God might kill me, but I have no other hope.
I am going to argue my case with him.
16But this is what will save me—I am not godless.
If I were, I could not stand before him.

O Lord God,
You alone are in control, I fool myself by being in control, only by my complete surrender to your desires for me will I find peace. Lord God, give me the strength and wisdom to be obedient to you and to stop wallowing in my own pity. Help me to turn loose your power bottled up in me so I may live complete in your glory.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Then I could speak to him without fear,
but I cannot do that in my own strength.

Lord God,
I am too weak to breathe or to walk on your earth. I am weary and tired of this struggle, I give up.
Lord God, take this broken life and put it together under your authority, my way leads me back into darkness. I am a failure on my own. Lord God, I give up, I surrender, I have no more desires.
I submit wholeheartedly to you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

a man of complete integrity. He feared God and stayed away from evil.

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

Lord God,
May I be a man of integrity, May my thoughts be pure and my heart focused on you. Lord God, I lift up my children and wife and pray for protection for them, shine your light on them and open their hearts to accept your council. May I support and pray for them from a true loving position, to bring your glory to light in this world of darkness.

In Jesus name,
Amen

6“Why are you so angry?” the lord asked Cain. “Why do you look so dejected? 7You 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.”

6So the lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart.

Lord God,
Make me aware of any anger living in my spirit so I may surrender it to your care, Allow me to love unconditionally and remove my sin nature that creates the anger in me and deliver me from the desires of this world so I may only delight you, not disappoint you.

Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!

And you will desire to control your husband,
but he will rule over you.

Lord God,
may I see only your good around me, Protect me from seeking this worlds sinful pleasures. Allow me to lead my family with your wisdom and focus. May we delight you in our worship. May I be obedient to you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Everyone 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.

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

Lord God,
May I only curse the evil which is around me and only give you glory, glory of your love for me, a love that disciplines and makes me aware of the wrong that lives in me. Lord God, have your way with me and purify me so I may live in your glory, not the so called glory of this world. Protect me and keep me under your authority, not the authority of this world.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Love means doing what God has commanded us, and he has commanded us to love one another,

Be diligent so that you receive your full reward.

Lord God,
May I surrender to love others as you love me. Help me to overcome my ways and conditions I place on loving and accept the world as it is and love it as you do.
In Jesus name,
Amen

25Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written.

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.

But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.

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.

For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. 5And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

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

Lord God,
I confess to you that I am a sinner, I don’t follow you wholeheartedly, I hold back so much of my trust and control. Lord God, open my eyes to see your truth so I may overcome my doubt. protect me from this world and the control I allow it to have on me.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Simon Peter exclaimed, “Then wash my hands and head as well, Lord, not just my feet!”

All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true.”

The energy of your spirit will over come the lack of energy in your body

Lord God,
Help me to understand, open my eyes and heart so I may understand your desire for me. Remove my past and prepare me for a future with you in control. Lord God, may I be made strong in my weakness by surrendering to your will.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Thomas, nicknamed the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go, too—and die with Jesus.”

Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, thank you for hearing me. 42You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me.”

Lord God,
Help me to remove the Thomas in me and to trust in your will. Lord, replace my will with yours, protect me from my past and present me to the moment I live in with your power and strength. Lord God may I only hear your voice, not this world’s.

In Jesus name,
Amen
