REST IN JESUS

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”

-Matt. 11:28-

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.  We ask that you will increase in us, as we decrease in ourselves.  If we completely surrender our lives to you, we will find and have rest in you.  The busyness of our lives, at times makes us tired and weary, but you told us to come to you, all of us that labour and are heavy laden, and you will give us rest.  Here we are Lord, coming to you, as humble lowly servants, seeking to have rest in you.  God you give rest unto your people, according to what you have promised.  You told us to rest in you, and wait patiently.  We know in you, we can find rest for our souls.  You give us rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.  We desire to get away from the busyness of our lives to find rest in you.   We need a refreshing in our spirits, and when we rest in you we will have that refreshing in our spirits.  We will rest in you!

Trusting in God

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Proverbs 3:5

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.  Lord, we open our hearts to trust you, not relying on our own understanding, but knowing you have control over all.  We trust in your ability, your character, and totally rely on your strength.  We do not depend on our native instincts, but we depend on your instincts.  You are our rock, and in you we trust.  We know that if we trust you, we can rejoice, knowing that you will save us from the enemies who persecute us.  We are helped if we trust you, and our hearts greatly rejoice because you are our strength and shield. If we put our trust in you, we shall be safe.  We, the righteous, shall be glad, because we trust in you. We are blessed when we trust you, and we are not desolate.  We must trust in you at all times, for we are your people, and our hearts are before you, because you are our refuge.  We know that you are good, you are a strong hold in the day of trouble, and you know us if we trust in you.  As we draw near thee, O God, we put our trust in you that we may declare your works.  Our confidence is in you, and not in man.  We will trust in you forever. We trust in thee, O Lord, because you are OUR God.  Let the words of our mouth, and the meditation of our heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, our strength, and our redeemer.

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.

Discerning of the Spirits

“And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.”

-Ezekiel 44:23-

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.  We pray that we become discerned spiritually.  We pray that we will have in us the gift of the discerning of the spirits.  We are living in the end times, and we desperately need to recognize, distinguish, and perceive right and wrong. We pray that we shall be taught the difference between the holy and profane, and it will cause us to discern between the clean and unclean. We pray that we will be able to put a difference between holy and unholy, and between clean and unclean.  We ask that you will grant to us a wise man’s heart, because he discerns both time and judgment. For in the end times, many (hypocrites) can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but cannot discern this time.  Help us, O Lord, to know the end times. We know you are coming back soon.  We do not desire to turn away from sound doctrine.  For many have turned away from sound doctrine, and after their own lust (pleasures), and have looked for leaders who will teach them what they desire to hear (itching ears).  But, God we pray that you will allow us to be aware and alert of the false doctrines. Make us aware of the FALSE teachers (pastors, teachers, evangelists, ect..) who are among us, who privily will bring to us damnable heresies. We ask you again, O Lord,  give us the wisdom and the knowledge to discern between the righteous and wicked and between him who serves you Jesus, and him who does not.  Lord we pray this prayer, in Jesus name.

Love you,

God our STRENGTH

“I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.”

-Psalm 18:1-

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.  We love you, because you are OUR strength. You are our strength and redeemer. You are the strength of our salvation.  You are our strength and shield.  You are the strength of our life, and we do not have to be afraid.  We know that you are our refuge and strength, and a very PRESENT help in the time of trouble.  In you, we know that our strength is girded, and you make our way perfect.  We know that our strength is girded, in battles, for that, we say thank you. You give power to the faint, and to us who have no might, you increase our strength.  You are the saving strength for your anointed, your people.  You give us strength, and you bless us with peace. When our soul is melted with heaviness, you strengthen us according to your word.  When we are discouraged, you give us strength, if we wait on you Jesus. You told us to wait on you, and you will be the one to strengthen our heart, if we wait on you. We know that if we wait on you, our strength shall be renewed, we shall mount up with wings as eagles, we shall run and not be weary, we shall walk and not faint.  We will excel in your strength if we keep your commandments, and hearken unto the voice of your word.  In you, LORD JEHOVAH, is everlasting strength.  Let the words of our mouth, and the meditation of our heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, our STRENGTH, and our Redeemer.

Prayer for the Nation Forsaking God

“Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.”

-Isaiah 1:4-

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.  We pledge allegiance to you Lord (the only GOD, Jesus Christ), of the United States of America.  We ask that you will look upon our nation, on behalf of the righteous.  We pray for this wicked, sinful, and perverse nation who has forsaken the true and living God.  You have called this nation sinful, the people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil doers, corrupters; who have forsaken you.  This nation has provoked you to anger, and has gone backwards.  We see the evidence of your anger through weather calamities.  We see the evidence of your anger through violence in the schools.  Lord, have mercy on us. We pray for the covering of your blood and protection for our youth in this nation because it (the nation) has forsaken you by taking prayer out of the schools. We pray for the morals and values of the nation, because it has accepted sin, as being right, but we know that all sin is unrighteous. We pray for the nation, because it has forsaken you, by worshiping idol gods, and you want no other gods before you.  We know that the wicked will be turned into hell, and all the nations, who have forgotten you (Psalm 9:17).  There are righteous people (other than us), who live in this nation, please Lord spare those who have not forsaken you.  We know that blessed is the nation, whose God is you, and the people you have chosen for your own inheritance (Psalm 33:12).  Lord, if the nation will repent of its wicked ways, we know you will hear them.  We ask that you will be with the leaders (political) of this nation, and the choices and decisions that are made as they lead the nation.  Oh, Sovereign God, Look on our nation.

God Is the Light

“And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.”

-Genesis 1:3-4-

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.  God we know that you are our light, because light is good.  We thank you for being our light.  You are our light, and our salvation.  In you is the fountain of life, and in your light, we shall see light.  You send your light, and your truth.  You delivered our souls from darkness to walk in your light.  We are blessed because we know your joyful sound, and we walk in the light of your countenance.  Your light is sown for the righteous, and the light of the righteous rejoice.  You are the Lord, and you have showed us your light.  Your light is sweet.  We WILL NOT call light darkness, and darkness light, for that is evil.  For if we do evil, we hate the light (John 3:20), and we have not come to the light.  But, if we do the truth, we have come to the light (John 3:21).  You are the light of the world, and because we believe in you, we will not abide in darkness.  Thank you for being our light of the world, where you’re always shining bright!
