A Closer Walk With Jesus

And what if He is willing to make known the wealth of His glory on the objects of mercy that He has prepared beforehand for glory. Romans 9:23 NET

God, we praise Your name! The name above all names! How magnificent is Your mercy that makes us a new creation in Christ and a member of His body. Yes Lord, humbled, we thank You that Jesus came to earth to die on the cruel tree so that Your people could be raised up into newness of life and abide with Him forever, in heavenly places. Help us Holy Spirit, to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and focused on His victory. Help us to take every thought that enters our minds captive, so that they are not tainted by the ways of the world. Help us not to allow our attention to be diverted away from the things that are eternally important to the temporal things of the world, which are quickly fading away. Oh God, help us, we need Your hand in our lives, to focus on You as we wake in the morning, as we rest at night, and throughout the moments of every passing day.  We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray joy, we pray deliverance, we pray reconciliation, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen! 

Each time He said, My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.  So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT

Lord, we desire to grow in grace and mature in the faith. Help us not to lose heart or to grow weary with well-doing. but to set our eyes on the horizon, our hearts on things above, and prepare us to be ready and willing to give an answer for the glorious hope that is in us. We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray joy, we pray deliverance, we pray reconciliation, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen! 

Dedicate your children to God and point them in the way that they should go, and the values they’ve learned from you will be with them for life.  Proverbs 22:6 TPT

God, we lift up our children and grandchildren to You, and thank You for each life that is so special in Your sight. Yes Lord, we pray that each one will come to know Christ as Saviour early in their lives, and desire a close walk with You through their teens and twenties and on into adulthood.  May they learn to love Your Word and to come to know the value of prayer in their lives, so that they grow up into men and women that live godly in Christ Jesus.  We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray joy, we pray deliverance, we pray reconciliation, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen! 

During the meal, Jesus took and blessed the bread, broke it, and gave it to His disciples: Take, eat. This is My body. Taking the cup and thanking God, He gave it to them: Drink this, all of you. This is My blood, God’s new covenant poured out for many people for the forgiveness of sins. I’ll not be drinking wine from this cup again until that new day when I’ll drink with you in the kingdom of My Father.  Matthew 26:26-29 MSG

O for a closer walk with You Lord Jesus, so that we may draw ever closer into Your arms of grace day by day. Thank You that we get to commune with You Lord, as we come before You in prayer, with song and the reading of Your Word. We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray joy, we pray deliverance, we pray reconciliation, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
