FATHER
“Honor your father ……..”
Exodus
20:12 (NIV)
Dear
heavenly Father, Father’s Day finds my heart stirred with thoughts of my
Dad, raised in the country, a child of the great depression who lived through many
difficult days. And though his years were few, just 52, he loved his family and
worked hard to provide for us. My memories of him are limited for I only knew him
for 12 years before our home was broken through the stress of irreconcilable
human relationship that often leads to despair and divorce.
Yet,
he was my father, I bear his name and image. Some of his traits and disposition
are mine. And though I did not know him well here, we will get far better
acquainted in heaven where all things will be made new and infinitely better.
So Father, I thank You for my Dad, and want to honor him with an expression of my
love and respect that will find its full bloom in heaven and our anticipated joyful
reunion.
Amen

Living in the Light
Lord, thank You that You are Light and in You there is no darkness. As I walk with You I don't have to be afraid of the dark. Even in the darkest night, You are there. In the scary, dark places, You have treasures for me, which shine even brighter against the darkness. As I go through those times, Your presence and grace comfort and bring light to my soul. As I trust in You and follow You, may your glorious light shine on me to see me through. In Jesus name I pray, Amen

Help us Lord to reign in our egos.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. [Matthew 5:16]
Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. [Matthew 6:1]
These verses may seem to be at odds with each but they are not. They both deal with motivation. The first is about glorifying God while the second is glorifying ourselves.
Help us Lord to reign in our egos.
Teach us Lord to be aware of why we do good things.
Let the message of our lives be all about shining our lights for you.
We pray that our lives would be loving and ones that bring you glory.
Help us to embrace a love for others that is unconditional and divinely exalting.
In all of our ways. In all of our days. Help us to be like you.

Seeing through God’s eyes
Father,
In a world full of brokenness, ugliness, and evil, help us to find beauty in the ordinary. The joy in the pain. The complex in the simple. The wonder amidst the cynicism.
Help us to see the world through your eyes, and to point others to you. Thank you for the hope of Jesus Christ: the beauty, the joy, the complex, and the wonder. The good. For he is continuing to redeem this broken world.

HAVE YOU BEEN WITH JESUS?
Acts 4:12,13
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and took note that these men had been with Jesus."
Dear Lord, I am Your witness, that You are God and apart from You there is no Savior. Help me to declare the truth with boldness. May the words of my mouth and the testimony of my life make it clear that I've been with You, dear Jesus. I love You. Amen.

Undeserved Privilege
Romans 5:2 (NLT)
2 Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.

Father
when I contemplate the privilege of friendship and fellowship with you, it is
stunning. The wonder of such a personal relationship with God, who created and
sustains all things. God with whom power has no limit, wisdom has no error,
love has no measure, holiness has no flaw and mercy has no prejudice.
This
privilege makes us the apple of your eye, the object of your affection and the
treasure of your heart. What an astounding thought! How much you love us and
think about us. It reminds me of Psalm 139:17 (NLT) How precious
are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!
Father,
may I ever be mindful that, this privilege is undeserved. This is pure and
glorious grace. It is a relationship which only you could make possible. Thank
you Father from an undeserving heart and an eternally grateful soul.
In
Jesus Name, Amen.

Privileges
How great are my privileges in Christ Jesus!
Without him I stand far off, a stranger, an outcast;
in him I draw near and touch his kingly sceptre.
Without him I dare not lift up my guilty eyes;
in him I gaze upon my Father-God and Friend.
Without him I hide my lips in trembling shame;
in him I open my mouth in petition and praise.
Without him all is wrath and consuming fire;
in him is all love, and the repose of my soul.
Without him is gaping hell below me, and eternal
anguish;
in him its gates are barred to me by his precious
blood.
Without him darkness spreads its horrors in front;
in him an eternity of glory is my boundless
horizon.
Without him all within me is terror and dismay,
in him every accusation is charmed into joy and
peace.
Without him all things external call for my
condemnation;
in him they minister to my comfort,
and are to be enjoyed with thanksgiving.
Praise be to thee for grace,
and for the unspeakable gift of Jesus.
Amen

KEEPS ME FROM FALLING
Jude 1:24 "To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy ~~to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen!"
But as for me, O Lord, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold....Yet, I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterwards you will take me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? The earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. O Jesus my Savior, You alone keep me from falling. You alone present me faultless before God ~ right now, and forevermore. I love You. Amen.

Give Thanks
Psalm 92:1-4 (NLT)
1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to the Most High. 2 It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening, 3 accompanied by the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre. 4 You thrill me, LORD, with all you have done for me! I sing for joy because of what you have done.

Indeed Father, it is good to express our gratitude
to you for the countless blessings you have so generously given us. And as
great as your gifts are they do not compare to the gift of yourself to us.
Thank you Father for the gift of your presence
with us, for your peace that settles our hearts in troubled times and for your
strength that sustains us every day. Thank you for so many prayers answered, so
many hopes fulfilled, and so many needs met. What a gracious, compassionate and
merciful God and Father you are.
Indeed “It is good to give thanks to the LORD.”
We
worship and praise you Father, in the name of your Son and our Savior, Jesus.

Glory to glory
Precious Father, how wonderful You are! Thank You for loving me like You do. You are showing me how to find high ground even in the valley of disappointment. I now see this phase of my journey as sacred and significant. Help me to look for and find the treasures in this place. This I know: You are changing me, transforming me into Your likeness. I am living and breathing on the earth today to bring You glory and reflect Your goodness. And no delay or disappointment can keep me from that divine appointment! Continue Your good work in me. Thank You for all of the blessings I enjoy today. Help me never take them for granted. I love You, Jesus, Amen.
"We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves; For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! 2 Corinthians 4:7, 17
