Lord, I thank you for this opportune time that you have provided me a mission in which I must complete due to Your will. Lord if it wasn't for Your unfailing love i dont know where id be or where id go when i seek true refuge. God i acknowledge You for being the strength in the midst of the storm, i acknowledge You as a greater weight in the fiber of my bones. For in your word you asked a prophet "Son of man, can these bones live?" and he responded "O Sovereign Lord, you alone know." God you alone know my todays and tomorrows. You alone know my years to come. and it is only by your grace and mercy that i see these days. Lord forgive me for my trespasses and mine iniquities and infirmities. Transform and renew the right spirit in me. with this task you've placed in my hands God you alone know what is to come and to pass. God with your will and might may i do all that you've asked of me. Its in Jesus name where things spring forth greater hope. Amen.
the 17th chapter of John, Jesus prays for Three things which tie into out daily walk. but ive noticed 2 significant things that a lot of us tend to do, we pray for ourselves more so than anyone else or we tend to pray for everyone else more so than ourselves. But if you notice Jesus prays for three things...Himself, those that will carry on His work and finally those that will accept the benefits of His work as their own...this is a simple but the most effective plan.
so the lesson is:
pray 4 urself.
"Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you....i have brought glory on earth by completing the work that you gave me to do"-John 17:1-4
pray for the people to carry on His work(church, pastor, etc.)
"Now they know that everything you have given comes from you... Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name--the name you gave me--so that they may be one as we are one" John 17: 7 & 11b.
pray for those that will come to accept( the calling, new believers, etc)
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,...I in them you in me. May the be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you loved me." John 17: 20 & 23
Lord i pray for myself your word made it clear through your example through Christ. Let the fruits of my life testify along with you. i pray for the people who you've chosen before time began to do your work. let us do your work to our full potential. and lastly i pray for those that come to accept your message. i pray that their hearts may not be hardened nor troubled when the find refuge in you...some trust in men others trust in chariots but we will trust in the Lord our God....Lord i pray for caleb n all whom you opened my mind to Let your words be my words...its in Jesus name where i let Him have his way. Amen.
