A Prayer For The Family, 2020

A prayer for your entire family.  Source: www.rockthis.org  [https://rockthis.org/faith/prayers-you-should-be-praying-in-2018-part-1-knowing-christ] Song: So Will I, Hillsong UNITED [https://open.spotify.com/track/1ed3wNCecRIp6SugyR0w2J?si=LUfrmXmfQiubKsPzqDE-cw] Scriptures: Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away (Acts 3:19). When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these (Galatians 5:19-21). If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you (Matthew 6:14). Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you (Colossians 3:13). Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone (Colossians 4:6). It is not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth (Matthew 15:11).  But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them, for the light makes everything visible (Ephesians 5:13). God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad (Ecclesiastes 12:14). Submit to God, and you will have peace; then things will go well for you (Job 22:21). Submit therefore to God; resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). And He was saying, “Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will” (Mark 14:36). We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer (Proverbs 16:1). So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them (Deuteronomy 31:6). For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline (2 Timothy 1:7). And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone (Mark 16:15). Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). Then the Lord asked Moses, “Who makes a person’s mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say” (Exodus 4:11-12). So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields (Luke 10:2). An open rebuke is better than hidden Love! Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy (Proverbs 27:5-6). Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble (Proverbs 13:20).

Prayer: Ever-Increasing Faith

A prayer for ever-increasing faith. Story: Mark 9:17-29 [https://my.bible.com/bible/114/MRK.9.17-29] Song: While I'm Waiting, Travis Greene [https://open.spotify.com/track/0xUE0pPfaap7pLtRJg0yTh?si=QjIh0zBkRaqQnO46QGFP7g] Scriptures: 'Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy, and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. ' - Philippians 4:1,11-13  [https://my.bible.com/bible/114/PHP.4.1,11-13] 'For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; -'Ephesians 2:8 [https://my.bible.com/bible/1588/EPH.2.8] ' “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.' - Matthew 6:34 [https://my.bible.com/bible/1588/MAT.6.34] 'For we live by believing and not by seeing. ' -2 Corinthians 5:7 [https://my.bible.com/bible/116/2CO.5.7] 'The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith [our ability to confidently trust in God and in His power].” Pay attention and always be on guard [looking out for one another]! If your brother sins and disregards God’s precepts, solemnly warn him; and if he repents and changes, forgive him. Even if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times and says, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him [that is, give up resentment and consider the offense recalled and annulled].” ' Luke 17:3-5 [https://my.bible.com/bible/1588/LUK.17.3-5] 'And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom [using clever rhetoric], but [they were delivered] in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit [operating through me] and of [His] power [stirring the minds of the listeners and persuading them], so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom and rhetoric of men, but on the power of God. I came to you in [a state of] weakness and fear and great trembling. ' -1 Corinthians 2:3-5 [https://my.bible.com/bible/1588/1CO.2.3-5]
