To live His Hope

Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. Esau ate the meal, then got up and left. He showed contempt for his rights as the firstborn.

They replied, “We can plainly see that the Lord is with you. So we want to enter into a sworn treaty with you. Let’s make a covenant.

Lord God my Father,
May I appreciate the Blessings you have shown me and give you proper respect and worship. Bless my actions so my family and friends will only see you thru my ways and may we delight in your ways.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Super Size my Faith

And Abraham picked up the knife to kill his son as a sacrifice.

“Do not hurt him in any way, for now I know that you truly fear God. You have not withheld from me even your son, your only son.”

“O Lord, God of my master, Abraham,” he prayed. “Please give me success today, and show unfailing love to my master, Abraham.

Before he had finished praying, he saw a young woman named Rebekah coming out with her water jug on her shoulder.

“The Lord has obviously brought you here, so there is nothing we can say.

“Our sister, may you become
the mother of many millions!
May your descendants be strong
and conquer the cities of their enemies.”

Lord God my Father,
Shape in me a faith that is pure and strong. May I be obedient to your will for me. May I trust in your way completely. May I come to you first in all things I do and think and trust in your answer. May I have God sized expectations.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

May evil become crippled

Then they blinded all the men, young and old, who were at the door of the house, so they gave up trying to get inside.

“All right,” the angel said, “I will grant your request. I will not destroy the little village.

But God had listened to Abraham’s request and kept Lot safe, removing him from the disaster that engulfed the cities on the plain.

In the dream God responded, “Yes, I know you are innocent. That’s why I kept you from sinning against me, and why I did not let you touch her.

“God is obviously with you, helping you in everything you do,” Abimelech said.

Lord God,
Use your power to blind the evil and open the eyes of your people to your truth. Give your people, people who seek you courage and compassion to reach out in Love to the fallen and help them seek your truth. May we your people plea with you non stop to protect the innocent of this place from the deceitful ways of this world. Reward the innocent and be with us in our daily walk, may we delight in you and with you.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

Pure faith, what a desire.

He built an alter to the Lord

And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.

Lord God,
May I have a heart that sees your wonder and gives you honor. May I believe without doubt your awesome power and be in a constant state of worship in all things.

In Jesus name I pray with great expectations,

Amen

Strength to do it His way

Why are you so angry?” the Lord asked Cain. “Why do you look so dejected? 7You will be accepted if you do what is right.

Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.”

So Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him.

Lord God,
Give me strength over the world so I may do what is right in your eyes. Protect me from sin around me, provide strength to subdue it, may I do everything as you command me.

In Jesus name,
Amen

A fresh new struggle, going for His way this time.

Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!
And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.

“You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. 5“God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”

At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves.

Lord God,
I wish to experience your “Very Good” creation. Protect me from the deceitful ways of this world. Open my eyes to your great plan and use me to express your Truth to those I can influence, especially me. May we delight each other in your creation, fallen as it is, to reveal the Peace you desire for us and created us to live in. May I have courage to stand firm on your desire over my own.
