What a wonderful friend and Saviour You are Lord Jesus, for You have carried our grief, paid the price for our sin and have bestowed on us the riches of Your grace, simply because we have trusted the Lord Jesus as Saviour.

Lord, we deserve nothing and yet You have seated us in heavenly places in Christ. We are members of the household of God and citizens of heaven. And thank You, Lord, that You given us the indwelling Holy Spirit as a down-payment for our glorious inheritance in Christ, and that during our sojourn in this world You are our ever present help in time of trouble.

Pour into the hearts of all our brothers and sisters in Christ, Your perfect peace that transcends our limited understanding. Where there are trials, may we find our rest in You. Where there is discouragement, give each one Your hope. Where there is sadness, supply Your joy to each of Your children, the joy that only comes from You, for the joy of the Lord is indeed our strength. And Father, may Your love flood into the hearts of all those that are called by Your holy name.

Where there are temptations, give us Your strength to withstand in the evil day, and when we are heavy laden, may we cast all our cares upon You, knowing that You care for so deeply. Thank You, Father. In Jesus' name we pray,

Amen.

Heavenly Father, we live in a world where the security we once seemed to enjoy has been eroded right away and so many dark clouds of unknowing seem to be looming on the future's unpredictable horizon. All that seemed to be so secure and reliable has turned to sawdust in our hands and evaporated like the morning mist.

But Lord, we praise Your name that we can entrust our future in Your safe-keeping, knowing that Your love surrounds us and that Your grace is sufficient, no matter how black the circumstances of life may appear. Thank You, Lord, that You hold the world in the palm of Your hand, and nothing can snatch us from that secure position in You.

Thank You, that we are accepted in the beloved and loved by the Father and thank You, Lord, that no danger may overtake any of Your children that is not permitted by You, and which will not be used to fulfill a just and glorious purpose.

Keep our hearts from unnecessary fretting or worry and in the power of the Holy Spirit, may we build ourselves up in your most holy faith, by praying in spirit and truth and walking the way of righteousness. May we learn day by day to prevent our eyes from focussing on the trials and tribulations that are coming on the earth, and rather, help us to look to Jesus, knowing that in all things He is the victor, and we are securely positioned in Him through time and into eternity. Thank You, in Jesus' name,

Amen.

Thank You, Lord, for loving me so much that You sent Your only begotten Son to die on my behalf on a cruel cross and take upon Himself my sins. Thank You that He identified with my sinfulness so that I might be identified with His righteousness, by grace through faith in Christ. How grateful I am that while I was still a lost sinner Christ died for me.
 
How thankful I am Lord, that You searched me out and found me and brought me back into Your family, even though I was dead in my sins and at enmity with You. Praise Your holy name, for You are a good God and Your loving-kindness endures forever and I will be eternally grateful that You are my God and I am Your child.
 
Thank You, that You are my helper and healer. Thank You, that You are my refuge and strength and thank You, that You have surrounded me with people who love me dearly, and whom I love too. Lord, I do not deserve any of Your grace and goodness and yet day by day, You pour new and rich mercies into my lap and cover me with Your blessings. Praise God that You are the Rock of my Salvation. In Jesus' name,
 
Amen.

O Lord, when you said to your disciples, “One of you shall betray Me, they each asked, “Lord, is it I?” I pray, O God, for a love so strong that I will never betray Thee.

Amen.

So help me God

Is it possible, O God, possible that you can love such as I?

Yet I know it is true. If I allowed myself to doubt your love, all would be lost.

Thank you, God, thank you for loving me. Help me never to betray such wonderful love.

Loving Lord, You and You alone are the source of my supply and I come to You today. Please Lord, hear my prayer and help me address the money worries that I am currently facing.

Equip me Lord to put bread on the table and feed my children, and I ask that You give me the strength and skill to find work so that we do not lose our home or belongings. Thank You, Lord,

Dear Lord and Heavenly Father, I do thank You for the way that You have supplied for all my needs throughout my life, according to Your promises. Thank You for the generous provision I have received from You on so many occasions, when no help was forthcoming.

I come to You today asking You to undertake for the financial needs I am facing today. I know that there are many people who are in a similar position to me who are facing increasing costs in their lives too, and I pray that You look down in pity on all Your children in need.

It says in the Bible that we do not have because we do not ask, so I am humbly asking Father that You visit the lives of every child of God that is facing a shortage of money or some financial hardship and ask that You would be our great Provider, as You have promised. This I pray in Jesus' precious name,

Amen.

So help me God

Dear Heavenly Father, we are living in troubling times and things are getting more and more difficult for me and my family financially. Lord, at times, when I think about the future, I am filled with fear of what is happening in the world today. Lord, I also know that as Your children, You have not given us the Spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Father, I know this is true in my heart and yet in my experience, I so often allow all the fear of my own financial difficulties to flood my heart.

Help me Lord, to take every fearful thought into captivity and to give it to You, for You have promised to carry all our burdens and to supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory. Help me not to try in my own strength to sort our my failing finances, but to rely on You and to trust in Your never-failing promises.

Lord, I am only one of many of Your children who are facing severe financial hardship, and at times I wonder how You can possibly supply everything we all need in a world that seems to have gone out of control, a world that seems to be grinding everyone down into the ground, but I trust You and lay my needs at Your feet. I pray that in Your Own way and Your Own time You will supply my needs, and that You would give me the strength to simply trust in You and to lay all my financial burdens at Your feet. In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.

Dear God, help me I pray to meet all the bills that I have to pay. My rent and household bills just seem to spiral up and I have nothing more. I feel at times that my purse has holes in it as prices seem to get higher and higher. I ask that You Lord would help and support me as I face this most difficult time in my life.

Lord, You have promised to be with us in all the problems of life and I pray that You will guide me and give me wisdom as I face this fraught financial time. Provide for all our needs, dear God as You have promised, and keep me Lord from worry, but rather help me to rest my trust in You. Thank You, Lord, for listening.

Amen.

If you want to be a blessing, please feel free too

Father, as we come to the end of another very busy day, we praise and thank You for the gift of sleep and the wonderful way that the night-time hours seem to sweep away all our cares, and melt away all our worries, as we rest in You.
 
Thank You, that we may confidently cast all our cares and concerns upon You and lay all of our burdens down at Your feet, knowing that You love us with a perfect love and care for us with Fatherly concern.
 
Keep us safe this night from any perils and dangers, and lighten the darkness of these night with Your perfect peace, You gracious tranquillity and Your serene grace
 
Protect us we pray, through the hours of darkness, knowing that there are many danger and much wickedness that may stalk outside our home, but thank You that You are our shield and protection, our rock of salvation, our hope and strength.
 
Purify our minds, comfort our hearts, soothe our souls and give us all a good nights sleep we pray, for we are Yours, and You  have promised that You would give Your beloved children refreshing sleep and rejuvenating rest in the night-time hours.
 
May the angel of Your presence, who is the Lord Jesus Himself, encamp around us tonight and protect us under the shadow of His wings.
 
And so Father, into Your hands we commend our spirit, and pray that You would wake us up in the morning, refreshed and ready to  do Your will.  This we ask in Jesus' name,
 
Amen.

Heavenly Father, there are so many false teachings and doctrines of demons that are flooding mainline churches today, and I pray that You would give me discernment and protection from all those, (whether knowingly or unknowingly) who are distorting the word of truth and the gospel of grace.

Give me wisdom and understanding as I read Your Word, so that I may be enabled to discern what is biblical truth and what is a distortion of that truth. Father, Your Word tells us that in the last days there will come times of great difficulty, where love will wear thin and people will be become proud and arrogant, abusive and unholy, having an outward appearance of godliness but denying the truth of the gospel. Protect me I pray, and all those I love from being influenced by such evil distortions, and keep us under Your promised protection, by Your grace.

Protect our hearts and minds from all those who distort the truth, and keep us all covered in the love of God, and protected by the blood of Christ, as we wait for His any day return. He alone is able to keep us from stumbling and to present us blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy. In Jesus' name we pray,

Amen

Almighty and everlasting God, I bless you from my heart, that of your infinite goodness you have preserved me this night past, and have, with the impregnable defence of your providence, protected me from the power and malice of the devil.

Do not withdraw, I humbly ask you, your protection from me, but mercifully this day watch over me with the eyes of your mercy. Direct my soul and body according to the rule of your will, and fill my heart with your Holy Spirit, that I may pass this day, and all the rest of my days, to your glory,

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,

Loving Lord, I so desire to follow Your command to love my enemies, to pray for those that persecute me, to do good to those that hate me, to bless those that curse me and to pray for those that mistreat me and I ask that in Your strength and grace I would learn to live my life according to Your will.

I understand that the real enemy that I face is not the flesh and blood of men and women that I so often come up against in life, but the battle I face is against a spiritual enemy and forces of evil that are in the heavenly realms – and that Satan and his evil  forces are my true antagonists, who encompasses me about on every side and seek to shipwreck my faith.

Thank You for the spiritual armour that is mine in Christ and I praise You that in Him I have all that I need to stand fast in the evil day, knowing that the weapons of our warfare are not that that are used by the world, but are divinely powerful spiritual weapons, which are designed to destroy the fortresses of evil and to demolish of strongholds of Satan.

Father I pray that You would rescue those that are under the dominion of Satan and bring them out from the satanic, kingdom of darkness into the glorious kingdom of Your dear Son. I ask that You would make known to them the wonderful riches that are in Christ. I pray that each one may come to saving faith in Christ Jesus, so that they may be at peace with God and have the peace of Christ reigning in their hearts. 

Give me wisdom and discernment to know when to act, what to say, how to pray and when to remain silent. May all I do be according to Your will and I ask that in all things Your Holy Spirit would lead and guide, in Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Dear Lord, I lift up all those that are in leadership position in our government, both locally and nationally. May they be endowed with wisdom, strength and justice to administer their duties in a manner that is right and pleasing in Your sight.

Give them the wisdom to rightly and justly administer the law and to carry out their judgements and decisions in the fear of the Lord.

Keep our leaders from adopting humanistic laws, which are so contrary to Your truth. Guard their consciences from being seared by so much that is flooding the corridors of world power today and give each one wisdom, insight and integrity in the decisions they have to reach, and may we live peaceably in this land as we wait for the any day return of the Lord Jesus Christ to take His church to be with Him into heaven.

Loving Lord, we thank You for the heritage and gift of children and recognize that among today’s young people, we have those who will become future leaders, teachers and pioneers, and who may one day become influential in forging the future direction of our society and take up the responsibilities for leading families, nations and the church into the future.
 
Lord, we pray that they may be endowed with wisdom and grow up in the fear and nurture of the Lord. Direct and govern their steps we pray, and may they find favor with God and man, being grounded in integrity and honesty, wisdom and grace.
 
We pray that they may walk in righteousness and truth, humility and grace and seek to live in peace with all men, without compromise and without prejudice. May they keep the Word of God as their protective shield, and be guarded against the lies, deceit and envy of fallen man.
 
Guard and guide those that will become societies future leaders, teachers and pioneers and may they hold fast to that which is good, live in peace with one another, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone, never repaying evil for evil, but always seeking after that which is good for one another, to Your praise and glory.

Loving Father, at a time when there is increasing unrest and growing fear of what is coming on the earth, we bring before You the leaders of the various nations of the world, and pray that in Your grace and mercy You would intervene and help those that are suffering so greatly in so many nations.
 
We pray that world leaders would seek after wisdom and justice, mercy and truth, freedom, godly grace and a desire to know You more and more. We pray that those that are deliberately opposing Your will and pushing an anti-God agenda, would be removed from their office and that their plans and purposes would be exposed, and become ineffective.
 
We grieve for those that are living in war-torn countries of where there is much blood-shed, corruption and unrest in their governments, and pray that in Your pity and grace You would intervene, by removing corrupt leaders and replacing them with those of integrity.
 
But Lord, we also know that until the Lord Jesus returns as Prince of Pease to set up His millennial kingdom, the current unrest, wars and rumours of wars, corruption and distress will continue. And so we pray that You would be merciful to those that are suffering due to the increasing unrest and fear that is sweeping the nations of the world today. This we ask in Jesus' name,

Lord, I come to You today to pray for the nations of the world and their leaders and governors. Whether a nation is governed by a king or queen, a prince or president, a prime minister or some other form of governance, we pray for each one, that they may fulfil Your plans and Your purposes, in whatever they do, in their lands.

I ask Your blessing on those that are seeking to follow Your ways and I pray for Your pity and mercy on those that are deliberately defying You as the Creator God.

Lord, I know that You are the One that places rulers in their high positions of honour, and You are also the one that removes leaders from their elevated perches. I pray that in Your grace and mercy, You would look down on the nations of the world and intervene with those that are severely oppressing their own people.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord and whether at a national level or in local governance, I pray Your blessing on those men and women that are seeking to follow Your way, as they implement their authority. I also know, Lord, that the opposite is true and that those who defy the living God will come to no good.

Have pity Lord, and convict the leaders of our nations to turn to You. Protect the people that are having to live in nations with a corrupt or evil government. And may the Lord Jesus Himself return very soon to set up His perfect kingdom in this world, when the earth will be filled with a true knowledge of You. In Jesus' name I pray,

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the lives of each of my lovely grandchildren that You have so graciously brought into my life. They all give me such joy and pleasure, for which I praise and thank You.

Lord, You have scheduled every day of their lives, and I pray that as they grow up into adulthood You would continue to lead and guide, to instruct and to correct. Father, I also pray that You would develop in each one a heavenly perspective and a true understanding of the Christian life and spiritual maturity, so that they grow in grace and in a right relationship with You.

Bring the right spouse into the life of each of these dear grandchildren of mine I pray. In Your grace I pray that they be granted the husband or wife of Your choice, so that together they may become a threefold cord with You, which is not easily broken.

Thank You, Lord so much, for every one of my grandchildren. Into Your hands I commit each one. May they sense Your calling on their lives, so that they develop into mighty men and women who love You deeply and trust in You implicitly. In Jesus' name I pray,

Lord, we bring before You all the children in our schools and especially those that are vulnerable, those who are being abused or bullied and those who are finding it difficult to settle in their classes, or perhaps are finding themselves isolated for whatever reason.

Lord, You know each child and You know the needs and vulnerabilities of each one, and You also know the answers to each of their problems. Look down with pity on today’s children who are having to grow up in an increasingly godless society, where every semblance of truth and godliness is being systematically attacked with a relative agenda that denies the absolutes of God.

Protect the hearts and minds of these vulnerable members of our society, and meet each one at their own particular point of need we pray. Bring good friends and compassionate staff into the lives of all children that are finding the requirements of today’s schools difficult to cope with or whose innocent spirit is being crushed.

And more than anything else, we pray that You would reveal Yourself to each and every vulnerable child. Teach them Your ways and bring each one into a personal knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Give each one a true understanding that they may know that they are loved by their Father in heaven and forgiven of any sin. May each one bud, blossom and flower as they come to know and accept You as their Saviour, and give them a deep sense of Your peace and love. In Jesus' name we pray,

So Father, I claim that promise for my children. I ask You to give me the wisdom as I teach them about Jesus and how He died for all the wrong things that we have done, so that we might be forgiven and one day go to be with Him in heaven.

Dear God, it saddens me so much that my dear brother has become dependent on alcohol and he is so young to have been dragged into this destructive life-style. Lord, it is having a very serious effect on his relationship with his whole family, and he seems to have thrown away his life which was so promising, and it saddens me deeply.

Lord, he seems to have been dragged so deeply into this addiction, that I fear that he is unlikely to emerge from it, but my trust is in You and I pray that in Your love and grace You will reach down and convict him of his need of You and draw him back into a right relationship with You.

Loving Lord, I grieve for the loss of my own dear brother, and as I consider the passing of time and all that has happened between us over the years, it makes me increasingly aware of the frailty of our humanity and the speed with which our mortal life is racing past.
 
I do thank You for the special times I had with my brother, but his loss has been a sort of wake-up call to me, and my sadness at losing someone so close to me, who was equally a special life-long friend, is tinged with the realisation that all life is incredibly fragile and fleeting, and the brief span of time that we all have is so transient, and needs to be valued and not taken so much for granted.

Help me also to value the friends and relations that I have, for none of us know the day or the hour of our own death.

Thank You that You really do bring peace when sadness fills my heart. Please help me to fix my thoughts on You I pray. I ask this in Jesus' name,

Amen.
