Heavenly Father, we praise and thank You for the word of truth and for opening scripture to our 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, and to die on the cross, so that by grace through faith I might believe on His name and be saved. Thank You that Jesus came to live among His people and despite being rejected and crucified, 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.

Heavenly Father, so many people have fallen into the devastating, downward spiral of alcoholism, and yet in Your grace and mercy we see so many that are being freed from their addiction to alcohol and many more that are coming to faith the Lord Jesus Christ, as a result of a crisis point in their lives, which has so often taken them to the depths of despair.
Thank You Lord for all who have been rescued from alcoholism and for those that have supported them through it.We know that the enemy comes to steal and to kill and to destroy men and women, by enticing them into a life of alcoholism and other evil addictions, but we thank and praise You that Jesus came to destroy the works of the evil one and promised to give life abundantly, to all who trust in Christ as Saviour.
We thank You for all those who are currently being helped to leave their life of alcohol addition behind, and we pray that each one will come to a saving knowledge if Christ and know You as Saviour and Lord – this we ask in Jesus name,
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 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.
Loving Lord, I recently had an abortion because I was pregnant and did not want to have another baby – but since going through the abortion Lord, I find that I am beset about by guilt and my heart feels as if it is torn in two.
Lord You have promised to be close to those whose hearts are breaking – I know that what I did was wrong, because You are the Lord of life, but Father You are also the great God of comfort and the Comforter that has promised to be with us always and to comfort us in our distresses.
Lord I have just read the prayer ‘I Had An Abortion,’ and I thank You that You died to pay the price for all my sins, including this abortion. Lord I know that any deep wound takes much time to heal, but I pray Lord that You would start to mend my broken heart today and to soothe my smarting soul.
Give me the comfort that only comes from You to face the future, knowing that in Your sight I am pure and forgiven– and thank You for Your great assurance that there is no sin that is so bad that You are unwilling to forgive.
Thank You in Jesus name,
Amen
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Jesus to be the sin-sacrifice for the whole world. Let me never forget what it cost You to pay the price for my sin. Let me never forget that You bled and died as payment for every sin I have committed. Help me to 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

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 might, majesty, dominion and power.. both now and into the eternal ages to come - praise His holy name, AMEN.
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.
Thank You Father for all You did to draw me to Yourself. Thank You that I have the life of Christ, simply be believing on Jesus as my Saviour. You alone are worthy to be praised. Help me to live my life day be day in grateful thanks and praise for Your inestimable gift, in Jesus name I pray, 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.
Heavenly Father, thank You that I am Your child. Keep me I pray from the sin of pride and unbelief. Help me to look to Jesus moment by moment and to walk in newness of life and to be ready to give an answer for the hope that I have in You. This I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.

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.

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.

I praise You that You have given me life and made me a new creation in Christ and thank You Father, that You have a special purpose for my life too. Thank You that by Your grace You are carrying out Your purposes in the lives of all Your children - that Christ is all and in all and I pray that this may be realized in my life too.
Enable and equip me I pray, to fulfill the plan and purpose that you have for me to do and I ask that You would use each gift and every talent that You have graciously given to me, to Your praise and glory.
Help me to fulfill all that You would have me do in my life and may I be obedient to Your voice as I seek to carry out Your purpose for my life. May I rejoice evermore and pray without ceasing.

Dear Loving Lord, how grieved I am that my precious grandchild whom I love so dearly has chosen to walk away from you and to seemingly forge a future without God in their life.
Lord You know that this dear grandchild has been taught the truth of Scripture from the cradle and has been covered in pray from many quarters – even before being born. And Lord, You know that as a child they were taught the truth of the Lord Jesus and even made a commitment at an early age to accept You as their Saviour… Father it grieves and saddens me and I plead with You to intervene in their life and bring them back to You..
Father I know that nothing can snatch Your little lambs from Your hands or Your Father’s hands –and I trust You Lord, that You will keep Your hand upon my grandchild so that they return into Your loving arms of forgiveness….
Thank You Lord that even we become careless and unfaithful to You- You never give up on us.. Lord I trust the future of my grandchild into YOUR hands and pray that whatever it takes – You would draw them back into the way of truth, in Jesus name I pray,
Amen
Heavenly Father, thank You for this glorious truth that Christ in His humanity demonstrated how I may live, as you intend all your children to live.

Heavenly Father, thank You that You are such a gracious God that despite our arrogance; foolishness; rebellion and sin that You send 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.

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 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.

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.
Thank You Father that I am Your child and that I have a citizenship laid up for me in the heaven, from which we await our coming Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Help me to keep looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith, and keep my ear open and attentive to His voice - in Whose 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I pray that my zeal and love for the Lord Jesus would continue to develop and grow, so I would be bold in my faith and that in the power of Your Holy Spirit I have the sufficient strength to overcome every difficulty in life. Thank You ... and it is 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 humble 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 this wonderful word of comfort.

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.

Heavenly Father, thank You that in Christ I have been brought back into fellowship with You and adopted into Your family.

Loving Father more and more I see that when I try to do things in my own strength I will fail and not produce the fruit that glorifies You. I long that my life is lived as Christ lived – in total reliance in the Spirit of God, so that I only do those things that are prompted by You, in His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, teach me how to abide in Christ and He in me. Teach me to live my life as You would have me to live in total dependence upon You, which is the life of Christ being lived through me, so that I may produce the good fruit in my life that is honouring to You.

Thy will not mine be done, as I pray into Your will.. so that whatsoever I ask may be done to honour You. Thank You in Jesus name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, help me to live my life as unto the Lord. Help me to honour You.

But Father I know that I can only produce spiritual fruit that glorifies You as I learn to depend fully on You.. to rest in Your love, to abide in You and to allow You to live Your life through me, as I humbly submit to Your leading and guidance. Help me I pray to bear much fruit to Your praise and glory - in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Thank You heavenly Father that You loved me so much that You sent Your Son to die for me. And thank You Lord Jesus for Your immeasurable love towards me.

Heavenly Father I pray that I may abide in You and You in me and that Your will for my life may be carried out to Your praise and glory. Thank You that the joy of the Lord is my strength and I pray that my life may be a living sacrifice unto You. Help me to abide in You moment by moment and day by day so that I may be fruitful and bring much glory to You in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I know that in and of myself I cannot love others in the same way that Christ loved me - unless I surrender my life completely into Your hands - so that His Spirit of love may flow through me to others.. until it is not I that live in this body - but Christ that lives in me.
