Father thank You that my sins have been forgiven and that there is no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus.

Heavenly Father, this is a solemn teaching, and it grieves our soul, that there are many, like the proud Pharisees, who reject Your offer of salvation. It grieves us 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, Jews and Gentiles 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 Saviour, in Whose name we 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, and 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 of their need of Christ for salvation - and use me to be a light to point the lost to Him - this I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.

Loving Lord I want to know You more and 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 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, and release us from the vice-like hold that sin has on our lives. Thank You in Jesus name.. and I pray that I will not allow sin to have any further rule over me... for in Christ I know, that I have the power of the indwelling Sprit of God to hold me steady - as I allow the life of Christ to rule in my heart. Thank You in Jesus name, AMEN.
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 I pray me 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 grace, and for helmet – the hope of salvation in Christ , in Whose name I pray,
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.

Thank You Father that Your eternal Son came to earth as a perfect Man and voluntarily gave His life to pay the price for my sins and that He took up His life once again so that I may have newness of life in Him – forever. Praise Your holy name, AMEN.
Dear Lord - how I praise and thank You that You sent Jesus to pay the price for my sins and be given eternal life - and how I worship my Saviour for rising from the dead so that I might live in newness of life in Him. Help me to live as unto You from this day forward, in Jesus name I pray. AMEN
Loving Father – I was lost but You called me and found me and 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 praise You for Your loving-kindness and gracious-mercies, all the days of my life, in Jesus name I pray, 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.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the beautiful story of Lazarus and the many lessons we 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 a laughter and joy, so our night of weeping has also been turned into a morning of joy with peals of singing - through faith in Christ our Redeemer. Thank You that because He lives we too shall live. May we sing forth Your praise and glory in the eternal ages to come, in Jesus' name we pray, AMEN.

Thank You that whosoever will may come and "SEE" the Lord Jesus. and be saved by faith in Him. AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how we 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.

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.
