"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 Your hand of mercy. Your people have sinned greatly in Your sight, but we are sorry. Hear our prayers. Our confessions are sincere, and we know the gravity of our sins. These wicked things have pierced our hearts and now it is hard to carry on because of it. You know exactly who I am talking about. Many people have concealed these evil things up until now, but now we have become burdened because of our past. God, we have confessed our sins one to another and confess our sins to You also. It is understandable that people may not forgive us, but You are different. Jesus, You died for sins, that we might be made clean through Your blood. So clean us from the inside out, even now. Cleanse us of all our iniquities. Give us clean hands and a pure heart. We were not living for You in the past, but we are ready to now. We come in oneness together and say, I give You my life. Come and take me by the hand and lead me to green pastures. I will do as You say. Give me strength, dear Lord. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that many people in every nation will come to know You as their Lord and Savior. Only then can they be saved. This can be true if more people get out of their comfort zones and start to be a witness for You in other countries, their own countries, states, and cities. Our mouths will only stay shut if You are not the one leading us. This is because people have lost the fear of God and have put other things ahead of You. So many people do not realize that they have made certain things in their lives idols, of which turned them to idolatry without knowing. These presumptuous sins are still evil and need to be taken care of in Your sight. I truly feel, God, that what keeps people from doing Your will is sin, including secret faults, and the errors in their own ways. Wake them up to the hell and destruction that is before them. This place is real and I pray that they will take Your hand, that You may lead them out of the fire while. They are worth saving. Lead these lost souls to You in heaven. I love You, Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will see the unborn babies and know that You are the creator. And if You are creating these beautiful babies in the mother’s womb, may every doctor, nurse, and other types of workers in these clinics be convicted of their sins, that they may resign and quit today. That they may repent and find forgiveness for all these atrocious and murderous acts. Please also cause every woman who has allowed their baby/s to be murdered in abortion to repent and get right with today also. And I am not only talking about the woman, but any family member, boyfriend, or husband, who has encouraged them to commit this evil deed. Not one person is innocent here when it comes to abortion, and I pray that people will realize this important fact. Any person who had a part in these murderous affairs, including people who vote pro-abortion, is allowing the most precious and innocent blood from these babies to fall down upon their heads. Oh, how their blood cries out from the grave, and only You, Lord, can wipe away these pure baby’s tears. They longed to be loved by their mother and father on earth, but these plans were stopped before they even saw the light of day. God, these babies just wanted a chance at life, but cruel people took away this chance. What beautiful and amazing things could they have accomplished, if their rights were just given to them. This brings me to tears just thinking about what they could have done, but now it is taken away from them in death. So, God, convict people of their sins, that they may repent. Only You can still forgive them, that they might find mercy by Your hand. We just need more sincere people for this to happen. I trust in You, God. I believe in You. I love You. Amen.
Daily Prayer:Oh Lord, will You come now and open the eyes of the blind. Come into the hearts of everyone that is broken and ready to know the truth. I have planted the seeds of truth and wisdom, and ask that You now do the rest. Send the Holy Spirit and pierce the hearts of everyone that is living a lie. Help them know the false teachings they are under. Expose the wicked men of their church for who they really are. Lead them out of a broken faith that has no foundation. May these people come to the realization that all beliefs and doctrines must also compliment the Bible. I pray that hearts will be opened to read and that Godly knowledge will be gained. Cast aside all manmade teachings and usher in the truths of God. I am grateful to be led out of Mormonism. Thank You for showing me the light and opening my eyes to its deceits. You have set me free Lord God. I am so grateful to be led by You and not man. I love You more. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will get right with You in this life. People must know that there are no second chances after death, and that only a few people go to heaven, not the majority. How there will be many people will say, “Lord, Lord, didn’t I do all these wonderful works in your Name, even casting out demons”, but still, You did not know them. God, this is so true about people in Mormonism. They are raised up believing that only they are saved, while in the afterlife, people must accept their baptism or they cannot go to heaven. And so we see people playing the god card while trying to save people they think You are incapable of. This is such a false teaching and much arrogance is shown. I wonder how these people can go to sleep at night and still think they are right with You. I have tried to warn them but most people will not listen. I believe in You, Jesus. I love You. You can all things. Save the least of them. Amen.
Lord, I pray that I will never stop seeking You. I know that prayer and reading the bible is important, but living out my faith is necessary also. So keep me on the right path which leads to paradise in heaven. I do not wish to be apart from You but to always be with You. May my life be inline with Your standards and not my own. Help me know when I have gone off course, that I may repent and be drawn back to You in faith. It is my delight when I can be renewed in the Holy Spirit and then walk in Your light once again. On the other hand, it is not my desire to just say a prayer and not be meaningful about it. How awful this would be to just say that I checked in with you and that was enough. If I ever do this, Lord, please convict me of my sins, for I know that I have gone astray into a life of sin. Lord, to not want You in my life is evil speaking. So please guard my soul. Take me by the hand all my days and make me clean through Your blood. It is my desire that You will cast out every sin in my life and replace it with Your love. From the east to the west, rip out of my life anything that deifies the temple of the Holy Spirit, which is in me. I offer my life to You as a living sacrifice to serve You all my days. And if I am called Your son, while being adopted into Your kingdom, then I am the most blessed person of all. For there is nothing I’d rather have, then Your assurance of You being my Father, and I being Your son. I love You, Lord. You are my Savior and the rock, upon which I stand. I give You everything that I am. I give You all the praise and honor, this day and forever. Amen.
Oh Lord, even when I am weak, You make me strong. You hear my cries and come to my rescue. I am not left alone in my tears, for You listen to every word I say and give me comfort. As You have said in scripture, You have also made known to me what a Savior is really like. I am not alone, for You are by my side every day of my life. When I wake, You give me new breath to live another day for You. I may be tempted, but You help me overcome them. I am led to safety when the enemy comes my way because You love me. Thank You for knowing what is ailing me at times, and giving me wise counsel, so that I may get through it. People may be hard on me at times, but still You help me know how to handle things in the best way possible. It is true that in Your service not everybody will be for You, but there will be people that only want to tear down Your message of hope. They may even say harsh things to me and others with me while trying to hurt us, but still I know where to go and what to say to them and others, for You are leading me. Even if people appear to be friends, but say things behind my back, I will press forward in faith knowing that they will see who I really am for You as time goes by. I can’t help it if people want to be mean to others, but only pray that they will see their wrongs and repent. So, Lord, I pray for any person that is going through trials and adversity right now in their lives. Bring comfort and peace to their heart and soul. Help them through the difficult times, that they may come out victorious with You at the head. Surely, we are not alone, for You are our God and our great King. I love You, Lord. I praise You and give You great glory. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will wake up every Mormon from their slumber. They are blinded by their false beliefs and are unable to see Your truth because of this. I’ve tried to talk to so many Mormon missionaries over these years and it is their pride that keeps them from coming to the truth. It is so difficult for them to even comprehend that they are believing in a lie. So listening to a Christian is the least they desire. Lord, the only reason why I strive to reach these lost souls is because of the burden You have put in my heart to reach them before it is too late. I do not wish for them to die in their sins because of pride, idolatry, and unbelief. It will be a wake-up call for sure for every Mormon that dies in their sins and then experience hell. For this reason, lead me to people who are willing to be pulled out of the fire. There is a lake of fire that is for the prideful, idolatrous person, and unbelieving. Your Word, God, is fresh on my mind when it comes to these teachings. I trust in what has been written in the Bible. Your words are true and faithful. I love You, God. Thank You for saving a wretch like me. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will begin to look outside themselves and how they can do good towards one another. I know that our love towards You is the first part of our faith and the second being is our love towards our fellow man. If this is not being met, then our relationship with You is more asleep than anything else. So I ask that You spark a need in each of our lives to love one another, as much as we love You. May our desires to worship You and do Your will be noticed in every person that we are around. Help us to never take an opportunity to show kindness for granted and skip out on these moments because of our fears. It is in these times that people need our help, even though it may be hard to see in the beginning. It is Your convictions, my Lord, that has led me to feed the homeless. And because of this, I can no longer pass them by, but stop and care for their needs. As much I want to eat and am hungry, I know that these wonderful people have the same needs that I have. So, in these moments I simply put my trust in You, God, that the money I put forth in these efforts is not mine, but Yours. It is an offering to You, Lord, as my desires are to give You my whole heart, while in this life and the next. Whatever You have for my life, I will do. No matter the circumstances will I help a person in need. Even if it leads me to be in some trouble, I trust that You have the power to get me out of it. If anyone is in harm’s way, I trust that being there for their needs is better than leaving them behind. I love You Lord and to love people around me helps me love You more and more. May this love continue to shine forth in everybody I touch, while in this life. I say these things Lord, in thy holy Name, Jesus. Amen.
Daily Prayer:Oh Lord, You are so good to me. Your love amazes me. Each time I fall, You pick me back up and have mercy for my soul. Only You can be kind. Every time I come to you, I left in ah. You never give up on me but continue to give me strength. Thank You for coming into my life. I was so lost without You. I had nothing to live for. My conscience was heavy, because of all my guilt and shame. It is You that has come and has had mercy upon my soul. Through Your great love, I am forgiven. Because of Your compassion, I am a new person. You have breathed new life into my soul. My eyes are opened and I can see. There is direction in my life, for You are my guide. I am nourished every day in the Word. You speak to my heart and help me know the way. I know that You are there. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people would be willing to put off anything in their lives that is holding them back from You. More specifically, I am speaking of sins, addictions, and unforgiveness. Convict these people of the things that they need to work on, that they may come boldly to the cross and follow You, Jesus. I know from experience, as You know also, that while walking in darkness, I am unable to do as You say. It is always my own desires getting in the way. What I think is right always gets in the way of living the right way that You have prescribed for me. Therefore, I am so grateful that You have rescued me while taking me out of the life of sin I was in. You also heard my cries and had mercy for my soul. Thank You for showing such kindness and love for my life. Though I was not able to forgive and show the same mercy to others as You did for me, I was amazed that You still had compassion for my life. Instead of judging me because of where I was, You saw the potential in my life. I may not have had the capacity to let go of my barriers then, because of fear, but because of Your great love for me, all those walls have been torn down in Your mighty Name, Jesus. Thank You, Lord. There is no more fear, but boldness in my life now for others and Your kingdom. There are no more hard feelings towards anyone that has hurt me but only love for them. I am able to forgive because You forgave me first. What a great God You are. I was lost and You found me. There was not much going for me, but You picked me up and showed me the way. If I am anything and have accomplished things now, it is because You dwell in my life. I owe all to You, Jesus. My life is yours. I am so happy now, and it is because Your love dwells with me. Thank You for filling me up with Your joy. I love You. Amen.
Daily Prayer:Oh Lord, I pray for this country and the people that live here. I also pray for other countries that are governed over by kings, emperors and other rulers. I know that we do not all have proper rule upon our lands and our we need Your help. Please come to these men and women by messengers, church, the Bible, prayer and dreams. I pray that one of these avenues may stir them up to do good for the people that they rule over. May they see the wrongs that have been made with certain laws and may they attempt to undo these wrongs. I pray that they come to understand what is good in Your sight and no longer stand for what is wicked. Even if it takes new leaders to step in and do the right thing, I pray that it happens and that person will put You first in their lives. May every ruler that loves You strive to keep God in the pledge, the dollar bill, and other things. May they stand up to abolish abortion and same sex marriages. I know that all things are possible when high officials come to an understanding of Your laws. Your ways are higher and I pray that these people will choose to do what is right for us all. I trust in You God. I love You. Amen.
Oh lord, I know that judgment may appear to be far off into the future, but in reality, it is at the doors. You will be my judge the moment I take my last breath and I go before Your throne. It is my prayer that You will keep me spotless in Your sight until Your coming or my last breath. Whatever happens first, help me stay vigilant in the faith and not go down any roads that lead to destruction. I know that many people have started off as Christians and then ended up on dark paths that lead to destruction. They had salvation at their fingertips but then lost it in the end. What is sad is that many of them were to doing good in the faith until false witnesses came along their path and snatched them away. These false witnesses may think they are doing Your will, but their false beliefs and the people they have led into their cult will be upon their heads. I rebuke these individuals who have a form of godliness but inside they walk upon the blood You shed for us. If people could just be led by the Holy Spirit they would not only live for You but also be teaching what is true in this darkened world. Lord, help me to be a light to these lost souls and to lead as many people into Your fold as I can. I love You, Jesus. I trust in You. Amen.
Daily Prayer:Oh Lord, thank You for bringing to my attention the lies of Mormonism. I have tested the things that their apostles and prophets have taught and have found them to be a lie. It is only through prayer and reading the Bible, that this conclusion was made. You have opened my eyes and I can finally see how deceived I once was. Now I know that millions of people are being led astray by the Mormon Church. My heart is saddened to see most of my family believing in their lies. Lord, please open their eyes to the truthfulness of the Bible. May they finally decide to try their beliefs with what the Word of God says. May they open their hearts to You. May they follow You above all men. You are the only way to heaven, and I pray that they can also discover You in a new way. You are Lord of all and only through You can we know the truth and be set free. I trust in Your Word. You have lead me away from false teachers and I am grateful. Help others also to know the truth and be no longer led astray by their evil teachings. Thank You for leading me on Your righteous path. I am so grateful to be led from darkness and into Your light. Thank You Lord. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, You are so good to us. Thank You for trusting us with Your kingdom on earth. Although You have not been on earth for the last two thousand years, Your Spirit has been among us. God, our hearts are open to receive You and Your truth, no matter what the consequences may be. If it is a way of life that we need to get rid of for Your sake, we are willing to do it. I am speaking of beliefs that are false and anything that relates to idolatry. Idols only lead us on paths that are dark and destructive. I could see this in my life when I was growing up and I am happy that You rescued me from a cult that gives praise to a man, while also erecting statues in his honor. God, many of these people think that this is harmless, although the Holy Spirit speaks against it. Even now, there are people praying to Mary, angels, saints, Buddha, and other false gods, which is so destructive. Do these people not realize that by doing this, they are opening up their lives to evil spirits? God, break them free. I believe in You, Jesus. I trust in You, God. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that we will all be ready before our death and or Your Second Coming. Each one of us will come before You in judgment, although only a few will be saved. Therefore, I pray that people who are undecided will make a decision to follow You. That they will not procrastinate what they know is right in their hearts. I wish I could get up upon the housetops and preach that You are coming and will be our judge come death. However, I know that this will only incite fear and cause people to think I am crazy. Laughers and scoffers have been around from generation to generation when it comes to Your coming, Lord. Though I believe that You will be here before we know it, many people still think that they can live their own lives and then repent later. Others are even more extreme and will say that when they die, they will just reincarnate or not exist, so they are good to go. If people just knew the outcome of their lives come judgment day. I may have escaped Your wrath by repenting and turning to You in my sins, but others will not be so fortunate. Therefore, I pray that many more souls will be saved before Your great and dreadful day. It will be wonderful to me and other true believers, but absolutely terrible for the wicked. I believe in You, Lord. You are my God and I will follow You. I love You. Amen.
Oh, how glorious, just, and true are You, oh Lord Jesus. I worship You, my King. Nothing can ever take away the joy that You have given me. Your ways are just and true. Everything You do is for our good. You know everything we’d ever need in this life and also supply these needs when we trust in You. Thank You for showing me what I can be, not just the person I want to be. If I continued to trust in my own flesh, then I would be lost and on the verge of destruction. Thank You, Lord, for helping me find the way. You did this by helping me understand how I fall into sin, that I might know what to do the next time I am tempted. Even to remove me from these situations. You have taken away many of my distractions that lead me to sin, and I am so grateful for You changing my mindset. If I am different now, it is because You have done a mighty work in my life that no person could do. It is the least I can do to tell others about You, Lord, in order to be saved also. God, when I go on the streets, use me for Your glory and not my own. I have been very blessed to have the Holy Spirit with me for all these many years. Thank You for trusting in me, though I have failed you so many times. You are so patient with me and such a good good Father. I love You, Lord. I wish I could give You a big hug and let You exactly how I feel for You. I give You praise, honor, and thanksgiving, this day and forever. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will begin to wake up to their sins. I am afraid that too many people who believe they are saved are not. That because they live in a willful sinful state, they have chosen a life without You. If they simply got a slap in the face or water splashed in their faces, maybe they would wake up and say sorry. Yes, God, You deserve to hear our sincere confessions, not a person confessing to their priest in order to just do the same sinful act again. This is meaningless and I cannot believe this blasphemy is still happening today. Where is purity in people’s lives? Are people even desirous to live a life pleasing in Your sight anymore? I know that I am but am also ridiculed as being a Jesus freak because of it. If people just knew what they were saying, then they would also want to be a Jesus freak also. What does this mean, it means that I want to live in Your presence and do Your will above all. The flesh is weak, but it does not have to ruin what I have with You, God. I’ve been addicted to pornography before, but I know how it turned my heart away from You, so it has become wicked in my sight. Along with this sin, the sin of homosexuality is plaguing this world like a sore thumb. What is even more awful is that there are churches that support it. Wow! I still cannot believe churches have stooped so low. Wake them up, oh Lord. I believe in You. I trust in You. I love You. Amen.
Thank You Jesus for coming into this world. Yes, Thank You, God, for coming down, in order to deliver us from sin and death. You have the power to forgive us our sins and I am so grateful that You have done just that for me. Your atonement on the cross was for the sins of this world and I wish that people would understand this fact. That nothing can hold us back from following You now. There is nothing we have done that is too grievous that You cannot forgive. I know this for a fact, for I was a very wretched and sinful man before I found You. I was so caught up in pornography and even adultery while in my early years being married. This addiction and evil lifestyle almost destroyed my life, my marriage, my relationship with my children, and relations with brothers, sisters, and parents. I thought I had the good things in this life, but I was so wrong and foolish. I thought I could get away with having pleasure in the moment and not have to get caught in doing so, but You always knew! It was just a matter of time that You would inform my wife of what I had done. And this fateful day did come. I had nowhere to hide anymore. Everything was now out in the open. I could either confess my sins or try to justify my actions. And thankfully, You gave me over to confess my sins to my wife, my children, and the rest of my family members. Even to You did I cry out for mercy, and thankfully You forgave me. Lord, I would not be where I am today if You had not had compassion upon my lost soul back in that time. Thank You. I love You, Jesus. I give You my life to serve You, my King. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will open many people’s eyes who are blind. It is sad to know that many religions are leading people on the path of destruction. This includes Mormonism, which I was once a part of since my birth. Thankfully, You opened my eyes to the false teachings and abominations in their temples while I still had breath. Truly, I had a choice to not trust in any other church, but the fact of the matter was that church didn’t matter, but You alone, Jesus. All I needed was You, God. You helped me unlearn the lies that I had learned since childhood while attending that cult. It was difficult to break free from all the false teachings, for there were many, but with the help of Christian friends that You put in my life, this happened very quickly. Over time, I did not care anymore about what my family thought of me, for You had me in Your arms, Lord. Thank You for not giving up on me, although I was surely on a path that did not lead to You most of my life. God, I have made some very bad mistakes and sinned greatly in Your sight, and please know that I am so sorry. Forgive me. My life is Yours. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that Mormons will stop closing their hearts to You and Your witnesses that are in all the world. We are only trying to help them know You, but they continue to have closed minds and hearts to what is true. They see us as a threat to what they believe in, and so they prey on the weak instead of hearing out what Christians want to share with them. Even today I was reading a message I wrote about Mormonism, and immediately my family thought I was the worst person to ever walk the earth. God, this is common in this household. I don’t understand why truth hurts so much, but it does. I can still remember when I was stuck in this cult. It offended me also when I heard people speaking against what I believed in. However, now I am glad that there were people so bold as to speak Your truth, no matter if it caused certain individuals to be offended. What I know, Lord, is that it is better to be offended in this life and come to know Your truth, than to be offended in the next and have no chance at being saved. You are God, Jesus, and I am grateful that You saved me. I love You! I give You praise. 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, I pray that people will begin to understand the worth of the Holy Bible in their lives. So many people neglect it and simply open up to read or follow along at church. These same people are missing out on Your guidance and direction. Your light is not among them, for they are now walking in darkness. They have opened the door to sin, and now temptation has power over them. They are not armored through You, Jesus, but have their own flesh to fight the battles. And because our flesh is weak, these people are left in a state of despair, where guilt and shame are pilled up. Many feel like there is nowhere to go for answers in this state of mind. And what has happened is that they have left You, God. They have put aside Your lamp for their lives, which is the Bible. Because they have trampled on it for so long it has become worthless to them. Even is it a burden to open and read when asked about it. Wow! How far the people in this world have fallen. How deep they have allowed sin to take over their lives. I just pray that there will be a fair amount of people that will wake up to their sins before it is too late. I do not wish to know of hell filling up with more people who have lost their faith. But Lord, instill in thousands upon thousands of these types of people a desire to repent. To call upon Your name in all their confessions. Then will they see the need once again to read the Bible daily. And it will become a lamp unto their feet. This I pray, in Your mighty Name, Jesus. Amen.
Daily Prayer:Oh Lord, I pray for a special blessing upon my marriage and upon others that are also in need. We need Your hand in our marriage. Lord, I need Your help, above all things, to resurrect my marriage. May You breathe new life into it. Just as You have resurrected my faith into following You, please help my marriage to do the same. May both our hearts become one, as we love You. May our desires be conformed to Your will. Help us look more so on what our spouse needs over our own. Help us to show love towards one another. Help us grow our friendship and have better communication towards each other. Help us lean on each other’s shoulders, as we lean on Yours. May our actions speak of our love for You. May our words be worthy of Your praise. I trust that You can lead us back into Your love. Help us both to know that we are loved and cherished above all things. This prayer is for my marriage and for everyone that needs Your help in their marriage, as well. As You come to our needs, will You come to their lives as well. Help any of my friends and family with any marriage problems. I know You can do all things. You are my greater healer. I love You. Amen.
Lord God, I pray that as believers, we will never doubt Your will for our lives again. When You bless us with Your spiritual gifts and want to use us for Your kingdom, may we respond in favor and not question You in any way. One thing I know is that my weaknesses will become strengths, if You desire to use me in that fashion. Though I am not the best speaker, when I open my mouth Your words flow deep into the hearts of everyone listening. This did take time for me to realize in the beginning, but now I know that nothing I am unable to do in my own life can stop me from achieving Your calling for my life. If I but continue to believe in You and simply obey You, everything is possible. My slow speech is made perfect, as You lead me and guide me on Your path. The foolish are confounded by Your words that flow through my mouth. Conviction of sins is made evident and sorrow unto repentance is made a reality. For this reason, I give You all the glory and all the praise. I know that my flesh is weak and could never achieve such things on my own. if You are not doing the work, then I can do nothing good. I am glad to be Your vessel in this darken world. Your light needs to shine, in order for the darkness to escape from every souls that is lost. People are seeking to know You, and to be Your messenger is a great blessing, indeed. These people need to be found and be brought into Your kingdom, so thank You for using me to achieve this goal. Please keep leading me and using me, all the days of my life. I love seeing people come to You and be saved and am willing to do whatever You want for me. I know that Your ways are righteous and I can never get enough of Your presence. Seeing people be blessed with Your love brings me so much joy. I love You Lord. You are my God and I trust in You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will not only use me mightily for Your cause but that many other people will also follow suit. To live and die for Your cause is what I am made for. Not to be a coward when I am asked if I am a Christian for the sake of living or dying. You mean the world to me, God. What can I gain in this life, if it isn’t founded on You? Everything I know and love in the flesh will one day wither away. I can’t even count the number of my days, for only You can see when my death will happen. But I know that when that day comes, I will be singing and shouting hosanna to Your great Name, Jesus. Then, will You take me to Your heavenly home above, where there will be no more tears, sorrow, or death. The former things will be no more, and now I will be able to bask in Your glory. For eternity will I praise Your holy Name and continue to do whatever You ask me to do. Lord, take me where I am today and make me even greater for Your kingdom. I want to do greater things than I am doing now, but only You can help me achieve this through the Holy Spirit in me. Therefore, I cast aside all my lustful desires in order to be heavenly-minded. Give me wisdom that surpasses all understating. Much like Solomon became the wisest person in all the world because of You, God, give me this type of wisdom also. Help me to see things exactly how they are now and what they can still become in the future. Do in me a work that has never been seen before. I pray for many more salvations. Help me lead people who are lost to You. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will begin searching the scriptures for themselves. We can learn so much from church and the sermons and teachings therein, but so often things are left out of their teachings. Not everything that is in the Bible chapters and verses are actually taught, and cannot be taught on because of time. Even specific chapters in the Bible are often missed, which is sad but true. However, this does not mean that we as Christians should only be privy to things that are taught in church alone. If we love You, then we would also do our own research and study Your Word. I cannot think of anyone who is true to the faith and is not also reading the Bible often. For if they were, then they would only desire to be led by what is spoken in scripture and in prayer. Our desires would not be our own, but what we can gain from heaven. Lord, I am grateful for people in scripture like Elisha, who really desired to have the Holy Spirit in his life. It is remarkable that before Elijah was taken up into heaven in the chariot of fire, that Elisha desired to have a double portion of the Holy Spirit with Him. Then, he would not only carry on what Elijah left for Him but do so in the service of God and not man. Lord, I read the Bible because Your words are life-changing. How can I read them and still desire to willfully sin? I cannot. They convict me of my wrongs, that I might repent and get back on track with You again. God, I no longer wish to live this life on my own accord. Because I have found You, and it is beautiful in every way, I want more and more of what You can teach me. So I pray for more wisdom and knowledge to be poured out upon me. I love You, Jesus. You are my Lord and my God and I praise You. Amen.
Lord God, I am so grateful to know You and to follow You. Thank You for suffering for my sins on the cross. I can’t even imagine the amount of pain you had to go through for my account alone. Surely You bore by burdens that they may be light in my life. I have forgiveness for my sins because of what You’ve done for me. Where there was only guilt and shame, You have come and replaced those evil feelings with love and mercy. And because of Your resurrection, I have new life. My old life is dead, because You have come and breathed new life into my soul. There is life only found in You, Jesus. Surely, I am so blessed to be led by You, my King. I can’t even imagine my time in this world without You now. I am strengthened by Your presence and have the power to resist temptation, because You are with me. This new life has hope for tomorrow, for You are leading me. Thank You Lord for Your great sacrifice for sins and Your resurrection. This is the reason why I live and have so much joy in my life. My faith is renewed just by knowing what You have done for us. I love You Lord. My hope and trust is in You, God. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that we will all do more than try to get along in a family, but learn to love as You love us. Sure, attempting to get along with our spouse and children is the beginning of a change, but the second and most important thing is to let You direct our paths. We can only do so much before our own plans break down and collapse before us. Therefore, we need You to show us how to love one another. Yes, God, we come to You on bended knees and plead for Your wisdom and understanding. Our own thoughts can only get us so far in life without things going sideways. But with You at the head of our everyday lives, we can do all things. What seemed like a lost cause in a marriage and a broken family can all be made new. Yes, God, I believe that broken relationships can become a thing of the past when Your love sets into our lives and others around us. For we won’t help but shine You light for all to see. How awesome will it become when families experience forgiveness, not only from You, God, but from family members and spouses also. In tears of joy will people learn what it means to accept those who were lost, back into our family midst with open arms. Yes, just as the prodigal son went astray and learned how far gone he was, he still returned and everything he had done was forgiven. This shows great mercy from You, as our Father God and also us, when we forgive people in our family the same way. I believe in You, Lord. Help us to truly learn to love our spouse and our children. That there will be no more bitterness and grief, but only joy, patience, and comfort. There is true harmony in our homes when You are in our midst. I love You. Amen.
Lord, it is a blessing to come unto You and to feel of Your glorious light. I now know how great it is to have Your presence with me, that I might know Your will and do what is right. Because You are with me, I am longer lifted up in my own pride but walk in the things that You lead me in. I know from the past that my pride will only let me down. I could only do things on my own for so long until things crashed down upon me. It was in my unbelief that Your light was fearful. I could not stand it, for it pierced me to the very core. Instead of faith, fear grew until I was overcome by fear. It was in this brokenness that I wished that my sins would be forgiven. So I came unto You for mercy. I knew that I had done some serious crimes in Your sight, including adultery and my pornography addiction, and didn’t think that You could ever forgive me. However, as I called upon Your Name, everything changed. I couldn’t believe it, as my sins, though they were great, were forgiven. Mercy, that I did not think was possible, was given to me freely. In this moment, Your presence came over me and I was consumed with love and joy. Thank You Lord for allowing Your light to shine through me. I am changed because of Your love for me. I no longer fear death and the judgement but look forward to it. Surely, no one is like You, God. You are the God who saves. I love You so much and am so blessed to have You in my life. All praises and glory to Your Name. Amen.
