Today’s Prayer (02/20/2021)

by
Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray that You will keep our hands pure before You. Help us think clearly and not lust upon others. What I’ve realized is that the flesh is weak, especially when it comes to sexual sin, or what people would call sexual immorality. The flesh desires such things, especially when temptations come our way, but we often don’t realize what we have done until the deed is done. It is at this point that we can continue to hide our sins before people and hope it doesn’t come to the light, or finally come to grips with it and repent before You, God. The latter is what I desire most people would do, but I am afraid more people than not are justifying their sinful actions, while continuing to hide things from people they love. What they do not realize is that it is a lie from the pit of hell that anything can be hidden from Your sight. Even can people who are filled with the Holy Spirit see when people have fallen into sin also. You give us new eyes and ears to discern if a person is sincere or not in the faith. There are able to do so many things for those that put their faith and trust in You. Surely, You are mighty to save the least of us. Therefore, do I look to You, Lord, every hour. I love You more than anything else. Amen.

Genesis 39:7-12

by

Genesis 39:7-12 (KJV)
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8 But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

Today’s Prayer (02/19/2021)

by
Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray that people will understand how much You so desire for us to enter Your kingdom when we die. As You promised, there are mansions for those people who trust in You in this life. And I can’t believe how short this life really is. It seems like yesterday that I was so young and was being brought up by two wonderful parents in my dad and my mom, but now as I am older, they are both gone and passed away. It is so sad, God, to see people I love, pass on to the grave, especially my mother, who recently died yesterday. It was a sad day for sure and many tears were shed, but one thing I know is that people who truly loved You in this life, have nothing to fear in the next. Do I know that my mother is saved and is with You now in paradise? I do not, but pray that You saw her heart for You, Jesus. You saw all those times she prayed and earnestly sought You in this life. During my visits to see her, I shared the gospel with her, and she did respond favorably to it. I am so happy she even went to some Bible studies with me during those years in the assisted living facility. Thank You, Lord, for opening her heart to give that a chance and to trust in You even more than ever before. Even in those last moments that I was with her, I read from Your Word, the Bible, about the abundant peace that awaits every believer in heaven. How there are mansions up there and no more sorrow, death, or pain. I pray that she was comforted in those last moments by these words. Certainly, there is salvation from Your hands alone and not any religion on earth. Therefore, I come to You daily as Your son who believes in and loves You with all his heart. Amen.

When We Die

by

One day, death will come to the best of us, no matter what we try to do to stop it. Our spirits will return to God who formed us.

1 Corinthians 15:20-22

by

1 Corinthians 15:20-22 (KJV)
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Today’s Prayer (02/17/2021)

by
Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray that we will all be ready when You return. Many people who read this prayer today may not be with us tomorrow, next month, next year, or even years to come. But what matters is what they have done in this life. Though our bodies are asleep in the dust in the earth, as You have spoken, our spirits will return to them in that day. We will either have been in paradise or been suffering in hell. And it is my prayer that people in the faith will be true to their belief in You, Jesus, and find themselves in paradise before Your return. For we know that the day You return, our spirits will return to our bodies and then either be rewarded by You, Jesus, or have to go before You in judgment. Surely, it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. And I do not wish to be one of those who are in the myriads of lines awaiting their fate. Instead, I wish to be Your elect and go before You worthy. It is my prayer that I will hear You say, “well done, thy good and faithful servant. Come into my presence, my dear beloved child”. This is waking up unto everlasting life, where there will be no more pain, sorrow, or death. On the other hand, my soul cries out for people to turn to You before it is too late. I do not wish people to rise from the graves unto everlasting torment, shame, and regret. This is when people who are unworthy will be tossed into the lake of fire. But I know that You, Jesus, is a just God, and will deal with people justly. I believe in You, Lord. Lead me to more people, who will be receptive to Your message of hope. I love You. Amen.

When We Rise From The Grave

Those who brought people unto Jesus throughout their lifetime will be greatly rewarded. They will be like unto the stars of heaven.

Today’s Prayer (02/16/2021)

by
Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray that people of all around the world will learn to love You through their actions and not just their belief system. That their faith will speak loudly of how much they truly love You. Even a life saved that shines our light brightly, that Jesus is our Lord. What people need is a relationship with You, but I am afraid that other things have begun to fill this void. The world we live in is so seductive on the outside but so deadly on the inside. I see millions of people on the path of destruction and them not even being aware of it. So wake them up, Jesus. Help me and others in the faith find these lost souls also, that we may help lead them to know You. I know that the seeds we plant can take root in these right people’s lives if they would just turn to You in faith. Faith can move mountains. I believe in You. I love You, God. I give You praise and glory. Even forever and forever. Amen.

Galatians 2:20,21 (KJV)
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Real Faith In Jesus

Today’s Prayer (02/15/2021)

by
Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray that people will be able to see You in us. Yes, God, may our dedication to do Your will be more than what we do at church, but outside those walls also. I wish for each person to see Jesus in me, but I know that this can only happen if the Holy Spirit is abounding with me. So Lord, keep me in right standing with You at all times. Help me to not fall victim to temptation, and fight the fight with me in these battles. I am stronger with You. And as for my sins, I am sorry for going against Your will. Forgive me God. Help me to stay focused on what is most important in life and not on things that are only time wasters and do nothing good for the soul. Surely, TV is one of those things that destroys our relationship with You. It can be videos, TV shows, or movies we watch, or even video games. And if we do not get control over it, it will take control over us. I know this to be true God, and I pray that You will destroy every ambition within me to watch or play anything that goes against Your will. Destroy that part of me that wants to do things that have nothing to do with working for Your kingdom or being a good husband and parent for my children. I only desire to lead my family in the ways of the Lord and I know that this can only happen if I continue to rest in Your presence. And so I rest now and abide with You, Jesus. I love You, God. I give You praise and honor. Amen.

Dedication To Serve God

Dedicate your life to serve God. Allow the Lord to work through you and tell people about Jesus. This is unto salvation.

Today’s Prayer (02/14/2021)

by
Daily Prayer:
Dear Lord, You know my heart for You and it is sincere. I love You with all my heart. But there is one person who I wish to be saved before she takes her last breath. Yes, God, it is my mother, who raised me up to believe in You also. May she continue to trust in You, even before her last breath on this earth. I have tried to encourage her to look to You in all things in faith and to endure the suffering. To remain strong with You by her side. I pray that she has listened, and as she has encouraged me over the years to also not lose faith, may she not also. Not in religion, but You, Jesus, unto salvation. I want there to be a wonderful reunion come death. May she be raised up in death and into life eternal. Where she will not only be with You forever in all eternity but also be with others she knew and knew of in the family who also remained steadfast in You. I pray that she will hear those words, “well done, my beloved child”. Her faith in You alone will definitely save her, not what other people have told her saves. Lord, it breaks my heart to know that my dear mother is soon to pass on, but comfort me, my family, and my friends, who also love her as much as I do. Give us strength to carry on and to know that she will be in a better place when her last day here does come. As she sang and played instruments so beautifully in this life, may that continue in heaven. I love You, Jesus. You are my God and I will trust in You, even until the very end of this life and the next. Keep my faith lit in the Holy Spirit. I will go and do as You say, my Father and dear friend. In Jesus’s Name. Amen.

Today’s Prayer (02/13/2021)

by
Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray that You will help each one of us to not pass judgments upon others wrongfully. Help us love people to a point of leading them to You. Then, can You take them in the state they are in and cast out all the darkness. We cannot do this, but trust in You to lead Your elect on the path of righteousness. This cannot happen if people are saying bad things about people or if we are condemning people to hell. I have learned the hard way that this is so wrong and even hurts my walk with You also. So thank You for taking away the judgment from my heart towards others, including people of other religions. What I have realized is that salvation can only come from You, Jesus. And not every person is walking on Your path perfectly, but if they love You with their whole heart, salvation is near to them if not already given. I just trust that people will keep listening to You throughout their lives. Only then can they finally escape any false teachings they are under and also be removed from any bad habits and addictions in their lives. Loving You and others does great things in a person’s life. It changes us on the outside and in. The same way You took a wretch like me and tore out of my wicked heart every false and sinful way, You can do the same for anyone. I was resistant in the beginning, but I am grateful that I did follow through with Your plans and let You do a work in me that I was unable to do on my own. I love You, Jesus. You can move mountains in people’s if they would just listen to You and do as You say. You can also help us not judge others, but lead people to You. This I believe. Amen.
