Everlasting God, in whom we live and move and have our being: You have made us for yourself, so that our hearts are restless until they rest in you.

COME LORD JESUS
Mark 13:26-37
Dear Lord, how I long for the day of Your coming! As I watch and wait, help me to keep short accounts with You, to be sensitive to my sins or failures, to be immediate in confession and wholehearted in repentance, to receive Your cleansing and restoration with a joyful and worshiping heart. Let me not be ashamed, but rather rejoice at our appearing. Come soon Lord Jesus. I love You. Amen.

A Prayer of the Apostle Paul for Us
Ephesians 3:16 (NLT)
I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.
I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.
Father what we need in our lives is the
answer to what Paul prayed for other Christians, that is the unleashed,
unhindered and unlimited strength that comes through the Holy Spirit. To be
infused, empowered and enabled by the indwelling Holy Spirit is the greatest
resource we could ever imagine or experience.
Then Father, verse 17 tells us the
results of the Holy Spirit’s work in us: “17
Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your
roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.” Ephesians
3:17-19 (NLT)
Father it is strength of soul we need,
not just to endure, but to triumph in all of life’s circumstances. That is what
the Holy Spirit does in us. So then Paul’s prayer will be answered for us as it
was for them so long ago.
Amen

Prayer for Refugees
Father,
I pray for the refugees from Syria, those who are true refugees, people looking for a home. That You will take care of them, find them a home and a safe place to live and prosper, and that they may come to know You if they do not. I pray for those among them who intend harm, that their plans may be thwarted, that intended victims will be protected from them, and that they may repent and turn to You. I pray for all those involved in dealing with the situation, that they may have compassion and caution in proper measure, to know how to best handle the problem.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

Waiting for Christs' Return
Titus 2:11-13 (NLT)
For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people. 12 And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, 13 while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.
Father we look forward to the return of
Christ based on his promise in John 14:3 (HCSB) “I will come back….” With the assurance of his promise You also have given us
clear instructions as to how we should live in anticipation of that glorious
event. We are to live with wisdom in our decisions, righteousness in our
actions and devotion in our worship.
Father, such a life will sustain us in
uncertain times and strengthen us with hope as we wait patiently and enthusiastically
for Christs return.
Revelation 22:20 (NLT)
He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!

Trust in Troublesome Times
We live in times which seem to be full of hostility to the Christian faith. Sometimes it is difficult to trust God in the situations we encounter. Sometimes it is easy to react in anger rather than in the love God calls us to have, even for our enemies.
Father,
Help us to trust You even when times are difficult. Help us to love those who oppose us and not just react to them the way they act toward us. Help to properly represent You in these sitautions.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

Father, your image bearers are under attack from those who live from hatred. We pray for the families of those killed in the horrendous attacks of recent days. Please comfort them. Please heal those who were injured. Please give wisdom to government leaders, as they carry out their responsibility to punish evil doers and protect their people.
We also pray for those whose worship of a false god leads them to carry out these atrocities. Reveal yourself to them as the one true God, and turn them to faith in Christ. Open their eyes to the emptiness of their religion and to your truth, beauty, and goodness. Amen

SATAN IN HUMAN SKIN
John 10:10 "The thief (Satan) comes only to steal and kill and destroy."
Dear Lord, with the horrible attacks on Paris by Isis, it only shows us once again that those Isis Terrorists are like Satan in human skin. Their motive, desire and actions are to STEAL, KILL AND DESTROY.
But the rest of that verse Lord, tells us YOU have come to give us LIFE and to the fullest. What a comforting promise.
Lord, we are so saddened at the senseless loss of innocent lives at the hands of these evil men who worship a false God, and think that by killing innocent people they are pleasing him.
We fall on our knees and pray that some measure of peace and comfort can come to the families of those who died, and those that are wounded and in hospitals.
We love you and long for your return to set up Your Kingdom, but until then give us courage in the face of danger, and boldness to share your Gospel with anyone who will listen. YOU are the only answer. I love You. Amen

“I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people (Paris). Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf…..”
Father I pray for the people of Paris,
especially for those who have loved ones, family and friends that have either
been killed or wounded by evil and wicked men. I pray for those who are now
suffering and will for weeks, months and perhaps years to come.
Father may these hurting people experience
your grace and peace that surpasses all understanding. May Your mercy sustain
them as they struggle with questions that have no answer this side of heaven.
May You, the God of all comfort, bring healing and hope to all in the despair
and pain of broken hearts.
2 Thessalonians 3:16 (NLT)
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all.
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all.

LIFE LONG LOVE
Dear Lord, two of your precious saints have joined you in heaven. Alice first two months ago, and now last week Ray. They had a life long love of 68 years of marriage and a life long love for You and your Word. They are together again this morning in your presence.
Lord, I think of my life long love with You. I saw my need of a Savior when I was 10 and now at almost 75, I realize we have had a Life Long Love. How I treasure it. There have been battles to fight, and victories to win, and you have held me with your Almighty Strong Arm all these years.
How precious is the entrance of saints into your presence. I long for that day too and until then want to live my life daily to bring Glory to You. I love You. Amen.
