May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command.  May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.  2 Thessalonians 3: 3-5 Almighty God in heaven, thank you for your promises and protection against all evil, thank you for loving me and taking care of all my needs. Strengthen me and fill me with your Spirit, O Lord, that I may be obedient to your will, guide each step I take, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

‘Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant

 ‘Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, Lord, look with favour on your desolate sanctuary.  Give ear, our God, and hear. Daniel 9:17-18 My God, you are a great and awesome God, and I thank you for all your blessings, I thank you for giving us hope and abundant love. Lord, I do not make requests of you because I am righteous, but because of your great mercy. Forgive our sins, have mercy on us and hear the prayers and petitions of our hearts, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

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

knock, and it will be opened to you

Ask, and it will be given to you seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8 Father in heaven, thank you for hearing me when I call, thank you for opening the door and giving me the opportunity to enter your kingdom. Help me walk in obedience and do your will, O Lord, help me seek heavenly treasures and put all my trust in you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father encourage your hearts and strengthen you

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word. 2 Thessalonians 2 :16-17 You are my greatest encourager, Father God, and I am so thankful to have you in my life and thankful for the hope you have given me in your Son, Jesus, my Savior.  Please continue to strengthen my heart, guide me and fill me with your amazing and everlasting love, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

We know that we are children of God

We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.  1 John 5:19-20 Merciful and loving Father, giver of life, thank you for sending us your Son to bring us understanding and knowledge of the truth. Keep my eyes focused on you, O God, keep reminding me there is something greater waiting for me and though the evil one has control of this world, he doesn't have control over me because I am your child, I pray in your wonderful Son Jesus' name. Amen

If we ask anything according to his will, he hears us

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him. 1 John 5:13-15 Father in heaven, I am so thankful that I can be at peace knowing that you are in control of everything and that you have a great plan and purpose for my life. Keep reminding me of this each and every day, Father, and thank you for hearing my prayers and answering them according to your will, in Jesus' name I pray. Amen
