“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

“You don’t know what you are asking,”Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?”

“your faith has healed you.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to let go and trust you in all things, especially those I don’t understand. Help me find my place in your work and be obedient to you. Keep me from arrogance and self-desire. Make my faith unconditional.

In Jesus name I pray,

“Listen to what the unjust judge says.7And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?8I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

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

“Why do you call me good?”Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.

 “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

Lord God my Father,

Give me the courage to persist in seeking you in all things. The only good in me is you. With you in me, anything is possible, use me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”

Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.42I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”

Lord God my Father,

Your plan is beyond my understanding so allow me to do your will without the need for understanding. Make me simple and obedient. Hear my prayer and have your way with me today.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.9I

 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.

 ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family,28for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’

“If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

“Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”

Remember Lot’s wife!33Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.

Lord God my Father,

Give me the shrewdness of this world and help me apply it to light the darkness. Help me to be worthy so I can be trusted with your work and share with conviction the darkness that will come for those who don’t know you. Give me a faith that has no doubt and keep my focus ahead, not looking back.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

here is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.3What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.

“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.

Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’

Lord God my Father,

Open my eyes so I may see your way and protect my thoughts and keep them from wondering away from you. Give me strength and determination to seek you in all ways this day and restore me to your design so I may inspire family.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’6If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you.

“I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.19I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.20However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

“I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

 “Martha, Martha,”the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things,42but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Lord God my Father,

Open my heart to know your desire for me and not limit you acting through me. Help me to believe you can do anything through me, help me to bring you glory in every appointment.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!

The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.

“Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him? 49No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law—there is a curse on them.”

 Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Lord God my Father,

Be the only light I see, keep me from stumbling. Help me to not worry what others think if I share you well. Help me to present you in such a way that the lost seek you and bring your wisdom to me. Clean me from my past and make me new, cause my desires to honor you, help me to understand that I am never alone. Remove Satan and his desires from me and protect me this day.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Lord God my Father,

Keep me close and my eyes open to discern between good and evil. Give me a faith that does your work.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?10Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?11How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

“Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to understand and see your power without doubt. Keep me aware of Satan when he is in front of me and keep me from falling for his tricks.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

 “Are you still so dull?”Jesus asked them. 17“Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body?18But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.

“It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

27“Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

28Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.”

Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.”

 “What comes out of a person is what defiles them.21For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder,22adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.

“Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

Lord God my Father,

Remove my opinion and allow your thoughts to rest on me well. Open my eyes so I may see your desire and give me faith to act on it immediately. Allow your Truth to guide me completely.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
