The world can’t hate you, but it does hate me because I accuse it of doing evil.

Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I Am!8:58 Or before Abraham was even born, I have always been alive; Greek reads before Abraham was, I am. See Exod 3:14.” 59At that point they picked up stones to throw at him. But Jesus was hidden from them and left the Temple.

Lord God my Father,

Remove the hate from my presence and spirit. Allow me to live in your truth and stand for you in this world and family. Allow me to know you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

“Every plant not planted by my heavenly Father will be uprooted, 14so ignore them. They are blind guides leading the blind,

“Everything he does is wonderful. He even makes the deaf to hear and gives speech to those who cannot speak.”

Lord God,
May I only harvest what you plant and destroy everything that is not from you. Every thing wonderful is of you and I wish to live wonderful in your ways.

In Jesus name,
Amen

“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36But you haven’t believed in me even though you have seen me.

Many of his disciples said, “This is very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?”

Lord God,
Be with me and deliver me from my past and into this moment with you. Help me to understand and believe. Open my heart to I may seek your truth.

In Jesus name,
Amen

For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”

Lord God,
Forgive my arrogance for I am a sinner. Remove my sin and allow me to live in your power and purpose, I wish to freely follow your way and show your love to this dark place.

In Jesus name,
Amen

“Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!”

The crowd laughed at him. But he made them all leave,

Lord God,
May faith in you be all I need to live above fear. May I surrender all my tendency to have unholy thoughts and do unholy things to your truth and embrace your forgiveness. Bring understanding of this life in this world and release your wonders to me. May I trust in you completely.

In Jesus name,
Amen

“A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his own family.” 58And so he did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief.

The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”
When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm. 25Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?”

Lord God,
May I accept your ability to perform miracles in my life, You are the creator of all and the creator of me. Lord God, allow me to understand you are in complete control and I have nothing to fear. Give your peace to my spirit and may I please you in all things.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Jesus knew their thoughts and replied, “Any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed. A town or family splintered by feuding will fall apart.

Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother!”

Lord God my Father,
Know my thoughts and protect them, unite my family as you unite my spirit and actions. Bring unity to my marriage and family, encourage us to support each other not fight to have our own way. Help us to produce your fruit that can only be good. May we do your will and follow the path you intend for us. Use me as your guide.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Because you believed, it has happened.

Lord God,
I believe but I struggle to believe. Bring peace to my spirit that I truly believe you are in control.

In Jesus name,
Amen

“Look at my Servant, whom I have chosen.
He is my Beloved, who pleases me.
I will put my Spirit upon him,
and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
19He will not fight or shout
or raise his voice in public.
20He will not crush the weakest reed
or put out a flickering candle.
Finally he will cause justice to be victorious.
21And his name will be the hope
of all the world.”

But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house right on the ground, without a foundation.

Lord God,
Remove my hardened heart and place me in your peace and control. Unite my spirit with my body and may I obey you in all things.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Therefore, my judgment is just, because I carry out the will of the one who sent me, not my own will.

Lord God,
May I only carry out your will this day.
In Jesus name,
Amen
