But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too. Mark 11:25 (NLT)
Dearest loving Father in heaven, thank You for Your promise of grace in my life. Thank You for unmerited favor. I receive Your grace and power right now and invite Your love to flow through me today. Thank You for equipping and empowering me for victory in this life. Thank You for equipping me with everything I need to face the day. Thank You for Your eternal glory at work in me.. Thank You for Your eternal blessing on every area of my life. I cast my cares on You, knowing that my trials and troubles are temporary. Instead of letting my thoughts drag me down, I’ll let Your word build me up! I will declare Your truth that sets me free all the days of my life. Father. I know that with You, all things are possible. I trust that You are working all things together for my good.
Loving Father, how amazing is Your grace! Thank You that no matter what comes my way today, You promised that Your grace toward me will be sufficient enough to see me through. Thank You for your grace of love, of forgiveness, of mercy, of peace, of joy, of strength and of provision. I praise You for You are truly gracious toward me. Lord, I want a deeper relationship with You. I want to know You more, love You more, share with You more and hear more of what You want me to know. Help me do this through the power of Your Holy Spirit I pray. Help me to know You better. Help me to know Your will. Help me to know what pleases You so I can pray according to Your will.
Abba Father, we are grateful that you love us as good parents love their children. Help us to learn to trust in you as we exercise our responsibilities. Form in us the confidence to enter eagerly into the responsibilities you have entrusted to us. Help us to serve your people and your work with great passion, but also with a sense of freedom and lightness – even detachment – in the knowledge that you are God and we are not. Help me to focus on what is important to You and not to me. Keep me from being indifferent to the need of others and help me to be willing to carry the burden of others. Help me to learn to share someone else’s heartache in their time of sadness. We ask this in the matchless name of Jesus Christ, Amen
If you delight in My Word, you will be fruitful and prosperous. God promises we are fruitful through Him
Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. – (Psalm 1:1-3)
Listen, my friend! Your helplessness is your best prayer. It calls from your heart to the heart of God with greater effect than all your uttered pleas. He hears it from the very moment that you are seized with helplessness, and He becomes actively engaged at once in hearing and answering the prayer of your helplessness.
