Father,
As we face a new year, a year full of new joys and new sorrows, new heartaches and new victories, may we face it with You. May we, Your people, trust You to bring us through the valleys and up the mountains. May we measure the opportunities we enjoy and the temptations we face in the light of Your truth. And may we journey on, celebrating the fact of Your presence. Until our journey's end.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

Year End Prayer
Father, thank you for your blessings to us this past year. Thank you for the grace shown to us and for your faithfulness. Some of us have traveled a hard road this year. We thank you for the things we have learned. As we look back, show us how you were with us through the year. Amen

A HEALING WORD
Gracious Lord, make me Your messenger of hope and healing. Fill my mouth with words of life. Give me "an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary." Open my ears to listen to those who mourn, to those who are in distress, to those who need hope. Gentle Savior, may the Comforter bring comfort through me to the brokenhearted. This is my desire. I love You. Amen.

Worthy of Worship
Matthew 2:11 (NLT)
11 They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
11 They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Father the significance of the gifts of the Magi is not measured
by their wealth but by their humility. As great a value as the gifts were, they
pale in comparison to the reverence and awe in which they were given. The Wise Men
followed the principle of true giving, first: “…. they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts."
Thank you Father for the example of these
wise men who traveled so far in seeking Him alone who is worthy of worship.
Amen

Without ceasing
May we keep our hearts turned to Him in a continual attitude of prayer. May our spirits be ever connected to His as we commune with Him every minute of every day. Truly He is our breath and we need that breath surging within us at all times.
What a mighty and powerful God we serve!
Amen

Peace
Father,
I pray for peace during this season of peace. I pray for those who feel rushed, frustrated or hassled because of the demands the season puts on them. I pray for those who may be dealing with difficult family relations or grief over those who are no longer there. And I pray particularly for Your people, that we might see past the hustle and the bustle and celebrate the birth of your Son.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

The Power of His Presence
Matthew 1:23 (NLT)
“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”
“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”
Thank you Father
for the gifts of Christmas which include hope, joy, peace, love, mercy, grace forgiveness
and so much more. But, especially thank you for the gift of yourself in the
person of you Son. Your presence with us is our greatest treasure
because there is nothing in all creation that can compare to the intimate
relationship and fellowship with have with you.
Therefore
Father we take heart with the words Moses spoke to Israel: “So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before
them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither
fail you nor abandon you.” Deut. 31:6 (NLT)
Father for the priceless gift of your abiding presence and love we will be eternally grateful and say with the Apostle Paul: “.. I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39 (NLT)
Amen

God Became One of Us
Father,
I thank You that though we are sinners and deserve nothing, You sent Your Son to pay the price for our sins. Help us never to lose the wonder of this. Help us never to forget how incredible it is that God would become a man and that He would become a man to save us. Help us to live the whole year in light of that truth.

THE WATCHTOWER OF PRAYER
Isaiah 21:8 " Day after day, my Lord, I stand on the watchtower; every night I stay at my post."
Dear Lord, in my spirit, I will post myself on the watchtower of prayer and listen for Your signals. I want to be alert to Your Word and Your actions. Speak to me and give me clear direction, I pray. I want to stay when You say stay, move when You say move and never, never fall asleep at my post."
Oh Lord, with our country in turmoil and fear, prayer is the key. As Christians we need to be on the watchtower of prayer every day. Lifting up our country, our leaders, our pastor, our teachers. All the parents who influence family. Lord help us to be faithful as the salt and light of the earth.
Help all of us who are called by Your NAME to be bold in our living and faithful to our post. I love You. Amen.

Mercy Christmas
Father, one of the words that reveal the necessity of
Christmas is mercy.
Within the meaning of this wonderful word is the revelation you gave of
yourself to Moses: “The LORD passed in
front of Moses, calling out, “Yahweh! The LORD! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled
with unfailing love and faithfulness. 7 I lavish unfailing love
to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin…..” Exodus 34:6-7 (NLT)
Father the Apostle Paul shared this
glorious truth with his friend Titus: “When
God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, 5 he saved us,
not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy…..”. Titus 3:4-5 (NLT)
Father we rejoice in the reality of
your mercy and join the
Psalmist in saying: “The LORD is
compassionate and merciful,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love…. 10 He does
not punish us for all our sins; he does not deal harshly with us, as we
deserve.” Psalm 103:8 & 10 (NLT)
Father as we investigate the necessity
of Christmas we come to a clear and compelling understanding that without mercy there can be no Christmas and
without Christmas there can be no forgiveness. Thank you Father for the joys of
Christmas experienced in the gift of your mercy.
Yes, thank you Father, that in your
grace you gave us want we don’t deserve and in your mercy
you don’t give us what we do deserve. Indeed we can proclaim Merry Christmas because
it was a Mercy Christmas.
Amen

A Peacemaker Prayer
We ask you Father to help us to be, and to become, peacemakers. We pray first for ourselves, that we would find and experience a deep peace within. That we might experience that aspect of the fruit of your Spirit in such a way that it would spill out to each person our lives touch. May your peace spread through us to our neighbors, our cities, our states and our nations.
In this season of Advent, may the reality of the Prince of Peace be present in a new way. May the Babe of Bethlehem spread his peace throughout the world. And as this year closes and a new one appears, we pray that Spirit led peacemakers would arise in the world. That those who only know war would begin to learn and experience peace.
In the name of the One who brings peace.
Amen

HOPE and JOY
Father God, may we never forget to have HOPE in this world in a time when things seem hopeless. May we never neglect to choose JOY in our daily lives when it seems like we can't find it no matter how hard we search. And may we always remember to keep CHRIST in our celebration of Christmas and be ever mindful of the significance of His birth every day of our lives.
What a wonderful Savior we serve. What a mighty and powerful God He is! He is King of kings and Lord of lords and worthy of all our praise!
Thank you, LORD for being so good. Thank you for loving us and redeeming us and being our HOPE, our JOY and our SALVATION.

KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS."

Christmas Spirit
Father,
I pray for your people, that they would see beyond the busyness of the season to worship You and remember the birth of Your Son. I pray that we may also avoid bickering over details of how the secular world acknowledges Christmas. May we invite others to come to You with a heart of love rather than one of anger. And may we remember Your Son in all the activities we engage in.

CHRISTMAS FAMILY TREE
Matthew 1:1 "The record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ son of David, the son of Abraham."
We find name after name after name. Many people reading this would skip over as boring, but nothing could be less true.
Dear Lord Jesus, what a wonder it is that You entered the human race as You did. You chose to incarnate Yourself through a genealogy of mixed tribes and races, bluebloods and bullies, heroes and harlots, saints and sinners. Thank You for representing each person on earth, for identifying with every one of us. Thank You Lord, for reaching out to me, here and now, right where I am. I love You. Amen.

Prince of Peace
Isaiah 9:6-7 (NLT)
“ 6 For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 His government and its peace will never end……..”
Father the peace Jesus brings is personal because it calms our troubled hearts. It is practical because it is available to all who believe in him. And it is permanent because nothing in time and eternity will ever nor can ever destroy it. As the Apostle Paul wrote to the Christians in Philippi: It is “God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand…..” Philippians 4:7 (NLT)
Thank you Father for this wonderful gift
of peace and I pray, especially in this Christmas season, for the blessing of
this peace on your people as Paul prayed in 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (NLT)
“….may the Lord of peace himself give you his
peace at all times and in every situation……”
In the name of him alone who is our
Savior and Peace, Jesus.

Praying Psalm 91 | under your wings we find refuge
Lord we are thankful that we are living in your shelter and we are protected in the shadow of your power.
We confess that you are our refuge and fortress when we are afraid. Our God in whom we trust.
You are a mighty deliverer capable of snatching our souls from the traps of the enemy and the flesh. You are able to defeat everything that comes against us.
Our trust is in you Lord!
You Lord have covered us and under your wings we find refuge. Your faithfulness is a shield and buckler to those who take refuge in you.
Because of you Lord we will not fear the terrors of the night. Nor the arrows that fly by day. Nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness. Nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
Calamity may come to a thousand; ten thousand may be pursued by evil; but it will not come near us because you are with us.
Our trust is in you Lord!
We have made you our dwelling place Lord. Your presence is precious to us. You are our refuge. Your promise is that no evil shall be allowed to befall us; no plague come near our house.
We rejoice that you have commanded your angels concerning us to guard us in all our ways. On their hands they will bear us up lest we injure our bodies.
We are thankful that you are our protection from all manner of danger. You will shield us from all harm. You will watch over us.
Our trust is in you Lord!
We run to you and hold fast to you in love. We look to you for deliverance and confess the name of Jesus as we pray.
Thank you Lord that you hear us when we pray. Out of your goodness you respond to us and are always there.
We bless your name because you have promised to be with us in trouble, to rescue us, to honor us, to satisfy us and to save us.
Our trust is in you Lord!

Giving Thanks
Though Thanksgiving is past, I would like to pause to give thanks. As I have said before, this has been a hard summer for me. But it is at these times we most need to give thanks.
Father:
I thank You for bringing us through my wife's bout with cancer. I thank You that she is almost through chemo-therapy and it has gone relatively well. I pray that the cancer may not come back. I thank You for bringing us through the more minor problem of my gall bladder removal and pray that the problem may be finished with. I thank You for bringing us through the closing down of the church congregation we were part of and that You have led us to another congregation to be part of. I thank You that we can come to You and pray to you even in the darkest times, and You can bring us through.

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.

Waiting for Christs' Return

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.

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

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.

Help us not to be discouraged if things around us look bleak. Help us to trust You and stay at work doing the things You have led us to. Help us to remember that in the end You will triumph. Let us not grow weary, but no matter how dark the situation looks, help us trust that You are still at work.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

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.

Busy
Well, Father, it has been a busy day and looking forward to a busier, engaging and wonderful weekend of activity. Thank you for the health, energy, time and opportunity to share in the lives of family and friends.
Involvement is certainly an important aspect of joyful and meaningful living. I'll let you know how it goes. Of course, you will already know that, but the consideration is fun.

Wanting
I want to want Thee...
I long to be filled with more longing..
I thirst to be made more thirsty still.
(A.W. Tozer)
Lord, give us a longing to know you deeper. Give us hearts to never be satisfied with our relationship with you. Fill us with an aching hunger for your Word!
Keep us eagerly in the Scriptures and delight us with powerful manifestations of who You are! Thank you, LORD, for loving us and for being faithful and true in all things!
Amen

Evil Defeated
Father,
I thank You that Satan and his minions are defeated foes. I thank You that no matter how scary and how evil this world becomes, we can know that Christ is going to win. Help your people to live in the light of that. And help them to share with others that the darkness in the world now is not the final reality.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

WE GATHER TOGETHER
We Gather Together Hymn
We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
He chastens and hastens His will to make known.
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own.

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine!

Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine!
We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still our Defender will be.
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

Dear Lord ~ As we enter the month of November, the month of Thanksgiving help us to count our blessings, and look for those less fortunate and be loving, caring and generous. We thank you for Your love, protection, salvation, generosity and want to demonstrate each of those to those around us. Make this a month of selflessness and show us opportunities to do what Jesus would do. We love You. Amen.
Amen
