Loving Father, thank You for the example of Abraham who lived his life by faith. I pray that as my faith is tested through the circumstances of life, that in the end I will come forth as gold. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the new and better Covenant that was inaugurated at Calvary’s Cross, knowing that without the shedding of Jesus’ sinless and precious blood there would have been no forgiveness of my sins. How I praise and thank You that Jesus died for me and gave me Your Holy Spirit to live Your life in me. Help me to live a life that is holy unto the Lord. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus is with me always to comfort and help me. But thank You also that He is my heavenly advocate, and that having finished His work of salvation on my behalf, is now interceding in the heavenly sanctuary for me. All praise to His holy name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus. Thank You that by His once and forever offering of Himself on the Cross, He paid the full and final price for sin so that whoever trusts in Him for salvation will not perish but have everlasting life. Bring many into the kingdom of Your dear Son. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what a sobering verse this is, knowing that all mankind will be judged. Thank You that my judgement will be at the Bema Seat with all other Church Age believers, where no judgement of sin is given, because Christ paid the price for sin on my account and was judged in my place. When I think of the Great White Throne Judgement of all unbelievers I shudder, because those who did not trust Christ and receive His free gift of salvation will be judged and thrown into the lake of fire. May I freely tell all I meet of Jesus' free gift so that many will trust Him and partake in the Bema Seat Judgement as believers. As for me, I pray that I may live a life that is honouring to You so that at the Bema Seat Judgement I may receive rewards and not suffer loss of rewards. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank You for Your glorious plan of justification, sanctification, and glorification, for all that trust in Jesus as Saviour. Thank You that we can look back into history to Your First Coming, and we can look, just as surely, into the future to behold Your Second Coming. I eagerly await your any day return to take the Church, which is Your Body, to be with Yourself at the Rapture. Come quickly, Lord Jesus. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
I praise and thank You, Heavenly Father, for the wonderful assurance of faith I have in my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Thank You that I have been washed in the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb and covered in the righteousness of the lovely Lord Jesus Christ. Keep my ears open to Your voice, my eyes open to Your leading, and my heart ready to follow Your guiding light. This I ask in the precious name of Jesus, AMEN.
Dear Father God, thank You for the simple way that You open our understanding to the truth of Your Word. At times, I try to complicate things instead of looking to Scripture to open my understanding of Your perfect plan of salvation, and recognising the pictures You paint in Scripture, to point me to Christ. Thank You, that Jesus is not only our Heavenly King and High Priest, but is also the eternal Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world, and the perfect Kinsman- Redeemer and Mediator between fallen humanity and our holy Father. To Him be all honour and glory and in His name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Father, I stand amazed at the wonder of Who You are and that You should condescend to love me and rescue me from the wages of my sin. Thank You for conveying this truth to me through Your single, integrated, supernaturally inspired message of Scripture. May I study to be approved and not stand ashamed before Your throne of grace. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the message of salvation and grace to all that You sent through the Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God and Son of Man. Thank You that all who believe on His name will not be condemned but have everlasting life. I will sing of Your love forever, my loving Saviour and gracious Lord. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I am filled with awe and wonder that Jesus redeemed me from death and hell with His own precious blood. What a blessing to know that Christ's work is finished, my sins are forgiven, and I am redeemed. Thank You that after Jesus finished His work, He sat down at Your right hand and even now is there making intercession for me. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, may I never fall into the trap of worshipping or glorifying angels. An angel could never save mankind but only God incarnate, Your only begotten Son, my Saviour, Jesus Christ could save us. May my worship, glory, and honour be for Him. Praise His holy name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You gave Your only begotten Son to become the sacrifice for my sins. Thank You that by faith in Christ's finished work at Calvary my sins have been forgiven forever and my life has been redeemed from the pit. Thank You that Christ rose from the dead and has become the first-begotten from the dead, and thank You that in Him I have life, eternal life, and life more abundantly. Help me to live my life to Your honour and glory, and may I never forget what it cost You to have the new life in Christ empowering me. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You chose to step into time and become part of Your own creation for a season so that fallen, condemned humanity might be redeemed from the curse of sin and death. You alone are worthy of all honour and glory, might, majesty, dominion, praise, and worship. May I join my voice with the angels of heaven and together may we worship You forever and ever. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You sending the Lord Jesus to be Your full and final revelation to mankind. Thank You for making man in Your own image and likeness and for Your wonderful plan of salvation, where despite our faults and failure, You sent Your only begotten Son to become a Man and to die on the Cross for the sin of the world. Thank You that Your throne is established in righteousness and justice, and for giving us an understanding of the angelic realm - whom You use as ministering spirits to dispatch both blessings and judgements on the children of men. To You be praise and glory, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how can it be that You would love the fallen race of rebellious man so much that You sent Your only begotten Son to be made sin for us so that in Him, we might be made the righteousness of God. I praise You that the sceptre of righteousness is in His hand and that one day He will set up His everlasting kingdom of righteousness. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that the Lord Jesus is Your full and final message to mankind. Thank You that He is more than a messenger from God, but God incarnate Who brought salvation to a lost and dying world. Thank You that the joy of the Lord is my strength and that one day I will enter into the fullness of His joy. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus, the Word of God Who created the heavens and the earth. I stand in awe at the magnificence of the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, the majesty of His office, and His eternally appointed judicial role as King-of-kings and Lord-of-lords. Thank You for sending Jesus to be my Saviour. May I live my life to His praise and glory, now and forever. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You that Jesus is the true and living God. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Thank You that by grace through faith in Him, I too will not perish but have everlasting life. I pray that all the days of my life, I will I live, and move, and have my being in Him, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, praise Your holy name for Christ Who came as a Man to live a perfect life, to die a sacrificial death, be raised from the dead, and is now seated at Your right hand making intercession for me. I look forward to that day when You make His enemies His footstool. In that day with the angels I will sing: "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty, heaven and earth are full of His glory, hosanna in the highest." In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what a privilege to be adopted into Your family as a child of God and to be made a joint-heir with Christ by Your grace, simply through believing in Jesus as my God and Saviour. Thank You for the angelic host and the wonderful role that they play in Your eternal plans and purposes. Thank You that You send forth angels as ministering spirits to all who will inherit salvation. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the unsurpassed pre-eminence of Jesus Christ Who is the visible image of the invisible God and Who alone is worthy of all worship and praise. Keep me looking to Jesus, and may I never drift away through indifference or neglect. May I walk worthy of my calling, anchored to the Rock of my salvation. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus is Your full and final revelation to mankind and that by grace through faith in Him, I have salvation of the soul and life everlasting. Thank You that I am no longer under the Law and will not receive the punishment for all my violations of the Law. All praise and glory to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many evidences in the Word of God and in my own personal life, of Your unchanging character. Thank you for the unchangeable truth in Scripture and the many signs that authenticate Christ's Person and work. May I live to Your praise and glory and tell forth the truth of the glorious gospel of grace while there is still time. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that the Son of Man is my Kinsman-Redeemer and that in Him I have been made a new creation in Christ. Thank You that by faith, I have been born into Your family and have received His nature and His name. And thank You that I am being conformed into His image and likeness. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what an amazing concept to grasp that the Creator of the angels, Who is far superior to them, put off His divine nature and became a little lower than them in order to die on the Cross on my account so that my sins could be forgiven and I could be declared righteous. All praise, honour, glory, and majesty be to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, forever and ever. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I am amazed at Your wonderful plan and purpose for mankind and that in Christ, You will fully and finally bring to fruition Your original plan and purpose for us. Thank You that I have been redeemed by faith, have become a new creation in Christ, and am destined to be part of the perfect plan. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, it is a thing most wonderful to know that the Lord Jesus was prepared to go through so much in order to save my soul from eternal separation from You. Thank You that in Christ, the curse of sin, death, and hell no longer have dominion over me. To Him be all praise and glory. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I stand in awe that Jesus chose to live a life of suffering and pain, all because of His love of me, to bring me into the heavenly glory of Your love. Thank You, Lord. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father thank You that for my sake, Your only begotten Son was willing to be born into the human race and be born as a Man so that He could set Himself apart to become the sacrifice for my sin and the sin of the whole world. Thank You that through Christ I have been positionally sanctified and am being changed from one degree of glory to another by faith in Him. May I witness to the truth of His Word to a lost and dying world to Your praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your faithfulness in sending Christ to be the propitiation for our sins and becoming one of us so that by faith in His sacrifice, we might become sons of God and joint-heirs with Christ. Thank You that by faith in the atoning work of His blood, all who believe are covered in His righteousness and have become His earthly brothers. I praise You because Christ's kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and His throne will last forever and ever, and thank You, Father, that He is not ashamed to call all who trust in Him, His brothers. Thank You in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus was born into the human race to declare Your name to the children of men. Thank You for the wonderful example that Jesus gave during His life and through His death. May my trust in You reflect the same, beautiful faith that the Son of God demonstrated throughout His earthly life. I pray that in every area of my own life, I may place my trust in You so that my faith in God may begin to reflect the beautiful life of Jesus - as, day by day, I am being transformed into the image and likeness of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I cannot begin to imagine what it must have cost You to send the dear Lord Jesus down to earth, leaving His eternal position in heaven to be born as a man. Thank You that through His death, He has destroyed the power of death and Satan. I look forward to that day, yet future, when He will throw Satan, hell, and death itself into the lake of fire. To Him be all praise and glory, world without end, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus. Thank You that He left His heavenly throne in glory and chose to be clothed in human flesh, with life-giving blood pulsing through His veins so that by shedding that life-giving blood, He could take the punishment for my sin - removing the curse of the Law and covering me with His own righteousness - by faith. That the Son of God would do this for me is astonishing, and I pray that I will NEVER forget the freedom I have from the fear of death, which is mine through faith in Christ Jesus, my Lord. May I be willing to give up myself for His service. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what amazing grace to realise that You did not save the angels who sinned but instead You chose to save the sinful race of man. Thank You that Jesus became a Man and was born into this fallen race of disobedient sinners... yet without sin. Thank You that He set aside His heavenly glory and was made a little lower that the angels in order to become like one of us so that by faith in Him, we might be redeemed through His precious blood. Thank You that by faith I have been redeemed. To Him be all praise and glory, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I am amazed and humbled to the core of my being to realise that the incarnate Son of God came to earth as a Man and took upon Himself the form of a servant. He learned what it was to suffer, even unto death on a Cross, to pay the price for my sins by means of His sacrificial death and glorious Resurrection. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You for Jesus. Thank You that He was willing to be tempted and tried for my sake. Thank You that He was prepared to identify Himself with my humanity and to suffer so much so that I might identify with His perfect righteousness, and live my life in and through Him. Thank You that He understands my problems and pain and is able to come to the aid of all who are being tempted and tried. Thank You that by death He broke the power of death in my life. May I live to His eternal praise and glory, AMEN.
Thank You dear Heavenly Father, that by grace through faith in Christ, I am a partaker of His heavenly calling. Thank You that the Lord Jesus is both God’s Message and His Messenger. Thank You that Jesus is both the Lamb of God Who died for me, and the High Priest of my confession, Who intercedes on my account. I pray that I may know You more, love You better, and draw ever closer to You, as I gaze on Your glory and contemplate Your grace. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus Who is the great High Priest and the Apostle to Whom we confess. Thank You for His sinless life and sacrificial death on the Cross.

In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Heavenly Father, You are so very gracious and Your long-suffering mercy toward me is new every morning. Thank You that I have all I need for life and godliness laid out so clearly in Your Word. Thank You for the warning in the book of Hebrews not to follow in the way of Israel and live a defeated life through unbelief, but to trust in You with all my heart and lean not on my own limited understanding. I pray that I may listen to Your voice, know Your ways, obey Your instruction, and hold fast to the confidence I have in Christ. I ask this in Jesus' name, AMEN.

Keep me looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith, the Beginning and the End of Your creative work. Thank You in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank you that Christ Jesus is my rest. Sometimes I forget that resting in Him is simply appropriating Your Word and accepting your precious promises, by faith. I pray that, day by day, I may rest in Jesus by trusting my life into His hands and trusting the Word of truth in my life. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus is my rest. I pray that I may learn to abide in Him, moment by moment, to rest in Him each and every day, to submit to His leading and guiding, and to depend utterly upon Him from this day forward. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, for the living, powerful Word of God. I pray that whatever it takes, Your Holy Spirit would continue to convict, convert, comfort, and conform me into the image of the lovely Lord Jesus, so that I become the person You want me to be. May I never hinder the work of Your Holy Spirit within, as He continues to divide my born-again spirit from my sin-sick soul. Root out all that is not of Christ and use me I pray, as a conduit through Whom You can flow, unhindered, into the lives of those around me. Thank You that You loved us so much that You purposed to change all who believe, into the image and likeness of Christ Jesus, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.

I can scarce take in that You, Yourself, should come as my Saviour and High Priest so that I can approach You on Your great and gracious throne of grace.

Thank You, in Christ’s name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus, my anointed High Priest Who ever lives to make intercession for me. Thank You that He is the Mediator between God and man, and through Him I have access to Your throne of grace. Thank You that the Lord Jesus finished the good work of redemption, by means of His sacrificial death and glorious Resurrection so that by grace through faith in Him, I have been brought into eternal fellowship with You. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the amazing book of Hebrews which offers so much insight into the Person, the Work, the Mission, and the Ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ and Your perfect plan of redemption. Thank You for the many 'pictures' You paint through the history and times of Israel which teach us so much about the Lord Jesus Christ; the Prophet who was spoken of by Moses, Your anointed Priest after the order of Melchizedek, and Your appointed King of kings and Lord of lords. Give me a teachable spirit I pray, and open the Scriptures to me day by day so I may grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, there are no words to express my grateful thanks, as with astonished awe and wonder I consider Jesus, my Heavenly High Priest, Who in the days of His flesh offered up prayers and supplication with loud crying and tears, as He faced the Cross and was made sin on my account. Worthy is Jesus, the Lamb that was slain, to receive all honour and glory and worship and praise and majesty, dominion and power for ever and ever, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus came to earth as my Kinsman-Redeemer and learned how it was to live in this sin-sick fallen world. Thank You that He was prepared to lay aside His heavenly glory and be born into the race He created. How amazing that He should learn obedience by the things that He suffered. May I have a fresh understanding of the suffering that You allow in my life so that like Jesus, I too would learn obedience to You. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that the eternal Son of God set aside His glory to become part of humanity and to live in humble circumstances on my account. Thank You that He was willing to be perfected by the things that He suffered. May I live in humble obedience to His will so that, day by day, I am conformed into His perfect image. I look forward to that day when, in heaven, I will finally be like Him as I will see Him as He is. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I pray that I may grow in grace and become spiritually mature. As I stand fast on the unchanging and unchangeable Word of truth, may I have my senses trained to discern what is good and what is evil and to stay away from those teachings and teachers that distort the Word of truth. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I pray that I may mature in the faith and walk in the light, as He is in the light. Help me to move on from dabbling in the elementary teachings of Christianity and I pray that I may grow into a deeper awareness of all that You would teach me. Help me to grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus. Keep me walking in spirit and truth and enable me to learn patient endurance so that I may become perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. Help me to increasingly abide in Christ and He in me, to Your greater praise and glory. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, You are a good and righteous God Whose faithfulness continues from one generation to the next. Thank You for my great salvation.

Thank You that nothing we do ever goes unnoticed by You. May my life be a daily witness and living sacrifice to Your grace and goodness. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You for the promise you made to Abraham which has its fulfilment in all who trust in the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin and life everlasting.

Thank You that in Christ, I have become part of that cloud of witnesses, both living and dead, who have been saved by grace through faith. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unchangeable Word, in which it is impossible for You to lie. Thank You for the truth of the Scriptures. Thank You for the great encouragement and hope that we have in Christ. Increase my faith, I pray, and may I live to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank You for the wonderful reassurances of my security in Christ which You have graciously poured out upon me in such super-abundance and which You have confirmed throughout Your holy Word.

This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the amazing lessons I can learn from the mysterious figure of Melchizedek and the choices that Abraham made when he met Him on his homeward journey, after he rescued his nephew from his enemies. Keep me from being dazzled by the transitory, tempting treats, passing perks, and glittering prizes this world has to offer. Thank You that Jesus is my great High Priest of heaven Who is interceding on my behalf, day and night, and pouring untold and eternal blessings on my head. I praise and thank You, Lord. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, it is a thing most wonderful to realise that Jesus was born into His own creation so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Thank You that by faith in Him, we might be redeemed from the slave-market of sin. Thank You for Your people, Israel, and the part they played in opening our understanding to Your perfect plan of redemption. Open my eyes more and more and give me a greater understanding of Your Word in the days ahead. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many lessons that You teach us in Your Word. Help me to understand more of You with each passing day. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, how I praise and thank You for giving Jesus as Your final Word to the world and introducing Him as the King-Priest, after the order of Melchizedek. Thank You for the wonderful way You used Israel to bring Jesus into the world as the Jewish Messiah, and Saviour of the world. Thank You, that You are using the Church today to continue fulfilling Your plan of redemption to this lost and dying world. Bring many into the kingdom I pray, and may Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for showing us that Jesus is the great Prophet, the great King of the Jews Who will sit on David's throne. He is the promised Messiah of Israel and the Saviour of mankind. Thank You that today, Jesus is seated on the throne of His Father acting as our great High Priest and is interceding for His Church night and day. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and the truths it contains. Thank You for the Scriptures that point me to Christ and help me to understand that we have all sinned and we all fall short of Your perfect standard. But how I praise You, Lord, that by Your grace You cut a New Covenant through the blood of Christ Jesus Who has become my Kinsman-Redeemer and through Whom I can draw near to You, by faith in His sacrificial work. Thank You that I have a new and better hope through faith in Christ and an eternal home in heaven. Praise Your holy name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I rejoice to know that Jesus became the guarantee of our great salvation, through a better covenant that was cut at Calvary when He became sin for us and willingly sacrificed His own, perfect life on the Cross. Thank You that Jesus is the greatest Prophet of God and will one day reign on earth as King of kings and Lord of Lords. And thank You that today He is seated at the right hand of God, interceding for us as our Great High Priest. Keep me ever mindful of all that Christ has done for me, and may I live my life for His honour and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Son Who has saved and sanctified me to the uttermost and is daily interceding for me. Praise Your wonderful name. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the amazing picture of the high, heavenly Sanctuary and that Jesus is the Mediator of a better Covenant. Thank You that He stands in the gap between God and man.

Praise His holy name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that through the blood of Christ Jesus our Lord we have a New and better Covenant with new and better promises of grace and the forgiveness of sins.

Heavenly Father, thank You that You are my God of peace Who, through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, has made eternal peace with all who trust in Him as Saviour. Thank You that my salvation does not depend on me trying to keep Your perfect Law but on Christ and His finished work on the Cross. For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to everyone who believes in Him. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your amazing plan of redemption and the wonderful way that You unveiled Your perfect plan for the salvation of the world through the Holy Scriptures. Thank You that Jesus was willing to come to earth to be the sacrifice for my sin and shed His lifeblood on the Cross so that by faith in Him, I might receive the forgiveness of sin and obtain eternal redemption. Praise Your holy name. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what an incredible sacrifice, that through the blood of Christ, my salvation has been made secure. Thank You for sending Jesus to be the sin-sacrifice for me and for the rest of the world. Thank You that through the eternal Spirit, He offered Himself without blemish to You.. so that by faith, my conscience is cleansed from dead works, and I have been given the sufficient grace to love and serve You in newness of life and in purity of spirit. May I do so to my life's end to Your praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that the Law which was given to Israel, was a shadow of better things to come through Christ. He is not only my heavenly High Priest, but the sacrificial offering that You accepted as the full and final payment for my sin and the sin of the whole world. Thank You that there is nothing more that I need to do other than believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as my Saviour. May I never ever become complacent about the enormous sacrifice that the Lord Jesus paid on my account when He went to the Cross for my sake. In His precious name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that I am positionally sanctified in Christ. Help me to abide in Him and He in me so that I may grow in grace and live as You intended man to live. I cannot live through good works, worthy merit, or through my own vain efforts to keep the perfect requirements of the Law. I can only live by faith, in complete and utter dependence upon You. Help me in all things to pray, "Not my will by Thine be done." In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the Law, the Levitical priesthood, and the sacrifices that were so faithfully made again and again to cover the sins of Israel and constantly pointing to the One Who sacrificed Himself once for the sins of the whole world, past, present, and future. Thank You that Jesus' sacrifice was enough and that we cannot add anything more for our salvation than to believe on Him. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You for Your glorious plan of salvation, once for all on the Cross. Thank You for the remission of sins and that You remember our sins no more. By Christ's one offering of Himself, I have been made perfect in Your eyes for all time and into eternity. Help me to live a life that is honouring to Your name. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your amazing plan of redemption. Thank You that despite their apostasy You did not cast Your earthly people aside, but promised to make a new, unconditional covenant with them. Thank You that as a member of the Body of Christ, I am a minister of that new and better Covenant. I pray that You will use me to carry out Your will and purpose for my life, to Your praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank You for giving Your only begotten Son to tear down the wall of separation between Your perfection and my sinfulness. Thank You that by His death I have been proclaimed righteous and dressed in His eternal righteousness. To Him be all honour and glory. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that I am part of the Body of Christ. May I understand the importance of meeting regularly with my brothers and sisters in Christ, especially in these last days in which we live before Your return in the clouds at the glorious Rapture of the Church. I pray that I may actively seek out opportunities to meet together with other Christians so that together we may give mutual encouragement and motivate one another toward godly love and good works. As the world becomes increasingly dark, I pray that none of us would fall into the trap of becoming isolated in our Christian walk, but we would grow in grace and wisdom and in a knowledge of You, enjoying godly fellowship and sound teaching. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to be my Saviour and Lord. Thank You that He is my Prophet, Priest, and King, and for the great work He has done for me at Calvary. I confess that I have not always followed Him as I ought, but I humbly pray that in Your power, I would live according to His perfect will. Help me to understand more fully the implications of His death and Resurrection in my life, and I pray that I would come to know His love more deeply and honour Him in all I say and do. Give me strength to press on to maturity and to embrace the new life of righteousness I have in Him. Thank You for all You have done for me. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that my salvation is eternally secure and nothing can separate me from Your love. Thank You that the only requirement for salvation is to believe in Jesus. May I never be tempted to try to add anything to gain or maintain my salvation. I pray for all those who are trying to add more requirements to their walk with You and in doing so, are trampling You underfoot and bringing upon themselves a severe chastening from You which is, indeed, terrifying. May they repent, realising that they can add nothing to Christ's' finished work on the Cross. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the Word of truth and the warnings and encouragement that it contains for our spiritual learning and Christian maturity. I pray that I may be faithful to You in thought, word, and deed, and thank You for Your many precious promises which are 'yes' and 'amen' in Christ Jesus my Saviour, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, may I live a life that is pleasing to You, and may I keep looking to Jesus, moment by moment, knowing that He is returning soon to take His Bride home to be with Himself. Thank You that Your plans are perfect, and Your promises are secure. Come quickly, Lord Jesus! In Your name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I know that without faith it is impossible to please You. Help me to live each day of my life in the light of Your love and not to draw back through unbelief or fear. Help me to know, reckon, appropriate, and live the victorious life which is already mine in Christ. May my faith be pleasing to You, and may I glorify You in all I say and do. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, I can be so entrenched in my own thinking that sometimes I doubt Your Word and question Your promises, often wishing I had some concrete proof of Your love for me. Forgive me, Lord - I know that Your Word gives me all the affirmation of this absolute reality that I need. Your Word and promises are sure, and Your faithfulness stretches beyond the limits of time and space. Thank You for the gift of faith. I pray that, day by day, my loving trust in You will become increasingly established within my heart for I long to please You in all I say and do and am. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Dear Father, what a wonderful testimony Enoch had, that he pleased God. Thank You also for the story of how he was raptured away to heaven by God before the Great Flood engulfed the earth. I look forward to the time Jesus comes to rapture His Bride to heaven before the 7 year Tribulation on the earth. Until that time, may I live my life the same way as Enoch by faith that is pleasing to You. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I realise how quickly and easily I can move from trusting You to doubting Your Word, when things do not go the way that I expect. I pray that like the men and women of faith in Hebrews, my trust in You will not falter. Help me to earnestly seek You day by day, for I know that only as Christ lives in and through me, by faith, can I be pleasing in Your sight. In Jesus’ name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how wonderful to know that Your promises will all be fulfilled and that a day is coming when our faith will be turned into sight as future prophecies and promises will be fulfilled at Your appointed time and in Your specified way. Thank You for the example of men and women of faith like Abraham and Sarah, and for the knowledge that nothing that You have planned and purposed will be left unfinished. Thank You that my sins have been forgiven and will be remembered no more and together with Abraham and all the saints, I look forward to the city to come - whose Builder and Maker is God. AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many ways You teach us the truth of Your redemptive plan and for the example of Abraham, a man of faith who trusted You when severely tested and who You used as an example of living our life by faith. I pray that my faith in You may grow and mature and that no matter what circumstances happen in this life, I will trust You with all my heart. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the great cloud of worthy men and women who gained Your approval through their faith. It is lovely to realise that they continued to trust in the truth of Your Word when faced with unspeakable difficulties and dangers. Their faith did not waver, even though they died before receiving what was promised. I pray that I too may have the sort of faith that does not waver when problems arise and that I will be faithful to the point of death. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, Your plan of salvation for Jewish saints and Gentile believers is most wonderful. Thank You that Christ's sacrifice of Himself on the Cross of Calvary has enabled men and women of faith, both Old and New Testament saints, to be justified by faith and receive the forgiveness of sin and life everlasting. Whether trusting in the future Redeemer or looking back and trusting the risen Saviour, the Cross paid it all, past, present, and future. Thank You for all who have trusted Your Word, both pre and post-Cross believers. How wonderful it will be to share eternity with the Old Testament saints, praising and glorifying You together. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank You for the many people of faith in Scripture who bear witness that Your Word is trustworthy and true. In the trials and difficulties of my life, help me to keep trusting You like this great cloud of witnesses. Help me to discard every encumbrance that may hinder my Christian progress and witness and give me perseverance as I press toward the final goal. May I patiently endure all the obstacles in life in the power of the Holy Spirit and help me to be a living witness to Your Word of truth. In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, praise Your Holy name that Jesus went to the Cross and endured its suffering and separation for my sake. Thank You that even in His agony He counted it as joy because His work would save my soul. Thank You that His work is finished, and salvation is free to all who trust, by faith alone, in Christ alone. May I forever and ever keep Jesus as the centre and circumference of my life and faith. In His precious name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the Lord Jesus Christ, my glorious Saviour, and His wonderful example of the only life ever lived in total dependence and willing obedience upon You, despite the grievous opposition and bitter hostility He faced. As I look to Jesus, I pray that I will not grow weary or lose heart in the difficult circumstances that I am facing, but may I look to Him in utter dependence and willing obedience. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, forgive me for the times when I have not recognised my suffering as chastening from You to develop in me the wonderful fruit of righteousness. Help me to consider it all joy when I fall into the trials of life, knowing that the testing of my faith produces perseverance so that I may grow in grace and come into spiritual fullness. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me as a dearly beloved son and for the training me in the way I should go. Enable me to see beyond my trials, difficulties, and sufferings, to the character, responsibility, obedience, and the fruit of the Spirit that You desire to develop in me for my eternal benefit and for Your greater glory. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, help me to endure Your chastening and correction in my life with wisdom and grace, knowing that through it You are conforming me into the image and likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ. Give me a teachable spirit and a heart of humble submission and willing obedience so that I may learn all the lessons You would teach me. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I have not always understood the need for child-training in my life and have often resisted You or hindered Your work in my life. But thank You that Your discipline is wise, and Your chastening is a proof of Your love for me as a blood-bought child, accepted in the Beloved. Help me to patiently endure Your chastening, and may I learn obedience and humility while willingly submitting to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for placing us in families and for the parents You gave me, and thank You that I am Your child and part of that great, heavenly family, that has been saved by grace through faith in Christ. I did not always want to learn the lessons that my parents tried to teach me, and I have too often resisted Your own, perfect, chastening hand. Help me to be willing to learn the lessons that You would teach me, quickly and thoroughly, for I desire to be holy as You are holy. I pray that I may learn to be obedient to Your voice and submissive to Your leading and guidance. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I pray I may have a teachable spirit and a willingness to submit to Your chastening hand in my life. I pray that I would learn the lessons that You would teach me, knowing that, "the Lord loves those He disciplines." Thank You that Jesus is the perfect example of a Man Who learned obedience by the things He suffered. May I follow His example in spirit and in truth, and I pray that I would grow in grace and mature in the faith so that I am spiritually complete and honouring to You. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that I have been redeemed, sanctified, and set apart by You, because I am Your blood-bought child.

Help me to keep the eyes of my heart fixed on Jesus, and I pray that the life that I now live in this body may reflect my heavenly position in Christ. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, search my heart, oh God, and help me to identify any seeds of bitterness that may be lurking within. There may be bitterness from recent events in my life or from things that happened long ago, but the bitterness still remains in my heart. Lord, by your grace please root out this bitterness and replace it with Your grace and forgiveness, mercy and kindness. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that in Christ I am a member of His Body, His Bride, and part of the Church of the Firstborn who will never have to face the second death. Thank You that my citizenship is in heaven and that my name is enrolled in the Book of Life. Thank You that Christ was judged for my sin at Calvary and that by faith, I am clothed in His righteousness. I pray that when I stand before the judgement seat of Christ, I may hear Him say, "well done, good and faithful servant." To His praise and glory, AMEN.
Loving Father I can hardly take in the significance of the New and better Covenant, but I praise and thank You that through the sprinkling of His blood on my stained and sinful heart, I have been cleansed of all my sins and have the Lord Jesus as my Mediator. Thank You, Father, for Your indescribable gift of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what a great and Almighty God You are and yet I have sinned against You as an individual and as a member of Your beautiful creation. It is terrifying to understand what is going to happen to heaven and earth in the future. Thank You for Your promise that although You will cause heaven and earth to pass away, Your Word will never pass away. I look forward to the glorious day, yet future, when You will create a new heaven and a new earth. As for me, Father, I know that without the Lord Jesus as my Saviour, I could never stand before Your awesome majesty and yet by grace through faith in Jesus, I can address You as Abba. May I live to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, help me to examine my priorities in life and keep my eyes fixed on Jesus so that I do not become discouraged by the circumstances I may face when familiar things become shaken and when life seems to be falling apart.

Heavenly Father, thank You that I have been saved by grace through faith in Christ. Thank You that His kingdom can never be shaken and that in Christ I have an inheritance in heaven. Accept my humble praise and everlasting gratitude for all that Christ has done for me, and may my life be acceptable in Your sight. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how amazing and awesome You are. I realise that it is a terrible thing for a sinner to fall into the hands of the Almighty and holy God. I thank You and praise You with all the breath in me that Your consuming fire of judgement was poured out on Christ in my stead. There is so little time left on this earth before Your judgement is poured out. In Your love and mercy, You do not want any to be unsaved and to be thrown into the lake of fire but all to come to a saving knowledge of Christ. Use me in whatever way You choose, to speak Your words at the right time and in the right tone to the people You put in my life so that many may be saved. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that while we were yet sinners, You loved us and gave Christ to be the propitiation for our sins. Help us, in word and deed, to increase and abound in brotherly love for one another, just as we also do for You. Give us wisdom as we minister to our brothers and sisters in Christ, and may we speak the truth in love to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, it is thrilling to think that I may have helped, provided for, or entertained an angel unawares in my life. How wonderful to read in the Bible of angels being sent to earth by You as messengers and protectors and that we read of them worshipping You and rejoicing over one sinner who repents. And while the study of angels is fascinating, may I never take my focus off You, Lord. May I lift up my voice together with the angels and all the host of heaven to praise and worship You. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the institution of marriage and the loving intimacy that we gain from this special relationship, which was instituted by You, in the beginning. Keep me free from sin and pure in thought, word, body, and deed. I pray for all Christian marriages, that You would guard them against the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil - and purify Your Bride I pray, as together we watch expectantly for Your any day return as our Heavenly Bridegroom. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I confess that there are times when I am tempted to be dissatisfied with my life and envious of others, leaving me feeling discontented. Forgive me, Lord. May I be reminded today of that most precious blessing that You will never leave me nor forsake me. Remind me today, Lord, that as part of Your Bride I am one of the most blessed people on earth. Help me to keep my priorities in order, not looking to things of the earth for contentment but to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what an amazing privilege to be able to say that You are my helper. You are for me and not against me. You have saved me, indwelled me, and are interceding for me right now. How can I ever thank You, precious Lord, for Your indescribable blessings to me? May I never fear mortal man or live to please man. May I live to please You every day of my life, to Your eternal praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Thank You that Your goodness and grace toward me is unchanging and unchangeable. Thank You for the many precious promises contained in the Word of God that are as true today as when they were written down. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus. Thank You that He broke the power of sin and death and removed the curse of the law from all who have found their salvation in Him. Keep me from the varied and strange teachings that are invading our churches, and give me wisdom and discernment to know what is doctrinally unsound. Strengthen me by Your grace and prevent me from being drawn into any form of legalist teachings. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Thank You heavenly Lord, for dying on the cross to pay the price for my sins. Thank You heavenly Father, for sending Your Son to be the acceptable Sacrifice for my sin and thank You that Jesus offered up His life willingly so that I can be made holy as God is holy. May I pour out my life in all I say and do so that my life may also become a sweet savour to You. Take my life and use me as You choose, to Your praise and glory, in Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Christ’s sacrifice of Himself on the Cross for my sake. I pray that I may show forth my grateful love and praise to You through an ongoing sacrifice of praise. May the fruit of my lips and the thoughts of my heart be honouring to You. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Christ, my Great and Good Shepherd Who loves and cares for me. I pray that I would stay close to Him, looking to Him for my protection and care, faithfully following Him all the days of my life. In His dear name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what an honour it is to be Christ's ambassador on earth. I pray that You will equip me with all I need to do Your will and to be pleasing in Your sight. I pray that You would finish the good work that you have started in me, to Your praise and glory, forever and ever. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
