Job 1-5

One day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them. 7The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”

Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”

In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity? Curse God and die!”

Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him, because they saw how great his suffering was.

Lord God my Father,

You are almighty and all knowing, thank you for being so close to me that I may follow you. Your way is beyond understanding so help me to not try. The battle between good and evil rages all around me, help me to live in your Peace. Keep Satan at bay, help me to know how to defend against his desire. Keep me in a state of worship in all things, you are my strength. Surround me with good men that will support me as you designed it to be.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind.

Lord God my Father,

Your way leads to abundant life and Peace. Help me to know you so I may follow you completely. As I know you, I find who I was designed to be.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”

Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. 12God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to keep my focus on gratitude for every situation before me. Keep the desire of darkness away by allowing me to carry your light with confidence. Broken is all around me and in me, help me to not judge but to accept your judgment in my heart. Thank you for being with me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Gen. 1-3

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5“For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

 “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 

Lord God my Father,

You are creator and designer, your plan is perfect. Lord I am sorry I question you and make my own way. Forgive me and give me wisdom to find where I worship me more than you. Direct me back to your path and protect me from the deceiver who never leaves. Help me to be grateful in all things so darkness has no place to hide in my thoughts.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.”

Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.

“Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 

I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. 9But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!”

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.

Lord God my Father,

You are life eternal, Satan is death. Help me to wear your Truth in your Peace so the deceived may be led to you. Protect me from the temptation of darkness and show me how to keep my focus completely on you. Your grace is enough. Thank you for your unconditional love.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

“Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.18I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Lord God my Father,

You are the beginning and never ending. The fact that you are so close when we seek you is so powerful. Thank you for the struggles that cause me to seek you and find strength and wisdom. Protect me from allowing Satan access to my emotions so I don’t smother your message in my opinion. Search my mind and show me where I am distracted or deceived, restore me to your design. I want to see and hear all you offer.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, will be with us in truth and love.

I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

Lord God my Father,

Your Peace is the answer to all struggles, allow it to be seen and noticed by those in struggle including me. Distraction is ever present, protect me and give me discernment over my thoughts so your Peace in me is protected and my my guide in all my thoughts, words and actions.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, 16one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life. 

Lord God my Father,

Your word reveals so much. The fact that you use broken people for your glory give me hope. Lord God, Here I am, use me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him? 7You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor 8and put everything under their feet.” In putting everything under them,

But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. 

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.

Lord God my Father,

Your Love endures forever, you are the answer to all things. Help me to release my desire to understand so your will can rest well with me. Help me to use your Peace to encourage myself and others. You understand all my struggles personally and never fell to temptation, give me that strength.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

8Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

10And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

Lord God my Father,

Your way is freedom, help me to know this and not question you. Protect me from the attack constantly looking for me. Keep my focus on you without allowing distraction. You are the only answer for real Peace. You restore me and strengthen me, help me to allow you to have your way, I have proven my way doesn’t work as well as yours.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
