“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

 “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

“Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.”

51“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked.“My Rabbi” the blind man said, “I want to see!” And Jesus said to him, “Go, for your faith has healed you.” Instantly the man could see, and he followed Jesus down the road.

Lord God my Father,

I am blind from your truth so much, Open my eyes so I may see from your standards. Allow me the strength to serve as Jesus did and give me a faith without doubt.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

34But they didn’t understand any of this. The significance of his words was hidden from them, and they failed to grasp what he was talking about.

Lord God my Father,

I wish to understand your way, the way I used to want doesn’t make sense any more. Open my spirit to your way.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life

“Father, thank you for hearing me. 42You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to simply accept and stop attempting to understand, allow my faith to be simple and pure. Free from the influence Satan has in this world, Filled with Joy and Peace. Take my doubt and fear, open my heart to do your will only.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

And it is true that the children of this world are more shrewd in dealing with the world around them than are the children of the light. 

‘We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty.’”

Your faith has healed you

Lord God my Father,

Protect me and bring me your peace as I am in this world, show me the darkness so I can avoid it. I am a sinner but desperate to live under your authority. I am only worthy by your grace, give me faith that is solid on your truth.

For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

We 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 my Father,

Keep me in check that I don’t take any of your glory for myself. I am lost and only by your grace have I been found and become an excited part of your family. Thank you for always looking for me even when I was away from you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.”

Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.

Lord God my Father,

Give me your blessing and remove my suborn independence. I rely on you for everything, open my heart to your truth and desire.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“The man they call Jesus made mud and spread it over my eyes and told me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash yourself.’ So I went and washed, and now I can see!”

Then Jesus told him, “I entered this world to render judgment—to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they that they are blind.”

Lord God my Father,

Give me discernment over my obedience and remove my rebellious nature. Make me one with your desire and open my eyes to your way while protecting me from the great deceiver.

(When he said “living water,” he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him.

“You are from below; I am from above. You belong to this world; I do not. That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I Am who I claim to be, you will die in your sins.”

I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin. 35A slave is not a permanent member of the family,

Lord God my Father,

Thank you for protecting my spirit, help me to live in your desire and plan. Keep me on the path you designed for me free from my own poor decisions, loving my family as you love me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
