations to eat more than we should. And to be slow to push any family tradition or belief system upon others, when the Bible says differently. As Christians, we are to lead people to follow what You have said and not our ideas. And I pray that we always remember this. I love You, Jesus. I give You praise and honor, this day and forever. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will not make the same mistakes that happened during the holocaust. It is disheartening to even think of all the Jews who were persecuted because of their faith and later on killed. It takes a very cold-hearted person to want to exterminate a people, just because they don’t agree with their belief system. And what is the saddest is that it was Your people, of whom this happened to. I wish that something could have happened to stop the massacre before it began, but nothing happened until the end, which is very sad. I would like to think that if I had known things were happening to Your believed people, that I would have stepped up and done all I could do to free them. Yes, Jesus, though these people are in heaven now, I wish that their lives were not cut short. And to think of all the babies and little children who lost their lives in the concentration camps also is the most disheartening thing of all. Surely, children are so precious, and to take away their lives before they had any chance at life is the worst thing a person can do in this life. I truly hate the thought of abortion but know that the onslaught that took place during WW2 and the holocaust is as bad. It is my prayer that every one of these Jewish people came to know You, Jesus, as their true Messiah. Surely, Your love did do that for them, that they may be rescued, even if it had to be in death for most of them. Yes, in heaven, will they peacefully rest after all the turmoil they went through. And one day I hope to see them, even with You as my King. I love You, Jesus. Amen.
