Prayer for the Day - 04/29/11 10:30 AM
Dear God, I may not have excellent speech or be as educated or wise as some people, but this one thing I know, that Jesus Christ gave Himself as a sacrifice for my sin and has risen to sit at Your right hand, so that I may receive Your forgiveness, a new life, and eternal life with You. Though I may be weak and fearful at times, I can be strong through the power of Your Spirit. God, please speak through me and live through me that I might touch the lives and hearts of the people I come in contact … (6 comments)

Prayer for the Day - 04/28/11 08:53 AM
God, sometimes I wonder why in the world I go through the things I do. What lesson is it that I am supposed to learn? I rejoice in the times You have allowed me to have "faith experiences"--times that have tested and strengthened my faith in You. I know that faith experiences are usually not easy, but they end up being a blessing in disguise. Please, hold me up and keep me from stumbling. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others and to You. Work through me so that my faith experiences will be a testimony … (7 comments)

Dear God, I thank you this morning for the Rock of my salvation. I thank you that my life can be built upon a strong foundation.

Please help me to weather life's storms, to keep looking to you, and to be a thankful child...never a pouting brat. I pray that you will strengthen me and keep my feet steady on solid ground. I pray for my family members, Lord, that each one will be committed to you and live a life that … (8 comments)

Dear God, Thank you for new beginnings. When one door closes, another door opens. Change is not always easy, but sometimes necessary and in our best interests. I am so glad that you offer us opportunities to change for the better. I trust you because you know the future and you want what is best for us. Help me, my family, my friends, to make wise decisions, to trust in your guidance, to follow your lead, and to know what is your will versus the tricks of Satan or our own selfish desires. May we always do your will and walk … (8 comments)

Dear God, I know you are able...able to move mountains, to speak creation into existence, to heal the sick, save the lost, to meet every need I have. I commit myself to you. I pray for all the people around the world, plagued by turmoil, wars, illness, lack of basic needs, insecurity and fear, and addictions that enslave. Lord, You alone know best how to meet these needs and solve these dilemmas. I pray especially that you would minister to those in Raleigh, NC and the surrounding area that are affected by this weekends tornadoes.  I pray that You would intervene, … (4 comments)

Dear God, Please help me to be sensitive to other people's needs and feelings.

Help me to always make other people feel special and valued, for they are all your creation and deserve to be valued.

Bible Verse & Prayer for the Day - 04/13/11 07:03 PM
"You have received of us how you ought to walk and to please God, so you would abound more and more. For you know the commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, even your sanctification" (1 Thess. 4:1-3). Dear Father in Heaven, Thank you for giving me your Word as a light unto my path and a lamp unto my feet. Please forgive me when I am "hard-headed" and do not follow your commandments. I want to do your will, which I understand is based on your Word. Sometimes it is difficult to … (5 comments)

Prayer for the Day - 04/12/11 07:36 AM
Lord, thank You for Your wonderful promises! Though in this world, I face troubles, you have told me to take heart because You have overcome the world! (John 16:33 ). I am so relieved and thankful that through You, I am an overcomer. So, Lord, when I am overwhelmed or discouraged or faced by great challenges or tempted, please remind me that I can overcome when I rely on You. Remind me to "take it to the Lord in prayer" and allow You to carry me through. I also pray for wisdom and for that way out when temptation comes my … (11 comments)

Lord, Please make me a blessing. I present myself to you, a living sacrifice, for ministry to the world. I pray that I would see others through your eyes of love and concern and that I would ask myself "What would Jesus do?" Please forgive me of the times I have been selfish or apathetic, for the times I have missed out on the opportunity to minister and be a blessing. I pray for all the people in my family and community who need a blessing right now. I pray for people around the world who need your hand of blessing … (10 comments)

Bible Verse of the Day - 04/10/11 08:57 AM
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 2 Cor 12:9-10 (KJV)

 
You don't really know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  In our weakness, He shows His glory.  I pray for anyone today who is struggling … (6 comments)

Prayer for the Day - 04/07/11 10:12 AM
Lord, "here am I, send me." Isaiah experienced your presence and fell on his face in repentance. He was so in awe that he cried out for you to send Him. Lord, as a child of yours, I beg for Your forgiveness and ask You to send me out into my world of influence to do Your will, to reach others for You, to accomplish that which You would have me do. I pray for your guidance always and your wisdom, and boldness through the Holy Spirit. I pray for my neighbors, that those who know you would grow closer to … (5 comments)

Prayer for the Day - 04/06/11 09:28 AM
Dear God, Your Word and acts of the past demonstrate to me Your desires to reflect Your nature and power through every individual--including me! I know that's because those who reflect Your glory affect the world. I pray that in all situations I face, I will be obedient and dependent upon You and give You all the praise and glory, so that You will demonstrate Your power that all people may know of Your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of Your Kingdom. I'd like to be able to say, with the Apostle Paul, "My message and my preaching were not … (7 comments)

I pray that I will live it to the fullest; work my hardest; love others with a godly love; and allow you to flow through my being and out into my world to draw people to you. Oh God, I know you love me.

Prayer for the Day - 04/01/11 08:48 AM
Good morning, Lord! Today I have been encouraged to pray for the spouses and families of those who are vocational ministers, deacons, and leaders in the church. I pray for healing, where needed; for protection from harm, evil, and discouragement; and for blessing in the important roles they have. So often these "background" ministers have a "thankless" job and live under scrutiny of those who would nit pick. I pray that today, You will send a great thank you to them and cause others to appreciate these important people. May they feel a "pat on the back" for all they do. … (8 comments)
