Our Daily Prayer for Sunday - Cheryl Botelho

"Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!

Serving the Lord is a privilege and not a duty. Because He loved us and saved us we should be happy and willing to serve the Lord. "

Psalm 100:2 ESV

Theme Christian servanthood

Scripture and prayer submitted by Cheryl Botelho.

Prayer:

Lord it is an honor to serve you in everything. It is a joy to be used by you. My heart sings when I am in your Presence. Please take my heart and make it love like yours to those who feel unloved. Take my hands and use them to extend comfort and compassion to the hurting. Take my voice and use it to speak life and hope to those in despair. May my life be a JOYFUL reflection of You and may I always bring you honor and glory in all that I do. And Lord if I ever feel like serving you has become a task, please remind me that I am not serving man but the Lord Jesus who died for me. That reminder alone should cause me to rejoice and spur me on to serve you more. I do not serve you to gain anything but I serve you to show how much I love you.

"¡Servid al Señor con alegría! ¡Entrad en su presencia con cánticos!

Servir al Señor es un privilegio y no un deber. Porque Él nos amó y nos salvó, debemos estar felices y dispuestos a servir al Señor".

Salmo 100:2 NVI

Tema: El servicio cristiano

Escritura y oración enviadas por Cheryl Botelho.

Oración:

Señor, es un honor servirte en todo. Es un gozo ser utilizada por ti. Mi corazón canta cuando estoy en tu presencia. Por favor, toma mi corazón y haz que ame como el tuyo a quienes se sienten no amados. Toma mis manos y úsalas para brindar consuelo y compasión a los que sufren. Toma mi voz y úsala para hablar vida y esperanza a quienes están desesperados. Que mi vida sea un reflejo GOZOSO de Ti y que siempre te honre y te dé gloria en todo lo que haga. Y Señor, si alguna vez siento que servirte se ha convertido en una tarea, por favor recuérdame que no estoy sirviendo al hombre sino al Señor Jesús que murió por mí. Ese simple recordatorio debería hacerme alegrarme y animarme a servirte más. No te sirvo para ganar nada, sino para demostrarte cuánto te amo.

Our Daily Prayer for Sunday - Ruth Doran

“And Jesus called them to him and said to them, "You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be the slave of all.

For ever the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his live as a ransom for many."

Mark 10: 42-45 ESV

Scripture and prayer submitted by Ruth Doran

Theme Christian Servanthood

Dear Lord,

You are exactly that ----- Lord.

You're the potter and we are the clay.

Father, we ask that You help us have hearts that obey You.

We are so inadequate.

We are so riddled and saturated with our sin.

Lord, we are sorry and we need You.

We ask that we would decrease and You would increase.

We lay aside our schedules, wants, plans and agendas.

We ask that You would place in our hands what You want there,

and we ask that You would remove what You don't want.

Lord, help us to trust You. You are all good.

You have our very best in mind, and You love us more than anyone else ever could.

We need You, Lord. Thank You for hearing us. We love You.

Please help us to love and serve You better.

We are Yours to do with us as You please.

In Jesus' name,

Amen

Y llamándolos, les dijo: Sabéis que los que son tenidos por gobernantes de las naciones se enseñorean de ellas, y sus grandes ejercen sobre ellas potestad.

Pero entre vosotros no será así, sino que el que quiera ser grande entre vosotros será vuestro servidor, y el que quiera ser el primero entre vosotros será esclavo de todos.

Porque el Hijo del Hombre no vino para ser servido, sino para servir y para dar su vida en rescate por muchos.”

Marcos 10: 42-45 NVI

Escritura y oración presentada por Ruth Doran

Tema: Servicio cristiano

Querido Señor,

Tú eres exactamente eso: Señor.

Tú eres el alfarero y nosotros somos el barro.

Padre, te pedimos que nos ayudes a tener corazones que te obedezcan.

Somos tan inadecuados.

Estamos tan plagados y saturados de nuestro pecado.

Señor, lo sentimos y te necesitamos.

Te pedimos que nosotros disminuyamos y que Tú crezcas.

Dejamos de lado nuestros horarios, deseos, planes y agendas.

Te pedimos que pongas en nuestras manos lo que Tú quieres que haya,

y te pedimos que quites lo que no quieres.

Señor, ayúdanos a confiar en Ti. Tú eres todo bondad.

Tienes en mente lo mejor para nosotros y nos amas más de lo que nadie podría hacerlo jamás.

Te necesitamos, Señor. Gracias por escucharnos. Te amamos.

Por favor, ayúdanos a amarte y servirte mejor.

Somos Tuyos para que hagas con nosotros lo que Tú quieras.

En el nombre de Jesús,

Amén

Our Daily Prayer for Sunday - Bernardo & Jackie Cruz

“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”

Ephesians 4:2 (NIV)

Scripture & Prayer submitted by: Husband & Wife

Bernardo & Jackie Cruz

Heavenly Father, we humbly come to you with a grateful heart. Everything we have is because of you, O Lord. Thank you, for allowing us to see a new day and to share it with people we love. We thank you for blessing us with wonderful people in our life and for seeing us through every obstacle life brings.

Your Love for us is so great; its beyond understanding. "Greater love has no man than this, that a man would lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) God commended his Love towards us in that; while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Help us to pick up our Cross daily and follow hard after you LORD.

Help us to be patient and kind to one another and Love without conditions, as you have shown for us. I pray that I can be the person you called me to be for my wife and my children and that our joy may be complete in you. Help me to Love sacrificially and be the Leader of my home so that my family can see you in me. Teach me to be content, forgiving, and patient; making every effort to keep the unity of the spirit, through the bond of Peace alive through my life. I know that I will fall at times and make mistakes, but I believe that I can be forgiven and strengthened by your grace and mercy; your Love is never ending.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!

Amen

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

Romans 8:28

Scripture & Prayer for Wednesday Submitted by: Millie McFarland

God you are our loving Father in Heaven; we are your children. We thank you for your guidance and your protection. We lift your Holy name on high.

Father, there are so many people feeling lost, unfocused and overwhelmed. We pray that you give each a sense of love and peace that no man can take away. Give them an unspeakable joy to hug their soul. Father, we come against the devices of the enemy that may attack their minds. Cover them with your healing blood.

Father, we don't always understand why we go through things, but we know you have a plan and a purpose for everything. Father, the word says all things work together for good; so that tells me the good and the bad come together in your favor. So, I thank you for my trails as they build character. I thank you for my life experiences as it has helped me gain more knowledge in the power of prayer, love, faith, service, gratitude and endurance. I thank you for healing me because now I have a testimony to help someone else that needs healing. Thank you Father for teaching us to trust and depend on you.

Father, thank you for loving us and calling us out of darkness. You have brought us to your marvelous light. At every moment of our existence you are present with your love and compassion. Help us be present for our brothers and sisters; in love and compassion. Lord, teach us to pray for one another and to draw strength through your word.

Father, we thank you for the good and the bad. We thank for working it all out in your favor for our lives. We honor you and we lay this prayer at your throne room. In Jesus Mighty name we Pray. Amen
