May I respond to the inner promptings of Your Spirit when I am tempted to sin, and help me to become increasingly conscious of Your leading and guiding within. Thank You that You sent Your only begotten Son to die for me so that I might live. Help me to live as You would have me live, in utter dependence upon You, with self nailed to the Cross.

Praying through Romans 1:21

Heavenly Father, the world is becoming increasingly evil, and the rejection of Your gracious offer of salvation, by faith in Jesus Christ, seems to have saturated this fallen world. But You are a God of mercy and grace, Who is not willing that ANY should perish, but that all should come to repentance and faith in Christ. Thank You that every man has the free-will to accept Your offer of salvation, by trusting in Jesus, Who died so that they might live. I pray that many, who are in the valley of decisions, would turn to Christ and trust in You today, for the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting, and use me I pray, to touch the lives of some with the good news of the gospel of God. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.

Praying through Romans 1:22

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 sin. It also tells in detail, that our sins are forgiven by grace through faith in Christ, and how we may live in the power of the indwelling Spirit. I pray that many whose eyes are blinded to the truth, whose consciences have been seared, and whose foolish hearts have bought into Satan's deception, will turn from their wicked ways and call out to Christ for the forgiveness of their sins and life everlasting. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Praying through Romans 1:25

Heavenly Father, thank You for the three-fold witness to the truth of Your Word and for loving me enough to send the Lord Jesus Christ to come to earth as a man and to die on the Cross that I might be saved. I pray for those who are changing the truth of God's Word into a lie, and are serving the creature more than the Creator. Please bring them into a saving knowledge of the truth before it is too late. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.

“Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.”

Heavenly Father, thank You for revealing Your glory to me through Your creation. Thank You for making man in Your image and likeness, and for supplying me with my God-given, innate sense of goodness and justice, so that I may understand right from wrong and choose to do what is good, in the power of the Holy Spirit. But thank You most of all, for sending the Lord Jesus to be my Kinsman Redeemer, to pay the price for my sins, and for receiving the punishment that I justly deserve. Keep me ever mindful of Your goodness and grace toward me and all the children of men. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
