Daily Prayer:

Lord, I pray that people will come to know You as their one true God, and no longer serve other idols in their lives. Surely, people have put their worldly things in place of You, where You should be the first person we go to in life. This is sad, as people now have doing good backwards, where their works are only good to men and not for You. They make up for themselves what they should be doing, instead of seeking Your hand to see if it is right. Therefore, their own instincts, apart from You, have led them astray into paths that don’t lead to You. So Lord, if any of these people proclaim to be Christians, wake them up to their sins. Help them know what is right, that they may repent now before it is too late. Yes, Lord, people are far from You and don’t even realize it. The evils of this world have a stronghold on these people’s lives and until the Holy Spirit enters them, will they never know You. So I pray for Your fire to enter their lives. Stir within them the need to be made clean. In their broken state, may they call upon Your Name and find forgiveness. They need Your mercy now, as I do not wish to see any people that say they are believers go to hell. You are our Savior and have the power to save them and lead them to people in the faith that can help them. Help us all be a light to this lost generation and also to our fellow brothers and sisters in the faith. If any of them are having a hard time with their faith now, may they find courage through prayer, reading the Bible and fellowshipping with others in the faith. All we can do Lord, is to lead them to You. Then, will they discover the greatest joy of all. I love You Lord. Amen.

Daily Prayer:

Oh Lord, I pray that You will put Your Spirit inside of us now, that we may walk in Your holiness and no longer serve sin. I know how sorrowful my sins have made me over the years and they could never outweigh what appears to be good on the outside, with what is evil on the inside. I have surely come to know this over the years, Lord, and no longer wish to be tied down in sin of any kind. The guilt that comes from it is too heavy to bear, and therefore, I ask that You become a shield to me from the enemy. Lead me and any other person that is being tempted and tried right now, into Your light and out of the darkness. We don’t wish to be under the cloud of the evil one any longer, but in Your arms forever. We understand that the world we live in is full of darkness, but we can shine bright before those that are lost, that more light will come in. Never will we be able to banish all the darkness, but how amazing would it be oh Lord, if more people decided to stand up in faith for Your cause. Surely, a royal army would be made, as the Holy Spirit is upon us all. So let us walk in faith and do as You command. If there is any sin in my life or a person’s life that desires to follow You, convict us of these sins that we may become Your holy vessels. Surely, our bodies are Your holy temple, and I wish that my life and others will demonstrate this on a day to day basis. My time to follow You and to worship You is not just at church, but every day. You are my rock and my salvation. I’d rather have Your presence in my life than any of the luxuries of this world, for You are my greatest delight and I love You more than anything. May there be less of me and more of You. I trust in You. Amen.

Daily Prayer:

Oh Lord, I pray that people will come to know You through Your words in the Bible and through prayer. Help them be convicted of any of their sins, that they may walk in Your light. It is one thing to read and hear Your Words, but another thing to obey them. So give us all a greater desire to obey You and be made clean through Your blood, Jesus. Wash us of any iniquity that is still in our lives. We are sorry Lord for keeping these things with us and we give it all to You today. Doing Your will is more important than any lustful desire in our hearts. We don’t wish there to be continual guilt and shame in our lives, but Your hope that builds us up. So we come to You in all our brokenness, that You may heal us. Give us clean hands and a pure heart. Fill us up with the Holy Spirit, that we may walk in Your ways. And lead us Lord always. Help us do what You desire and not our own flesh. We are tired of doing things that You hate and want these things expelled from our lives. So cleanse us now. Give in us a new heart and a willingness to serve You. With all our heart, mind, and strength, do we love and honor You. All the praise and glory to Your mighty Name. Whatever You would have for our lives, we will do it. Give us the boldness to share Your truths of the gospel to others. Plant within our hearts Your Words from the Bible, and whatever else You wish to teach us through the Spirit. We wish to be Your witnesses, for we are not ashamed of what You did for us on the cross. Because You bled and died, Jesus, we have forgiveness of sins. And because You were raised from the dead, we have newness of life. Thank You Lord. You are our Redeemer and our King. Amen.

Daily Prayer:

Lord, I am so grateful to know You through Your Words in the Bible and through my time in prayer with You. For You have heard my cries and helped me along the way. I did not need to recite a special prayer to You, but simply pour out my heart to You for answers. You have come to my rescue so my times and have answered my questions. I have learned that You are our Father and desire to help us more than any other person on earth. You know our needs better than anyone else, and therefore, what You have to teach us is gold and cannot be replaced. People can try to replace You with their interactions with them, but what You have to say is so much more valuable. I don’t have to wonder if I am doing what is right, when Your presence is over me. I don’t have to worry if I am on the right path, for You are leading me in it. You have an answer to all my questions, for none of my concerns are smaller than another. You can see through my situation and help me through it, the best way possible. Truly, the world can try to help us along the way, but there is always hurdles and darkness that will prevail in our lives. You never prescribed this life to be difficult, but joyful. There is much peace, when You are working in our lives. It is especially good when You hear our confessions and forgive us as sinners. No more are we wracked by the guilt and shame in our lives, of which the devil puts upon us, for You have lifted us out of the bondage we are in. We can easily be driven to walk in a lot of directions, because of temptation, but with Your hand leading us, we are able to walk safely past them and into green pastures. Thank You Lord. I love You so much. It is so much better now to not be tied down to a memorized prayer, but to just pour out my heart to You. You do listen to me. I am special and have become Your child. For this reason do I not only love to ask You different things, but to also give You thanks and to praise You. You deserve the highest praise of all, for no one is like You. Amen.

Daily Prayer:

Gracious Lord, I love You. You are my God and I honor You. Thank You for hearing my prayers and having mercy upon my soul. I cried out to You in all my brokenness, and You comforted me. I was lonely and You put Your arms around me and helped me know that things will get better. I may have lost hope because of the sins in my life, but You still took me in. I was not cast aside like others have done to me, but You lifted me up and had compassion for my soul. What a great God you are to see me in my sorrowful state and wipe away my tears. I may have had plans to improve my life, but this became a reality when You started to lead me. I could only do so much for a time, until I fell back into my sins once again. So to have the Holy Spirit lead me and help me overcome my addictions is what I needed. Thank You Lord. If it wasn’t for Your hand in my life, I would still be living in my old flesh and continuing to stumble. I would be walking in uncleanness, lusts, covetousness, among other things. But now, just the thought of being disobedient to You is terrible. I would not be a true believer if I just did the opposite of what You’ve said. Therefore, I come to You daily, in order to be filled up in the Spirit. Put upon me Your characteristics of goodness and love. I wish to bless others as You have blessed me. I wish to forgive the same as You forgive me when I sin. So humble me, that I may be used for Your kingdom. Temptation is strong, but Your will is stronger. Give me ways to escape the enemy, that I might live in Your light. I love You Lord, and for this reason do I obey You. Your words are a lamp unto my feet and I can never learn enough from You. Lead me and guide me Lord. I trust in You. Amen.

Daily Prayer:

Oh Lord, I pray for every member of the Catholic Church. May they wake up to the idolatry in the church and in their lives and leave that that false religion today. Your ways are higher than the traditions of men and their pagan worship, and true worshipers ought to worship You, and You alone. To truly love You and keep Your commandments, we need to identify with each of Your laws and write them upon our hearts. We cannot have only nine of them, but all ten commandments. Even everything You taught us, Jesus, we ought to know Your teachings and do what You have said. Otherwise, we are only following something or someone that will never save us. Without Your mercy, our lives are in danger of hell fire and damnation when we die. For only believing in and worshiping You, Lord, is for salvation. We can never come to You with idols still present in our lives, and think that we are in good standing with You. Therefore, I plead that You remove any idol thing from my life still and from any person’s life that says that You are their Lord. To make You the King of our lives is also a pledge to not bow down to any idol thing, even if it appears to be good on the outside. To worship You is without any forms of idolatry, for that is how You prescribed it from the beginning. Thank You for teaching us how to pray, Jesus, that we may come to know You in prayer and by reading Your words daily. I love You Lord. Amen.

Daily Prayer:

Oh Lord, I pray that the preaching of the cross will become meaningful in people’s lives. May people understand that because of what You did for us, Jesus, that we have forgiveness of sins. Thank You God. In our confessions, Your mercy is extended upon us. What a great gift! You suffered for our sins, so that we don’t have to in death. Wow, Praise God. Our life has purpose because of the pains You put upon Yourself for us. It is because of Your great love, that we can walk a new and not have to be held back because of our past. You have wiped the slate clean for everyone that believes in and follows You. All I can say is thank You Lord. And because of the resurrection, we have this newness of life. This hope leads us to walk differently and talk differently. We are no longer doing our own things, but are led by the Holy Spirit, in the ways that are righteous. It is because of Your presence, Lord, that are faith is alive and well. We aren’t simply believers, but people that love You and honor You though our daily walk. To read the Bible daily, pray often and to do as You command is what we desire most. Your ways have become our ways and we cannot get enough of You. We want more and more of Your joy in our lives and less of the world. We want to have Your love with us always and proclaim it to others also. And because You have saved us from a life of sin and raised up into new life, we know that anyone can be saved. Your mercy and compassion see’s through our wickedness and gives us potential for today and tomorrow. I love You Lord. Your gospel message is true. To learn from and teach about the cross is the power of God. It is my prayer that people will come to know this and leave any false gospel behind. Your salvation is worth leaving any false sense of security in this life behind. Thank You for leading me out of darkness and into Your light. It was worth it. Amen.

Oh Lord, You are too good to us. We don’t deserve Your great love, but You continue to show it to us each day that we pray and read the Bible. As we draw near unto You, Your mercy is for us, and there is no more guilt and shame, but forgiveness. Thank You God for Your compassion. So often do we do our own things and forget You, but You continue to convict us of our sins, that we would repent. This You do to draw us in from the world. You desire so much to save us, it is just our stubbornness that gets in the way of being saved. I am just so grateful that You never give up on me. You can see through the live that we are living right now and can see our potential, like You did mine. For this reason do You continually come to us in dreams, visions, prayer, the Bible, and through people, in order to wake us up to the state of destruction that we are in. You don’t desire anyone to be sent off to hell, but these people are the ones that reject You. Your mercy was for them, but they didn’t need or want it. Oh, how sorrowful this is when people think they are Ok in life, when really they need a Savior to help them. Surely, nobody can be safe in their current state, without The Holy Spirit guiding them. Lord, these people that neglect You for the things of this world are so confused and I pray that they will wake up to their sins and repent. As You don’t wish for them to perish, I also don’t wish any person to have to suffer in the lake of fire, one day. So I pray that more people will experience Your great mercy and join You and me in heaven forever. Surely, the Holy Spirit can lead us to You Lord and I pray that more people will be able to receive it. Then, will the lost be saved and come and be a part of Your Kingdom, oh Lord. I love You God. Amen.
