Loving Father, it is my desire that I too walk in Your ways and keep from foolish compromise with the world system. Keep my heart set on the Lord Jesus so that my thoughts are not influenced by the mindset of this current age. May I be like the man planted by Your many rivers of grace and love, joy and peace. May Your mercy and compassion flow through me to those around me, in the place where you have planted me. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your written Word. Help me to read it, to meditate upon it, and to apply its truth to my life. May I not be conformed to this world but, day by day, become more and more like Jesus Christ, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the beautiful description of the man or woman who is like a tree firmly planted by streams of living water, yielding the blessed fruit of righteousness and prospering through Your never-failing provision. I pray that I may not be induced to walk in the way of the world, nor compromise my Christian faith. Thank You that I have all I need for life and godliness. I pray that all I do and everything I say, is done for Your greater praise and glory. Help me to be a worthy witness of Your loving-kindness and a living testimony of God's great love. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Dear Lord and Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus is my worthy High Priest Who has walked this earthly pathway before me. Thank You that He knows and cares about the difficulties I face in my earthly walk. Thank You that the Holy Spirit is accompanying me through all the changing scenes of life and is with me in every daily task I undertake. May I rest in Your love more each day, in the assurance that You know the path I take and that You are bringing to completion the good work that You have started in me. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that in Your grace You have told us the end from the beginning and have promised that we are safe and secure in Your gracious hands. Lord, there are many individuals, leaders, and nations, that are raging against You and conspiring against the Lord Jesus Christ, and the world seems to be spiralling out of control. Thank You that Your Word stands fast forever and that the day is coming when Christ will rule this earth with equity and justice. You will break those that oppose Your plans and purposes and dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel. Blessed are those that put their trust in You, and blessed is the Lord our God, for His mercy and grace endures forever and ever. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You purposed to redeem mankind through the sacrifice of a Kinsman-Redeemer and decreed that the eternal Son of God would be born into the human race as the perfect Son of Man.

Help me to sleep and thank You for my toys and thank You for the fun day that I have had, and thank You for my food.
Thank You for Jesus, Who died on the cross and thank You that He rose again from the dead, and thank You for loving me, even when I do things that are wrong.
Amen.
Heavenly Father, the increasing violence and wickedness in this world and the terrors that seem to increasingly stalk my path, have too often caused me to divert my attention onto my mounting problems, instead of looking to Jesus and trusting Your Word. Thank You that no matter what happens in this world, You have promised to be with me. You are my Provider and Protector, my Defence and Defender. Thank You for Your indwelling Holy Spirit and Your peace that passes understanding, where I can rest in Your love and praise Your holy name. And thank You that I have been brought into Your family, by grace through faith in Jesus. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the example of David who, despite the multitude of enemies that sought his destruction, and in spite of the many trials and tribulations he was called upon to face, remained a man after God’s own heart by trusting You through all the changing scenes of his life. Help me to cast all my cares on You and to rest in Your love, knowing that You have promised to supply Your sufficient grace in all the trials I may be called upon to face. Help me to depend on You alone so that the life of Christ may be lived in me, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I praise You that You are a faithful God and pray that You would lift up Your countenance upon me, O Lord, and give me Your peace in my heart, this day and forevermore, AMEN.
Father, as we come to the end of another very busy day, we praise and thank You for the gift of sleep and the wonderful way that the night-time hours seem to sweep away all our cares, and melt away all our worries, as we rest in You.
Thank You, that we may confidently cast all our cares and concerns upon You and lay all of our burdens down at Your feet, knowing that You love us with a perfect love and care for us with Fatherly concern.
Keep us safe this night from any perils and dangers, and lighten the darkness of these night with Your perfect peace, You gracious tranquillity and Your serene grace
Protect us we pray, through the hours of darkness, knowing that there are many danger and much wickedness that may stalk outside our home, but thank You that You are our shield and protection, our rock of salvation, our hope and strength.
Purify our minds, comfort our hearts, soothe our souls and give us all a good nights sleep we pray, for we are Yours, and You have promised that You would give Your beloved children refreshing sleep and rejuvenating rest in the night-time hours.
May the angel of Your presence, who is the Lord Jesus Himself, encamp around us tonight and protect us under the shadow of His wings.
And so Father, into Your hands we commend our spirit, and pray that You would wake us up in the morning, refreshed and ready to do Your will. This we ask in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your mercies which are new every morning. Help me to be regular, systematic, orderly, and faithful in my prayer-life.

Heavenly Father, lead me in Your righteous ways, for I have many enemies and some who wish me evil. Make Your way straight before my face, I pray, and may Your will not mine be done, to Your praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Dear Lord as I settle down once again for the night I pray for Your healing touch on every part of my life – both spiritual and physical. Lord You know all the little niggles and pains that I am going through at the moment, and I pray for Your healing touch upon every area of my life in general.. and for relief from the aches, pains and problems that I have in my body, in particular.
Ease away all the stresses and strains of the day and heal the physical problems I have. And I pray that in Your goodness and grace You would give me a good, pain-free nights sleep so that I may wake refreshed in body, soul and spirit, ready to do Your bidding - this I ask in Jesus name,
Amen
Heavenly Father, thank You that You are a God that hears and answers prayer. Help me to look to You to supply all my needs, according to Your riches in glory. Keep me from looking at the circumstances of life, but let me look to Christ, my Life and my Healer, my Shield and my Defender, my Hope and my Salvation. And I pray that I never take Your precious promises for granted, but give You the reverence and glory due to Your name. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the book of Psalms which provides such encouragement and hope when we find ourselves immersed in sorrow and pain, or being mocked and abused by those who despise us. Help me to submit to You, resist the devil, and maintain my hope in Christ. I know that the time is fast approaching when You will right all wrongs and judge the world in righteousness. Search my heart, I pray, and show me if there is any sin that needs to be confessed. Thank You that I have the sufficient strength to come through every circumstance of life victoriously, when I keep my eyes on Jesus and maintain my faith in His unchanging Word. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the example that David set when he was pursued by his enemies, falsely accused, and persecuted for righteousness' sake. Thank You that my hope is in You. Thank You for Your promise to vindicate all Your people who are unjustly accused, or have been hotly pursued by the enemy of our soul. Give me a heart that trusts You, no matter what difficulties or dangers may cross my path. I pray that, like David, my hope will be built on nothing less than the Lord Jesus Christ and His perfect righteousness. Thank You that my salvation does not depend on what I have done, but on Who Christ is and what He has done on my account. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You that the evil of wicked men will one day be judged, and those that have been accused unjustly by people who are at enmity with God, will one day be vindicated. Thank You that Christ’s death on the Cross conquered sin and death and that all who trust in Christ as Saviour will one day be exonerated. Help me to patiently endure in these increasingly dark days, and may my life be pleasing to You. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, I stand amazed when I consider the insignificance of man in the context of the splendours of the extended universe, and yet, You loved me so much that You gave Your only begotten Son to pay the price for my sins. For this I give You eternal praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
O Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth. Thank You that You are mindful of me, mindful of man. I am astonished that You should love this race of fallen man so much that You sent Your Son to become a Man and live a perfect life so that I might be saved from my sins by faith in Him. Thank You that by grace through faith in Christ, we will witness the full and final restoration of man’s appointed position as Your chosen representative, when Christ returns from heaven to rule and reign. Thank You for all that You have done for me. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the great encouragement from the wonderful Word of God. How I praise You that the day is coming when You will judge the ungodly in righteousness. Help me to look to You no matter what difficulties and dangers arise in my life. May my trust in You be strengthened with every passing day, as I continue to prove Your faithfulness to the truth of Your Word. Praise God that Your Word abides forever and that You have established Your throne in righteousness and justice. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank You that in Christ I know Your name, Your character, and Your amazing grace, which is poured out in such abundance on all who trust in the Lord Jesus as Saviour. I pray that my heart may seek You more and more with each passing day, and I ask that You would increase in me a deeper longing to know You more, and to love You better. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Dear God, I know that it is Your will to help those that are afflicted, to support the weak, to provide for the widows and orphans and to help those that are in need.
Use my hands to be of service to those in need, and use my voice to speak words of healing and encouragement to those that are afflicted and in distress. Thank You for hearing my prayer. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, I lift up my brothers and sisters who are suffering in so many places of the world. Arise, Lord, and lift up Your hand. Hear the cries of Your people and send them swift deliverance. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the opportunity for us to once again examine our hearts during this lovely time of Advent, and the faith in Christ Jesus that we confess.
Keep our hearts aglow with love for Jesus, and help us to wonder more and more about amazing the grace that You have shown towards sinful man, in sending Your only begotten Son to come to earth, as a tiny human baby, so that He could bear the punishment for the sins of the whole world on His holy shoulders.
It never ceases to amaze us that Christ Jesus should set aside His heavenly glory and be conceived of the Holy Spirit by the virgin Mary, birthed into the human family as the promised Seed of the woman, and be worshipped as a tiny baby in a humble stable at Bethlehem, by simple shepherds and singing angels alike.
It was Love incarnate that visited the earth so many years ago, and that same love saved us from our sins, and came to dwell within the hearts of all that trust in Jesus as Saviour. Heavenly Father, accept our grateful sacrifice of praise, and may we come to know You more and love You better in the days that lie ahead. In Jesus' name we pray,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, there are times that I feel overwhelmed by all that is coming on the earth. Evil is waxing worse and worse, and all godly foundations of truth are being eroded by a God-hating, Christ-rejecting world. May I read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest Your Word of truth so that, in Christ, I may stand fast in this evil day. You are my foundation and the Rock upon which I stand, an eternal foundation Stone which can never be shaken, for You alone are God. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, my confidence is in You alone. As I see the inevitable economic collapse, great political struggles, outrageous atrocities, national and international unrest, and a move to outlaw all that is good and righteous, my eyes are fixed on You and my trust is in You - for You are my Defence and Defender, my Rock and my Fortress, and I trust in Your unfailing Word. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, the world seems to be spiralling out of control, but I praise and thank You that You are in control and that it is not Your will that any should perish, but that all come to faith in Christ for salvation. Use me to be a true witness to the truth of the glorious gospel of grace, and as the world is sinking deeper into sin, use me to help rescue those that are perishing, to your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, it seems that the wicked prowl around as a roaring lion seeking to destroy and slander all that is good and holy. Thank You that I am Your child and I will not fear what man can do to me for I know that I am kept secure in the cleft of My Jesus, and nothing can pluck me out of His hands, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the example of David who despite the many problems, pressures, disappointments, and pain that he was called upon to suffer, trusted in Your never-failing promises and kept in his remembrance Your never-ending faithfulness. Help me to follow his example when life’s pressures bear down on me, and keep me under the shadow of Your goodness and grace. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I trust in You and thank You that there are no circumstances of life that You do not know about. Thank You that in all things I am more than a conqueror through Christ Who loved me and gave Himself for me. May I rejoice in the Lord at all times and in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, make my requests known to You for I have trusted in Your loving-kindness and my heart rejoices in God my Saviour. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, when I consider the depth of depravity to which humanity has fallen and the amazing redemptive price You paid to redeem my life from the pit of destruction, I can only praise and thank You with all my heart, and soul, and mind, and strength. May I never become indifferent to my great salvation or complacent in my Christian walk. May I live each day to Your praise and glory for You alone are worthy of all my praise and honour, not only in this world but throughout the eternal ages to come. Thank You heavenly Father, in Jesus' precious name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, in the knowledge that mankind has fallen into such moral decay, I praise and thank You that in Your goodness and grace, You prepared a way of salvation - that all who would trust in the death, burial, and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ would have forgiveness of sin and life everlasting. I pray that while there is still time, many ‘fools’ who have denied the existence of Your Person and the truth of Your Word, would be convicted of their sins and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin and life everlasting. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that by grace through faith I have the privilege to enter into the presence of the Lord and abide in Christ and He in me. I pray that I may walk with integrity, truthfulness, humility, and grace, and I pray that in Your strength, I may bring forth godly works of righteousness for Your name's sake. May my actions and attitudes reflect the godly characteristics that are pleasing in Your sight. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the truths that are contained in the Psalms of David and the many lessons that I can learn from them. Thank You that, by faith, I have been positioned in Christ and am seated with Him in heavenly places. I pray that I may give Him the honour due to His name, by walking in integrity and righteousness all the days of my life. I pray that I would speak the truth in love, in the power of Your indwelling Holy Spirit, to Your praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Dear Lord Jesus, I am filled with fear and anxiety as I have been left completely alone. I have no one in the world to care for me, no one who is really interested in me, and I am so frightened to have to face the future all on my own.
I do believe in Jesus as my Saviour, and I want to draw closer to You. I know from all that I learned as a child that my hope is in You alone. Lord, I have found a scripture in the book of Psalms that says that You put the lonely in families, and I find that such a comfort.
Please Lord, will You do that for me? Lord, if this is Your will for me, would You put me into a family and bring some lovely people that will come alongside me and be a family to me – but in any event, I pray that You would equip me to live my life and face the future in such a way that is honouring to You.
Thank You, Lord, that You really do care for me. I pray that You may even use me to be a comfort to others who may also facing a future alone. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, I rejoice in the joy of my salvation and celebrate in the truth that Christ - my risen, ascended, glorified Lord, is seated on the right hand of the Father in heavenly places. Thank You that by faith in Him, I too might have life eternal and enjoy fellowship with the Father, despite the inevitable difficulties and dangers that I face in this fallen world. Thank You that He is continually before me. May I never be shaken, knowing that Christ is seated on the right hand of the majesty on high, and by death has conquered death and given life-eternal to all who believe in Him. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, praise Your name for Your wonderful gift of salvation, through the death and Resurrection of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Give me a greater understanding of what the life of 'Christ-in-me' means, and may many come to an understanding of this eternal truth today. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I praise You for Your great goodness and for the many blessings that You have showered onto each one of us. Be with me each step of the way and help me to keep my eyes on the Lord Jesus. I pray that I too may receive the fullness of joy that Christ experienced in His earthly walk, for I trust in Your love. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Lord, thank You that You are a God who hears my every sigh and knows my needs before I even ask. May my prayers flow to You from a heart that trusts You implicitly, a heart that is open and clean before Your throne of grace. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Oh Lord, I am ill and feel frightened and alone as I have no one to care for me. I have no one who is really interested in me at all, and I feel lost and alone and so vulnerable. And now Lord Jesus, I have come down with this sickness and I feel so ill. Lord, I ask You please to make me well again soon, and lift up my sagging spirit, I pray.
I know Lord in my heart that I am not alone, because You are with me, which is the real reason that I am praying to You now, because You promised to be with me and never to leave me or forsake me, even when everyone else does. Be with me now I pray, and reach out Your healing hand of blessing and touch me Lord. Please make me feel better, not only in my body but also in my life, I pray.
Thank You, that I can call on You in times of trouble or illness or loneliness, and know that You are always there to hear and answer, to heal and comfort and help. Lord, I pray that You would help me to really apply this truth in my life, not just when I am sick, but every day.
Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many things that I can learn from the Psalms and prophets of old. Thank You that I have been credited with righteousness by faith in Christ. Prevent me from seeking after the transitory treasures of this world, and may I remember the glories of the heavenly kingdom that are mine, when I go to be with Jesus and see Him as He is. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Thank You Father, that You are my faithful and dependable God and heavenly Father, in Whom I place my trust. Use me I pray, as a witness of Your dependable faithfulness in my life today. Open the eyes of those that have been blinded to the glorious truth of Your saving grace, through the tactics of the enemy. This I ask in Jesus’ name, AMEN.
Heavenly Lord, how I praise and glorify Your holy name, for You alone are worthy of all praise and honour. Thank You, that You are my Rock, my Fortress, and my great Deliverer. Thank You, that You the Horn of my salvation, in whom I place my trust. I exalt Your holy name and bless You for my creation, preservation, and all the many blessings of this life. But above all, I thank You, Father, for Your inestimable love in the redemption of the world through our Lord Jesus Christ, for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. In Jesus' name, I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, when I look into the heavens and see the splendour of Your handiwork and the glories of Your creative power, I am moved, as was David, to proclaim Your glory and to declare the wonderful works of Your mighty hand. But when I look to the Cross of Calvary and see Christ, dead, buried, and Resurrected to life so that by faith in Him, I might be reconciled back to God, be forgiven of my sins, and become Your child and heir, I am lost in wonder, love, and praise, AMEN.
Loving Father, the heart that meditates on the Lord and lifts up the person of the Lord Jesus, is the one that exhibits an inner grace and beauty, for such a one is willingly being transformed into the likeness of Christ. I know that out of the mouth come thoughts that are conceived in the heart, and so I pray that, like David, in humility of heart I would sanctify the words of my mouth, the meditation of my heart, the thoughts of my mind, and the motives of my inner being so that I too am pleasing and acceptable in the sight of my precious Lord and Saviour. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Father, so much of my life has been seeking my own desires, which are empty vessels, unless filled to the brim with You and with Your perfect will. May my heart and mind be increasingly conformed into the likeness of Christ, and may I grow in grace, so that I am increasingly sensitive to Your desires and make them the longing of my heart within me. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the wonderful book of Psalms, the amazing truths they contain, and the wonderful lessons I can learn from reading them and meditating upon them. Teach me all that You would have me learn from the writings of Psalmists like king David, the truths I can glean about the Lord Jesus Christ, and the future prophetic words that will be fulfilled through Him. Open my understanding that I may gain an intimate knowledge and understanding of the many biblical themes, promises, protection, and truths that are contained within its pages. Thank You that You are a God Who hears and answers the prayers of Your people and delivers us from all our enemies. Thank You that victory over our enemies is ours, through Christ our Saviour, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I cannot begin to grasp what Christ had to endure on the Cross on my account. May my life reflect eternal love and gratitude for my precious Saviour. Thank You that He died for me, I pray that I might live for Him. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Oh my God and my Father, I cannot comprehend what my Lord Jesus had to go through to pay the price for my sins, but I praise You, I praise You my God, I praise you forever. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Thank You, Lord, that You are my Shepherd. You are all that I need, and I love You. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Father God, thank You that Jesus is my Good and faithful Shepherd. Thank You for the times that You bring me to a halt in the hustle and bustle of this frenzied life and cause me to take time to rest. May I listen to Your voice, respond to Your gracious leading, and lie down in the green pastures into which You have led me. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Father of all grace and mercy, I praise Your name for Your wonderful words of comfort and Your promise that nothing can ever pluck me out of Your hand. Thank You that no matter what I do, You will restore me and lead me along life’s path, for the honour of Your name. Keep me, I pray, from wandering far from You and may all I do, from this day forward, be to Your honour and glory. 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, how I praise and thank You for Your Word and the comfort and strength it gives me. Thank You that You are my Shepherd and my Provider. Thank You that You are with me through the darkest days as well as during the sunny times, and thank You that You have provided all that I need, according to Your riches in glory. Thank You that You are my God and Saviour. You have, indeed, prepared an overflowing table before me in the presence of my enemies and have anointed my head with the oil of gladness. My cup overflows with Your never-ending blessings, for which I praise and thank You. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You that You are the great King of glory and Lord of hosts Who created the world and everything in it. May I never forget to rejoice that my name is written in heaven, for You are my Maker and Redeemer and by the blood of Christ I have been saved. Praise Your Holy name! AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You, that Jesus is the King of glory, Who is mighty to save. Thank You, that He came to earth as the Suffering Servant, to die on the cross to pay the price for my sins, and rose again so that I too will rise to life immortal. Thank You, that He is coming back in power and great glory, to judge the earth in righteousness and rule and reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. Thank You, that He is mighty in battle and that You loved us so much that You prepared Your plan of redemption and sent Him to be our Kinsman-Redeemer. How I praise and thank You for Jesus, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, give me a teachable spirit and a desire to know Your ways. Keep me separated from the ways of wicked men and help me to walk daily in the path that you have set before me. Open my eyes to Your truth as I study Your Word, and help me to listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, day by day. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Lead me, Lord, in the path of Your choosing. Lead me, I pray, along a level path for Your name's sake. Thank You, Father, that You are a faithful God. You are the One who leads and guides, and You are the One Who corrects and trains. Lord, shepherd me along the path of Your choosing. Your love and faithfulness are without measure, and I trust You to lead me along the path of righteousness all the days of my life. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, You are my God and Saviour and I love and trust You with all my heart. Help me to make the right choices in my life so that in all I say and do Your name may be glorified. Teach me the way that I should go, knowing that all Your ways are good and all Your paths are peace. Protect me from those things that would harm me and uphold me with Your gracious hand today. And in the days that lie ahead, I pray that may I never stray from the path of righteousness. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I praise and thank You for Your mercy, compassion, peace, and love. Thank You for blessing all who trust You, with so many spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Thank You that in Christ Jesus, You have revealed the secret things of Your heart to me, and to all who fear Your name, and thank You that by the grace of God, I am what I am in Christ Jesus my Lord, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the encouraging witness we have in the life of David. May I never forget that Your plans and purposes are working out in my life for my eternal benefit and for Your greater glory, even during those times when I am beset by difficulties, dangers, deprivation, and disappointments. Help me to cling to You every moment of the day and in all I do, may I become a testimony of a life who trusts in God alone. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Dear Heavenly Father, You are my sufficiency and strength, my light and my life, my all in all. I pray that when dark clouds of unknowing loom across my heart, that I immediately call to mind the wonderful truth of Who You really are. May I rest in the wonderful security and eternal salvation I have in Christ, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Father God, please teach me Your ways, and guide me along the best path for my life, for without You my feet would slip. I will give You all the praise and the glory, all my days. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what a wonderfully faithful God You are, to all who trust in Your name. Thank You for the example of David, who reminds me that Your goodness and mercy lasts from generation to generation, and that all You have promised in Your Word is true and sure. I pray that I may be a, "man after God’s own heart", who maintains my trust in You, despite the difficult circumstances that I am facing. I know that in Your goodness, You will provide for me and protect me as You have promised. In Jesus’ name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, too often my old sin nature calls on me to take hold of the reins of my life instead of abiding in You and resting in Your promises. Help me to learn to wait on You and to be of good courage, knowing that You are in perfect control of my life and all I am called upon to do is to quietly wait for You to act on my behalf and to confidently wait on You with prayer and worship and a heart of thanksgiving and praise. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Dear Heavenly Father, what comfort and joy all Your children gain from Your precious Word. I thank You that You are my strength and my shield. My heart trusts in You, and I praise and thank You for the help and comfort I receive through faith in Christ Jesus my Saviour. Thank You that Your ear is ever open to the cries of Your people. Help me take every thought captive to Christ when circumstances arise that would otherwise overwhelm me and cause me to fear. The joy of the Lord is my strength, therefore my heart exults in grateful thanks and eternal praise. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, there are so many examples of Your great glory and majesty, and yet You are interested in me, Your child. Help me to attune my ear to hear Your voice, as I learn to live humbly and walk wisely before You in spirit and truth. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, You have never failed me in the past, and I trust You in the future to be my stronghold and my peace. Thank You for giving me strength and blessing me with the peace that passes understanding. You are my Lord and my God and I love You. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many times You restore health and strength to those who are sick. Thank You for the times I have seen those with life-threatening diseases made whole and strengthened by Your goodness and grace. Thank You for the doctors, nurses, surgeons, and medics You use to bring healing to sick souls, and for the amazing medications and healing supplements that so often bring restoration to a sick body or diseased mind. May I never forget to bring my needs and petitions to You in prayer first, and may I never forget to give You the praise and glory due when health has been restored, for You are the only life-Giver and You provide all the life-giving curatives for every ill. Thank You that my times are in Your hands, and help me to trust You even when physical healing does not come. May I always remember to sing praise to Your holy name and not remain silent, but give thanks to You forever and ever. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I praise and thank You for Your loving-kindness and long-suffering toward me and all Your children. Thank You that no matter what difficulty and pain I may go through in this life, help me to remember that weeping will be replaced with laughter, and pain with joy. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, like David, I have taken my refuge in You and I trust in Your sure Word and never-failing promises. For Your righteous name's sake, I pray that You will deliver me out of the difficulties I am facing today. Please give me the grace to get through. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, You are my Rock and Fortress, my strength and stay, and I rest in Your love. I ask that You lead and guide me through all the twists and turns of my life, and thank You that Your grace is sufficient for all that I face. In Christ's name I pray, AMEN.
Lord how I thank You that my times are under Your control and authority.. and that nothing can pluck me out of Your hands, without Your knowledge and Your consent. Thank You for this day knowing that has been such a blessing and joy to me.. and thank You that every passing moment has been such a gracious gift and blessing from You.
I pray that You will bring me safely through the night.. but Lord should it be the time for me to breath my last breath in this world, I pray that I will rest securely in Your arms and be ready to meet You face to face.
Thank You that You have prepared a home for me in heaven and that my citizenship is not here on the earth but with You, in heavenly places - and I pray that when that day comes, when I shall see You as You are, that I will hear Your voice saying, “well done good and faithful servant.”

Dear Heavenly Father, You are a God Who has a special place for babies and young children in Your tender heart, and You know that we live in a fallen world where many babies and young children are often in danger, not only from external issues but even from those that care for them. And so we ask for Your loving protection to surround all babies and young children, and that You keep each one free from harm.
And so we entrust all vulnerable young children and tiny babies into Your loving hands for safe keeping, and pray that nothing evil will befall any one of them, and that they will be lovingly protected from any physical harm or emotional trauma.
Thank You, Lord, for hearing and answering prayer. May this generation of babies and toddlers grow up desiring to know more of You in the days that lie ahead. This we ask in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, there are many times when I have failed to listen to Your voice, gone my own way, and fallen flat on my face! Thank You that I can confess my faults to You, and that You are faithful and just to forgive all my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Help me to grow in grace, mature in the faith, and draw ever closer to You. Keep me alert to your instructions, show me the path I should go, and guide me with Your eye, I pray.

Loving Father, I thank You that I am Your child and that Your promises to both Israel and the Church are irrevocable. Look down with pity on those that are lost in trespasses and sins and I pray that many more people may come to faith in Jesus Christ Who is the only way, the only truth, the only life, and the only Saviour. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and the truths it contains. I pray that like David, I would bless You at all times and in all circumstances. I pray that I may develop an attitude of grateful thanks and worshipful praise in every area of my life - no matter how mundane the task may be. I pray that in all things and at all times I would seek to glorify You. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what a privilege it is to be part of Your family and receive salvation by grace through faith, in the shed blood of our great God and Redeemer. Thank You that I have been made a new creation in Christ and am part of Your eternal family. In humility of heart and overwhelming thankfulness, I pray that from this day forward, I will glory in nothing else, but Jesus Christ and His righteousness - through Whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You are near to the broken-hearted and close to all who are crushed in spirit. Thank You for the testimony of the saints, that You are a faithful God, Whose mercies are new every morning. How we praise You, for You are a witness to Your Word - that You are a God, Who not only saves but keeps and helps and comforts and provides for all who are called by Your name - thank You in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I praise and thank You that You are in control of this world and will one day be moved to bring in Your rule of righteousness and vindicate those that have been unjustly accused or abused. Thank You, Father, that You are the One Who places men in power and brings down rulers, in order to forward Your perfect plan of salvation for the redemption of the world. Thank You for men like David who have gone before us, but have set an example in trusting You to rescue their soul from the ravages of this world system. I pray that no matter what I face in the days ahead, I will trust You in all things and bring glory to Your holy name. AMEN.
When I reflect on Who You are my Lord and God, it gives me a peep into the magnificence of Your person, Your will and Your character. Thank You, for the many reassurances that You give my fainting soul, in these precious promises about Your nature and character. Thank You for expressing Your love, faithfulness, might and justice in the Person of the Lord Jesus. Thank You for sending Him to die on the cross and to rise into newness of life, so that I may be brought into fellowship with Yourself.

Loving Father, I surrender all into Your hands, for I trust You and desire to do only those things that are pleasing in Your sight. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, forgive me for the times when I have delighted myself in wrong things. Keep me from fretting over evildoers in this increasingly confusing world, and help me to keep the eyes of my heart on Jesus and to delight myself in the things of God. Align my thoughts to Your thoughts, I pray, and my will to the will of God. May the desires of my heart unite with Your perfect will and eternal purposes, for Your everlasting praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.

Loving Lord, forgive me for the times that I have allowed the wicked ways of the ungodly to disturb my rest in You.

In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, that my steps are ordered by You, that You take delight in establishing the way I should go, and are able keep me from falling.

Loving Lord, I confess that there is much bitterness and anger in my heart, and I come to You knowing that there is nothing that I can do to rid myself of this suffocating handicap in my life.
Search me within Lord, and expose all that is not pleasing in Your sight. Help me to find a closure to the deep rooted anger which seems to be rooted in a deep-seated unforgiveness.
Forgive me Lord, for the pain I have caused, for I know my anger has hurt so many people. Yet I realise that my sin of anger is directed against You and it is against You alone that I have sinned in this way.
Also, I pray that You will create in me a forgiving heart towards all those that have hurt me so deeply. And knowing that the Lord Jesus forgave me so many sins, I confess that I too should forgive others, just as God for Christ’s sake forgave me all my sin.
Thank You that in You I have victory against all my sin, including my anger – for in Christ the power of sin has been broken in my life because I trust in His name.
Thank You Lord. I trust You to take away all the anger within me and fill me with Your perfect peace, for You have promised to keep all in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You.
Amen.
Loving Heavenly Father, You put us into families and set a father as the leader and role model for each family, but Lord, there are many families that are being torn apart by a husband and father that has become addicted to alcohol.
Knowing the devastating nature of this disease, I pray that You would prompt each one to turn away from this evil habit to become the responsible husband and father that You desire each one to be.
Lord, we know that there are many alcoholic husbands that abuse their wives both physically and emotionally and that many children are also placed in danger due to abuse from an alcoholic father. And also Lord, we know that such drinking habits can often leave families with insufficient money to live on.
Protect all those that are vulnerable from all forms of abuse, and convict such men of the responsibilities of being loving husbands and dependable fathers. Lord, we pray that they turn from their evil ways to turn to the Lord Jesus, knowing that only in You is true freedom found.
Thank You Father. I commit all families that are in this position into Your safe-keeping. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your precious promises to me and to all men, and thank You for Christ my Kinsman-Redeemer. Thank You for His perfect example of patience. Thank You for His long-suffering as He hung on the Cross and slept in the tomb, waiting for the Resurrection of His body. Thank You that having been forgiven of my sins, I too have no fear of death and hell. Give me patience to endure to the end, to Your praise and glory. This I pray in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that there is no pit of destruction so deep and no miry clay so oppressive, that Your hand of blessing and encouragement is not able to reach down, raise me up, and set my feet upon the Rock of my salvation. Help me to wait patiently for You to act on my behalf. Let me never doubt Your Word to heal or Your will to save. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for all You have done in my life, all You are doing, and for the many precious promises that I see being fulfilled as I journey through this troublesome world. Help me bring all my cares and concerns to You in never-ceasing prayers and intercessions, and help me to wait patiently for You to act on my behalf. Keep me ever rejoicing in Your ongoing mercy and grace, and to sing new songs of praise and thanksgiving for Your manifold goodness and grace. I pray that my life may be a testimony to others of Your never-failing mercies and bring many more to faith in You, as they witness You working in the lives of Your servants. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Heavenly Father, I delight to do Your will and meditate on Your Word. Multiply my desire for You, I pray, so that my life may be a testimony to Your love and grace. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Dear Father God, thank You for the many blessings that we receive from You daily and especially for the wonderful gift of salvation, which we all have been given simply by trusting in Jesus as Saviour. Thank You, that He died to take the punishment I deserve for my sins, and that He rose again to break the power of sin and death in my life. How I praise You and worship You for all Your many blessing.
Lord, I thank You for my life. I know that we are wonderfully created and every part of our body is a miracle, but I come to You today as I am not at all well in my body and my health seems to be failing. I have always been fairly healthy Lord, for which I praise You, but have come down recently with a number of unrelated ailments and Lord, I feel so poorly and ask for Your healing touch on my life.
Be with me Lord, and with all that are facing similar problems in their lives. Lord, it seems that so many people that I know have contracted some sort of health problem, and I just ask You to visit each of us at this time of illness, stretch Your healing hand on each of our lives and restore us to good health.
Thank You, that You are a God Who hears and answers prayers. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Loving Father, I realise more and more how much I need You to be the Restorer of my soul. I need the living water from on high to refresh my heart and sustain my spirit. Times are hard, Father, and sometimes the pressures of life seem to encompass me on every side, but I praise Your name that You are my shelter from the heat and You alone revive my weary soul. Keep me and those I love under the shadow of Your wing. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I pray that You would develop in me a deeper and more personal thirst for You, with each passing day. It is only as I drink deeply of Your living waters of life, that my soul can be satisfied. Use me, Lord, as a conduit through whom Your refreshment may be poured out to other thirsty souls. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank You for being with me throughout today and for Your hand of blessing on my life. Thank You, for the way that You have led and guided me throughout this day, and I pray Your loving grace would rest on all that I have done – may it be to Your praise and glory.
Loving Lord, You are my strength and my sufficiency and I pray that as I settle down for the night, that You would enable me to drift into a deep and quiet sleep and a peaceful rest. Remove any little tensions that may have built up over the day, so that I may wake refreshed in the morning and ready and willing to do Your bidding.
Guard my unconscious thoughts Lord, and cover me with Your love. Draw me ever closer into Your loving arms. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the words of wisdom from the psalmist who fled to You in times of trouble and found in You his exceeding joy. Thank You that You are the joy of my salvation and the strength of my heart. Ignite in my heart a faith that holds fast to my hope in You, and I pray that the trials that I am facing today would be food upon which my trust in You will feed. May I never forget that Your grace is sufficient and made perfect in my weakness. Help me to fan into flame my faith in You, even when oppressed and discouraged. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, there is much in this fallen world that can drag us into depression and distress of soul, but my hope is in You for You are the Anchor of my soul and the Rock of my salvation. When my soul is inclined towards despair or when fear begins to creep into my heart, I pray that I would hope in God, fix my mind on Jesus, trust You with all my heart, and present my life to you as a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Thank You that You are my God, the Lover of my soul, the Light of the world, and the joy of all the ends of the earth. My hope is in You and I praise Your name forever and ever, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I stand in awe of Your goodness and grace that You would choose me to be saved, by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus. Thank You that I should be given the place of honour in becoming His Bride. May I give Him the honour and glory due to His highly exalted name. I pray that forsaking all others, I would keep myself only unto Him, not only in this world but in the ages to come. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I praise You for Your Word and the truths within its pages. Thank You that You are my ever-present Rock of refuge and my never-failing strength and stronghold. Equip me, I pray, to stand fast in the evil day and to trust in Your Word, though the earth be moved and though the mountains be thrown into the midst of the sea. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Dear Lord, I praise You that Your Word stands fast forever and ever and that Your precious promises encourage me to rest in Your love and drink deeply from the Rock of my salvation. Draw near to every member of Christ’s Body, and protect Your people, Israel, against the increasing roar of the nations. I pray for Your soon return, when Your name will be exalted throughout all the earth. Then all the nations will know that You are God. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, that You are my God. Thank You that You are with me through every circumstance of life and have promised to be with me forever and to be my guide unto death. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I confess that I have not always had the right attitude of true thanksgiving toward You. I pray that from now on, my life would be a living sacrifice that is pleasing to You and glorifies Your name. Help me to identify and correct any wrong attitudes within my heart, and begin anew to worship You in spirit and truth. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Lord Jesus, it says in Your Word, examine Yourself to see it you are in the faith. Lord, I realise that this is not talking to unbelievers but to all of us who are Your children in Christ Jesus. Lord, help me to examine myself, and all that I am learning from You and Your Word, so that I truly may say with conviction, "I know in Whom I have believed and am walking in the path on which He has placed me."
Keep me also from critical thoughts of others, and prevent me Lord, from having a spirit of control, or by pretending to hold others accountable to You, when the beam in my own eye is greater than the speck that is in my brothers’ eye. Keep me humble before Your throne of grace.
Thank You for all my Christian friends and family. Keep us all walking close to You in the days that lie ahead. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, we know that every good and perfect gift comes from You and that children are a special heritage from the Lord. But Father, we also know that the enemy of our soul seeks to kill and destroy all that is from You, and especially the lives of little babies in the womb.
And so we lift up all women who may be planning to have an abortion, or who have been deceived into thinking that this is a woman’s right, rather than a sin against their creator God, and we pray that You would create in their hearts a desire to do what is right and a realisation of the evil that surrounds the practice of abortion, that they themselves are considering
Bring into the life of each mother those that would give godly counsel and change the hearts of those who have already made a decision to go down the route of abortion.
Instil in the heart of each woman a deep love for the baby they are carrying, and we pray that many may be prompted to turn from their planned abortion and look to the Lord Jesus, for the grace do what is right. This we ask in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Thank You, Father, that in Your wisdom You do not renew and restore the old fallen sin-nature in Adam, but You give us a new nature, a new, born-again life, received through faith in Christ. Thank You for the lessons we can learn from biblical saints like David, who was cleansed of his sin, when he confessed his faults and cried out to You. Thank You for the indwelling ministry of the Holy Spirit, and I pray that You would point out all the areas in my life that grieve You or quench Your ongoing work within. Create in me a clean heart I pray, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, and may Christ be seen in me as I submit to Your Spirit's leading and do only those things I hear from Him. In Christ's name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that I have the permanent, indwelling Holy Spirit to lead and guide me. I don't want to grieve or quench the Spirit through unbelief or pride of life. May my life be led by the Spirit, by the power of the Spirit, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, I understand more and more the importance of humility of heart, a contrite spirit, and the need to be broken before You. In this state, the beautiful character of the Lord Jesus can be formed and developed in me. Search me O God, and show me areas where I have not yet submitted to Your leading and guidance, for I desire my life to be a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to You. In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for reaching down to me and making Yourself known to me in so many wonderful ways. I pray that Your Holy Spirit would convict the hearts of many 'fools' who have said in their heart, 'there is no God' and bring many to faith in Christ for the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Dear Lord Jesus, our heart is breaking with grief because our precious child has gone down the route of addiction. They have left home and are now living rough in the streets and seem to have become an entirely different personality. Lord, we have not seen them now for many months and we are filled with great sadness. But we are trusting You Lord to work a miracle.
Look down Lord Jesus in pity on our dear child, convict them of their wrongdoing and restore a right mind within them. Protect them Lord, from the dangers that surround them and bring them home Lord we pray.
Lord, there is nothing that we can do but to trust You, and we do trust You Lord to turn our child right round and return them home. Into Your hands we commit this great sadness and pray that the return of our precious prodigal will take place very soon, and we will give You all the praise and glory,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many things there are for me to learn from King David's desire to fly away from his problems, in order to find rest for his soul. How easy it is to wish to be free from the trials and tribulations in life, and how important to understand that the only rest for our soul is to be positioned in Christ and guided and comforted by His Holy Spirit. Thank You that by faith in Him I have rest for my soul, even though I may be surrounded by those that hate me and immersed in a world at enmity with God. Thank You for all that Jesus has done for me - bearing the rejection of His people, the denial of His disciples, and the betrayal of His trusted friend. Thank You that He died for me and rose again so that I may have forgiveness of my sin and receive newness of life, in Your everlasting kingdom. Thank You in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that no matter what dangers and evils threaten me, and no matter what terrors and difficulties come near me, I may cast all my burdens upon You, knowing that You will sustain and strengthen me. I know that in Christ, I need never be shaken by terrors or threats. Praise God that greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what a joy it is to read through the book of Psalms and discover the jewels of encouragement and the gems of hope. Lord, You know those who are against me, especially those who are dead in sin, at enmity with You and in need of salvation. Father, I thank You that You are my God, and I trust You to bring me through the trials and temptations I am facing today, and pray that You would use me as a testimony of Your great goodness and grace. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, that You are the Lord my God in Whom I have placed my trust. Thank You for the bold declarations of David, whose trust in You was reflected in the courageous words he spoke. Thank You that there is nothing to fear from any man, nor from Satan's demonic hosts, for You have promised to keep us safe from all the evils and from those that oppose us. Like David, I proclaim in Jesus' name, "I shall not be afraid of what mere man can do to me, for in You O God have I put my trust". Praise Your holy name, AMEN.
Father God, thank You for Your compassionate mercy toward me. Thank You that You care so deeply about everything that causes me pain, that You have put my tears in a bottle. Thank You that You know so intimately about everything that causes my tears and that in You, I can find my true source of comfort. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, for the book of Psalms that so often comforts my soul in difficult times and refreshes my heart in distressing circumstances. Help me not to focus on life's external problems nor the internal doubts that can enter my mind and cause me to fear. Help me, Lord, to bring to mind Your precious promises of refreshment and supply, and to cast all my burdens on You. Praise the Lord O my soul and all that is within me praise Your glorious name. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You hear the cries of Your children and that Your ears are ever open to the pleas, petitions, and prayers of those who reverence Your name, acknowledge Your perfections, and praise You for Your goodness and grace. May I adore and admire You in my daily life and serve You in all the circumstances of life, in spirit and in truth, both in my inner being and through my external body. In the name of Jesus, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the cloud of witnesses that demonstrated a quiet confidence in You. Hush my heart today and help me, like them, to fix the thoughts of my mind and the meditation of my heart on You alone as I quietly wait in silence for You, knowing You are my Rock of salvation, my Defence and my Defender. You are my Lord, my Life, my Way, and my all in all. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Father, what a thrill to know that all my hope comes from You. All my security, all my love, all my joy, and all my delight is founded in the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank You, Father, that I can come to You and rest in You every moment of the day and night. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
O Lord my God, my Saviour, my all in all, my Jesus, and my Lord. Thank You that You are the living water of life that satisfies the longing of my heart in a dry and thirsty land. No matter where I am or in what circumstances I find myself, You are the Rock upon which I stand and the heavenly lover of my soul. I pray that my love and passion for You would multiply, morning by morning. You alone can satisfy my inner longing, and You alone understand the deepest cry of my heart. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank You for the example of David and others who remind me, day by day, that You are a covenant-keeping God whose never-failing loving-kindness is greater than life itself. May I live my life to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, my soul thirsts for You in a weary and war-torn land. Thank You that You have promised never to leave me nor forsake me and to uphold me with Your righteous right hand. I pray that I may cling tightly to You every moment of the day, knowing that You have promised to support me. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Loving Lord and Heavenly Father, You alone are good and You alone richly provide for all the needs and the necessities of life, and in Your loving-kindness You give us over and above all that we ask or think. Thank You for Your steadfast love and gracious provision to us and to all Your creation.
Forgive us for the times when we have taken Your provision for granted and the times when we have failed to thank You and give You the honour and gratitude that You deserve. Thank You, that even though we have failed to acknowledge all that You give us day by day, You faithfully provide us richly all things to enjoy. But Lord, we come to You now, knowing that we are facing a drought in this region and we ask You to send abundant rain on the earth, which has become dry, thirsty and arid.
Look down in pity our plight we pray. It is not only the plants that are wilting, but even the animals and people in this place are parched and dry. Oh Lord, send us rain. Open the windows of heaven we pray with the sweet rainfall that we so desperately need, and water our land we pray, and we will give You all the praise and glory due to Your holy name,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, I lift up my voice in praise to Your glorious name, for You alone are worthy, You alone are the Lord Almighty. You have saved me from the pit and set my feet on the Rock of my salvation. How awesome are Your deeds and I love You, Lord. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You for the wonderful works of Your hand and the awesome deeds that You have done for me. Thank You that Jesus came to redeem me and to die in my place, so that I could be raised into newness of life, and live with You in the eternal ages to come. How awesome are Your works and how great is Your power. All the earth will worship You and sing praises to Your holy name, for You alone are worthy of our honour and thanksgiving, our worship and praise. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the beautiful example of David whose zeal for your house consumed him, and thank You that the Church, today, is a spiritual Temple in whom dwells the Holy Spirit. I pray that You would instil in my heart a true and permanent passion to honour Your name through my life, and to present my body as a living sacrifice that is holy and acceptable to You. Thank You that in Christ I am a new creation, and I pray that I may be ready and wiling to fellowship in the suffering of Christ during my sojourn on earth so that His name may be exalted and lifted up, for Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, the baby that has been growing within my womb for these many months is now in an incubator fighting for life, and I feel numb and utterly helpless.
Lord, You know the joy and excitement and also the tears and grief that we have gone through these last few weeks and months, and that our emotions are shot through with so many fluctuating feelings because of this unexpected and premature delivery. I pray that in Your pity and grace, You would touch the life of my precious little one and spare their life, and bring them through into full health and strength.
Lift the heavy burden from my heart and help me to come to terms with what has happened, and I pray that I may be able to accept that nothing happens that is not in Your permissive will. I ask that You would give me the strength, day by day, to cope with this unexpected set of circumstances.
Protect my baby from any other form of infection or illness, and may this little body be strengthened through Your mighty power with each passing day. Give the doctors and nurses the skill to do all that is needed to care for my baby, and give me the sufficient strength that only comes from You. May Your peace reside in my heart, knowing that all things work together for good to those that are called according to Your good purpose. Thank You, Father, in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You have been my strength in times past, and You have continued to support and strengthen me through every scene of my life. May Your name be glorified forever and ever. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You sent the Lord Jesus to be Your anointed King Who is appointed to judge the world in righteousness and rule the nations with equity. I look forward to that time when the earth will be filled with His glory. In the meantime, I pray that I may live to His praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, as I consider the destructive end of those that reject Your offer of salvation to secure the passing trinkets of this life, how I praise and thank You that You are with me continually. Thank You that You have taken hold of my right hand and have promised never to leave me nor forsake me. Keep me from hankering after the things of this world which are passing away like the morning mist. Keep my eyes ever looking to Jesus, for He alone is worthy of all praise and glory, not only in this world but in the ages to come. This I pray in His precious name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for this reminder in the Psalms, that wicked men are on a slippery slope to destruction, unless they turn from their wicked ways and trust in Christ for salvation. Thank You, Lord, for Your never-failing goodness and grace toward me. May I draw ever closer to You and declare the wonderful works of God in the land of the living, knowing that my times are in Your hands and my future is secured for me in heaven. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
I give thanks to You, O heavenly Father, that You are close to Your people and will one day judge the world in righteousness. I praise and glorify Your holy name, for Your Word of truth, and the great comfort I gain from psalmists like Asaph, whose trust and confidence in You, is reflected in their edifying psalms of praise and thanksgiving. Thank You that You are a God of justice as well as a great God of love, and that a day is coming when You will stand up as Judge of the earth, and put all wrongs to right. Thank You that You will one day punish those that speak with insolent pride, as they drink the dregs of Your justified anger, and thank You that the strength of evil men will one day be cut off and Your people will be raised up into newness of life. Thank You that I am Your child and I will sing praises to You in Your court forever. In Jesus' name, I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many lessons that we may learn from Israel's past history and Your long-suffering grace towards them. I pray that I may learn all that You would teach me from their past failures so that I may not repeat the mistakes of the past - but I pray, O Lord, that I may walk in integrity of heart and humility of spirit all the days of my life - for Your greater praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and the truths it contains. Thank You for rescuing me from the slave-market of sin and for Your many precious promises of provision, which are all 'yes' and 'amen' in Christ Jesus my Saviour. Thank You that You are the same, yesterday, today, and forever, and that Your Word is truth and can never fail. I pray that I may not make the same mistakes as Your people, Israel, but learn every lesson You would teach me. And help me to trust in Your Word as I look for the any-day return of Jesus. This I ask in His precious name, AMEN.
How blessed is everyone that trusts in You. To You and You alone be all blessing and honour, glory, might, majesty and power, for Your loving-kindness is better than life itself.
How blessed I am Father, to be Your child.
How blessed I am to have all my sins forgiven and to be imputed with the righteousness of the Lord Jesus.
How blessed I am that You are my Shepherd and my Provider. You are my Defender, my Healer and You are my all in all.
How blessed that I have been given eternal life as a free gift of grace and that You have crowned me with Your steadfast love and mercy, satisfying me with all good things and renewing my strength like that of an eagle.
May I come to know You better with every passing day, and I pray that Your abundant blessings will pour down on all that trust Your name and abide in Your love.

Dear Heavenly Father, it is wonderful to see Your plan of salvation unfolding through Scripture and to identify passages like Psalm 91 that point us to Jesus, the promised Messiah of Israel and Saviour of the world. I praise You that even though He was fully God, He lived His life in total dependence on You, demonstrating to all Your children that we are also to live a life of faith and trust. Father, there are many times I have failed to fly to Jesus when faced with the overwhelming circumstances of life, but I pray that from this day forward I would live as Christ lived - in total dependence on Him, just as He lived - in total dependence on You. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You, that no matter what circumstances invade my life, there is no evil or harm that the enemy can inflict on me, except as You permit for my eternal good and the glory of Your name.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the lessons You would teach me from Israel’s past history, and help me not to fall into the same attitude of unbelief or exhibit a spirit of complaint.

Father, as we settle down to sleep in the relative peace and safety of our own homes, we want to lift up our brave men and women in uniform, who are serving in so many difficult and dangerous places, and under such harsh and uncomfortable circumstances.
We pray for Your protection and guidance in the tremendous challenges that they are called to face, as they strive to protect our country and maintain peace and security in their various situations
Give wisdom to those that are in authority that they may make the right choices and be directed by You in the many decisions they are called up on to make. And may those that are under their authority be covered by Your protecting hand and return home in due course, to their family and friends that have been left behind.
Lord we know that in this peace-keeping role there are many emotions and hardships that our military will inevitably have to face and so we pray that You would be close to those that are lonely, give strength to the weary, hope to the despairing, peace to those that are disturbed and grace to all who are having to face the many hardships and dangers that are associated with military duties. And most of all we pray that many that the men and women in uniform would come to a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour in the days that lie ahead – this we ask in Jesus name,
Amen

Thank You for the many precious promises that we can pray for our loved ones.. and tonight I thank You that those who dwell in the shelter of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Be with all those I love tonight and give each one the beloved sleep that You have promised to all Your children – this I ask in Jesus name,
Amen
Heavenly Father, how wonderful it is to lift up our eyes to You in prayer and praise, for You are our God and Saviour Who is enthroned in heavenly places. Thank You that there is no enemy that can daunt us, nor any circumstance in life that You do not permit for our spiritual development and eternal good. I pray that I would develop a Christlike character that honours Your name through the trials of life, and I pray that my prayers and praises would ascend to You as a sweet-smelling savour. Keep me ever walking in spirit and truth and looking to Jesus. This I pray in His holy name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I praise and thank You for Your faithfulness to both Israel and the Church. I praise and thank You that all who trust in Your name are secure in the truth of Your Word and cannot be moved, for You are with us to protect us and to provide for us, no matter what we may face in this life. May I live to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your grace toward me. Thank You for always being there for me and for all those that love and trust Your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Thank You that You are with me, in and around me, in every situation of life. Praise Your holy name for Your faithfulness to all Your children. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I thank You that You are a God that keeps Your promises to me, even when I prove faithless. I praise You for the exceedingly great things that You have done for me. I pray for the nation of Israel whom You have returned to the land You gave them. Lord, I pray that their partial blindness will be lifted and that they will once again be able to sing this joyful Psalm: "The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad." Thank You, in Jesus’ name, AMEN.
Loving Father, I want You to be the One watching over my life in all I say and do, for I confess that without You I can do nothing, but I praise Your name that I can do all things through Christ Who gives me the strength. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the benefits of a good night's sleep. Thank You also for the day by day provision of the gifts and graces that are mine in Christ and which are even poured out on me during the night-time hours. Thank You for the work that You have given me to do during my time on earth. Lord, I know that without You I can do nothing, and yet I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me. Keep me from the worries of the day and the fears of the night. Keep me from trying to sort out my personal problems without coming to You and relying on Your sufficient strength and promised grace. May I never forget that it is You who provides for my daily needs, and I pray that from this day forward, I may rely on You in all things. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Thank You my Father, for this precious babe that You have graciously entrusted to me to love and cherish, to teach and to train. Lord, it is my desire to dedicate this treasured child back to You, just as Hannah brought her Samuel, to give him back into Your safe-keeping. Keep me from possessiveness and prevent me from clinging too tightly to this little life, but may I give him the freedom to grow without neglecting the responsibilities of parenthood.
Give me godly wisdom as I bring up this little one, and I pray that he will grow up into a great man of God and that one day You would use him in a special way to bring glory to Your name.
Keep him from all harm and danger and help me to train him in all wisdom and grace so that he may follow the path of true righteousness.
I pray that he may come to trust in Jesus Christ as Saviour and that he will grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus, for to know You is life eternal. Keep him from the temptations of this life, and protect him from the influences of this world system, which can so easily shipwreck the pure faith of a young and trusting child.
Just as the Lord Jesus grew in knowledge and wisdom and in favour with God and man, I pray that in a small way my child may grow in godly wisdom and find favour in Your sight. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, You are my God and my Saviour. Thank You for your free gift of grace, which I receive by faith. May I reverence Your name forever and walk in Your ways all the days of my life. All my blessings are rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus my Lord, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to Thy Cross I cling. Thank You, Father, for sending Jesus to pay the shocking price for my sins, His own life-blood shed for me. Thank You that in Him, I have forgiveness of sins and life everlasting. I offer this prayer to you in the name of Jesus Christ, my God and Saviour, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I pray that I may learn to live together with all my brothers and sisters in Christ in godly love and unity, to Your praise and glory. Protect me from wanton discord, disunity, or division, and help all Your children to stand firm in the faith, because through the death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we who are saved are all united together in Him. May I honour Him by living with my brethren in unity. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for all Your loving-kindness towards me and I join with the Psalmist in giving grateful thanks to You, for You are good and tender, gentle and faithful, upright and true. I thank You for Your daily mercies and rejoice for all the kindness You show towards me. I too give thanks with my whole heart and proclaim with my mouth, 'the Lord is good and His mercies endure forever'. Thank You, Heavenly Father, and in Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your goodness and grace and for Your never-failing faithfulness towards the children of men. Thank You for the treasures we discover in the wonderful book of Psalms, and for psalmists, like King David, who wrote of Your faithfulness in times past, Your gracious deliverance in times of need, and Your precious promises in times to come. Thank You for Your unchangeable Word of Truth and the lessons it teaches us. I give you honour, glory, praise, and thanksgiving that Your promises are altogether truth for You have magnified Your Word according to Your holy name. Thank You, in Jesus' name AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what joy it is to know that You know everything about me. Even the things that I do wrong can never separate me from Your unfailing love. Help me to live out this truth in my life, and may I do only those things that are pleasing in Your sight. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Father, I don’t understand how this can be, but praise Your wonderful name that You are with me every step of the way, every moment of my day. I thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, that You know me so intimately and care for me so deeply. Keep me from secret sins and prideful thoughts. Help me to take every thought captive to Christ and to cast all my cares upon You. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how we praise and thank You for the precious little lives of all new-born babies, little toddlers and young children, knowing that each one is special to You and was known in Your heart, even before conception.
Thank You, that You have scheduled every day of each little life, and we praise and thank You for the special plans and purposes You have for every single new-born child, for all babies and infants.
We pray Your loving protection over all babies and their families and pray that many may be brought up to know the Lord Jesus as their Saviour. Give parents and grandparents and all those that are in any way connected with young babies, the wisdom and grace to care for them in a loving and secure environment.
Guard and protect, guide and provide for each innocent little baby and protect their the hearts and minds from a society that has grown far from the God Who created them and sent His Son to die, so that they might life. This we ask in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You saw me before I was born. Thank You that every day of my life was recorded in Your book and every moment of my life is laid out before You. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me praise Your holy name! In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Lord, I don’t want to be anxious about anything, knowing that I can cast all of my anxious thoughts on You, but how difficult I find it to cast all my cares on You, before I start to worry. What often happens is that I become more and more anxious over all the difficulties of life that are crowding in on me, and eventually I turn my thoughts to You and reach out to You in my helplessness.
Lord, in my understanding of Who You are I know that You are always my Rock in times of troubles and over and again I have seen You help in time of need, but very rarely do You act in the way that I expect!
Lord, I know that I am not to be anxious about the provision of life and the needs of the home, nor am I to fret over the actions and attitudes of evildoers, who seem to encompass me on every side, for I know and believe that the day is coming when evildoers will wither away like the grass of the field, as Your Word teaches, while those that trust in the Lord will dwell securely, under the shadow of Your wings.
Help me Lord to cast my anxious thoughts on You before I start to fret. Help me to reach out to You in my helplessness before I try to sort things out myself, for You have promised to be my help in time of trouble. Thank You for being such a faithful God.
Amen.
Loving Father, thank You for the example of the Lord Jesus, Who lived a life that was set forth as incense before You. In the power of Your Spirit, I pray I may cease from my own efforts to follow the perfect example of Jesus, Who only did what He heard from You, through the indwelling Holy Spirit. Help me to live a life that is a sweet-smelling perfume before You, through the power of the Holy Spirit. All praise and worship be to You forever and ever. In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I am sorry for all the times my words have been harsh, untrue, or unhelpful. Help me to take every thought captive so that the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart may always be acceptable to You, my God and my Redeemer. Lead me and guide me in the things that I should say, whether to speak up, or remain silent. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I thank and praise You that Your loving-kindness is new every morning and that You are ready and willing to lead and guide me in the way that I should go. Give me a teachable spirit, I pray, and a heart that is filled with praise for You alone. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I pray that I may know more of Jesus so that I may understand Your way and Your will for my life. Thank You that Your loving-kindness is new every morning and that Your grace is sufficient, and thank You that in Christ, I am enabled to walk in the way that You would have me go. May I lift my soul to Him, submit my life to Him, and follow His leading always. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Father, teach me to do Your will and always to remember Your former goodness, knowing that in all things You are a loving and faithful God, Who has promised to uphold me with Your righteous right hand. Lead me onto level ground I pray, so that I may pass safely through all the changing scenes of this life, knowing that joy always comes in the morning. Guide me aright that I may say and do all that is pleasing in Your sight and may my life glorify Your holy name. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I praise and thank You that You are my God Who is worthy of my continuous praise and worship. Fill my heart each day with songs of thanksgiving and praise for Who You are and what You have done for me. May I never forget Your goodness and grace to all Your children, and keep my heart in a state of ready, worshipful praise. You alone are worthy of honour and highly to be praised. Open the eyes of my understanding more and more so that in every circumstance of life I can sing, "Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised, His greatness is unsearchable." In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Heavenly Father, how wonderful are the works of Your hands and how majestic are Your ways. How amazing Your grace is toward me and how deep Your love is for those of us who are in Christ Jesus. Thank You that I am Your child and the work of Your hands. May I raise my heart and voice, day by day, to sing of Your love and faithfulness to me. In Christ Jesus, my Lord, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank You for Your promise to bind up my brokenness and heal my hurt. May I walk humbly before You, trusting Your many precious promises. I know that You are willing and able to carry me through any and every situation that life may throw at me. Thank You so much for Your loving-kindness toward me. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, You alone are worthy of all praise and glory, for You not only created us, but have redeemed us through the precious blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ. Renew in me a new and glorious song of worship and praise, for You commanded and the world was created, and in Your grace, You gave Your only begotten Son to redeem that same fallen creation. Thank You that I have been born-again into Your new creation in Christ and I pray that I will never become complacent with my salvation, but live and work for Your greater praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
How I praise and thank You, Heavenly Father, for all that You have created. Praise the Lord, for You are worthy of all honour from the heavens above and the earth beneath. Thank You for sending Jesus to be my Redeemer, and thank You that He was willing to stretch out His arms of love for me, on the Cross of Calvary. You alone are worthy of all honour and glory, for all that You are, all that You have done, and all that You have promised to do. Thank You that the works of Your hand are established forever and Your decrees will not pass away. How I praise You that I will be part of that celestial chorus to honour You in the ages to come. In Jesus' name, I pray, AMEN.
