August 18-24, 2013

Almighty God, most Holy Father, we come to You in the name of Your Son our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We ask you to empty us of self and fill us to over-flowing with Your precious Holy Spirit.
Grant us Your favor each day as we continue to serve Your people.
We desperately desire Your light to shine upon us, to give us strength when we are weak and to help us to fulfill the mandate to love one another.
We ask this in the great name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank You Lord Jesus.
Amen.

"Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners."
Psalm 1:1(ESV)

August 11 - 17, 2013

Lord, we thank You that Your righteousness has delivered us from persecution; whether it is financial, physical, emotional, spiritual and we stand confident before Your throne.
The truth of Your Word has set us free from all oppression and anxiety. In moments of trouble, we trust in You and know You will always intercede for us.
Thank You Lord Jesus.
Amen.

"Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?"
Romans 8:34-35(NIV)

August 4 - 10, 2013

Jesus, Lord, I thank You for Your supreme sacrifice on the cross for my sins and for all mankind. There is no greater love than for one to lay down one’s life for a friend. You died for me, a sinner. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son, born of the Virgin Mary. Thank You Jesus for sending the Holy Spirit to guide us safely to You. Lord God we praise and thank You in Jesus Name!
Amen.

Matthew, 7:7-8 (NIV)

July 28 - August 3, 2013

Father God, Creator of the entire universe and everything that dwells in it, gently remind me of Your awesome power and strength so that I may rest in You. Let no fear of rejection enter my consciousness; but rather, Your loving grace come over me as I lean on Your faithful and dependable support. For Your strength is my joy, and I rejoice in it. I ask this in Your Son’s Heavenly name, through the power of Your Holy Spirit.

Amen


“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV)

July 21 - 27, 2013

Lord we praise Your Holy Name and thank You so much for all that You provide now on a daily basis including the air we breathe, how our hearts beat and our eyes see Your earthly glory! Bring us a special measure of protection over our lives until we see Your full glory in heaven. Please bless those who are in need today. Hear their prayers. Bring food to those who hunger and education, water and a place to live for those in desperate need. Bring faith, trust and hope to those in need of spiritual gifts in the precious Name of Jesus Christ.
 
Amen

“Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 
All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”
Luke 21:3-4 (NIV)

July 14 - 20, 2013

O loving and gracious God, I thank You and praise You for all You gifts. Often I fail to see the many opportunities You give to me each day. You are always there keeping watch and guarding my comings and goings. Thank you for keeping my feet from slipping from Your loving embrace and guarding my life each day in Jesus’ Name.

Amen




"He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber."
(Psalm 121:3 NKJ)

July 7 - 13, 2013

Lord Jesus give us grace that we will do the works that You did when you walked this earth. We are your body here and now. By Your grace we will act boldly so that in Your name we will feed not just 5,000 but millions of children, women and men. In Your name we will house those living in squalor. In Your name we will heal the sick through clinics and medical missions. As You raised the son of a widow in Nain, we will reduce infant mortality of the poor. In Your name we will release prisoners in the countries we serve. Holy Spirit grant us a bold faith so that we can do more than we can ask for or imagine in Jesus’ Holy Name we pray.

Amen

"Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it."
John 14:12-14 (NIV)
