Father in heaven, I worship and praise Your holy name for Your wonderful plan of salvation. Thank You for sending Jesus, the Word, Who was with the Father before the world began. He came to earth willingly, in human flesh, so that a sinner such as I may be redeemed by His precious blood. Praise Your name and praise Jesus, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, the more I reflect on the truth of Your Word, the more amazed I become at Your love for me. Thank You that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us so that by faith in Him, we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. To Him be all praise and glory, AMEN.
You Lord, are worthy to receive all honour, and glory, and praise. Thank You for Jesus, eternal Creator of everything. He not only created me, but He bought me with a price, His own precious blood on the Cross of Calvary. Thank You that in Christ Jesus, I have become a new creation. What a wonderful Saviour! May I show forth His glory in the ages to come. In His name I pray, AMEN.
How I praise You, Heavenly Father, for the life of the Lord Jesus. Thank You for rescuing me from the kingdom of darkness and bringing me into Your glorious kingdom of light. And thank You for giving me my new life in Christ. May I live each day in a way that is pleasing to You, placing my self-life on the Cross, and living in spirit and truth to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, that the Light of Jesus has shone into my heart, for I trust Him alone as my Saviour and Lord. May the light of Your love shine through me to others, for Your praise and glory, until it is not I that shines in my life, but the light of Christ shining through me. This I ask in Jesus' precious name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the witness of Your Word, and thank You for sending Jesus into the world to be the Light of the world and Saviour of mankind. Help me to walk in the light as He is in the light and to let the light of His love shine through me to others so that my life would be a true testimony to Jesus. And just as John the Baptist prayed, as he bore witness to Jesus, I pray that I may decrease and Jesus may increase, until He is all in all in my life. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Father, thank You for all those that are involved in helping others with their addiction to alcohol. We thank You for places like Alcoholic Anonymous and the many Christian ministries and rehab centres that are dedicated to helping men and women recover from this debilitating and distressing addiction, and showing them the love of the Lord Jesus.
Give wisdom, grace and patience to all that are serving in one capacity or another to relieve the distress and devastation that alcoholism leaves in it wake. We pray that You would give them the right words of encouragement and advice to enable those that are addicted to permanently break free of their alcoholism and so live a more meaningful and fruitful life.
We pray that You would not only rescue alcoholic men and women from the depths of despair to which many have fallen, but also that You would raise them up into a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and bring them into newness of life in Him, to His praise and glory. This we ask in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, I want to know the Lord Jesus more and more. Develop in me a desire to know Him more. Open my eyes to see Him, open my ears to hear His voice, and open my heart to love Him more and more each day. In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father how I thank You that You sent Jesus to become our kinsman-redeemer. Thank You that despite our sinfulness our rejection of the Lord Jesus, that in Your mercy and grace You completed Your work of salvation so that whosever believes on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and His finished work at Calvary will be saved - praise Your holy name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that I may call You Father, because I am Your child, through Jesus Christ my Lord. Shine more of His light into my heart, so that I come to know You more and to love You better each day. In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what grace that You should love the world so much that while we were all dead in our trespasses and sins and at enmity with You - You sent Jesus to be our Saviour and die for our sin. Thank You that I have been born-again - born from above - born into the spiritual realm by FAITH. Thank You for Your goodness and grace, in Jesus name I pray. AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was made flesh and came to dwell among us as the unique and only begotten Son of God, Who alone qualifies to be our Redeemer. Thank You that He was born into the human race as a man - fully God yet fully man - so that by His death and Resurrection, He could become the singular substitute for the sin of the world. Thank You that by grace through faith in Him, I have been redeemed. What a wonderful Saviour, full of grace and truth. To Him be all praise and glory, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank You for Your gracious kindness. Thank You that in Christ, all the righteous requirements of the Law that I am unable to fulfil were fulfilled on my behalf, by Christ Jesus my Saviour. Thank You that in Him I am saved and have all things richly to enjoy. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for revealing Yourself to me through Your only begotten Son, my Saviour Jesus Christ. Open my eyes to see You more. Open my ears to hear Your voice. Open my heart to understand Your desire for my life, and may I live a life that is pleasing to You. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that by Your grace, I responded to the call to turn from my sin to Jesus and trusted in Him for the forgiveness of my sin. Thank You that despite being rejected by the nation of Israel, there are many Jews who responded to the warning voice of John the Baptist. By faith in Jesus, they have become part of the one New Man in Christ, where there is neither Jew nor Gentile. I look forward to that day when Christ will return for His Church, and I pray for the day when Israel as a nation will repent of their sin, turn back to God, and acknowledge Jesus as Lord and King. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Jesus as the true Lamb of God Who has taken away all my sins. I am so thankful that Jesus died on the Cross for me, becoming the only substitute for my sins. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the witness and prophetic ministry of John the Baptist, the humble forerunner of Christ who died to his own self importance and was ready and willing to point people to Jesus. Help me to develop the characteristics of humility that are so evident in his ministry, and I pray that I may be ready and willing to say, "I must decrease, and He must increase." I praise and thank You that Jesus came into the world to save sinners and fulfilled all righteousness, so that by faith in Him I have been forgiven of my sin and received life everlasting. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You gave Your only begotten Son into the world to be my Saviour. Thank You for the truth of Your Word and the testimony that it contains. I pray that in word and deed, my life may be a testimony and witness to the truth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and Saviour of the world. This I pray in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Dear Lord and Heavenly Father, thank You that whosoever will, may follow Jesus and find the answer to every question they have, in Him. Thank You that Jesus is the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world, and He is the Lamb on the throne Who has secured our redemption through His sacrificial work on the Cross. Thank You for the example of John the Baptist who pointed people to Jesus and for the two disciples that discovered he held the answer to every aching question they had. May I not only follow Jesus but point others to Him - in Whom are the words of eternal life. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You that You sent Jesus from heaven to be the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world. Thank You that He has taken away my own and called me to come to Him for salvation. Give me a longing to know Him better and to love Him more fully, and may I always respond to His invitation to "Come" to Him for all my needs. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for a peep into the lives of Philip and Nathanael who were men of faith in whom there was no guile, but who were ready and willing to respond to the call of Jesus in their lives and recognise that He is not only the Son of Man Who died on the Cross to pay the price for our sin, but God the Son Who rose from the dead so that by faith in Him we might not perish but have everlasting life. Help me never to diminish the deity of Christ. Help me never to forget that He became my Kinsman-Redeemer, and help me to grow more and more like Jesus in the days that lie ahead. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Thank You, Lord, that You always fulfil Your plans and purposes in Your perfect timing. Thank You for loving us so much that You were born into our race and lived a sinless life so that You could redeem us by Your precious blood, when that hour finally arrived. Give me a deeper understanding in my heart of all that Your death and Resurrection achieved. Thank You that my times and my future are safe in Your hands. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the beautiful example of Mary, the dear mother of Jesus. She understood Who Jesus was and pointed others away from herself, to Him. In the same way, help me to keep my eyes looking to Jesus, pointing others away from myself, to Him. May I lift Him up in all I say and do, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that although Jesus respected and obeyed the Law, He also fulfilled the Law when He came to be the propitiation for my sins and for the sins of all who trust in His name. I praise You for Your amazing plan of redemption and that despite Israel’s rejection of their Messiah, salvation has come to all who believe in Him. Thank You that Your plans for both the Church and for Israel will one day be completed, and I look for that any day return of Christ to take us to be with Himself. I pray for the day when the entire nation of Israel will call out to Christ for salvation. This I pray in the name of Jesus, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many lessons that are written in Your Word. Help me to live righteously in Your eyes. Help me to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly before You, all the days of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus. Thank You that Your only begotten Son took on human flesh, was born into the human race, and showed us the way to life everlasting. Thank You that by faith in Him, my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and I have the indwelling Spirit of God living within my mortal frame. Thank You that death no longer has dominion over me and that because Christ was raised from the dead, I too have received newness of life. And thank You that the day is coming when I will also be clothed in a resurrected body. To You be all praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your eternal Son to become a Man so that His human body could die for the sin of the whole world and His life become our life - through time and into eternity - Praise His holy name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, it is a sobering thought to realise that every word I speak, every action I do and every thought that crosses the imagination of my mind is open and exposed before You. Thank You that my salvation is not based on my righteousness but is judged by the righteousness of Christ, Who died in my place so that I might become a new creation in Christ - by faith. Help me to take every thought captive to Christ so that my words and deeds, my thoughts and my motives may be pleasing to You and honouring to Your holy name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how amazing to realise that while I was still a sinner Christ died for me.. and that even when I was dead in trespasses and sins, at enmity with You and without hope in the world, You looked down on me in pity and mercy. Keep me low at the cross and broken before You. Help me to carry out Your will - not in my own fleshly strength but through Your sufficient grace. Prevent me from presumptuous thoughts and may I always and only do those things that are pleasing to You - not simply because You know every thought of my mind but out of a growing love and respect for the Person and Work of my Saviour, Jesus Christ, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for this wonderful witness of a man with a teachable spirit. I pray that like Nicodemus, I may have a teachable spirit and be prepared to come to You with all my needs and questions. Help me not to trust in my own understanding, knowing that You not only have the answer, but that You are the answer. This I pray in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You, that no one who truly seeks to know the truth of Who You are, will be denied that knowledge. Thank You that the truth of Who You are is recorded in Your holy Word. Open my eyes to see the wonderful things contained in Your Word, and may I grow in grace and in a knowledge of my Saviour Jesus Christ. To His praise and glory, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank You that I have been given the gift of eternal life, simply because I trusted in Jesus. Thank You that my spiritual birth and my spiritual growth in the Christian life does not depend on my abilities, but is a free gift of grace, given to all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You gave me life, formed me in my mother’s womb, and scheduled every day of my life. Thank You that You sought me out and brought me into Your kingdom through spiritual birth. How I praise You that I have been born from above, have become part of a new creation in Christ, and am covered in His righteousness. Thank You that in Christ, I am already part of His spiritual kingdom and will one day rule and reign with Him when He sets up His throne on earth. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for my life and for all that it means to be born into the human race. But more than that, I thank You, Father, that Your Holy Spirit convicted me of my sin, of Christ's righteousness, and of the terrible condemnation that will befall all who have not believed in the Son of God for the forgiveness of sin and life everlasting. Thank You that I have been born of the Spirit and washed clean by Christ's precious blood. Thank You for sending Jesus to be the propitiation for my sin. Look down in pity on all whose hearts are crying out for the truth - just as Nicodemus did when he came to Jesus by night and discovered that it is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, that we can enter the kingdom of heaven and live with You in the eternal ages to come. Praise His holy name, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, that the Word of God reveals our true, spiritual need. Thank You that the good news of the gospel is so clearly laid out in Scripture. Thank You that we have been given a bird's-eye view into the teaching of the new birth given to Nicodemus. Thank You for my physical birth into this world and for the opportunity to be born again and become a child of God, through faith in Christ. Thank You that I have been declared righteousness by faith in Christ and have Your assurance that I will not only see heaven, but will one day enter through the gates of pearl into Your heavenly presence. Thank You in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that I am born again by the indiscernible, unfathomable work of the Spirit deep within. I pray that You would work in my life and, little by little, replace my stubborn will with Your better plans and purposes. And I pray that You who have started a good work in me, would continue until the day of Christ Jesus, AMEN.
Dear Lord, thank You that I have been born from above, have become a child of God, and have an inheritance kept for me in heaven. Lord, I do not have the greatest knowledge and understanding of Scripture, but I do know that You came down from heaven to die on the Cross to pay the price for my sin, and that You rose again the third day to break the power of sin in my life and make me a new creation in Christ. And Lord, I know that You ascended into heaven and that I am positioned in Christ in heavenly places, for which I praise and thank You. May I live my life in spirit and truth to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus is my substitute for sin, that He was lifted up on the Cross for my sake and took the punishment that I deserve. I pray that I may lift up the wonderful name of Jesus to all with whom I come in contact so that they may hear the good news of the glorious gospel of grace and look to Him for salvation and live. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness - even so the lovely Lord Jesus came to earth to be made sin on my account and was lifted up on Calvary's cross so that by faith in Him I have life eternal. I pray that many today would come to saving faith in our precious Saviour, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Thank You, Lord, for sending Jesus to die for our sin. Thank You that His blood has paid the full penalty for my sin and that the power of sin in my life has been broken through Him. Thank You that Christ's sacrifice reveals Your immense love for mankind - and for me. I just want to give You thanks and praise for this free gift of salvation that is open to whosoever will come. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Thank You, Lord, for the Bible and for the truth that it contains. Guide me into all truth, I pray, knowing that all I need for salvation and sanctification is contained within the pages of Scripture. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me so much that while I was still a sinner, You sent Jesus to save me from my sin and not to condemn me because of my sin. I praise You for Your glorious plan of redemption, and for saving me by grace through faith in Christ. Thank You that there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, and I pray that I may live my life to Your praise and glory. Thank you, Lord, for Your long-suffering mercy, goodness, and grace for the human race, including me. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father thank You that Your will and purpose is to save guilty sinners, like me, from eternal punishment and judgement. Thank You that by Your grace and goodness, love and power You sent Your Son to pay the purchase price for my sin, and for the sin of the world, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. Thank You that by grace through faith in Christ I have been removed from eternal judgement and received the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting. I pray that many sinners who remain under Your condemnation today would realise their desperate need of a Saviour and turn to Christ today.. and be saved. This I ask in His precious name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I increasingly recognise the evil and wickedness in which this world is drowning. Lord, I pray that people would not believe the lie that they have committed a sin too great to be forgiven. I pray they would come to the Light of the World, Jesus Christ, and be saved by trusting in Him, because in Him alone are the words of eternal life and the forgiveness of sins. Use me as a light in the world to point lost men and women to Jesus. Help me to shine the light of Your love into many hearts today, knowing that the time for Your return draws ever closer. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what a thrill to realise that because I believe in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, and His sacrificial work on the Cross, I have been given the right to become Your child and have been made a member of His mystic Body and am part of His spiritual Bride. As I reflect on the joy that servants, like John the Baptist, expressed in recognising Jesus as the beloved Son of God, Who takes away the sin of the world, it fills me with wonder and awe at Your faithfulness to both Israel and Your great love of the Church. Just as John rejoiced to point people to the Bridegroom, so I rejoice that the day is coming when all Israel will be saved, when they repent of their sin nationally, and call out to the Lord Jesus for their own salvation. Great is Your faithfulness. Praise Your holy name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the life and ministry of John the Baptist who spent his life as a witness and testimony to the truth of the gospel of Christ - the Word made flesh and Light of the world. Thank You for the testimony of John the Baptist and his example of humility and grace, for despite being great in the eyes of men and a special minister of God, he was able to proclaim that Christ must increase while he must decrease. May I walk humbly before you all the days of my life be ready to testify that Jesus is the Saviour of the world and that HE must increase in importance and influence, while I must decrease. Thank You in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that through faith in Christ, I have been given the Holy Spirit without measure and have access to the unlimited power of Christ's Spirit living in me. Thank You that I have been brought out of spiritual blindness into the truth of the glorious gospel of grace, and I pray that I would value this great treasure that has been entrusted to me, and Who now indwells this mortal frame. May I live and work to Your praise and glory, and honour Your holy name in all I say and do. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank you that You loved me so much that while I was still under Your wrath and dead in my trespasses and sins, Christ died for me. Thank you that He rose again from the dead, so that by faith in Him I might not experience the shocking and eternal consequences of God’s wrath but receive the free gift of eternal life. I pray that I might live for Him. To Him be all praise and glory forever and ever, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and the wonderful lessons that it contains. Thank You that there is no one that is beyond Your grace.. and that salvation is available to all who will hear and receive the truth of the glorious gospel of grace. I pray that I may learn as Jesus did to listen to Your voice and be guided by the inner promptings of the Holy Spirit so that I will know when I must go through a certain place - to do your will for Your praise and glory, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus Who humbled Himself by becoming a homeless, travel-worn, exhausted, despised man, even to the point of death on a Cross, in order to save me. Thank You that like the woman at the well, You have become in me a well of water springing up to eternal life. Use me as a channel through whom Your living water may be poured out to all with whom I come in contact, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You sought me out when I was dead in my sins and sinking deep into the miry pit of sin, self, selfishness, and seduction. Thank You that Jesus is the living water, in Whom alone are the words of eternal life. Thank You that You searched me out by convicting me of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement, so that by faith in Christ I have received Your free gift of salvation. May Your rivers of living water flow out through me to others who are in need of Your forgiveness. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, as I consider the Samaritan woman at the well, who came to Jesus, heard His message, and chose to drink of the living water He offered, it is wonderful to know that no one is excluded from drinking the living water of life that You offer. Thank You that the living water You offer is freely given, comes without cost, and becomes a living spring within, that wells up into eternal life. May I drink deeply from the fountain of Your supply and resist the temptation to do things in my own strength. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank You that Jesus is that well-spring of water that has been poured into my weary soul and is a well of water springing up unto everlasting life. Enable me to be a channel through whom Your love and refreshment may stream out to all those with whom I come in contact today so that they may know You as the water of their life. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You loved the world so much, that You sent Your only begotten Son to be Saviour of the world so that all who believe on Him would not perish but drink of the eternal water of life that only flows from Him. Thank You for my new life in Christ and the indwelling Holy Spirit. Thank You that I am a living stone that is being built up into the Temple of God, which is not made with hands, and thank You that one day You are coming back as Israel’s king and as Saviour of the world. Help me to worship You in spirit and truth, moment by moment. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your revelation to man through the holy Scriptures and in the Person of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Thank You that we are living stones being built up into a dwelling place for the living God. Thank You that I am in Christ and He is in me. May I worship You in spirit and in truth and give to You the glory and honour that is due to Your name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the beautiful example of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, Who lived His life in total dependence upon You and worshipped You in spirit and in truth. I pray that I may learn to depend on You fully and yield to the leading and guidance of your Holy Spirit in willing submission. I pray that I may abide in Christ and He in me, knowing that only as I rest in Him, will I be enabled to worship You as You as You deserve, in spirit and in truth. This I ask in Jesus' name. AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You sent Jesus to be born as a man Who was not subject to our limitations and fleshly leanings, but Who lived His life as the perfect example of a man. He walked in spirit and truth, trusting Your Word, in humble submission to the Holy Spirit, and in full dependence upon the Father. I pray that, like Christ, I may live my life trusting Your Word, in submission to the Holy Spirit, and in total dependence upon You so that I may worship You as You desire, in spirit and in truth, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for this beautiful story of this woman and the lovely way that Jesus opened-up the scriptures to her in order to reveal to her His person and work. Thank You that Christ has revealed Himself to me and that by faith in Him I have drunk of His living water and have a well of water spring up into everlasting life - Thank You in Jesus name, AMEN.
Loving Father, I thank You for the people in my life that have testified of Your grace and goodness and pointed me to Jesus. Help me not to idolize them and found my faith on them and what they say, but on Christ the Word of Truth Who is the only sure foundation. Give me wisdom and discernment, I pray. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many lessons we can learn from the Word of Truth. I pray that as I journey through life, I may not miss any precious encounters with Christ along the way. Help me to do all things to Your praise and glory, and in everything give thanks. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many lessons that You teach us through Your Word. Help me to keep my focus on Jesus and not become too obsessed with my own troubles and difficulties which can entrap my mind and cause me to dwell on my present woes, rather than on my future hope. Keep me alert to Your leading and ready to listen to Your voice, in every situation of life. Thank You for Your amazing grace, that through faith in Jesus I have not only been forgiven of my sin, but have been given all I need for life and godliness. In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, How easy it is to fall into legalism and hypocritical thinking by our short-sighted understanding of Your goodness and grace towards the human race and Your plans and purposes for the redemption of man. Keep me from narrow-minded, hypocritical religious thinking and may I act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with You all the days of my life - to Your praise and glory, this I ask in Jesus name. AMEN.
Heavenly Father, we thank You that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Who has become our current, continuous and eternal Sabbath rest. Thank You for Your plan of redemption and for Your ongoing work in the lives of both sinners.. and those that are saved by grace through faith. Thank You for my own salvation, justification, sanctification and future glorification. Thank You that You started a good work in me and I pray that it will be completed in the day of Christ Jesus, to His greater glory. May I rest in You, Who is my Sabbath rest - so that You may work through me for the benefit of others and for His praise and glory - this I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the perfect Godhead, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, all distinct, all equal, all One God. Thank You that You saved me by grace through faith in Christ. Keep me, I pray, from any form of religiosity or legalism, and guide me into all truth. Thank You that You have not given up on Your people and continue to convict men and women of sin, righteousness, and judgement. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the wonderful example of the Lord Jesus Christ Who laid aside His heavenly glory to be made in the likeness of sinful flesh so that in carrying out Your will, He paid the price for the sin of the world and demonstrated the way all Your sons and daughters should live - in humble obedience to Your will - only saying and doing those things that we hear from You. Help me to live as Jesus lived and to conduct my life in a manner that honours Your name, for Your praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Heavenly Father, thank You for the amazing lessons I learn from the Words of Scripture, the various people, the choices they make and the wonderful love of God that passes human understanding. Thank You for sending Jesus to become a man, so that He could not only die a sacrificial death for my sins, but also rise from the dead and become the Firstfruit from the dead. Thank You, that in Him are the words of eternal life, and by faith in Him I have already received eternal life, and because He lives, I too will rise from the dead in newness of life eternal. Keep me from falling into any legalistic thinking, and prevent me from missing an opportunity to come closer to Christ, in thought, word and deed. May many that remain dead in trespasses and sins, hear the good news with open minds and receive the blessings that are open to ALL who believe. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your amazing plan of salvation. Thank You for sending the eternal Son of God to become the perfect Son of Man, Who has become the life-giving Spirit to all who would believe on Him. Thank You, that all judgement is in His hand. Lord, without Your amazing plan of redemption, I would still be dead in sins and estranged from You. Thank You, that by faith in Him, my sins are forgiven and I have eternal life as a free gift of grace. Thank You, that I am no longer part of the old creation in Adam, but have become part of the new creation in Christ. I pray that many whose eyes are blinded to this truth would find their hope in Him. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the amazing plan of redemption. Thank You that the only way that You could save mankind from eternal separation from Yourself was to send Your dearly loved Son as the sacrifice for our sin so that under Your authority He could live a life of dependence on You and die as a perfect, sinless Man. Thank You that He was obedient to the point of death, and has received all power and glory for His faithfulness. Praise Your holy name, AMEN.
Loving Father, keep me ever mindful of Your Word and the truth that is contained in the plain message of Scripture and the glorious gospel of grace. I praise and thank You that I have passed from death to life, by believing on Jesus. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I do not know or understand a fraction of the cost for the eternal Son of God to come in the likeness of sinful flesh and willingly sacrifice His life for me, as the suffering Son of Man. But I praise and thank You that by His sacrificial death and glorious Resurrection, many who were dead in sins have heard His voice and been given a new-life-in-Christ for the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting. Praise His holy name, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank you that Jesus Christ became a Man to pay the price for my sins, and that through Him I have been given the gift of eternal life, Your life in me. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that I have been saved by grace through faith in Christ's sacrificial death and glorious Resurrection and have received His resurrected life within my mortal frame. Thank You that in Christ there is now no condemnation, but that in Him, I have already passed from death to life. Thank You that I have the assurance that at the Rapture, as either one who is alive and remain or one who is part of the dead-in-Christ who come forth from their earthly graves, I will be raised incorruptible, knowing that my life is now hidden with Christ. Praise His holy name forever and ever, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Your Holy Spirit convicted me of sin, righteousness, and judgement, and that by faith in Christ I have been saved by grace, justified in Your eyes, declared righteous because of Christ, and am assured of taking part in the first resurrection - the resurrection to eternal life. There are many who have rejected Your Word and turned away from the truth, causing them to remain under Your condemnation. I pray that while there is still time, many would hear the gospel of grace and put their trust in Jesus, and join us who have believed, in the first resurrection to life. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You for Jesus, my perfect example of how I should live to Your praise and glory. Help me to do only those things that are pleasing to You so that in all things so that I am enabled to say without fear and failure - THY will not mine be done - this I ask in Jesus name. AMEN.
Father, thank You for the holy Scriptures which You have given for our learning. Help me to read, mark, learn, inwardly digest, and believe all that You have purposed to reveal in Your Word. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the inspired Scriptures which point me to Christ. May I read them with understanding and be guided into all truth by Your Holy Spirit. Keep me from seeking to add to Your finished work of Calvary through my own works of the flesh. I know that eternal life is to be found by faith in Christ alone, and that I am only accepted by You because I am 'in Christ' and not because of anything that I could do. Praise His holy name, and draw me closer to Jesus as I read the Scriptures, day by day. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
We praise that thank You Heavenly Father that You have convicted us of our sin and the need of Christ for the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting.. but Lord there are many today who reject the truth of Scripture and the testimony that You are the eternal Son of God, Who is co-equal with the Father and a member of the co-eternal Godhead - Who came to earth to die for the sin of the whole world. Convict many today of their need of You we pray - and that before it is too late You will bring many into the kingdom for Jesus names sake we pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the Gospel of John and the glorious truth and wealth of information it contains about our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Thank You that He came to earth as the incarnate Word, the living Bread from heaven, and the Water of life, and that He lived, and died, and rose again, so that all may receive a new life in Him. Thank You that You sent Him to be Israel’s Passover Lamb and the precious Sacrifice for the sin of the whole world. I pray that every part of the Bible may remain vibrant to me and that You teach me more and more of the wonderful truth of Jesus. This I ask in His precious name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how wonderful to know that You are my Provider and Deliver, my Sustainer and Helper, my Hope and Strength, my Lord and my God. As the difficulties and dangers at home and abroad seem to increase with every passing day, I pray that my eyes will be looking away from the circumstances of life, which can become so overwhelming, by keeping the eyes of my heart fixed on Jesus Who created all things by the word of His mouth, upholds all things by the strength of His infinite power, and holds me fast in the palm of His hands - to Whom be all honour and glory, AMEN.
Lord, I have trusted You as my Saviour. Help me to continue trusting You for every step that I take in my life. Help me to believe in, "Him Who the Father sent," for it is only through the power of Your Spirit that I can do the works that God has prepared for me to do. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that in Your grace, You sent the Lord Jesus Christ to be my living Bread from heaven. In Him is abundant, eternal life, and in Him, I have all that I need to sustain my soul. Thank You that His broken body and shed blood are my nourishment, and that through His death and Resurrection, I have been made a new creation in Christ. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Father, Your Word is food for my soul and refreshment for my hungry heart. Thank You for sending Your precious Son into the world to be the Bread that came down from heaven to feed our hungry soul and give life to those that are dead in their sin. Thank You for the Person and work of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Keep me from carnal desires, establish my heart, and strengthen me with His Life, day by day. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that in Your mercy and grace, You sent Jesus to be the propitiation for our sins and that all who come to Him by faith will not be cast out. Thank You for this free gift of Your grace. Help me to share the good news with others who are dead in their sins and heading for eternal separation from You. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that the Lord Jesus set aside his position in heaven to come down to earth as a Man, to dress Himself in human flesh, and live a perfect life so that we might be redeemed by faith in His shed blood. Thank You that Jesus is the Living Bread of Life, and that in Him is eternal life for ALL who believe on His name. Keep me from developing carnal desires and fleshly appetites, and I pray that I may feed on Him in my heart, by faith with thanksgiving and praise, all the days of my life, for His greater praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Your Word contains all that I need for life and godliness. Thank You that while I was still a sinner and dead in my trespasses and sins, Christ died for me, and the Holy Spirit sought me out in love and convicted me of my need of a Saviour. Lord, I am looking forward with joyful anticipation for that day when this mortal body will put on immortality, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I am astonished at the simplicity of the good news of the gospel of grace - that whosoever believes on the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ will not die in their sins but be forgiven and have eternal life. Father, there are many that are trying to gain eternal life through their own good works and their own charitable acts and benevolent character. Open their eyes to the truth that we are all sinners in need of salvation and that no one comes to the Father except through faith in Jesus, the Son of God - through faith in the sacrificial offering of Himself on Calvary's Cross for the sin of the world. It is not Your will that any should perish but that all should turn from sin to Christ and acknowledge Him as Saviour. In Your anger against sin, show mercy to those that are lost in their trespasses and at enmity towards You. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Dear Lord, thank You for Your amazing love and grace that You have bestowed on me. Thank You for being the Living Bread which came down from heaven. Your love and grace is sustaining me and giving me life. Help me to take Your words to heart and to truly take them within my innermost being. As I take in Your Bread of Life, I will live forever. May I never forget the sacrifice You have made for me, that I may have eternal life. I am forever grateful for Your mercy and love. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that JESUS is the Bread of Life and that by partaking in His flesh and drinking of His blood we are cleansed from our sin and have received life everlasting.. To You be all praise and glory - in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus not only has life in Himself, but is the Giver of life to all who trust in Him as Saviour. Thank You that He is the living Bread Who came down from heaven as our Bread of Life and gave His life as a ransom for many. Thank You that in Him I have life, abundant life, eternal life. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Jesus into the world to be broken for me on the Cross and to shed His life-blood so that by faith I might live and be imparted with His eternal, resurrected life. To You be all praise and glory, AMEN.
Loving Father, when I don't understand Your words, or when Your truth conflicts with my built-up perceptions, I pray that I will be willing to listen to Your voice and to trust Your Word, for You alone have the words of eternal life. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that while I was still a sinner and dead in trespasses and sins, Christ died for me. Thank You that You sought me out and convicted me of my sin and my need of a Saviour. Thank You that You are the living God and that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Father. Thank You that He took the punishment on the Cross for my sin. Thank You that by faith in His name, I have been redeemed and placed into fellowship with You, through time and into the eternal ages to come. Praise Your holy name! AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I praise and thank You for the Word of truth and for opening Scripture to my understanding. Thank You that Jesus came to earth and was prepared to suffer the sneering taunts and shocking accusations from His own family members and His own nation, to die on the Cross so that by grace through faith I might believe on His name and be saved. Thank You that despite being rejected and crucified, Jesus is coming back to set up His eternal kingdom on earth. Give me a greater understanding of Your plans and purposes for mankind, and may I live and work for Your greater praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank You for the indwelling Holy Spirit and His ministry in the hearts of all those that are Your children. Give me a teachable spirit, I pray, and guide me into all truth. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I pray that I may know You more. Thank You for sending Your Son, my Saviour Jesus Christ, so that I might have life and be brought into close, personal, intimate fellowship with You. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus is the living Water that satisfies the thirsty soul and the heavenly Bread that feeds the hungry heart. Thank You that Jesus is the Rock of my salvation, Who was smitten for me on the Cross, and that by His death and resurrection, I have a new spiritual life that has found its satisfaction in You alone. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus Who is the living water and for the indwelling Holy Spirit Who becomes a well of water spiring up into everlasting life for whosoever will believe on Christ for the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting. To Him be all praise and glory for ever and ever, AMEN.
Thank You, Lord, for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Fill me, I pray, day by day, with more of Yourself, so that Your rivers of living water may flow through me to others who need to taste and see that Lord is good. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus is the Word of God made flesh. Thank You for the written Word of God which is living and powerful and contains the gracious words of eternal life. Thank You that by faith in the death, burial, and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus, I have received the forgiveness of sins, life everlasting, and the indwelling Holy Spirit of God to guide me into all truth. There are no words that are sufficient to praise and thank You for the sacrifice that Christ made for me at Calvary so that by faith in HIM, I have been made a child of God. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Father God, thank You that my sins have been forgiven and there is no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus. I confess that there are times when I have been critical of others, forgetting that my own sins were scarlet, but by Your grace have been washed white as snow. Lord, I want to live a life that is pleasing to You. I pray that Your new-life within may display the grace and love of the Lord Jesus towards others, in the same way that You show Your grace and love towards me. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the heart of compassion that Jesus showed to all around Him, fully aware that He would pay the price for their sins. Let me never forget that He bled and died as payment for every sin I have committed. Help me to share His compassion for those in my life, as I walk in newness of spirit and live a godly life to Your honour and glory. For You are my God and my Saviour, and I love You Lord, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, for giving me the Light of life in Jesus. I pray that I may so concentrate my gaze upon Him day by day, that I may live and move and walk and pray in a manner that is well-pleasing to You. In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You sent Your only begotten Son to be my Saviour and the Redeemer of the world. I pray that I may trust in the truth of Your Word which is recorded in the inspired Scriptures, so that whosoever believes on Christ Jesus for the forgiveness of sins will not perish but have everlasting life. Thank You in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that by grace Your Holy Spirit convicted me of sin and righteousness and judgement. Thank You that by faith in Christ, I have been set free from slavery to sin and given life eternal. Thank You, also, that I have been given free and unhindered access into the very presence of the Majesty on high, to Whom be all praise, might, majesty, dominion, and power... both now and into the eternal ages to come. Praise Your holy name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, this is a solemn teaching, and it grieves my soul that there are many, like the proud Pharisees, who reject Your offer of salvation. It grieves me to know that there are still foolish people, who like the leaders of the Jews, refuse to open their eyes and ears to the truth of the gospel of Christ. Soften the hearts of men, women, Jew, and Gentile alike, so that they may recognise Christ as Saviour, and place their trust in His sacrificial work at Calvary. Use me I pray, to spread the good news to unsaved people, so that they may hear, and believe and not die in their sins, but be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, our God, and our Saviour, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, it is wonderful to know that I have been born again into a new creation and can never die in my sins, because Christ took the punishment for me on the Cross, for which I am eternally grateful. But there are many who have not trusted in Christ for the forgiveness of their sin who will die in their sins if they do not hear and believe the good news of the gospel of grace. I pray that Your Holy Spirit would convict and convert many people of their need of Christ for the salvation of their soul, and use me to be a light to point the lost to Him. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, for all You did to draw me to Yourself. Thank You that I have the life of Christ, simply by believing on Jesus as my Saviour. You alone are worthy to be praised. Help me to live my life, day by day, in grateful thanks and praise for Your inestimable gift. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Heavenly Father, thank You that I have been born into Your family and have become Your child. Lord, I want to grow in grace and in a knowledge of You. Help me to dig deep into Your Word every day and hold fast to the truths I find so that I may really be Your disciple. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Lord, I want to know You more, abide in Your Word, and become a true learner of You. Help me, Lord, to learn of You and grow in grace, for I want to know the truth and to be set free from the bondage of sin - a freedom that only comes as I abide in You. I ask this in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what amazing grace that You should choose to redeem the fallen race of Adam and bring those that believe in His name out of the slave-market of sin by faith in Christ. Thank You that I have been released from the vice-like hold that sin has on my life. Thank You in Jesus' name the penalty of sin has been paid in full and the power of sin has been broken in my life. Thank You that in Christ I have the power of the indwelling Spirit of God to hold me steady - as I allow the life of Christ to rule in my heart. Thank You, Father, that in Christ I am no longer a slave of sin but have been set free through Him Who loved me and gave Himself for me. Praise His holy name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I confess that I have not only hurt other people, and especially those that are close to me, but I have offended You and ignored some of the warnings that I believe were directly or indirectly sent from You. Help me I pray to break free of this ungodly addiction and get on the road to recovery.
Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned against You and ignored the clear teaching of Your Word to live soberly, righteously and in the fear of the Lord and to walk circumspectly before You, as a child of the light. But I come to You in humble submission to ask You to help me to get on the road to addiction recovery, for I know that You have promised to lift-up all who come to You out of the miry pit, even when we have foolishly dug it for ourselves.
Help me be set free from alcohol, putting on the breastplate of righteousness, and for the helmet of salvation in Christ, in Whose name I pray,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank You that I am Your child. Keep me, I pray, from the sin of pride and unbelief. Please give me discernment in every area of my life, so that I do not fall prey to the lies of the devil. Help me to look to Jesus, moment by moment, and to walk in the Truth. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, I stand amazed in Your presence knowing that Jesus, my Saviour and Lord, came from His sovereign position on the eternal throne of Deity, to die for me. Truly, the Lord Jesus Christ is my Lord and my God, Who was, and is, and is to come. I worship You, my Lord, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Christ’s example of a man Who worked the works of God and Who used every precious moment to carry out Your will through His life. I pray that I may follow His example and live my life in complete submission to Your indwelling Holy Spirit. Give me the opportunity to share the gospel of reconciliation with others, knowing that the night is coming when none of us will be able to work. I pray that the good work that You started in me at salvation, will be completed to Your praise and glory at the coming of Christ, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, for lifting me out of the kingdom of darkness into Your glorious kingdom of light. May the light of Your love and grace shine in and through me, and may I be used by You as a reflection of the true Light that lights all those that come into the world. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the example of this blind man and His developing faith. I pray that I may have eyes to see the truth and not be influenced by the worldly mindset that seeks to discredit You and the Lord Jesus, Whom You have sent. Thank You that by faith I have become a citizen of heaven .. Give me boldness to proclaim the truth of the glorious gospel and keep me and all whom I love under the shadow of Your wing through time and into eternity - this I pray in Jesus name, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, that Jesus is my Good Shepherd and through Him, I can be restored into fellowship with You. Give me understanding, I pray, so that I may know You better. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus is all we need for life and godliness. Thank You that in Him are the words of eternal life and that He is the Good Shepherd of the sheep and the singular Door into the sheepfold. Thank You that in Him we have been made Your sons and daughters and that the many promises of God are ours, through faith in Him - not only in this world but in the ages to come. May I live and work to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, for Jesus the Good Shepherd Who laid down His life for me so that I might live with You forever. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus is the Good Shepherd and that He knows those that are the sheep of His pasture. Thank You that in Your grace, Jesus came to lay down His life for me. I pray that I may live my life to His praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus is the Good and Great Shepherd of the sheep and that He has brought me into his extended sheepfold and died so that I might live. Keep me ever mindful that there are hired hands who are not true pastors, and teachers who deliberately deceive the people of God or misguidedly lead your people astray because they lack sound, scriptural understanding. I pray that I would increase in my knowledge and understanding of Scripture, so that I will not be hoodwinked by a wolf in sheep's clothing or led astray by unbiblical teachings. Keep me looking to Jesus and help me to grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.

Dear Lord, how I praise and thank You that You sent Jesus to pay the price for my sins, to give me eternal life. How I worship my Saviour that He was not forced into laying down His life, for He was too powerful to be forced, but He did this willingly for me. Thank You that in His power, He rose from the dead so that I might live in newness of life in Him. Praise You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, I was lost but You called me and found me. You gathered me into Your loving arms and led me into Your heavenly sheep-fold. Continue to guard me and guide me, keep and protect me from all the perils and dangers of this life, for I trust Your Word and will follow You all the days of my life, continually praising You for Your loving kindness and gracious mercies. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, there have been times when I have questioned my eternal security in You, but You are my good and faithful Shepherd Whose Word is to be trusted, forever. Thank You that I am held so securely in the hands of my Lord and my Saviour, my God and my King, and that NOTHING can separate me from Your wonderful presence. Thank You for my gift of eternal life and the promise that nothing can snatch me from Your hand and no-one can separate me from Your gracious love. Glory to Your name forever and ever, Amen and Amen, Hallelujah!! AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for this glorious truth that Christ spoke, that He and His Father are one. Thank You that in His humanity, Jesus demonstrated how I may live as You intend all Your children to live, in total dependence, joyful obedience, and full submission to the Father's will. May I follow Christ's example, until like the apostle Paul, I may say, "It is not I that live in this body, but Christ Who lives in me." In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus is one with You in nature, character, will, authority, and power... for only He is good enough to pay the price for my sin. Thank You that He is the incarnate God Who became the Son of Man, so that He could die on the Cross for the sin of the world. More and more I see how truly offensive the exclusivity of the Gospel is to those who do not believe. Thank You for sending Your Holy Spirit to convict me of my sin, of righteousness, and of judgement. Thank You that by faith in Him, I have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Your dear Son. Open the eyes of those who have been blinded by Satan, so that they too may see the truth and turn to the Lord Jesus for the forgiveness of sin, in Whom are the words of eternal life. This I ask in Jesus' precious name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You are such a gracious God that despite our arrogance, foolishness, rebellion, and sin, You sent Jesus into the world to be our Kinsman-Redeemer, and that He willingly laid aside His heavenly glory to become our Saviour and to die on the Cross in our place. I pray that in the days ahead I would come to know Him more and to love Him better, for He alone deserves all honour and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the beautiful story of Lazarus and the many lessons I can learn from this amazing passage of Scripture. Thank You that sickness, sin, death, and hell, which is the inevitable result of all who fall short of Your glory, has been conquered forever through the death, burial, and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ on our behalf. Thank You that just as Mary and Martha’s period of misery was turned into laughter and joy, so my night of weeping has also been turned into a morning of joy with peals of singing, through faith in Christ my Redeemer. Thank You that because He lives, I too shall live. May I sing forth Your praise and glory in the eternal ages to come. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Lord, I just want to lift up my dear friend to You, who has been such a comfort and strength to me for so many years, but who has at last been admitted to a hospice where she is to pass her final few weeks of life in dignity and respect, as her life drains from her. Lord, I know that I am going to miss her so much.
Be with her Lord, every moment of the day and night. Thank You Father, that she is to be looked after in such a caring and understanding environment. Be with the staff who are to attend her as her life flows from her and Lord, I pray that she would be very aware of Your very presence with her, every moment of the day.
Lord, I know that she is ready and longing to meet You face to face, and I ask that You would keep her free from the pain and suffering that so often stalks the advancement of death. But praise God that the grave has lost its terrible sting and death has lost its victory, through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise Your holy name!
Lord, I know that I am going to miss my dear friend, but my sadness has such a wonderful tinge of hope and joy, for I know that soon we will all be together in Your company, where we will be free from all sickness and sadness, and You will wipe away every tear from our eyes. Thank You Lord, in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the beautiful example of Martha who trusted You in the most grievous of life's circumstances. Thank You that You are, indeed, the Resurrection and the life for all who trust in You. Help me to develop such a confident trust in Your Word that I am enabled to remain firmly settled in the faith, even when I am surrounded by life's greatest problems and pain. Help me to live my life by faith and not by sight. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the Scriptures that teach us the importance of having a heart that is right before You. Thank You that by faith in Christ I have been declared righteous and given everything I need for life and godliness. Help me grow in my Christian life and to live in a way that is well-pleasing to You. Search my heart, and cleanse me daily from impure thoughts that dishonour Your name. Thank You for sending Your dearly beloved Son to pay the price for my sin and freeing me from the mastery of sin in my life, through the power of a sanctified heart. Help me to abide in You and You in me so that my life may bear much fruit for Your praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, may I sit at Your feet and worship You with all that I am and all that I have. May the beauty of Jesus seep into my soul and become a life-giving fragrance of His love, to all with whom I come in contact today. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I praise and thank You that Jesus is the Seed of the woman who has crushed the head of the Serpent and that He is the Messiah of Israel Who came to fulfil Scripture and be crowned as their Messiah-King. I also thank You that You did not exclude the Gentiles from Your gift of salvation, but opened the life-gate so that whosoever will may come to You, may look and live and believe. Thank You that whosoever will may come and "SEE" the Lord Jesus and be saved by faith in Him. AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You for Your amazing plan of redemption and that the Lord Jesus was ready and willing to forgo all human glory and praise and be led as a lamb to the Cross, so that His death could pay the price for my sin and the sin of the whole world. Thank You that Jesus lived a perfect life, foregoing any honour, in order to be made sin on my account and died a cruel death on Calvary's Cross so that by faith in Him I might be forgiven of my sin and receive life everlasting. Praise Your Holy Name, and thank You, Lord Jesus, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, may I be willing to die to the things of myself and come to the place where I am able to put my old sinful nature in the place of death so that I may be raised up as a fruitful branch that honours my God and Saviour. Thank You that Christ has indeed, swallowed up death in victory - may I live only for His greater praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You for Your amazing plan of redemption, and that Jesus, the Holy Lamb of God, was willing to set aside His heavenly glory, be born into this fallen race, and be made sin instead of me... so that I might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Thank You that when He faced the trauma of the Cross and spiritual separation from You, that He chose to do Your will and glorify Your name through the sacrifice of Himself. Thank You, Father. I pray that I may be ready and willing to give my life as a living sacrifice for His name's sake and for His greater glory. This I pray in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I praise and glorify Your holy name for the life and witness of the lovely Lord Jesus Who came to earth to fulfil Your redemptive purpose and plan for the fallen race of mankind. Father, if it were not for His miraculous birth, sinless life, sacrificial death, and glorious Resurrection, I would still be dead in my trespasses and sin and at enmity with You. Thank You that through Your goodness and grace, You purposed and planned to redeem mankind through faith in His finished work. Thank You for saving me. Thank You for sending Jesus to be the sacrifice for my sin. Thank You that You loved me before I knew You and have brought me into Your heavenly family. May I live and work to Your praise and glory, from this day forward and even forevermore. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You that Jesus came to earth to die on the Cross and be judged in our place so that by faith in Him I might be forgiven of my sins and identified with His perfect righteousness. Thank You that through Him both the penalty of my sin has been paid and also the power of sin, Satan, death, and hell was broken at the Cross. Help me to keep the eyes of my heart on the Lord Jesus, and may I grow more and more like Him with each passing day. This I ask in Jesus' name and for His dear name's sake, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You sent Jesus to be the Light of the world, to enlighten our hearts and enrich our souls. Thank You for opening my eyes and guiding me into the way of truth. May the light of Your love continue to shine brightly in my heart. Guide me, by Your Spirit, to walk and abide in the Light of life, my Saviour, Jesus Christ. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, it is truly sombre to realise how man’s pride can be translated into unbelief and the shocking consequences of rejecting Jesus as the Word of God manifest in the flesh. Forgive me for the times when I have not been willing to listen to Your voice. I pray that I may become increasingly attentive to Your Word. Help me to keep looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith, and keep my ears open and attentive to His voice. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what a wonderful Saviour is Jesus. I stand amazed at His heart of love for me and for all who have trusted Him as Saviour. He did not need to leave His home in glory and die for my sin.. but He did it for love of me and for all who trust Him as Saviour. May we live to His praise and glory in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for this precious picture in the upper room, when in humble submission to the Father’s will, the Lord Jesus laid aside His garment and began to wash the feet of His bewildered disciples. Lord, there are many times in my life that I do not understand the reason that You allow certain things to happen, but help me to simply trust You in all things and enable me to pray, "Thy will not mine be done." Open my understanding to all that You are seeking to teach me, and may I grow in grace as I submit to Your will for my life. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Father, sometimes I become so familiar with walking with You, day by day, that I forget the wonder of Who You truly are. Excite in me a wonderment of Who You truly are and the amazing grace that has been bestowed upon me. May I live a life to the praise and glory of your wonderful grace. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Dear Heavenly Father, what a beautiful example the Lord Jesus Christ gave of how I should live my life. May I decrease in all I say and do so that the new-life in Christ may increase in me. May my life be one that is lived out in love and truth, and in humility and grace, so that Christ may be seen in me as I die to self and live to Him. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the example of godly living and holy behaviour that was seen reflected in the life of the Lord Jesus. I pray that I may walk as He walked and live my life as He lived... in spirit and in truth, in humble obedience to Your voice, in total dependence upon Your provision, and in grateful thanksgiving for all that You have done for me. Thank You in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Father, may I live as Christ lived in spirit and truth, in submission to the Holy Spirit, and in obedience to Your will. May I love as Christ loved so that in myself I become nothing, in order that Christ may be seen in me and I can show forth His love in my life, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Lord, I want to learn of You, to know You more, and to love You better, to walk in spirit and truth, to grow in grace, and in a knowledge of my Saviour, Jesus Christ. I want to love others as You love me. Let my life be a true testimony to the world that I am Your child, Your friend, Your bond-servant, and Your disciple, so that my life may bring honour to Your name. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus. Thank You that He was prepared to be the sacrifice for my sin and for the sin of the whole world. Thank You that He endured the Cross and all the suffering and pain that was inflicted on Him, the sinless Son of God, the perfect Son of Man, the spotless Lamb of God. I pray that I may know Him more and more and that I would be ready and willing to fellowship in His suffering here on earth, during my sojourn in a world that despises His name and rejects Your offer of salvation. I pray that many whose ears have been blocked and eyes blinded to the truth, would be convicted of their sin and place their trust in Him, before it is too late. Use me in whatever capacity You choose, and may I live, work, and if necessary die, for His dear name’s sake. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the life, the ministry, and the example of Peter, the apostle who holds such a special place in the hearts of all who have trusted Christ for salvation. Like Peter, sometimes my faith falters and I let you down by relying on my own abilities, instead of trusting in Your sufficient strength. But You are always faithful to forgive my foolishness and return me into fellowship with Yourself, when I confess my faults. I pray that my zeal and love for the Lord Jesus would continue to develop and grow, so that like Peter, I would be bold in my faith and in the power of Your Holy Spirit, I would have the sufficient strength to overcome every difficulty in life. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the lessons we can learn from Peter and man's inability to do the good and eschew the evil - except in the strength of our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Thank You that there is no sin too great that You will not forgive, for those that humbly acknowledge their need of salvation - through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Keep me from falling into the trap of pumping up my own self-confidence instead of trusting in Your sufficient strength, when faced with temptation and trial. Keep me humble before you and use me in the furtherance of the gospel of Christ. This I ask in His precious name, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank You for Christ's wonderful words of comfort, "Let not your heart be troubled..." Thank You that God the Son came to earth as the Son of Man to bring comfort to my heart, healing to my soul, and live in my spirit. Enable me, in the power of the Spirit, to hold fast to this wonderful truth in Your Word, and I pray that You endow me with the wisdom, the words, and the grace, to pour forth Your comfort to others who are facing their own difficult trials. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Heavenly Father, thank You that I am Your child and that the Lord Jesus is at this very moment, preparing a place for me in the heavenly Jerusalem. Hasten the day when I will be with You forever, in Your house. Oh happy day! Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank You for Jesus. How wonderful to know that one day He is returning to take me to be with Himself, forever. Thank You for Your many reassurances which are 'yes' and 'amen' in Him. I trust Your Word, for You are my faithful and true heavenly Father. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Father, familiarity with Scripture has sometimes prevented me from seeing the astonishing truth behind so much of Your Word. Open my understanding to grasp, believe and act on these simple yet profound truths. In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN.

Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus Christ came into the world to save us from our sins, to die on the cross for the forgiveness of sins and that all Who believe on Him have life everlasting. Help me to carry out the work that You have prepared for me to do while there are still souls that need to know the truth of the glorious gospel of grace - that Christ died for our sins, that He was buried and rose again so that all who believe on Him will not perish but have everlasting life. This I ask in Jesus name, AMEN
Heavenly Father, thank You that Christ died for my sins, and rose again to give me His new, resurrected life so that in the power of the Spirit, I may love as He loved. Lord, I cannot love as Christ loves in my own fleshly strength, but only as I submit to the work of Your Holy Spirit, only as I walk in spirit and truth. May the love of Christ flow through me to others so that Christ’s love is seen in me. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Oh, thank You Lord Jesus, my heavenly Vine, for the fullness of Your blessing towards me. I want to know and understand more and more of what it means to simply rest in You. May I abide in You, in sweet union with my Saviour and remain in blessed communion with You in ever closer intimacy.
Teach me, Lord, and train me to rest in Your love. Guard me and guide under the shelter of Your canopy, and reveal more and more of Yourself to me I pray,
Amen.
Thank You, Father, for sending Your Holy Spirit to be with me always, and to live within me.

In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Thank You, Heavenly Father, for Your amazing plan of salvation which has rendered sin, death, and hell, powerless in the lives of all who trust in Christ for salvation.

Loving Father, how wonderful to know that I have the Holy Spirit of God living in me, teaching me the truth of Your Word and guiding my steps. Thank You that my frail body has become a temple in which He has come to reside forever. Open my understanding to the immeasurable riches of Your grace toward me, knowing that at this very moment Your Holy Spirit is resident within me. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, for Your words of comfort. Help me to keep these precious words of Jesus at the forefront of my mind in this increasingly anti-God society, when the very foundations of earth are being shaken and all I believe in is being attacked.

In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that in Christ I have been brought back into fellowship with You and adopted into Your family.

I understand that trials and tribulations are common to all men, but that those who follow You will inevitably suffer persecution for righteousness sake. Thank You that You have promised to keep me through the difficulties, dangers, persecution, and pain that all who live godly lives in Christ will suffer. I am so thankful that You intimately understand how I feel when the world hates me, because it hated You first.

Thank You, that Jesus came as Saviour of the world, was ready to stand before Pilate, and endured the cross for love of me.

This I ask in His precious name, AMEN.
Father, I thank You for the eternal plan of salvation, which required the shame of the Cross of Christ before the joy of the Kingdom’s Crown. Thank You that Satan is a defeated enemy. May I live in the world, but not be a part of this fallen world system, and use me to proclaim Your truth to others. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Dear Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You that Jesus came to seek and to save those that are lost and, in His grace, made a good confession before Pilate that He came into the world to testify of the truth of God's Word and bring to salvation all who hear His voice and trust in His saving grace.

May I be a faithful witness to the truth of the gospel. In Christ's name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, as I contemplate those who were implicated in the terrible and unjust treatment of the Lord Jesus Christ, may I not be one who carelessly points an accusing finger at those who condemned Him, knowing that I am also to blame - for while I was a still a sinner, Christ died for my sins so that by His grace through faith, I might be saved from eternal condemnation. He is indeed worthy of all praise and glory. Thank You in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, the more I think about the cross the more I begin to understand the immensity of what the Lord Jesus did for me and for the whole world. Thank You that I have come to an understanding of Who Jesus is and what He has done for me so that by faith in Him I am free from all condemnation.. forgiven of my sins and eternally secure in Christ.

Heavenly Father, I praise You for the Word of God that opens up my understanding of Your perfect plan of salvation and Your great wisdom, power, compassion, and grace. Thank You for sending Your Son to be our Kinsman-Redeemer and that He was willing to set aside His glory for a time to come to earth as a Man and live a perfect, sinless life to qualify Him to pay the price of sin - a price that we fallen sinners can never attain. I pray that the tender, loving kindness He showed to His mother when He placed her into the care of John, may be forthcoming in my own life, as I die to myself and live for Him alone. This I ask in Jesus' name AMEN.
Loving Father, it amazes me that Your Son would even call out for a drink so that all Scripture concerning my salvation was made secure in Him. There are times when I foolishly doubt Your Word, but You are a faithful God whose Word can be trusted in every detail. Teach me more of You, for I want to know You better and love You more. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your finished work on Calvary and for all You suffered for me. All was accomplished so that I could live forever with You in heaven and not fear any condemnation because I am in You. Praise Your holy name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that no one is beyond Your ability and desire to be saved by grace through faith in Christ, and thank You that You are ready and willing to use anyone whose heart is open towards You. Increase my longing and love for You and help me to live by faith and not by sight. Thank You that Your Word is altogether true and trustworthy and prevent me from being influenced by the circumstances that surround me rather than looking to Jesus and trusting Your Word. Thank You that I have been born anew and placed into Your eternal family. Look down in compassion and grace on lost souls and bring many more into Your kingdom. This I pray for Christ's sake, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ. I am humbled and grateful for the privilege of being able to read Your Word and the truths it contains, thank You for Your love and grace in sending Jesus to be the substitute for our sin. Thank You for His sacrificial death and glorious Resurrection, and that by believing in Him, I have life everlasting. Help me to stand strong in my faith and keep me from allowing my feelings and senses to override the truth of Your Word. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus. Thank You that He died to pay the price for my sins, and thank you that He rose again so that I might have His abundant, resurrected-life within me, in the Person of the indwelling Holy Spirit. I am not worthy to gather up the crumbs under Your table, and yet You stooped down to rescue me and adopt me into Your heavenly family. To You be all praise and glory forever and ever, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that I have peace with God by grace through faith in Christ's finished work and thank You that in Him I have the peace of God to guard my heart and mind in the midst of a perverse and crooked generation.

Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus is our risen, ascended, and glorified God and Lord, Who died to redeem us and Who rose to give us His resurrected life.

Thank You in Jesus' holy name, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, for opening my spiritual eyes of faith to see You and the lovely Lord Jesus. I pray that I will not rely on senses or emotions to inform me of Your love and grace, but will trust the truth of Your Word. Strengthen my faith in You today, Lord. And send me out as a messenger to proclaim You as my Lord and my God. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and for the truths that it contains. Thank You that my salvation does not depend on what I do, but on what Christ did on the Cross on my account. Thank You that the truth of the glorious gospel of Christ has been written for my learning and that by believing on Him, I have been forgiven of my sins, accepted in Christ, and have received eternal life. Praise His holy name, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, for the Scriptures that have started to open up all that Jesus was, and is, and is to be. I pray that in both time and eternity, You will continue to open my heart to a deeper understanding of Jesus. Praise Your holy name, AMEN.
