PRAY WITH A CLEAN HEART

All our prayers are powerful because God doesn't look at the length of the pleas of our request. He doesn't look at our status in society but the motives of our hearts.

The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

Lord, let our prayers be acceptable to You and give grace, joy, and favor to Your people, so we can stand firm in the Word. We pray for peace and harmony based on Your great love for our Father. Lord, we understand that suffering produces perseverance, so strengthen our faith and help us overcome our unbelief in adversity. Lord, give us the courage to stand on Your Word with the Holy Spirit. So, walk us through this Valley of death, and thank You in advance for steering us around the obstacles ahead. Father, help us confess our sins and pray for each other so we may be healed. Lord, let the prayers of the righteous be powerful and effective in our lives as we mature in faith. Thank You, Lord, for wrestling in prayer that we may stand firm in Your will, matured and fully assured. In Jesus' name Amen

PRAY FOR LOVE IN HIS WORD

John 15:12: My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Luke 6:31: Do to others as you would have them do to you.

1 Corinthians 16:14  Do everything in love. Psalms 143:8 Let the morning bring us word of Your unfailing love, for we have put our trust in You. Show us the way we should go, for to You we entrust our lives.

Lord, let love and faithfulness never leave us; bind them around our necks, write them on the tablets of our hearts. Then we will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. (Proverbs 3:3-4) Father, help us. "Be completely humble and gentle; let us be patient, bearing with one another in love. (Ephesians 4:2.") So, Lord, direct our hearts into our Father's love and Your perseverance. (Thessalonians 3:5) Lord, place Yourself like a seal over our hearts, like a seal on our arms; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. (Song of songs 8:6) Please, let the love in our heart's for You Lord and others burn with that same blazing fire 🔥 and everything else in our lives will fall into place. In Jesus' name Amen

PRAY FOR OUR YOUNG MEN

Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.

Lord, teach our young men how to be the head and not the tail. Fill them with the Holy Spirit that empowers them to be the vessel and Kings they were created to be. Father, Your Word says, "Rejoice, O young man, in their youth, and let their hearts cheer you in the days of their youth. Walk in the ways of their hearts and the sight of their eyes. But know that God will bring them into judgment for all these things." So, Lord, we cover them from the top of their heads to the bottom of their feet with Your promise "Do not let them be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of their minds, that by testing them they may discern what Your will is, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Lord, hold their hands as they walk through a system designed against them and keep a hedge of protection around them. Thank You for Your mercy, grace, and favor for Your people 🙏 continue blessing them. Thank You for the Spiritual Soldiers around our youth to help guide and support them in this Valley of death. Thank You, Lord, for purchasing them with the Blood of Your own Son. You know the hearts of our young men. We pray that they would grow a desire in them that some would devote a life of service to Your purpose. Help them be honest and passionate worshipers that take hold of these desires and run with them. In Jesus' name, Amen.

LORD WE REBUKE ANGER

"Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense."

One second of anger could cause you a lifetime of grief. We all struggle with moments of rage when faced with annoyance or an overwhelming situation. But the good news is there are scriptures dealing with every part of our lives. So, rather than lashing out with harsh words and actions that only leave us feeling guilt and shame, we can stop and focus on Scripture for help. When we are angry, this is the time to practice what we have learned. When we study or focus on Scripture, the Holy Spirit intervenes in our situation and claims us.


Father, help us speak softly and turn away wrath. Lord, let not harsh words stir up anger and help us focus on what we have learned". Lord, when our tempers are stirred up, let us turn to the Holy Spirits that clam our atmosphere. Father, fill our hearts and minds with Your peace, so we will be slow to anger. Lord, help us take hold of Your promise that You will not forsake us. Whatever circumstances we face that produce anger in our hearts, remind us that You have not left our side, and You never will. So, right now, Lord, we release all our anger into Your care. You know our concerns; give us Your wisdom and the knowledge of how to implement You in our hearts instead of anger. In Jesus' name Amen

DON'T FEED IT KILL IT

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so you can stand up under it.

We can kill anything if we don't feed it. Don't feed anger by holding on to unforgiveness; kill it with the Word. Don't feed jealousy by allowing negative thoughts in; kill it with the Word. Don't feed gossip by carrying it to the next person. Kill it with silence and the Word. We have the power to kill anything in our lives that's not a part of Him.

Father, help us nourish our Spirit daily so it does not die. Lord, help us grow and mature into the new nature of Christ. Lord, let the Word penetrate our hearts and minds, so we do not gratify the desires of our flesh. Lord, let Your thoughts be our thoughts to help put to death our sinful nature. Let the love in our hearts for You kill hatred, jealousy, rage, addiction, adultery, envy, and unforgiveness; to give You room to move in our lives powerfully. Father, let the Spirit prune our Fruit of peace, patience, kindness,  goodness, generosity, and self-control. Lord, strengthen our faith, crucify our fear and doubts, and kill all that's not of You. In Jesus' name Amen

WE MUST PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS

"Choose some wise, understanding, and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will set them over you."


To choose someone wise, understanding, and respected, we must let our voices be heard. We can't wait until a leader is determined to speak up about our concerns; this is the only time you have to let your voice be heard.

Lord, we understand that you are All-powerful and the shepherd who protects us. But, You also put a government to govern and lead Your people. So, Lord, I ask You to intervene in what You put into place and lead us out of despair. Father, pull the wool off all those who harbor hate and malice in their hearts for others. Let Your wrath overcome their schemes against Your people and this dark world 🌎. Let, Your people come out in groups of thousands to select a leader with Integrity and love for all people. Father, help us understand that we must participate both 🙏 to make changes. So, let all the people called by Your name humble themselves and pray and seek Your face when we choose our leaders who have turned from their wicked ways and follow You.  In Jesus' name Amen

NOURISH THE SEED WITH THE WORD

No one born of God practices sin because His seed abides in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God.


God has planted a seed in our hearts where He dwells. We have to nourish that seed daily to grow and create new nature. Now, if we don't nourish it daily, weeds start to grow, the weeds of pride, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and hate. Therefore, we must stay connected to the Gardner because He constantly works to rid our hearts of those weeds.

Father, thank You for keeping us through the night, and thank You in advance for the hedge of protection You have around us today. Lord, we cover our children and their teachers with the Blood from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet. Keep them safe in their coming and going throughout this school year. Lord, help us nourish their seeds and teach them how to go. Lord, keep us still and drown out all the confusion around us, so we can hear Your voice. Lord, strengthen our faith and prayer life, so we will trust You during our troubles, Your peace will flourish, and the weeds die. Lord, don't let the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke us and make us unfruitful. Help us receive and nourish our seeds daily, so the roots of our seeds will grow deeper and help us not stumble and fall. Father, let the Word renew our minds and hearts daily to Your truth and align our hearts with Your wisdom and purpose. Lord, do not let us become complacent but give us an insatiable desire to grow in a new nature of love, kindness, humility, gentleness, faith, and grace. In Jesus' name Amen

PRAY

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 

Prayer is our conversation with God and how we can develop a personal, meaningful relationship with the Him. There is so much hate, envy, jealousy, pride, and stress in the world today that we can pray without ceasing. If you have children or a spouse that enough to keep you praying. We tend to pray more when we are weak or in need, which is good, but God wants to communicate with us daily, because we need renewal daily. So let me ask you have you prayed today if not pray with me. 

Father, we come to You today just because of Who You are and what You have already done. Lord, we thank You for Your wisdom and the knowledge to implement You in our daily lives. We thank You, for daily renewal through our prayer life and relationships with You. Thank You, for favor and keeping us safe through it all. Lord, help us develop a stronger pray life, that keeps us connected to You and on the path of righteousness. Lord, let our prayers open our hearts to You, so You can bring our hearts into alignment with Your purpose and plan. In Jesus name Amen
