Blessings for Your People

Exiting 2015 and Entering 2016

Numbers 6:24-26

Our Father, which art in Heaven:

We ask that you will forgive us for our sins.  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.  As we exit 2015, we will have new beginnings in 2016. For we know that you are able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.

May you bless us, and keep (guard, protect, save) us. 

May your face shine (light) upon us, and be gracious (bestow; move to favor by petition; grant) unto us.  May you lift (bring forth) up your countenance (favor) upon us, and give us peace (safety; happiness; prosperity).

In Jesus Christ name we pray,

Your servants

Obeying Jesus

“For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.”

-Romans 5:19-

Our Father, who art in Heaven:

We ask that you will forgive us for our sins.  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.  Lord, we have disobeyed you many times, and have gotten into trouble. We have willfully disobeyed, just as a child disobeys their parents.  We have failed to obey your rules and commands.  We often have obeyed the world’s rules and commands, and ignored your word and voice.  We know that when we fail to obey your voice, your rules, and commands, it causes us to have a rebellious and foolish spirit. And having a rebellious and foolish spirit is not of you.  As we disobey you, you discipline and correct us when we have failed to follow your guidance.  Being disobedient to you is not in your will. Today, we want to obey you, and submit to your will and authority.  By us obeying your word and your voice, we will not go astray.  By obeying and serving you, we shall spend our days in prosperity, and years in pleasure (Job 36:11).  As we obey you, we are your people, and we are blessed.  To obey is better than to sacrifice.  We want to be obedient to your will.  We want to be obedient to the Bible.  We are not perfect, at times we will disobey, but we will strive to be obedient to you.

The Lord's Prayer

 “After this manner therefore pray ye…”

-Matt. 6:9-

We ask that you will forgive us for our sins.  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.

Our Father which art in heaven: You are the true and living God. Hallowed be thy name: We reverence your name. It is holy and sacred.  Thy kingdom come: Your reign is great through and in this world. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven: It is your will God, and not our will.  Give us this day our daily bread: You provide for our needs daily, and we don’t have to worry.

 And forgive us our debts: We have moral and spiritual debts to your righteousness.  You, God, forgive us for our sins.  As we forgive our debtors: We seek forgiveness in the same manner, as we forgive others.   And lead us not into temptation:  Continue to help us daily in our daily battle with the temptation of sin.  But deliver us from evil: If we resist the devil, he will flee.  For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever: It’s all about you Jesus.

Amen.
