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!

Now Faith

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

-Hebrews 11:1-

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. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.  By faith we offer ourselves unto you God   By faith and salvation we will have eternal life with you. Without faith it is impossible to please you: for he that cometh to you must believe that you are, and that you are a rewarder of them that diligently seek you.   By faith we are warned of things not seen as yet, and not moved with fear.   By faith we will trust you when you call us to go out into a place not knowing, but we are willing and obedient.  By faith we will receive strength from you.  By faith, we will be made whole.  By faith, our sins can be forgiven. By faith in you, you will open up our blind eyes to see spiritually.  By faith we will trust you through every challenge and circumstance.  We will have faith in you.

Prayer from the Heart

"Pay attention to my prayer, for it comes from honest lips."

Psalm 17:1

(NLT)

Dear Lord:

We ask that you will forgive us for all of our sins, and create in us a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within us.  We thank you for hearing our prayers daily.  When we call on your name, you are there.  You hear the prayers of your children (the righteous).  Lord, we humble ourselves in your sight, knowing that you are the one to lift us up.  We ask that you will lift the heavy burdens, that weigh us down.  We cast all of our burdens to you, because you care for us.  We will not fear the devil, because you have not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.  We thank you for setting us free, because whom the son set free is free indeed.  We thank you for providing all of our needs, because you supply our needs according to your will.  You heal the broken heart, and you make us whole. You heal us from our afflictions (sicknesses and diseases)  You restore our joy, because your joy is our strength and our salvation.  You are perfect in all your ways, and you are a Holy God.  You know everything about us, because you knew us before we were formed in our mother's womb.  You allow us to prosper in our works, finances, health, and ministries.  We honestly give you thanks for all that you have already done, all that you are going to do, and will continue to do.  We love you Jesus.  We put no other gods before you, because you are the only true and living God.  Continue to use us for your glory, that you may always be glorified in our hearts, in our words, in our actions, and our works.

Trust Jesus

“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.

Purpose, Plan, and Will

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:”

-Ecclesiastes 3:1-

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.  To every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heaven, and we believe that. Lord we often struggle in our lives to know our purpose.  We often struggle in our lives to know and to follow your will. We are often confused to when we don’t know the plans you have for us.  Sometimes we think our plans that we have established for ourselves without consulting with you is the purpose and will of God for our lives.  If we don’t consult with you for our plans for our lives we may not be in your will.  Help us today to know our purpose, so that we will/can follow your will, and so that our plans will be aligned with you.  Please show us why we exist, and what you have created us to do in your presence.  Help us today to understand that anything that keeps us away from you is not your will and we are not walking in our God given purpose when we’re out of your will.  By us being in your will, you are getting the glory.  Lord we desire to follow your will and succeed in our plans in you.  We cannot succeed with our plans without you.  As we draw closer in a relationship with you, we will know our purpose, and follow your will, and our plans will succeed in you Lord.

*Knowing the Purpose, being in the will, and following the plans of God*
