Protection from deception.

The leading priests picked up the coins. “It wouldn’t be right to put this money in the Temple treasury,” they said, “since it was payment for murder.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to understand right from wrong and give me power to see the truth and protection from the deceiver.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

More of His peace, less of my reactions.

 “I am the way, the truth, and the life. 

The words I speak are not my own, 

You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, 

When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.

Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you. 

May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me 

Lord God my Father,

Open my spirit to your truth so I may let go of my way. I need your peace to rest in me to the point the world can’t get to it. I wish to produce for your kingdom not mine. I want to react to Satan’s jabs with your peace on my heart.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Oh to please only Him

They went off to the city and found everything just as Jesus had said,

Then they began to argue among themselves about who would be the greatest among them. 

“Peter, let me tell you something. Before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.”

“Get up and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation.”

But this is your moment, the time when the power of darkness reigns.”

At that moment the Lord turned and looked at Peter. 

Lord God my Father,

May I only follow your plan without including my desire other than to follow you. Place my heart in your care and allow my trust to be whole in you. Protect me from the tempter while I am in this world. I want to please you only.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

To do with His ability

dividing it in proportion to their abilities.

“Before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me.” 

Lord God my Father,

Give me the protection I need from you to do your work, take away my weakness and grant me courage to have no doubt in what you can do thru me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Totally for the Kingdom.

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

 ‘Master, you gave me five bags of silver to invest, and I have earned five more.’

28“Then he ordered, ‘Take the money from this servant, and give it to the one with the ten bags of silver. 29To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance.

 But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away. 

Lord God my Father,

I want to always be looking for you, direct my thoughts and give me bold desire to follow your path. I wish to be obedient to you and need to change my way. Give me wisdom in my actions so I can do kingdom work at all times.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Always moving forward

You, too, must keep watch!  Don’t let him find you sleeping when he arrives without warning. I say to you what I say to everyone: Watch for him!”

Lord God my father,

Keep me moving in your direction, protect me from my compromised way. Make me whole in your desire.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Free from myself.

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

love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’

Realizing how much the man understood, Jesus said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.”

Lord God my Father,

Bring your truth on me and remove my desire. I wish to only have your desire on my heart and do your will. I trust you will provide for the needs I have.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

ever-growing faith

 But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. 24I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it,

Father, save me from this hour’? But this is the very reason I came! 28Father, bring glory to your name.”

Lord God my Father,

I do believe and I need protection from the deceiver that creates doubt. Allow the strength of truth to rest well on me so I may do your will as long as I can.

In Jesus name I pray

Amen

The way that makes sense.

“Zacchaeus!” he said. “Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today.”

 “Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham. 10For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.”

But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes. 

Lord God my Father,

May I be eager to invite you into all areas of my life, I am lost in my way and deed your direction in my life, inspire me and open my eyes to your desire for me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Stronger than temptation.

 “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.”

Lord God my Father,

I do believe but still Satan has his way from time to time, Help me to grow so strong in my faith none of the tricks used to weaken me can get to me. I want to be stronger than the temptations I have fallen to.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
