He will establish your plans

​​All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. The Lord works out everything to its proper end. Proverbs 16:2-4 Mighty and loving God in heaven, I know I can make all the plans I want, but without your help and blessings they will not succeed. I commit everything I do to you, O Lord, I ask that you bless me as I put my trust in you because I know everything will work out according to your holy will for me. Give me a pure and clean heart, lead me the way I should go and teach me your will, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

The LORD is gracious and compassionate

The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. Psalm 145:8-9 Mighty and loving Father in heaven, your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. I thank you for being compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love, O God, I ask that you change my heart and help me be the person you meant for me to be. May my actions speak louder than my words, may I be compassionate and loving to others as you are to me, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

​​Keep your lives free from the love of money

​​Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. Hebrews 13:5 Mighty and loving God, It is easy to get caught up in the pleasures of this world and to lose focus of what is truly important in life. Help me be content with what you already have given me, O Lord, help me focus on your heavenly treasures and promises.

May your faithfulness continue to be with us, through all generations, O Lord, may we continue receiving your mercy and grace as we praise your name and give you honor and glory in all we do, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen​

Harvest of righteousness

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness. James 3:17-18 Lord, I need your heavenly wisdom and your Holy Spirit, help me to be a peacemaker, loving and submissive in all occasions. Help me to sow peace, O God, that I may harvest righteousness and live as a child of the one true King, I pray in Jesus name. Amen

We are pressed on every side by troubles

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9   Thank you heavenly Lord for your protection and grace, thank you for being my rock and my strength in times of trouble, for letting me feel your presence and never feel abandoned. Though I may pass through hard times, I ask that your Spirit will lift me up, O God, that your wonderful Word will encourage me to keep going, to keep trusting in you and keep praising you and staying positive even through the storms of life, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit

Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise. You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise. Psalm 51:15-17 Loving Father in heaven, you are always close to the brokenhearted, have mercy on me according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion, wash away all my sins and keep me humble in your sight, O Lord. May you fill my heart with your peace as I humbly surrender my heart and will to you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father

May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins. Colossians 1:11-14   Thank you Lord for rescuing me from the kingdom of Darkness and transferring me to your beloved Son's eternal and everlasting kingdom. Thank you for forgiving my sins and loving me with your eternal love, O God, may I be Strengthened with all your glorious power that I may never drift away, but get closer to you every day and be filled with your joy, I pray in Jesus' name.

By prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God

The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Help me not to be anxious about anything, but trust that you are already at work in my life, to rejoice and be thankful for all that I have, all that you have done for me and all that you will still do for me, guard my heart and mine, I pray in Jesus' name.

Let us fear the Lord our God

“Let us fear the Lord our God, who gives autumn and spring rains in season, who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.” Jeremiah 5:24 Lord Almighty, you made the heavens and earth, and gave life to everything that lives, you are mighty and compassionate and always in control of everything. Thank you for meeting all our needs abundantly and for being our God, help us not to have stubborn and rebellious hearts, O Lord, but gentle, submissive and compassionate as yours, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Do not judge, and you will not be judged

​‘Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you.

Submit to God and be at peace with him

Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you. Accept instruction from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart.

Set a guard over my mouth, Lord

Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips. Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil.

Protect them from harm always, and give them wisdom to follow you and make the right choices as you make your ways known to them, I pray in Jesus' precious name. Amen.

Why do you worry?

​​Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? Luke 12:25 Merciful Lord, you are our righteous Savior and nothing is out of your control and I know that you already have a plan for my life. I ask you to please help me remember not to worry about anything because you are already at work, even if I cannot see it. Help me put all my worries and fears at your feet and fill me with your heavenly peace, O God, and remind me that you will fight all my battles for me and give me victory, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

The mind governed by the flesh is death

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. You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Romans 8:6-9 Lord, helps us to remember that you have given us victory over the flesh and that sin shall not have dominion over us. Don't let us walk in spiritual defeat, Father God, but give us the ability to fight the spiritual warfare within our hearts. May our minds be governed by your Spirit and be filled with life and peace as we submit to your will and live to please you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

I call to God and he saves me

As for me, I call to God, and the Lord saves me. Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress,and he hears my voice. He rescues me unharmed from the battle waged against me. Psalm 55:16-18 Blessed Lord in heaven, I thank you for hearing my prayers, I thank you for being so merciful to me and for saving me from my troubles. I humbly come to your throne of grace to ask that you will continue to watch over me, to watch over my loved ones who are in distress, who are hurting and who need you as much as I do, O God. May your loving hand be upon us today and every day, may you heal our wounds and broken hearts and may your angels watch over us as we put all our trust in you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
