Heavenly Father, keep me, I pray, from hypocritical thoughts and unrighteous judgement of others. But please give me the wisdom and discernment I need to judge between that which is good and that which is evil. Keep me walking humbly before You, and help me to always consider the needs of others before my own. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank You for breaking down the barrier between God and man and permitting me to come into Your holy presence in prayer, for mercy to find help in time of need. Help me to pray and keep on praying in spirit and in truth. Help me to pray purposefully and persistently, and in accordance with Your will... and may I learn to ask in faith, to seek You with all my heart, and to knock with patient endurance so that I may live according to Your will. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for laying out so clearly the principles and practices that should govern our lives as we die to self and live for God. Thank You for Your loving promise that You will answer everyone who asks, seeks, and knocks. Lord, at times I have tried to do things in my own strength, only to fail. Forgive me, Lord. Give me an understanding heart and the desire to live, work, and pray, in a manner that honours Your holy name. I praise and thank You that You are my sole Provider. May I pray according to Your will, seeking to grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus, and submitting to the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Lord, how privileged I am that You are my Heavenly Father Who loves each one of Your children with an everlasting love and provides all we need, according to Your riches in glory. Thank You that You loved me enough to send Jesus to die for my sins, and that You delight to give good gifts to Your children. Lord, I know too often I have tried to provide for my own needs without asking You, or I have lost faith and stopped seeking You when an answer is delayed. I realise how this must sadden Your heart. Thank You that You have provided over and above all that I could ask or think, not only in this world but in the ages to come. This I pray in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I pray that all that I say and do, may only be that which is honouring to You. May my actions, attitudes, and the innermost motives behind my thoughts and words, be pleasing to You and a reflection of Christ in me. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that in Christ, I have been saved by grace and have an eternal inheritance kept for me in heaven. I pray that I may die daily to all that is of self and live every day of my life for Christ. Help me to choose to enter the narrow gate of disciplined, dedicated discipleship, which leads to an abundant life here on earth. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that in Your grace, You brought me to an understanding that the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life. Thank You that by faith in Christ, I have found the Way to life and discovered Him to be the truth of the glorious gospel of grace. I pray that You would have pity on those that remain dead in their sin. Have mercy on those who through pride and their own self-sufficiency, have not yet found the narrow way that leads to life. Use me I pray, in whatever way You choose, to speak the truth in love to those who are on the broad way to destruction, and bring many into Your kingdom this day, I pray. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the warnings of false prophets and teachers in your Word. I pray that you would guard the hearts and minds of all your children and protect them from false prophets and ungodly teachers who seek to devour the flock. Help us all to identify the fruit of those in positions of leadership in the Church who come to us in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. Lord, give us discernment to know the truth and reject those who do not honour Your will. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
