05.16.08
Dear Lord,
Lord Jesus, You reign over all the earth and also in my heart. What an awesome blessing you have given me. As I consider that it is not by my might, nor power, nor works, but by Your Spirit in me that my personal mountains are moved and I am able to serve You. I may struggle to get the mountains to move, but my faith in You along with patience and not giving up on You will break them down and turn them into sand. Help me, Lord to stay focused on You and not the problems or challenges before me so that I can receive the blessings that You have in store for my perseverance. In Jesus' name......Amen.

05.15.08
Dear Lord,
You have called us, Your servants, to exercise our talents to the contributing of the needs of others, leading, and being vessels of Your mercy. Help us not to be fearful or timid in exercising our talents that flow from Your power within us, since it is not for our own glory, but rather for the building up of the body of Christ.  We are inadequate within ourselves, but fully sufficient according to the grace given to us through Your Holy Spirit. We seek affirmation from You, the opportunities You provide us, to confirm our talents and to use them for You. In Jesus' name........Amen.

05.14.08
Dear Lord,
Your kingdom of light stands in great contrast to Satan’s dominion of darkness. As Your children we want our lives to be characterized by light, the light of Your Holy Spirit, who dwells within our hearts.  Thank You for taking us out of the dominion of evil and placing us under the benevolent rule of Your Son, Jesus Christ.  This brought about a great deliverance from our powerless life where we had no control over the evil one to a life where Your indwelling power can conquer any foe. You have not only delivered us in the past but You will continue to deliver us from the venomous attacks of Satan as we set our hope in You. In Jesus name......Amen.

05.13.08
Dear Lord,
Forgive us when we seek after temporal solutions to meet the deep yearnings of our heart. Your eternal solution was to send Jesus, Your Son, to give us life, a life that is no longer empty or imprisoned by sin’s chains. Thank You for Jesus who came that we might have abundant life through His substitutionary death on our behalf. Nothing on earth and no person dear to our hearts deserves our allegiance more than our Savior.  Thank You for coming; thank You for giving and thank You for saving us from ourselves.  In Jesus' name.......Amen.

05.12.08
Dear Lord,
We are but clay in Your hands, Lord. May You break down the hardened walls of our heart and reshape us into a useful vessel that is fully yielded to Your workmanship.  As we are crafted by the Master Potter, painful as it may be, let our confidence be founded upon the Rock of Ages rather than the shifting sands of our circumstances.  May we be faithful and obedient so that You pour out Your glory and honor through us, Your yielded vessels. In Jesus' name........Amen.

05.10.08
Dear Lord,
Lord Jesus, I am full of gratitude today as I consider Your abiding presence in my life.  You planned my existence in my mother's womb before I even drew my first breath.  When so many people have come into my life and exited it throughout the years You have taken up residence and You forever rule my heart.  When the path before me was unclear You have always gone before me sustaining me in my wilderness journey. Though all forsake me You remain faithful, and remarkable as it seems, even if we are faithless, You will remain faithful, for You cannot deny Yourself.  Thank You for being my Supreme Savior and the Sustainer of my soul. In Jesus' Name.....Amen.

05.09.08
Dear Lord
We are confronted with deception on many fronts every day, so much so, that we can be deceived without even realizing it.  Would You help us to watch out and be on our guard so that we are not deceived by man’s words, no matter how convincing they are, how charming their personality, or how cunning their craft.  Help us not to fall for Satan’s deceptive tactics that have brought down believers throughout the church age.  We seek You for strength and discipline.  We search the Scriptures for discernment and the true revelation of who Jesus is; the Son of the Living God.  In Jesus' name.....Amen.

05.07.05
Dear Lord,
I pray that You will help me to sow for myself righteousness, so that I will reap the fruit of Your unfailing love.  Break up the unplowed ground of my heart that is stony and hard so that I acknowledge my sins, receive Your forgiveness, and look to You for guidance.  May I thoroughly discern the vain philosophies and empty deception that pervades our society.  I want to seek Your will above man’s agenda so that You shower Your blessings upon me.  In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.

05.06.05
Dear Lord,
As we live by faith and not by sight we see much of what the world does not see because we see it through eyes of faith. By faith we see a risen Savior who died for us and who is now interceding on our behalf. By faith we believe that life’s trials will be worth it all when we are ushered into the pearly gates and gather with saints of all the ages to praise our glorious Savior around the throne. It is by faith that we come to Jesus and it is by faith that we will stay the course.  For it is not the one who runs the swiftest nor the one who runs for a day, but the one who endures to the end that will be saved. The struggles of this life diminish when we walk by faith and not by sight.  Navigate our steps as we journey here and deliver us from all unrighteousness. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.

05.05.08
Dear Lord,
I confess to You that my heart can easily become like unplowed ground. Destructive attitudes that I justify rather than repent of remain in my heart and cause me to be hardened toward You and others that I love. I invite the work of Your Holy Spirit to cleanse, renew and refresh me as I yield my heart to the searchlight of Your Word.  As I seek You, Lord, You will come and shower Your righteousness and blessing upon my life as the fruit of Your unfailing love flows out to those around me.  In Jesus' name, I pray....Amen.

05.03.08
Dear Lord,
Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.

05.02.08
Dear Lord,
You have called us, Your servants, to exercise our gifts of prophesying, serving, teaching, encouraging, contributing to the needs of others, leading, and being vessels of Your mercy. Help us not to be fearful or timid in exercising our spiritual gift that flows from Your power within us, since it is not for our own glory but rather for the building up of the body of Christ.  We are inadequate within ourselves, but fully sufficient according to the grace given us through Your Holy Spirit.  We seek affirmation from You, the ministry opportunities You provide us, and other mature believers, to confirm our spiritual giftings.  In Jesus' name, we pray.....Amen!

04.30.08
Dear Lord,
Help me to remain faithful to You and your calling upon my life.  Strengthen and grow my faith as I daily search Your Scriptures and apply their truths to my spiritual walk. As I go through the trials and experiences of my earthly journey would You fix my eyes and my ever-wandering heart upon Jesus. When the howling winds and forceful storms of this life attempt to shipwreck my faith may they instead prove my faith to be more than sufficient to withstand the continual assaults from the enemy.  Because I take refuge in Jesus my spiritual foundation is firm, always dependable, and leads me to glorious victory. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen

04.29.08
Dear Lord,
As we examine the emotional pain of our lives, when it seems as though You’ve forgotten about us, we often start out with the question of “Why?”  But in hindsight we realize that those struggles taught us practical truths that we could not learn overnight but over time, and that there truly was purpose in our pain and in Your timing.   Help us to model integrity and steadfastness in the midst of the severe struggles and sweeping storms of life.  Your eternal purpose is greater than our temporal pain.  Remind us that it may not just be for our own instruction but for others looking on who may learn from our difficult experiences. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.

04.26.08
Dear Lord,
You have called us to live at peace with all people, in as much as it is possible.  As people of free will we cannot force reconciliation but we can facilitate reconciliation.  Help us to lay aside pride, prejudice, procrastination and preconceived ideas of the outcome so that we take the first step toward reconciliation.  We want to trust You to guide us in this most important endeavor as we attempt to live at peace with all people
In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.

04.25.08 (Psalm 23)
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
===========================================================

04.24.08 (From Psalm 17)
Dear Lord,
Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them. Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. In Jesus' name, I pray......Amen.
=============================================================

04.23.08
Dear Lord,
It is in my hour of need that I see Your powerful provision in my life. When I'm in need of comfort, You are my Comforter. When I'm in need of courage You go before me. When I'm in need of friendship You are my friend that sticks closer than a brother.  When I'm in need of stability You are the Anchor for my soul. When I'm in need of finances You own the cattle on a thousand hills. When I'm in need of peace You are the peacemaker. When I'm in need of food You are the Bread of Life.  When I'm thirsty You are the living water that leads to eternal life. You are my Shepherd and I shall never be in want of anything. Thank You for meeting every need I have. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.
=========================================================

04.22.08
Dear Lord,
Help our ears to be alert, our eyes to be open, and our hearts perceptive as we follow in Your ways. May we be eager to hear Your teaching and apply it to our lives so that we may be found blameless before You and experience the joy You give to those who follow Your commands. When Your meaning is clear help us to seek no other meaning to satisfy our own desires or to change the clear meaning of Your message. Align our desires with Your own, that we might find genuine peace and wholehearted obedience as You bring spiritual healing to our lives. Help us to follow Your will as You will bless us abundantly in doing so. In Jesus' name, I pray....Amen.
============================================================

04.21.08
Dear Lord,
Often the daily grind is not appealing as I awaken each morning to the tasks before me.  Sometimes the routine seems endless and at times pointless.  I find myself lacking fulfillment in this aspect of my life and yet it requires the majority of my time and focus.  Jesus, please help me to find the hidden strength that only comes from seeking You to deal with the negative attitudes that tempt me daily. Help me also to look beyond the immediate to the deeper meaning of each day's task. Above all, help me to keep my eyes on spiritual truths as I meditate upon Your Word and apply its meaning to my life each new day. It is in this faithful practice of placing You at the center of my focus that I can rise above the difficulties that come my way.  May You restore to me, this day, the joy of Your salvation and renew a steadfast spirit within me. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.
===========================================================

04.18.08
Dear Lord,
When we consider how many struggles, hardships and temptations we face in our lifetime the weight of these difficulties could overwhelm us. Lord, comfort those who are grieving, give them peace and let them know that You are near and that you are with them and have not forsaken them. Remind them that it is in Your resurrection that we stand victorious in the end when we face our last enemy on this side. In Jesus' name, I pray....Amen.
============================================================

04.17.08
I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
============================================================

04.16.08
Dear Lord,
Help us to be people who do not merely listen to Your Word or read it hastily. Help us to do what it says so that we will be blessed in all that we do. We receive Your favor and sense inner peace when we are obedient to You. Help us to look intently into Your Holy Word and apply its teaching so that we enjoy freedom from sin, unceasing joy, and the promise of eternity spent with You. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.
=============================================================

04.15.08
Dear Lord,
We are blessed to live by Your mercy and grace, thank You for showing us a way out of the destruction of sin. Lord, forgive us for giving into our fleshly desires and help us to remain faithful to You by setting our thoughts on You especially when temptations arise. Lord, give us the strength and wisdom to overcome any temptation as You always give us a way out of any situation. Lord, walk with us, guide us, and abide in us, help us to follow Your will and to set our attention on that so that we are not giving in so easily to the lusts of our flesh. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.
=============================================================

04.14.08
Dear Lord,
Thank you, Jesus for dying and saving me from my sins. It is not by might, nor by power, but by Your Spirit that we can stand against the temptations of the enemy as we build our foundation of faith, one brick at a time. Lord, walk with us, guide us and abide in us as it is only when you are with us are we able to overcome the temptations that cause us to sin and fall short of Your glory. Teach me to follow Your will and to keep my focus on You at all times so that I am less likely to fall into temptation. In Jesus' name, I pray....Amen.
===========================================================

04.13.08
Dear Lord,
We choose to follow You all the days of our life. We find great assurance as we’re reminded that we will not be engulfed by the surrounding evil, but instead Your light will guide us to eternal blessing. Help us to walk by faith and not by sight holding onto Your promises as we continue to build a solid foundation through Your Holy Word.  It is in the Name of Jesus that we pray.....Amen
===========================================================

04.11.08
Dear Lord,
You reign over all the earth and You also reign in my heart. What an awesome blessing this truth brings to me today. As I consider that it is not by my might, nor by my power, but by the Spirit of the Lord that I am able to endure my struggles . Lord, I know that many of the struggles I face are not just blown away by a simple prayer of faith, but these struggles are often the very essence of how You work through my life to reveal Your faithfulness and Your power in the midst of them. You develop godly character as I am challenged to remain steadfast and faithful to You. Help me to practice patience and to trust You completely. Help me to seek You for guidance and understaning Your will for my life. In Jesus' name, I pray....Amen.

===========================================================
04.10.08
Dear Lord,
As You call us to walk the narrow path that the majority rejects, we thank You for the godly examples who have gone before us and shown us the way. Such giants of the faith as Abraham, Moses, Joseph, David, Paul and countless others throughout the generations have shown us the way to be faithful even in the midst of adversity. They made great sacrifices in their lifetime to gain an eternal inheritance in heaven. Their sacrifice was temporal and short in duration compared to the eternal pleasures they now enjoy. Help us not to resent the struggles that lead us to seek You in a deeper more intimate relationship. Help us to seek You in all things and to follow Your will and not the will of our flesh. In Jesus' name, I pray......Amen.
===========================================================

04.09.08
Dear Lord,
Bless those who mourn with the comfort of your love that they may face each new day with hope and the certainty that nothing can destroy the good that has been given. May their memories become joyful, their days enriched with friendship, and their lives encircled by your love. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.
============================================================

04.08.08
Dear Lord,
For many the circumstances in life are so uncertain. The solutions to our problems can be very perplexing and seem beyond our grasp. There are many things about tomorrow that we don't, but we know Who holds tomorrow, and we do know Who holds our hand. Thank you, God, that You don't expect us to have all the right answers or to fully understand all that concerns us. You simply want us to trust You as we hold on to Your unchanging hand while You go before us making our paths straight. Grant us the grace to trust You and to seek you at all times whether good or bad, for you are always with us, bleesing us through all struggles. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.
===========================================================

04.07.08
Dear Lord,
We are confronted with deception on many fronts every day, so much so, that we can be deceived without even realizing it. Would You help us, Lord, to watch out and be on our guard so that we are not deceived by man’s words, no matter how convincing they are, how charming their personality is, or how cunning their craft. Help us not to fall for Satan’s deceptive tactics that have brought down believers. Lord, give us the strength and courage to endure all things, walk with us and abide in us and enable us to fight the endless tricks that Satan plays on our emotions which cause us to fall into temptation and away from You. We ask this in Jesus' name.....Amen.
===========================================================

04.06.08
Dear Lord,
We rest in what you have done for us in the past. We trust You for what You are doing presently in our lives and for what You are going to do in the future as we place our confidence in You. We have no confidence in the flesh because our weaknesses quickly overtake our good intentions. Our confidence is based solely upon the redemptive work of salvation imparted to us when we received Christ as our personal Savior. It is not by our intellect or will power that we remain steadfast, but it is through the reliance of Your Holy Spirit that we walk in confidence and bring pleasure to You. In Jesus' name.....Amen.
===========================================================

04.05.08 From Psalm 111
Dear Lord,
Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
=========================================================

04.03.08
Dear Lord,
We want to be your faithful follower as You fulfill Your purpose in our lives. You have ordained the trials, the victories, the losses, the gains and all the paths laid out for us even before we were conceived in our mother’s womb. We put our trust in You for the days ahead and what lies before us that You will supply the needed wisdom and staying power for the challenges that are certain to come as they did for Samuel and Saul and for other believers throughout the centuries and for those in our present day. We will not fear or dread the future as we look ahead through eyes of faith. We will abide in You, putting all our trust and faith in You to see us through success in all that we do. In Jesus' name, I pray....Amen.
============================================================

04.02.08
Although I am called to go through many hardships, there isn’t one that I face alone. Through my weakness You give me the strength to endure, in my folly You are the God of infinite wisdom, and in my fear I take hold of the hope You offer to me which is firm and secure. You will not abandon the work of Your hands, but fulfill Your purpose for me as You strengthen, sustain, and instruct me during my battles. In Jesus' name, I pray....Amen.
==========================================================

04.01.08
Dear Lord,
Help me to remain faithful to You and your calling upon my life. Strengthen and grow my faith as I daily search Your Scriptures and apply their truths to my spiritual walk. As I go through the trials and experiences of my earthly journey would You fix my eyes and my ever-wandering heart upon You, Jesus. When I take refuge in Jesus my spiritual foundation is firm, always dependable, and leads me to glorious victory. Be with me, abide in me and lead me to victory. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.

03.31.08
Dear Lord Jesus,
As we earnestly seek and follow You our minds are being renewed daily. Our ambitions, goals, and affections are being transformed into Your likeness. The ways of the world have less grip on us as we transfix our thoughts upon You. It is in dying to the world that we become alive unto Christ and it is through Your mercy that we offer our lives today as living sacrifices. Help us Lord to turn to You whole heartedly and leave behind the lusts of the world that keep us from being the best that we can be. In Jesus' name, I pray....Amen.

==========================================================
03.30.08
Dear Lord,
May we honor You and respect ourselves as we fix our eyes and thought life upon whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and whatever is admirable. Center our attention upon those things which are praiseworthy so that we build others up in the faith as the light of Christ radiates from our spirit to those around us. In Jesus' name......Amen.

===========================================================
03.29.08
Dear Lord,
Help our ears to be alert, our eyes to be open, and our hearts to be perceptive as we follow in Your ways. May we be eager to hear Your teaching and apply it to our lives so that we may be found blameless before You and experience the joy You give to those who follow Your commands. When Your meaning is clear help us to seek no other meaning to satisfy our own desires or to change the clear meaning of Your message. Align our desires with Your own, that we might find genuine peace and wholehearted obedience as You bring spiritual healing to our lives. In Jesus' name, we pray.....Amen.

===========================================================
03.28.08 (Written from Psalm 18)
Dear Lord,
You are my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon You LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. In Jesus' name, I pray....Amen.

===========================================================
03.27.08
Dear Lord,
You know the longings of my heart. When I seek thrills and quick fixes to satisfy these needs I am eventually disappointed. You are the Bread of Life and the Living Water that satisfies the inner desires of my heart because You are the only One who can truly meet my spiritual needs. Lord, as I come today hungry and thirsty I look to You, for You satisfy the thirst and hunger with what I need to yield to You and follow Your will to victory. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.

============================================================
03.25.08
Dear Lord,
I recognize that I have not always lived my life for You. At times I have been controlled by pride and living for myself. Forgive me, Lord. I need You in my life; I want You in my life. Take up residence in my heart and be my king, my Lord, and my Savior. From this day forward help me to understand when I am about to fall from this sin and to come to you. In Jesus' name, I pray...Amen
============================================================

03.24.08
Dear Lord,
In the maze of life's events where we are often a passenger on the rollercoaster of ups and downs, may we never lose sight of You, Jesus. You are the unseen, but ever-present Shepherd who protects, guides and tenderly comforts us in all our trouble. Thank You, Lord, that when change is constantly about us, You remain steadfast, faithful, and dependable. You are the Anchor that keeps us grounded in the unseen, but eternal truths we build our lives upon. Thank You, Lord for showing us that You do not care about how much money or friends we have, You love us for who we are and use us and our abilities to reach out to others. In Jesus' name, I pray....Amen.
============================================================

03.22.08
Dear Lord,
Thank you for blessing me with a new day and thank you for the mant blessings that you give me each day. Forgive me Lord, for the times where I placed leisure before you. Because I choose to follow You I want to obey Your Law rather than the conflicting laws of human origin; I want to hear Your voice rather than the conflicting voice of others; I want to yield to the guidance of Your Holy Spirit rather than the prevailing philosophy of my day. I choose to follow You and I want to do so no matter the cost. Make me strong enough, courageous enough, and prayerful enough that I will stand even when others fall. When it feels as though I am standing alone remind me that You and I are a majority. When I stand up for You I stand in victory no matter the temporal consequences. It would seem that Jesus was defeated in His physical death and the seeming hopeless days that followed.  But His triumph came when He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven where He sits at Your right hand interceding for us. Remind us that obedience is required today that we might experience victory tomorrow. In Jesus' name, I pray....Amen.

===========================================================
03.20.08
Dear Lord,
Help us to contend with those seeming obstacles that hinder us from pursing our visions. May we patiently endure and prayerfully endear to our hearts the important truths You teach us and lead us to victory. In Jesus' name, I pray...Amen.
===========================================================
03.19.08
Dear Lord,
We look to You for hope that renews our faith and restores our strength. In the midst of situations that challenge and weary us, Your power and strength never diminish. You never tire of us coming to You but rather You expect it. The promise of Your strength helps us rise above life’s detours and difficulties. We place our confidence in You, unchanging God, and develop the fruit of patience as we wait on You to fulfill the promises You’ve made in Your Word. In Jesus' name, we pray....Amen.
===========================================================
03.18.08
Dear Lord,
Though I am called to go through many hardships, there isn’t one that I face alone.  For in my weakness You are made strong, in my folly You are the God of infinite wisdom, and in my fear I take hold of the hope You offer to me which is firm and secure.  You will not abandon the work of Your hands but fulfill Your purpose for me as You strengthen, sustain, and instruct me during times of testing. I do not want to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.  Keep me faithful to the end.  In Jesus’ mighty name I pray. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen
===========================================================
03.17.08
Dear Lord,
Thank You for blessing us with a new day and thank You for the many blessings thay You give us each and every day. Thank you for Your word that guides us, speak to us, Lord. Teach us. We love you, Jesus. It's so amazing that you are proud of us, even though we haven't done anything to deserve it. We can't do anything to make you more proud of us except to go out into the world and teach others about You. Help us, Lord be the Your servants and give us peace knowing that in doing so that You will bless us with all of our needs. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.
=======================================================
03.16.08
Dear Lord,
Thank you for your plan for our lives. You are the one, True God, and you are all powerful in every aspect of our lives. We want to turn all over to you, but there are parts of us, that we are reluctant to release. We might not even know what it is that we are holding on to, but we can feel that part of our flesh is ruling us more than it should. Holy Spirit, sweep through us. Help us to see what it is that we are unable to let go of, and then minister to our hearts so that we can trust you and follow Your will in our lives. In Jesus' name......Amen.
=======================================================
03.15.08
Dear Lord,
Thank you for blessing us with a new day here on earth and thank you for the many blessings that you give us each second of the day. Lord, there are times that we have been overconfident in ourselves and lose sight of you. We think that we no longer need You to instruct un in everything that we do. Forgive us, Lord. Help us to understand that without You nothing will remain a success and that we need you in every area of our life. Lord, direct our paths and inspire us to do the work which You have given us to do with singleness of heart as Your servants, and for the common good. We ask these things in Jesus' name.....Amen
========================================================
03.14.08
Dear Lord,
I thank You, through Jesus Christ, Your beloved Son, that You keep me safe from all evil and danger. Save me, I pray, today as well, from every evil and sin, so that all I do and the way that I live will please you. I put myself in your care, body and soul and all that I have. Let the Power of Your Holy Spirit reveal itself to me, so that the evil enemy will not gain power over me. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen

Dear Lord Jesus,
By your patience in suffering you endured earthly pain and gave us the example of obedience to your Father's will: Be near me in my time of weakness and pain; sustain me by your grace, that my strength and courage may not fail; heal me according to your will; and help me always to believe that what happens to me here is of little account if you hold me in eternal life, my Lord and my God. In Jesus' name, I pray....Amen.

Dear Lord,
Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
===========================================================

Dear Lord,
Help me in all things to rely upon your holy will. In every hour of the day reveal your will to me. Bless my dealings with all who surround me. Teach me to treat all that comes to throughout the day with peace of soul and with firm conviction that your will governs all. In all my deeds and words, guide my thoughts and feelings. In unforeseen events, let me not forget that all are sent by you. Teach me to act firmly and wisely, without embittering and embarrassing others. Give me strength to bear the fatigue of the coming day with all that it shall bring. Direct my will and teach me to live the way You intended me to live. In Jesus' name......Amen.

Dear Lord,
You made us in your own image and redeemed us through Jesus your Son: Look with compassion on the whole human family; take away the arrogance and hatred which infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us unite us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish your purposes on earth; that, in your good time, all nations and races may serve you in harmony around your heavenly throne. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.

Dear Lord,
Thank you for blessing me with another day here on earth and thank you for the many blessings that you give us each and every day. Lord Jesus, I thank You that salvation comes from You alone. I thank you that You are enough. We would come up far short if we relied on our good works, our charming personality, our status in life or our worldly accumulation to purchase our salvation. You are the sinless Lamb of God, the only acceptable sacrifice to God, who provides salvation to every man, woman, boy and girl from every region on the face of this earth who call upon Your name. Keep reminding us that we cannot earn our salvation because You give it freely. Bles those who do not know you and thoae who have fallen away from and refuse to know you. Lord, forgive them for they are unaware of the truth, work in their hearts and show them the truth. In Jesus' name, I pray....Amen.

Lord, watch over me, guide me, and be with me in all that I do, let me sense Your presence, Your love, and Your strength. Help me to have complete trust in You knowing that You are with me and protecting me through all my battles. Teach me Lord, to follow Your will and not my own and in doing so I will be blessed. I love You, Lord and ask these things in Jesus' name.....Amen.

Dear Lord,
Thank you for blessing me with a new day here on earth and thank you for the many blessings that you have given me. Lord, I surrender all my financial affairs and concerns over to You. I ask that you remove my worries, anxieties, and fears about money, and replace them with faith. Help me strengthen my faith as I read Your Word and apply it to my life. I know and trust that my debts will be paid and money will flow into my life. I have only to look to nature to see proof of the abundance you provide. I release all negative thoughts and know that You will help me to be prosperous in all that I do. I commit to being grateful for all that I now have in my life and will learn to manage my finances wisely, seeking help where needed. And finally, I ask you to help me understand my purpose in life and to act on that purpose with courage and strength. I love You, Lord and ask these things in Jesus' name......Amen.

Thank you for giving me strength to overcome adversity, to do what's right for the benefit of the greater good, to rise above negativity.

Dear Lord,
Grant us the opportunity to share your truth with someone today. Holy Spirit, prepare the way in the person's heart, and give us the worlds to speak. Give us the courage to set aside our reservations of what the person might think. Their relationship with you is more important. Fill us with your love, and let that be pervasive in our conversation with this person. Help us to just love them unconditionally, and let the concept of the love of Jesus be like coming up for air after an eternity under dark waters. Thank you, Jesus, for our salvation. We ask this in Jesus' name....Amen

Dear Lord,
Thank you for blessing me with this day. Bless me with a peaceful night of sleep to refresh my tired body.
Bless my family and friends, and give them peace knowing that you are watching over and protecting us all. In Jesus' name, I pray......Amen.

Dear Lord Jesus,
I want to know you personally. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life to you and ask you to come in as my Savior and Lord. Take control of my life. Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Make me the kind of person you want me to be. In Jesus' name, I pray......Amen. 

Dear Lord,
whose blessed Son our Savior gave his body to be whipped and his face to be spit upon: Give us grace to accept joyfully the sufferings of the present time, confident of the glory that shall be revealed; through Jesus Christ our Lord. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen

Dear Lord,
Please support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world lies hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in thy mercy grant us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last. In Jesus' name, I pray......Amen.

Dear Lord,
I look to You in every need, and never look in vain; I feel Your strong and tender love, and all is well again. The thought of You is mightier far than sin and pain and sorrow are. Discouraged in the work of life, disheartened by its load, Shamed by its failures or its fears, I sink beside the road. But let me only think of You and then new heart springs up in me. Your calmness bends serene above, my restlessness to still; Around me flows Your quickening life, to nerve my faltering will. Your presence fills my solitude, You providence turns all to good. Enfolded deep in You dear love, held in You law, I stand; Your hand in all things I behold, and all things in Your hand. Lead me by unsought ways, and turn my mourning into praise. In Jesus name, I pray.....Amen.

========================================================
Dear Lord,
I have moments of deep unrest -- moments when I know not what to ask by reason of the very excess of my wants. I have in these hours no words for Thee, no conscious prayers for Thee. My cry seems purely worldly; Yet all the time You accepted my unrest as a prayer. Thou knowest the name of that need which lies beneath my speechless groan. Thou knowest that, because I am made in Thine image, I can find rest only in what gives rest to Thee; therefore Thou hast counted my unrest unto me for righteousness, Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen

Dear Lord,

From sorrow with quiet eyes, Knowing Thy way is wise. God, make me brave for life brings Such blinding things. Help me to keep my sight; Help me to see that out of dark comes light. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.

that her soul may rejoice and her body give birth. In Jesus' name, I pray.....Amen.
