I stand amazed and kneed in awe as I consider Jesus, Your only begotten Son and Firstborn from the dead, Whose name is Faithful and True, Who washed me clean in His cleansing blood and Who loves me. Praise Your name and give me a deeper understanding of this amazing love you have for all your children and use me in Your service to Your praise until He returns, in His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I am not worthy to gather up the crumbs under Your table and yet you have chosen me to be part of Your heavenly kingdom., Thank You that I am in Christ and have become part of Your body, which is the Church. Thank You that together we have been sanctified unto God.. chosen to become a royal priesthood, a holy nation and a people for his own possession, Lord I offer my body, my life, myself - my all to be a living sacrifice to You. May I live to Your praise and glory from this day forward.. even for ever more AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word, and the truths is contains. Thank You that I am part of Your body and am privileged to be an ambassador on earth. May I reflect the light of Your love and truth to others in all I say and do - in Jesus name I pray, AMEN
It was John, the beloved disciple, who loved his Lord with a deep passion and who had walked with Jesus from the start of His three year ministry that was given this unique glimpse of the risen, ascended and glorified Son of Man. John had been one who had walked with Him by the way, listened to His teachings, seen the signs and miracles Jesus had performed; witnessed His tender-mercy and loving compassion; been empowered to carry out mighty signs and great wonders in His holy name.
John had even glimpsed the magnificent vision of the glorious transfiguration of God's dearly beloved Son - and it was John who turned, and saw ONE, like unto the Son of Man, standing in the middle of seven candlesticks, clothed with a garment down to His feet and girt about the breasts with a golden girdle.
No wonder the appearance of his risen, ascended, glorified Lord caused John to fall at His feet as if dead. This was a vision of the eternal, transcendent, almighty God, Who stood before him surrounded by seven candlesticks, which represented the Christian Church. And before this elderly apostle of love stood the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last - the Beginning and the End - the King of kings and Lord of lords. And yet this was none other than Jesus of Nazareth Who in His earthly walk was despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
This was the incarnate Son of God Who had laid aside His heavenly glory so that He could be born into the race that He Himself had created, in order that you and I could become a chosen people; a royal priesthood; a holy nation and children of God - accepted in the Beloved.
The unknowable God made Himself known to us through the Lord Jesus Christ: the eternal Son of God and perfect Son of Man. Though he is now seated at the right hand of the Father, His appearance to John reminds us that He is ever present with His children - standing in the midst of His people, holding each of us in the palm of His hand, our shield and defender, the ancient of days, pavilioned in splendour and girded with praise.
Jesus came to earth as the suffering Servant of God so that He could save His people from their sins by means of His sacrificial death and glorious resurrection and Jesus is returning to set up His kingdom as King of kings and Lord of lords. But the most precious name for our Saviour is JESUS - SON of MAN.
And Jesus is soon returning to earth as the Son of Man, to take us to be with Himself. Let us worship Him in the beauty of holiness and sing forth His praises in time and through eternity.
Loving Father, thank You for sending the Lord Jesus to be Son of Man so that I can become a child of God. Thank You Father that He became flesh and took the punishment that I deserve upon Himself for which I praise Your glorious name. Thank You that He is returning soon to take me to be with Himself – glory be to the Father and the Son and to the Holy Spirit, in His name I pray, AMEN.
Thank You Lord for the wonderful revelation of Jesus and the glorious hope that I have in You. I pray that Jesus may be first and last in every area of my life, as I wait in glorious anticipation of His return, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the spiritual instructions I have in Your Word and the warnings, that help to keep me looking to Jesus. I pray that my devotion for You will not grow cold, but that in all things I will become more and more thrilled with the wonders of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour. May my love for You start to reflect, in some small way, the love that You have shown to me. And thank You for the many privileges that are mine in Christ, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You that I am an overcomer in Christ and have been given eternal life by grace through faith in Him. Thank You that I will not be hurt by the second death, because I am covered in His righteousness. I pray that in Your strength, I may overcome any difficulties, dangers, persecution and pain I may face, knowing that His grace is sufficient - and I pray that I may be faithful to the point of death, so as to win the Crown-of-Life.. for Your honour and glory - this I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Holy and heavenly Father, thank You for giving us the true gospel in Your Word. We pray for those who are enslaved to the false doctrines of Thyatira.. with their secret teachings, legalist rites, priestly absolution, suffocating indulgencies and other unbiblical practices. Expose those that teach falsely and open the eyes of those that have been subjected to their suffocating effects. We pray.. that as we wait for Christ's any-day return, we will hold fast to the faith, until His appearing - in His name we pray, AMEN.
Thank You Father for Your glorious grace, which is extended to me and all that have strayed from Your paths of righteousness. Thank You for these warnings to get my life back in to right relationship with You and I repent of all my back-sliding and disinterest in what is so important – being in fellowship with You. I pray that from today forward I may only do those things that are pleasing in Your sight, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your many precious promises and thank You also, for the serious warning that believers that live in carnality will suffer loss, when they come into Your presence. Lord, I do not want to compromise my faith, and waste my Christian life by living in carnality. I desire to do Your will for Your greater praise and glory. Help me to stay alert, remain obedient to Your Word, die to the desires of the flesh and live my life for Christ. Thank You that as Your child I am already an overcomer, by faith.. and that my name is written in the Lamb's book of life and can never be erased. However Lord, I want to carry out the works of righteousness, that You have prepared for me to do, in the power of the Holy Spirit, and to hear You say well done good and faithful servant, in the presence of God the Father and His holy angels. Keep me pure in spirit and deed unto my life's end - this I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
O God, our Father, help us to see ourselves as children who seek guidance; children who walk in the midst of many dangers.
Help us not to be afraid so long as we walk close to Thee. Thy ways, O God are higher than our ways and often we do not understand. Teach us, O God, that we do not have to understand but to trust and Thou wilt see us through every difficulty in life.
When Thou art near, I am not afraid, I want to “draw nigh to God” in the assurance that when I do, He will “draw nigh unto me,”
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Keep me Lord Jesus from developing an attitude of complacency in my Christian walk, and alert me to the many pitfalls and perils that strew the paths of all Your children. Keep me I pray, in full and utter dependence upon You alone, every moment of the day.. and I pray that one day I may stand before Your throne and hear You say, well done, good and faithful servant - in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what an amazing privilege to be identified with Christ as a member of His Body and to have the seal of the indwelling Holy Spirit as a guarantee, that we will be permanently established as pillars in the Temple of God, to Your praise and glory. Thank You that as Your children, we have Christ's name engraved upon us forever, and that nothing in heaven above nor the earth beneath, can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord, in Whose name we pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You.. that I have the opportunity to learn a spiritual lesson, on how to live godly in Christ Jesus, through the failure of these people at Laodicea. I pray that my life may become a light in a darkened world and that my word may be witness to the goodness and grace of God.. to all, with whom I come in contact, for Your praise and glory - this I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father - the Lord Jesus Himself said that those that are pure in heart are truly blessed, but Lord I know that of myself I can never attain the standard of purity that You require. Lord, I know that only as I allow the Holy Spirit to live in me, work through me – to teach and train me will I come to that purity of heart that only comes from You – as You conform Your children into the image and likeness of the Lord Jesus.
Lord for too long I have been smugly comparing myself advantageously with others around me, and believing that I was pure in Your eyes - but now that I have come to realise that the only standard to which You are comparing me is the Lord Jesus, I humbly kneel before You, at the foot of Your throne and ask your forgiveness for my self-indulgent pride and ego-centricity. May I look to Jesus and live as He lived in spirit and truth – seeking only to do Your will and to live a life that honour You.
Search my heart and purify my thoughts and may Your indwelling Holy Spirit identify any pride and self-importance that is lurking within, and conform me day by day into the likeness of the Lord Jesus – and help me to make the right choices in my life.. the choices that honour You, in Jesus name I pray,
Amenm You – as You conform Your children into the image and likeness of the Lord Jesus.

Loving Father, thank You so much that You love me enough to discipline me when my focus strays from what is acceptable to You and beneficial for me. Help me to value what is important and to keep the focus of my heart - always on You, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Father, I know that my heart is not as fervently in love with you as it should be—thank You for Your grace and long-suffering patience with me. I confess I have quenched the Spirit in my life with my indifferent attitude and I want to change and live in submission to You… come into my heart today Lord Jesus and fellowship with me – for in You is the fullness of joy, I pray in Jesus name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I realise how easy it is to become complacent and lukewarm in our Christian walk, when we allow the passing things of this world to take our attention away from Jesus. May the eye of my heart be rooted and grounded in Him - and I pray that I may live a life that honours Your name, so that I may overcome in all things, and gain the promised reward.. of sitting with Christ on His throne, in His coming kingdom. This I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the Word of God and the indwelling Spirit of truth. I pray that by faith I may hear all that the Spirit has to say to the churches and apply all that I hear in my own life to Your praise and glory. Keep me from spiritual adultery, false teachings and anything else that might cause me to compromise my faith in Christ Jesus my Lord.. Who died for me so that by faith in Him I might overcome the world, the flesh and the devil - this I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Thank You Father God that I have been made clean through the blood of my Saviour Jesus Christ. Thank You that my sins have been washed away forever, and I pray that as I live the Christian life I may be continuously cleansed through the washing of the Word of God – for Your Word is pure and wholesome – Your Word is light and life.. Sanctify me by Your Word of grace I pray.
Help me to look deeply into Your Word of truth, knowing that the more that I am washed and cleansed by the written Word of God, the more I will come to see the lovely face of the living Word of God- my beautiful Saviour - Jesus Christ my Lord
I pray that my heart and mind may be purified daily but the cleansing flood that comes from You and I pray that rivers of living water may flow from You through me to others – so that I may reflect the love of God in my life and point others to Christ. May the face of Jesus my Saviour be the only thing that others see in me – for I must decrease so that He may increase – I ask this in Jesus name
Amen
Holy Father, there is none like You and You alone are worthy of all glory and praise. Thank You for my salvation and that I have been bought with the precious blood of Christ, so that I too can sing in the eternal ages to come, Holy, Holy, Holy, LORD God Almighty, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what a blessing to know that WE are the ones that will be uniting our voices with that angelic chorus, to sing that glorious song that the 24 elders sing. Thank You that WE have been redeemed by Your blood - thank You that I have been saved by grace through faith in the shed blood of my Saviour, Jesus Christ, and that because He rose, I too have risen into newness of life, and will one day be wholly sanctified - spirit, soul and body. Praise Your holy name, and it is in the precious name of Jesus that I offer this prayer to You, Who alone deserves all honour and glory, AMEN
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your written word and for the wonderful truths it contains. We praise and thank You for the godly instruction it teaches and the prophetic scriptures it foretells. Thank You that I can sing the new song of the 24 elders - for Christ Jesus was slain for me, and has redeemed me to God by His precious blood. Thank You for the many men and women of God, in this dispensation of grace, who have been redeemed out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation. Thank You, that by faith in Him, we have all been made kings and priests of God: and will one day rule and reign on the earth - with Christ Jesus our Lord, in Whose name we pray. AMEN.
We praise You Father God for the amazing grace that You have granted through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ the Lamb that was slain for me. I am not worthy to pick up the crumbs under Your table yet You have clothed me in Your own righteousness – I praise Your name forevermore, and in the name of Jesus I offer this prayer to You, before Your throne of grace, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for telling us the end from the beginning. Thank You that by grace through faith I am part of the body of Christ – and have been saved from the wrath to come. We praise Your name and thank You that Israel will finally fulfil their covenant promise – to be a light to the Gentiles and to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom throughout the world. Thank You that by Your grace, a multitude without number will be saved out-of the wrath to come. Thank You in Jesus name. Maranatha – Come Lord Jesus, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You that Your mercies are new every morning and that it is not Your will that any should perish, but that all should come to faith in Christ Jesus our Lord. Thank You for all who have become part of Christ's body, by faith in Him, and we praise You that You are ready and willing to save all in the coming great tribulation, who place trust in Christ as their God and Saviour. Thank You that Jesus is the good Shepherd of the sheep, and the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world - to save us from our sin. Thank You that Jesus is the water of life, the rock of our salvation and the Lamb in the midst of the throne.. and we praise Your holy name that the day is coming when He will wipe away all tears from the eyes of all who have placed their trust in Him - thank You in Jesus name, AMEN.
Dear Lord God, I seek a true inner purity that only comes from You and I come to You, knowing that I stand unclean, impure and wretched before Your perfect throne of purity and truth. Lord I ask Your forgiveness for the way that I have not honoured You with my body – knowing that I have engaged in many impure acts and unchaste thoughts. I confess that I am unworthy to even kneel before Your perfect presence – and yet I now understand that Christ died to pay the price for all my sins and all my impurities. Thank You that by believing in Jesus, Who died to pay the price for all my sins, You have washed me clean from every dishonouring act. Thank You Father.
Help me Lord to flee fornication and all the accompanying evils that flow from illicit sexual relationships and unclean thoughts – knowing that my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, Who dwells in me and lives within my heart. Help me to keep my outward actions and inner thoughts pure before Your eyes – whether I am in the public view or hid in a secret place, and away from the gaze of the world’s eye.
Purify the eyes of my heart and help me to keep the focus of my mind on the Lord Jesus - and develop in me I pray, thoughts, words, deeds and motives that are pure in Your sight and that will honour Your Holy name, in Jesus name I pray,
Amen
Heavenly Father, thank You that You have given us Your holy word and opened up for our learning all that You would have us to know and understand about the Person and Work of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Help me to be diligent in studying Your word. Help me to read; mark; learn and inwardly digest all that is contained within its sacred pages. Open up my understanding to all those passages which are hard to understand, but also keep me from seeking to look in to the hidden mysteries that belong to God alone.. this I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the amazing book of Revelation, which explains the end from the beginning. Thank You that You have protected Your people Israel, from the evil enemy of man's soul, and that Your plans and purposes, for the redemption of mankind, will be fully and finally realised. Expose the works of the evil one we pray, and open the eyes of those who are been blinded by His deceit and deception. Bring many sons to glory we pray and may Your name be glorified, not only in this age but in the age to come - in Jesus name we pray, AMEN.
Thank You Father for the salvation, strength and security I have received from the Lord Jesus Christ and for the victory He won for me through His blood. In Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Father thank You for the simplicity of the gospel of grace and for dying for me, to pay the price for my sins. I pray that you will open the eyes of my understanding to the deeper truths contained in Your Word and will come to know You more each day. I pray that the eyes of many who have been deceived by Satan lies will be come to saving faith in Jesus Christ – in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word and for telling us the end from the beginning. Thank You that I am in Christ and not appointed for wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. We pray that many who are blinded by Satan to the truth of the glorious gospel of Christ will come to know the truth and be set free from the wrath that is to come - this we ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that I have been clothed in the righteousness of Christ by faith. Help me to carry out the work that You have prepared for me to do in Your strength and not in my own power. I pray that I may live a holy and sanctified life, that honours You in thought word and deed - by giving up myself to Your service and doing only those things that are directed by You - for Your praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You have given us an understanding of Your perfect plan of redemption. Thank You that the day is coming when all Your promises to both Israel and the Church will be finally and fully fulfilled - evil will be subdued and You will rule and reign in righteousness. Praise Your holy name, AMEN
Heavenly Father, how we praise and thank You for Your plan of redemption and the wonderful way that You are restoring the dominion that was taken from Adam and have given it to our Saviour Jesus Christ - Who is God of all gods and the perfect Man of all men. Thank You that He died in our place so that we can be redeemed by His blood and rule and reign with Him in glory - to Whom be all honour and glory for ever and ever, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for telling us the end from the beginning, so that we do not have any excuse to reject Your gracious offer of salvation – by grace through faith in Christ’s atoning work on Calvary and His glorious resurrection from the dead. Lord there are many that remain dead in their trespasses and sins and will face this terrible time of Jacob’s Trouble if they do not turn from their sin and trust in Christ for salvation. Use me to spread abroad the glories of His name and the serious consequences that await those who reject Your offer of redemption. May Your holy name be praised, and we pray in unison – Maranatha – Come Lord Jesus, in Whose name we pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, it is a sober thought to realise that all who reject God's offer of salvation will take part in the second resurrection.. and have to face the great white throne judgement, and the second death. I pray that You would use me in the time that we have left to witness of the glorious gospel of the grace of God - that Christ died for our sins, and was buried and rose again so that whosever believes on HIM would not perish but take part in the first resurrection and receive life everlasting - this I ask in Jesus name, AMEN
Heavenly Father, Your goodness and grace towards the children of men is staggering - for we have all sinned and should all receive the wages of our sin, which is death. And yet by grace, Christ died for my sin and took the punishment on my account.. and for all who trust in His name. Thank You that by grace I will not be standing before the great white judgement throne of God.. but I pray that while there is still time, some who are living in unbelief will come to a knowledge of the truth and into a saving faith in Christ.. in Whose name we pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your plan of salvation and for sending the Lord Jesus to be my Redeemer. Thank You for all that You have planed and purposed for me .. and for all who have trusted in the redeeming work of Christ. Thank You that the day is coming when You will make a new heaven and a new earth, where sin and death will be no more and You will wipe away every tear from our eyes. Thank You that my eternal future is secure in Christ - You alone are worthy of all praise and glory for ever and ever, AMEN.
Thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God that Your word tells us that whoever is born of God overcomes the world. Thank You that my victory does not depend on my merit or my abilities but on Christ, Who overcame on my behalf when He died for me on Calvary's cross and rose again. I pray that I may live my life in a manner that is worthy of You, to Your praise and glory.. in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many warnings we receive of the importance of believing on the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin and life everlasting. Thank You that by grace through faith in Christ, I will not be hurt by “The Second Death”. In Your wrath and judgement, we pray that You would be merciful, and we ask that many unbelievers would hear the good news of the gospel and be saved, and escape from the wrath to come. Thank You that You judge the world in righteousness – in Jesus name we pray, AMEN.
When I truly reflect on Who You are, my Lord and my God - and that You left Your heavenly throne of splendour and came to earth to suffer a life of humiliation and death - and all for love of me, how can it be? Thank You my Father, thank You Lord Jesus, my Saviour. thank You. AMEN.
Heavenly Father, Your plan of redemption is staggering, and I worship and praise You, for Your goodness and grace to the children of men. Thank You that You sent the Lord Jesus to be born into the human race so that by faith in Him, we may be transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Your dear Son. Thank You for revealing Your plans and purposes through the holy Scriptures, and for purposing that the eternal Son should be born as the perfect Man - to die and rise again for my sake. As I watch for the any day return of Jesus, keep me focussed on You, so that I may live and work to Your praise and glory, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus is the Living Water in Whom are the words of eternal life, and Who satisfies the thirsty. Thank You that I am part of His bride and I long for that day, when Christ returns to take us to be with Himself into heaven. I pray that the many souls that are lost in sin and facing a lost eternity, without God and without hope, would come, and drink of the living water, and be saved, through faith in Him. Maranatha - Come Lord Jesus, in Whose name we pray, AMEN
Heavenly Father, thank You for the truth of Your unchanging and unchangeable Word. May we study to show ourselves approved unto God and not be swayed by any wind of doctrine that covertly takes-away or adds to Your word of truth. Guide me into all truth, I pray, through the power of You indwelling Holy Spirit and enable me to share the truth in love, and challenge those that have deviated from Your word for another gospel – this I ask in Jesus name, AMEN
Dear Lord Jesus, as we anticipate Your soon return, we glorify Your name for Your precious reassurances that Your word is faithful and true and that You have promised to return one day soon to take us to live with You forever, where all tears will be wiped away and all our sadness will be turned into joy. Praise Your name for this blessed assurance, in Jesus name. AMEN.
