June 9 - 15, 2013

Father God, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for being my contender and giving me the victory over every enemy of my life, my family’s life and my extended family’s life.
I am confident that You have never lost a battle and every challenge that faces me has already been won by You my contender.
Thank You for saving not only my children but those children who are connected to my life; brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, cousins and friends.

Amen  

But thus says the Lord: 'Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, And the prey of the terrible be delivered; For I will contend with him who contends with you, And I will save your children.'" 
(Isaiah 49:25)

May 5 - 11, 2013

Heavenly Father, I believe in You. Help me when I doubt. Grant me the ability to rely on You rather than myself. Open my eyes and heart, so I may appreciate the peace You have already given me. As one of your children I know my life will not always be an easy path but my faith is in You. I pray You will give me the strength I need to get through each day. May I bring all my cares before You and know that You will take care of me. There would be no hope for the future if it were not for the fact that Jesus came to earth so that we might be changed. This I pray in Jesus’ name
Amen

"You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar"
(Psalms 139:1-2)

Week of Aug. 12 - 18, 2012

Dear Lord, You are amazing to declare such a promise to Your children! Your bond of love is unbreakable, unstoppable, and unconditional. We pray for each other to remember these words when we feel betrayed, lost, forgotten, or broken hearted. We will never be separated from Your love, but only saturated in Your love. Help us to embrace this truth with all of our mind, heart, and spirit. Thank You, Lord, that You care that much to extend Your hand of hope from heaven by way of our Savior, Jesus. We pray this in His holy name. Amen.


“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,
neither present nor the future, nor any powers,
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

(Romans 8:38-39)  NIV

Week of June 20

God, our Father, You govern and protect Your people and shepherd them with a father’s love. You place a father in a family as a sign of Your love, care, and constant protection. May fathers everywhere be faithful to the example shown in the Scriptures: steadfast in love, forgiving transgressions, sustaining the family, caring for those in need. Give Your wisdom to fathers that they may encourage and guide their children. Keep them healthy so they may support their families. Guide every father with the Spirit of your love, that they may grow in holiness and draw their family ever closer to You. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
