Worthless Things

Lord,

Turn my eyes from worthless things and give me life through your word. Fix my eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. This world and it's desires are passing away. Thank you for dying for my sins so that I can live forever. May I not store up treasure here on earth, but help me to store up treasures in heaven. May I seek your Kingdom first. May I consider everything else as worthless compared to the infinite value of knowing you.

Scripture: Psalm 119:37, 2 Corinthians 4:18 (NIV), 1 John 2:7, Matthew 6:19-20, Matthew 6:33, Philippians 3:8

Ephesians 1:16-20

I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. (‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭16-20‬ NLT)

Skillet: You are my hope

Since this is a blog of prayers, let this song be your prayer.




Hope in God

Lord,

Help me to be strong and courageous as I put my hope in you. Watch over me and let me rely on your unfailing love. May you be my only hope. When I am discouraged or sad, let me put my hope in you and praise you again. You are my hope and have been my hope since I was young.
How blessed am I when I put my hope in you. I will be like a tree planted along a riverbank with roots that reach deep into the water. I will not be bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. My leaves will stay green and I will never stop producing fruit.

Oh Lord, be a refuge and a strong fortress for me.

In Jesus' name,
Amen

Scripture: Psalm 31:24, Psalm 33:18, Psalm 39:7, Psalm 42:11, Psalm 71:5, Psalm 146:5, Jeremiah 17:8, Joel 3:16

Positive Attitude

Lord,

Help me to always look for the best in people. Help me to always be joyful, to never stop praying, and to be thankful in all circumstances. Remind me that You cause all things to work together for the good of those who love You and are called according to your purposes for them.
May I consider it an opportunity for great joy when troubles come my way. Remind me that when my faith is tested, my endurance has a chance to grow. When my endurance is fully developed, I will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. Fill me completely with joy and peace because I trust in You. Let me overflow with confident hope through the power of Your Spirit.

This is the day You have made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13;7 (MSG), 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Romans 8:28, James 1:2-4, Romans 15:13, Psalm 118:24

Joy

But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you.
May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, "The LORD is great!"
(‭Psalms‬ ‭40‬:‭16‬ NLT)

Don't Waste Your Sports

Lord,

Help us to play or coach sports for your Glory. May we grow to know You better and better. May we give ourselves completely to you as our act of worship. We thank you for gift of sports.
May we display your character as we participate. Help us to be humble, thinking of others as better than ourselves. Let us not participate to be served, but to serve. Help us to clear our hearts of anything that takes your place.

In Jesus' name,
Amen
