“His father said to him, ‘Look, dear son, you have always stayed by me, and everything I have is yours. 32We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!’”
Lord God,
Take me back into your family, I have wondered for so many years and I am starving for your peace and truth in my purpose. Restore me to your original design.
In Jesus name,
Amen
We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but he is ready to hear those who worship him and do his will.
“I entered this world to render judgment—to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind.”
and no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant,
Lord God,
May I only listen to you, may I live a life pure in my spirit to truly know you and do your will. Open my eyes to see and give me strength to do your will. Reveal the darkness I allow and shine your light on it.
In Jesus name,
Amen
The world can’t hate you, but it does hate me because I accuse it of doing evil.
“Since you don’t know who I am, you don’t know who my Father is. If you knew me, you would also know my Father.”
Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I Am!8:58 Or before Abraham was even born, I have always been alive; Greek reads before Abraham was, I am. See Exod 3:14.” 59At that point they picked up stones to throw at him. But Jesus was hidden from them and left the Temple.
Lord God my Father,
Remove the hate from my presence and spirit. Allow me to live in your truth and stand for you in this world and family. Allow me to know you.
In Jesus name,
Amen
“Every plant not planted by my heavenly Father will be uprooted, 14so ignore them. They are blind guides leading the blind,
“Everything he does is wonderful. He even makes the deaf to hear and gives speech to those who cannot speak.”
Lord God,
May I only harvest what you plant and destroy everything that is not from you. Every thing wonderful is of you and I wish to live wonderful in your ways.
In Jesus name,
Amen
“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36But you haven’t believed in me even though you have seen me.
Many of his disciples said, “This is very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?”
Lord God,
Be with me and deliver me from my past and into this moment with you. Help me to understand and believe. Open my heart to I may seek your truth.
In Jesus name,
Amen
For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”
Lord God,
Forgive my arrogance for I am a sinner. Remove my sin and allow me to live in your power and purpose, I wish to freely follow your way and show your love to this dark place.
In Jesus name,
Amen
“Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!”
Then the entire town came out to meet Jesus, but they begged him to go away and leave them alone.
In fact, in his public ministry he never taught without using parables; but afterward, when he was alone with his disciples, he explained everything to them.
“Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
“Send us into those pigs,” the spirits begged. “Let us enter them.”
13So Jesus gave them permission.
The crowd laughed at him. But he made them all leave,
Lord God,
May faith in you be all I need to live above fear. May I surrender all my tendency to have unholy thoughts and do unholy things to your truth and embrace your forgiveness. Bring understanding of this life in this world and release your wonders to me. May I trust in you completely.
In Jesus name,
Amen
“A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his own family.” 58And so he did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief.
The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”
When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm. 25Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?”
Lord God,
May I accept your ability to perform miracles in my life, You are the creator of all and the creator of me. Lord God, allow me to understand you are in complete control and I have nothing to fear. Give your peace to my spirit and may I please you in all things.
In Jesus name,
Amen
Jesus knew their thoughts and replied, “Any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed. A town or family splintered by feuding will fall apart.
“A tree is identified by its fruit. If a tree is good, its fruit will be good. If a tree is bad, its fruit will be bad.
Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother!”
Lord God my Father,
Know my thoughts and protect them, unite my family as you unite my spirit and actions. Bring unity to my marriage and family, encourage us to support each other not fight to have our own way. Help us to produce your fruit that can only be good. May we do your will and follow the path you intend for us. Use me as your guide.
In Jesus name,
Amen
Because you believed, it has happened.
Lord God,
I believe but I struggle to believe. Bring peace to my spirit that I truly believe you are in control.
In Jesus name,
Amen
