My Prayer For Direction

I worship You God, and my Lord Jesus Christ! I give You all praise, honor, and thanks because of Your righteousness, and I sing praises to Your Holy name. Thank You for Your grace, mercy and favor upon our lives. We hold firmly to the faith we profess, for the persecution, trials, and tribulations, we must go through are nothing compared to the price You paid for our salvation. Jesus, you love us so much You laid down Your life for us. We're so grateful for Your extreme sacrifice. I have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place wrapped in righteousness, through Your blood Jesus. Our great High Priest over God’s house, I draw near to You with a sincere heart, in full assurance of faith. I hold unswervingly to the hope I profess, for You are faithful lord. Send down Your rain, Your power, Your glory, Your oil, revive us, and give us a passion like never before. Help us to be faithful in all we do as You are faithful.

I cry unto You my Lord and my King, let my prayer be set before You as incense, and my worship as my sacrifice, as I approach Your throne of grace with confidence, to receive mercy, and find grace to help us, in our time of need. I call on You Lord, for You answer me. Give ear to me and hear my prayer. I lay my requests before You and I wait in expectation. I come before You today Christ Jesus, to seek Your forgiveness, Your mercy, Your direction, and Your guidance. Let us not lean on our own understanding, but in all our ways acknowledge You, for You make our paths straight. We trust You Lord with all our hearts. Only You can open our eyes so we can see You clearly, and our ears, so we can hear You clearly. You said whoever listens to Me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm. We have access to You Father through the blood of Your son, Jesus the Christ. Thank You for all Your great and precious promises. Amen

Charles Spurgeon Luke 24:16

‎"But their eyes were holden that they should not know him."
Luke 24:16 The disciples ought to have known Jesus, they had heard his voice so often, and gazed upon that marred face so frequently, that it is wonderful they did not discover hi...m. Yet is it not so with you also? You have not seen Jesus lately. You have been to his table, and you have not met him there. You are in a dark trouble this evening, and though he plainly says, "It is I, be not afraid," yet you cannot discern him. Alas! our eyes are holden. We know his voice; we have looked into his face; we have leaned our head upon his bosom, and yet, though Christ is very near us, we are saying "O that I knew where I might find him!" We should know Jesus, for we have the Scriptures to reflect his image, and yet how possible it is for us to open that precious book and have no glimpse of the Wellbeloved! Dear child of God, are you in that state? Jesus feedeth among the lilies of the word, and you walk among those lilies, and yet you behold him not. He is accustomed to walk through the glades of Scripture, and to commune with his people, as the Father did with Adam in the cool of the day, and yet you are in the garden of Scripture, but cannot see him, though he is always there. And why do we not see him? It must be ascribed in our case, as in the disciples', to unbelief. They evidently did not expect to see Jesus, and therefore they did not know him. To a great extent in spiritual things we get what we expect of the Lord. Faith alone can bring us to see Jesus. Make it your prayer, "Lord, open thou mine eyes, that I may see my Saviour present with me." It is a blessed thing to want to see him; but oh! it is better far to gaze upon him. To those who seek him he is kind; but to those who find him, beyond expression is he dear!

Charles Spurgeon, Our Father which art in heaven

"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, etc."
Matthew 6:9 This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, "Our Father." There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, "I will arise, and go unto my Father." This child-like spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father "in heaven," and ascends to devout adoration, "Hallowed be t...hy name." The child lisping, "Abba, Father," grows into the cherub crying, "Holy, Holy, Holy." There is but a step from rapturous worship to the glowing missionary spirit, which is a sure outgrowth of filial love and reverent adoration--"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Next follows the heartfelt expression of dependence upon God--"Give us this day our daily bread." Being further illuminated by the Spirit, he discovers that he is not only dependent, but sinful, hence he entreats for mercy, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors:" and being pardoned, having the righteousness of Christ imputed, and knowing his acceptance with God, he humbly supplicates for holy perseverance, "Lead us not into temptation." The man who is really forgiven, is anxious not to offend again; the possession of justification leads to an anxious desire for sanctification. "Forgive us our debts," that is justification; "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil," that is sanctification in its negative and positive forms. As the result of all this, there follows a triumphant ascription of praise, "Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever, Amen." We rejoice that our King reigns in providence and shall reign in grace, from the river even to the ends of the earth, and of his dominion there shall be no end. Thus from a sense of adoption, up to fellowship with our reigning Lord, this short model of prayer conducts the soul. Lord, teach us thus to pray.

Every word, thought & movement is designed by God

Father we can do no good until Your Spirit, according to Your sovereign will, begins to move upon lives and hearts. If not for Your grace, not one of us would be saved. There are none who seek You, and really want to be holy, right, and true, except Your Spirit first breathes upon them, and creates the desire in them. Jesus help us remember the tremendous process involved when one calls Your name, asking for salvation. Your birth at Bethlehem; the anguish, darkness, and mystery of the cross; the wonder and miracle of the resurrection; sending forth the amazing Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost; the process behind every call upon Your precious name, You arranged, and are behind it all. Every word, thought & movement is designed by You.

Love Letter to God

My God, You are perfect

You are the omnipotent and omniscient originator

Ruler of the universe and the object of my worship and devotion

Thank You for setting me in a place where I can hear You clearly

Move me out of the way so Jesus may be seen and speak through me

Prepare me, so You may propel me, into my purpose

It’s what I say & the way I say it; - does it love, edify or encourage others

God I set my mind to gain understanding and revelation, and to humble myself before You. Please reveal to me the clear and powerful discernment, comprehension, and empathy of Your ways. Reveal Your manifest Glory that makes You worthy of the homage and adoration of all creation, and Your incomparably great power that is available to me. I desperately need You, and Your power Lord, to remain in the center of Your will and to fulfill Your purpose for me. I have such a burning desire to know You, adore You, and worship You, completely. I desire revelation of all You are so my heart will be so fixed in my confidence in You I never fail to trust You, lean on You, hear You, and complete Your will for my life. I’m totally dependent on You Lord. I am nothing, my thoughts and words are nothing, I have nothing, and I can do nothing, without You. I need You to endure. Remove from me everything that’s not of You.

Thank You God for Your spiritual armor (Ephesians 6:10-18). I will be strong in You Lord and in Your mighty power. I put on the full armor you provided for me so I can take my stand against the devil's schemes. My struggle isn’t against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark evil world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly realms.

I put on Your full armor God, so when the day of evil comes I may be able to stand my ground, and after I’ve done everything, I will stand. I will stand firm with the belt of truth buckled around my waist, the breastplate of righteousness in place, and my feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. I take up the shield of faith, with which I can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. I take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your word. I pray in the Spirit on all occasions, with all kinds of prayers and requests. I will be alert, keep praying for all the saints, and allow only Your Will to be done through me.

The weapons I fight with are not the weapons of the world. I have divine power to demolish every stronghold and every argument that comes against me, my family, all I pray for, and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of You. I take captive every thought, and make it obedient to You Jesus, rebuking all thoughts not of You in Your magnificent name. Lord, rebuke Satan and his servants. I take authority over the enemy’s work and his attempts to attack my heart, my mind, my body, my family, my household, my friends, our ministries, those on my prayer list, my pastors, and my church. Thank You for being my loving shepherd.

I walk in authority. I walk with a divine spirit. I walk in divinity, and I’m covered. Your Spirit Lord works through me because my life is submitted to You. I get still, quiet my soul, rise up in the realm of the Spirit, and You push back the fog of obscurity. Lord bless me with adequate illumination in the darkness, and bring clarity to issues of confusion or indecision. You are powerful and potent and whatever I, or my children, form You will fill. I have the capacity to give all I have, and receive all You have to give. Give me wisdom and strength as I move forward in the assurance that You began a good work in me and will bring it to perfection and completion.

I praise You Jesus, and give glory to You God, for You are my authority. You can not, and will not, ever be shaken. By blessing You God, I'm telling the devil that nothing he tried against me worked. I still have power. I still have authority, and I will love you for eternity. Thank You God that my righteousness gives me authority over the enemy, and NOTHING can take it from me. He may try to pull me down, tell lies about me, mess with my family and friends, my finances, my mind, my health, or my ministry, but my mandate and my authority, will never be taken from me. Testing only strengthens my faith in You Lord. Having done all, I will stand and give You all the praise. I won’t ever believe the lies of the enemy and relinquish my authority. As long as I keep my righteousness, and my authority, I take back everything the enemy has ever stolen from me. Give it back! I stand with all power in my hands through the blood of my King, King Jesus, my blessed redeemer, and I command the enemy and every demon in hell to bow down under my feet. I have authority and power over you. I stand in that authority today and tell you to take your hands off me, my family, those on my prayer list, our homes, our ministries, our businesses, and finances, in the name of Jesus, the Christ.

Jesus You are my Lord and the love of my life. You are everything to me and I bless Your holy name. God I am YOUR beloved child, YOUR Spirit leads me. YOUR power hits me and leads me in what to do to accomplish YOUR Will. I’m not the one doing the work, You’re living vicariously through me, for YOUR glory and YOUR honor. The Holy Spirit teaches me all things, reminds me of Your word, instructs me how be productive and fruitful in every season, and brings forth my heart’s desire; to be a fit vessel to serve You, my God. Thank You God for sending me the extremely anointed teaching and preaching of Bishop T.D. Jakes to further my knowledge of You. God, keep a supernatural hedge of protection around the Bishop, his ministries, and all ministries I pray for. Holy Spirit protect them, lead them, and guide them in all they do. Keep evil far from them, especially Jezebel spirits, as You increase their anointing.

I love You Lord and my God with all my heart, my soul, my mind, and all my strength. I lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone Lord, make me dwell in safety. You keep me in perfect peace because my mind is steadfast, because I trust You. I’m constantly transformed by the renewing of my mind, and perpetually trained to test and approve Your good, pleasing, and perfect will. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock, my Redeemer, consecrate me to do Your will. I love You and I’m absolutely devoted to You. I adore You God with an intensity that’s so hard to put into words, I can’t adequately explain it. I love communicating intimately with You and I pray the bond between us grows ever stronger. I love all the saints. I thank You and praise You Father for responding to, and fulfilling, my prayers. I worship You for who You are and for all You are to me. I repent of my sins and ask Your forgiveness from every sin. Please cleanse my heart and my lips. Thank You God for ordering my steps.

Thank You Holy Spirit for filling me, using me to accomplish God’s will, and flowing through me. Give me an urgency to obey Your leading, petition for my needs, intercede for others, travail in the Spirit, declare Your Word, or do whatever You lead me to do. My God, earnestly I seek Your face. My soul thirsts for You, my body longs for You. I need Your Glory and fresh anointing to overshadow my life. You have filled the void in me. I have a burning desire to know You more, every day, every hour, every minute, every second, I strive to know you better. Help me to live Your word Lord, walk in Your truth, and be absolutely obedient to Your will. I am Your vessel, bought at a price, mold me and make me after Your will. My body is Your temple Holy Spirit. You are within me, and You lead me, bless me, heal and strengthen me.

Lord, I thank You for Your great mercy and Your amazing grace that abounds to me. I thank You that You are ever present with me. You are my Lord, my savior, my redeemer, my rock, my fortress, my righteousness, my sanctification, my peace, my source, my shield, my defense, my great reward, my covering, my banner, my High Priest, my strong tower, my deliverer, my healer, my faithful provider, my very best friend, and most of all, my loving shepherd. Thank You for loving me enough to lay down Your life for me. Thank You for the grace You poured out on me abundantly, giving me strength, considering me faithful, and anointing me for Your service. I also Thank You Lord for keeping me steadfast in Your will, and for ordering every step I take. I give You all the Glory, all the honor, and all the praise, for You alone are worthy!

Lord, thank You for clothing me in Your righteousness. I lay myself on the altar and whatever does not please You Lord, burn it up. Consume my will, my desires, my emotions, my flesh, and EVERYTHING that doesn’t line up with Your Will. Do whatever You desire to do in me, Lord. Do whatever it takes to keep me on Your holy hill. Lord, I surrender myself totally to You, for without You, I can do nothing, and I am nothing. It’s only through Your grace that I may be used, by You, to fulfill Your will. Use me Lord! This is the cry of my heart, my body, and my soul. Search me, O God, and know my heart. Test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness, make straight Your way before me. Teach me Your way and I will walk in Your truth; give me an undivided heart that I may fear Your name.

Thank You for giving me a pure heart and renewing a steadfast spirit within me. I desire to do only Your Will God; Your word is within my heart. Do not withhold Your mercy from me Lord. May Your love and faithfulness always protect me. Thank You for wisdom, vision and insight. You gave me a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. I will revere the gifts You put in me to build up others in a life of faith, so when the time comes for them to benefit the Body, the gift is ready. My prayer for my life is that You would use me mightily for Your Glory, and make Your will perfectly known to me so I will not stray from my everlasting course. Oh how I love You Lord.

Jesus, You defeated Satan, once and for all. You died on the cross, rose from the dead, took the keys to death, hell, and the grave, and made an open show of the devil. I worship and praise You, for You’re worthy of all glory and all honor. I united myself with You and I’m one with You in spirit. Your divine power gives me everything I need for life and Godliness, through my knowledge of You, who called me by Your own glory and goodness. God You make me stand firm in Christ. Your grace is sufficient for me. Your all-surpassing power is made perfect in my weakness. Bless me to be the very best me I can be. Please hide me, and allow others to see Jesus through me.

God talk me through the changes that affect my destiny, or change my life. Lord don’t let me do anything so stupid it aborts my destiny. Don't give me anything I can't handle, that will make me stumble or fall. You know me better than I know myself. If You see me doing something stupid STOP ME. Let me know Your voice so well I know when to just BE QUIET, to be comfortable and content where I am, or when You want to speak through me or use me. Teach me to be always abounding in Your work, steadfast, stable, consistent, and unmovable. Lord, I beseech You, help me to faithfully pray daily, give me patience, train me to be obedient and FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. Talk me through my needless frustrations. Help me praise You through my pain and comfort me, when I’m tired, confused, or weary. Teach me to overcome my emotions and not say things the wrong way, especially to my husband, family, and friends.

I am blessed because I delight in Your word and meditate on it day and night. I am like a tree planted by the rivers of water. I bring forth my fruit in my season; my leaf shall not wither; and whatever I do shall prosper. I am a true worshipper. I worship You Father in love, in spirit, and in truth. Thank You God for loving me and choosing me to do Your will. You said he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him, he that believes in Me, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Thank You for loving me, favoring me, and using me.

Lord, many said You wouldn’t deliver me. But You’re a shield around me, You bestow glory on me, and You lift up my head. To You Lord I cry aloud and You answer me from Your holy hill, for You are my deliverance. You bring me out and show everyone You’re with me, to Your Glory and Honor. You never let me be ashamed. I lie down and sleep in peace; I wake again, because You love me and sustain me.

Thank You God for this indescribable gift! Thank You for this new beginning! Thank You for starting my life over, knowing what I know now. I know because I’m blessed with abundance much is required of me. All my life I've purposed in my heart I would never stop seeking You. You told death it couldn't touch me. You brought me through SO many things, so many times. You’re always there when I call Your name. You know me better than I know myself. My prayer is to know You better every day. You’ll never let me down. I hunger and thirst for righteousness and I am filled. I love and adore You for choosing me. I thank You that I’ve found favor in Your eyes.

Almighty God, keep me in Your pavilion, the place of Your presence. The place of thanksgiving, praise and worship, that stills the enemy and the avenger, and stops the devil. In Your pavilion, under Your covering, in the secret place of Your presence, Your anointing is released upon me. Many may say things against me, or do things to try and harm me, but because I’m surrounded by Your presence, and You love me and favor me, no one can hurt me. In Your presence I’m completely enveloped by Your Spirit. I’m protected, loved, and treasured. I’m fascinated, and totally delighted in You. I thank and praise You Lord for the blessing You are in my life. I lift my hands to You my Lord, my God, and I thank You for the secret place, for Your protection, and for Your love. You’ve prepared great things for me because I love You and seek You with all my heart. Thank You Lord for blessing me with financial abundance to fulfill the vision You put inside me. All-powerful God, spending time in Your presence satisfies the desires of my heart. My life prayer is to be used mightily by You to do Your will.

Worship is my secret place where the anointing is released and the enemy is stopped. I lay down myself on the altar so You can burn up and remove all things not of You, so I may serve You. Please mature me beyond earthly things so when I’m in Your presence I may receive Your direction and guidance for my life, and all those on my prayer list, stand in the gap and travail to obtain the things others need or lack, to hear Your word for them, or to take help from heaven to those in a place remote from Your kingdom. Let me not speak with words of human wisdom, but when I open my mouth give me words to speak that demonstrate the Spirit's power; words by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths, in spiritual words.

I adore You Lord more than mere words can proclaim. I exalt, praise, glorify, and honor You. I extol Your majesty and Your virtue, and I love You with everything I am. I love You with so much intensity it’s overwhelming. Thank You My Lord for loving me. Thank You for providing me financial and spiritual abundance so that in all things, at all times, I have all I need to fulfill Your will, and abound in every good work. Thank You for making me rich in every way so I can be generous on every occasion, and my generosity will result in thanksgiving and glory to You. Jesus, what do You want me to do, to say, or to go? How can I be used to deliver, draw, bless, or heal?

God, I am so grateful that You love and favor me and my family. You’re so awesome God. You know how deeply I love You. There’s no way I can express how much I adore You and all You are to me. I am so very thankful You chose me for Your service, for blessing me and my family, and for answering my prayers. I thank You for Your amazing grace, mercy, favor, blessings and healing in our lives, for our ministries, our homes, furnishings, clothing, finances, and cars. I give You all the praise, glory, and honor for You blessed me with all I need to fulfill the vision You put in me. Thank You for the abundant blessings You bestow upon me, for the pleasure of tithing, special offerings, allowing me to bless my friends, my family, and my church, and always have enough left over to meet my needs, and to bless others as You lead me.

Let Your Will be done in our lives, and our ministries! I’m so grateful You’ve given us the resources to help so many people know You. I praise You God for allowing us to bring hope and salvation to those You have drawn who are lost, have no hope, and can’t find their way. By supplying their basic needs of decent housing, toiletries, clothing, and financial freedom, we can show them all things are possible through faith in You. Thank You for allowing us to bless so many and show them the love they’re looking for to fulfill them, the one who loves them as much as they want to be loved, the only one who has truly unconditional love for them and they can always depend on, is You. There’s no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than You.

Glory to Your name O Lord, my God, my King, You are robed in majesty. You are the greatest gift of all. You have saved me from the fall with Your gifts of love and mercy. Take control, have Your way in me. There's no one like You. I worship You in spirit and in truth. Refresh my soul. Come and breathe into me. I lift up my hands and magnify Your name. I give You all the honor, glory, worship, and praise You deserve.

I want to be in the higher place where You are. That secret place in You, the Holy of Holies. Take me there, past the gates, beyond the courts, above all powers and principalities, so we can commune together. Break me and draw me nearer as I run after You. I'm desperate for Your embrace. I need You to heal me, put the garment of grace on me, keep me safe in Your presence, by Your side. I can't live without You, light of truth, giver of grace, mercy, and peace. I worship You, adore You, and love You with all my mind, my heart, my body, and my soul. You are the blessed trinity. Amen

My Testimony

My life has taken me through hell and floods of water. My third brother was born in September 1946. The doctor told my mother if she had another child she would probably die, so he cut and buried her tubes during the caesarian. Fifteen months later I was born. The doctor told her the tube grew back. All my life I heard my mother say, “If I didn’t have Carol I wouldn’t have the problems…” I grew up knowing I was not wanted, and believing I was the reason my mother was always sick and in the hospital. I was driving to work one day when I was 30, and God told me I was not a mistake, I was a miracle. I had to pull over because the light had become so bright and God’s glory fell on me.

My life has been full of accidents, injuries, and illnesses from the day I was born. My hospital files are enormous. I never fit into my mother’s plans for me, and had it not been for my father… He explained that most folks did not love like us, or have our compassion. I felt people’s pain.

I don’t know when I met Jesus, but as long as I can remember, He has always been there for me through every situation. I was baptized when I was 12. I went through childhood not understanding how people could be so cruel. Like most folks, who are called and love Jesus, I have many, many stories. At one point, in my twenties, I fell on the floor and cried out to God, “If this is all there is, I don’t want it. If only someone, (other than my father), could only love me as much and as hard as I love.

God sent me my husband and I thought here he is, finally! He is much like my father, and could love and hurt me just like my father. My husband started listening to Kenneth Copeland on the radio after we moved to Kansas. I went to California to see my brother and to attend a Kenneth Copeland convention. Kenneth said, “God is looking down on the earth saying, ‘If only I could find someone to love me as much as I love them”. I had the answer and from that very moment, I knew there was more to life than what I had experienced, and sought after Jesus like never before.

I found a church, and after many years of giving my all, the pastor starting doing all the things he vowed never to do and the church, with its six locations, fell hard, and I could no longer be involved.

God gave me a wonderful job at an advertising agency and I fell to pride. On October 31, 1995 while waiting at a light a woman ran into the back of my car, then a man ran into her, and both cars hit me again. I had a mild traumatic brain injury resulting in blurred or double vision, short-term memory loss, floaters in my eyes, extreme sensitivity to sound and light, and excruciating ringing in my ears and headaches. I could not remember from day to day what I heard or saw. It was very hard on my family. God showed me what it was like not to have His hand on me. It was the 16^th of the 18 car accidents in my life.

Long story short, I not only lived in great pain, but had open-heart surgery with 6 bypasses and artery transplant, another accident, lost my mother, almost lost my husband, my daughter in terrible trouble, and I lost my closest brother. We went through eight years of bleak poverty, living in a cave, lost two good incomes and both became disabled, within 6 months, but if not for God…

On my birthday in December of 2005, my eldest daughter sent me an email that said God has confirmed the end of Your sufferings sorrows and pains because HE that sits on the throne has remembered You. He has taken away the hardships and given You JOY. He will never let you down.

In March 2006, God gave me this, I walk in authority; I walk with a divine spirit. I walk in divinity, and I am covered. Your Spirit Lord is going to work through me because I have submitted my life to You. I will be still and quiet my soul, and rise up in the realm of the Spirit, so You will push back the fog of obscurity. I trust You to bring forth light in the darkness and give clarity to the issues that bring confusion and indecision. I ask You to give me wisdom. I will move forward in the assurance that You have begun a good work in me, and will bring it to perfection and completion.

In May 2006, I went to a seminar at a good friend's church and she paid for my registration, featuring Prophetess Norvice Sellers. After speaking for just a few minutes, she said yes to Jesus, stopped speaking, and called me to the front of the church. She told me Jesus knows me, and all the years of trials and tribulations were over. I could go home and write paid in full on all my bills, and the secret fear I had that night would never happen. She was right on all accounts. The next day she called me out again, told me Jesus had more for me that I could not receive the night before, and the spirit fell on me like never before.

I have learned that I was created to worship, praise, give God & Jesus all the glory they deserve, and give all my cares to Jesus. As the word says, everything DOES work out for my good. No matter what the circumstance, Jesus knows how to handle it so much better than all we could ask or think.

Storms of Life

I am sitting here wondering. Storms, storms, and more storms of life. There is not one part of my body that does not ache or hurt. I commiserate with Job. I love God with all I am and all I ever will be, but I ask why is this my lot? Then I remember. I chose it. The prayer of my life has been for God to use me.

When God uses you mightily, you become the devil's worse enemy. I praise and worship in the midst of it all. I will never stop. No matter what. I have a friend who's sister is trying to save children in Ethiopia. I can't imagine the pain she has every day watching all the dying children.

This is the world we live in. It has never really changed, nor will it until Jesus comes. Until then all we can do is enjoy those special moments we get, and wait until He comes to get us, or we go to Him.

My prayer for my life

My God, You are perfect. You are the omnipotent and omniscient originator. Ruler of the universe and the object of my worship and devotion. Thank You for setting me in a place where I can hear You clearly. Move me out of the way so Jesus may be seen and speak through me. Prepare me, so You may propel me, into my purpose

I desperately need You, and Your power Lord, to remain in the center of Your will and to fulfill Your purpose for me. I have such a burning desire to know You, adore You, and worship You, completely. I desire revelation of all You are so my heart will be so fixed in my confidence in You I never fail to trust You, lean on You, hear You, and complete Your will for my life. I’m totally dependent on You Lord. I am nothing, my thoughts and words are nothing, I have nothing, and I can do nothing, without You. I need You to endure. Remove from me everything that’s not of You.

Thank You God for Your spiritual armor (Ephesians 6:10-18). I will be strong in You Lord and in Your mighty power. I put on the full armor you provided for me so I can take my stand against the devil's schemes. My struggle isn’t against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark evil world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly realms.

I put on Your full armor God, so when the day of evil comes I may be able to stand my ground, and after I’ve done everything, I will stand. I will stand firm with the belt of truth buckled around my waist, the breastplate of righteousness in place, and my feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. I take up the shield of faith, with which I can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. I take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your word.

The weapons I fight with are not the weapons of the world. I have divine power to demolish every stronghold and every argument that comes against me, my family, all I pray for, and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of You. I take captive every thought, and make it obedient to You Jesus, rebuking all thoughts not of You in Your magnificent name. Lord, rebuke Satan and his servants. I take authority over the enemy’s work and his attempts to attack my heart, my mind, my body, my family, my household, my friends, our ministries, those on my prayer list, my pastors, and my church. Thank You for being my loving shepherd.

I walk in authority. I walk with a divine spirit. I walk in divinity, and I’m covered. Your Spirit Lord works through me because my life is submitted to You. I get still, quiet my soul, rise up in the realm of the Spirit, and You push back the fog of obscurity. Lord bless me with adequate illumination in the darkness, and bring clarity to issues of confusion or indecision. You are powerful and potent and whatever I, or my children, form You will fill. I have the capacity to give all I have, and receive all You have to give. Give me wisdom and strength as I move forward in the assurance that You began a good work in me and will bring it to perfection and completion.

I praise You Jesus, and give glory to You God, for You are my authority. You can not, and will not, ever be shaken. By blessing You God, I'm telling the devil that nothing he tried against me worked. I still have power. I still have authority, and I will love you for eternity. Thank You God that my righteousness gives me authority over the enemy, and NOTHING can take it from me. He may try to pull me down, tell lies about me, mess with my family and friends, my finances, my mind, my health, or my ministry, but my mandate and my authority, will never be taken from me. Testing only strengthens my faith in You Lord. Having done all, I will stand and give You all the praise. I won’t ever believe the lies of the enemy and relinquish my authority. As long as I keep my righteousness, and my authority, I take back everything the enemy has ever stolen from me. Give it back! I stand with all power in my hands through the blood of my King, King Jesus, my blessed redeemer, and I command the enemy and every demon in hell to bow down under my feet. I have authority and power over you. I stand in that authority today and tell you to take your hands off me, my family, those on my prayer list, our homes, our ministries, our businesses, and finances, in the name of Jesus, the Christ.

Jesus You are my Lord and the love of my life. You are everything to me and I bless Your holy name. God I am YOUR beloved child, YOUR Spirit leads me. YOUR power hits me and leads me in what to do to accomplish YOUR Will. I’m not the one doing the work, You’re living vicariously through me, for YOUR glory and YOUR honor. The Holy Spirit teaches me all things, reminds me of Your word, instructs me how be productive and fruitful in every season, and brings forth my heart’s desire; to be a fit vessel to serve You, my God. Thank You God for sending me the extremely anointed teaching and preaching of Bishop T.D. Jakes to further my knowledge of You. God, keep a supernatural hedge of protection around the Bishop, and all ministries I pray for. Holy Spirit protect them, lead them, and guide them in all they do. Keep evil far from them, especially Jezebel spirits, as You increase their anointing.

I love You Lord and my God with all my heart, my soul, my mind, and all my strength. I lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone Lord, make me dwell in safety. You keep me in perfect peace because my mind is steadfast, because I trust You. I’m constantly transformed by the renewing of my mind, and perpetually trained to test and approve Your good, pleasing, and perfect will. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock, my Redeemer, consecrate me to do Your will. I love You and I’m absolutely devoted to You. I adore You God with an intensity that’s so hard to put into words, I can’t adequately explain it. I love communicating intimately with You and I pray the bond between us grows ever stronger. I love all the saints. I thank You and praise You Father for responding to, and fulfilling, my prayers. I worship You for who You are and for all You are to me. I repent of my sins and ask Your forgiveness from every sin. Please cleanse my heart and my lips. Thank You God for ordering my steps.

Thank You Holy Spirit for filling me, using me to accomplish God’s will, and flowing through me. Give me an urgency to obey Your leading, petition for my needs, intercede for others, travail in the Spirit, declare Your Word, or do whatever You lead me to do. My God, earnestly I seek Your face. My soul thirsts for You, my body longs for You. I need Your Glory and fresh anointing to overshadow my life. Only you can fill this void in me. I have a burning desire to know You more, every day, every hour, every minute, every second, I strive to know you better. Help me to live Your word Lord, walk in Your truth, and be absolutely obedient to Your will. I am Your vessel, bought at a price, mold me and make me after Your will. My body is Your temple Holy Spirit. You are within me, and You lead me, bless me, heal and strengthen me.

Lord, I thank You for Your great mercy and Your amazing grace that abounds to me. I thank You that You are ever present with me. You are my Lord, my savior, my redeemer, my rock, my fortress, my righteousness, my sanctification, my peace, my source, my shield, my defense, my great reward, my covering, my banner, my High Priest, my strong tower, my deliverer, my healer, my faithful provider, my very best friend, and most of all, my loving shepherd. Thank You for loving me enough to lay down Your life for me. Thank You for the grace You poured out on me abundantly, giving me strength, considering me faithful, and anointing me for Your service. I also Thank You Lord for keeping me steadfast in Your will, and for ordering every step I take. I give You all the Glory, all the honor, and all the praise, for You alone are worthy!

Lord, thank You for clothing me in Your righteousness. I lay myself on the altar and whatever does not please You Lord, burn it up. Consume my will, my desires, my emotions, my flesh, and EVERYTHING that doesn’t line up with Your Will. Do whatever You desire to do in me, Lord. Do whatever it takes to keep me on Your holy hill. Lord, I surrender myself totally to You, for without You, I can do nothing, and I am nothing. It’s only through Your grace that I may be used, by You, to fulfill Your will. Use me Lord! This is the cry of my heart, my body, and my soul. Search me, O God, and know my heart. Test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness, make straight Your way before me. Teach me Your way and I will walk in Your truth; give me an undivided heart that I may fear Your name.

Thank You for giving me a pure heart and renewing a steadfast spirit within me. I desire to do only Your Will God; Your word is within my heart. Do not withhold Your mercy from me Lord. May Your love and faithfulness always protect me. Thank You for wisdom, vision and insight. You gave me a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. I will revere the gifts You put in me to build up others in a life of faith, so when the time comes for them to benefit the Body, the gift is ready. My prayer for my life is that You would use me mightily for Your Glory, and make Your will perfectly known to me so I will not stray from my everlasting course. Oh how I love You Lord.

Jesus, You defeated Satan, once and for all. You died on the cross, rose from the dead, took the keys to death, hell, and the grave, and made an open show of the devil. I worship and praise You, for You’re worthy of all glory and all honor. I united myself with You and I’m one with You in spirit. Your divine power gives me everything I need for life and Godliness, through my knowledge of You, who called me by Your own glory and goodness. God You make me stand firm in Christ. Your grace is sufficient for me. Your all-surpassing power is made perfect in my weakness. Bless me to be the very best me I can be. Please hide me, and allow others to see Jesus through me.

God talk me through the changes that affect my destiny, or change my life. Lord don’t let me do anything so stupid it aborts my destiny. Don't give me anything I can't handle, that will make me stumble or fall. You know me better than I know myself. If You see me doing something stupid STOP ME. Let me know Your voice so well I know when to just BE QUIET, to be comfortable and content where I am, or when You want to speak through me or use me. Teach me to be always abounding in Your work, steadfast, stable, consistent, and unmovable. Lord, I beseech You, help me to faithfully pray daily, give me patience, train me to be obedient and FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. Talk me through my needless frustrations. Help me praise You through my pain and comfort me, when I’m tired, confused, or weary. Teach me to overcome my emotions and not say things the wrong way, especially to my husband, family, and friends.

I am blessed because I delight in Your word and meditate on it day and night. I am like a tree planted by the rivers of water. I bring forth my fruit in my season; my leaf shall not wither; and whatever I do shall prosper. I am a true worshiper. I worship You Father in love, in spirit, and in truth. Thank You God for loving me and choosing me to do Your will. You said he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him, he that believes in Me, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Thank You for loving me, favoring me, and using me.

Lord, many said You wouldn’t deliver me. But You’re a shield around me, You bestow glory on me, and You lift up my head. To You Lord I cry aloud and You answer me from Your holy hill, for You are my deliverance. You bring me out and show everyone You’re with me, to Your Glory and Honor. You never let me be ashamed. I lie down and sleep in peace; I wake again, because You love me and sustain me.

Thank You God for this indescribable gift! Thank You for this new beginning! Thank You for starting my life over, knowing what I know now. I know because I’m blessed with abundance much is required of me. All my life I've purposed in my heart I would never stop seeking You. You told death it couldn't touch me. You brought me through SO many things, so many times. You’re always there when I call Your name. You know me better than I know myself. My prayer is to know You better every day. You’ll never let me down. I hunger and thirst for righteousness and I am filled. I love and adore You for choosing me. I thank You that I’ve found favor in your eyes.

Almighty God, keep me in Your pavilion, the place of Your presence. The place of thanksgiving, praise and worship, that stills the enemy and the avenger, and stops the devil. In Your pavilion, under Your covering, in the secret place of Your presence, Your anointing is released upon me. Many may say things against me, or do things to try and harm me, but because I’m surrounded by Your presence, and You love me and favor me, no one can hurt me. In Your presence I’m completely enveloped by Your Spirit. I’m protected, loved, and treasured. I’m fascinated, and totally delighted in You. I thank and praise You Lord for the blessing You are in my life. I lift my hands to You my Lord, my God, and I thank You for the secret place, for Your protection, and for Your love. You’ve prepared great things for me because I love You and seek You with all my heart. Thank You Lord for blessing me with financial abundance to fulfill the vision You put inside me. All-powerful God, spending time in Your presence satisfies the desires of my heart. My life prayer is to be used mightily by You to do Your will.

Worship is my secret place where the anointing is released and the enemy is stopped. I lay down my life for You God, to burn up and remove all things not of You so I may serve You. Please mature me beyond earthly things so when I’m in Your presence I may receive Your direction and guidance for my life, and all those on my prayer list, stand in the gap and travail to obtain the things others need or lack, to hear Your word for them, or to take help from heaven to those in a place remote from Your kingdom. Let me not speak with words of human wisdom, but when I open my mouth give me words to speak that demonstrate the Spirit's power; words by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths, in spiritual words.

I adore You Lord more than mere words can proclaim. I exalt, praise, glorify, and honor You. I extol Your majesty and Your virtue, and I love You with everything I am. I love You with so much intensity it’s overwhelming. Thank You My Lord for loving me. Thank You for providing me financial and spiritual abundance so that in all things, at all times, I have all I need to fulfill Your will, and abound in every good work. Thank You for making me rich in every way so I can be generous on every occasion, and my generosity will result in thanksgiving and glory to You. Jesus, what do You want me to do, to say, or to go? How can I be used to deliver, draw, bless, or heal?

God, I am so grateful that You love and favor me and my family. You’re so awesome God. You know how deeply I love You. There’s no way I can express how much I adore You and all You are to me. I am so very thankful You chose me for Your service, for blessing me and my family, and for answering my prayers. I thank You for Your amazing grace, mercy, favor, blessings and healing in our lives, for our ministries, our homes, furnishings, clothing, finances, and cars. I give You all the praise, glory, and honor for You blessed me with all I need to fulfill the vision You put in me. Thank You for the abundant blessings You bestow upon me, for the pleasure of tithing, special offerings, allowing me to bless my friends, my family, and my church, and always have enough left over to meet my needs, and to bless others as You lead me.

Let Your Will be done in our lives, and our ministries! I’m so grateful You’ve given us the resources to help so many people know You. I praise You God for allowing us to bring hope and salvation to those You have drawn who are lost, have no hope, and can’t find their way. By supplying their basic needs of decent housing, toiletries, clothing, and financial freedom, we can show them all things are possible through faith in You. Thank You for allowing us to bless so many and show them the love they’re looking for to fulfill them, the one who loves them as much as they want to be loved, the only one who has truly unconditional love for them and they can always depend on, is You. There’s no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than You.

Glory to Your name O Lord, my God, my King, You are robed in majesty. You are the greatest gift of all. You have saved me from the fall with Your gifts of love and mercy. Take control, have Your way in me. There's no one like You. I worship You in spirit and in truth. Refresh my soul. Come and breathe into me. I lift up my hands and magnify Your name. I give You all the honor, glory, worship, and praise You deserve.

I want to be in the higher place where You are. That secret place in You, the Holy of Holies. Take me there, past the gates, beyond the courts, above all powers and principalities, so we can commune together. Break me and draw me nearer as I run after You. I'm desperate for Your embrace. I need You to heal me, put the garment of grace on me, keep me safe in Your presence, by Your side. I can't live without You, light of truth giver of grace, mercy, and peace. I worship You, adore You, and love You with all my mind, my heart, my body, and my soul. You are the blessed trinity. Amen

My prayer for those chosen of God

        I worship You God, and my Lord Jesus Christ! I give You all praise, honor, and thanks because of Your righteousness, and I sing praises to Your Holy name. Thank You for Your grace, mercy and favor upon our lives. We hold firmly to the faith we profess for the persecution, trials, and tribulations, we must go through are nothing compared to the price You paid for our salvation. Jesus, you love us so much You laid down Your life for us. We're so grateful for Your extreme sacrifice. I have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place wrapped in righteousness, through Your blood. You are our great High Priest over God’s house, and I draw near to You with a sincere heart, in full assurance of faith. I hold unswervingly to the hope I profess, for You are faithful. lord, send down your power, release Your glory, pour Your oil upon us, and give us a passion like never before. Help us to be faithful in all we do as You are faithful.

I cry unto You my Lord and my King, let my prayer be set before You as incense, and my worship as my sacrifice, as I approach Your throne of grace with confidence, to receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. I call on You Lord for You answer me. Give ear to me and hear my prayer. I lay my requests before You and I wait in expectation. I come before You today Christ Jesus, to seek Your forgiveness, mercy, and to receive Your direction and guidance. Let us not lean on our own understanding, but in all our ways acknowledge You, for You make our paths straight. We trust You Lord with all our hearts. Only You can open our eyes so we can see You clearly, and our ears, so we can hear You clearly. You said whoever listens to Me will live in safety and be at ease without fear of harm. We have access to You Father through the blood of Your son, Jesus Christ. Thank You for all Your great and very precious promises.

O LORD my God, in Your presence today, I ask You to hear my sincere prayer, my plea for my family, and all Your people. Holy and righteous God, Your words are trustworthy. You've promised good things to your servants. Thank You for blessing us so we may continue forever in your sight. Thank You for abundant provision and Your gifts of grace, mercy, and righteousness, to my family and all the families on my prayer list, and all who pray with me against the enemy’s devices, so we may reign in life through Your son, Jesus the Christ. May our prayers reach Heaven, Your holy dwelling place, and may You forgive and deal with each man according to all he does, since You alone know the hearts of men. Build a hedge of protection around us, surround us with angels, bless us mightily and let only Your will be done. Holy Spirit fill us so we may speak boldly. Jesus cover us with Your precious blood. Bless us to live peaceful and quiet lives in all Godliness and Holiness with all glory, honor, and praise to You.

Jesus, Your word says “where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them”. Release healing in our bodies and minds from pain, sickness, depression, and infirmity. Release renewed confidence through Your grace for self-doubt or feelings of unworthiness. Release mercy when we are misjudged, misled, or misunderstood and release patience, understanding, and renewed strength where there is tiredness or exhaustion. Release peace, love, and joy in every household and family.

May all I pray be received into every heart. Deliver us from fear, give us strength, courage, and travel mercy. God you protect us by the POWER of Your name, and You surround us with Your favor as with a shield. I stand with all power in my hands through the blood of my King, Jesus. Satan, I command you, and every demon in hell to bow down under my feet for I have authority over you in Jesus' name. I stand in His authority today and command you to take your hands off my family, all families on my prayer list, our bodies, our homes, our ministries, our finances, and all God has given us, in the name of Jesus the Christ, image of the invisible God, Master of the universe, our Deliverer, Savior, and Blessed Redeemer.

Lord, please give us wisdom over our finances and never let us rob You of Your tithe. We must be faithful to give You Your portion as You’re faithful to fulfill our needs. Lord, let us be free of debt, with all our needs met. Help us to be cheerful givers, so that in all things, at all times, we have all we need to do Your will, and abound in every good work. Bless us abundantly and make us rich in every way so we can be generous on every occasion. Let our generosity, and our testimonies be given with love in Your name, and result in profuse thanksgiving, praise, and glory to You. God continue to guide, protect, and bless the men and women You’ve anointed and sent to direct Your chosen ones to the center of Your will. Holy Spirit fall upon us, give us the words to speak that will fulfill God's will. Power of the Most High overshadow us.

Thank You Lord for keeping us from making the mistakes we’re most prone to when temptations come, for sending angels to weed out of our lives everything that’s not of You, all that causes sin, and all who do evil; for keeping evil far from us, keeping us free from sin, and safe from the pain and grief that sin brings. You are faithful, and You break the power of the enemy off our lives and protect and strengthen us from the evil ones. Thank You for putting up a supernatural barrier from all the dangers we can’t see, and the ones, in our weakness, we think we can risk. Thank You for directing us away from all things not of You, letting us distinctly see Your perfect will for our lives, and keeping us in the center of it. Lord, send angels to lead our way so we’ll not stumble, falter, waiver, or in any way be diverted from our course. We cast our cares on You Lord for You sustain us and will never let us fall. God, You are the originator of all life, the creator and possessor of all forces and concepts, the true force of all that’s really life. Help us keep our eyes and minds fixed on You, for by You, and for You, all things were created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, for Your pleasure.

How true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears Him and does what is right. The message God sent to Israel, the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. What happened in Judea, beginning in Galilee after John preached the baptism, and God anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power, and He went around doing good and healing ALL who were under the power of the devil, because God was with Him. Witnesses saw everything He did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross, but God raised Him from the dead on the 3rd day, caused Him to be seen by the witnesses He chose, those who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. Jesus commanded us to preach to the people and testify He is the one God appointed as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify that all who believe in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His Holy name. While Peter was speaking the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. Circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles and they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. So even to Gentiles God granted repentance that leads to life.

Holy Spirit, fill our cups until they overflow, minister to our spirits, give us an overwhelming revelation of Your love, power, and direction, and lead our hearts into Your love and Jesus’ perseverance. Lord, spread Your protection over we who love You, that we may rejoice in You. Give us peace as we trust in You. Teach us to be patient, and wait for only YOUR WILL to be done in our lives. Thank You for the host of blessings You continue to bestow upon me, my family, our ministry, and all who are on my prayer list. Thank You for our sight, our hearing, our ability to walk, and for healing our bodies. You are a forgiving and understanding God that loves us so much You keep blessing us though we stumble and falter, and don’t always hear Your voice. Father, we love You, we adore You, and we praise Your Holy, precious, name.

Draw unto You the lost, those who can’t find their way, and have no hope through us. Reveal to them the love they’re looking for to fulfill them; and the only one who loves them as much as they want to be loved, is You. Let us be a living testimony to those who don’t know You are THE ONLY ONE who loves us unconditionally, and will never hurt us, or let us down, like SO many we've hurt, and who have hurt us. Forgive us, and let those we’ve hurt, known and unknown, forgive us as well. Your word says if Your chosen ones ask it shall be given them; if they seek they will find; if they knock the door shall be opened unto them. Anyone who trusts in You will never be put to shame. Jesus, please reveal to everyone I pray for that You change people and things, and there is nothing hidden from You. Your divine power is everything we need for life and Godliness. You are the only one on whom we can always depend. You are always there when we call Your name. There’s no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than You are, and the outcome of every battle is in Your hands. It's useless for us to worry, the solution to every question, doubt, or fear is in You and Your word. You are our very best friend. Sharing everything in our lives with You, is true prayer. I ask Your forgiveness for everything we’ve done or said that wasn’t pleasing to You. Search us, mold our hearts, transform our minds, and conform our will to Yours. Cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Fill us with all joy and peace while we trust in You and let our hope overflow by the power of the Holy Spirit who You sent to us. We are forever grateful for Your amazing gifts.

God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, equip us with abundant finances, all we need to do Your Will, and work in us what is pleasing to You. I praise and thank You for Your grace and mercy that’s new every morning, and for all You do for us throughout every day. Bless us so we may be a blessing to others. Keep us strong and uplifted so we may help the weak and edify, fortify, and encourage Your chosen ones. Set our hope fully on the grace to be given us when You, Jesus the Christ, our Messiah, the immortal Son of God, the great King Immanuel, are revealed. You love us, You are for us, You protect us, whom shall we fear? Your grace, my Lord, is sufficient for any problem.

Lord, hold our troops fighting for our freedom from tyranny in Your loving hands. Protect and guide them, as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Cover our troops with Your precious blood Jesus. Surround them with angels to protect, lead and guide them. I speak healing into all the soldiers injured in their minds and bodies through their fight for our freedom, and liberty. Lord make them whole again and let it be to Your Glory.

Father, we can do no good until Your Spirit, according to Your sovereign will, begins to move upon our lives and our hearts. If not for your grace not one of us would be saved. There are none who seek You, and really want to be holy, right, and true, except Your Spirit first breathes upon them and creates the desire in them. Jesus help us to remember the tremendous process involved when one calls on Your name for salvation. Your birth at Bethlehem; the anguish, darkness, and mystery of the cross; the wonder and miracle of the resurrection; the sending forth of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost; the process behind every call upon Your precious name. You arranged it and You're behind it all. You deserve all our praise, worship, and adoration.

The first step of our salvation, faith in You Jesus, comes from the gospel. The good news that You exist, that You took our place, You died for our sins, You redeemed us, and You reward those who diligently seek You. You are Lord of all and You richly bless all who call on Your Name, for Your word says everyone who calls on Your name will be saved. You bless whom You will bless, You have mercy upon whom You will have mercy, and You show compassion on whom You want to show compassion. God, the potter, makes out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use. He hardens whom He wants to harden for His will to be done. Your Spirit moves according to Your will. No man can predict or control where Your Spirit goes or how it moves. You are God alone, the one true living God of the universe, who is alive and well.

Rise up and revive Your remnant. We long for You to use us. In You we form one body, from the least of us to the greatest, and each member must work seamlessly with the others to complete Your will. Your love sustains us. We come out of the fire refined, in Your image, into the gifts You've given us, through Your grace and Your will. Anoint us to stir up these gifts and share our faith, and Your love, to guide those You've called so they may see and understand Your compassion and Your comfort. We must let them see that any good we do and all power in our earthen vessel, comes from You. Let our behavior reflect the peace, joy, and encouragement we receive in times of stress, so through our love and concern for them, we can bring them a word of peace. We will share how You strengthen and restore us through tests, trials and tribulations, and how we go from glory to glory through our tears, fears, and suffering. We will build confidence in them through our testimony, and they will feel free to ask questions or bring us any problems, with no fear of condemnation. We will build relationships by answering their questions with discernment, discretion, and love, in dependence upon Your love and power, resting upon Your forgiveness, Your grace, and Your mercy.

I know that in all things You work for the good of those who love You and have been called according to Your purpose. For those You foreknew You also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of Your Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers. Those You predestined You also called. Those You called You also justified, and those You justified You also glorified. God, You’re all we need. We trust You and we know You will equip us, to fill the longing You put in us, to become what You chose us, and created us, to be. We're not our own, we're bought with a price. We belong to You and we no longer live for ourselves. Our will, pleasure, and comfort, are not primary in our life, but only what You called us, and molded us to be. The more You reveal to us why You created us as You did, and who we are becoming, the more our behavior will change and we'll be able to follow the course You set before us.

You provide the power and strength for we are nothing, and we can do nothing without You. You work in us, and through us, in everything we do. You hear our prayers for forgiveness when we have erred, and You forgive us, even though we know we don't deserve it. We adore You God, because You don't hold our failures against us. You put Your word in us. You wrote it upon our hearts. You changed the motivation of our lives to Love for You and our brothers. As You build character in us we understand the glory of our relationship, and love becomes our only response. You said I will be your God, and you shall be my people. You supply the direction and the power and all we do is act on it.

Reveal Your will to us, and help us live our life worthy of our calling. We want to please You in every way, bear fruit in every good work, and grow in the knowledge of You; strengthened with all Your power, according to Your glorious might, so we may have great endurance and share in our inheritance in the kingdom of light. The very trials we go through produce in us the character we need. It mellows us, refines us, softens us, opens us up, and makes us more like You. Instead of being hard, callous, resistant, self-centered people, we're becoming responsive, open, and selfless. Our sufferings may pain us, but they won't damage us.

God, we who are rooted and established in love, need the power to fully grasp how WIDE, and LONG, and HIGH, and DEEP Your love is. I pray that out of Your glorious riches You will strengthen us with power, through Your Spirit, in our inner beings, and You will dwell in our hearts through faith. Please give us a full revelation of Your love that surpasses knowledge that we may be filled to the measure of all Your fullness. Our daily communion with You, and Your spirit dwelling in us, is Your will for our lives. Our whole spirit, soul and body unreservedly, unconditionally, for Your exclusive use, at Your disposal. We willingly give You the nothing we are so You can in turn give us everything You are. We are holy Your property, a chosen race, a holy nation, a royal priesthood. You make Your home in our hearts.

We step into every new day with complete expectation that Your life Jesus will be manifest in us. You made this possible through the sacrifice of Your body, once for all. With that amazingly great sacrifice, that offering, You made perfect forever those who are being made holy. Just as You who called us are holy unto God, we will be holy unto You in all we do. We are set apart to worship and serve You, and in You we find health, wealth, happiness, and wholeness. We’re washed, sanctified, and justified in Your name and by Your Spirit. You make us stand firm Christ. You anointed us, You set Your seal of ownership on us, and You put Your Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come, the salvation of our souls.

Jesus, we give You all the praise, all the glory, and all the honor, for being our loving shepherd and guiding us through every step of our lives; all we had to do was ask You in and allow Your will to be done in us. Teach Your sheep to hear Your voice, listen to Your word, pay attention and obey. We've been chosen by You God, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience unto Jesus, and the sprinkling of His blood. The world teaches obedience is a horrible thing, but obedience to You, through faith, is true freedom. Jesus, Your obedience on the cross led us to our righteousness. Your command is to believe in the POWER of Your name, and love one another, and this is love: that we walk in obedience to Your command. Grace and peace is ours in abundance. God I thank You and praise You for choosing us to accomplish Your will.

Lord, keep us from sin, and don't let us cause anyone to stumble. Increase our faith daily, and never let it fail. You supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory. We do everything as if we do it unto You, and we pray You're pleased with Your servants. Our faith in You makes us sure of what we hope for and certain of what we don’t see. We hope for what we don’t yet have and we wait for it patiently. When we ask we believe we will receive and we don’t doubt. This is the confidence I have in approaching you: that all I ask for in prayer, according to Your will, You hear. Knowing You hear what I ask, I know I will receive it, and it’s mine.

We trust and believe You and it’s counted to us as righteousness. Without faith it’s impossible to please You. Our confidence will be richly rewarded. By our faith we know You've forgiven our sins, saved us, answered our prayers, led us, healed us, fed and clothed us, and granted our requests. You said anyone who has faith in You will do the things You did, in Your name. Our hearts are purified by our faith. We will persevere so that when we’ve done Your will Jesus, we’ll receive all Your precious promises. We wait for the day You will come to bring us into Your Kingdom.

We ask You for wisdom God for You give generously to all without finding fault. May Your grace, mercy, blessings and peace be on Your people and our families. Since we’ve been justified through faith, we have peace with You God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we’ve gained access, by faith, into this grace in which we now stand. We’ve not seen You Jesus but we love You. We believe in You and we’re filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for we’re receiving the goal of our faith, the salvation of our souls. Help us consider it pure joy when we face many tests and trials, for we know the testing of our faith develops perseverance, whose finished work is that we are mature and complete, not lacking anything. Discipline is painful, but it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for we who have been trained by it. Our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in we who are the sons of God, on the Great and Glorious Day of Christ Jesus.

We walk in the light, as You are in the light in fellowship with one another, and Your blood Jesus purifies us from all sin. We boast in the hope of Your glory and glory in our sufferings. Your love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who You gave to us. For from You, and through You, and to You, are ALL things. I ask all these requests in Your precious name Jesus the Christ, my Lord and my Savior, my Blessed Redeemer, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Alpha and the Omega, and the Bread of Life. To God be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through all generations, forever and ever. We give all glory, honor, and thanks to our God & our King, forever!

Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be THY name. THY Kingdom come, THY Will be done, in earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, and deliver us from evil, for Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory forever and ever. Oh God, that You would bless us indeed, and enlarge our territories, that Your hand would be with us, and You would keep us from evil, that we may not cause pain. Lead us and guide us so Your Will, not ours, will be done. Your word says the one who trusts in You will never be put to shame.

Lord You are my shepherd, I shall not want. You make me to lie down in green pastures: You lead me beside the still waters. You restore my soul: You lead me in the paths of righteousness for Your name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: You anoint my head with oil, my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in Your house My LORD forever.

Psalm 13

A song of ascents. Of David. How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.

Psalm 138:8

Lord, You will fulfill Your purpose for me; Your love, O Lord, endures forever, do not abandon the works of Your hands.

Revelation 22:20-21

He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people.

Amen.
