Always ready

You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.

If the master returns and finds that the servant has done a good job, there will be a reward.

Lord God,
May I live my life in a constant state of doing your will. May I do your will at all times. Lord God, I surrender to you now take from me my evil desires so I may be relived from my conflict and struggle to be in control and allow you to rule all of me.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Wisdom and Obedience

Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”

Then Jesus told them, “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.

So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. 30But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.

Lord God,
Help me with my leadership of my family. Lord give me wisdom and obedience to act on your desire for me.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Powerful in Love

“What kind of man did you go into the wilderness to see? Was he a weak reed, swayed by every breath of wind? 8Or were you expecting to see a man dressed in expensive clothes?

And from the time John the Baptist began preaching until now, the Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing, and violent people are attacking it.

Lord God,
Make me strong in your power, help me to stand firm for you, give me discernment to see evil and strength to stand against it in Love.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Do I run to or from God’s work for me.

Then the entire town came out to meet Jesus, but they begged him to go away and leave them alone.

“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.”

Lord God,
Give me power over my desires to serve you completely, make me one of your workers, replace my desires with yours.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Do I produce fruit?

When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife.

Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.

Lord God,
Be with me, protect me, Make me pure with your spirit. May I produce much fruit for you alone.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Oh to have faith in my flesh.

“No!” Peter declared emphatically. “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the others vowed the same.

Suddenly, Jesus’ words flashed through Peter’s mind: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny three times that you even know me.” And he broke down and wept.

Lord God,
My spirit is strong but my flesh is weak. Lord God, give me power over my flesh, help me to Live in my spirit and do your will not my own.
In Jesus name,
Amen

oh to trust my faith

but she, poor as she is, has given everything she had to live on.”

Don’t let him find you sleeping when he arrives without warning. 37I say to you what I say to everyone: Watch for him!”

Lord God,
Help me with my faith, help me to let go of all I have and see the truth, the fact it is all yours, I am only a steward. Lord God I have a selfish spirit, may it be humbled to your power, may I trust you with my needs and expect no more but may I live large in your glory.
In Jesus name,
Amen
