Heavenly Father, praise Your name for the Lord Jesus Christ Who is the Word of life. Thank You that in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. How wonderful that John saw the Lord Jesus with his own eyes, lived with Him, and learned from Him. I am looking forward to that glorious day when I too will see Jesus, face to face. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the witness and testimony of Your holy apostles and prophets who were faithful to the truth that they received and through whom I have come to a saving knowledge that Christ is the Messiah of Israel and Saviour of the world. Thank You that I too may enjoy sweet fellowship with You. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I praise and thank You for Jesus. I glory in His name and praise You for the good news of the glorious gospel of grace, for the forgiveness of sin, for freedom from the bondage of Satan, for fellowship with the Father, and for life everlasting. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that the joy of the Lord is my strength. Thank You for the Gospel and the epistles of John and the amazing truth they contain about the Person and work of Christ. Thank You that the joy of the Lord is mine by faith in Him. Overflow my heart with Your boundless love and joy as I lift up Jesus, the Lord of my life, the Light of my soul, and the joy of my heart. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, that the light of Jesus has shone into my heart, for I have trusted Him alone as my Saviour and Lord. May the light of Your love shine through me, until it is not I that shines in my life, but the light of Christ shining through me. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father I desire to keep in sweet communion with You and not to flirt with the agents of darkness. There are times that my heart has been divided and I know that darkness and light cannot walk together. Keep me close to You and help me to fly to You and confess my sin the moment I start to stray, so that sweet fellowship with You is quickly restored. Father, I want to learn to practice the truth today, so that I may grow in grace and in fellowship with You, in Jesus' name pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I praise Your name for the blood of Jesus which has cleansed me of all my sins and identified me with the righteousness of Christ. Your grace gives me the choice to walk in Your marvellous light or live my Christian life in the shadow of the world, the flesh, and the devil. I choose, from this day forward, to walk in the light as Jesus is in the light, for I desire a more intimate fellowship with Him. In His precious name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that when Christ died, He paid the price for my sins and broke the power of sin in my life. In Him, I have fellowship with You and free access to the throne of grace. I confess that I have not always walked in spirit and truth but have given in to the temptations to follow the desires and cravings of my own heart. I am sorry for doing things that were displeasing to You and omitting to do those things that were pleasing to You but thank You that You are faithful and just to forgive all my sins and to keep on cleansing me from unrighteousness. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Thank You Lord that You are the almighty God Who forgives all our sins and pardons all our wrongdoings, and I just want to ask Your forgiveness for the times today what I have not truly loved You as I ought - with all my heart and soul and mind and strength. Forgive me I pray for the times that I sought to carry out my own will in preference to Yours.
Thank You that I have been washed by the blood of the Lamb and have been made righteous in Your sight by faith in Jesus Christ my Saviour. But Lord, just like the disciples in the upper room, I need my “feet” to be washed by You, my heart to be cleansed in the power of the Holy Spirit and my sins to be forgiven - knowing that You are a faithful God who is ready and willing to forgive us our sins and to cleans us from all unrighteousness.
Forgive me for wanting my own way rather that seeking You first in everything. Help me to look to Jesus every moment of the day and may I sleep soundly as I prepare to go to sleep. Thank You that Your mercies are new every morning. and thank You for Your great faithfulness towards me and to all those that have trusted in Christ
Help me to rest soundly tonight, so that I may wake refreshed in the morning and be ready and equipped to do Your bidding. Open my eyes to see You and my ears to hear Your voice speaking to me and lead me in the way of righteousness – from this day forward, I ask in Jesus name,
Amen
Heavenly Father, how I praise and glorify Your holy name that my sins are forgiven by faith in Christ and that I can enjoy sweet fellowship with You. I confess I have no righteousness of my own and do not deserve to receive Your grace and favour. But thank You that my hope rests on Christ. Dear Father, too often I find myself allowing fleshly tendencies to influence my life choices. Forgive me for the times I have left my first love, behaved arrogantly, or failed to listen to Your gentle promptings. Restore to me the joy of my salvation. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that I can enjoy wonderful fellowship with You, simply because I have trusted Christ as my Saviour.

Thank You that the Lord Jesus is my righteous advocate Who ever lives to make intercession for me. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Christ is the propitiation for my sins and that His sacrificial death has paid the full price for my sins, brought me into eternal union with Himself, and returned me back into sweet fellowship with the Father. Thank You that by His glorious Resurrection, I have received newness of life and that this same offer of salvation is open to whosoever will believe. Thank You for all those who are coming to Christ in these last days. May many more come to a saving faith in Christ before it is too late. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that in Christ, both the penalty for my sin has been paid and the power of sin in my life has been broken, enabling me to live my life as Christ lived His, in spirit and truth.

May all I say and all I do be to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Heavenly Father, thank You for this new commandment which Jesus gave to His disciples, and has become such a well-loved old instruction which has been passed down through generations of believers to me.

Thank You for the length, and breadth, and depth, and height, of His supernatural and never-ending, never-failing, love for me. Keep me low at the Cross and broken before You.

This I pray in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the beautiful commandment of Christ, to love as He loves, which is ever old, yet ever new.

Loving Lord, I recently had an abortion because I was pregnant and did not want to have another baby,but since going through the abortion Lord, I find that I am beset about by guilt and my heart feels as if it is torn in two.
Lord, You have promised to be close to those whose hearts are breaking. I know that what I did was wrong, because You are the Lord of life, but Father, You are also the great God of comfort and the Comforter that has promised to be with us always and to comfort us in our distresses.
Lord I have just read the prayer ‘I Had An Abortion,’ and I thank You that You died to pay the price for all my sins, including this abortion. Lord, I know that any deep wound takes much time to heal, but I pray Lord, that You would start to mend my broken heart today and to soothe my smarting soul.
Give me the comfort that only comes from You to face the future, knowing that in Your sight I am pure and forgiven, and thank You for Your great assurance that there is no sin that is so bad that You are unwilling to forgive.
Thank You, in Jesus' name,
Amen.

Heavenly Father, thank You that You loved the world so much that You gave Your unique and incomparable Son as the substitute for my sin and for the sin of the world.

As I rest in Your love, I pray that I would experience the peace the passes understanding, whatever situation of life I am in. And as I come to a deeper realisation of the depth of Your superlative love for me, may I be used by You to love as I am loved. In Jesus’ name, AMEN.
Father, when I think of the depth of Your love for me, I am overwhelmed. I cannot love as You love, unless You pour Your supernatural love through me, so that it may flow through me and out to others. Thank You that I am being conformed into the likeness of Christ. May the seed of love that You have planted within my heart, blossom into a godly love. Take my life as a vessel through whom Your love is shed abroad into a world where real love has been corrupted. I love You, Jesus, and I pray in Your precious name, AMEN.

Heavenly Father, I have trusted You for my salvation and desire to walk in spirit and truth, to abide daily in Christ, and to live in unbroken fellowship with You in the days I have left of my life.

Thank You, Heavenly Father, that in Christ we are distinct from the satanically controlled world system that is under the power of Satan, because we are part of the new creation in Christ and have received His perfect resurrected life within us. Keep me from succumbing to the fleshly desires of this fallen world system. Thank You that my eternal salvation and position in this world depends on my relationship with Jesus and that in Him I have been freed from the power of sin and Satan. I pray that many who have not yet trusted Christ for salvation will be saved by grace through coming to faith in Him - and use me I pray, to be a witness to the gospel of truth. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You sent Your only begotten Son to become my Saviour. Thank You that in Your goodness and grace, I have been given understanding by the Holy Spirit so that I can know Him more fully. He is the only way to God, the only truth from God, and the only life of God. I pray that I would spend the rest of my life walking in the truth, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I know how easy it is for people and things, activities and customs, to creep into my life and push You from the throne of my life. Help me to stay ever close to You in thought, word, and deed, knowing that only as You are lifted up on the throne of my life, will the things of this world take their proper, subordinate place. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Dear Father, Who art in heaven, thank You that You are my heavenly Husbandman and that You tend my life with such care and concern. Cleanse me and prune me, and take away anything that you discover in me that does not glorify Your holy name.
Thank You, Father, that I am a heavenly branch that is united to my heavenly Vine, the lovely Lord Jesus Christ. May His life flow through mine as sap flows through the branch that is engrafted into its parent stem. Fill me with His fullness so that I may live and move and grow and bear fruit as I abide more and more in Him. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
