Grace, Peace & Love

 

To God of our Lord Jesus Christ, and Father of all glory, You are Jehovah God, and it is to You, I call upon.

 

Father, I pray for a fresh supply of Your grace and peace in the midst of this turbulent society. As You look down on this world, this nation, I pray for revival. Lord, forgive this nation our sins and revive Your saints who have backslidden. Revive us, O Lord with the power of Your Holy Spirit. Father, I also pray for revival for my church. Bind my church, Lord with cords of love and unite us together to be in one accord for You. I thank You, Lord for revival and for what You are about to do for my church.

 

Abba Father, I give You all praise, honor and glory for my salvation. Thank You for giving me living hope. The living hope of knowing You will take me home to heaven to be with You forever. Hallelujah!

 

Father, I thank You for this peace I have that surpasses all understanding. Although, I have never seen You with my eyes, I love You. I have walked the other side of the road, Lord, I had no peace, no happiness, I only had unhappiness, sickness and suicidal thought’s. But praise Your Holy Name, You never let me forget, I was Yours. You delivered me out of the bondage of Satan, into the joy, peace and righteousness of my Lord. You revived me again. I praise, glorify and magnify Your Holy Name!

 

I know You have a plan for me, Lord. What that plan is, You have not fully revealed to me as yet, so I pray, Father that Your purpose for my life be revealed to me in its fullness. I surrender Lord, spirit, soul, and body into Your service. I am Your willing vessel on this earth.

 

Father, as this is the season for early rains, I pray to You, Father standing in the gap for our farmers, for a gentle rain to fall on our crops, in Jesus name.  Father, in Joel 2:23 Your word says, “Be glad then, You children of Zion and rejoice in the Lord Your God; for He has given you the former rain faithfully, and he will cause the rain to come down for you - - the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month, the threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. I (we) give You the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving for the early rains and the latter rains, You will provide for us, as You are the God, El Shaddai, the God Almighty of Blessings. I magnify You, Lord and exalt You Holy Name. Forever, O Lord, Your Word is settled in heaven.

 

Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless Your Holy Name. I adore You and make known to You, my adoration and love this day. Father, I thank You for all Your blessings upon my household and for our farmers, for Your love and answers to our prayers. I thank You, for Your anointing, Lord and pray for a fresh anointing daily,

 

Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray that You grant to me that with all boldness, I speak forth Your word. I pray that freedom of utterance be given me, that I may open my mouth to proclaim boldly the mystery of the good news of Your Word, and that I may declare it boldly. Father, take all timidity and fear from me to step out in faith knowing that the indwelling Holy Spirit will take control.

 

Father, I pray for a sober, girded and obedient mind to rest fully upon Your grace and to pattern my life after Christ Jesus. Your word says, “Be holy, for I am Holy”. O Lord, crucify the flesh in me and take all worldly desire from me to keep me loyal to my Lord Jesus .

 

Father, Your Word has commanded us to love one another fervently with a pure heart. Father, I thank You that the love of God has been poured forth into my heart by the Holy Spirit who indwells me. Everywhere I go, Father, I will plant seeds of love. Father, I thank You for preparing hearts ahead of time to receive this love You have poured into me. I know that these seeds of love will produce Your love in the hearts to whom it is given. Thank You, Father for blessing me with so much love to give to others.

 

Father, Your word says, “by the pure milk of the word, a believer grows spiritually,” Help me, O Lord to strive to be more like my Lord Jesus. Put a strong desire in my heart to read and listen to Your word daily. Father, I dread the thought of ever thinking of wondering away from You, so hold tight to my hand, O God. I want to keep that sweet taste of Your nearness forever, O Lord.

 

I praise You and thank You, Lord Jesus for accepting my sacrifice of praise, honor and glory and then You remove the stain of sin by the time it reaches the Father. Thank You, Jesus for being my Mediator, my High Priest. Hallelujah!

 

Amen
