Heavenly Father, thank You for the amazing book of Romans and the clear way that it explains, step-by-step, the depravity of fallen man and consequences of our sin, but then goes on to detail, that our sins may be forgiven – by grace, through faith in Christ, and how we may live in the power of the indwelling Spirit. We pray that many whose eyes are blinded to the truth, whose consciences have been seared and who foolish hearts have bought into Satan’s deception, will turn from their wicked way and call out to Christ for the forgiveness of their sin and life everlasting. This we ask in Jesus name, AMEN.

Give me a heart of compassion towards those that are lost and, and use me to touch lives with love and not with criticism - this I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I am not worthy to gather up the crumbs under Your table and yet You died for me so that my sin and guilt might be washed away.. and I might stand perfect in Your sight.

Give me a heart to share the truth of salvation by grace through faith in Christ with all.. with whom I come in contact - in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.

Thank You for Your grace, Your love, Your Forbearance and for drawing me back once again into Your arms of comfort. In Jesus name, AMEN.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the truths that are contained in the book of Romans. I pray that I may never stray from the gospel of Christ - that I am a sinner and that there is nothing that I can do to merit Your forgiveness, except by grace through faith in the atoning blood of the incarnate Word of God. Thank You that I have been saved - simply because I believe that He took the punishment that I deserved.. and thus transferred me from death to life, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word of truth. Help me to cease from my own strivings by trying to produce works of righteousness, which You have said in Your Word can never justify me in Your sight. Help me to see clearly that the work that You require of me is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and that being a 'doer of the word' is to trust on Him, Who alone can justify the lost sinner and Who alone is the Justifier of all who believe. Help me to see that being a 'doer of the word' is not carrying out works of the flesh or trying to adhere to works of the law, but refers to the one Who believes on Christ for salvation - knowing that it by faith in Him and not by works of the law that we are justified .. and that it is our faith that is credited to us as righteousness, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the light that I have received from You. When I look at the wonders of creation I am amazed that You are mindful of man.. When I realise the depth of sin to which mankind has fallen and the sin that I personally have committed through the witness of my conscience, I have nothing to commend me and stand guilty before Your holy throne.. BUT thanks be to God through Jesus Christ, Who died to pay the enormous price for MY sin, so that by faith in Him I have been declared righteous and have been forgiven of my sins through time and into eternity -praise Your holy name.. and it is in His name I pray, AMEN

Heavenly Father, thank You for Paul's gospel, which is the power of God unto salvation to all who believe. But Lord we live in a world where the truth of the glorious gospel of grace is being sugar-coated; the consequences of sin ignored and the need for salvation is being twisted, ridiculed, disregarded and diminished. I pray that You would use me to speak honestly to those that are under condemnation so that by Your grace some will be plucked from the fiery brands - in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Dear Lord, as I look back over the years, I want to thank You for the many teachers that You placed in my path and for the wonderful ways that so many of the, have influenced me for good, down through the pages of my life.
Thank You for the way that some have equipped me to look at life and encouraged me to reach out to fulfil the potential that was within and have enabled my hidden gifts and talents to blossom and flourish for the benefit of others and to Your glory.
Thank You for those that helped me to focus on the task at hand even when it seemed tedious, knowing that I have been enabled to achieve goals that appeared to be beyond my grasp and achieve objectives that seemed out of reach.
Thank You for the teachers that taught me compassion and brought me into a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and thank You for those, that led me deeper into the Christian life and even corrected me when I started to err from the truth.

Amen
Heavenly Father, thank You for this thorough examination of my sinfulness and my need of Jesus. Correct in me any unworwthy attitudes and perceptions I may have, and I pray that I may not develop the same self-righteous, unfaithful, hypocritical, religious attitude that Paul described in this passage of Romans, but may I live my life in word and deed to Your honour and glory - this I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, forgive me for the times when I have sought to hide my own faults and failings behind a wall of religiosity. Forgive me for the times when I have discredited Your name by my presumptuous words or ungodly deeds. I pray that I may walk in spirit and truth and proclaim the gospel of Christ in truth and in love - not only by what I say and do.. but in the innermost motives of my heart.. so that Christ may be seen in me, to Your honour and glory. This I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that despite being dead in my sins, separated from God and without hope in the world You sent Jesus to die on the cross to pay the price for my sin and to break the power of sin and death in the lives of all who by faith trust in Christ Jesus for salvation. We thank You for the Jewish nation, through whom was given the holy Scriptures and the promised Saviour of the world. We pray that many will come to faith in Jesus as their Jewish Messiah, to His praise and glory AMEN

Thank You that we are declared righteous, by our association with Christ, and identified with His righteousness. Thank You that in Your grace, every sinner has the right to be forgiven of our sin, by faith in Christ.. and have a free-will to choose the good and eschew the evil. We pray that many would reach out to You today and be saved by grace through faith in Him. This we ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You the content of that book of Romans, which clearly teaches that we are justified by grace through faith in Christ. Thank You, for the structured teaching of Paul, and the other apostles - and for the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit. May we read, mark, learn and inwardly digest the word of God, in spirit and in truth - and thank You that the way of salvation, is so uncomplicated.

Heavenly Father, we have all broken Your perfect standard of righteousness, and we all stand guilty before You.

Help me to live in total dependence upon You and not on myself. Thank You that in Christ I am justified, redeemed and clothed in HIS righteousness, and help me I pray, to live as You intended me to live, in utter dependence on YOU and not on myself, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.

Loving Father I have read this passage many times, and I ask You to help me to see more clearly what it means to reckon myself to be dead to the power of sin and alive to You in Christ, for I want to live a victorious life in Him, to Your praise and glory, in His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that at salvation I was positioned in Christ and received a new life in Him. Thank You that at justification I became a new creation and a member of Christ's body.

I confess that I have not only hurt other people, and especially those that are close to me – but I have offended You and ignored some of the warnings that I believe were directly or indirectly sent from You. Help me I pray to break free of this ungodly addiction and get on the road to recovery.
Forgive me Lord I pray me for I have sinned against You and ignored the clear teaching of Your Word to live soberly, righteously and in the fear of the Lord and to walk circumspectly before You, as a child of the light. But I come to You in humble submission to ask You to help me to get on the road to addiction recovery, for I know that You have promised to lift-up all who come to You out of the miry pit – even when we have foolishly dug it for ourselves.
Help me be set free from alcohol.. putting on the breastplate of righteousness, and grace, and for helmet – the hope of salvation in Christ , in Whose name I pray,
Amen
Heavenly Father, thank You for saving me and for the many lives that have been saved by grace through faith in Christ.

Heavenly Father, so many people have fallen into the devastating, downward spiral of alcoholism, and yet in Your grace and mercy we see so many that are being freed from their addiction to alcohol and many more that are coming to faith the Lord Jesus Christ, as a result of a crisis point in their lives, which has so often taken them to the depths of despair.
Thank You Lord for all who have been rescued from alcoholism and for those that have supported them through it.We know that the enemy comes to steal and to kill and to destroy men and women, by enticing them into a life of alcoholism and other evil addictions, but we thank and praise You that Jesus came to destroy the works of the evil one and promised to give life abundantly, to all who trust in Christ as Saviour.

Heavenly Father, I stand amazed at Your knowledge and wisdom, but I stand in awe that You should love us so much that You gave Your only only begotten Son, to die on the cross for me, so that by grace through faith in Him I have been predestined to be conformed into the image and likeness of Jesus - and one day will see Him as He is. I pray that I may live my life as unto the Lord, forgetting that which is past and pressing on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus, in Whose name I pray, AMEN
Thank You Lord for being my Father and forgiving all my sins – not because I deserve it but because Christ died in my place to pay the price for my sins – all of them. Thank You for all You have done for me and that my future glorification is as equally complete in Christ as my past justification, when I first trusted Jesus as Saviour. Thank You that because I am in Christ, You are ‘for me.’ Let me never forget that amazing truth, In Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Father, thank You for this staggering truth that you chose to give up Your only begotten Son as the purchase price for me. Forgive me for the times when I have doubted or questioned Your love.

We pray that Your plans and purposes for mankind would continue to unfold – and will rejoice with all the angels in heaven, when Your chosen people finally cry out to the Lord for Salvation. This we ask in His name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what a comfort to know that nothing will influence Your purpose and plan of redemption - just as there was nothing to influence Your sovereign choice of Jacob over Esau.

Open my eyes, I pray, so that I may see wonderful things in Your written Word - this I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, how we thank You for this beautiful truth, that whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Thank You for Your perfect plan of salvation.. for You know that we are incapable of saving ourselves through the works of the Law - but praise Your holy name that You sent Jesus to be our Salvation - to die on the cross in our place and to rise again the third day, so that whosever calls on His name will be saved - thank You in the name of Jesus, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, there are multitudes of souls in the world today that remain dead in their trespasses and sins. Thank You that You have given me all I need for life and godliness - I ask that You would use me to share the good news of Christ with others, and pray that You would send more labourers into the harvest-fields of the world, and bring many souls to saving faith in Jesus, in Whose name I pray AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the book of Romans and the clearly presented message of the gospel of grace by which sinful man may be reconciled back to God.. by faith in the Person and Work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. Help me to speak the truth - in love, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN

How wonderful it is to know that we are all one in Christ and have that unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace and love.
We lift up the wider church family and pray that You would meet each one in their own particular time of need.

Keep us all we pray in a bond of unity and may Christ be lifted up in the heart of each one – this we ask in Jesus name,
Amen
Heavenly Father, as I read through the book of Romans I am coming to an understanding that the time for Christ's return is drawing ever closer. In this broken world of sin I realise how easy it is to lose our focus on Christ and be drawn into the many deceptive teachings that are flooding the world and being taught by many church congregations. Keep me alert and awake to the knowledge that the night has almost gone and the day for Christ's return is fast approaching. Help me to be a living sacrifice and a shining light in this darkened world and help me to lay aside any and every worldly activity that discredits Your name, and I pray that I may clothe myself daily in Christ's armour of light, as I see the day of His return approaching. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Father, I thank You for the many blessings that You have graciously bestowed on me, and in such abundance, but Lord my heart aches for my son, who has become so addicted to alcohol causing his life to almost spiral out of control.
Lord I am powerless to do anything to help him and he seems so lost and in so pain and I beg You Father to intervene in his life and show us what we can do to get things under control.. help him to break free of this terrible addiction and get back some semblance of normality due to this into this heart-rending situation.
Lord I know that You have plans for my son and yet he has strayed so far from the path of Your choosing – but Father I pray that in Your grace and mercy You would show us what to do to free him from His addiction to alcohol. Give me Your strength of Your mighty power to support his through this difficult time and help him I pray to break free from his alcoholism – and to You be all the praise and glory - this I ask in Jesus name,
Amen
Heavenly Father, thank You that I am in Christ through faith in his finished work at Calvary. I recognise that I am in a spiritual battle and I can only be victorious as I abide in Christ and He in me. Keep me from trying to live my life in my own strength, but I pray that I may put on the Lord Jesus in spirit and truth - to His praise and glory, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, forgive me for the times when I have not acted in godly love towards my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ who may be weaker in the faith than I and who may hold to some practices and biases from which I have been set free. Keep me from developing a critical spirit towards other members of Your Body, and help me not to do anything from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility of heart, count others more significant than myself - this I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Loving Father, it is my chief complaint that I do not love and serve You as I ought - I can only do those things that please You as I decrease, and You increase in my life. Please help me to shed all hidden pride and all appearances of self-importance so that I may be used by You - so that whether I live or whether I die, I do all to Your praise and glory - in the name of Jesus Christ I pray. AMEN.
Loving Father, I pray that in all things I live to please You – not in my own strength but through the power of Your Holy Spirit. Bring me to the point with I can say without hesitation, Thy will, not mine be done – this I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father I thank You that Your perfect plans and purposes can never be frustrated and that You are working quietly in the background in order that Your divine will continues to progress towards its ultimate goal, as year succeeds to year.
I praise You that You have given me life and made me a new creation in Christ and thank You Father, that You have a special purpose for my life too. Thank You that by Your grace You are carrying out Your purposes in the lives of all Your children - that Christ is all and in all and I pray that this may be realized in my life too.
Enable and equip me I pray, to fulfill the plan and purpose that you have for me to do and I ask that You would use each gift and every talent that You have graciously given to me, to Your praise and glory.
Help me to fulfill all that You would have me do in my life and may I be obedient to Your voice as I seek to carry out Your purpose for my life. May I rejoice evermore and pray without ceasing.
May I give thanks in all things and hearken to the voice of Your Holy Spirit and may I hold fast to that which is good and abstain from all forms of evil – knowing that this is Your will for my life.. in Jesus name I pray,
Amen
Loving Father, keep me I pray from trying to maintain Church unity at the expense of the truth of the gospel of grace, but also keep me from allowing the beautiful freedom I have by grace through faith in Christ, from criticising others whose consciences lead them in a different direction. Help me therefore to make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification – for I desire to glorify Your name in all I say and do, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Loving Father, I pray that I may be one that walks in righteousness, before You, at peace with all around me, while rejoicing in You for the privilege of being made a child of the kingdom and a son of the most High, in Jesus name I pray. 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, 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 – and 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,
Amen
Loving Lord, I recently had an abortion because I was pregnant and did not want to have another baby – but since going through the abortion Lord, I find that I am beset about by guilt and my heart feels as if it is torn in two.
Lord You have promised to be close to those whose hearts are breaking – I know that what I did was wrong, because You are the Lord of life, but Father You are also the great God of comfort and the Comforter that has promised to be with us always and to comfort us in our distresses.
Lord I have just read the prayer ‘I Had An Abortion,’ and I thank You that You died to pay the price for all my sins, including this abortion. Lord I know that any deep wound takes much time to heal, but I pray Lord that You would start to mend my broken heart today and to soothe my smarting soul.
Give me the comfort that only comes from You to face the future, knowing that in Your sight I am pure and forgiven– and thank You for Your great assurance that there is no sin that is so bad that You are unwilling to forgive.
Thank You in Jesus name,
Amen
Heavenly Father, thank You that Christ came to earth to become my Saviour. Thank You that He did not come to please Himself but was prepared to say: Thy will be done, even when He faced the cross, knowing that it was only by His death that we can have life. Lord we pray Your mercy on those that have been blinded to the truth by the enemy of our soul and pray that even today, many would come to faith in Christ and discover that in Him is life and light for evermore.. in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, we praise and thank You for the Word of God and the wonderful truths it contains. Thank You for not only unveiling Your gracious character and eternal goodness to us through Your Word.. but that it was written to instruct us on how to live and to teach us all that You would have us learn. Help me to live in this fallen world with patient endurance as I look to Jesus and thank You for the glorious hope I have in Christ Jesus my Lord. Praise His holy name.. for it is in Him alone that we have a blessed hope, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You are a good and faithful God, Who keeps His promises to the children of men. Thank You that Jesus set aside His exalted glory and was born into the Jewish race, as prophesied of old. Thank You that Jesus came as Israel's Servant-King, knowing He would not be received by His own people, but would suffer rejection, humiliation and death at their hands. Thank You that by Christ's life, death and resurrection You have proved to Israel, the Church and the Gentile nations, that You are a God Who is faithful to His promises and that Your holy Word stands fast for ever and ever. Praise Your holy name – AMEN.
Father we offer our grateful thanks and praise for the army of volunteers that quietly yet faithfully offer their services for the wellbeing and support of others.
We ask Your special blessing on each one, knowing that they are the unsung heroes that receive little thanks for their valuable contribution and who are so often taken for granted by those that they freely serve.
Provide for the needs of each one and protect them from those that might intentionally or unwittingly exploit their generous nature - this we ask in Jesus name,
Amen
Loving Father, my heart rejoices as I realise the depth of love You have for me. You truly are my glorious God of Hope and I thank You that this is not the chance “hope” of the world but a hope that is securely founded on Your unchangeable Word. Enable me to share this truth to those with whom I come in contact today, to Your praise and glory, in Christ’s name, AMEN.
Dear God – the only source of healing and hope and the one fountain of peace and hope – look down in pity and mercy on Your many children who are facing adversity and afflicted by the miseries that this world system is imposing.
Provide for the needs for all those that are called by Your name, who are facing financial hardships and health problems. Enrich them with Your heavenly hope; nourish them with all Your goodness and bring each of them safely into their promised home ,
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
Heavenly Father, how gracious You are to bring into my life my many precious friends - all of which have become so special to me in their own individual and unique way.
I feel so blessed to be surrounded with so many dear people that I love and care for, and for the knowledge that they also love and care for me too – and thank You for the support that I have so often received from different ones , during those times of difficulty and pain.
Thank You also for the valuable lessons that I have learned through… some of which have been very difficult, and yet I have been have enabled through their loving support and encouragement to grow spiritually and emotionally – and gain wisdom and insight in so many important ways.
Help me to be the sort of friend that is always there for others. An ear to listen, a hand to help and a heart to comfort – and help me to grow in grace and in a knowledge of our Saviour, Lord Jesus, so that I me be His hand, His ear, His heart and His comfort to the many precious people that You have place in my life, in Jesus name I pray,
Amen
Dear heavenly Father, how we thank and praise You for the glorious revelation of Your amazing salvation, by grace through faith. Open my heart to know You more and may I love You more each day and walk in the path of righteousness, to Your praise and glory, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
