My Lord,
THANK YOU for never being too busy or too far away hear my needs.
I lift up these prayers to you Father because I know that you are a God who hears and a God who cares. Father, please help us to be still in the seasons of waiting. Please help us to know that just because You are silent, just because things haven't changed, just because nothing is "done" according to our [flesh], just because we cannot see the results, just because we haven't gotten our way, and just because YOU have said, "NO." Please help us to see that YOU are still a God who cares.
PLEASE increase our faith. Please strengthen us according to your word. Please help us to continue in encouraging one another and please, remind us that you are still on the throne.
Lord, Jesus please continue your healing in Marty, Robin, Jane, Dottie, Dotty, Nancy, Dana, Kim, Pochie, Christy, Tom, Susie's mom, Josh, Missy, Lynnard, Emmie's mom, dad, Sierra, Shayne, Rosslyn, Lynda, and anyone else who needs your touch regarding their health.
Lord, please comfort those who are mourning, and have lost a loved one or a dear friend. Please remind them that they are not alone. Please send someone to hug them today and that they may know that it was You who sent them. Please send someone to listen, to cook, to clean, to laugh, to run errands, and to be alongside them as they are seeking answers, have questions and feel an emptiness in their hearts. Please shower them with a knowing that this life is not the end.
Please Father, put your hedge of protection around our youth; the ones without parental guidance, the ones walking to and from school, the ones who are on drugs/and or drinking, those that are having sex, the ones who've never heard the words, "I love you," the ones who are under tremendous peer pressure, the ones who are being bullied, the teenage moms, the ones who have no voice and the ones who do not know that you are their heavenly Dad.
Please send your angels to those who are broken hearted, comfort the soldiers, love on the seniors, the mentally ill and the disabled. Please heal those with lupus, cancer, MS, dementia, alzheimers, ALS, heart disease, in need of a organ transplant, suffering from a stroke, high blood pressure, HIV and Aids, ebola virus, lime's disease, the flu, diabetes, down syndrome, and many other illnesses that are hoping, waiting, expecting and believing in a miracle.
Please send aid to the homeless, the veterans, the youth facilities, the prisons, the school system, the local churches, the senior homes, the healthcare facilities, the nursing homes, the libraries, the boys and girls clubs, the planned parenthoods, the hospitals, the fire stations and police stations, the government, the small business that are suffering and those who have a need that would in turn help others. Please provide your resources and bring about a change as only you can.
Please strengthen our marriages, our family structure, our relationships and our understanding. Help us to learn how to love, to listen, to wait, to believe, to trust, to share, to seek help, to give help, to comfort one another, to be a blessing and to put you first in our lives. HELP THOSE WHO ARE PARALYZED BY FEAR! Help us in those areas of life where we have not surrendered and where we are placing unrealistic demands and expectations on those who are unable to give us what we "are in need of." Help us to see, know and grasp that only YOU can fill that void. Only you can fill those empty places in our lives and in our hearts.
Please Lord, please help your children to be the light that you've called us to be. Help us to be bold in our faith. Help us to stay consistent with our faith walk. Help us to stand out in the crowd of unbelievers and help us to not conform to the world's way of living. Help us to get back to the house of worship and connect our body to your body of believers. Help us to remember that without that intimacy with you and without a desire to read your word daily that the enemy is going to use that opportunity to taint, tarnish and place blemishes on our testimony. Help us to study, meditate, grasp and be confident in what your word says, help us to discern false teachings and to be wise counsels for those who are new in their faith.
PLEASE give us wisdom. Please give us a Spirit of compassion and an increased measure of patience. Please help us to see that when we were "lost" you where the one who demonstrated forgiveness, patience and understanding. Keep us reminded that you are the judge and you are the one who changes lives. We are not in control and we do not bring others to salvation.
Lord, please delay in your coming in order to give those who do not know you an opportunity to come to you and to repent. Help them to see that they are sinners and that you died for them. Help them to understand that you did rise again on third day and that you are a living God and that you created them before their parents conceived them. Help them to see that you are a loving GOD and that the unconditional love that you give surpasses all human understanding. Help them to see that nothing can fill their lives like the love of JESUS. Father, help them to understand that there are only two places in which we will spend eternity; Heaven or HELL.
ROMANS 10:9-10
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Father, help us with our unbelief, our insecurities, and our [need to know] the answers.
REMIND us that we are all #sinners in need of YOU. Help us understand by your word that no one comes to the Father except through you. Lord JESUS, please release the "STRONGHOLD" that Satan has on anyone who is struggling with ANYTHING IN His/Her life! Break the chains!!!!!!!
JOHN 14:6-7
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know[a] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
THANK YOU FOR WAITING ON ME. For forgiving me and for loving me.
In Jesus' precious name, amen.
