The blameless spend their days under the Lord’s care

The blameless spend their days under the Lord’s care, and their inheritance will endure forever. Psalm 37:18 Loving and merciful Father, I'm thankful to have you as my God, my strength, my hope and my salvation.

For he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones

For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. Proverbs 2:6-8 Father God, I know that everything is in your loving hands, but you have given us free will to choose and it is up to me to make the right choices, to walk blameless before you and surrender my life to you. I give you control to guide the course of my life O Lord, guard me, be my shield and protect me from anything that would steer me away from you. Give me your heavenly wisdom, knowledge and understanding as I faithful follow you and do your will, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen  

Do not judge, or you too will be judged

 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:1-2 Merciful and loving Lord in heaven, I thank you for not treating me as I deserve to be treated and for not giving up on me, I thank you for being a just and loving God who forgives all our sins and loves us with unconditional love. I humbly come to you today asking you to help me be more like you, give me the ability to stop judging or criticizing others and remind me that you are the only one in position to correctly judge anyone, O God, help me obey and carry out your will, to love unconditionally as you do and to be a mirror of your love and grace, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock

“The steadfast of mind you will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in you.“Trust in the Lord forever, For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock.

Amen  

God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear

And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 Faithful and merciful Lord in heaven, I humbly come to you asking for your grace and mercy, asking you to give me the confidence and the assurance that even through I may experience difficulties, hardships, trials, struggles and temptations in life, you will be right beside me and will never live me. Though some situations may seem more than I can bear, remind me that I will be victorious because I have your promises, and you will always provide a way out, O Lord, help me live a faithful, joyful, grateful and godly life, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.

I and the Father are one.” John 10:27-30 Thank you Jesus for your great sacrifice on the cross, for the gift of salvation and the hope of eternal life, for your amazing promises and protection.

Bear with one another in Love

I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

Those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires

Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:5-8 Father in heaven, you are the living God and creator of all and I am thankful to be your child; I want to live a life of peace, to be humble, caring, selfless and pleasing to you. Melt me, mold me, fill me with your love and use me for your glory, O Lord. May my desires be your desires, may I be led by your Spirit in all I say and do and may my actions testify that I am the child of the living God, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

For the Lord God is a sun and shield

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. Psalm 84:11 Thank you Father God, for being a sun and shield for those who love you and walk blameless before you. I know that you love me and want the best for me, O Lord, do not withhold your blessings from me, guide my feet, that I may walk in righteousness and blameless before you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:16 Merciful and forging Father in heaven, I humbly come to you to ask you to cleanse me from all my sins, to cleanse me from unrighteousness that your eyes may be on me and your ears may be attentive to my prayer. Thank you for the privilege we have in prayer, and for teaching us to bring all request to your throne of grace, O Lord, please bless me, fill me with your Spirit and teach me to pray according to your will that my prayers may be powerful and effective and will have a mighty impact upon someone’s life, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

May your joy be complete

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that  your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. John 15:9-12 Father God, I thank you for your amazing and unconditional love, I thank you for the joy and peace you have given me and for not giving up on me. May my joy overflow that I may be a living testimony for you, that others may see and will lead them to desire to partake of the same blessings I have received. May I live my life each day for you, O Lord, to serve, love, obey your commands and to love others unconditionally as you do, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

I will seek you with all my heart I will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness, your love, Lord, endures forever. May I humbly walk before you today, O God, and may I bring honor and glory to your name, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 Father God, I am so grateful to know you, to believe that this world is only temporary and to know that your kingdom is real. Help me seek your kingdom and your righteousness, O God, keep reminding me that if I do that, you will take care of everything else in my life and everything will work out for the best and according to your will, I pray in Jesus, name. Amen

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice

Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. Psalm 5:2-3 My King and my God, I thank you for another day of life, I thank you for your abundant blessings, your never-ending mercy and grace and for hearing my voice. I humbly come to you this morning to ask forgiveness of my sins, and to lay my request before you, O Lord, I put all my burdens and fears in your hands and ask that you will bring me peace as I wait expectantly on you, in Jesus' name I pray.

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways

Psalm 91:11-12 Loving Father in heaven, blessed be your Holy Name, you alone are my refuge, my place of safety; my God and Father, and I trust and love you with all my heart.  I ask that you command your angels to watch over me, O Lord, to guard my loved ones and keep them safe, put a hedge around us and protect us from all that would harm us; that we may live to serve, honor and give you praise,  I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
