And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. 11And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. 12Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. 13But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come.

 “So you, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return.

“And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’

Lord God my Father,

Open my eyes so I may see, Open my heart so I may know you. Allow your Peace and strength to flow through me and bring comfort to my family and others. Allow my prayers to be pure and holy, bring me close to you so I may be used. Thank you, Lord, for your design and Holiness. Allow me to represent you well.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

If anyone asks what you are doing, just say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will immediately let you take them.”

 “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple will be called a house of prayer,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves!”

“Yes,” Jesus replied. “Haven’t you ever read the Scriptures? For they say, ‘You have taught children and infants to give you praise.’

“I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. 22You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.”

Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God.

Lord God my Father,

Tell me what you want and give me courage to do it without hesitation or question. Keep me from distorting your desire which lives in me to my desire. You have designed me to praise you without question so allow your way to flow through me. Remove my doubt so I may do your will as only you can without my interference. Help me to know you!

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom.

All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom.

Lord God my Father,

Your Peace is my guide, give me discernment to know you and protect me from the deceiver. Help me with my surrender, make it complete.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being.

“Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”

“You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.

Lord God my Father,

Open my heart so I may know your desire, protect me from Satan’s deceit and in your desire. Give me faith that can do your will.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

She replied, “That’s true, Lord, but even dogs are allowed to eat the scraps that fall beneath their masters’ table.”

28 “Dear woman,” Jesus said to her, “your faith is great. Your request is granted.” And her daughter was instantly healed.

You know how to interpret the weather signs in the sky, but you don’t know how to interpret the signs of the times!

Why can’t you understand that I’m not talking about bread? So again I say, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’”

Lord God my Father,

I am unworthy, yet you love and bless me. Thank you for allowing me to grow close to you. Allow me the understanding to live as you desire and give me discernment to only follow your design.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

And he added, “God blesses those who do not fall away because of me.”

“Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. 37The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.”

 “When an evil  spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, seeking rest but finding none. 44Then it says, ‘I will return to the person I came from.’ So it returns and finds its former home empty, swept, and in order. 45Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before. That will be the experience of this evil generation.”

Lord God my Father,

Keep me close so I may hear your desire. Help me to learn how to allow you to carry my burdens. Keep my mind from thoughts that separate me from your Peace and keep your spirit in me loud enough to make me undesirable to evil.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“Lord,” the man said, “if you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean.”

3Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” 

The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”

26Jesus responded, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm.

 “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.”

“The harvest is great, but the workers are few. 38So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.”

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.

Lord God my Father,

I am willing, help me to remove all doubt. Give me a faith without compromise and confidence. Keep me from allowing fear to be any part of my thoughts, heal me from my weakness. Use me for your will and thank you for loving me without condition.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

 If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.

Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one.

“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.

The highway to hell  is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. 14But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.

Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.

When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29for he taught with real authority—quite unlike their teachers of religious law.

Yet how quickly they forgot what he had done! They wouldn’t wait for his counsel!

He handed them over to pagan nations, and they were ruled by those who hated them.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to keep my heart completely focused on you, protect me from judging others. Keep my decisions under your control and keep me from worry. I want to stay on your path even when I struggle with myself and do your will. You are my authority, keep me close and protect me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“It should be done, for we must carry out all that God requires.

 “Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’

 “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.

And they left their nets at once and followed him.

Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.

Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to stay close to you and not wonder away. Give me discernment to notice Satan when he is tempting me. Keep me from following my sin nature and obedience to act as you ask me to. I am so grateful you are so close to me, continue to shape me as you desire.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.

I will praise my God to my last breath!

34May all my thoughts be pleasing to him,

for I rejoice in the Lord.

Lord God my Father,

You are everything good, rest in me and keep me from falling for any deceit. Keep me near and be my God.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
