At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,13but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to keep my focus on you and not be distracted by the deceiver. Give me discernment of my thoughts and keep me close to you so darkness is avoided. Allow you light to be constant on me so I am serving you first in all things.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“Watch out that no one deceives you.6Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many.7When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.33Be on guard! Be alert

What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’ ”

Lord God my Father,

Allow your Peace to be my only guide and protect me with discernment towards deceit. Give me confidence that your words will find me at the right time, give me courage to speak them well. Time is the unknown, help me to not anticipate the next moment but allow it as you desire.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Look, your house is left to you desolate.39For 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,

Help me to identify and purge the desire to question you plan and be obedient to you above all else.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“ ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; 11 the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

“Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.44They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”

Lord God my Father,

Show me how to keep my focus on you without the distractions of this world, use me for your kingdom. Purify my Love and remove any darkness my desires may influence. Help me to give all that I have to you for your work.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“Have faith in God,”Jesus answered. 23“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.

For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken.50I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”

Lord God my Father,

You are creator of all things including my faith. Help me to remove my doubts and believe without ponder, just believe. Help me to live as you speak to me without my desire creating conflict.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.10For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

Lord God my Father,

Release the greed from my heart and allow me to allow your spirit to influence mine so I may be like you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’

“But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius?14Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you.15Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?”he asked.

33“Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.”

34Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

“Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.22If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to not live a life of comparison but of focus on your way. Teach me how to ask for your way before I move forward, give me faith without doubt, help me believe!

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

26Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”

52 “Go,”said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.”Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

Lord God my Father,

Lord God, I am blind and I want to truly see. Keep me from my own desires and make me see yours. Give me protection over the darkness ever prowling and keep me in your light. Without you I am nothing but dirt, with you I am freedom. Show me the way and give me courage to follow it.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

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

The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them, and they did not know what he was talking about.

Lord God my Father,

Strip me bare and let me see as I once did. Help me to not live in doubt but in wonder. With you all things are possible. Open my spirit to know you and live for you alone.

in Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;26and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

 “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,

You are life and all things good. Help me to put all my faith in your plan and protect me from deceit. Help me to live by your way above the worlds. Give me confidence without question of your ability and deliverance, help me to know you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
