Scripture & Prayer submitted by: Rick Costa

Father, we humbly come before You, asking that you would by the power of the Holy Spirit; bind us together in love. Let us become us unified with one another, as you are with Jesus, we pray.  Lord, remind us that before all else we are children of the Most High God. Our identity and purpose in this life is found only in You.  

Remind us that we are citizens of Heaven and ambassadors of Christ on this earth. Give us Your heart for people that we would have compassion on all those around us that don't yet know you. Let sinners see Your love overflowing out of our hearts; that they would be convicted to want to get to know you.  

We rebuke the plans and schemes of the evil one; that tries to divide Your Body and keep us from coming together to fulfill Your ultimate purpose; that is to bring all men to Christ. Help us to remember that when we are in unity we can accomplish much.  

Holy Spirit, Comforter from Heaven, we ask that You would bring peace to the hearts of all those who are fearful and in anxiety. May we not be like Israel; who constantly worried about what they would eat and drink in the wilderness. Jesus You are the Bread of Heaven and You said that out of our bellies would flow rivers of living water! We trust You with our lives and our future. You're a good, good Father!

Finally, we ask that You would increase our faith; as we know that without faith it is impossible to please You. That mountain moving faith that caused the blind to see and the lame to walk. Jesus, you said that signs and wonders would follow them that believe. Oh that You would raise up children with the radical faith in You that never gives up!

We thank You and praise Your name forever for all these things in Jesus name. 

Amen.

Our Daily Prayer for Monday - Millie McFarland

“But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;

Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.
For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.”

Psalm 5:11-12

Scripture & Prayer Submitted by: Millie McFarland

Holy Father, we come humbly before you to give you honor and praise. We come seeking your Holy face. Believing you have everything under control. Our hope and peace is in you.

Father, we turn aside and hide ourselves in you. Open the eyes of our hearts so we can see you high and lifted up; shining in the light of your glory. Father you are Holy; overshadow us with your presence. Bring us under your covering; that we may find your everlasting joy, comfort and peace.

Father, we rejoice in your endless joy as You cover us with your kindness and love. Father, we trust in you, for You are our righteousness and You are our shield. Lord, we thank you for you protect us from the wiles of the enemy; in you we find safety. 

Heavenly Father, the times we are living in are difficult, but we know you are God. The word says, "no weapon formed against me shall prosper", so we stand on your word. Lord, we believe you are more than able of keeping us safe during these times; we rebuke the devourer and plead the blood over him. We command him to flee in Jesus name.

Father, I pray that you give everyone hope, peace and your unspeakable joy. I pray that they may sing praises and rejoice in you. I ask that you be their buckler and shield. Minister to each at the point of their need. I pray that when they get overwhelmed, that they cry out to you and find peace in your wings. Father, I pray for the repentance of each so they may know you in the fullness of your glory. Father forgive each of us if today we have offended you. 

Heavenly Father, I thank you for each reader and for their families. Lord you know each of them and what they are facing; be with each of them and reassure them you are there. I turn them each to you and I thank you for hearing our prayer. In Jesus name we Pray. Amen

The Father’s Will

“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be they name.

Your kingdom come. Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

Matthew 6: 9,10

“Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed.

“My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I

Will, but as you will.”

Matthew 26: 39

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this, but be transformed

by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what

God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

Romans 12: 2

Scripture and Prayer for Submitted by:  Rev. Robin S. Andrews Watrous

Heavenly Father, we come to You with open hearts seeking Your precious face; looking to You for Your will, wisdom, direction, and guidance in our lives as we begin to return and reconnect with families, friends, neighbors, place of work, communities, and most of all reconnecting with the body of Christ.

Lord may “Your will be done,” may we surrender our own wills to You, as Jesus surrender His will in complete obedience to You, “Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

Lord, it is so easy to go back to our lives as we knew it, get caught in all the busyness with activities, events and work. Instead let our hearts, eyes and ears be open to those who are lost, hurting and who have suffered great lost in these time of trails and storms we are still facing.

May we keep our focus on You and Your will; so we may continue to walk in your perfect will, sharing the message of the Gospel with those You place in our path, being a beacon of light, hope and peace. In Jesus name. Amen

“Yet this I call to mind

and therefore I have hope:

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”

The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;”

Lamentations 3:21-25

PRAYER – (HOPE)

Hope is an unbreakable spiritual lifeline in Jesus Christ.

Father God most holy; we give you honor and glory always, and we magnify your name.

As you have done before, we know you will show your power and your glory in our lives. I pray that your Holy Spirit will reign continuously in us and that your people will remain strong in faith; as we trust you and patiently wait using good wisdom, help us dear Lord, to hold steadfast in you God.

We rely on your word God; in all despair and trials of life; even in this unprecedented time, help us to be a beacon of light to others, I ask Father God, for your comforting reassurance of your love, your favor, your grace and your mercy. When things seems dim and we are tempted to lose hope, Heavenly Father help us to pick up the pieces, wipe our tears and look to the hills from where our help comes, for only you God can make what seems impossible to be possible in these trying times.

Father God in Jesus name we pull down the strongholds of todays issues. I pray that we will triumph with your help God and that we will live in the power of Your Holy Spirit with Love and Joy.

Lord, we place our faith and trust in you for we know that you are our hope as you said in your word, "you will never leave us or forsake us", Heavenly Father, as we walk not by sight but by faith, we take comfort knowing that you will never fail us, in Jesus name AMEN.
