Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. Colossians 4:2 (NLT)
Dearest loving Father in Heaven, today I choose the voice of faith and victory. I declare that I am rising up higher in You, that I can do all things because You give me strength. I bless You and honor You in everything I say and do. Thank You for blessing me. Thank You for Your favor and goodness on my life. Help me to see new ways to be a blessing to others as I daily keep my heart and mind focused on You. Thank You for loving me and transforming me into Your image. Search my heart and mind today. Help me to love others the way You love. Help me to see with my eyes of faith the good land that You have prepared. Help me to walk in Your ways, to stay close to You, and honor You in all that I do.
Abba Father, You deserve all my respect. You are the almighty, all powerful, all wise God and I stand in awe of You. I also hope in You because of the great unfailing love You have for me. Thank you Father for Your love. Might my hope in Your never failing love bring You all the delight that You deserve. Father, I sit before You in deep wonder and worship. Who am I that You would allow me to know You and yet You do. Your love for me is immeasurable. I sit in worship and adoration. I sit in humility and praise Your Holy name. You are my God and I sit humbly before You. Help me and my family to appreciate the freedoms that we have. Thank You for the continued freedom You give us today to read Your Word and to pray openly as a family
Father, I thank You for Your everlasting love for me. Thank You that I do not have to earn it. I am so glad that I don’t have to be jealous that someone else could take Your love from me. I don’t have to be angry that someone or something could stand in the way of Your love for me. Help me today to really get my thoughts around Your unconditional love for me and live as if I really believed it. Be the anchor in my life, O Lord, so that I might not be tossed around by all the winds of change in my world. Make my faith constant; remaining true to You. Lord Jesus Christ, we are thankful that you, for the sake of the joy set before you endured the cross, disregarding its shame. We are grateful for the suffering and sacrifice you embraced that made possible our restored relationship with you, with one another and with the world you have created. It is unimaginable to us that you would humble yourself and become obedient to the point of death – even death on a cross. Help us to adopt your vision. Help us to live with the radical humility you embodied. For your glory and for the sake of those whom you’ve entrusted into our care. Amen.
I have made you a member of My own household. God Promises We Are Part of His Family
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. – (Ephesians 2:19)
To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.
