Therefore, angels are only servants—spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation.

So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. 2For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished.

Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.

And to whom was God speaking when he took an oath that they would never enter his rest? Wasn’t it the people who disobeyed him? 19So we see that because of their unbelief they were not able to enter his rest.

God’s promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it. 2For this good news—that God has prepared this rest—has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn’t share the faith of those who listened to God.4:2 Some manuscripts read they didn’t combine what they heard with faith. 3For only we who believe can enter his rest. 

Lord God my Father,

Help me to see your plan and live it wholeheartedly, open my eyes to see and ears to hear and bring me wisdom as I ponder my struggles. Direct me to your rest.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“Sit in the place of honor at my right handuntil I humble your enemies,making them a footstool under your feet.”

Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.

But Christ, as the Son, is in charge of God’s entire house. And we are God’s house, if we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ.

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.

Lord God my Father,

Lead me in my faith to live completely under your authority, use my struggles to give me a strength in my faith, open my heart to me and help me get it in order.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

The Lord will help you understand all these things.

If we die with him,we will also live with him.12If we endure hardship,we will reign with him.If we deny him,he will deny us.13If we are unfaithful,he remains faithful,for he cannot deny who he is.

Lord God my Father,

Give me your perspective so I may understand when I am ready, help me to remain faithful always.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. 12Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses.

Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted. 16Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good.

Do not get involved in foolish discussions about spiritual pedigrees3:9 Or spiritual genealogies. or in quarrels and fights about obedience to Jewish laws. These things are useless and a waste of time. 10If people are causing divisions among you, give a first and second warning. After that, have nothing more to do with them. 11For people like that have turned away from the truth, and their own sins condemn them.

Lord God my Father,

You own my heart, keep me lifted out of my way and secure in your way in all I do this day. Give me your wisdom on where to engage and not. Bless your people this day.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

 Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.

Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. 

Lord God my Father,

Let me be an example of your truth and keep me in your peace.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Come close to God, and God will come close to you. 

Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.

The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.

In every place of worship, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy.

Lord God my Father,

Bring your power between Satan and me, protect me from his lies. Keep me in action, doing your work, help me to live in peace not the struggle. Clean my heart so I may worship you properly.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ. They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth. But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives.

God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. 13And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong,1:13 Or God should not be put to a test by evil people. and he never tempts anyone else. 14Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.

You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to have actions that please you, keep my thoughts under your authority, help me to live your plan alone. Give me your discipline to guide my day.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Then Peter replied, “I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism. 35In every nation he accepts those who fear him and do what is right. 36This is the message of Good News for the people of Israel—that there is peace with God through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.

Lord God my Father,

Allow your way to restore me to your design. May your peace be all I seek in this world.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

11May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ1:11 Greek with the fruit of righteousness through Jesus Christ.—for this will bring much glory and praise to God.

For I know that as you pray for me and the Spirit of Jesus Christ helps me, this will lead to my deliverance.

Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,to the glory of God the Father.

Lord God my Father,

Fill me to overflowing with your Truth and Love, allow me to represent you well, deliver me from placing limits on your ability. Help me to represent your Glory to all this day.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. 8But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. 

And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.

Remember my chains.

Lord God my Father,

You are my life and I rest in you, protect me from my old tendencies and keep me in your will. Allow me to use your power and desire to guide me this day.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
