A Prayer—The Glory of God

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise.

O righteous God, who searches minds and hearts and who saves the faithful in Christ Jesus our savior, I give thanks to you because of your righteousness and will sing praises to the name of the Lord God Most High. 

I pray to know and delight myself in you O God; in your invisible qualities, your eternal power and your divine nature; and delight myself day after day in Christ, rejoicing always in your presence; delight myself in your love, your mercy, and your favor. 

I am unworthy O God to approach your Holy Presence! In all that you have done through me and commanded me to do Father, I am an unworthy servant of the Most High God; I have only done my duty.

When I consider your heavens, O Most High, the work of your fingers, the moon, the stars and the universe, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of him, the son of mankind that you care for him? 

You made us a little lower than the heavenly beings yet crowned us with glory and honor. You made us ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under our feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. 

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

In Christ Name I Pray
Amen

A Prayer--of God’s Glory and Mercy

I will exalt you, my dear God and my King; I will praise your name forever. Each day I will praise you because of your love and your faithfulness. For great is your love for me, Lord God Almighty; and most worthy are you of praise, King of the Ages; who can fathom your goodness and favor that you show your Saints? I thank you God for your faithfulness; I thank you Father for your love.

May this generation of Saints praise you for your mercy; may we faithfully declare your salvation to the next generation. I will forever testify of your mighty acts of salvation given mankind through Jesus Christ. May we know and speak with reverent awe of your glorious splendor, of your majesty, and the unlimited mercy shown to mankind. We will tell the truth of your power and your glory; We will meditate on all your wonderful works.

We will celebrate your abundant goodness to us Lord; and joyfully sing of your righteousness. For you are gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. You are good O Lord, and everything that you do is good; as Jesus said, there is no one who is good except God alone. 

Despite all our faults, Lord God, and all our sins, you have never treated me as my sins deserve nor have you repaid me according to our iniquities. For, just as far as the east is from the west Lord, so far have you removed our sins from us with the precious blood of Jesus Christ!

Therefore we exclaim the glory of your kingdom and speak of your great salvation. Your kingdom Lord Jesus Christ is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. As our Father has said of you Christ, Your throne, O God will last forever; and may we live to praise your holy name.

A Prayer—Transcending Peace

Today Father I pray for the peace of God, which transcends all understanding; and may this peace guard our hearts and guard our minds in Christ Jesus.

I pray to rejoice in the Lord Jesus Christ always. I will pray it again O God for the Saints: may we rejoice in Him, letting our gentleness be evident to all for you O God are always near. 

I pray that we will not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by faithful prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present our requests to you, our God; and may the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, jealously guard our hearts and guard our minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally Lord God, I pray that whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—may we think about such things knowing that you our dear and loving Father, the God of peace will be with us.

A Prayer—Walking in a Transformed Life with God

Please give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my prayers and petitions today. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for it is to you I pray. Each morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; each day I lay all my requests before you and wait in expectation for your salvation, your deliverance, your mercies, and your strength. 

You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil Father; with you the wicked simply cannot dwell. If I had cherished sin in my heart and in my life, the Lord would not have listened to my prayers. But you, O God have surely listened and hear my voice each day. 

So I pray that by your great mercy, I will come into your divine presence each day in complete repentance and washed clean from all sin by the blood of Christ as you continuously transform me into Christ likeliness. In reverence I will bow down in love and praise Father, for your holy name. So Lead me, O Lord, into your righteousness and holiness; make straight your way before me. 

Let all who take refuge in Christ be glad; let us forever sing songs of joyful praise. Spread your protection over the people of God that those who love your name may rejoice in you. 
For surely, O Lord, you bless your Saints; you surround us with your favor as with a shield. 

Therefore your praises shall forever be on all of our tongues.
In Christ Name I Pray,
Amen

A Prayer—To Walk intimately with God

Please answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer for strength. Show me the wonders Father of your great love, you who save by your right hand. 

Teach me O Lord to delight myself in you, and may you grant me the desire of my heart to know you the One true God, and to know Jesus Christ whom you sent to save us. 

Keep me as the apple of your eye for I know O Lord, that you have set apart the godly for yourself. Hide me in the shadow of your wings O Lord and hear me when I call to you always. 

I pray, O Lord, that in my anger, and trials that I will not sin; when I am on my bed O God, guide me to search my heart and be still, and know that you are God. Let the light of your face shine upon us, O Lord. 

You have filled my heart with greater joy than ever by the knowledge and obedience to Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore I will lie down and sleep in peace this night, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

In Christ Jesus’ Name I Pray O Lord
Amen

A Prayer—Of Thanksgiving for God’s Glory

The heavens declare your Glory O God; even the skies proclaim the work of your hands. Day after day they pour forth your testimony; night after night they display the knowledge of your divine nature. There is no speech or language where the voice of your creation does not display your Glory Father. 

For the creation itself teaches us about you O God; the creation itself making who you are clear and plain to us. For since the creation of the world Father, your invisible qualities—your eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what you have made, so that men are without excuse for not giving you thanks. 

So Father, I give you thanks for Jesus, the author of our salvation for through him all things in creation were made; and without him nothing in creation was made that has been made. 

I also give thanks that you have given us this new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead; and for this, unmovable, unshakable inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade, being kept in heaven for us, who through faith are shielded by your power until the 2nd coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

I thank you Lord God Almighty that you chose me in Christ Jesus before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in your sight. I thank you that in your great love, you predestined me to be adopted as your son (daughter) through faith in Jesus Christ even as the creation continues to wait in eager expectation for more of the Sons of God to be revealed.

So may your Glorify and the radiance of Jesus Christ be revealed even more in our lives O Lord. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my God, my Rock and my Redeemer!

In Jesus Name I Pray
Amen

A Prayer—Faith and Thanksgiving

Holy Father, I thank you for the blessings of forgiving our many transgressions; and I thank you that through Jesus Christ all our sins have been are covered. I especially thank you Lord for the rich and eternal blessings that because of Christ you will never count our sins against us; and in the spirit of my family may there be no deceit. 

As we once sat in darkness Father, and kept silent before you, our bones wasted away through groaning all day long. For day and night your divine hand was heavy upon us; our strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. Then we acknowledged our sin to you and did not cover up our iniquities. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord"---and you forgave the guilt of our sin through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I pray that your unfailing love surround us O God and that we trust in you with all our heart, rejoicing always in Jesus Christ our Lord; for there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we also live.

A Prayer—God my Deliverer 

I love you, O Lord, my strength for you are my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, you are my shield; you are the horn of my salvation; and you are my stronghold.

I cry out to you Lord, for you are worthy of praise, and you saved me from the enemy. The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction tried to overwhelm me. The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called to you Lord Jesus Christ; I cried to my God for help. 

From heaven you heard my voice; my cry came before you. You reached down from on high and took hold of me; you drew me out of the deep waters of sin and death. You rescued me from the power of the enemy, for you are my mighty deliverer.

You brought me out into the spaciousness and mercy of Jesus Christ; you rescued me since you delighted in me because of Christ. The Lord God has dealt with me according to my righteousness in Jesus Christ; according to the cleanness of my hands because of the Cross. 

The Lord God lives! Praise be to God my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior! He is the God who saves me, Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the Saints; I will sing the praises of your Holy name.

In Christ Name I Pray.

A Prayer—Deep Appreciation for the Love of Our God

O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. 

You hem me in---behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me through Christ. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand, Jesus Christ, will hold me fast. 

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you through the mercy of Jesus Christ our Lord. 

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you Father because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. 

All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. 

When I awake, I am still with you dear God. Search me, O God, and know my heart for you; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

In The Precious Name of Jesus Christ I Pray
Amen

A Prayer—More Than Conquerors 

Father I give thanks to you today, through Jesus Christ, for your word; I give thanks for its truth; and rejoice that we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus who loved us. 

For I am convinced, O God, that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

A Prayer— Praise the Lord All Creation

Praise the Lord All Creation!

Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly hosts. Praise him sun and moon; praise him all you shining stars. Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. Praise him you people all over the earth. Let all creation praise your name O God.

We, your creation, praise your name O Lord, for you commanded and all creation came to pass. You set them in place forever and ever; you gave a decree that will never pass away.

So let all creation praise your name, for your love and faithfulness O God; for you alone are exalted; your splendor is above the heavens and the earth.

You have raised up for your creation the horn of salvation, Jesus Christ, the praise of all your saints, the people close to your precious heart.

Praise the Lord O my soul. Praise the Lord.

A Prayer—Praise the Lord O my Soul

Praise the Lord O my soul. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise you Father!

The Lord our God builds up His house; he gathers the saints for salvation. O God you heal the brokenhearted and bind up our wounds. You, O Lord, save and sustain the humble on the path of life, but cast the wicked to the ground on the path to death.

For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and how is must sadden your heart O God, that many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and how we sorrow with you Father, that only a few find it.

So enable that Saints in the land, O God, to sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; inspire our hearts to make music to our God. For it is you our God that covers the sky with clouds; you supply the earth with rain and make grass grow on the hills; you provide food for every living creature on earth and in the seas. You determine the number of the stars and call them each by name! For Great is the Lord our God; and mighty is your power; your understanding O God has no limit.

Your pleasure, Lord God, is not in the strength of the neither mighty nor powerful, nor do you delight in the wisdom and achievements of mankind; so we praise you Lord God, that your delight is in those who fear you, and those who put their hope in your unfailing love in Jesus Christ or Savior.

So we will extol the Lord our God forever, for He has revealed his word to His Prophets and to His Saints. Praise the Lord O my soul; praise the Lord.

In Christ Name I Pray
Amen

A Prayer—of Spiritual Warfare

Lord God, although we live in this world we refuse to wage war as the world does. The powerful weapons of our life of faith and obedience to your message of Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection, and ascension are not the weapons of this world.

On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We therefore demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God; and by the divine power of Christ, we take captive every thought and make them all obedient to Jesus Christ.

O Lord our God, be not far off in this battle; O my Strength, always come quickly to help us. Deliver our lives from all evil; our precious life in Christ from the power of darkness. Rescue us from the devils schemes; save us from his flaming arrows.

For dominion belongs to you Lord and you rule over heaven and earth. I praise you that you always and forever will work through to the good in the lives of all who love you, and who fear your holy name.

I will exalt you, my God and my King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever.

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; your greatness no one can fathom. One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts. They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds.

They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness. For the Lord our God is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. You are good O Lord to all; you have compassion on all you have made.

All you have made will praise you, O Lord; your saints will extol you. They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might, so that all men may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. You are faithful to all your promises; and you are loving toward all you have made.

My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord. Let every creature praise your holy name.

A Prayer—of Transformation, Godliness, Repentance

Since we have been raised with Christ, O God, please help us to set our hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at your right hand. Yes Lord, may we set our minds on things above, not on earthly things.

For In Christ Jesus we died, and we thank you that our lives are now hidden with Christ in you, our God. So we praise you Father, and we thank you that when Christ, who is our life appears, then we also will appear with him in glory.

Therefore I pray in earnest that we put to death whatever belongs to our earthly nature: including sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, all of which is idolatry; and may we put to death anything else in our lives that is not pleasing to you, our God. We know Lord that it is because of these that the wrath of God is coming.

I give thanks that because of your great mercy to us in Christ, the old self was taken off and the new self put on, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image our Creator, The Lord God Almighty is his name.

But now O God, I pray that we rid ourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from our lips. As your chosen people Father, holy and dearly loved by you, I pray that we clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

I pray that we bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances we may have against one another. Empower us to forgive O God, just, as in Christ Jesus, you forgave us.

And over all these virtues Father, I pray that we put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. I pray that the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, since as members of one body we were called to peace. And I pray that we would always be thankful.

I pray that the word of Christ dwell in us richly, O God. When we come together to sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs may our hearts overflow with gratitude to you our God for all that you have done for us through Jesus Christ our Lord.

And whatever we you do, Father, whether in word or deed, I pray that we do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to you, our God and Father through him.

In Christ Name I Pray,
Amen

Words Of Encouragement--12/25/2012--A Poem for Christ
I wrote this in 2004 and post it every holiday season. Enjoy.

A Poem For Him

Money in the Millions upon Millions will come and eventually go.
What we have in God & Christ will last, and the world does not yet know.

Bringing Glory to God with a life of earnest prayers, and service to him through and through,
This is really our true life on earth and the task we must do.

Christ, this great mystery of God, and the forgiveness of all sin,
Love, trust and faith in his Holy Blood, with wholehearted pursuit of this I can win.

So power, friends, homes, family, even material wealth are all good when things are straight,
But a life completely devoted to God is what is lasting, good, and great;

This Hope is Holy, it is precious, and it fills all voids with the treasure of Christ for us his seeds,
Truly these are the things, which are Godly, powerful, and persistent commitment to them is what will fulfill our every need.

A Prayer—O Lord my Strength

I love you, O LORD, my strength. I thank you that are my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge; you are my shield, and the horn of my salvation; you are my stronghold.

The LORD Jesus Christ is my light and my salvation —whom shall I fear O God, but you alone? You are the stronghold of my life Father—of whom shall I be afraid? When the evil day comes against me to devour me, it will stumble and fall. Though many trails besiege me, my heart will not fear; though spiritual war breaks out against me, even then I will be confident.

One thing I ask from you Father, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, through faith in Jesus Christ; that I may gaze on the beauty and majesty of the LORD and seek you wholeheartedly at all times.

For in the days of trouble you keep safely in Christ. For you are my God, and I will give you thanks; you are my God, and I will exalt you. I give you thanks Lord, for you are good, and your love endures forever.

A Prayer—For this Living Hope

I will forever praise you, the God and Father of my Lord Jesus Christ! For In your great mercy O God, you have given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

In your great mercy you have given us an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade; in your great mercy you have kept our salvation tucked away in heaven for all those who, through faith, are shielded by your great power.

In this salvation Lord God, I greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, we may have to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. I praise you Lord, even in these storms; for they have come so that my faith—of greater worth than gold,—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

So I pray Lord that you make my faith genuine through these trials as you have promised; make my faith one of sincere and devoted love for you; love for Christ; love for our neighbor; love for the family of believers.

As you have written Lord “Be holy, because I am holy.” Therefore as obedient children make us holy in all that we do Lord, and in all that we are.

I praise you Lord and I thank you.

A Prayer--of Gratitude for the Hope we have in Christ

I thank you Father for including me among God’s elect. We are strangers in this world Lord, yet chosen according to the foreknowledge of you our God and Father. Through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, you have called us to obedience to Jesus Christ our Lord, and covered us with sprinkling by his blood for the forgiveness of all sins.

As for me Lord there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom I live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom I live.
May your eyes always be upon those who fear you Lord God; may you always guard and protect those whose hope is in your unfailing love given us through Christ Jesus our Lord.

So I earnestly pray to always wait patiently in hope for your mighty deliverance O God; for you are my help and my shield. In you our hearts rejoice, for we trust in your Holy name; we trust in your Son Jesus Christ. I pray that your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you all day long.

For the joy of the LORD Jesus is my strength. Though I have not seen you Lord as the Apostles did, I love you; and even though I do not see you now, I believe in you; therefore may you fill me with your inexpressible and glorious joy, for in all my trials and struggles I am indeed receiving the goal of my faith, the salvation of my soul.

Oh, God that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees! Then I would not be put to shame when I consider all of your commands. Father I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws. I will obey your decrees; please do not utterly forsake me.
