Daily Prayer – Sing Out Your Praises

April 23, 2017 By Eva Conner Leave a Comment

Sing out Your Praises and Give God all the Glory!

Sing out your thanks to the Lord; sing praises to our God with a harp. He covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures. He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, the Lord’s delight is in those who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love.
Psalm 147:7-10

Dear God,

Thank You for today. We sing our praises to You, our God! Thank You for being our Provider. You meet all of our needs. Nothing is possible in our might but with Your might all things are possible. All glory is Yours for hanging the moon and the stars in the sky.

We delight in You, Lord. We put our hope in You and no one else. Thank You for being everything that we need. Use us to promote Your glory in Your Kingdom. Enable us to share Your Name with those who are lost and in darkness. Set a desire in our hearts for You that nothing else can satisfy.

Let Jesus become our greatest delight and Your Word our greatest treasure. It is in His name that we pray.

Amen♥

Daily Prayer – The Power of the Gospel

April 21, 2017 By Eva Conner Leave a Comment

This is The Gospel – Our Good News to Share with the World.

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”
Romans 10:9-11

Dear God,

Thank You for today. Thank You for the Gospel of Christ. The message that we’ve been given to share with the world. All that is required of us is to believe in our hearts that Jesus is Lord and to confess Him with our mouths. Through the Holy Spirit, we step out in boldness proclaiming our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Position us to be in the right place at the right time and put the right words in our mouth to speak to the world so they will hear the good news message. Open our hearts and remove all the things that we’ve allowed to accumulate that are not of You. Those things that keep us in bondage from stepping out to proclaim Your message. Help us to be of one mind and one body in the Body of Christ.

Thank You for never disgracing us as we serve You. Protect our minds, our hearts, our souls, our spirits and our bodies so that we can be the true disciples You call us to be.

In Jesus Christ’s name we pray.

Amen♥

Daily Prayer – You Have a Place in The Body of Christ

April 21, 2017 By Eva Conner Leave a Comment

You have a unique and important place in the Body of Christ.

But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it.
1 Corinthians 12:18

Dear God,

Thank You for today. Your Body is so unique and beautiful. We each have a place that no one else can fill. We each belong and have gifts that are just ours. You care about each of us so very much to make us as special as You have. Show each of us our place and our gifts. Teach us our special talents.

Use us to build up others in the Body of Christ. Help us to encourage and edify one another. Let us not be jealous of another’s gift but see our own gift as a special hand-picked gift from You. Your ways are so much higher than our ways and we thank You for that. We ask that You empower us to invite others with us into Your Body.

In Jesus name we pray.

Amen♥

Daily Prayer – The Law vs. Grace

April 20, 2017 By Eva Conner Leave a Comment

What the Law could not do, Grace in the form of Jesus Christ did.

The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit.
Romans 8:3-4

Dear God,

Thank You for today. What the law could not do for us, You did. The law could not redeem us. It could not offer eternal salvation because it was powerless to do anything other than point out our sinful nature. But because of Your great love for us, You redeemed us by offering Your one and only Son Jesus Christ. Thank You for that ultimate sacrifice.

Thank You for the amazing gift of eternal life that we do not deserve but which You give so freely. All that is required of us is to believe in the One You sent. Use us to open eyes and ears of those around us who do not believe. Those lost souls who are living in darkness. Use us in mighty ways to touch the lost world. Help each of us to lay down our burdens at Your feet so that we are free and unemcumbered to share Your love with all. You truly desire good and perfect things for each of us. You do not want us to be burdened or heavy laden. Empower us to walk in the freedom that Christ came to give us.

It is in His powerful and holy name that we pray.

Amen♥

Daily Prayer – Wisdom Calls for a Hearing

Wisdom Calls for a Hearing

Dear God,

Thank You for Your Wisdom! Today we choose Wisdom over rubies. We choose love over the world. We choose Jesus Christ. Give us more Jesus and less us. Fill us with your treasuries. Thank You for joy. Today we watch for You at our gates. Thank You for giving us life and favor. In Jesus name we pray.

Amen♥

Proverbs 8

Listen as Wisdom calls out! Hear as understanding raises her voice! on the hilltop along the road, she takes her stand at the crossroads. By the gates at the entrance to the town, on the road leading in, she cries aloud, “I call to you, to all of you! I raise my voice to all people. You simple people, use good judgment. You foolish people, show some understanding. Listen to me! For I have important things to tell you. Everything I say is right, for I speak the truth and detest every kind of deception. My advice is wholesome. There is nothing devious or crooked in it. My words are plain to anyone with understanding, clear to those with knowledge. Choose my instruction rather than silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold. For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies. Nothing you desire can compare with it.

“I, Wisdom, live together with good judgment. I know where to discover knowledge and discernment. All who fear the Lord will hate evil. Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance, corruption and perverse speech. Common sense and success belong to me. Insight and strength are mine. Because of me, kings reign, and rulers make just decrees. Rulers lead with my help, and nobles make righteous judgments.

“I love all who love me. Those who search will surely find me. I have riches and honor, as well as enduring wealth and justice. My gifts are better than gold, even the purest gold, my wages better than sterling silver! I walk in righteousness, in paths of justice. Those who love me inherit wealth. I will fill their treasuries.

“The Lord formed me from the beginning, before he created anything else. I was appointed in ages past, at the very first, before the earth began. I was born before the oceans were created, before the springs bubbled forth their waters. Before the mountains were formed, before the hills, I was born— before he had made the earth and fields and the first handfuls of soil. I was there when he established the heavens, when he drew the horizon on the oceans. I was there when he set the clouds above, when he established springs deep in the earth. I was there when he set the limits of the seas, so they would not spread beyond their boundaries. And when he marked off the earth’s foundations, I was the architect at his side. I was his constant delight, rejoicing always in his presence. And how happy I was with the world he created; how I rejoiced with the human family!

“And so, my children, listen to me, for all who follow my ways are joyful. Listen to my instruction and be wise. Don’t ignore it. Joyful are those who listen to me, watching for me daily at my gates, waiting for me outside my home! For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord. But those who miss me injure themselves. All who hate me love death.”
