Secure

He would get up early in the morning and offer a burnt offering for each of them. For Job said to himself, “Perhaps my children have sinned and have cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular practice.

What I always feared has happened to me. What I dreaded has come true.26I have no peace, no quietness. I have no rest; only trouble comes.”

Lord God my Father,

Shape my heart to bring your honor to my family. Motivate me with your Truth and bless my children and wife. Protect me from Satan’s desire to destroy.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Delightfully overwhelmed

And the Lord was pleased with the aroma of the sacrifice and said to himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me aware of my nature so I may turn from it, allow me to rest in your nature and replace my way with yours. I am evil without you, overwhelm me in your Truth.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

His

He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon!”Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!21May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s holy people.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me close so I may not be deceived, I wish to bring you honor with my every breath.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Courage for Peace

God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. 6So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth.

For the Spirit2:27b Greek the anointing. teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. 

And now, dear children, remain in fellowship with Christ so that when he returns, you will be full of courage and not shrink back from him in shame.

 When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous. 8But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. 

Lord God my Father,

Give me the courage and discernment to do what is right not matter the consequences. Your desire brings peace that I long for.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

His day, His way

It has come at last—salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ.12:10a Or his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters12:10b Greek brothers. has been thrown down to earth—the one who accuses them before our God day and night.11And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony.

Lord God my Father,

May this day unfold as you desire with me at peace with it. You are in control and your plan is perfect. Give me discernment and courage to stand for you in all things.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

In His desire I can live abundant.

“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.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to live your plan and let you into all areas of my life. Help me to allow your strength to overcome my weakness and to care for my life as you desire, change my desire to yours.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

In His Power

All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.

All glory to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us. 6He has made us a Kingdom of priests for God his Father. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.

“But I also have a message for the rest of you in Thyatira who have not followed this false teaching (‘deeper truths,’ as they call them—depths of Satan, actually). 

Lord God my Father,

You are the Truth and the Light. Keep me under your authority and protected from attack by the darkness.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

His Truth, Love

Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. 

Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.

We know that God’s children do not make a practice of sinning, for God’s Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot touch them.

Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.

Lord God my Father,

Fill my heart with your Truth so I may carry your Love properly, protect me from the fear in the world. Keep my eyes focused on you and away from distraction.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

In Peace, at peace

And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.

 Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, 6and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, 7and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.

They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves of sin and corruption. For you are a slave to whatever controls you.

And remember, our Lord’s patience gives people time to be saved.

Lord God my Father,

Give me an ability to share your nature with others as I grow in my understanding. Give me a heart that desires your Truth and protects me. Give me discernment over the corruption Satan wants me to ponder.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

A stone

And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What’s more, you are his holy priests.

He did not retaliate when he was insulted,

Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. 

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith.

Lord God my Father,

Use me to build your temple. Give me a kind heart that doesn’t need to have it’s way. Allow your Love to develop in me as you desire and protect me from evil.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
