I am the resurrection and the Life

I am the resurrection and the Life  The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25 Thank you Lord in heaven for delivering us from the domain of darkness, for giving up your throne in heaven and the price you paid on the cross for our sins. Fill us with your love and your Holy Spirit that we may walk in your ways. Fill us with your Holy Spirit, with more of you, O Lord, fill us with compassion and love for the lost, that we may share the great gift of eternal life with them, I pray in your Holy Name. Amen

By his wounds you have been healed

  He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2:24 My most loving, kind and merciful Lord, thank you for bearing my sins on the cross, thank you for loving me so much that you gave your life as a living sacrifice. I know that nothing I will ever go through can compare to the price you paid at Calvary, O Lord Jesus, help me to discern your will for my life, to live in righteousness in your presence, and share the good news of your kingdom with others that they too will have the joy of your salvation, I pray in your precious name. Amen 

God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

  For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8 Lord, I will never be able to fully understand the amazing sacrifice on the cross, but I do cherish and appreciate it. I know that I will never be worthy of your love, but I am grateful to have it. Bless me, O God, strengthen me and keep reminding me of your amazing love daily, may my ways be blameless before man and before you, may my ways and thoughts be pure, not only obeying your will, but believing and trusting you always, I pray in Jesus' my Lord and your precious Son's name. Amen

let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us

  And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Hebrews 12:1-3 Thank you Jesus, for enduring the cross that I may have eternal life, thank you for your amazing sacrifice. Help me keep my eyes focused on you no matter what happens in my life. Help me not to grow weary and lose heart, but keep faithful and persevere the race before me, I pray. Amen

May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ

  May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it. Thessalonians 5:23-24  God of peace, merciful, kind and faithful, Father,  I thank you for being my God, for loving me so much. I ask that you sanctify me, O Lord, I ask that you keep me blameless in your sight, and help me walk the path of righteousness that leads to your eternal kingdom, I pray in Jesus' name.  Amen 

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God

  So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. Hebrews 4:16 Gracious and loving Father in heaven, you are faithful, just and loving and I thank you for loving us unconditionally and being patient with us. I come boldly to your throne of grace today, O Lord, to ask for your blessings, for your forgiveness, mercy and grace. I ask that you will fill me with your peace, strengthen my spirit and walk with me through the difficult trials of life. May I feel your loving arms around me as I lay all my burdens at your feet and trust in you with all my heart regardless of my present circumstances, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Every good and perfect gift is from above

  Every good and perfect gift is from above,  coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,  who does not change like shifting shadows.  James   1 : 17 Father God, you are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and I am so thankful you are my God.  I want to glorify you in all I do and not take your loving kindness for granted, give me a thankful and grateful heart to appreciate  every blessing you have given me, O Lord, to remember that every good and perfect gift comes from you.  May my heart always overflow with gratitude and may my actions reflect the love I have for you, I pray in Jesus’ name.  Amen

Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us

  Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare. Psalm 40:5-6 Father God, I thank you for your amazing love and blessings, I thank you for your protection and your promises, and for everything that you have done and planned for me. Fill me with the desire to do your will, Oh God; to stand firm in faith and trust in you and your plans for my future. May my heart be filled with your joy, love and compassion as I walk humbly before you each day, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever

  All people are like grass,  and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;  the grass withers and the flowers fall,  but the word of the Lord endures forever. 1 Peter 1:24-25 Thank you merciful Lord for loving me so much and teaching me what is important in life, that it is not looks, or our earthly treasures,  but who we really are and our attitudes and relationship with you that matters.  Keep reminding me this world is temporary, O God, and everything in it will be gone one day,  but your living and enduring word and promises will endure forever, I pray in Jesus' name.  Amen

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world

  For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 Merciful Lord, thank you for your word and promises, you have full power and authority over everything and nothing is too big for you to handle. Help me demolish any strongholds in my life, O God, equip me for battle against any spiritual forces, Keep reminding me to fight every battle I face on my knees and leave all at your throne of grace, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 Merciful and loving Father in heaven, there is no end to your amazing grace and unconditional love. Thank you for reminding me that I have been saved through faith, not because of what I say or do, but because it is your gift of salvation through your Son, Jesus, to all those who believe. Cover me with your love, O God, stir in me a fire that the world cannot explain and may my works be done only in gratitude and to bring honor and glory to you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

If God is for us, who can be against us?

  If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Romans 8:31-32 Gracious Father in heaven, I could never understand your amazing love for me, a sinner, but I am so grateful to have it and so grateful to be your child. Thank you for reminding me that with you at my side I can do all things because you are always ready to hear my prayers and supplications and answer them according to your will. Help me, O God, to walk in righteousness and be the person you meant for me to be, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name

  Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. Isaiah 40:26 LORD Almighty, you are enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth.  You have made heaven and earth and everything that is in it, and yet, you care for each and every one of your children.    You know our fears, our struggles, our pain and our broken hearts, and you hear our cry, our prayers and supplications because you are our God, our Father,  our refuge and strength, O God, you know us each by name and love us with unconditional love.  Please continue to walk with us, bless us, fill us with your spirit and overwhelm our hearts with your joy and peace, I pray in Jesus' name.  Amen

God is light

This is the message we have heard  from him and declare to you:  God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.  1   John   1 : 5   Loving Father in heaven, you are faithful and just, you forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. May your Word be a lamp unto my feet, O God, that I may not walk in darkness,   but be filled with the light of your glory, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen​

Give careful thought to the paths for your feet

  Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil. Proverbs 4:26-27 Father God, thank you Father for your word and for your instruction, you give knowledge and understanding to those who walk uprightly; you guard their paths and preserve their way. Direct my steps, O Lord, let my ear be inclined to hear your voice, and correct me when I have gone astray. Give me knowledge and understanding that my steps will not be hindered and I will not stumble, but walk in the path of righteousness I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

But seek ye first the kingdom of God

  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Matthew 6:33-34 Mighty Lord, you have been so good to me, a sinner, I know I don't deserve you, but I thank you for never ending love. I thank you for reminding me to seek your kingdom first in all I do, and all things will be added in my life and not to worry about tomorrow. Thank you for knowing what is best for me and my life, O God, fill me with your Holy Spirit as I surrender all to you, Father. Give me the desire to seek you daily with my whole heart and be the person you meant for me to be, help me be yours, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Send me your light and your faithful care

  Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. Psalms 43:3 Merciful Father in heaven, light my path, teach me your way, lead me in the straight path that leads to your throne of grace. Help me be your sunbeam that others may know you and see you through in me, O God. Walk with me and keep me in your faithful care as I put my trust in you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective

  Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 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 5:13-16 Father God, thank you for the privilege you have given us in prayer, thank you for your promises of hearing our prayers and answering them according to your will. Help me remember that just because I don't get the results I want, does not mean you did not hear my prayer, O Lord. Help me remember that you are in control and know what is best for me, even when I don't understand, I pray, in Jesus' name. Amen
