SANCTIFY CHRIST AS LORD
Dear Lord, I want to sanctify you with my daily life. I know this is not easy in our upside down world, but help me
Separate myself from the world and its pleasures
Avoid not only the occasion of sin, but even the appearance of evil.
Nurture my spiritual life through the daily disciplines of the Word and prayer.
Cultivate a vital and vibrant relationship with the Lord within my family and church.
Test the spirits to avoid the pitfalls of error.
Identify with those who love and walk with the Lord
Fortify my heart and home against attacks from within or without.
Yearn for a deeper and more authentic walk with the Lord.
Lord this is my prayer. I love You. Amen
This was a series of sermons our Pastor gave, and at the end gave us a bookmark with the above to help us remember how to live a sanctified life that would please Him.
Amen

What Are Friends For?
2 Corinthians 7:6-7 (NLT)
6 “……God, who encourages those who are discouraged, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus. 7 His presence was a joy……”
6 “……God, who encourages those who are discouraged, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus. 7 His presence was a joy……”
Father, the Apostle Paul reminds us how
important our friends are and the far reaching influence that have in our
lives. Paul needed encouragement, hope and joy in his difficult ministry to the
Corinthian Church and You provided that for him through the loving presence of
his dear friend, colleague and son in the faith, Titus.
Father as Titus was a personal gift
from You to Paul through his friendship, so are our friends to us. As Job said:
"A despairing man should have the
devotion of his friends…..” Job 6:14 (NIV) The Apostle Paul certainly had
that in Titus.
In the name of our greatest
Friend, Jesus. Amen.

Prayer for Our Country
My country celebrate itself today, being Malaysia Day. And I would like to pray for my country, and for your country. I found a very good prayer here and it's long, but a good one: A Prayer for Our Country and Our Leadership.
Our Father in heaven, we thank you that we are citizens of heaven as much as we are citizens of our countries. While we are here on earth, we are grateful that you are Emmanuel, you are with us. We pray that your holy governance of the world will produce good and wise leaders, who will hold on to justice above their own desires. We pray that they will be pure in their intentions, and godly in their convictions. We pray that the people will find you, to find hope and finally peace on earth and goodwill toward all men.
Amen

A prayer for holiness
We have a responsibility to bring our spiritual lives into line with the holiness of God so we can be invaded by the presence of God in the person of the Holy Spirit. Holiness is not something we can cultivate on our own but only through the working of the Spirit in us.
It is something we should yearn for each day and strive to attain. A.W. Tozer puts it succinctly in this prayer:
"Oh, that we might yearn for the knowledge and presence of God in our lives from moment to moment, so that without human cultivation and without toilsome seeking, there would come upon us this enduement, this sweet and radiant fragrance that gives meaning to our witness!"
May this be our prayer every day. To be holy. To be like Him. To be used for His kingdom and glory always.
Amen

Waiting on the Lord
Waiting on the Lord is often the hardest thing we have to do. I have been waiting for about three weeks for the surgery that will attempt to remove my pancreatic cancer. (It is scheduled for this Thursday). Waiting while having to deal with the other vicissitudes of life can be very wearing.
Father,
Help all of Your people, in big things or in small, to learn to wait for Your timing. Give us the patience and trust in You necessary to deal with these waiting periods. And help us to deal in a calm and deliberate way with the things we need to deal with during the wait.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

Brokenness
Abba, we feel the brokenness of this world. We pray for the parents who have lost children, the folks who have lost spouses, the couples who long to have children, those who have seen dreams die, and those who suffer from illness and pain. Help them to trust that you are a good and loving Father who loves his children and always does what is best, even when we don't understand. Please don't let these things go to waste, but use them to make your children more like our Savior. Amen

God Bless America
The Flag stands among the ruins and
rubble of lives lost, dreams destroyed, families broken, friends gone, a way of
life under sever attack. All gone in the fire, smoke and ashes of the collapsed
Twin Towers. Terrorists had done their worst, yet there standing in the midst
of smoldering ashes and debris is the FLAG of the United States of America.
After all, no one can lay any other foundation than the one that is already laid, and that foundation is Jesus Christ.
Psalm 33:12 (GW)
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD. Blessed are the people he has chosen as his own.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD. Blessed are the people he has chosen as his own.
Blessed are the people who have these blessings! Blessed are the people whose God is the LORD!
So Father when we give our pledge to
the Flag of the United States of America it is with the acknowledgement that we
are “One Nation Under God.” Without You Father, we are nothing. So on this
weekend of 911 when we remember how much was lost in the assault on our nation,
we also remember all we have as “One Nation Under God” and it is Your blessings
that have sustained us throughout our history.
In the Name of Jesus our Lord and
Savior,
Amen

St Ignatius Prayer of Generosity
Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labor and not to ask for reward,
save that of knowing that I do your will.
Amen

WORTHY OF HIS CALLING
2 Thessalonians 1:11 "With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of His calling, and that by His power He may fulfill every good purpose yours and every act prompted by your faith."
Dear Lord, as I ponder this verse I must ask myself, am I worthy of Your calling in my life. Only by your grace am I worthy of anything. Only what you have done gives us the motivation to honor you in every hour of our lives. Perhaps it's as simple as walking out of a movie that proves to be unworthy of my eyes, or a book that must be discarded. An act of forgiveness when it's hard. A helping hand when it's not convenient. Lord, make my life and every day walk pleasing to you and worthy of Your calling. I love You. Amen.
Amen

Suffering with a Purpose

I am broken. I am weak.
There are times when I feel fearful of the situation, fearful that it will turn bad, fearful that I will end up in the wrong place, doing and saying the wrong things, fearful that I will lose control.
But in actual fact, I am in need of God. I am broken and weak and in no way am I able to save myself. I need his leading and I need his assurance.
Dear Abba, I am broken. I am weak. I need to realize that every day of my life and not think that I am any good. But to know that my goodness, my capabilities only comes from you. You are the source of my strength. You are the source of my life. I am fully dependent on you. I can do nothing without you. I can only do what I do everyday through Christ who strengthens me. I am broken, in you I am made whole. I am weak, in you I am made strong. Help me live my life everyday in you and through you. Not fearing anything but to trust in you, my Lord, my God and my King.
Amen

To be Strong in Sickness
Last Friday I fell and fractured my pelvis is two places. Almost a week later I am still in pain but not as much as I was back then. I am thankful for the ways that God has used people to help me in all aspects of my recovery. From the Good Samaritan who helped me up when I fell to those who ministered to me in the hospital, God has been with me in every step of this recovery. I have weeks of recovery left but I am so thankful for the progress so far. Please pray this prayer with me that I may be strong as I recover.
Lord,
