“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)
I pray Lord that many more people will have a renewed heart to seek after You. Even if the last time they did so was years ago, when they were a child, may they think back upon this time and re-engage with you again. Truly what people have learned in the past, when it comes to You, is still in their hearts ready to come out again. It is only the bitterness in people that makes them not hear You and reject Your teachings. Even those people like Paul the apostle, me and other evangelists are able to be used for Your kingdom, but the people that listen are always those that are ready and willing to hear. Everyone else is either there to wage more questions than find answers. This is very disturbing and my heart aches when I see people only trying to fight against Your message of hope, when only You are trying to save them from their own destruction. So I pray Lord that people’s eyes will finally be opened and that their hearts will be ready to receive the gospel, starting today. I am a willing servant for You God and wish that many more souls are saved in Your kingdom. I know that I cannot do this on my own and pray that Your Holy Spirit will always be with me. May You take over every word that comes out of my mouth and convict every lost soul of their sins. In this will they desire Your mercy and find forgiveness. I trust in You, Jesus. You are my Savior and my deliverer. All the praise and glory to Your mighty Name. I love You Lord. Amen.
Lord God, I know that You are so good to us, even in the good and bad times. As long as our hearts are willing to seek You, You are there for us in a big way. Only through You, can the hardest of times feel peaceful and at ease. Where there was anxiety and fear, You come in and replace all those thoughts with glad tidings of great joy. We may not see it in the moment but soon we will have much to be grateful. And not only this Lord, You are able to help us stay positive and to uplift others that are down and depressed. With Your presence, we are able to look outside ourselves and see who we can uplift and comfort also. Your thoughts of visiting a person in jail, a person that just lost a loved one, a person that just lost a job, a person that is struggling financially, and others, will come to our minds. These visits are what delivers the peace people need. Thank You for reminding us about others that are also in need. Not only when we love one another are these people uplifted, but our souls are also and our faith is elevated. I know this to be true, since I recently lost a job and with my friends coming over and praying for me, this is what lifted me out of my sorrows. For I know You were there and sent them. Thank You God. Now I am at peace and there is great joy in my heart. I know that my future is bright, because of Your hand in my life. I am so grateful and give You all the praise. I say these things in Your holy Name, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that more people will experience the blessings of living for You and Your kingdom. It is surely a blessing to be a part of Your plan and to be led by You. So often have I fallen because of my own desires to do my own things and this has left me empty and guilty. I am never satisfied when I do things that are only for my own well-being, while other people are left out. This is the kind of life that I do not miss. Not only was I selfish, but family suffered because of my actions. Now that I have given my life to You, Jesus, every person is benefited. It is because Your great love has come into my life, that doors have been opened. Instead of just going out to eat, I now look to make sure that others are not in need. When I am on the road, I make sure that people’s needs are met also, so I stop and care for them when I see any person that needs prayer, hungry or cold. If there is anything that I have that can benefit another, I will surely give it them. And my greatest thing to do is to witness for You, Jesus. To see others be blessed and come unto You, is the greatest gift I could ever receive. I know that the things I mentioned are because of Your presence in my life. If I do anything that seems good, it is because You have done it through me. Because I have sought Your hand, is when I get these good instincts to serve and bless one another. May my life ever be willing to look to You, that people will find comfort and peace through my actions. You are my love and I wish to showcase that same love to all people. I say these things in Your holy Name, Jesus. Amen.
I pray, Lord, that more people will have a heart for evangelism. May every believer desire to be a witness for You, Jesus. Even if there is fear and doubt in these people now, may they be humbled to a point that Your will may overcome any faults of their own. Will you come inside of them and instill boldness and courage, as they look to You in faith? It may seem like a very large task at hand to go into Your harvest. People may think that they will have nothing to say and will back down in fear because of this, but I know that You can take any person and make them great in Your sight. I know this because You have taken a person like me, who has a stuttering problem, and allow me to find words to speak. In my confidence in You, I am able to articulate my words in a way that people can understand. Even the proud are laid low because of the words that flow through my mouth. This I know that I could never do this, unless the Spirit was with me, leading me to know what to say. You are the one, God, that opens every door and leads me to have divine appointments. Each week, it is a new person to search out and draw unto You. This surely is a blessing to be Your messenger. I just pray that more people will join me in the harvest. One thing that saddens me is that less and less people are willing to get out there and proclaim Your great name. Instead, they are busy doing other thing that are not pleasing in Your sight. I’ve even heard people say they get bored sometimes. Well, one thing I know Lord is that being a Christian never brings boredom. I am always busy and it brings me so much happiness. Thank You for leading the way in my life. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will wake up to live for You, starting today. May they truly desire to live a life that is pleasing in Your sight and no longer walk in sin. May You take them by the hands and lead them out of the darkness and into Your light. I know that there are many people on a road to destruction, where in their eyes, they feel like they are saved. I do not wish these people to die this way and to face the truth of their actions come judgement day. Instead, I wish people would start reading the Bible daily and find time to truly give themselves over to You in prayer. Maybe then will they start seeking You more often and desire to have a relationship with You, God. Then, will they be led by the Spirit and enjoy Your blessings from above. I know that our own works can do nothing good for our future, but Your good works, plus our faith, can move mountains. We can do all things with the Spirit of God in our lives. Nothing is impossible with You Jesus giving us direction. I am truly blessed, Lord, just to know Your will, by reading the Bible daily and through prayer. Your words have helped deepen my walk with You and now I can truly do what You have said. My walk is no longer led by my own hand but by Your works in my life. Thank You for taking me away from my hurtful desires. I was on rocky ground until you firmly placed me on Your rock. Now I am safe and am able to endure in this faith till the end. I am grateful for everything You have done for my life and pray that You will continue to lead me in the ways that are right. I trust in You Lord. I love You. Amen.
Lord God, we come before You now, in order to learn and mature in the faith. We know Your words in scripture are true and faithful and that they will lead us in the knowledge and ways that are right. Truly, there will be less confusion when it comes to doctrines and beliefs when Your words are implanted upon our hearts. This is when we are taught and truths are made known to us. We are grateful for the Holy Spirit and for teaching us things that are important to our lives and our pathway to heaven. Truly, after death comes the resurrection and my desire is to come before You, being only a just person that I am through Your blood. That because of what You did for me on the cross, my life has been changed. I could never live out a life of faith and honor on my own, apart from You. It is Your power inside of me that moves me to live differently and do things that are pleasing in Your site. May my life honor You. You have given me strength to overcome the temptations of this world and to follow You above all things. Truly, I live my life to give You praise and to love You and my neighbor as myself. It is a great honor to live this way, for it brings me great job and happiness. I pray for all those that are on a path to destruction and are headed to hell. May they not die in their sins and resurrect this way. Instead, open their eyes to their guilt and their need for a Savior. This I pray that they confess their sins openly to You, Jesus, that they may be forgiven and find mercy. Thank You for Your compassion upon me and for all those that call upon Your Name. I love You Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that we may always make You the king of our lives. And may Your will always come first above all things. This means making time for You in our day, more so than TV and anything else. You deserve our time, for Your building of the kingdom, for our lives are Yours. When I seek You Lord, my thoughts and desires and pure. I am able to think about things that are good and wholesome and I am not led into temptation. Even my desires to serve You is elevated. Truly Your words have made a huge impact in my life and I am so grateful. Your Words are truth and lead me into life. Reading the Bible truly changes me. Thank You Lord. I pray that I may never lose this desire to read and to pray. May the time with You always be more important than anything else in my day. I have wasted too much time watching TV and doing things that will not help me. It has only left my flesh open to temptation and sin. And for this I am sorry. So convict me if I am ever in the wrong, that I may repent and turn from it, right away. Your ways lead to life eternal and I’d rather walk in Your ways instead of my own. No TV show is more important than what You can teach me in Your Word and in prayer. I need You every hour Lord. You are my Savior and my guide. Lead me every day of my life. I trust in You and love You so much Lord. In Your holy Name, Jesus. Amen.
I am sorry Jesus for my sins. You are my Lord and I can see how far I have strayed from You now. My life is a mess without You. I know that hell is my destination if I do not repent and put my trust in You today. Truly, I need You today and forever to help me through life. I know that You are God and mercy and forgiveness is in Your hands. I just ask that have compassion upon me now, for I know that I am guilty for what I have done and am so sorry. I know that I have walked astray and apart from Your love for way to long and wish to truly change things starting today. I wish to get on the right path and no longer walk in darkness. I cannot break free from my addictions on my own and need a Savior. Not just a person that can give me temporary satisfaction but someone that will never leave me nor forsake me. This I know is You, Jesus. For this reason, I come and surrender all my heart, mind and soul to You. May your blood cover me. Cleanse me of all my sins and take every evil thought captive. Help me start a new in Your light. Today I wish that You would accept me into Your presence and never leave my side. I surrender everything to You now. You are my God and I will walk in Your ways. Teach me to love the commandments, that I might better serve you. Breathe upon me the Holy Spirit, that I may live according to Your will. You have my heart, and I will trust in Your guidance. May I never stop reading the Bible and always hold it up as your holy words. I love You Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that Your peace will come over us and bear us up when trials hit our lives. We know that in this life, we will all go through good and bad times. I just pray that in these bad times that You will comfort us and give us the strength to carry on. I no longer wish to go through these difficult times on my own. I know how these hard times have hurt me and made me feel, and I never want to go through that pain again. In trusting in myself there is only pain, remorse, depression and guilt. It is hard to escape these feelings. These types of feelings can really do some damage to my soul and put me in a very dark place in life. However, when I trust in You, God, there is only peace, comfort, strength, love, and so much light. We are led out of these trying times and led on a new path. It is so awesome to transfer my burdens upon Your shoulders. This way I no longer have to bear the difficulties of a job loss, financial issues, or death in the family on my own. It is because You have my hand and are ready to lift me up on Your shoulders that I can carry on. In doing this, You are able to lead me to people in the faith that are able to care for me and help lift my burdens. I know this to be true, for in my recent job loss, You never left my side. In prayer, You led me to friends in the faith that really came through for me. Now I am in a really good place in my life. This is all You had a hand it. Things would be very difficult now if You had not stepped in and helped through it. I love You Lord. I trust in You above all things. Thank You for helping me. Amen.
Lord God, You are the supplier of all things good in this life. Everything I have ever wanted, apart from you, has never lasted. Only Your love is able to sustain me and lift me up during hard times. There is shelter from the storms with You in my life. All my fears are gone and my worries are over. It is because You fill me up with goodness and grace that I am safe. My eyes are opened and I can see the path I should go. The Spirit has led me into things that are pleasing to the soul. My flesh is deceiving and never wants true happiness in my life, only temporary satisfaction that never lasts. This is the type of lifestyle that only brings heartache and regret. All things evil comes into my life when I rely on myself and not in You, God. Things get confusing until I am humble enough to trust in You again and not upon myself and others. In the past, it was tough to look outside myself and other things that seem to help me, but now I know that every time I seek You, all things make sense. I understand where I am at in life, after coming to You in prayer. Now I realize what I truly need and that is Your love in my life. I had been seeking it all my life, but only found dead ends in so many wrong places. This has led me to give my life to You, my one true Savior. Where everyone else has deceived me at different times, You have never let me down. Continually, do you supply the blessings from heaven upon me. Your armor leads me from temptation and into Your glorious light. Thank You for Your protection and for never letting me down. I am forever Yours. I love You Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will empower people’s lives as they give themselves over to You. May every believer truly desire to live a life for You and to serve You in Your kingdom. So many people sit around either doing nothing or are on the move doing their own things, while You are left out. This truly saddens me that there is so much time in a day and people have a hard time fitting in what is most important and that is making time for You, God. Reading the Bible is often forgotten and praying has become a lost art for so many people that say they believe in You. For this reason, Lord, I am praying for a revival in people’s lives. May they return to their one true love, which is You, Jesus. There is nothing greater on earth than to be used by You and I pray that people will come to understand this today. The things of this world do not last and only lead to destruction and I pray that this will sink into every person’s heart. Truly the world is enticing but Your will is greater and its blessing are eternal. We do not have to worry about people deceiving us, for You are always there for us. We do not have to worry about our earthly possessions becoming worthless, for our greatest possessions come from heaven, which do not rust. Truly, to live for You is the greatest blessing of all. Nothing is better than to gain Your spiritual gifts and to be used by You in Your kingdom. I love You Lord. May Your will be done for my life always and forever. In Your holy Name, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that everyone that goes to church will also be respectful of You and also desire to learn and grow in the faith, each time they go. It is sad to see so many people not paying attention and instead looking at their phones and dosing off. And then I ask Lord, why do these people come if they are not interested in the message? This has really bogged my mind and has got me thinking. I know how much Your salvation means to me and therefore, I go to church in order to learn more and more. I want more of you Lord and less of me. So I come with arms wide open to worship You, fellowship with others and to receive the message you have for my life. I know that the Holy Spirit speaks stronger and even more convicting then the preacher. It is when I give myself over to truly listen is when the Spirit speaks to my soul and wisdom is poured out upon me. Thank You Lord. I know that the knowledge that I gain by myself is lacking and these sermons really help my faith. Therefore, I will always make it is a habit to get enough rest for the day ahead of me. I would never want to lose focus on what You can do for and through my life. Your ways are what keep me in line and on Your righteous path. I am grateful for Your guidance and direction. Thank You for leading me away from temptation and doing things that are only distracting to my faith. You truly know better than I do and for that reason, I pay close attention. I love You Lord. I say these things in Your holy Name, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray for every person that is following a false gospel. I know that these people do not know what they are doing is wrong and are severely lost. Therefore, they just need to open their eyes, ears and heart to You and then they will know the truth. May these people decide today to read the Bible daily and make their beliefs based on Your words and not what they learn from others alone. Instead, help these people compare and contrast the teachings in their church with what the Word of God says. This way there will no longer be confusion when it comes to what You say and only clarity. As it stands now, many people cannot agree with doctrines, when talking with other Christians. Therefore, arguments ensue. Now as a result, these people would rather keep their beliefs to themselves, rather than share them with others. This is what saddens me, Lord. Because people aren’t trusting in the Bible, their beliefs seem more correct then what you want to share with them. This truly causes a rift between the messenger and the person that is lost. So I pray that people of all faiths will be open to the truth. Even if it is just one person, that we meet, that opens their hearts fully to God, that would be fantastic. This is the type of person that is easy to approach and share the truths of the gospel with. Because they trust in what You say the most, we can reach them through the Spirit. This I pray Lord, in your Holy Name, Jesus. Amen.
Lord God Almighty, we lift you up and praise Your holy Name. You are worthy. Thank You God for showing us the way and leading us away from darkness and into Your light. Your words have become a lamp unto our feet and we are so blessed. Truly there is salvation in Your name and we are grateful to serve You and to testify the truths of Your words to everyone that will listen. Nothing has impacted us in a bigger way than the teachings of Your holy scriptures and we want everyone to know the truth. But in all things, please refine us each and every day that we read Your words and pray. In all humility, we come before you to learn more and more each day. We do this in order to always be in line with Your teachings and never fall out of line by our own thoughts and desires. And if needed Lord, please send others in the faith to help refine our own thinking and what we know now as truth. I know that when I rely on myself for knowledge and truth is when I get into trouble, but when You are in my life, all things make sense. I am also blessed when You come in the form of another person, as a messenger, that my beliefs may be strengthened. I know that Your ways are good and am grateful for the ways that You declare such truths to my life. My eyes and ears are open. Be ever near me, that I may grow in the faith and be more mature in my teachings, when it comes to You. I love You Lord. You are my great God and I am grateful to serve You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that the hearts of all believers will be awakened to You, this day. May their hearts be changed and transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. I pray that their desires for Your kingdom may be elevated. May they understand the need to serve You and to seek out the lost, as we are each called to do. Surely, there are many people that You have prepared, but only few messengers in Your harvest to reach them. Each weekend, that I go out on the streets, I am often either alone or with one or two other people. However, there are swarms of people on the streets that we cannot reach because of this. Our intentions are good but there are so few of us to preach the gospel to everyone. This is very sad, and for that reason, I pray that a revival will stir up in every believers heart, starting today. May they be given the courage and the necessary boldness to also be a witness for You, Jesus. And when more people decide to go out and be a witness for You, I pray that it is to seek Your hand and not do their own will. I know that we can only have divine appointments when it is in Your will and not our own. This is when You are with us and the Holy Spirit is able to speak through us. In these moments, I am able to speak the truth of God with conviction. Lord, I pray that others will also have these experiences and not find themselves uncomfortable, because the Spirit is not present. For this reason I pray that people will get right before You. May they repent and allow You to change them from within, that they may be Your vessel. This I pray, in Your holy Name, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that more people will live out their faith and be a witness for You. There are so few people that I meet that have a heart to follow You and to evangelize. I wish I could instill in their hearts a sense of urgency to proclaim Your gospel to the world, but I know that only the Holy Spirit can convict people’s hearts. It really is amazing to read Your Words and see the early disciples truly follow You no matter what the circumstances. They were willing to declare Your great Name, even if it meant persecution and death. It was better for them that people were saved then to die in their sins. This is the desire that I wish more people would have, Lord. It seems that only few people truly want to live a life in Your service. Most people would rather live their own lives then to follow in Your ways and be led by Your hand. This truly worries me Lord. I am afraid that people think that they are saved simply by saying they believe, when truly their heart is not in it. These people, if they were to humbly look at themselves, they would see that You are not the king of their lives. I do not wish these people to die and be confused as to why they are not saved, instead I pray for revival in their hearts. I know one thing Lord and that is, that true faith is to also do Your will. We can’t have one foot in and another foot in the world. May every Christian come to know this. Maybe then will they desire to follow You and do whatever You have for their lives, no matter what. Even if it means being a witness for You in this fallen world. This I pray, in Your holy Name, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, truly Your words speak to us each day that we read and study them in the Bible. Thank You for opening my eyes to Your truths and the principles in the verses of Acts, chapter 12. It has surely been a blessing to read what took place with James and Peter. This has helped me learn more about persecution, prayer and honoring You. I am so glad that these verses have stood out, in order to teach me a lesson in these different areas of our faith. Surely, in my walk with You, there will be persecutions, for I have already felt it in my time evangelizing. There are days that people are interested in the gospel and other days when people are not kind and say and do mean things. This I know will happen, but I trust in You Lord for deliverance. Your presence gives me peace and helps me go forward in spreading Your gospel message. It is prayer that comforts me and gives me encouragement for the task at hand. I trust that You will lead me to the lost and those that are waiting for Your message of hope. Even a person’s sickness or addiction can be healed through prayer. I have seen such miracles take place and I give You all the glory. It was nothing I could do on my own or the person that was with me, but Your hand in the person’s life that was healed. If anyone is changed from the inside or out, it is because the Spirit of God has moved inside of them. You are our God and we give You all the praise and glory. I love You Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that many people will read and hear the conversion story of Saul, who later became Paul, and be uplifted by his story. What took place in his life was truly remarkable indeed, for he was as wicked as you could get and You still had compassion on him. You took a person like him, who persecuted the church, and used him for Your kingdom. This truly gives us all hope. It not only shows Your amazing grace and how forgiving You are, but that any one of us can come unto You for forgiveness also. We may have anger and rage in our hearts but through Your peace, we are healed. We may be addicted to porn, drugs, or alcohol but through Your power, we are able to escape the bonds of sin. Even temptation will not easily cause us to fall, for Your armor is able to build us up. As with the story of Saul, You did not cause Your wrath to be upon him, but instead caused Your mercy to fall upon him, even in the place he was at. You are a just God who does punish the wicked but also gives the wicked a chance for a new life, if they come unto You. Surely, You are a gracious God, full of mercy and goodness. This I know, for You have shown it to me, through Your presence. I know that I should have also died, while I was in my sins and be sent to hell, but instead You came unto me. In this, I listened to Your call. On my knees I fell and called upon You, Jesus. I was done with a life of sin and shame and was ready to follow You. What a wonderful day that was Lord. It was the beginning of this new life that You’ve given me. I am safe, because I am Your arms forever. I love You Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray for every person in the faith. May their faith sustain them when trials and even persecutions come their way. I know that times can be hard and so many people have already given up hope in You and their faith because of it. Because of this, I hope and pray that there will be those that have the heart to endure this, even when persecution comes their way. I know that some people have to endure more trials than others. The same can be said for those that have to endure more persecutions than most. In these times, it is surely a blessing to hear that people that have not left their one true love, which is You, Jesus. That they were willing to go all the way and do whatever was possible, even unto death for Your cause. What a blessing to hear people growing as a community of believers even when great sorrow has hit their lands and the people they love. This truly demonstrates their great love for You and what they are willing to do for Your sake. I know Lord that witnessing Your truths comes as a cost. Not everyone has been willing to listen and many have ridiculed me. In all this, Your faith has never failed me. Through these experiences, my faith has grown even stronger. My love for You and other people is elevated. Even my passion and boldness is greater than ever. And in these difficult moments, everything makes sense when You are with me. I know that all these things are for my growth and learning in the faith. For this reason, I am privileged to be Your witness at any cost to myself. I will go and find the lost sheep, no matter if my life is at stake. It is all for You Jesus. I love you more than this life. In Your holy Name, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, I am so grateful to know You and to be a part of Your church. As Your disciple, You have called me to be an evangelist and I am honored to serve You. To go out in Your harvest and bring lost souls into Your kingdom is the greatest thing I could ever do. What a blessed calling this is for my life. Thank You for also helping me understand Your Words in the Bible, that I might properly write messages on them and teach others. This gift can only be from You and for this, I give You all the glory. Thank You for using me for Your greater good. I was so lost before I found You and these gifts have given meaning and strength to my life. Every time I am able to pray over somebody, it lifts up spirits. When other people’s walk with You is elevated, my faith is increased as well. Declaring You as my witness of salvation brings me so much joy and I can’t help but tell everyone about Your great love. Surely, Your calling for my life has changed everything about me and those people I affect. And one thing I know for sure is that everyone has a different calling from You. All they have to do is seek You, and their gifts will also be made known to them. I pray that everyone that says that they are a Christian or believe in You, will desire to obtain these spiritual gifts and be used for Your greater good. Then, will many more lost souls be saved. This I pray, in Your holy name, Jesus, Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will learn from the story of Ananias And Sapphira, in Acts, chapter 5, and not be found in a lie like they were and died for it. I know that You are the same God that judged these people in their deceits and found them guilty, and will do the same for anyone that wrongs you. For You, Lord, do not tolerate people that only want to go half way for Your kingdom. People that give a portion of what they have for You are not truly in it for Your glory but themselves. These are those that lie and deceive, and unfortunately lead others to do the same. This I what I call, Lord, wolves in sheep’s clothing, for they are not living for your sake at all. Please Lord, help those in the faith remember to give their whole hearts to You, that they may not become people like this as well. To some, It is a big ask for them to live their lives entirely for you, but I know that it is worth it. I’d rather do all I can for Your glory then to be lifted up in my own self. And Lord, those that are striving to live a life for You, help us to not fall victim to sin or lie to one another. I do not wish to die, knowing that I had lied to someone or fallen into sin, without repenting first. So please help me continue to abide in You, that I may not fall. And if I do, pick me back up and point me back in the right direction again. This I will confess my sins, that Your blood may cover me. My wish Lord, is to come home to You with honor. It is Your righteousness that I need in my life. That is what gives me strength. I love You Lord. Amen.
