Prayer For A Dying Servant

O God the Father, Father of the spirits of all men; O God the Son, who has washed away our sins by his own blood, and who by his resurrection has brought life and immortality to light; O God the Holy Ghost, Regenerator, Sanctifier and Comforter of your saints—have compassion now, we ask you, upon the low estate of your servant lying in the extremity of sickness.

We commend unto you his soul as into the hands of a faithful Creator and most merciful Savior. Wash him in the blood of the Lamb from all guilt. Finish in him your perfect work of sanctification, enduing him plenteously with every grace, rendering him complete in all the fullness of Christ. Though his flesh and his heart fail, be the strength of his heart and his portion forever.

Give your peace to him, and do not let his heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Having gone and prepared a place for him, come now again and receive him unto yourself, that where you are there he may be also.

And graciously comfort us who mourn. Silence the murmurings of our rebellious hearts. Enable us to say with your servant of old, “The Lord gave, and the Lord takes away, blessed is the name of the Lord.” Make us mindful of our own mortality, and teach us so to number our days that we may seriously apply our hearts to that heavenly wisdom which may in the end bring us to life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, your only Son our Lord,

Amen.

Prayer To Let Go Of My Fears And Worries

Lord, I kneel before You in humble submission and pray that in Your mercy and kindness You would help me to simply let go of all the fears and worries, problems and doubts, guilt and disappointments that seem to be filling my heart and mind so often, during the course of a day.

Fill my hurting soul with Your love and peace I pray. Fill the emptiness and pain that is tearing my life asunder. Lord, You know what is in my heart and why I am going through this time of fear and worry. Help me Lord, to take every thought captive, to hand it over to You as it rears up in my mind, and help me to replace it with thoughts and words of Scripture that tell of Your great might and wonderful power.

Lord, You have told us to think about whatever is lovely and pure and holy and good, and I pray that You would help me to turn the eyes of my heart upon Jesus and look to Him day by day. In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.

Prayer For Restoration For The Years I Have Wasted

Father, I repent of the years that I have wantonly wasted. I desire to turn away from my misspent years and return to You with all my heart, and get back into a right relationship to You.

Lord, I know that I do not deserve to have this prayer answered, but I ask for the sake of Jesus Christ, Who died to pay the price for my sins that You would look down on me with pity and mercy and that You would forgive me of my sins and give me back those years I have lost, when I was walking in unbelief and wanton ignorance of Your love and grace towards me.

I know that I do not deserve Your kindness, but You are a good and gracious God, long-suffering and of great kindness. I pray that You would restore those lost years and ask that You would enable me to start to live a life that is honouring to You. I ask this in the name of Jesus,

Amen.

Prayer For Good and Genuine Fellowship

Heavenly Father, thank You that You have placed us into the family of God and have united us together in love and fellowship. Forgive us for the times when as Your children we have allowed the foolish issues of the world to mar our relationship with each other and with You. Unite us together in the bond of peace and knit us together in godly love, with each other and with You.

Guard our hearts and our lips and may we learn to think and speak in a manner that is pleasing to You. May we become one in practice and purpose, to the praise of Your holy name. May the Lord Jesus influence our conversation and may the Holy Spirit of peace knit us together in love as we look to Jesus, knowing that He alone is our Prince of peace.

Help us to be obedient to our calling and give us a desire to faithfully pray for each other and to consider the needs of others as more important than our own. May we who are a part of Your universal church be a force of good in our local community, and may we be faithful witnesses to those that are lost, so that they may see our love for each other and You, and glorify our Father in heaven. In Jesus' name,

Amen.

Prayer Of Protection From Satan

Heavenly Father, thank You that I am Your blood-bought child, and that nothing can snatch me from Your hand, for You are my Saviour and I have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Your dear Son, Who is the light of the world. Thank You, that I have been forgiven of my sins and covered in Christ’s own righteousness, and thank You that I have been baptised into Christ and set free from slavery to sin and Satan, for which I praise and thank Your holy name.

But Lord, I also know that Satan is a roaring lion who prowls around seeking whom he may devour, and Lord, I know that he truly is the evil prince of darkness, who delights to disguise himself as an angel of light and seeks to deceive many people. Lord, I understand also that He seeks to destroy the faith of many and to deceive others into false teachings and doctrines of demons as he sows seeds of disruptive deceit and evil into the hearts and lives of many. But Father, I thank You that greater is He that is in me that he that is in the world. Thank You, that by the blood of Christ He is a defeated enemy. But Lord, I pray that You would protect me and those I love from His fiery darts and evil attacks. Enable me to resist Him and all His deceptive ploys, and may I walk in spirit and truth, covered by the blood of Jesus my Saviour and remain safe in Him, in Whose name I pray,

Amen.

For My Future In This Economically Bleak World

Lord, I had such dreams of the future when I was a little younger, and had made such wonderful plans for my life and my family, but now Lord with the economic crises and all that is going on around our world today, which seems to want to smash down what is left of the Judeo Christian standards, the future looks so very bleak.

But I thank You for the reminder that You have given me from my pastor and what I have learned from my own Bible studies, that this world is not our home, but just a place and that we are simply passing through on our way to our heavenly residence, which You have prepared for us in heaven.

What a wonderful future You have planned for all Your children. As the days get darker and the world seems to become more evil, I am realising that You are using this to cause Your children to break free from the hold that this world has on so many of us.

Lord, thank You for reminding me that I am not to become too comfortable in this world, but to prepare my heart for the time that we will be with You in heaven. Keep my family and me in this increasingly bleak economic world, and provide for all our needs while we are here. I pray that You would bring us home soon to our glorious heavenly home, where we will be for ever with You. in Jesus' name,

Amen.

Prayer For Justice For The Poor And Helpless

Loving Lord, thank You for the wonderful example of Your life, which was lived in spirit and truth. A life that demonstrated love as well as justice, a life that cared for all humanity, especially those who were weak or hurting or marginalised, or those who were sinking into a pit of despair or poverty.

Be close to all who are feeling the bitter winds of depression and scarcity their lives and uphold them with the warming breath of Your love and grace. Keep us we pray, from making wrong judgements about those that are suffering affliction or who have been overtaken by the challenges of poverty. Give us a wider perspective on life and a heart of compassion and kindness, especially on those that feel alone, unloved or uncared for.

May we become Your eyes and ears and may Your heart of love and grace flow through us to those that are in need. Look down in pity on all who are suffering loss, poverty or unjust discrimination at this time, and we pray that in Your best time Your justice will prevail in each of their lives. Thank You, Lord. We ask this in the name of Jesus,

Amen.

Prayer For Justice From False Accusations

Dear Heavenly Father, You are my God and my Protector, and I pray that You would help me and save me and rescue me from those that are seeking to do me harm. Lord, I am being falsely accused and I feel as though those that are seeking to discredit me are hounding me like a pack of hungry wolves.

Oh Lord, I have sought to do only those things that are righteous in Your sight. If I had wronged anyone or harmed anyone without a cause then their relentless pursuit might be justified, but Father I have sought to live my life as unto You and yet they seek to damage me and destroy my character.

Lord, I hand this situation into Your almighty hands and pray that you would vindicate me. Stand up for me Lord, and remove these people that have such unfounded aggression against me far from me. Draw us all closer to You, whom to know is life and health and peace and hope. In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen

Prayer To Get Out Of The Mess I Have Made

O Lord, forgive me, for I have been foolish and unwise in my life in so many ways and have got myself into many problems that I hardly know where to turn. Please give me the courage and wisdom to admit where I have been wrong, not only to others , but to myself and especially to You.

Lord, it is so easy to seek to justify some of the things that I have done, but in my heart I know that I have been careless in my relationships and my home life, and must have grieved Your Holy Spirit many times. Lord, I know that this has had a detrimental effect on me and especially my relationship with You, and I don’t want to go on like this any more. Lord, I confess my faults and ask for Your gracious forgiveness .

Lord, help me to take every thought captive and to admit my faults quickly and turn immediately to You. I believe that You have had to bring me to this sharp halt in my life, and although it is very painful, I pray that You will forgive me and allow me to get back into fellowship with the Father. I want to walk in Your ways and confess that I have been acting in a prideful manner and have not done the things that I ought to have done. Thank You, that You have never given up on me and thank You for Your never-failing grace. Help me to walk in Your ways from this day forward I pray. In Jesus' name,

Amen.

As I Get Older

Heavenly Father, as I advance in years and part of my body begin to fail and age I come to You asking for Your sufficient strength as I struggle with the pain of arthritis, in my body.

Thank You that You kept me in the flush of youth and supported me through those frantic middle years where friends and family, jobs and other issues kept me busily running to and fro.

Now Lord, I have time on my hand and am finding that as my joints seize up I am not able to move as speedily or react as quickly as I used to. Use me, I pray, to lift up those that are also struggling with the pain of arthritic bones and joints that are not a flexible as they once were.

Thank You that You are with me in every season of my life and I pray that as I continue to run the race set before me that You would lead and guide in all I say and do and may it all be done for Your praise and glory, this I ask in Jesus name,

Amen

Success For Our Team

Heavenly Father, You have graciously endowed me with a healthy body and the ability to play team games, for which I thank You with all my heart. Thank You for the opportunities to join in the fun and activities that come from participating in team sports.

Guard me from any worldly attitudes that others in the team may display, and help me to be a good and faithful witness to Your greatness and power in the games that I play.

Give me the ability to play in a fair and considerate manner. Help me to develop the right team spirit and a keenness to do my very best, without nurturing a wrong attitude towards other teams and members who may be better or worse than I.

May You be ever before my eyes so that I do not elevate the sport or my position into an idol, but let me participate in a manner that is always pleasing to You. In Jesus' name,

Amen.

Prayer Declaring The Glory Of God

The heavens declare the glory of God and the earth unites with them in a magnificent chorus of worthy praise, to Your holy name. But there should be no greater proclamation of Your grace and glory, no more worthy declaration of Your wonder and praise, than the worship that falls from the lips of sinners, saved by grace, for You have redeemed us by Your blood and clothed us in You own garments of righteousness. You deserve our ceaseless praise and glory throughout time and into the eternal ages to come.

We praise and thank You for Your great and precious promises. That seedtime and harvest, day and night, summer and winter will never fail, for Your mercy endures forever. You make Your sun to rise on the wicked as well as those that are saved, and You send showers of refreshing rain on the unjust as well as the upright. But Lord, there is no greater testimony of Your loving-kindness and patient-endurance than the opportunity to be redeemed by the blood of Your only begotten Son. A gift of grace that You are extending to the world of fallen man. Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honour and power and might, be unto our God for ever and ever,

Amen.

For Patience When Answers To Prayer Are Delayed

Help me Lord, to be still in Your presence and to wait quietly and patiently before You as did the Psalmist. Many and precious are the promises You have given to Your children, and I desire to rest in them by faith and to abide in You moment by moment, to the praise of Your holy name.

I thank You Lord, that You hear all the prayers of Your children and that before we call, You have promised to answer. I also thank You that You are teaching me specifically that even though the answer may be long in coming, that through it You are developing in me a patient trust in You and establishing an even firmer faith in Your Word, for Your Word is true and You are a faithful and merciful God.

Thank You, Lord, that Your Word is becoming deeply rooted within my heart. I pray that I will not faint when answers are delayed, but rather that I will quietly and patiently rest in Your unfailing promises, as Your Holy Spirit does His work within my heart. Increase my love and dependence upon You so that I may become more like the Lord Jesus in every area of my life, especially in the area of patience as I trust in Your perfect timing. In Jesus' name,

Amen.

The Parable of the Tenants

33 “Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. 34 When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.

35 “The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third. 36 Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way. 37 Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

38 “But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’ 39 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

40 “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”

41 “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.”

42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:

“‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’

43 “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”

45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them. 46 They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.

Praise the Lord
