I just want to say " THANK YOU LORD!"

09/05/2024

Dear Father in Heaven,

Let me never be an angry person who stirs up strife nor a furious person who abounds in transgression.
I pray that I will NOT be so filled with pride that I think of myself above others.
Instead, let me be humble and honorable.
May I be led by You when I choose others to partner with.
May I not fear others, but place my trust in You for my safety and my guidance.
You are my God and my judge.
You are the one I seek to please and to honor.
May I remain upright in my ways.
May I turn away from anything wicked.
My strength is in You.
Thank You.

In the name of Jesus my Savior I pray,
Amen.

Psalm 40:1-3 “I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD” (NIV).

Lord,

I am so thankful that You are my Shepherd and that no matter how deep the valley or dark the pit, You have gone before me and made a way. Help me to understand that Your ways are higher than mine. Forgive me when I complain that the way You have made for me is harder than I want it to be. I surrender my life to you, Lord, my God, and my Shepherd.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Father,

I am so tired of holding on to the pain in my life. I want to forgive those who have hurt me, let go of the pain, and walk on. Today, I lay down my pride and my rights. I will not seek revenge or retaliation. I choose to love my enemies and bless those who have hurt me. Help me, Father.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Our faith may falter and change from season to season, but we can rest in knowing that God is the One guarding and strengthening us. Because He who began a good work in us will carry it to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6).

Hallelujah, Amen. Thank you, Jesus. We don’t have to go it alone.

And so, when the doctor whispers the diagnosis you never wanted to hear. When a close friend or family member says they’ve stopped loving you. When a peaceful vacation turns into a nightmare full of disappointments. When your employer gives the promotion that they promised you to someone else. When you feel like you’ll never be the man or woman you used to be.

Remember, you are not alone, and your faith is not going to fail, because Jesus is praying for you. Oh, and I am too.

The Devil’s Lie: You are condemned.

Truth: I am forgiven and free.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1-2)

The Devil’s Lie: You are a loser.

Truth: I am a conqueror.

In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us (Romans 8:37).

The Devil’s Lie: You should feel insecure.

Truth: I am secure.

Those who fear the Lord are secure (Proverbs 14:26 nlt).

Heavenly Father,

Help me detect the lies of the enemy in my life. Help me to see if any thoughts do not line up with Your truth, and then give me the wisdom to reject the lies quickly and completely.

In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.

O Dear Heavenly Father,

This day brings heaviness to my heart and joy to my soul. Good Friday, the day that those of us who are followers of Christ "Christians" recognize the moment in history when your Son, our Savior, was led to the Cross, to suffer crucifixion and physical death and experience separation from You because of our sin. I am so sorry that my sin and the sin of mankind made it necessary for such a sacrifice.
I'm sorry that my sin caused Jesus such pain and grief and caused your heart to break. I thank You for providing a way for me to come to You through Jesus. I thank You that Good Friday was not the end, but that Jesus Christ resurrected on the third day and sits at your right hand today, interceding on my behalf and on behalf of all who come to Him with belief and faith and repentance. I remember today and I am grateful.

For it is in the name of Jesus that I can come to you, Father. Lovingly,
Amen.

Dear God,

I present to you my body as a living sacrifice unto You. Please help me to be holy and acceptable, which is my reasonable service (as Your Word exhorts in Romans 12:1). Guide and direct me, protect me from harm and evil, and shine through my life to influence the world around me for You. May You be glorified and may the lost be pointed to Jesus through the testimony of my life. Please keep me pure and forgive me, dear God, of my sins and failures so that I might start afresh, again today.

In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.

Lord,

I ask that You would receive the maximum amount of glory in and through my life. Drench me in the power of Your presence and wring me out so that others might be drawn to You. Keep my eyes open to opportunities to build others up in faith and keep my heart firmly rooted in Your love so that I will always be prepared to give an answer for the reason of my Hope.

In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.

God says, “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out — plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for”(Jeremiah 29:11).
