A SIMPLE PRAYER

Published on by Duty to Delight MinistriesLeave a comment

sunday

Heavenly Father—breathe on all those whose eyes rest upon this prayer. Fill their hearts with such a great love and longing for you; a longing that only you can satisfy. Like the deer thirsts after water, allow their souls to thirst after YOU, oh Lord! Father, raise up a nation of people that will obey your word and find pleasure in pleasing you. No longer chasing after the lusts of the flesh and false hope of this world, but desiring YOU above all else.   Father, stir up your spirit in your children in such a great a mighty way that they will say “YES” to your will and your way for their lives—exemplifying a lifestyle that is pleasing to you and encouraging to others. It’s in the matchless, priceless name JESUS I pray and give you all the praise! Amen

Words of Encouragement

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”  (Proverbs 3:5-6)

No matter what your current circumstance, difficulty, or situation…TRUST GOD!  You can be thankful even in the midst of “going through” because having an attitude of gratitude is not dependent upon what’s in your hand, but rather what’s in your heart.

Know that there is wonder-working power in the NAME of JESUS! He is an all-terrain God and able to navigate you through any rough situation. Calling on Jesus will dispatch angels to your rescue and unleash showers of blessings on your behalf!  The tender TOUCH of The Master will heal what ails you.  His PRESENCE is more powerful than the pain.  His PEACE can calm life’s rage.  His LOVE will embrace you when others leave you.  His GRACE will sustain and keep you through the impossible.

 HE WON’T FAIL…because He can’t fail!

Saints, there is a difference between “going” to church and “being” The Church. The world can distinguish the difference between the two in you! ~M. Ford

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:22-25)

Saints, Persistence is the order of the day. Don’t despair—if you press in prayer you will begin to see a glimmer of God’s glory. God is faithful…your breakthrough is just on the horizon! ~M. Ford

 “He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:29-31)
