You alone are the Lord

Blessed be your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise. You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you. Nehemiah 9:5-6 Blessed Lord in heaven, you are faithful, merciful and mighty, and I am thankful to know that everything is under your control and nothing formed against me shall stand when I surrender my life to you. Remind me to hold on to your promises and trust that you will always be by my side, O God, may your loving kindness and mercy be with me and may your Spirit fill my heart, with joy and peace, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

He makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image

For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.  So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord.  And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him  as we are changed into his glorious image.  2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Glorious Father in heaven, all of creation is a reflection of your amazing glory and love.  Remind me that anything that reflects hatred, violence, greed and envy is not from you.  Change  my  heart and spirit, O Lord, make me more and more like you each day  and change me into your glorious image . May  my  desire be to be a reflection of your love in all that I am and all that I do, 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 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

When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way

I cry aloud to the Lord;I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy. I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble. When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way. Psalm 142:1-3 Loving and merciful God in heaven, you are righteous and faithful in all your ways and I thank you for hearing my prayers, I thank you for being my refuge and help. When my spirit grows faint, fill me with your strength, show me the way I should go, O God, for to you I entrust my life, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:28-29 Heavenly Lord, we give you thanks for all that you do for us, for your promises, for your amazing power and your everlasting kingdom that cannot be shaken. Help me never to fall short of your loving grace and continue to walk with me and bless me, as I put all my faith in you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

I will magnify Him with Thanksgiving

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with Thanksgiving. Psalm 69:30 I give thanks to you, O God, for all of your wonderful blessings.Thank you for my life, my family, my health and well being. Thank you for one more day of life, Lord, another opportunity to serve you. Thank you for the freedom we share in this blessed country.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

The Lord is forgiving and good

You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. Hear my prayer, Lord; listen to my cry for mercy. When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me. Psalm 86:5-7 Almighty God in heaven, thank you for your abounding love, for hearing my prayers and answering them according to your will. Teach me your way, Oh Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; save your servant who trusts in you, bless and keep me under your loving care, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

I will rescue those who love me.I will protect those who trust in my name

The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. Psalm 91:14-15 Blessed Lord in heaven, thank you for your promises, your unfailing and unconditional love and for your protection.

May I commit everything into your mighty and loving hands that you may strengthen my soul, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

I can do all this through Christ who gives me strength.

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.  I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation,  whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.  I can do all this through Christ who gives me strength.  Philippians 4:12-13 Dear Jesus, I am so thankful that I always have you and your amazing love. I have so much to be thankful for each day I get to wake up and praise your name. You are my strength and my courage, O Lord, I thank you for being the author and finisher of my faith. I thank you for all the blessings in my life and ask that you continue to be with me, strengthen my faith and keep reminding me that I can do all things with you at my side, I pray in your Holy N ame, Amen

The Lord is my strength and my defense

​​The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 Lord, you are my God, my strength, my defense and salvation and I will praise you, I will exalt you and give you thanks for you are good and you are merciful, your love endures forever. Help me seek you with all my heart and walk an obedient life, O Lord, bless me, be my strength and my defense and do not let me stray away from you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Fight the good fight of the faith

Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:12 Blessed God, my Ruler, King of kings and Lord of lords, to you be honor and might forever. I thank you for calling me to be your child, I thank you for your loving kindness and mercy towards me, a sinner. Help me walk in your righteousness, O God, help me fight the good fight of faith and live without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, I pray in his holy name. Amen

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. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7 Thank you, Father God, for your promises, thank you for the peace that only you can give, O Lord, peace this world could never understand. 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.

Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them.Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all. For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

​For the word of God is alive and powerful

​For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Hebrews 4:12 Lord, your word is truly living and powerful, it penetrates our hearts and minds and it applies to us today as much as it did to your children thousands of years ago. Give me hunger for your Word, O God, give me wisdom and understanding that I may use it to bring hope to others and not as a weapon against them. May your wonderful, powerful and living word be a guiding light in my daily walk with you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
