LET US PRAY

Ephesians 5:29 For no one has ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and tenderly cares for it, as the Messiah does the church.

Lord, we pray for ourselves, let Your thoughts be our thoughts as we come to the altar in prayer 🙏. Lord, let the words of our mouths and meditation of our hearts be acceptable to You.  Father, we ask You to tame our tongues, so we are not brought to justice for what we say. Lord, utter for us, when we know not what to say, and order our steps in Your will. Father, right now, we ask You to reveal and remove all the toxic people around us. Lord, let them not devour us, but let them fall in their own traps. Father, let those that come to bring; division be removed from our lives. Lord, let all demonic Spirits around us be cast into the fires and destroyed, along with our generation's curses, right now, in the name of Jesus. Father, pull the wool off all those around us waiting for our downfalls, even family or friends. Lord, let every lesson be a stepping stone to Your wisdom and our blessings. Father, right now, we pray that everyone in the sound of our voices is filled with joy, happiness, and peace. We pray that whatever journey they're on, whatever storm they're coming through, they stand on Your Word. Lord, let everyone they meet along the way see their full potential and help them serve Your purpose. Father, we can't do this ourselves, so hold our hands and lead us beside the still waters, give us Your wisdom and the knowledge to implement You in our daily lives. In Jesus name Amen

WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS

• Smallpox

• Cholera

• Scarlet fever

• Typhoid Mary

• Diphtheria

• Polio

• H2N2

• Measles

• Crypto

• 2009 H1N1

• Whooping cough

• COVID-19


2 Chronicles 7:13–14, It’s sometimes hard to imagine our loving and merciful God displaying such wrath and anger toward His people. But God’s punishments always have the goal of repentance and restoration. 

Father, we all have some responsibility for our present suffering. So help us understand the causes of these catastrophes to be avoided in the future. Lord, we thank You for Your mercy, grace, and favor through them all, and let us help those suffering the consequences of these diseases. Lord, Your Word foretold that pestilences, widespread diseases, including pandemics, would occur; and they will not be divine retribution or punishment from God. So, Lord, cover us with the Blood, so man-made diseases will not harm us. Father, these diseases have left millions grieving, the loss of someone they loved, someone who cared for them, who they laughed with and cried with. Lord, we pray for those left behind, full of sorrow and grief. May they cast their cares and pains on You.  Father, we have many issues facing this world and Your people today. Not only is the pandemic making every aspect of our lives more difficult, but also profound social injustices and hate continue to impact so many people. Help us recognize the pernicious effects of the income gap between the rich and the poor, the lack of adequate health care coverage, hunger, racial injustices. And gun violence. LORD, we ask You to intervene right now in the name of Jesus. Help us unite, like never before, to bring peace, unity, and love to the people and this world. God, You see us, and You hear us. Father, through our masks, You see our smiles or frowns. Lord, we know through our masks, You listen to us when we whisper our prayers. In Jesus name Amen

JEALOUSY IS A DISTRACTION

There has been a time when we were jealous of someone's success. Like when your neighbor getting a new car or your friend closed on their house before you. Even though this seems minor, these types of fleshly feelings; can hinder our relationship with God and our witness. Because, jealousy will take our focus off, God and fix our focus on man, which is a distraction.

But, we can have victory over jealousy, by remembering, God's promise "to give us the desires of our hearts."  So, rejoice in other people's blessings. Because being jealous of someone else blessings, is telling God; "we think we deserve it more and this puts us under divine judgment.

Lord, thank You, for keeping us through another night, and thank You, in advance for the hedge of protection around our family, friends, and ourselves, today. Father, we trust in You and we stand on Your faithfulness, to give us our hearts desires. So, let not the emotion of jealousy of someone else's success, overcome us.  But, let the Spirit of happiness, bring forward a righteous attitude, so we do not fret and bring harm to ourselves. Lord, when situations stir up the ugly sin of jealousy in us, let us confess it to You. Help us remember, that we are in disagreement with You when we get jealousy of other people, blessings. So, Lord, we thank You, for what You are doing in other people's lives, even our enemies. Lord, fill with love for everyone, and let not jealousy stir up Malice and hate in our hearts. Instead, Jesus, let us rejoice when others receive Your blessings. In Jesus name Amen 

THERE'S A PURPOSE FOR OUR PAIN

God will use pain to reveal the truth to us. Things like betraying a friend, cheating on a spouse, and sometimes sickness. But, He will also give us the strength to endure the pain. We will all experience pain in our life, whether emotional or physical, and sometimes pain redirects us. But, God also promises "that there is a purpose in all pain."

Job 6:10 "At least I can take comfort in this: Despite the pain, I have not denied the words of the Holy One."

Father, You always know exactly where we are in our journey and what it takes to get our attention. So, help us stay focused and alert to the danger around us. Lord, hold our hands as we walk through this Valley of death and surround us with Spiritual Soldiers; that will help keep the fiery arrows of our enemies from harming us. Search our hearts and minds and remove all that is not of You. Lord, free us from generation curses 🤬 and remove every demonic Spirit around us. Lord, strengthen our faith and help us overcome our unbelief, so You can use us. Lord, we know You want the best for us. So, give us, Your guidance and help us follow Your plan for our lives. Thank You for teaching us how to forgive; continue working in and through us. Lord, we thank You for the hedge of protection around our children, our children's children, and ourselves. Lord, we thank You for providing our needs and shelter to keep us warm, and we pray for comfort for those outside and homeless. Lord, thank You for this new day and being in our right minds 🙏 and bless those called home. Lord, give us the courage and commitment of Job and help us understand the purpose of our pain, in Jesus' name Amen.

FREE YOURSELVES FROM THOSE THAT:

Romans 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them.

Stay away from people that like to bad-mouth others. Those that dishonor our Father and those that plot evil against God's people.  Those that are arrogant and self paraders. Those that are devisers of wickedness. Those that disrespect their parents and authority figures.  Especially those without a conscience, those that break promises, friendships, agreements, or contracts whenever it serves their purpose.  Those that are unloving, unforgiving, or unmerciful, because they will do the same to you.

Father, let us not set in the council of the unrighteous, but, surround us with Spiritual Soldiers.  Lord, let not our personal sins alienate us from You. So, search our hearts and remove every obstacle that keeps us from sitting at Your feet.  Let us, not join those who are unjust, greedy, jealous of others, and full of strife.  Father, we pray for the persecuted, of those responsible for the unlawful killing of another and stealing the innocent of our children. Father, steer us clear of those with hearts full of deceit and those that are double-minded.  Lord, close our ears to gossip and those that bad mouth others, trying to make themselves, look good.  Father, let us not go lacking in moral and spiritual discernment or become untrustworthy.  So, prune our Fruit and strengthen our faith 🙏 help us become more like Christ; loving, merciful, and forgiving. So You can use us as Your vessel, to serve Your purpose, In Jesus name Amen

LET'S PRAY FOR THOSE DEALING WITH DEPRESSION

Father, life has become such a struggle, and some of us find that our faith is being challenged, but we must remember that, You are there with us and that You would never leave us, especially when we are depressed. Please, Lord, help us focus and let Your thoughts become our thoughts; every time depression tries to descend upon us. Please bring to mind the Scriptures that tell of Your love and grace. Lord, when doubts of Your love for us rise, help us feel Your presence around us and in our hearts. Lord, let not the negative thoughts of suicide enter our minds; help us remember how You love us and that You died to save us, in Jesus' name. Amen. 

Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. It affects how you feel, think, and behave and can lead to various emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel like life isn't worth living. There is more than one type of depression 1-800-662-HELP (4357)

Some signs of depression
• A depressed mood most of the day (feeling sad, empty, hopeless, or on the verge of tears) of tears)

• Loss of interest or pleasure in activities you once enjoyed
• Difficulty sleeping
•  Lack of concentration
• Thoughts of death or suicide

It's important to know that antidepressants may increase suicidal thoughts or actions in some children, teenagers, or young adults within the first few months of treatment. Pay close attention to any changes, especially sudden changes in mood, behaviors, thoughts, or feelings, and report such changes to the healthcare provider. Always read the side effects of medications 💊🙄


WHEN WE KNOW NOT WHAT TO SAY

When you feel a loss for what to say or how to say it. There’s no better prayer guide than the Word. Here are two awesome prayers

“In my distress, I called to the Lord, and he answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and you listened to my cry. You hurled me into the depths, into the very heart of the seas, and the currents swirled about me; all your waves and breakers swept over me. I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight, yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’ The engulfing waters threatened me, the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head. To the roots of the mountains, I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever. But you, Lord my God, brought my life up from the pit."

Or
Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, ‘Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain

GIVE AND GOD WILL GIVE TO YOU

I'm not asking you to carry me, just give me a hand. God said

"If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, but you shall open your hand to him and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be. Take care lest there be an unworthy thought in your heart and you say, ‘The seventh year, the year of release is near,’ and your eye look grudgingly on your poor brother, and you give him nothing, and he cries to the Lord against you, and you be guilty of sin. You shall give to him freely, and your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because for this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake. For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’

OUTWARD APPEARANCE OR TRUE BELIEVER

 2 Corinthians 12:13-15 for such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds 

Some people are good at outward Christian display because they have not been truly born again, through faith. Many professed to believe in the Lord, but He knows when our faith is not genuine and eventually others will too.  

Father, let us not be like those that profess to know You, but they deny You, by their actions. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit, and filled with hate, pride, and darkness.  Lord, give us eyes that see the false prophets, who come to us in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. Lord help us avoid those who have the appearance of godliness but deny, all Your commandments. Lord, no one knows our hearts, better than You, so search our hearts and remove all that is not of You. To give You room to move in a mighty way and help us serve our purpose. So, give us a strong desire for Your Word, so the Holy Spirit can give us Spiritual wisdom and knowledge of how to implement You, in our daily lives. In Jesus name Amen

DON'T LET PRIDE BE YOUR DOWN FALL

To those that think too highly of themselves, God HATES human pride. "God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. The Word put pride among four things that God hates: "I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech." Says the Lord.


Father, we come to You, now asking You, to remove all those around us: that think too highly of themselves, those with lying tongues; those whose hands have shed innocent blood; those who have feet that are swift to run with evil, and especially those that devises wicked plans, against Your people. Lord, let them all reap what they sow, sooner than later.  Lord, search our hearts and minds and remove all pride that hinders You from using us for Your purpose.  Father, help us release ourselves, to give You room to move in our lives. Lord, help us understand, "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom." LORD, let us detests proud of heart, the same as You, and let not, their pride go unpunished. Father, let us not be like those who insist on being right about everything and alienate family and friends.  Father, let not our insecurities, fears, and unworthiness be the root of pridefulness, in Jesus name Amen

CHANGE YOUR MINDSET

Mind your thoughts. "As we think, we change the physical nature of our brain. As we consciously direct our thinking, we can wire out toxic patterns of thinking and replace them with healthy thoughts." "Paul's words aren't new. "Change our mind" is the central theme of Jesus' first sermon."

Romans 12:3 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what the will of God is, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Father, let us not copy the behavior and customs of this world but let Your Word transform us into a new mindset by changing the way we think. So, we can receive Your, Son, and get to know Your will for us. Lord, help us live good and righteous lives, pleasing to You and in perfect peace. Lord, let Your thoughts be our thoughts to help change the way we think and our perspective, which changes how we act in this world. Lord, use our minds, like You did Abraham, so we can use the power of our minds and see the world like Christ. So our beliefs will align with Your purpose and Your promise. Lord, strengthen us where we are weak, heal us mentally, emotionally, physically, and Spiritually, to prepare us for what's to come. Lord, reveal the darkness around us by shining Your light that will fix it. In Jesus name Amen

LET'S PRAY FOR EACH OTHER

Romans 8:26 & 27 Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.


Father, we petition, You on behalf of all the people who need prayer. Lord, we come on one accord, asking You to hear our cries and Intercede for us in this darkness. Lord, we pray for healing Spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically, right now in the name of Jesus.

Lord, let us reap what we sow, so help us practice what we have learned and do good unto others. We give You, those filled with grief, Lord, provide them with comfort and peace through their healing process.

LEARN TO BREATHE SO WE ARE NOT QUICK TO ANGER

 "Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil." Because "Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly." 

 Father, help us refrain from anger and keep our focus on You? Lord, let us not constantly worry or be anxious about nothing, so we do not get tired of doing good because worry tends only to evil." "But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, God slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness." So, let us be slow to anger, so we will have excellent understanding at all times. Have mercy on us, Lord, when we are tempted and weak, Lord, please take away our fears and doubts and heal our Souls. Father, fill us with Your love and understanding by allowing us to only hear the Truth; that fills our hearts with the Holy Spirit and Spiritually change us. So, let our iniquities depart from us and hear our crystal and receive our prayers. Father, thank You for the Guardian Angels You assigned us that keep the 🔥 arrows of our enemies from harming us. Continue to keep Your hedge of protection around our children and our children's children. Lord, pull the wool of the demonic Spirits around us and let our enemies be ashamed. Lord, we come together on one accord asking You to teach us how to breathe and be slow to anger because one minute of anger could cost us a lifetime of grief. So, open our hearts and minds to give You room to move, in Jesus' name Amen.

HOW GREAT YOU ARE

 Jeremiah 20:13 We proclaim how great You are and tell of the beautiful things You have done. Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD! He rescues the oppressed from the power of evil people. Ephesians 1:6 let us praise God for His glorious grace, for the free gift He gave us in His dear Son.

We have all experienced pain or hurt at some point in our lives; how did we handle it? Did it make us bitter or better? Everything that God allows in our lives prepares us for His purpose and work! The friend that betrayed us or that lie they told on us! The breakup that was not meant to be or getting fired from your job!   But, when the smoke clears from all the confusion, we look back over our lives. We are reminded of how God brought us through so many times before. So, why is it so hard to trust and seek Him in everything we do? Everything God allows to happen is designed for our good. So, be still, wait, listen 🎶 and Trust Him

Father, let us not be discouraged during suffering because suffering helps us grow in grace. So, we come before You, who gives us Salvation through our excepting Christ as our Savior to praise You in Your great glory. Thank You for keeping us through the night; thank You for your employment and the means of financial support and help. Thank You for  Shelter, clean water, food, and the small things that so many of us take for granted. Thank You for touching our hearts and filling them with the things of the Spirit. Father, let the Word cleanse our hearts and minds to give You room to move in and through us. Lord, come live in our hearts through our faith, so we can develop our Fruit of love. The love that gives us the power to understand how great we are through Christ and the love He has for us. Lord, we surrender all to You, so the Father can do great and unimaginable things through us, in Jesus' name Amen.

BODY SOUL AND SPIRIT (ALL)

Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.


We all consist of body, soul, and spirit. Our Souls bring to life our senses, desires, affections, and appetites. And our Spirits dwells in our hearts and that's the part of us that connects or refuses to connect, with God. Now the body is evident, but our Souls and Spirits are canceled, except to God.

Lord, we present our bodies to You as a living sacrifice, please make us Holy and acceptable to ours, Father.  Lord, let us not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds.  Father, let our studies reveal Your will for us, so we will know what is good and acceptable to You. Lord, You are the reason for who and what we have become, so let us not,, think too highly of ourselves.  Father, give us eyes that see, so we will have sober judgment, according to the measure of faith that You, have assigned us.  So, help us love You with all our minds, bodies, hearts, and Souls, and may Your peace; sanctify us completely. So, we may be preserved blameless at the second coming, in Jesus name Amen

LORD BRING US OUT OF THE DARKNESS

1 John 4:1 ESV Beloved, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Some people have dark Spirits, regardless of how much light is shining on them.

Father, let this dark atmosphere around us be sent back from which it came and give those around it eyes that see. 👀.  Lord, let the darkness be brought to light, right now in the name of Jesus.  Lord, there's so much sickness, death, hardship, and pain, let those that try to profit from this suffering for their evil 😈 schemes.  Lord, reveal what's truly in their hearts before we are caught in the snares.  Lord, keep us focused on You, so the brokenness of this world do not break us.  Please, baptize us in the Holy Spirit and surround us with Spiritual Soldiers, who will help us through; this Valley of death and help keep us on the path of righteousness.  Lord, let Your thoughts be our thoughts, so the words of our mouths will be acceptable in Your sight, our Lord, strength, and redeemer.  Lord, thank You for the hedge of protection around us that keeps the fiery arrows of our enemies from harming us.  Lord, thank You for allowing good to overcome evil and turning it all around in our favor, although we too are not worthy.  Lord, we have enough chaos and confusion in the world 🌎 in which we live, and we know we will have to endure suffering.  So, fill us with the things of the Spirit that brings peace through it all, in Jesus name Amen

PRACTICE THE TRUTH

Matthew 15:3-4  But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

We must be careful not to get caught up in religious rituals, customs, or laws, to avoid not receiving the Truth. God tells us to care for our parents, not put them in a nursing home when they get old. Coming up with traditions or methods to avoid our responsibilities of His will, doesn't make it right. Remember, "just because things have been done a certain way for a while, does not mean God changed His mind about it" God gave us free will, and we have developed a fondness for tradition and ceremonies, which is ok. Unless it replaces the true meaning of the Word 

Lord, each of us will have to bear our sinful load. We who have been taught the Word must share all good things with those who don't know. So, let us not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever we sow will also reap. Those who sow to their own flesh will reap corruption and destruction from the flesh. But, the one who sows to the Spirit will reap Christ-like character and eternal life from the Spirit. So, let us not grow weary of doing good, for, in the due season, we will reap if we do not give up. Father, the Word tells us, "Not everyone who says to You, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of our Father, who is in heaven. So, give us, Your strength and courage to serve in Your will and not our own. Lord, on the day You return, many will say to You, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and cast out demons in Your name, and do many mighty works in Your name?' And You will declare to them, 'You never knew them; so, depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness. Lord, let our name be in the Book, help us practice what we have learned, so it will manifest in our lives, so You can recognize us by sight, in Jesus' name Amen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT WORK

Romans 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!  Acts 18 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth.”


The first step: receive Him as our Savior.  Then we need to know Him and His will for us.  What are the required steps we take to get to know Him and His will for us? We need to know His commandments to obey them and we achieve this through study, prayer, worship, and praise.  We can't obey what we do not understand, so we must become familiar with the Word to have a relationship with Him. 
The Second step: we have to practice what we have learned, to develop Fruit and Christ-like character.  This will give us power, through the Holy Spirit and our faith, so the promise will manifest, in our lives.

Father, we thank You, for keeping us through another night and thank You, in advance for Your hedge of protection around us today. Lord, it takes commitment and courage to obey You, so fill us with Your courage and commitment. To give up what we like, to do for Your will.  Lord, give us wisdom on how to rearrange our lives, to match Your plans for us and knowledge of how to love the unlovable, to forgive those that wronged us, and to give what we want to keep to others. So, we can share the love of Christ with everyone, in hope that they too come into a relationship with Him and be prepared to walk 🚶‍♂️through this Valley of death and fear no evil.  Father, let our studies of Your Word be daily, as well as our prayers, so, we will draw nearer to Thee. So, we can have peace, through our day to day struggles, In Jesus name Amen

Psa 69:22-28 Imprecatory prayer

Some claim that imprecatory prayers represent a sinful desire for revenge, and we should not copy them in our hearts. But, we know there is a time for everything under the Sun, with the correct application. For example, we hear Jesus praying to punish a nation that condemned Him, but He also prayed, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." Now some would say there is a conflict between the two prayers.  But, it's not; if we repent, we will be forgiven; if not, we will suffer His wrath. 

When a person unknowingly harms us, it is one thing.  But to intentionally bring harm or chaos to someone's life; because of our pride, envy, jealousy, or hate. This prayer is for you.

Lord, let our enemies and undercover haters, disguised as friends; get caught in their own snares; and when they are at peace, let it become a trap. Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see the obstacles and make their loins tremble continually. Pour out Your indignation upon them, and let Your burning anger overtake them. May their camp be a desolation; let no one dwell in their tents. For they persecute him whom You have struck down, and they recount the pain of those You have wounded.  Add to them punishment upon punishment; may they have no acquittal from You. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; let them not be enrolled among the righteous. In Jesus name, Amen 🙏

WISDOM

Proverbs 3:15Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her." 

Wisdom is the ability to see life from God's perspective and know the best course of action to take. Most people would agree that wisdom is a valuable asset, but how can we acquire it? Proverbs 9:10 teaches that the fear of the Lord (respect and honor) is the beginning of wisdom. Wisdom comes from knowing and trusting God; it is not merely the way to find God. Knowing God will lead to understanding and then sharing this knowledge with others.

Lord, thank You for another day in our right minds and Thank You in advance for Your hedge of protection around us today. Thank You for Your wisdom, which is better than gold, and it unlocks the insight for our Spiritual journey. Father, let our studies bring understanding from above, wisdom that is pure, peaceful, gentle, and open to reason. Lord, fill our hearts with wisdom and the knowledge of how to implement, You in our lives. Because it's not always easy for us to see and sense the direction we need to take. So, we trust You to lead us to the blessings and opportunities, You have prepared for us. Lord, we ask for wisdom to help us make sense of the options and obstacles that lay before us. Lord, let the Spirit of wisdom help us see our path and make the right choices today. In Jesus' name Amen.
