Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for saving so many people from sin. Please help us to continue to learn about You and the desires You have for us. Please help us to pray those things for others. Please help us to walk worthy and be pleasing to You. Bearing fruit and growing in knowledgee of You is the fulfilment we need.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for making salvation so simple that a young child can understand. I pray for those in my life who have not learned to place their trust in You. Please send the Holy Spirit to work in their hearts and give me the words to say to them. Thank You for Your loving instructions.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You “that Christ died for all”. I am convinced we don’t fully know what that means. Please help us to live for Jesus Christ and not ourselves. We are learning how wonderful living for the Christ really is.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for being an example and showing us the love of Christ. Please help us to learn what it means to live as “beloved children”. We want love to feel good but sometimes love comes with challenges. Please help us to be willing to sacrifice for Your sake.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the reminder that our lives need to be lived with eternity in mind. Please help us to see when we have allowed the “treasure” of this life take over. Please guide us to store up treasure that doesn’t decay. Thank You for directing our hearts toward the eternal treasure of heaven.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the urgent reminder that we need to present ourselves to You. Thank You for reminding us that we need to please You. We are prone to please ourselves. Please help us to sacrifice our own wishes and cling to Yours. Please help us to fight the lure of the world and allow You to transform us into the image of Christ. We need Your help.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us Your words. Thank You for telling the Israelites to fix Your words in their mind and beings. Thank You for the physical imagery of keeping them close. Thank You for reminding us in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 that, “All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work.”
We know that Your word is important, but it can be too easy to put it aside for easier, short-term pleasures. Please help us to prioritize the importance of the Bible and “fix Your words into our minds and beings.” There is nothing more important.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your perfect example of faithfulness. Please help us to remember that You value faithfulness in the small things as well as the big. We need Your help in all things. Please help us to see our dishonesty and make corrections. Faithfulness honors You and we want to glorify Your name.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, there is so much going on in the world around us. We need to stand firm in the faith You have given to us. We need maturity and strength to keep going. Please help us to be motivated by love. We need Your guidance to know how Your love should drive our behavior. We know Your Word is a powerful tool, please help us to read and study it to drive our maturing love.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
