Courageous

I will do this because Abraham listened to me and obeyed all my requirements, commands, decrees, and instructions.

“I am the God of your father, Abraham,” he said. “Do not be afraid, for I am with you and will bless you.

“We can plainly see that the Lord is with you.

But Isaac said, “Your brother was here, and he tricked me. He has taken away your blessing.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to be still and listen. Protect me and make me obedient to your desire that lives in me. Give me confidence and courage to represent you well today. Be with me in all that I do and keep me from being deceived.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

His

Then God opened Hagar’s eyes, and she saw a well full of water. She quickly filled her water container and gave the boy a drink.

“God is obviously with you, helping you in everything you do,” Abimelech said. 

“Abraham! Abraham!”

“Yes,” Abraham replied. “Here I am!”

12“Don’t lay a hand on the boy!” the angel said. “Do not hurt him in any way, for now I know that you truly fear God. You have not withheld from me even your son, your only son.”

“O Lord, God of my master, Abraham,” he prayed. “Please give me success today, and show unfailing love to my master, Abraham. 

she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels, too, until they have had enough to drink.

“Then I bowed low and worshiped the Lord. I praised the Lord, the God of my master, Abraham, because he had led me straight to my master’s niece to be his son’s wife.

When Abraham’s servant heard their answer, he bowed down to the ground and worshiped the Lord.

Lord God my Father,

Open my eyes to see your plan, allow me to see your way and allow your desire to be mine. Test me and make me strong. Deliver me from my brokenness so I may serve you completely. Help me to deliver all I have to your use. I will worship you in all things.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Focused

So she laughed silently to herself and said, “How could a worn-out woman like me enjoy such pleasure, especially when my master—my husband—is also so old?”

Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say, ‘Can an old woman like me have a baby?’ 14Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”

15Sarah was afraid, so she denied it, saying, “I didn’t laugh.”

But the Lord said, “No, you did laugh.”

Finally, Abraham said, “Lord, please don’t be angry with me if I speak one more time. Suppose only ten are found there?”

And the Lord replied, “Then I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.”

33When the Lord had finished his conversation with Abraham, he went on his way, and Abraham returned to his tent.

Genesis 19

But Abimelech had not slept with her yet, so he said, “Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation? 5Didn’t Abraham tell me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘Yes, he is my brother.’ I acted in complete innocence! My hands are clean.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to only see my abilities thru your wonder. Keep me from putting limits on what you wish to do thru me. Help me to believe in your Truth without compromise. Help me to touch the ignorant with your Peace and keep me from stumbling.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Righteous

 for among all the people of the earth, I can see that you alone are righteous. 

Lord God my Father,

Help me to become righteous, protect me from distractions and keep my focus on what is good and pure.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

His

You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.”

So Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him.

Lord God my Father,

Give me a heart that stays in your favor and leads me to do your will.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Blessed

Gen 1

And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to live my life as you desire including the desire to rest as you command. Make this year a time of honor and praise and cause me to be obedient to your plan.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Clear

 Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And he added, “These are true words that come from God.”

Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.

Then he instructed me, “Do not seal up the prophetic words in this book, for the time is near. 11Let the one who is doing harm continue to do harm; let the one who is vile continue to be vile; let the one who is righteous continue to live righteously; let the one who is holy continue to be holy.”

Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life. 15Outside the city are the dogs—the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s holy people.

Lord God my Father,

Please help me to keep my focus on your way and protect me from wondering. Help me to be a clear witness of your Glory and keep me from overthinking. Keep me in your Truth.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Understand

This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful.

Then another angel followed him through the sky, shouting, “Babylon is fallen—that great city is fallen—because she made all the nations of the world drink the wine of her passionate immorality.”

Then a third angel followed them, shouting, “Anyone who worships the beast and his statue or who accepts his mark on the forehead or on the hand 10must drink the wine of God’s anger. 

And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this down: Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds follow them!”

Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, causing it to scorch everyone with its fire. 9Everyone was burned by this blast of heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had control over all these plagues. They did not repent of their sins and turn to God and give him glory.

They are demonic spirits who work miracles and go out to all the rulers of the world to gather them for battle against the Lord on that great judgment day of God the Almighty.

“This calls for a mind with understanding: 

For all the nations have fallen18:3 Some manuscripts read have drunk.because of the wine of her passionate immorality.

Lord God my Father,
Give me strength and perseverance to endure the attack of evil and keep me in your grace. Help me to keep my eyes on you and not on the destruction around me. Protect me from the deceiver and allow your Peace and Truth to guide me and help me to touch others with your desires. Help me to understand.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Confident

“Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the Lamb!”

 “These are the ones who died in7:14a Greek who came out of. the great tribulation.7:14b Or the great suffering. They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and made them white.15“That is why they stand in front of God’s throneand serve him day and night in his Temple.And he who sits on the thronewill give them shelter.

But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk! 21And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

Lord God my Father,

Thank you for being so clear and allowing me to hear. Now give me the courage to speak your Truth and make me able to convey your message in a way that draws all to you. Protect me and my loved ones from false worship and guide us with your Peace.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Submit

God blesses the one who reads the words of this prophecy to the church, and he blesses all who listen to its message and obey what it says, for the time is near.

Don’t be afraid of what you are about to suffer. The devil will throw some of you into prison to test you. You will suffer for ten days. But if you remain faithful even when facing death, I will give you the crown of life.

“Yet there are some in the church in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes with evil. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. 5All who are victorious will be clothed in white. I will never erase their names from the Book of Life, but I will announce before my Father and his angels that they are mine.6 “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.

I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference.20 “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.

Then I began to weep bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll and read it. 5But one of the twenty-four elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne,5:5 Greek the root of David. See Isa 11:10. has won the victory. He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Each one had a harp, and they held gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. 

Lord God my Father,

Open my ears to hear your message and give me courage and confidence to carry it well. Keep my heart strong in your will and protect me from compromise. Cleanse me from my past so I may rest with your plan today without distraction. Discipline me as you see the need and help me to accept it well. Allow me to trust in your plan even when I don’t see your hope and allow it to cause me to grow closer to you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
