"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 for people who are on earth now and will be when You return Jesus. If people have not repented on that day, then they will get what they rightly deserve. Justice has to be served, for You are our King and Lord of Lords. I worship You, God. It is hard to believe that people will continue to resist You, even until the end of their lives. I often have to wonder why people would choose to live a life without You, God, when they could be saved from the wrath to come. It doesn’t have to be difficult to be saved, but many people make it seem this way. They add extra rules to their religion thinking it will better help them, but in reality, it is only keeping them from doing Your will. Surely, the gospel message is simple, but people like to complicate it. If people could just know the will for themselves, they would stop trying to work their way to heaven but live to do Your will instead. It is sure nice to know that You are speaking to us and also leading us by the hand. I love the feeling of being led by You. Truly, I am not the only one blessed when this happens, but others around me also. One thing You have taught me, God, is that there will be persecution, although we are made strong with You leading us. Things will only get worse as time goes by, but I know that You will one day come for Your church. Then, will we be raptured up to be with You. Not to endure any more lives trials, but be forever blessed. I love You, God. You are my King and I worship You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that the preaching of the cross becomes important to each one of us in the faith. I have talked to way too many people who are put off by the talk of the crucifixion. And it is very sad each time I meet people like this. For I know that that they are perishing and need to understand the importance of the cross in order to be saved. Yes, God, without allowing Your sacrifice on the cross to cover their sins, these same people will continue walking a life that leads to destruction. There are too many people who appear to be righteous, but are really lost and need You more than they will ever know. All I know, God, is that I was lost until I found You. It wasn’t until I realized what You really did for me on the cross, that my life changed forever. I am no longer the same person. Because You died for my sins, that means that Your forgiveness is for me also. Wow! I am so blessed to know You now. Thank You for allowing me to live a little longer, in order to repent and come fully surrendered to You and Your kingdom. I say fully surrendered because that is what it took to finally draw near unto You. Telling people I believed in You was one thing, but that meant nothing until if I humbled myself and submitted my life to You. Now I know what it means to truly be saved and I am happier than ever. Thank You, God, for Your mercy and grace. Because of Your sacrifice on the cross and the resurrection, I have new life. This life I live is for You, Jesus. Do with me what You will. I love You. I praise You. Amen.
Oh Lord, it is truly awesome to be here in Your presence. You are oh so glorious in every sense of the word and to be here with You now is amazing. All the praises and honor to Your holy Name. I worship You, God. Thank You for giving me direction in this life and for leading me away from it evil and to do what is righteous. It is because of the cross that my life is changed. You have saved me through Your blood. What a merciful and forgiving God, You are. Thank You for Your love and compassion. You have breathed upon me the Spirit, and it has taught me what is right and what is wrong in Your sight. So I give You thanks. Thank You for teaching me Your laws, that they may be upon my heart continually. Without Your wisdom and knowledge, I am left wondering in this world. I have nothing to give me clarity on the situations I am in, without Your presence with me. So I ask that You make Your home in my life. Abide with me Jesus. My whole heart desires to be with You and to no longer be overtaken by temptation. Your ways mean more to me than the temporary satisfaction I get with sin and addictions. I don’t need any more things in my life that leave me feeling guilt and empty. What I want is to be on Your path that leads to heaven. So lead me now, off of the path of destruction and onto Your righteous path, which leads to eternal life. I love You Lord. You are my God, and I will serve You and You alone. All my heart, mind, and strength, I give to building up Your kingdom. May You do many good things through my life. I am Your servant and am ready to do work in Your kingdom. Surely, living for You is the best feeling a person can get. Nothing is greater than to experience Your blessings in my life. Thank You God. I praise You, my King. Amen.
Oh Lord, thank You for speaking through me this day. As I stopped my car I was greeted by my neighbor who was excited to see me. This was after a two-hour drive home and I was tired, but seeing the smile on his face led me to greet him with love and to witness Your truths with him and his friend. Yes, God. It was at that moment that I walked close to where they were sitting and asked them if they were believers in You. My neighbor was excited and said yes, but I knew his friend didn’t feel the same way about You. So I asked him, “why don’t you believe in Jesus?” When he said it was because he was Muslim, I knew that I could only get through to him if you were with me. No matter what I would say, he would reject it unless the Holy Spirit was there doing the speaking. So at that moment, I invoked the Holy Spirit to speak and You did. Wow! Thank You, God. I couldn’t believe all the verses in the Bible that were flooding through my mind as I helped this Muslim man understand that You are God, Jesus. Just as You spoke to John, I also believe that You are Alpha and Omega, the First and The Last, the Beginning and the ending. And as You told the Pharisees, You are the great “I Am”. There is no one like You, God. These references of Yourself were spoken to Moses and Isaiah and other prophets. Thank You for allowing me to get through to this Muslim man with these verses and others. Lord, I pray that he will turn from his sins and come to You, Jesus. There is salvation only through You and not Muhammad. I love You, Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, thank You for saving me and other Christians all throughout the world. Each one of us has done things we wish we haven’t and still You took us in as if nothing had ever happened. The moment You heard our confessions and our desires to no longer sin in the same way, You had compassion upon our souls. Your mercy is for us and I pray that more people will experience it in their lifetime. I am so grateful for Your forgiveness and for removing different sinful urges from the flesh that I once had before submitting my life to You. I may not be perfect in any fashion of the word, but still, I am strengthened daily through Your constant presence in my life. Truly, You are my Father now and I am Your son. It may have been a long road to get here, but it was worth it to be adopted in as Your child. It is my prayer that You will help people know and understand that we are not automatically called Your children, but only those who have true faith in You, Jesus. I say true, for there are many people who say they are saved, but don’t live their lives for You. They said a prayer when they were younger for salvation and are counting on that. Open their eyes, God. Help people to actually live for You if they say they believe in You, also. I love You, Lord. I trust in You, God. Amen.
Oh Lord, I love You. I don’t just say this but mean it God. You are the best part of my life. No person or possession I own takes precedence over my love for You. For how can anything match the joy that You have delivered me. You are my greatest delight and I lift You up in praise. I know that if I have done anything good in this life, that it comes from You. In Your strength, I am able to care for needy and preach the gospel with boldness. Even Your commandments have become honey to my taste. I love to walk in Your ways and do as You say. Speak to me Lord, and I will obey. Whatever You wish to teach me, counsel me in, call me to do, ask me to help, comfort, pray for, love on, or teach, I am ready to answer Your call. Thank You so much for hearing my prayer two weeks ago and for helping this young lady give her life to You in prayer. I am so happy to know that she is reading the Bible daily now and cannot put it down. This is a testament about the Bible and how it is so powerful. Lord, the day that You first spoke to me I was in tears and ready for my next journey in life. I am now thrilled when I now hear Your voice, for You have something great in store for me. You are my God and I worship You. I am Your son and so blessed to be forgiven and have found grace and mercy in Your sight. I love You. Amen.
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, help us to live a life that will take us to heaven. A life that pleases You above all else. Those people who put their trust in the world are those who walk willfully in sin. This is so sad, for the wages of sin is death. How can anybody think they are saved if they love the lusts of the flesh more than You? To think that so many people do this and still think they are saved boggles my mind. Thank You for waking me up to my sins, that I could repent and get right with You before this life is done. My flesh is weak but You make me strong to resist temptation. Lord, I love You more than anything else this world can offer me. It is not worth leaving my first love, which is You, God, for something that will only last for a moment. So Lord, lead me now and the rest of my days. Take my hand, that I might live in Your holiness. I want to go to heaven, God. Take me home to be with You. I am Yours and You are my God. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will no longer harden their hearts against You. So many people in the world we live in are living for the flesh instead of Your will. Sin is abiding in people’s lives instead of people living for Your holiness. Cuss words are often used uncontrollably, while lustful and covetous thoughts are on full display. Instead of cutting off things out of people’s lives like pornography, alcohol, drugs, and bad influences, people are continuing to give in to these things like it doesn’t matter. What does this say? It says that not everyone who calls You Lord is actually a genuine believer. How many real Christians are out there that love Your ways and hate the sinful things of this world? I will never know. All I know, God, is that this number is smaller than I ever thought. I am happy that I cannot see how people are thinking and acting when they are outside the doors of their church building, for I would be very much upset and depressed by what I am seeing. But You, Lord, do this and much more. So many people must be quenching the Spirit and not even realizing it. But God, make a way for many more people to escape the evils of this world, in order to find You and be saved. I love You, God. Amen.
Daily Prayer:Oh Lord, only You can lead me away from the lusts of the flesh. My flesh is weak but I am strong with You. I am not easily tempted for You are there to build me up. My faith is my weapon to fight against sin. Only You could build me up to fight against temptation. A life built around can do great things. I know this to be true. Nobody else could give me the will power to live apart from the world. Your love is stronger and has willed me to change my life. I would be so lost without Your love. You have built me up that I may not stumble. My life of sin is over. YYou have come to rescue me and I am cleansed through Your blood.. Your mercy has set me free. Thank You Lord. Oh how I love Your ways. I love Your commandments. They are a delight to my soul. Teach me of Your ways. Give me guidance that I might continue faithful till the end. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I am so blessed and honored to be delivered from the enemy and to be led by Your hand, while in this life. I am finally safe and can see clearly, because You have set me on the right path that leads to heaven. Thank You for coming into my life and rescuing me from my sins. For so many years I thought that doing things my flesh desired was OK. How wrong was I? I am so sorry God, for walking in wickedness and forgetting You all those many years. I was so lost and didn’t even know it, until it was almost too late. If my heart was not turned to You, then my marriage would have ended and my ties with my children would have been broken. I am so grateful that You convicted me of my evil ways, in that time, and allowed me time to repent and get myself right with You. I did not want to let those I loved down any longer and You responded in a big way. You heard my confessions and not only had mercy upon me, but showed me how to live differently. I was incapable of turning from the darkness I was in, but You gave me a safe way out, and all my relationships were mended because of You great love for me. Thank You Lord. Truly, in Your hands is there salvation. You are my Savior Lord. I was lost and You led me to safety. My life was broken and you took the pieces and made me whole again. It is so amazing just to know that Your blood has covered a sinner like me. How deep is Your love? I am amazed. I love You Lord. You are my God and I put my trust in You above all things. Nothing is better than to know You and to follow in Your footsteps. Amen.
Oh Lord, I am so grateful for the cross. Thank You, Jesus, for paying the penalty I could not pay on my own. God, I have done some really bad things that I regret, but now I know that there is hope because of what You have done for us. I don’t have to wallow in my sinful state, for You have come and rescued me. I was once in darkness, but You have raised me up into newness of life. There is no license to sin anymore, for the Holy Spirit abound in me and wills me to Your will as it is in heaven. My only desire now is to fulfill Your mission through me while I have breath. The message of the cross needs to be made known to every person in this world. I am only one person and I know that You have called millions of others also to be Your witnesses. Wake them up. May each one of them respond to their calling. Lord, lead me from temptation. Help me to walk in Your light and be an example of the faith to my family. I want my wife and my two daughters to also know You, Jesus, and be saved. I long for that to happen. I love You, Lord. Thank You for the cross. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that more people who are part of the LGBTQ community will repent and come to You, Jesus, for salvation. These people come from a culture that is accepting of how they are living. Choosing their own gender and even getting surgery to make this happen is abusing their bodies, which is so wicked and abominable. This makes me sick inside. These people do not love you but love their sin instead. Do they know or care about what was written in Your Word, the Bible? No. God, I am sick and tired of people who call themselves Christians but also support this wicked act of homosexuality. It is appalling how people choose to live in opposition to You, and when asked if they want to go to heaven, they say yes. How is it that people want to escape the torments of hell but also not choose to follow You in this life? God, this world is far worse than Sodom and Gomorrah, and I know that more things need to come to pass before Your return. But Lord, these people do not realize that they will be destroyed on that day by a consuming fire. Therefore, lead as many people out of this sinful lifestyle as you can. Set them free. I love You, Jesus. You are my God and I worship You. Amen.
Oh Lord, help us live for You and not the world. You are our rock and our firm foundation. Only You can keep us from falling into sin. There is so much willful sin practiced in this wicked world and I am afraid that most people are going to hell and not heaven. How is it that people have forgotten You, God, and have gone after other things that will not save them? This life is short and to waste our time watching TV, going to movies, watching sporting events, and playing video games is telling You that You don’t matter. I often wonder where You exist in their lives if anything. Are these people still calling upon Your Name in their confessions and prayers? Are they opening the Bible and reading it daily? Or have these things ceased in their lives? How is it that many people were once excited to live for You and are now excited to live for other things? It is my prayer that people will repent before their time is done. That they will engage with You in their confessions, prayers, and Bible study. Only then can You conform them into Your likeness, as You have done for me and others. As Christians, we are like Christ-like people. We are made differently than the world. You did this, God. Thank You. I love You, Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray for the souls of those lost to sexual sin. I speak to their addiction to pornography and ask that You cast it out in Your holy name, Jesus. What they are looking at is causing evil spirits to take over their body and I pray that You will come unto them, in this very moment of their confessions and set them free. Take every person that is willing to change their lives and make them new again. May they walk in newness of life and no longer seek to do things that will only destroy themselves, both body and soul. I speak to those also that have sex outside of marriage and think that what they are doing is OK. Convict them otherwise Lord. Help them realize that what they are doing should be kept between husband and wife and no one else. Then, will they see that they are doing is wrong and repent. Lord, I speak to every person living in homosexual sin also. It pains me to see how far this world has become in these many years that I’ve been blessed to live on this earth. How twisted has sexuality become and I pray that You will put Your Holy Spirit inside people, like me and other good Christians, who desire to be a light to this lost generation. And when we speak to these people and others that are living for themselves and not for Your will, may You do the talking through us. I wish that everyone could know how sin affects their lives. It surely kills their relationship with You and their salvation, at that. There is only darkness in such whoredoms. How abominable has this world become. Change the atmosphere Lord. May people learn the truth about sexual sin and run from it. You have the power to change lives and I pray that many more people will be saved because of their desire to repent. I love You Lord. You are my greatest joy. Amen.
Oh Lord and my God, hear me now as I call upon Your Name. Your Name is higher than any other Name. You deserve the praise and all the glory and honor. Who am I to give anyone praise but to You and You alone. You are mighty to Save, Jesus, and I am grateful that You have come into my life in order to save a wretch like me. I don’t deserve Your love, but You show it just the same. In my tears do You come and wipe them all away. You are the bearer of joy and continue to remove all the sadness from my heart. I have been down and depressed at times in my life and You always came through, while bringing me peace and comfort that I surely needed to go on in life. My life may not be perfect, but with Your presence with me, I am much better off in this darkened world. I still have some pretty rough days, but You continue to swoop in and carry me when I am unable to walk on my own. Lord, because I have breath, You have caused it to be so. I am alive now because You have more work for me to do in Your Kingdom. Thank You for trusting in me as Your servant and witness on earth. Help me to achieve the things that You desire for my life. I love You, Lord. You are my God and my King. I worship You. Amen.
Daily Prayer:Oh Lord, I pray that people no longer come to You as a crutch. May people have a desire now to pray and worship You. Help them realize that there is no salvation when You are not a part of their lives. You are the only way to heaven and seeking You must be important. I was lost for many years, living my own life, trying my own things and continually falling into the same rut. I could not overcome the temptations of the devil. Sure, I came to You in time of need but it was never enough. I am grateful that my desires and thoughts have changed. When I finally gave my heart to You, there was new life. I had the power to overcome the evil one. My head knowledge was nothing compared to what You had to share with me. I was on the wrong path to destruction but You have placed me on the right path. There is light in my life and it is all because of You. If I am happy and full of joy then You have done it. I owe all to You, Jesus. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will begin to have ears to hear You. And not just that, that their eyes will be open to see You, God. I know that You are looking for individuals who are fully open to know and do Your will. This starts with an open heart to learn. But Lord, I pray that we will not get mixed up in false religions because our heart is too open to things that may not be true. Some things do look really good on paper, but when reading the Bible I can always know if these things are just hearsay or true. Your Words do speak and that is because the Holy Spirit is with us now. You left us the great gift of all and that is the Comforter. Because the Spirit is able to abide in us, we are led into all truth and can understand things from above. This is my desire, Lord, to know of Your will for my life now and in the future. Help me to not fall victim to things I’ve done in the past that were sinful. I know now what it does to a person who continues to do the same sinful things and then justify it later. This might be good for the flesh in the moment but is terrible afterwards. The guilt and shame that comes from willful sin is the worst feeling ever. I know that the enemy doesn’t even want me to keep trying to do better afterward, but I rebuke Satan in the name of Jesus. Yes, God, if I do fall, I will run back into Your arms. Forgive me of all my sins Lord and give me understanding. I love You, God. You are my God and my King, and I worship You. Amen.
Lord God, I am so grateful for Your sacrifice for sins. Surely, it was nothing You were forced to do but willingly suffered, that we might live. You took every scourge and beating for us. You bled and suffered much by the weight of the nails in Your hands and feet, while being raised on the cross. Knowingly, You took every weight of sin and put it upon Your shoulders for us. We did not deserve such love and compassion, but You showed it anyways. It is because You are such a great and merciful God, that You did not want anyone to go to hell but be forgiven and go to heaven when we die. And You made the way for all of this. Where there was darkness, You shined Your light through it and gave us the path to walk. I am so grateful just to know You, Jesus. I am so grateful that You heard my confessions and had mercy for my soul. I know it is all because of the cross that I am forgiven. Thank You for bearing the weight upon Yourself for my sins. Thank You Lord. I am not capable of living a life that is right in Your sight, but through the Holy Spirit, I am more than able. And through the Spirit, I have my guide. You did not leave any of us comfortless, for You are always there for us. Your presence speaks peace to my heart, mind, and soul. You have given me grace. Thank You Jesus. I love You. Amen.
Lord, although this trip went by so fast, it was more fruitful than I could have imagined. Thank You for leading Patrick and I to so many people, in order to witness Your gospel truths. It was a success in every fashion of the word. You led us to Chloe and she ended our last full day of evangelism with even more people to witness to and pray over. I know that You wanted us to get together and for that reason, You put her at the train depot the moment I was preaching. Lord, she, including Adam, and Jonathan, were wonderful additions to this trip. You have made it work on different mission trips with just Patrick and I, but it is much better when we have others with us in our efforts. Lord, be with Patrick as He is now back in Florida. I am also grateful for the people I spoke with over the phone during my trip back to Boise. Speaking on “Sola Scriptura” is something that Mormons always want Christians to explain, so I pray that I explained it in a way that both Gavin and Robert could understand. This phone call was very fruitful and I am grateful for it and the discussion we had on this trip. I love You, Lord. Amen.
Daily Prayer:Oh Lord, help us to not walk in sin but to follow You. Give us the strength to resist temptation and to live inside Your love. We know that we are not able to do Your will without Your hand in our lives. Therefore, we plead for You to send the Holy Spirit to be our guide. Pick us back up when we are down. Lead us back into Your love, when we fall. Break us free from all addiction. Encourage us to read the Bible daily and to pray for answers. I trust in Your Words, for they give me understanding. Help me to always look to You in faith. And as I read the Bible, strengthen my faith more and more, that I may know the truth and become strong to resist every evil situation I am put in. I trust in You for salvation. There is no one else that has the power to save. Therefore, I look to You in faith. Thank You for showing me what is evil and what is good. Now help me to not fall into any of these sins that will keep me out of Your kingdom. I do not wish to have these things in my life. I do not wish to be defiled and become unclean before You. I need Your holiness. I need You every day of my life. I need You Lord. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that more people will be called by You and do Your will also as it is in heaven. Not just to learn at church, but to anxiously look to Your in our everyday lives. Too be steadfast in the faith and unmovable in what You have taught us in the bible, not what we think is true. To many people are unmovable in their own beliefs, which need to be removed in order for the Holy Spirit to lead them. I know that You are the one true God, who wants to lead us by the hand through the Spirit. How we can abound in good works when we live for You, Jesus. This labor is not in vain, for to live for You is where true joy comes from. There are many trials that come our way, especially when we are out in Your harvest. Sure, people may not experience this if they only go to church and keep everything they learn to themselves. This is what I call a person that is not born again, but dead in their faith. You know how dead my faith was for many years of my life. I had a form of godliness in me but denied Your power. Thankfully, I didn’t go too off course for You to save me. Lead me now and forever. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that more people will wake up to their sins before they die. So many people are crying right now in hell. They wish they could have a second chance to be saved, but unfortunately, time has run out on them. So many regrets are now filling their minds as they are suffering in hellfire. May this never be the case for people I care for in this life. I ask this with all sincerity for people that are still living. God, many people in my family do not know You. They are on a path that is suitable to their own belief system, but in doing so, they have separated themselves from the true and living gospel. Lord, I only want the best for people I associate with. They may not like me for how much I speak of You, Jesus, but I love them all the same. How is it that I have gotten a bad rap as the “Jesus freak” in the family? Do they see You in me and try to shame me in the same fashion? I take all this with joy. Thank You, Lord, for manifesting Yourself in my life. I love You, Jesus. I give You praise. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray for every person who currently has a problem with using profanity. I know how wrong this it, for it grieves the Spirit in me when people are using it. If only people could understand the importance of the Holy Spirit, then they would no longer be using evil speaking, but by seeking to say and do as You would have for their lives. There would be a transformation in people’s lives, if they could just allow You to rip from their hearts and minds every form of cussing, talking down to people, crude jokes, and anger problems. These issues are so prevalent today and no longer people can put on a good face at church and do these things, while still believing in You. The Spirit is speaking against such things, and I pray that people will confess their faults one to another, and more importantly, to You in prayer. People need to ask forgiveness for every foul thing that has come from their mouths. For they do not know the number of people that have also been offended by their swearing or cussing. People that love You, like I do, would never want to be a loose canon when it comes to our speech. Instead, we take every thought captive, that You may help us say the right things to people. Lord, it is my desire that people will put off their old man/women for Your cause. Then, can You transform their lives. I know how it felt when I was born again, and I wish that more people would experience this also. So come now into every person’s heart that says they believe in You, but are still living for the flesh. Give them a heart change and point them on Your path of righteousness. Then, will they understand that showing kindness and love towards others is much better than saying profane things. You are my God and I believe in You. Teach me to walk in Your light all my days. I love You more than anything this world can offer me. Amen.
Oh Lord, I love to proclaim the good news of Your gospel on the streets. I love to see people draw near unto You and stray further away from the things of this world. It is amazing to see people want to pray with me for Salvation and desire to be healed. I know it is not me that is leading these people, but You in this prayer of salvation and healing. I have seen many people come to faith, just because I decided to step out of my house and do something great for Your kingdom. Sure, I could have sat idly by and watched some shows on TV or Netflix, but instead, I put those things aside and put You first. Doing this day in and day out has changed my way of life and way of thinking. Now I know that so many things like video games, TV, and phone apps are just time wasters. Surely, this is Satan’s ploy to lure more people away from Your kingdom, and not be for it. This is so sad that people would rather be filled up with the junk of this world, instead of being filled up in Your presence. And how can people go on and say they are Christians if they are not living in Your light? If we were in Your light, then we would be shining forth for all to see. Even our lives would become holy vessels for the building up of Your kingdom. This is where You can take a person like me and rear them up to become Your messenger. Surely, I am not a good speaker. I often stutter and get nervous in big crowds. However, all this changes after I pray and simply step out in faith. All the anxiety is turned into boldness. There is no more fear because Your strength abides in me. My stuttering disappears and I am able to speak with Words from Heaven. You open my mouth and deliver to people glad tidings of great joy. It is life-changing, and we really need more people on the streets with me and others. I see so many people I cannot reach on my own, but they would be reached if people would step out in faith with us. Lord, would You open people’s hearts to become an evangelist? I pray this will happen. In Your mighty Name, I pray this. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, thank You for first blessing me and my family with the things that we need. Because I have been given so much from You, I know it is up to me now to give also. How could I just take what You give and not also want to give back? I would be so selfish to be blessed by You and not be selfless in return. Lord, I know that I have the things I need in this life, in order for my wife and children to have a home, a car, and food on the table. For this reason, I am ready to give back to anybody who is less fortunate than I am. It is the least I can do to pack the trunk of my car with blankets, winter hats, gloves, water, snacks, Bibles, and gospel tracts, in order to bless anybody I see. No matter the money that goes towards all of this, I am ready to give back to people who have found themselves in hard times. And Lord, I know that Your church always has a need for tithes and offerings. For this reason, I will prepare myself, each weekend I go to church, in order to have the funds ready to give. Lord, I do not wish to give grudgingly but to always do this with a willing heart. I can see the great need for what the church I attend is doing in the world, and if my offerings can help out with what they are up to, praise God. It is my prayer that churches will continue to stay open every day of the week because of the generosity of its members. We should never be seeing churches close down because of a lack of funds. Lord, I pray that as I and other people open our bank accounts to the giving of Your house and others, that we will see the fruits from it. That people will be blessed and Your kingdom will go forth and flourish upon the land. I love You, Lord. How can I keep the money for myself and not give an offering back to You? For this reason, do I give. I love You, Lord, and to give brings me great joy. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that the importance of both repentance and baptism will begin to be taught in all churches that say they are for You. For some reason, these two important factors of our faith in You, Jesus, are being left out in many churches today. And I wonder how this is happening, especially if all of the Bible is being taught in churches. The problem is, that not all of Your Word is being taught. Chapter by chapter and word for word is not taught from the pages of the Bible, therefore, many of Your fine-grain details of salvation are left out. Instead, what the elders of their churches are telling pastors to teach, they obey instead. No matter if important concepts like repentance and baptism are not taught. And even some pastors simply don’t teach on it, since they don’t think it is important for salvation. This is very sad since we know that You even taught Your disciples to go out in all the world and preach the gospel, by telling people to believe and be baptized. That people who do this shall be saved. And I believe what You said, Jesus. As for me, I want You to be with me at all times, and if the bible says that I put on Christ in baptism, I will do this. There is a way for You to come into my life and others, and that is why I preach the importance of faith, repentance, and baptism. I want to live for You and not the world or myself. Your will is what matters. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people in all the world will begin to get right with You before it is too late. Every person will either be found guilty or innocent come judgment day. There will either be rewards in heaven or the lake of fire as their outcome. And I wish that more people would be saved before the Great White Throne comes there way. It will be in this place that people will not be able to escape the fear and guilt that is in their hearts. It is a fearful thing to fall into Your mighty hands, oh God. So I pray that people will not die in their sins, but die in their glowing faith in You. A faith that is made alive through the Holy Spirit. Lord, I look to You, for You are the author and finisher of my faith. How can I go a day without seeking You for wisdom, and allow any day to go by without being filled with Your presence? I no longer care for the luxuries of this world, but only the goodness and grace that comes from You, my Father. My delight comes from You and not anything else the world could ever offer me. The day that You opened my eyes to Your truth is when my life began. I gained wisdom from heaven and was set upon a rock. This rock is You, Jesus. There is a firm foundation that set my feet on the straight and narrow path which leads to heaven. What a glorious time this will be to enter paradise after this life is done, but then to also come before You in judgment. I will be ready and willing to run into Your arms, oh Lord. It is my prayer that You will call out, “well done, good and faithful servant”. “My child, come into the rest that was prepared for You since the foundation of the world.” Wow! God, You are so good. I can’t wait to enter Your kingdom and dwell with You and other faithful Christians alike for all eternity. There, we will be blessed for all eternity. I love You, Lord. Thank You for saving a wretch like me. Amen.
Lord, I pray that people will be rescued from their addictions in Your mighty Name, Jesus. It is sad to think that so many people are wasting their time in their day on things that are not helping them spiritually. Truly, TV, videos games, phones, tablets, and computers are only a distraction and leading people to find satisfaction in the world, apart from you. All I can see in this, Lord, is idolatry, which breaks my heart to see people worshipping things that will never satisfy them in the end. And Lord, there is a grave sin in pornography and masturbation that needs to be dealt with in people’s lives, less they die in their sins. This evil comes from these digital devices and it is hard to see people falling for it. Truly, it is my heart’s desire that these things be killed off entirely, but I know that is not possible now. Only can they be done away with in our own lives, with Your help, and then completely when You return and all the wickedness in this world is destroyed. And as much as I wish that day would come sooner than later, I also wish that more souls would be saved from hellfire and damnation, before their life ends. There are too many lost souls out there, and to think that the majority of them are on the broad road to destruction breaks my heart. I wish I could sound a trumpet for all the world to hear, that You, Jesus, can save them from all their sins and addictions. Surely, nobody is destined to go to hell, but can still repent. So cause these people to be guilty, that they will repent and come to You for salvation. I believe in You Lord. You rescued a wretch like me I know that You can save anybody who calls upon Your Name. I love You Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, I love and praise You this day and forever. You are the God of the heavens and I exalt You. You are the rock upon which I stand, and I have nothing to fear because You are with me. Thank You for the opening the heavens at Your resurrection, Jesus. It may have been a need to pray towards Jerusalem for a time because of the house of the Lord, but the veil has been torn since then by Your mighty hand. Access to the holy of holies, or where You dwelled, is for us all now. Thank You, Lord. Thank You for also allowing every believer to be grafted into Your fold. It is a privilege to be adopted in and have You as my Father, God. I don’t have to worry about being alone any longer, for You are always with me. Just as a Father cares for his children on earth, You continually open the heavens and pour out Your blessings upon me. I know that I am not perfect, but strive to dwell in Your holiness. Even if I fall, You are right there to catch me, so that I do not willfully sin. Lord, I pray that more people will come to know You as I have. If people would just understand that You, Jesus, is the son of God, and Lord God of all, then they would be saved. However, the Muslims only believe that You are a prophet, so their faith is lacking. And Lord, the Jews still think the Messiah is coming, which I wish I could declare to them all that You have already come and died for their sins in the flesh. Their king has already reigned upon this earth supreme, of which You are now dwelling on high in the heavens. I know that one day You will return, in order to show Yourself to the children of Israel and to every believer. Even people of every cult and false religion will bow down before You. People will be fearful in that day, but those that are saved will be glad. I am so happy to know You, Lord, and to be walking on the right path which leads to heaven. I love You, God. Amen.
