Heavenly Father, we confess that we are often drawn into temptation. Sometimes these temptations seem innocent enough, just one more piece of chocolate or one tiny white lie to save someone's feelings. Sometimes we're so sure that we can't be tempted by the really big sins that we find ourselves falling into those traps without realising what we've done. Sometimes, Lord, we even succumb to those temptations and our own hearts break with the sorrow of knowing we have let You down.
Help us to meditate more carefully on Your Word and to strive to keep those words ever present in our hearts. Grant that we might resist on the days of temptation and win the battle no matter how insignificant it may seem. You know us, Father, and You know what trips us up. Help us to be willing to truthfully face the things that tempt us so that we can arm ourselves against another failure should that very temptation come our way once more. Help us always to draw closer to You, that we may overcome the desires for things that take us off the path of salvation. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Read James 1:12-14 Lord, we come to You as both students and teachers. We desire to
learn all that we can at Your feet that we may have greater understanding and wisdom to share with others. We welcome Your instruction and Your demonstrations of kindness and creativity in our lives. We recognise that we do not always get each lesson right when we're at Your feet and that often You must show us more than once what You would have us know. Remind us as we share Your word with others that we need to give them the same Grace that You so continually give us. Help us to be teachers that not only tell and explain, but demonstrate the truth You have given us in our lives every day. Help us to be witnesses to Your light in the world and grant that we might inspire the desire in others to come to know more of You. We ask You these things, Lord according to Your mercy and grace. Amen. Read Isaiah 28:9-10 Heavenly Father we know that our thoughts are not aligned with Your thoughts. We know that we are in continual need of guidance and especially so when it comes to the things that we think about. Lord, so often ideas and images show up on the blackboards of our minds without us even knowing how they got there. Help us to examine those things that confuse and discourage us and erase the ones that are not of You. Rewrite Your truth in ways that will keep us strong and faithful.
Grant that we might be of one mind concerning the needs of those around us. Help us esteem others and value them with an understanding heart and an open mind. Help us to respect those who think differently than we do or who act differently than we do. Help us to be willing to serve everyone who walks into our sphere of influence. Let our most generous thoughts be for the highest good of each person we meet. Help us, Lord to think thoughts of love everywhere we go. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Read Philippians 2:1-4 Heavenly Father, we are often fooled into thinking that being "remarkable" has something to do with recognition for a talent or a skill. We think that it might be attached to those who we see on the big screen or those who enter into politics. Help us to see that we are defined by the remarkable things we do for You.
We are Your children and we are remarkable each time we lift up someone in need who walks beside us. We are remarkable each time we share Your love with someone who was just waiting for us to open that door. Remind us, Lord, as we work through our endless chores that the duties that occupy our time at home or at work or anywhere else can become heavenly ones if we do them for You. We might just discover that what we have done is simply remarkable because it is stamped with Your love and approval. Bless each of us as we step out in the wisdom of love and genuine kindness to create a brighter day for someone else. Help us to live for You today. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Read James 3:17 Elohim,
I KNOW You can create something out of nothing, please create something out of any nothing areas - the impossible situations in my life. El Elyon, I KNOW You are in control, sovereign, and I give You my circumstances today. Adonai, I KNOW You are my Lord and Master, I choose to follow You instead of the ways of the world. El Shaddai, I KNOW You are God Almighty, and I trust that You are sufficient for my deepest needs today. Jehovah Jireh, I KNOW You are my provider, and will supply everything I need today. El Roi, I KNOW You are the God who sees me, and that I am never alone, and nothing in my life goes unnoticed, for You know it all and see it all. Yahweh, I KNOW You are the one and only, self-existent, eternal, covenant-keeping God and that You will always love me. Jehovah Rapha, I KNOW You are my healer and I come to You now with every area of my life that needs healing today. Jehovah Nissi, I KNOW You are my banner, and the victory in every situation that threatens me today. Jehovah Mekoddishkem, I KNOW You are my sanctifier, making me holy, doing for me what I can never do for myself. Jehovah Shalom, I KNOW You are my peace, and bring calm in every storm I face in life. Jehovah Sabaoth, I KNOW You are the LORD of Hosts, and bring deliverance as You defeat my enemies. Yahweh Ro'i, I KNOW You are my shepherd, and intimately care for me even if no one else does. Abba, Father, I KNOW You are my Father and that I can run to You and rest in the security of your everlasting arms. Lord Transform us into a mountain moving faith, increase our faith. Teach us how to “walk by faith” (2 Corinthians 5:7). Give us strength to stand strong on your promises and believe Your every word. We don’t want to be like the people who did not profit from hearing the Word because it wasn’t mixed with faith (Hebrews 4:2). I know that “faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God” ( Romans10:17). Make our faith increase every time we hear or read Your Word. Help us to believe for Your promises to be fulfilled in us. We pray that the genuineness of our faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even when it is tested by fire, will be glorifying to You, Lord 1 Peter 1:7).
We know “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). And know we have been “saved through faith,” and it is a gift from You (Ephesians 2:8). Increase our faith so that we can pray in power. Give us faith to believe for healing every time we pray for the sick. We don’t want to see a need and then not have faith strong enough to pray and believe for the situation to change Help us to take the “shield of faith” to “quench all the fiery of the wicked one” (Ephesians 6:16). Help us “to ask in faith, with no doubting.” For we know that “he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.” we know that a doubter is double minded and unstable, and will not receive anything from You (James 1:6-8). we know that “whatever that is not from faith is sin” (Romans 14:23). We confess any doubt we have as sin before You, and we ask You to forgive us. we don’t want to hinder what You want to do in and through us because of doubt. Increase our faith daily so that we can move mountains in Your name. Amen Father God we thank You for who you are, We just want to Glorify Your Name, You are the alpha and the omega the beginning and the end of all things we want to honor you for our lives for the privelage to serve you.
We bring to you our sinful thoughts and deeds please forgive us our trespasses. Give us a thirst and hunger for your presence for Your anointing. Lord open our spiritual ears so that we can hear Your Voice open our spiritual eyes so that we can see your plan for our lives. We submit to Your will,Your Plan and Your Purpose in Jesus Name Amen Help me work on my Attitude. Teach me to be more Loving, Compassionate, Patient, Obedient and Humble. Strip away the anger, the Bitterness, the Stubbornness, the Laziness, Pride and Complacency as I walk with you each day. Help me to become more like you and practice what I preach. In Christ Name. Amen Here, gee my asseblief geloof soos Sara sodat ek seker kan wees van die dinge waarop ek hoop.
Gee my trane van hoop soos Hanna. Ek vra ook vir Ragab se waagmoed, sodat reg sal geskied. Mag Debora se leierskap my help om die regte keuses te maak. ... Ek vra ook klein bietjie van Delila se hart, sodat ek die duiwel sal kan uitvang. Here, help dat ek soos Naomi, nooit sal opgee nie. Mag ek soos Orpa en Rut, die mense wat ek liefhet, nooit in die steek laat nie. Help asseblief dat ek soos Esra sal sorg dat “menslike tempels” herbou sal word. Jesus, ek vra vir Koningin Ester se skoonheid – maar laat dit asseblief van binne-in my uitstraal. Laat die “Vrou van Spreuke 30” my naambordjie dra, en gee my asseblief krag om soos die meisie van Hooglied my man te bemin en eer. Help dat ek sal klou aan die ewige lewe soos Jaïrus se dogter. Gee my ook asseblief die vyf verstandige meisies se wysheid om ekstra olie vir my lampie te vat, sodat ek altyd vir U skyn. En die selfde wysheid om soos die arm vrou, alles wat ek besit, vir U te gee. Laat my leer uit Eva se foute asseblief Liewe Heer, sodat ek die regte lewensbesluite sal maak. Spreek deur my die goeie nuus van U wat lewe, soos deur Maria Magdalena en ander Maria. Here, en dan die vrou van alle vroue… U mamma… Maria… Maak my asseblief bereid, net soos sy, om my hele lewe en alles wat ek oneindig lief het, vir U op te offer, want U is my gunsteling en ek wil ‘n vrou so na U hart wees! Ek bid en vra dit in Jesus naam Amen en AMEN!!!! Heavenly father , help me to keep my eyes looking straight ahead and not back on former days and old ways of doing things. I know you want to do something new in my life today. Help me to concentrate on where I am to go now and not where I have been. Thank You for releasing me from the past so that by your grace I cane move out of it and into the future you have for me. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
