“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, help us to learn to forgive people at all costs. Tear down every wall that a person may up right now in Your mighty Name, Jesus. Help people understand that Your forgiveness only comes when we also forgive our neighbors. This important teaching is often left out of church sermons, which should never be the case. Not that forgiveness is not important, but that our forgiveness from You is reliant on us forgiving others. I truly wish that pastors and teachers wouldn’t be so timid and just teach this plainly through the Bible. You said this, Jesus, and I believe every word that you say. You are my Lord, my King, and my God. I want more of You in my life than anything else the world can offer me. Take me now and do what You will. This life is a vapor, but surely I am still able to be used for Your kingdom more than ever before. That is all I’ve ever hoped for. You are my rock and my firm foundation. I am made strong through my faith in You, Jesus. Keep me upright and unmovable in the faith. Don’t let unbelievers and false witnesses lead me astray. Your forgiveness means more to me than anything else. And thank You for helping me learn how to forgive my neighbor. I love You, Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, help us learn to forgive. Many things are to hard to get over, especially when someone purposely hurts us, and so we build up walls and hold different grudges. This is very sad, but all so true. I know how easy this can happen with me and people in my family. Although I have forgiven my sister and my other family members for saying I have I have a mental disability, being around them now is still difficult. They say these things because of how bold I am in sharing Your gospel message with people. They see it as pushy and that I must have some sort of mental issue for doing it. If they just knew that I tell people about You because of my great love for You and them. You have raised me up from death to life and I am so grateful. You have blessed my life like no other and placed me in the beloved. I wish that people could see the relationship we have made together. Then, they would want to know more and stop coitizing me for being Your witness on earth. As for my life, I will never stop telling people about You, Jesus, even until my last breath. I love You more than all things. Persecution will come, and in the same way, I will forgive these people for what they are doing. I trust in You, Lord. Amen.
I come to You, Father, in worship and praise. Come and dwell in me as You dwell in the Son. Have Your way in Me, God. Thank for providing a Savior for us through Jesus. He was promissed to come into the world hundreds of years before He was born and so many people died before seeing His day. I am sure that people would have loved to see their Messiah first hand while on earth, as I wish I had the same opportunity. However, the next best thing is to see Jesus after I die and go up into paradise. Where You dwell, Father, is also where Jesus dwells. This is the place I want to be forever. Dwell with me now and have mercy for my soul. Keep me in Your right standing, that I might be known by You. I only desire to build up my treasures in heaven while on earth. Everything else is done for a time, but what I do for You is for all eternity. Have Your way in my life, my wife, and two daughters. As You have saved me through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus, save them in the same way. I have been witnessing to them for many years now and would love to see them commit their lives to You. I love You, Father. You are my King. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will open the eyes of people who are blinded to the truth in Mormonism. Truly, they are very hard to reach with Your gospel truths, and as Christians we need Your help. I truly wish that many of these people would be saved, but this is harder than I ever imagined. I never once thought that they would have such a big wall built up against anything that is not from their church leaders. And to those people who are only distractions, help me to not give them any of my time, but only those who are ready to hear You out. Since leaving Mormonism in 2012, I have been motivated to lead as many people from that false religion to know You personally as their Lord and Savior. How many people have come out of this cult, I will never know, but pray that even one will come to You out of a thousand that do not. This is all I ask for God. Give me words to speak when I do talk to LDS Missionaries and other Mormons through social media and in person. Lead me to the right people to speak to. Give me wisdom in every area of my life and in my times that I am witnessing Your truths to the world. I love You, Lord. There is salvation only through You, Jesus, and not religion. Amen.
Oh Lord, I ask that You help Christians to learn how to forgive one another. Truly, Your light would be shining brightly inside of us if we simply learned how to do this. Every spirit of bitterness and anger would be removed from our lives and those we reach. This is because people would see You, Lord, in us and then glorify our Father in heaven. I love the times I have with my family. They truly are a blessing in my life, and to see that doors have been closed off due to unforgiveness makes me very sad. All I can do is try to reach out to these people with love and pray that one day things will be better between us. This truly is hard to understand. The same people would say that they know that You have forgiven them and they are good to go come death. However, they are missing the most important aspect of forgivenes, which is the dependence of us forgiving, for us to be forgiven by You. Because this is not taught in churches or only taught on once in a great moon, so many people die in there sins thinking that all is right in Your presence. I want to squash that lie from Satan in Your Name, Jesus. Help people learn to forgive, that they may also be forgiven by You also. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will open the eyes of people that say they believe in You. I am speaking of people that want to go to heaven, but don’t realize what needs to take place in their lives first. Even among the Mormon people are those who are ready to receive the true gospel from the Bible, though they are hard to reach. What we need are more workers for Your kingdom, in order to reach the lost, but saying this is easier then seeing it take place. How many true Christians are really willing to get out of their comfort zone, in order to be Your witnesses in Your harvest? I would hope and pray that this would be many people, but unfortunately, I am speaking of only few. Too many of them are so caught up in what is happening in their own lives, that doing work for Your kingdom comes second to none. And still they claim to be for You and are saved. I know that You can see all this happening in the time we are living. The people who want to work for You is harder and harder to find then ever before. As for me, I will do Your will above all else. Help me reach people that are open to hearing Your truths. I will go out in Your harvest and do and say whatever You put in my mouth. I love You, God. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will come into our lives and teach us what it really means to forgive one another. I know how each person desperately desires You to forgive them, but only a few of these same people have forgiven each person in their own lives. There are untold walls still built up and when around these people they often blow up and say and do things they shouldn’t. I know this for a fact, for this was my life for many years. There were so many people that I just would not forgive, and because of this my relationship with You, Lord, was also minimized at best. I tried to pray and get into the Bible when my life was like this, but I could not stay focused. I could tell that I was not for You in my unforgiveness and this got me really thinking. I had to learn to forgive one another or else our relationship would be lost forever. So thank You, Lord, for helping me forgive each person in my life. Thankfully, You did not give up on me in the meantime, and now I have been washed by Your blood also. I love the trade-off when it comes to You forgiving me as I forgive others also. I trust in You, Lord. I love You, God. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that we will remember You all throughout the year. And not just remember You but come to know You personally as our Lord and Savior. Truly, we are able to comprehend Your light the moment we submit our lives to You. I have done this and will never go back to the life I once lived. You mean too much to me now to go back to living a sinful lifestyle. Lord, I can see. You have opened my eyes to Your goodness and light. This same light shines brightly in my soul, of which I desire to also shine forth for all to see. It is my desire to bring more souls unto You, Lord, and by shining forth in Your light, people will see the light and glorify our Father in heaven. My message is not contentious, but a simple message of hope. That through You alone, Jesus, we can be saved. Your love is for everyone in this world and I want to get Your love in more people’s lives and homes before their time is done. What we need is Your light shining in different homes, so that children will be raised up to know You, God, and not go astray. Otherwise, we have people in this future generation living an atheist lifestyle with no hope. Help us, God. I trust in You, Lord. I love You, Jesus. I give You praise and honor. Amen.
Oh Lord, help us to keep our eyes fixed upon You during this Christmas season and every day of the year also. So many people are making money on this holiday through Santa Clause, Elf’s, reindeer, and the North Pole, and it saddens me. Even people who profess to know You tell their kids that Santa is coming and to be good. Not to be good for You, but for a fictional character. This is idolatry and people cannot even see this as a problem. And so we have people bringing their kids to the mall and other places, in order to sit on Santa’s lap. Young kids do this and tell him what they most desire for Christmas and in life. What mockery this is to You and Your throne. Truly, these parents that lead these children to do this don’t know You at all, for if they did, they would stop telling their kids these lies. And instead, they would teach their children to seek You with their whole hearts. Not to a man that is not real, but to You, my Lord. I love You, God, and wish that people throughout the world would also learn to love You. So please come and cast these idols and false gods out from people’s lives. This I pray. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that we will begin to seek You with our whole hearts. There are so many things in the Bible that You wish to show us, but because people find their desires in other things, Your wisdom is kept from their knowledge. These same people have not come to know You yet for salvation, even though most will claim to. It is Your word that is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Because I read the Bible daily, my desire to pray is increased. Because I study out each chapter in the Bible, my desire to follow You is increased. Because I write on the chapters I read, I listen to the still small voice of the Holy Spirit and obey. You are everything to me, God. I want less of me and more of You in my life. Give me more and more wisdom, like You did for Solomon. I don’t need the riches in this world to be happy, but Your redeeming blood. Thank You for coming into this world, Jesus, and saving a wretch like me. I was lost, but then You found me. I love You, God. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will begin to search the scriptures and discover Your truths for themselves. There are hidden gems all throughout the Bible that people are missing out on in their life. We have people so preoccupied with the things of this world that they only pick up and read Your words on occasion. It may have been a lamp unto their feet at one time in their lives, but it has since died out. And now everything is as they want to see it, not the way You wish to help people see. Your truth is now looked down upon, while false teachings of this world are looked up to. I wish this was not the case in supposed Christian homes, but it is. Lord, come now and wake these people up from their slumber. During this Christmas season, my only desire is to lead people into discovering You more and more, especially in remembrance of Your birth. Then, can people begin to look to You in faith during other times of the year also, while also reading the Bible daily. This I pray, in Jesus’s Name. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will remember You during this Christmas season. Right now there are so many ads on TV about Santa Clause, reindeer, the north pole, and movies and music associated with all this. What is very sad is that so-called Christians bring their kids to sit on Santa’s lap, while telling them that Santa is coming for Christmas. This is just hard to believe, God. I wish that I could help every person that says they believe in You, that the only good thing to do on Christmas is to remember Your birth, Jesus. If people could simply learn to do this during this season, then they would learn to appreciate what You have done for them every day of the year. Thankfully, You have come and saved me. All I wish to do now is lead people to You, Jesus. Your Spirit is in me and this desire to serve You comes from Your mighty hand. I love You, Lord. Lead me all my days. I trust in You, God. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, It is so good to come before You this day. I am in awe just to be in Your presence. You have done great things in my life Jesus, and I gave You thanks for everything. I know that long ago, You were born of the virgin Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit. You fulfilled the very prophesy in Isaiah, chapter 7, which said that Immanuel would come into the world through a virgin, which is interpreted, God with us. And although it is recorded in Matthew that You are God with us, people still deny the fact that You are God. It is hard to believe that this can be true for anyone who reads the Holy Bible. Surely, Your words are a lamp unto my feet and I can never read enough of what You can teach me. It has become a daily routine to jump into the next chapter in the Bible and study out every verse thoroughly. Through prayer do I learn through the Holy Spirit. I would never wish to gain man-made beliefs through reading the Bible on my own and then deceive others in the same way. Therefore, I only ask that You teach me. I am open to Your wisdom. To change from wrong beliefs to Yours is all I’ve asked for. Lead me, Lord. I trust in You, God. Thank You for saving me. I love You, Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that we will remember Your birth, not only in this Christmas season but every day of our life. I look to You, Lord, and bless You. Come and be a part of my life and my family forevermore. I want to be with You in heaven, but I know that I still have things to do on this earth. Surely, many people will regret that chance in accepting You as Lord when they die. Although I fall at times because of temptation, I will not dwell in sin, for living for You means more to me than what the lusts of the flesh bring. So open people’s hearts to desire something more in this life. What You offer us is so much better than we can accept through money or other things in this world. I am always left thirsty and hungry without Your constant presence in my life. I love You, Jesus. Because You came into my life I have much to give thanks. Not to men, but to You, my God. I will glorify in no person, but in You, my God. Praise Yahuah, who is the King of kings and Lord of all Lords. People can lift themselves up in their pride, but they will never prevail without You. I trust in You, God, even my high tower and fortress. I give You glory and praise. I love You, Lord. Help me decrease as You increase in my life. Amen.
Oh Lord, it is with praise and honor that I come to you in remembrance of Your birth. Yes, Jesus, throughout the year I look to You in faith, but this time of year is different. I love it when Easter comes around and I can tell people about the cross and resurrection. I don’t celebrate this holiday as the world does, but use it to tell people about what You did for us on the cross. How Your blood covers our sins and makes us clean when we repent. And because You rose from the grave the third day, death was defeated. This means that You will one day raise us up into newness of life in the resurrection of the dead, which will be amazing to be a part of. As for this time of year, all I can think about is Your birth. The world tries to get people to forget about You and to think about Santa instead, but that will never happen in my household. As for me and my family, we only celebrate Christmas in a way that we can remember You and nothing else. It is because You came into this world, that I have forgiveness and mercy. Thank You for saving me and also members of my family. I am so grateful to be a part of Your kingdom. I love You, Lord. Lead me this day and forever. I trust in You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I give You praise and honor. I no longer can keep these praises to myself. All the world must know that You are God and that all other gods are false in Your sight. I surrender to You, God. My heart is for You. I love Your ways. Lead me in the ways of righteousness and holiness. Cast every wicked thing from my life and fill me with Your love. As I walk, guide me in Your bounteous light. Keep my feet on solid ground, that I might not fall. My flesh is weak, but the Holy Spirit in me makes me strong to resist temptation. So please come and lead me from temptation, that I might not quench the Spirit. I have fallen so many times, but because of Your mercy they are in the past. As my sins are now left in the dark, cast them off from me forever. Your Spirit is what I need to declare the good of Your gospel to every person in my city, nation, and all the world. I love You, Jesus. You are my God, and I worship You in this season and forevermore. Amen.
Oh Lord, I come to You in praise and adoration. To remember Your birth when the world is thinking about Santa, reindeer, the north pole, and gifts is the least I can do. Even this day do I bring to You spiritual gifts. I offer You my might, my heart, my mind, and my soul. I worship You, my King. I love You, God, with not only my lips but how I live for You daily. You are the lamp of which I follow. I do not follow men, which could lead me astray, but by Your mighty hand alone. Your mercy endures forever, and I am so grateful that it is for me. I have done such wicked things before coming to know You, and I am so thankful for Your forgiveness in my life. I am in awe at Your patience towards me when I have fallen short and done things I know I shouldn’t have. Still, You come and pick me back up again and place me on Your path that leads to heaven. My flesh is weak, but Your strength continues to lift me up each time I fall. I love You, Lord. It is my prayer that You lead me this hour and forevermore. I am Your child and worship You, my King. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that we will remember You not only in this time during the Christmas season, but every day of our lives. There is only one God who saves and I am so grateful that You have come into my life to save me. Who am I among the billions of people on this earth? Surely, You have called me out from the darkness and into Your light. I love Your ways, God. Your wise counsel breaths new life into my soul. Living for You makes me so happy. There is joy in my life that cannot be explained by mere feelings. You are so good to me, God. I just pray that I may be a light to my family, friends, and co-workers, who are around me most of the time. How can I say I love You and make people believe that I am just like everyone else while with people? I would be such a hypocrite to go out with co-workers to bars after work, when I should be letting them know why getting drunk is wrong. Lord, so often do people fear the worst and open their mouths because of this. They think that if they say something about their beliefs, that they will be looked down upon or even lose their job over time. This is so sad, and I promise to never compromise my beliefs for anything this world offers me. I love You more. Amen.
Oh Lord, I give You praise and glory during this Christmas season and forevermore. I am honored and blessed to have You in my life, Jesus. I can’t even imagine how the three wise men must have felt the moment they saw You in the home of Mary and Joseph. In awe, must have they fell down on their knees for some time in worship to You, my King. Even now does my heart sing out in praise to the Son of God, who is Christ the Lord. I love what You have done for us, Jesus, more than anything else I have ever known in this lifetime. Because You came down to save us from our sins, I have forgiveness and mercy, though I don’t deserve it. Through the cross, my sins are washed clean through Your blood. I am continually left without words because of what You have done. The scriptures are correct in that Your mission was to save Your people from their sins. Thankfully, You have adopted us as Your believers in these latter days. I may not be a Jew, but I worship You all the same. I love You, Jesus. Have Your way in my life. Lead me, Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that we will come in unison this day in singing praise to You. I am in awe just thinking about Your magnificent birth, Jesus. Surely, You came just as scripture states. That You are Emmanuel, which means God with us. Of course, I would have loved to have been around when You were on earth, Jesus, but having Your awesome presence with me now will suffice for now. I just can’t wait till I am able to see You in heaven. On bended knees will I fall down and worship my King. Until then, I wish to proclaim the name of Jesus to every person I know. It is my heart’s desire to help more and more people know about You and Your gospel message of the cross and resurrection. Be with me in these efforts. I cannot go forth and cause anybody to leave behind what is false to come to Your truth without You. I also cannot cause anybody to leave things behind, in order to follow You. My words are meaningless unless You are with me doing the work. Lord, guide me in the ways I should go. Lead me from temptation. I will follow You and not the things of this world. I love You more. In Your Name, I pray, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that each believer in You will at least be given one of the giftings of the Spirit. I know this will mean that their heart is truly for You and not the world. I know many people who are filled with the Holy Spirit and giftings of faith, healing, and tongues are manifested in their lives. This is so awesome to see that a friend in the faith is living their life to serve you. I may have different gifts of the Spirit like faith, healing, and prophecy, but these same gifts are for Your glory also. I simply give You thanks for working in my life and for not withholding the gifts I have now. All I ask, God, is that You use me for Your kingdom. My place in this world is living for You. I want to be used by You and not anything or anybody else. There is structure in my life and my marriage, and the relationship with my wife and kids depends upon this. If I am not seeking You, then there is turmoil, arguments, and fights. But with you in my family’s life, there is peace, joy, and love. Thank You for Lord. All I hope for is that Your Spirit will continue with me and my family. I love You, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will continue to come into my life on a daily basis. I don’t need anything that is of the world to be happy, for You satisfy my soul in every fashion of the word. I would be lost without Your presence in my life. So keep me in Your ways, for I am happier when You are leading me than anything else I could ever do. What I want most is to see my family, friends, coworkers, and anybody else I can reach with Your gospel message. Surely, heaven is where joy, peace, and love never ends, and bringing people there with me is what I so desire. It will bring a smile to so many people’s faces when they finally realize what Your kingdom can do for their lives. I believe in You, God. I love You and praise Your Name. Amen.
Lord, I often wonder many people are actually saved. People predict that it is in the billions of people that are currently in paradise awaiting to go through the gates of heaven. However, my soul fears that far less people are actually saved than predicted. That because of the lusts of the flesh, people live in darkness while calling themselves Christians. This is so true and I have seen this dozens and dozens of times in my life. Lord, I not only see a very dark generation of people that say they believe but live an entirely different life. People who appear very righteous at church, but outside those walls, they are no different than wicked people in the world. Secret sins rule their lives while calling upon Your Name in all their confessions is hard to find. But this does not have to happen in the long run. I believe that You will do a work in many more people’s lives and save the uttermost. Surely, there are millions of people in heaven from over the centuries, but this is because the Holy Spirit has set so many rivals in people’s lives. But where are these revivals today, God? Wake people up from their sleep into knowing You as their Lord and Savior. I believe in You. I trust in You, God. I love You, Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will lead me in everything I do. The enemy is so crafty in his evil temptations, but denying those temptations and living for You is so much more valuable. Each time I say no to the devil, I feel so much better afterward. It is so good to know that You helped me resist the lust and covetousness that was put in my heart. I did not quench the Holy Spirit that is in me. Praise God. As Your people, we are Your light in this darkened world. Although this world is dark, we are capable of lighting it up because You are with us. Thank You, Lord. What I want in my life is more of You and less of me. I thirst for one thing and that is Your wisdom for me. I hunger for one thing and that is what You can do for me. Teach me, God, and show me things that I need to know and do in this life and the next. My treasures are in heaven and not on earth, which only fade away over time. But don’t do a work just in and through me, but in the life of my wife and my two daughters. Give them clean hands and a pure heart as You have done for me. Wash us through Your blood, Jesus. We look to You in faith and pray that You will lead us safely home to heaven as a family one day. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will help me understand the Bible and my dreams better. I am a dreamer and many times I cannot make sense of the things I witnessed while dreaming. The same things happen when I am reading a very difficult verse that could be given over to many different interpretations. I am slow to give my opinion and quick to say things only if You are leading me. I would never wish to lead anyone astray into believing a false doctrine that came forth because of a false interpretation of a chapter and verse in the Bible. I know this happens in many different denominations and cults, but I don’t wish to get myself involved in such things. I believe You left us the gift of the Holy Ghost. Even to those people who are born again through water and the Spirit. I still remember the day that I came out of the waters in baptism, I was filled with the fire of the Holy Spirit. Nothing on earth was going to stop me now from telling everyone I know about You, Jesus. But not just them did I want to tell, but everyone at work, in supermarkets, the streets, and more. I had experienced Your great love and now I wished to tell everyone else about it and that you really do save. I love You, Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, You are worth more than what the flesh desires from this wicked world. I know deep down where my pitfalls are, but with You in my life I am strong to resist temptation. The devil can easily cause me to fall if I am alone because my flesh is weak. But he is no match to Your mighty power in me. I love it when I see the temptation coming and instead I begin to pray and the temptation is over. It feels so good to know that I was able to beat the temptation with You on my side. I can never do this on my own, but because You have an immense power in my life I can do all things. Surely, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. You are the one that has changed me and also given me a new heart and mind. For most of my life, I thought I was going down the right path and that it was for my good, but I was so wrong. I was only going down a dead-end because You were not the head of it. Thankfully, You have come and placed me on a path that leads to heaven. There is holiness, righteousness, purity, modesty, kindness joy, peace, love, and all things good with You in my life. All I want in life now is less of me and more of You. I love You, Lord. You are my God and I worship You this day and forever. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will help me and other Christians stay faithful unto You. I know that I have had my slew of mistakes these many years, for which I have asked You for forgiveness. Thankfully, You are a good God and Your mercy is for those who are really sorry for their sins. One thing I know is that every sin needs to be taken care of quickly and not swept under the rug. I have had things creep up, of which things would have been nothing if I had said something in the past about it. Thankfully, You are so patient and have not given up on me or other people who are convicted of our sins because of our new nature. My flesh is weak, but the Holy Spirit is what makes me a better person. I can walk in Your light because You are leading me and not myself. If I did all the work, then I would do nothing good. Surely, nothing is good on earth unless it is orchestrated by Your hand, God. I wish that people would understand this fact. The world has a way to make things appear to be good superficially, but without, You these things will all vanish away over time. Only Your gifts continue for all time. I trust in You, Jesus. I love You, Lord. Guide me in everything I do. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will help me and other Christians to walk out our faith no matter what happens. The storms will come and cause many people to doubt their faith. However, I pray that this will never happen with me or the members of my family. I am speaking of myself, my wife, and my children. I know that many of my brothers and sisters, parents, and other extended family members have already gone astray, but there is hope for them still. All we need is Your light to shine brightly before us and for our eyes to see it. You are so good to me, God. I don’t deserve all the many blessings that You extend towards me and my family. We have a home to live in, a car to drive, food on the table, and beds to sleep on. You keep us going day to day. Surely, the enemy has been trying to attack me and others I love, especially during the time of COVID. He has won over many and many have died. Even with the vaccine, more people are dying and I pray that You will keep us safe. Temptation is strong, but doing Your will is much better. I will serve You no matter what happens in my life. I love You, Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will continue to be with me and my family all our days. That each one of us will come to know You personally as our Lord and Savior. You are my God, Jesus, and I pray that every person in my immediate and extended family will one day see this. You have already started something amazing with me, my wife, and my two daughters. My youngest loves to pray over the food and my whole family goes to church with me each Sunday. Praise God that You are leading them to want to do these things and not just do Your will because I force them. It would be terrible if my family only did things that You care for because they felt pressured into doing it. But since I cannot read their minds, I pray that my wife and my kids will each be drawn to You in their own way. May the generations that come from my seed be fruitful in not just children and grandchildren, but in their knowledge of You. That is fruitful indeed. You have said that if I train up my children in the way that they should go, they will never depart from it. I need that blessing to come true. I may not be the best husband or father, but I strive daily to teach my family about You, Jesus. I love You, Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, help us all to understand the need to be made clean in Your presence. Truly, nothing unclean can dwell with You, especially the Holy Spirit. So often the Holy Spirit is quenched in people’s lives because they do the things they desire and not the things You wish us to do. And what is sad is that idolatry is still running ramped in our society. Even among so-called Christian churches like Catholicism we see idols built up for Mary and the Saints. People go to these idol-like figures and pray to them as people have done over the centuries to false gods. This is very disturbing and I pray that those who are a part of the Catholic church will wake up to their idolatrous ways. If needs be, cause these idols to crumble and fall in many pieces that they may know that this is a disgrace in Your sight. In the Catholic church, I know that there are many true Christians. People who are devout in their worship towards You. They don’t care for Mary or Saint worship like Christians do. Praise God for them. It is my prayer that people will rise up in the Catholic church and one day remove every idol from the church through an announcement that it is evil. I trust in You. I love You. This I pray, in Your Name, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will give every woman that has been raped peace that is beyond her understanding. Fill her with Your love and help her know that many people around care so deeply for her. At the moment there is much anger inside their hearts. Trust for men is gone out the window. If a pregnancy is involved, abortion is often spoken of. It is my prayer, however, that these women do not make any rash decisions. Help them know how precious all children are, no matter how they come into the world. If a woman is pregnant and cannot fathom keeping that child, then give them over to thoughts of adoption instead. There are many married couples that would love to have children and cannot, or would just love to adopt. Praise God for families like this. These women need Your hand in their lives. Guide and direct them in the ways of righteousness. Help them to also trust men once again, especially their husband. I love You, Lord. I trust in You, God. Amen.
Oh Lord, help us to forgive others as You forgive us. So often we want Your forgiveness but are unable to do the same with others. This is so sad, for so many people are missing out on Your forgiveness in their lives. As You have said, Jesus, we cannot obtain the Father’s forgiveness if we don’t forgive one another. Thank You for this teaching. In our arrogance, we think often think that we can just move on without forgiving people. However, in doing this, we are telling You also to move along and not forgive us. I would not wish this on anyone, especially if they died in their sins. Lord, I do not wish to know of people who were once Christian, but then died without Your forgiveness because of their own unforgiveness in their hearts. This would mean waking up in hell when they die, and I am afraid that many people like this are there now. So all I ask is that people like this will be prompted by the Holy Spirit to forgive any person who has not been forgiven yet. Tear down the walls of bitterness and anger in their hearts. Give them over to peace that comes after forgiving people. There is a huge load that is lifted when this happens. I love You, Lord. You are my God and I will follow You till the end of time. Amen.
