Praying through Genesis 1:14

Heavenly Father, thank You for the book of Genesis which tells us of the origin of everything and informs us of Your divine purpose in history, the salvation of man and the restoration of Your beautiful creation. Thank You for the warming sunshine, the cooling light of the moon, and that You threw stars into space on that fourth day of creation and set them in their various courses to be for signs and seasons, days and years. I praise You for the different seasons and for the various prophetic signs that have been recorded in Scripture for my learning. Teach me Your ways and draw me closer to You with every passing day, year, season, and tick of the clock. Help me to interpret the signs of the times, knowing that Jesus is coming soon to take us to be with Himself. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.

Praying through Genesis 1:28

Heavenly Father, what a beautiful reminder that it was Your perfect plan for mankind to look after the earth, have dominion over it, and be fruitful and multiply. In these days when it seems people are worshipping Your creation, with calls to protect the planet and worries about global climate problems, people have forgotten the Creator. May I be a good steward of this planet, because I love You Who created it and I because I want to honour You. Thank You that this sinful world is passing away, to one day be replaced with a new heaven and new earth. Creation declares the glory of God. May I sing with creation to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Praying through Genesis 1:31

Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me a clear understanding of the Biblical foundation of the creation of the world, through a plain reading of Genesis. I pray for those that have been blinded to the truth by the enemy of our soul and pray that in Your goodness and grace, many will recognise the error of humanistic philosophies, liberal theology, and false religious systems. May they be convicted of sin, righteousness, and judgement, so that they may be saved by grace through faith in Christ. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

“And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”
