God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, I give You praise and
glory!
I thank You,
Father for Your grace, as it provides enablement for every
thing within Your will and Your peace give serenity in every
kind of circumstance. Thank you Father, that faith puts me in
contact with the eternal spring of love in Yourself. And the
necessary consequence is that our hearts are drawn out in love
to all who belong to You.
I thank You
Father that You allow your saints to go through persecutions
and tribulations in order to develop in us the moral
excellencies which make us “worthy citizens” of Your kingdom. “…. Which is manifest evidence of the righteous
judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom
of God…” 2 The. 1:5
Father, I pray
that I will be worthy of Your calling, and that Your mighty
power will enable me to obey every impulse to do good, and to
accomplish every task undertaken in faith. I pray that I will
accurately represent my Lord Jesus to this world and thus
bring glory to His name. Then I too will be glorified in Him,
that my association with my Lord, my Head, will bring honor to
members of His Body. And I can do all according to the grace
of My God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Your Word says
to trust You for future courage and strength. You love us and,
You give us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace.
Your greatest exhibition of love to us was the gift of Your
Son. Hallelujah! I thank You for Your Son, my Lord Jesus
because I know that He settled the sin question at Calvary. We
(I) have eternal comfort now and the hope of a glorious
future---and it is all through His marvelous grace. Thank You,
Jesus!
Father, I pray
that You comfort the hearts of my Church family and establish
them in every good word and work. Not just encouragement in
the midst of distress; but strengthen them to move forward in
battle. May our lives be in order of teaching and doing,
doctrine and duty, preaching and practice, and that truth be
upon our lips. I pray we as the body of Christ stand behind
our pastor and pray for the dissemination of his message; for
the triumph of his message; for the preservation of his
message; and may the word of the Lord run swiftly through his
message.
I thank You
Father, that You are faithful. Faithful to confirm us to the
end; You are faithful to deliver us out of temptation; You are
faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from
all unrighteousness. Hallelujah! And, You are faithful to
establish and to guard us from the evil one. “Kept by the
power of God through faith….”
1 Peter 1:5
Father, my
prayer is that I will love others as You loved us and that I
will be steadfast as Christ is steadfast.
I thank You
for peace, for the world can not give it or take it away. We
must appropriate it in all the circumstances of life, peace is
not a cessation from persecution, but the calm of heart that
comes from faith in You, and is independent of circumstance.
I thank You
for the Comforter…. the Holy Spirit. I thank You that the Holy
Spirit helps me in my daily problems and in my prayers, for
when I don’t know how or what to pray, You, Holy Spirit prays
for us with such feeling that it cannot be expressed in words.
And You, Father knows our hearts, knows what the Spirit is
saying as He pleads for us in harmony of Your will.
Hallelujah!
Because You
Lord are my Shepherd, I have everything I need. You let me
rest in the meadow grass and You lead me beside the quiet
streams. You restore my failing health. You help me to do what
honors You the best. Even when walking through the dark valley
of death I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me,
guarding and guiding all the way.
Holy, holy,
holy, Lord God Almighty. The One who was, and is; and is to
come. Who lives forever and ever. The blessed and only
Almighty God, the King of kings and Lord of lords. I give You
Glory and honor for ever and ever. You are the King of the
ages, the unseen One who never dies, You alone are God, and
full of wisdom. Amen
