The Prayerful Word - August 15

  • 1 Chronicles 28:20 David said further to his son Solomon, “Be strong and of good courage, and act. Do not be afraid or dismayed; for the Lord God, my God, is with you.”

    John 14:14 Jesus said, “You may ask Me for anything in My name, and I will do it.”

    Romans 8:15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."

    Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

    May you revel in the great goodness of the Lord your God as you eat at His table to the full and are well-nourished with the diversity He provides, for He has given you possession of your soul, redeeming it from the power of death, filling your heart and mind with the good things of His Spirit, wells of living water springing up and overflowing, and the many fruits of His Spirit to bless others and show that the Lord, He is God. Nehemiah 9

    May you not neglect the house of God, or the service of God. Nehemiah 10

    Because of the compassion of God, may you use the freedom you are given in Christ to make yourself a slave to everyone in order to bring as many as possible to a saving knowledge of Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 9

    May you become all things to all people so that by all possible means some may be saved, doing this for the sake of the gospel, that you may share in its blessings. 1 Corinthians 9

    May you run in the race set before you in such a way as to get the prize, a crown that will last forever, well worth making your body your slave so that after you have spoken the truth to others, you yourself will not be disqualified for the prize. 1 Corinthians 9

    As you partake in the spiritual bounty of Christ, eating and drinking the blessings of the Word and the Spirit, may you keep your heart focused on the Lord and the things of God, worshiping Him only, not distracted by the pleasures of the world; purifying your heart and mind, for to the pure, all things are pure; obeying the Lord in faith and trusting His Word, accepting His provision; exalting and worshiping the Lord with thanksgiving and praise, that you may walk in the newness of life that He brings. 1 Corinthians 10

    May you be careful if you think you are standing firm, lest you fall, for when you are tempted, as is common to all people, God, in His faithfulness, will provide a way out, in due time, so that you can stand up under it, without which it would be more than you can bear. 1 Corinthians 10

    Trust Me, My child, to bring victory out of defeat, and to bring joy out of sorrow. In faith, My love, day by day, moment by moment, submit in humility to Me as Lord, giving Me the reins of your life, trusting Me to steer and guide you safely through the obstacles you face and past the roadblocks that have hindered you.
    Take joy in My presence, and give praise for My leading, even before you see the results, simply for My grace in your life. As you worship, you will see results as relationships change and circumstances shift, for when your ways are pleasing to Me, I make even your enemies to be at peace with you. I will bring you out into a spacious place, rescuing you because I delight in you.

    May you extol the Lord at all time with praise that is continually on your lips while your soul makes her boast in the Lord, for then the afflicted will hear and be glad, glorifying the Lord with you as you exalt His name together. Psalms 34

    May you seek the Lord, for He will answer you and deliver you by His love from all your fears, causing those who look to Him to be radiant since their faces are never covered with shame. Psalms 34

    May you call out to the Lord, for He will hear you and save you out of all your troubles, for the angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and delivers them. Psalms 34

    May you taste and see that the Lord is good, for the man who takes refuge in Him is blessed. Psalms 34

    May you fear the Lord with reverential awe and respectful obedience, for those who do lack nothing, and though even lions may grow weak and hungry, those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. Psalms 34

    May you heed the counsel of God which the poor cry out to you, and adjust your ways, for if you ignore them you, too, will cry out to God and be ignored by Him. Proverbs 21:13
