“I have decided to stick to love; hate is too great a burden to bear.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dear Lord, Almighty Creator, we thank You for all the wonderful gifts that we have received from your graciousness and ask You tonight to bless all Your creation; bestow upon each one of us, we pray, Your protection from all harm and danger, especially the danger of evil. As we commit ourselves to Your care, watch over us, keep us, guide us, direct us, sanctify us, bless us and incline our heart to Your ways. Mould us wholly into the image of Jesus, as a potter forms clay. We are the clay in Your mighty hand so we ask that You protect us with Your kindness and Your love. Guide us with Your powerful hand that we may walk in the path of righteousness and view all things in the mirror of eternity, waiting for the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ hastening unto the new heaven and earth. In Jesus name we pray, Amen 🙏✝️ Jeremiah 18: 6 “O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.”

Dear Lord, Heavenly Father, on this beautiful Monday morning hear our prayer. You made us Your children and called us to walk in the light of Christ. Free us from darkness and keep us in the light of Your truth. You have always shown us the way from darkness into the light. For those struggling now to see the light, we ask that You shine it a bit brighter in our world. Thank You for always being a light in the dark places of the world and in the dark places of our lives. May the light of Jesus scatter the darkness of hatred and sin so many will be saved. Our hope is in God, for You are the light of the world and You call us to be lights for others.

We pray this through Jesus Christ, our Savior, Amen 🙏✝️ John 8: 12 “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

We implore You to renew our hearts, minds, and desires to align with Your words and restore our joy in Your salvation. May we find You in the silence of our heart and always be honest with You through our prayers. The Apostle James told us to put our focus on God and not on a world system focused on himself. May our heart grow in love with You as we encounter You through prayer. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit and draw us close into Your Presence. Speak to us and show us Your ways, and help us to know Your voice above all else. Give us the will to face life’s difficulties with faith, knowing and trusting that You are always with us and as we get to know You better, may we truly reflect Your love by giving others in need comfort, encouragement and hope. This through Jesus Christ, our Savior we pray, Amen 🙏✝️ James 4: 8 “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded”

Dear Lord, Forgiving Father, by the power of Your Holy Spirit, please come into our hearts and take control of lives and help us to walk in Your footsteps. Thank You, for opening our eyes to the truth of salvation, that through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, 2000 years ago, he paid the price for our sins. Thank You that by believing in Him we may be forgiven. Restore to the world the joy of Your salvation and bring back many to a faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ. We come to You as sinners with cares and sorrows, to leave every concern entirely to You. Lord, Revive in us a deep spirituality in our hearts and let us live near to the great Shepherd, hear his voice, know his thoughts and follow his calls.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, we pray, Amen 🙏✝️ Hebrews 9: 28 “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”

Dear Lord, Heavenly Father, we come before You tonight with a grateful heart longing for Your presence. Lord, breathe comfort into the lives that need it most and touch the lives of those facing unbearable challenges right now.

Wrap your arms around those whose hearts feel empty with losses but heavy with crosses that seem too difficult to bear. We pray that in Your infinite kindness and grace, you bestow hope and good faith amongst those who need it most in this world.
