Sunday 31st December Be Strong And Courageous Hosanna ​ Psalm 119 v153:160 Holy Lord God of Israel, worthy is Your name of all honour and praise. Yesterday we read Your assertion for the children of Israel, Your plan for them to prosper and not to perish. Today we lift up hungry arms for the same. You know our circumstance, Lord, You intimately know our place. We are lost without You. Teach us, reach us and guide us, wisest of kings, that we might reach the Promised Land, that we might point the Way to others, that we might lift our hearts in singing and praise. Sweet Jesus, consider our pleas. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=0OBRvxrzhqs Saturday 30th December With all the actions, please :-) My God Is So Big Our God Is A Great Big God I Reach Up High Matthew 18 v1:11 Heavenly Father, keep us and guide us, as little children lead us. You want us to be mature in our outlook and understanding, as effective workers in Your fields and Kingdom, yet we should never think so highly of ourselves as to be beyond the instruction of godly children. Lord God, thank you for Your precious gifts, thank You for Your Son, Jesus, the Christ. You came in innocence, lived without blemish and died that we might share in this glorious inheritance. Help us do likewise, to honour the Father, to cherish the Son and accept the Holy Spirit, in Jesus's wonderful name, Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=DJwUvjVq9k4 https://youtube.com/watch?v=4dRc0up7Sck ​ Friday 29th December Holy Is The Lord How Great Thou Art ​ Amos 9 v7:15 Holy Lord, it is clear from our relationship with You that You are unfathomable and vast beyond our comprehension. How delightful and awesome it is to serve the Living God! Your splendour and majesty alone are enough to confound us, just the works of Your hands can take a lifetime of devotion to study. How blessed we are to have such a patient, loving and caring teacher! You are revealing Yourself to each of us in ways that equip us for an eternity with You. Sometimes the road to this understanding is rocky, sometimes it is smooth, sometimes it is exciting, sometimes it seems as if we are not even moving. Yet You have us in the palm of Your hand, You desire to finish the work that You have started in each of us, You strive, with patience and faithfulness, to complete us. Father God, thank You for Your wonders and mysteries, for Your love and creation, for your mercy and compassion. Amen. ​ Thursday 28th December Blessed Assurance Be Thou My Vision Matthew 13 v41:43 Our Father in Heaven, to You be all praise, honour and glory. You are the Name above all Names, Jesus Messiah. You are the light that shines in the darkness, at Your name all darkness flees. In You we have the promise of eternal life. In You alone. Your death upon the cross at Calvary opened the way for all who believe, that anyone who accepts Jesus as their Lord and Saviour may one day pass through heaven's gates as an accepted, upright and forgiven child of the Most High God. There is no mystery, deceit or further meaning to be discerned or explored, this truth is simple and universal, a truth for every man, woman and child to weigh. Today we pray for all those on the path who are yet to make a decision, for all those still lost in the confusion of the Enemy's twisted reality, that in the time of choosing, they see clearly enough to step toward You, Lord, to accept the prize so freely given at such a cost, to be set free from sin as we once were. In Jesus's precious name and by His precious blood we pray this, to Your glory in Heaven, to the coming of Your Kingdom, Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=s7jXASBWwwI Wednesday 27th December Wonderful Grace Of Jesus I Stand Amazed Ecclesiastes 9 v17:18 Holy Lord of Heaven, King of Kings, Wise Counsellor, today we read in your Word about the true weapons of warfare for establishing Your kingdom. Help us, Father, with words to say and wisdom to deploy, that we might overturn strongholds and calm the raging storms and the heaving seas in the matchless and precious name of Jesus. Amen. Tuesday 26th December We Wait For You Rejoice Let My Life Be Like A Love Song Job 4 v12:21 Holy Lord, here we see the insidiousness and malevolence of the Accuser revealed. His place is as an intimidator and an intimator, at first hearing cajoling and offering an artificially sweetened, twisted version of the truth. May You, true King of Heaven, the Triune Unity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Mighty Jehovah, rebuke Satan in our lives, continue to equip us fully to stand in this evil day. Help us sift through the bombardment of information we are required to process every day, to read and listen again, to look for the gold and precious gems of Your wisdom and to swiftly and forcefully reject the barbs and snares of the evil one, in the name and by the precious blood of Jesus, our Immanuel, Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=K71EYID22l4 Monday 25th December Part 2! An extra contribution from brother Jeremy in the UK, clearly intended for this day! All praises to our God and King! Theme: Advent Preparation Son Of God His Name Shall Be Micah 1 v2:3 Isaiah 40 v1:5 Isaiah 60 v1:5 Dear Lord, Thank you for coming to us in miraculous ways. In the birth of John, the journey to Bethlehem, the coming of Jesus, the coming of the star, the coming of the magi, the coming of the angels, the escape to Egypt outwitting the coming of Herod's men. The Lord coming among us. The glory of the Lord rises upon you. Your ways are beyond us yet you came in all humility beyond human comprehension of man to show your love and desire to make your love known. Thank you so much Lord that your heart is for me and you came as a baby to save and rescue me. Such undeserved love and mercy and yet I so needed saving from Adam's sin and the earthly reality that is still present and needed today. Amazing love how can it be... that you gave your all for me. Hallelujah Lord! Amen. ​ Monday 25th December A very Merry and Blessed Christmas to one and all from all at twoooneone.org. We look forward to sharing and worshipping our precious Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ with you in the coming year, and to seeing His Glorious Will and Majesty unfolding in all of our lives, to the glory of our Father in Heaven. Amen. What A Friend We Have In Jesus Give Me Jesus John 1 v3:4 Holy Lord, You went before the Israelites as a pillar of cloud and fire. In this day and age, we have Your Word and Your promise to carry before us. There is no part of You that we are denied. As we walk with You we see Your divine majesty at work, in the great and the small, in the finite and the infinite. You are at once incomprehensible and easy to understand. Oh Lord God, how we thank You for Your gift, Your blessing, Your love. You are the only way. Without You we fall, with You we have fulness in everything we think, feel and do. The choice is a simple one, the scope of the gift incomprehensible. We love You, Lord. Amen. Sunday 24th December Here For You King Of Glory Romans 8 v18:25 Colossians 3 v12:17 Holy Lord and Heavenly Father God, King Of Israel, Lord of Hosts, we stand ready for the coming of Your Son. We stand in the gaps of the walls of the spiritual Jerusalem, we take up our arms and armour in the defence of Your proclaimed Kingdom on Earth, we stand in the field waiting, whilst You stand at the door and knock. On the day of Your return, Lord, all battles will be won, all fires of destruction put out, only the pit reserved for the ones that stood against you will remain. Then we will rest with You, Lord, rejoice with You, worship You without let or hinderance. You help us walk, You help us stand, You alone are God Almighty, whose name we proclaim in all the earth, Hallelujah and Amen. ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=1CBNE25rtnE Saturday 23rd December Lord Of Patience https://youtube.com/watch?v=KR7jJqf5w_c Holy Spirit https://youtube.com/watch?v=eFByOX8Fb0M ​ John 1 v1:17 https://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%201:1-17 Holy Father in Heaven, today as we read Your Word we see the awesome splendour of the gift of Your Son, Jesus. Even before we consider His life, His ministry or His gruesome death, we see an incomprehensible act of love, that You the Father should send the Son, that You the Son should depart from the sanctity of Heaven to dwell amongst Your children, even for a short time. That You should lay down and become less that we could become more. In this time of gift giving, when many are running around trying to complete one list or another, may we stop and take time to think upon and honour You, the most glorious gift of all. Amen. Friday 22nd December Jesus Messiah https://youtube.com/watch?v=_YqHGFtnMOI Your Praise Will Ever Be On My Lips https://youtube.com/watch?v=G5lMNPxM1Ow Zechariah 9 v11:16 https://biblegateway.com/passage/… Dear Lord, Jesus is our salvation, our redeemer. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Only through Him do we have any identity, any life, any understanding of why things are the way they are. He has conquered the grave to bring us to a place of reconciliation. Help us, Holy One of Israel, to identify and overcome the barriers that hinder our walk with You today, to commit ourselves to a conscious act of obedience to You. It is not by works that we are saved, You have already won the victory and conferred that glorious blessing to us in Your strength alone, rather that, in improving our walk with You, we can become more effective as ministers and disciples, more responsible and mature as Your children. Equip us with keys to forgiveness and repentance in the wonderful and matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Thursday 21st December Theme: Women Of God -> Mary the Mother of Christ Silent Night https://youtube.com/watch?v=9T4WB2zfmps Come To The River https://youtube.com/watch?v=Rhb3I7_Qgi8 Luke 1 v26:30 https://biblestudytools.com/luke/passage/?q=luke+1:26-30 Holy Lord, you saw favour in your daughter Mary, that she might conceive of the Holy Spirit Your Son. Her composure and courage are an example to all of us, her commitment to do the Lord's will is a path we should all follow. When given the opportunity by You, God, Mary moved. Help us take lessons in all of these things, Lord, to think of them as the day of Christmas approaches. Your Son, Your life won the victory, for Your glory and for the coming Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. Amen. Wednesday 20th December A welcome to my wife as a contributor today. A season of blessing be upon all of us! Standing Right In Front Of You https://youtube.com/watch?v=QldzrQbRqP4 Why Me Lord? https://youtube.com/watch?v=AZDe-Kix8co John 17 v17 https://kingjamesbibleonline.org/John-17-17/ O Heavenly and Loving Father, what is the truth? What Jesus said about it is that He is the truth. The Bible is true, the Ten Commandments are true. In Psalm 119 it says that You have fashioned me so that I may understand them. The fact that Jesus is coming back is the truth. With all of this truth, help us follow You in these deceitful times, that we might be the called, the chosen, the faithful on Your return. Amen. Revelation 17 v14 https://kingjamesbibleonline.org/Revelation-17-14/ Tuesday 19th December Holy Spirit Rain Down https://youtube.com/watch?v=d-SI_HRWooA Holy Spirit https://youtube.com/watch?v=eFByOX8Fb0M John 14 v 1:17 https://biblegateway.com/passage/… Heavenly Father, in this season of celebration we can celebrate the fact that You came into the world, but that time is passed. Today we welcome Your Holy Spirit into our lives and celebrate the living comforter that is here now with and within each of us. You truly are the Architect of our Salvation, the loving Father, Creator of Heaven and Earth, who has in mind a plan to redeem us from a deserving death. Let us celebrate, share and prepare for Your coming, King of Heaven. You are worthy of all praise, You are in all and above all. Through the life, death and resurrection of Your Son, Jesus, we can experience this in our lives today. Thank you, Father God, thank You. Amen. Monday 18th December God sent a star to light the night for The Way, The Truth, The Life--His Son. He sent the Light of Life to prove His heart so we would invite His Son into our own. God has given us all the light we'll ever need to find peace on earth, goodwill to men. O Holy Night https://youtube.com/watch?v=iyjm6VpNaNA Hark!

Almighty God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit bless you now and forever. Amen. Sunday 17th December Wonderful Grace Of Jesus My Wonderful Lord 2 Kings 13 v1:9 Holy Lord, You commit our lives to stewardship of the things that You have given us. You have said that if we can show ourselves trustworthy with a little, that You will trust us with much. Holy Lord, You are worthy of all honour and praise. Your statutes are upright, You sent Your Son that we might walk uprightly. Amazing Mighty God, You are with each of us through Your Holy Spirit. Help us, each day, come back to our relationship with You. If Your Son, Jesus, who is the Christ, who is risen, who sits at the right hand of the Father in Heaven, being the Father, is with us, then what can stand against us? Let us step forward into this precious day Lord, and look for opportunity to steward, to take down the high places, in Your precious name, Amen. Saturday 16th December Theme: Advent Preparation See Amid The Winter's Snow O Little Town Of Bethlehem Luke 2 v1:20 Dear Lord, You came as an innocent, helpless baby into the world directly into conflict for Herod wanted to kill you. As a baby you was weak and helpless, as a man you stood before Herod helpless yet we know your power is perfected in weakness, for your weakness at Your birth and at the cross had the most saving power for mankind that has been ever known. Through humility you conquered. You have said to us through Paul.... 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me'. O Lord let us ponder to understand our calling. Let us search for understanding of this for we marvel at your life among us, our Emmanuel. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=FY0sIewVP7U Friday 15th December Hark! The Herald Angels Sing O Come All Ye Faithful Isaiah 9 v1:7 Holy Lord God of Israel, Maker of Heaven and Earth, we thank You. That in humility and perfect hope for all people, for all nations You were born to suffer as no other ever has or will suffer, that You left the sanctity and security of Heaven to be contended, beaten, spat at, scourged and more. You did this that we might begin to know You as You know each of us. You did this to open the way to the Father, to a love relationship that restored something lost since the fall of man. Awesome Lord! As the angels were sent to herald Your arrival, in accordance with all scripture, let us remember that we are commissioned to share the good news of Your birth, life, ministry, death and resurrection. Let us take up our pack and sword and, in the clothes we are wearing, go forward into the coming year prepared and equipped to do Your will, O Heavenly Father, to bring You glory and raise the name of Jesus high. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=nEH7_2c644Q Thursday 14th December Theme: Women Of God -> Abigail Came To My Rescue Majesty 1 Samuel 25 v2:42 O Lord, to know You is to love You. You have placed the truth on our lips and in our hearts, yet listening and obeying is a stumbling block if we stop and think about it. Your ways are higher, Your truth the true truth, the ONLY truth. A man of standing may have cause to think himself righteous, yet if his righteousness causes him to denude the King of Israel, then what benefit is it to him? Lord, in this time of strife we pray that You keep Your children on the straight and narrow path, that we can help each other to reach the highest place, where Your love and worship knows no bounds, where the praises of Your people stretches from horizon to horizon, day after day. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=_UglO7SGUWk Wednesday 13th December I Saw The Light Power In The Blood 2 Corinthians 1 v3:6 O Lord God, Our Father, Maker of Heaven and Earth, all glory, honour and praise to You. You alone have authority, You alone are fit to judge rightly. In scripture we see even the prophets given over to times of doubt and fear. Yet You, Lord, are a merciful God. You never send us trials that are outside of our ability to come through, in a dark and fallen world we may be often overwhelmed but never overcome. As long as we return to You. You are our hope and our salvation. Through the birth, life, death and resurrection of Your Son, Jesus Christ are we saved, only by return, repentance and renewal can we be transformed to be more like Him. There is no difficulty we face that He has not experienced, no problem that He does not understand personally, no suffering that he has not already been through, a thousand times over. Help us, Lord, to lift holy hands to You, to seek Your face, to call Your name. Thank You, in the days of our trials, as we thank You in the days of our blessing. You are the promise of our future, whatever the situation. As the Psalm says, "Tears may linger at nightfall, but joy comes in the morning." Amen.  https://youtube.com/watch?v=zndKvAVUHl0 Tuesday 12th December Holy Ground We Wait For You Isaiah 40 v5:11 Great are You, Lord of Heaven. Robed in majesty, wrapped in light. Thick clouds cover You, yet soon Your glory will be revealed. As we praise You, Most High God Of Israel, we get a sense of who You are. As we seek You diligently, we come to know You more. As we come to know You we are changed, irrevocably, forever. Thank You, Lord. What an awesome way You devised that we might come to know You, that even broken and undeserving vessels such as us can enter Your temple with praise and thanksgiving, restored and healed through the stripes of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Great are You Lord! Worthy is the Lamb! Hallelujah and Amen! ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=3jCnAAeEJSQ Monday 11th December This is Christmas: not the tinsel, not the giving and receiving, not even the carols, but the humble heart that receives anew the wondrous gift, the Christ. - Frank McKibben Best of all, Christmas means a spirit of love, a time when the love of God and love of our fellow men should prevail over all hatred and bitterness, a time when our thoughts and deeds and the spirit of our lives manifest the presence of God. Luke 2 v10 John 3 v16 It's Not Just About The Cross Angels From The Realms Of Glory Thank you God for sending Your Son on one glorious night to be born of a virgin, to live a perfect life and to die on the cross for my sins. Thank you that he rose from the dead three days later and that this Christmas and every Christmas we can celebrate the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Blessed are you Lord. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=yFbieLmFhHc Friday 8th December Here For You Lord I Need You Matthew 6 v25 Lord, You promises are forever. You are the God of, "Yes!" and, "Amen!" Your promises are certain. When You tell us not to be anxious You are not some powerless well wisher, making a recommendation that in all probability you yourself do not carry out, You are the King of Heaven, telling us with certainty, with reason, with power and authority that we, as Your children, do not need to fear, have no need to be anxious, have no reason to doubt. You are Jehovah Jireh, You are Jehovah Nissi, You are Jehovah Rophe. You are Jesus, the Christ, the Risen and Living King of Heaven. Your word for us, in intercession to the Father, is, "Grace!"

As I hear in the song, I give myself over to You, as I read in Your word, You are merciful and I am disobedient. Show off Your strength in my weakness, Lord. Overcome in me, that You may be glorified. I can do nothing without You, Lord of Hosts. I need You. I surrender myself to You, Lord. You are awesome, God, the living God, You alone are worthy, You sent Your Son, Jesus, that I might live. All of these things; the songs, the words, the claims are worthless without You.

Help us keep our eyes, focus and attention on You, Beautiful Saviour, today, to know what is right and good to do through the intervention of Your Holy Spirit. This world is fleeting, passing, yet it is filled with distractions, barbs and snares that lead us away from You.

We know that the time of your coming there was a yearning for your coming and in the carol it describes a calling out to you to come O come emmanuel. So Lord we ask you to come again to visit us and breathe your life and love into us for we need a messiah, a saviour to save our world , to save our family and to save me. We say, O come emmanuel for we so desperately need your presence with us, your light to shine and our lives to be born again. Quicken us, renew us, transform and change us as we wait for you to come to us.

She was brave and compassionate, a woman of substance. She surrendered her heart to You. Where this world sells complete independence, she chose to honour You above all else, to become totally dependent on You. Heavenly Father, today we ask You to break the bonds that bind Your daughters to the mindset of the selfish, to expose the ruse of the Enemy to fix them apart. We ask this that they can come to You, can be saved by You, can be lifted by You, in the wonderful, precious and matchless name of Jesus. Amen.  ​ Wednesday 29th November I Will Sing The Wondrous Story Here Now (Madness) Deuteronomy 32 v36:43 Lord, today we lift a prayer for those that lift their praises to foreign gods. They are lost, Lord, deceived, mistaken. May Your Holy Spirit reveal the truth of their waywardness, provide them with the opportunity to leave their wrongful ways, to abandon the heavy yoke of falsehood and subservience to capricious, inferior or dead powers. That they might hearken to the call like we once did, the still, small voice that can move mountains, that bade the adulterous women to sin no more, that calls all the weary to rest. This is the age of Your mercy, by the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus, the Christ. We pray this, Lord, not that we may be magnified, but that You, and You alone, may be glorified, honoured and lifted up, the rightful and true King of Heaven. Amen. Tuesday 28th November And Can It Be At The Cross Philippians 1 v9:26 ​Holy Lord, we read these words, 'to live is Christ, to die is gain.' How sweet the truth of our life here, temporary with You? Painful, contested, tragic it may be, drawn out over years, yet, in You, we have the certainty of a life redeemed, a life of equipping and preparation, brief and passing, to be exchanged for a robe, room, crown and table in Your Kingdom to come. Daily we pray for this transition to take place, for the wait to be over. Holy God of Heaven, as this does not occur, help us rejoice in the continued work of your hands in us, let us press forward excited and expectant of the continued revealing of Your love, truth, compassion and glory unfolding in our lives. Let us be as Paul, rejoicing in chains that You will one day break completely, in the knowledge that as we do this others, lost, broken and afraid as we once were, will also be called to the blessing of Your unfolding mercy through Jesus Christ, Your risen Son. Amen. Monday 27th November To God Be The Glory Indescribable 1 Chronicles 12 v16:18 O Father of Nations, our help lies within thee alone. Our surety, our part in the victory. Your Son, Jesus Christ has won it all, and shares it freely with those that acknowledge You as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He alone has made a way, is the only way to a full, living and eternal relationship with You. You loved us first, You reach for us, You called us by name in the beginning, You know our hearts. Let us freely come to You, Lord of Hosts, that we may surrender our crowns and bend our knee towards You, offering our allegiance until the End of Days, when we will take our place by Your side through the goodness of Your grace alone. All hail the God of Israel, the Redeemer, the Living God, in the name of Jesus, Amen. ​ Sunday 26th November The Old Rugged Cross I Give You My Heart ​Haggai 1 v2:10 ​Yes Lord, I sense a deep desire amongst Your children to satisfy their own desire rather than Yours. Myself included. Your Kingdom should be our first priority, You bought our freedom at a price. Heavenly Father teach me to walk this day as a child of the Most High God, to give myself fully to Your will and direction, God of Israel, Jehovah Shalom. Not that I will become a mindless automaton, but rather, in Your wisdom, strength, power and love, to become a person who chooses rightly, who follows You, who honours You in thought, word and deed. I need you more and more each day, Lord, and I pray Your goodness, peace and grace into the lives of my brothers and sisters who also make this prayer, that we become more corporate, more collegiate in Spirit and Truth, until that day we stand before Your throne. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. ​ Saturday 25th November Forever ​Count Your Blessings Romans 8 v31:39 Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name, our Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

Our Father in Heaven, How marvelous Your name in all the earth. In your daughter, Esther, we see a young woman who trusted in You completely, who was raised to be so, who honoured You, who honoured her adopted father, who honoured her husband. In return You honoured her and showed her favour to win through your people, to loosen the fetters of persecution and captivity. Today, Lord, we pray for your daughters, that they can minister effectively for Your Kingdom, that they can be specially prepared to carry out the works of Your hands, that they be given words, sustenance, position and authority to do Your will. When You were manifest in this world as Your Son, Jesus, You showed favour to such as Esther in your company, let us celebrate, honour and pray for the courageous women of God in Your name, Amen.

Amen Monday 20th November Your Praise Will Ever Be On My Lips I Give You Glory, Glory Colossians 2 v6:10 Holy and Heavenly Father, who is like You in all the Earth? Surely You are far above and beyond the understanding of men. Yet You have a mind for us. The excellence of Your ways, the beauty of Your majesty, the splendour of Your compassionate heart. You are revealing Yourself to each of us in his or her own time, unfolding like a landscape, opening like the most precious and beautiful of flowers, stretching your wings over us in wisdom, promise and love. How I pray that I can hold on, King of Kings, as You appear, as You come into view, that my breath does not choke off my life in recognition of your awesomeness and tender, loving care towards us.

Help us, dear Lord, not to forsake this precious gift, to walk more and more like You, to become more like Your Son, Jesus Christ.

That you keep me safe despite all that happens to Christians, that you are ultimately in control. Yet in hardship you can hold me and supply faith, in sin you can transform our mortal bodies into temples of righteousness because you are transforming us Christians who yet still sin by your amazing love and grace at work in the unseen spiritual world, because you are mighty, powerful and extravagant in love and saving grace. In John you command us to love one another as you have loved us and yet we see in your incredible love and power and wonder, how such love can be displayed in ourselves. You talk of Christ in me and that transforming power can help us to be like you. So Lord do your will in our lives this day in Jesus's precious name. Praise be His name.

Help us, Holy Lord, to surrender ourselves and our ways to You. Help us to trust in You. Yes, we know that we were set free at the Cross, at the time of our baptism, but help us in our struggle with that unholy and deceitful bastard, Satan, whose influence writhes and skirmishes with Your people yet.

We need You, who has overcome, to overcome. We need Jesus, by whose stripes we are healed, Jesus, who poured out His precious blood that we might live, Jesus who overcame the enemy in the desert.

Thank you AMEN Sunday 5th November Come Now Is The Time To Worship God Of Wonders 1 Corinthians 13 Holy Lord, when considering Your love, it is easy for us to place it in the terms and realms of men. Of our own understanding, of our own conditions, of a gregarious feeling of wellbeing. Yet You are a God of relationship, of reciprocation, of Creator and Created. In this comes the idea of responsibility, of action, of coalition. Your intention, in our creation, was one of mutual benefit. To our discredit, mankind began from the time of Adam, to take more than what was fair and right. You understand this, even to the point of conceiving a plan for us to return to You fully, as you fully know us. Help us, heavenly Father to be more like You, to fulfill all the things and behaviours that You know are best for both of us. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, to the glory of You in Heaven, Amen. Saturday 4th November Theme: Love of God God Is Love ​God Loves You John 11 v33:44 ​​ Dear Lord.

In Your plan for our salvation You release us from captivity, You breathe life within us, You cause the blind to see and the mute to speak. You are magnificent, sovereign, Lord of all. Today we beg release from the oppression and action of the demonic in our lives, help us see clearly where the activity of the Enemy's servants are affecting us and those around us and give us courage to speak boldly in Your precious name, to cast them out, down and away from us, that Your Holy Spirit flood in and Your Kingdom be further established.

In Your daughter Sarah, you not only blessed her with a child in her dotage, but You also forgave her of her sin in doubting Your power. It is written that You will place our sins far from us, as far as East is from the West, that You will remember them no more.

As we consider Your word, we see a picture forming of a God who is just, wise, loving, compassionate and kind. Our exploration in this life is an equipping for the next, more important life. It is also an opportunity to minister for You, to shine Your light into a place of darkness. Help us trust in You, Holy Lord. You are never late, You are never forgetful, You never slumber.

Today we offer our lives to you not in a sacrifice of atonement, but in a sacrifice of surrender, of a type of love that you first loved us with. We do not need to do it, yet we do it nonetheless, that Your Kingdom may be served through us, that others might see the value of Your sacrifice. Let eyes be opened to the magnitude of Your glory, the scale of Your plan, the measure of Your mercy. We ask this, not as a reward for works, but wholly and only in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. ​ Sunday 29th October Theme: Love of God The Power Of Your Love Our God Is Love Philippians 2 v1:8 Dear Lord, Thank you for your example of humility and love.

Today let us be mindful to lift up our brother and sisters in prayer. Help us, dear Lord, to be sensitive to the subtle cries of a heart in need. Help us, Lord, to clear our own hearts from burdens and distractions, that we might be an effective channel for Your goodness, grace, mercy and blessing.

Friday 27th October Theme: Women Of God Be Still My Soul ​I Give Myself Away Proverbs 31 v10:31 Studies here, here (scroll to the bottom) and here. Holy Lord and heavenly Father, here we see the template for the perfect woman. For God first, for her husband second and her family third. In all of this, and more, she becomes, herself, a figure of splendour, beauty and standing. In this modern age, Lord, the Enemy has painted a woman of headstrong independence, free from all responsibilities other than those that serve herself. Today, Lord, we lift up a prayer for Your daughters, for overcoming and awakening, for a return to virtue and rightness, in thought, deed and prayer. Without them, we are lost. You are the great emancipator and true redeemer, let the truth of this responsibility propagate throughout Your Kingdom, in Jesus's mighty name. https://youtube.com/watch?v=C6WexG9uAJI​ Thursday 26th October We Worship You Let The Name Of The Lord Be Praised Matthew 6 v27 Holy Lord, our Father in Heaven. Let us cast aside and down all of our anxieties and cares today, Lord. Whether in height or age, worrying is unproductive and detrimental to our walk with You, Lord. How can we doubt the Prince of Peace? The sower and author of our salvation? You have raised us from our old lives to a new one, You have given us a new heart, You will robe us in white and hand us the keys to the New Jerusalem. Awesome God! Worthy of all honour and praise! What can we do but lift our voices in testimony to Your goodness and greatness? Mighty God! Thank you for Your deliverance and grace.

Through the birth, life, death and resurrection of Your Son, Jesus, who is both Christ and Messiah, we have the opportunity to follow the narrow path to the true Promised Land, a place at Your table, a home in Your Holy City. Let us not be turned or disheartened. Where challenge comes, let us overcome in Your name. Where darkness comes or waters rise, let Your light and truth bouy us to victory. We will stumble, we will cry out, yet our praise, our anchor, our safe refuge in times of trouble will be in You, Holy Lord. Your Holy Spirit and teams of angels will gird us and surround us, You will whisper words of wisdom to shame the strong and unfetter the weak, You will set us free.

You are sovereign God in every situation we face, You are the Alpha and Omega, you always offer a way. We were once blind, deaf and dead creatures, existing just because life was made to exist, now, in You, through the promise of Your covenant through Your Son, Jesus Christ, we have the hope and redemption of the Cross to cling to, to stand upon, to boldly approach Your throne of grace from.

Let us meditate on your love and let it transform us.  Transform this heart of mine from fear to love.  And when I do sin, thank you that you have made a way back to you if I come with the right repentant heart.

We are only released by Your Son lest any man should boast. Reveal Yourself in our walk today Lord, that we may know You better and serve You better.

Where before You rode before Your people as a pillar of cloud and flame, now You dwell richly in our hearts, speaking to us directly, that we might know Your voice.

Teach us, guide us and lead us, Holy Lord, show off Your glory and craftsmanship in us, O Lord, fill these once broken jars with light so that we may tell the world of what You have done. King of Kings, Lord of Lords, You are rightly recognised by so few of Your people, break forth to release the captives, to lift scales from the eyes of the blind, to give new hearts.

Refresh Your servants in the fight, we pray. Amen. Monday 4th September I Just Want To Be Where You Are Days Of Elijah Peter 4 v11:19 Holy Lord God of Israel, there seems to be much confusion as to how best to follow You. Yet, in Your Son, Jesus Christ, we have a simple answer. To follow You or not. In these days of 'hypergrace' and 'prosperity' help us hold to the true Rock of Our Salvation, to walk in His ways, to encourage others to do the same, even if it proves unpopular with worldly people. Your truth is more important than the opinions of men, more enduring than passing and fleeting comforts or transports. Keep us from the subtle deception of the enemy, and bless us with the truth in all of its glory we pray, in the name of Jesus, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=G5lMNPxM1Ow ​ Sunday 3rd September Your Love Oh Lord Hosanna Today marks the start of a Christian outreach into the Indian community here in Hillsborough, Auckland, New Zealand, please add the work of the Holy Spirit to your prayers in this direction, may the glory of God's Good News open eyes, hearts and minds, may the power of the blood of Jesus Christ break bonds and set captives free, amen.

Lord help me to live a life deserving of you. I have fallen along the road but you have picked me up. I have turned around but you have found me. I am a new creation because of you, because of you and not because of any goodness of my own. So loving father, I thank you papa for saving and rescuing me.

You are our breath, our life, our everything. Holy Lord, You sent Your Spirit as the Comforter and Guide at the ascension of Your physical body to Heaven, the prophet's mantle sent down as a mark of authority and power, the shepherd's crook, the priest's ephod. You have driven Your people forward for two thousand years, Lord, help us come to the land promised once again, help us prepare and point the way for others to follow.

You have and have had a plan to restore us to be more than conquerors, princes and princesses, beloved sons and daughters, esteemed and valuable, walking in the ways set out for us through choice and surrender, in the like and type of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

Since the death and resurrection of Your Son, Jesus Christ, you have called all people to You, to sit at the foot of the throne of the One True King.

Today we pray for the clarity and preparation of Your message, whether transmitted or spoken, or shown in signs and wonders. There is none like you in Heaven or Earth, none that has a perfect plan for mankind's reconciliation, that offers a way to salvation and perfect peace.

Amen. ​ Tuesday 11th July Yield My Heart Praise You In This Storm Ezekiel 34 v25:31 Holy Lord of Israel, how we long to make our camp at the foot of Mount Zion. In our rebellion we paraded ourselves around Mount Sinai, rising and falling like stumbling, errant children. At the Mount of Olives You soothed the storm within us and laid the promises of a new way before us. You, yourself, climbed the hill at Golgotha to take our place under the cup of wrath. Now we once again walk in a dark and terrible land, beset by horrors and screams. The waters are bitter, many people are blind and dying. Help us, Lord of Hosts, make camp at the foot of Mount Zion, that we might be refreshed, that we might heal the sick and tend to the wounds of the needy.

Mighty God, shake us anew, open our eyes to Your blessings, light the fires of belief anew so that we may see clearly in a dark world.

Help us to rejoin the songs and stories of the Risen King, Jesus Christ! Help us unmask the false gods and their servants around us, to take our rightful place as servants of the light.

What a blessing, sweet child of Jerusalem, what a sacrifice! Thank you, heavenly Father, for bearing this burden, for accepting it. You are worthy of all praise. As redeemed children, let us turn our shoulders towards the light yoke and lift the light burden, to love You, to love each other and to disciple those around us. We do not need to be skilled teachers or cunning craftsmen, we need to trust in You, to show and share all that You have done through us and for us. Let us seek the opportunities, Lord, and seize them with the passion and ferocity that You seized the Cross. In the name of Jesus we pray, to the glory of Your coming Kingdom. Amen.  Monday 19th June Came To My Rescue Oceans 1 Corinthians 14 v20:25 Holy Lord God, you made the heavens and the earth, You spoke life into human beings, you formed the sun, the moon and the stars and placed them in their courses above. You know all and are in all, only through outrage, rejection or rebellion are things made separate from You. Who is like you in all the earth? Who can count their glory or worth against Your own? In the fruits that you have given for us to partake in are the gifts of prophecy and tongues. Let us speak boldly and genuinely, with a clear heart and a soul held fully open to You, King of Kings. Let the words that fall from our lips be the words of Your Holy Spirit. Let deep cry out to deep. We are broken vessels, Lord, made whole through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ. As such we are new creations, made whole by the power of His blood, through the pain of His suffering. Help us ring true to Your calling, to speak to others the Good News of our redemption. In Jesus's name we pray. Amen. ​ https://youtube.com/watch?v=X-m9sRRN9MA Sunday 18th June Theme: Names Of God Jehovah Shammah -> God Is There Study notes here, here and here. I Surrender Where You Go I Go Song Of Solomon 4 v11:16 O Holy Lord and Heavenly Father, how Your word echoes throughout time. You removed from Jerusalem at the time of the prophets because of the wickedness of your chosen people, You turned away from Your Son, that the veil may be torn and the way to return made for all who choose to follow. In dark days, with many paths to follow, it can be hard to make a way towards You. Holy Lord, help us hold on to the fact that You are there in the Heavenly temple, and always will be. You are truly a lamp to our feet, the guiding light that will return us home to Your presence one day. You are God Almighty. You have a plan for our salvation, we will trust in You alone. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, God of Israel, God of Noah.

Lord help us to share the love of God with others so that they might know of your great love. Thank you for first loving us. So let us so be inspired by the love of Christ to love others. In Jesus's name. Amen https://youtube.com/watch?v=0mBm_Fy0Dro Friday 16th June All To You I Surrender Sanctuary Ezekiel 47 v1:12 Holy Lord, I cry out. The world seems a dark place to me. I am overwhelmed. Through all of this You are continuing, unchanging, sovereign and good. Help me not give up, Lord. You are the one worth the journey, You are the one that won the victory. The traps, barbs and snares of the Enemy are just that, attempts to catch me based on myth and untruth. O, all conquering, risen King, feed me from the cup of Your overflowing love, let me rise again, never overcome, to step out as a like and type of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who did all these things that I might live in Your name, more than a conqueror and righteous in the eyes of the Most High God. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=zC617kE1maU ​ Thursday 15th June God Will Make A Way I Will Rise Ezra 7 v10:28 God, the Lord God, the God of Israel, the God of Jesus, without equal in Heaven or Earth, who put forth His hand to smite the Egyptians when parting the Red Sea, who broke the walls of Jericho, who burned up the people of Sodom, who overcame Rahab and Leviathan, You are merciful and slow to anger, You are worthy of all honour and praise. Today we lift a prayer of commitment. We will go where You call, Lord. We will say the words that You say. We will foresake all things to follow You, Lord God. Heavenly Father, speak to us and we will do it. Through the storms and through the heavy seas You will protect us, through the death of Your Son You have made us whole.

Help us to turn our faces towards You, to reach for You, to respond to You, that we might not only receive Your grace, but the fullness of Your grace. Help us seek opportunities to pour out Your love into the lives of others, great and small, to be likes and types of Your Son, Jesus Christ. His sacrifice changed everything, restoring what was lost. Though we have no right in our works or our doings, Lord, we claim what was lost in the name of Jesus and we pray to be effective ministers in the establishing of a Bride fit for His glorious return. Amen. ​ Tuesday 13th June You Hold Me Now ​ Our God Reigns Here Luke 16 v17:31 Holy Lord, it is important for us to recognise our influences. Today Lord, we cast out any spirits or authorities that are not of You, Lord God, the Most High God, the God of Isaac and the God of Abraham. We lay down our crowns at Your feet, at the foot of the Cross of Jesus Christ we bend our knee. You, Father God, Yahweh, El Roi, are the only God to have authority over us, to You, and you alone, do we submit ourselves fully. May the words we speak this day be Your words, may Your angels encompass about us, may Your Holy Spirit guide and protect. We pray that you cut and expose every bond not inkeeping with Your sacred intent be broken in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. O Lord!

Amen! https://youtube.com/watch?v=EtyVdC7E6Wo Monday 12th June Lord Of Patience Jesus Messiah 2 Kings 7 Holy Lord, it is well within Your power to provide for our every want. At any moment You could deliver us to times of plenty. But in doing so You know that many of us would fail to return to You, as Heavenly King. We would spoil ourselves and become prideful, vain and foolish. Thank you, Father God, for keeping us within the boundaries of Your great love, that we will not go hungry or thirst, that you provide for our needs and not our wants. Help us pray aright, to identify, ask and honour You in all situations, giving thanks and praise for the things that You give freely, in the glorious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

The Lord Reigns In Christ Alone Acts 4, Acts 5 Our Father in Heaven. To know You is to love You. There is no one, no thing with which to compare you, even in contrast there is nothing that can aspire to Your greatness. Yet You have a mind and a love and a special purpose for Your children. How marvellous and how wonderful is Your love for us. Help us walk each day, Lord, in honour and reflection of You. Let us ponder on Your mysteries, as all was laid bare in the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Let us seek fellowship and right relationships, let us walk boldly into the dens of lions and thankfully into the sanctuaries and places of rest. Above all, let us trust in You, O Most High God, and Your answer to the insanity of evil presented before us each day. You will overcome, You have overcome, You continue to overcome. No god, no person, no thing can stand against You, from the rats to the kings, they will worship Your name. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray.

You, in Your book, the Bible, and in your earthly ministry, set great store on names. It is clear that you pay attention to both meaning and intent. We celebrate and honour Your name, Yahweh, Yeshua, Jehovah God, King of Kings. Where lists and genealogies may be a hardship to the casual reader, or a stumbling block to the unbeliever, help us to read clearly and concisely, with passion. Your Word is living, vital and alive, through the gift of tongues we may speak out mysteries into the world that reveal Your true nature.

Until that day, help us yield not to the temptations and deceit of the Evil One, may we keep firm in our faith that the death and resurrection of Jesus, that planted the seed of Your Holy Spirit within each of us, is the key to the salvation and redemption for the whole world. May we see today that your angel encamps around us, that you are our place of refuge, a tower of strength, a rock to stand firm on and not to cling to.

Today, Lord, we ask you to shine your light into the darkest places in England, to those hearts and minds so far from you that they value atrocity over love. Words cannot express our heartache for what seems like senseless murder, but what to believers is an expression of a much deeper and more sinister passion. You will burn up the wicked come the day of your Son's return, Lord, we pray that Your Son's sacrifice can give meaning to the sons of Ishmael that are far from you. All creation cries out in pain, Lord, at the spilling of innocent blood. Let Your love, justice, peace and glory reign, in Jesus's mighty name. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=gMGQauWVwb8 Monday 5th June Hosanna Holy Is The Lamb Jeremiah 24 Today, Holy Lord, let us only lift a prayer of honour and thanks to You.

Since the death and resurrection of Your Son, Jesus Christ and since the outpouring of Your love at Pentecost, we have had Your Spirit to gift and to guide us in this dark world.

In your commandments you expressly bid us to have no other gods but You. Help us in our walk and way to recognise where other powers have influence over our lives. Help us look closely, ever closely, for the things that are displeasing or disrespectful to You. Where they are present, let us cast them out and down in the name of Your Son, Christ Jesus, who shed His precious blood that we might live. It is our joy to honour and serve You, King of Kings, let us not lift our songs or souls to another. Empower us, through the goodness of Your heart, to break these foreign gods into pieces and cast them out of our lives forever. Equip us to speak words of authority and power in the defence of others, innocent of their power, and in the defence of Your name against those who wield the authority of dark spirits and powers. In your ministry on earth, in the body of a carpenter's son, You waged warfare with and in the spirit realm as a matter of course, help us to understand Your ways, reasons and need for doing this.

How can we do anything else? You are worthy of all praise. As the captains of our own vessels, set free to sail by the sacrifice of Jesus, we gladly hand the helm to the King of Kings, who will steer and guide us through His Holy Spirit, who will not steer us to doom and failure, even though the seas can be rough, the journey seem far away from home, yet we will trust in the Lord, for He alone knows the far shore to which we want to travel, the peace that we would want to know, the joy everlasting towards which we set our sights.

Now I am as a worker in the field and I ask today that you guide me and enlighten me in the task that You have for me. I honestly pray for help as a child that is hungry prays for food.

They are not avowed to sacrifice themselves to you. Break the bonds of browbeaten servitude, the blood of Your Son has truly set them free. Jesus Christ is the author of emancipation for all women. You keep us and guide us, wherever and whenever we are far away You will come and search for us, calling us by name.

All others give fetters as reward for fealty. The freedom You give us is bought at an enormous cost, though, and in our new found freedom, complete and without clause, we humbly and joyfully surrender our freedom to You, King of Kings. We will be Your people, You will be our King. Our portion. Our deliverer. You truly are worthy of all praise, all worship, all devotion. Draw us ever closer to You, Lord, we pray, ever closer to the Cross, ever closer to a walk with You.

Let us honour his request, boldly approach the throne of our Redeemer and petition for miracles and healing in the name of our saviour, Jesus Christ. Hosanna In The Highest I Am Not Alone Matthew 7 v7:8 "I request all my precious friends, please pray for Nabeel Qureshi. He is a great man of God, a Muslim convert to Christianity, a great apologist. He is suffering from stage IV stomach cancer. I got an update that his chemo failed. But I believe that still God can heal him. Blood of Jesus is still effective. Pray for a miracle in brother Nabeel's life. Pray for God's intervention and his healing. Pray for his family as well, for his wife and daughter that they may get comfort in this critical situation. Ask God. If you feel you should pray, then pray. If you feel you should fast, then fast and ask God's healing in Nabeel's life. And please forward this to your Church members as well. Have a chain prayer if you wish or have a group prayer as a church. Share this post to your near and dear ones, your church group, your prayer group that they may also pray for Nabeel. #PrayForNabeelQureshi His faithfully servant in Christ... Pastor Vinay Kutiyal From India Thank you" Heavenly Father, you are our blessed assurance. We acknowledge Your authority, glory and majesty. During your ministry on earth as the incarnate Son, Jesus Christ, you healed the sick. Today we pray as a holy people, as a people set aside, as children called by and for Your mercy, for healing in the name of Jesus Christ. We know that You are capable, Mighty God. We know that You are able. You have counted the hairs of our head, the grains of sand. Stretch forth Your right arm and heal, we pray. Restore what has strayed from Your perfect plan and design. In cells, in limbs, in members. You are the giver of life, our eternal King. We trust in You. Through Your Holy Spirit, reach out and bless those family members, associates, carers and friends around brother Nabeel, may his testimony astonish and inspire, may every heartbeat point towards Your glorious self, to the benefit, establishment and promotion of Your Kingdom upon the Earth. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen. Thursday 25th May Ancient Of Days Praise Adonai 1 Chronicles 12 v18:22 ​ Today we lift our prayers to those who would step forth in armies to do battle. We pray for your clemency and guidance, Lord. We pray for Your Holy Spirit to guide and give conviction, that those convinced to lift their hands against children and innocents have the scales lifted from their eyes, that they become free to choose the right path, with all bondage and bounds of the Enemy removed. We pray for those whose buttered words twist the truth into a tale of bitterness and hatred, that they, even they, can be redeemed and renewed into the glorious truth of the Good News of Your Son, Jesus Christ. You are the Way, the Truth and the Life, you are worth fighting for, worthy of all honour and praise. As believers, we may not understand the hatred and scorn of others, but we trust in the Lord of the winnowing fire, He who will deliver and redeem His people.

You were before all things, you will be after all things. The text reminds us of the need for workers to be in the fields. We do not ask because we think that you cannot do without us, we ask in humility and lowliness of spirit, that you bless your people with utility and direction. Your ways are better than our ways, you see all where we see but little. Fill us with your grace and guidance, God of Jacob, that we can effectively minister, sow and reap in your fields, that Your Kingdom may come to the fullness of Your glory, that people in this dark world might lift their eyes to you, Lord of Hosts. You overcame Rahab and Leviathan, overcome the dark powers and potentates in our lives, please. In the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, we pray.

You will deliver your people. Though the night may be dark, or our bones be weary, we have the certain promise of Your glorious return, the prospect of walking the streets of the new Jerusalem. Let the tears pass and the joy of the morning come today, Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, to the glory of our Father in Heaven.

You caused the walls of Jericho to fall, the floods to rise, the enemies' armies to turn against each other. You are good, loving and kind to those that honour You, an ever present help in times of danger. Today we give thanks for Your majesty, Your awesome might and power. We pray the same into the lives of your children suffering around the world, into the persecuted, the starving, the abused, the maimed, the homeless. You are Lord of all.

Friday 19th May Your Presence Is Heaven To Me Set A Fire Revelation 4 v1:11 Heavenly Father, you are truly without equal. Your heavenly realm is fantastic to us, a place of wonder and blessing. There will be a day when all who believe, acknowledge and surrender to the authority of You, through Your Son Jesus Christ, will see the throne and discern your true glory. Take us to that day, Lord, when sufferings cease, where all pain is forgotten, where sickness is unknown. Whilst there is work for us to do here in Your Kingdom we will remain consistent and busy in your fields and name, yet we yearn for Your release, Lord, and give thanks and praise for the bounty that You have promised for your children. In Jesus's name we pray. Amen. Thursday 18th May Awake Awake O Zion Overcome Luke 14 v8:11 O Lord, overcoming in Your Name is never easy! Yet, by Your strength, we can run at a troop, we can jump over a wall. The harder we try, the more we fail. The more we believe and follow, the more we can do. Our relationship is not with other people, it is first with You, Most Holy Lord. Through Jesus and Your Holy Spirit, we have an opportunity to approach Your throne in this life. This is the gift of God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, the True God, the God of Jacob and the God of Abraham. Only through a right attitude and relationship with You, Father, can we have correct and loving and restorative relationships with others. You are God, Our Father.

You have shown us people who choose to ignore what is in front of them in order to believe and follow what they are told to believe and follow. Such as it was in the time of Noah. Such as it was in the time of Moses. Such as it was when You walked in the temple of Jerusalem and contested with the Pharisees. Thank you, Lord, for sharing this insight, though it makes us weep. You are worthy of all honour, praise, worship and recognition. Today we pray for those held in darkness. We read in your word that there will be good figs and bad, yet we long for a rich harvest, Lord, that You may be honoured more, that Your praises be lifted higher, Lord. As you were merciful to us, we also feel love towards our enemies and beg that mercy for others. We cannot do this by any works or strength of our own, Most Heavenly Father, but only through the grace, love, mercy and compassion that You have conferred upon us through the knowing of Your Son, Jesus Christ, in Spirit and Truth. Help us with words, help us with example, help us with truth, break the hard hearts of these 'Pharaohs' that they do not die in their own kingdoms and rather accept fully the bounty of Yours.

In our lives,in the lives of others, in the nations, in the earth. This whole world groans at the weight of its sin and subjugation, and the people of the Enemy devour the world and its precious resources without thought but for their own satisfaction. Help us walk as ones not part of this world but in it, Lord, that those others may know and see Your grace and glory in the last days.

Upon times, places, objects and people. As your children, we do not have the power in ourselves to achieve sanctification, we can only marvel at the One Who Saves, the one that sets us aside, apart. Thank you, heavenly Father, for such privilege and opportunity, help us walk in the way that pleases You most. Wherever there are things not of You in our lives, help us set them aside.

Today let us honour Your love, Your spectacular condition. Let us sing Your praises, let us declare You as King, let us share in the Good News of what Christ has done for each of us.

Help us to become discerning disciples of You, that we may rightly accept all of Your teaching, through Your Word and Holy Spirit. You give us each day our daily bread, help us to eat it properly and wholly, not devour choice parts and set aside others. In all things, Lord, help us to come up against the temptations of the Enemy with your grace, authority and power, to separate the wheat from the chaff, that we might present ourselves as acceptable bondservants to the Lord, our God. We know that it is through Your sacrifice that we are atoned and we thank you for ever interceding during our clumsy walk towards Your throne. All glory and honour to You, our Father in Heaven, You alone are worthy of all praise. Amen.

You are the true meat, Your value is without equal, Your wisdom more precious than rubies, the sacrifice on the Cross of value beyond measure. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for Your most excellent way, that we can know You, and be known by You. Help us see this day the things of true value, and to cast out and down any robes of Babylon that we might be stowing against an unforeseen future, not of Your making.

You are alive in Heaven, blessing us with arms wide open. Help us this day to lift the sword and shield you have given us, to wield them with prayers on our lips, to bring the Kingdom that you have promised ever closer.

Help us seek Your Kingdom first in all things. As your son, Jesus, did, so should we seek you in prayer and supplication in all things, from the greatest to the least. You are faithful, unswerving and you are alive within us. You will answer where there is need for answer. This is the amazing blessing poured out at Calvary, that in the death of the Saviour, new life can be released. Thank you Lord for Your perfection. Forgive us Lord for our weakness. In you we have hope and life abundant. Amen Wednesday 19th April The Lord Is My Shepherd Lord I Offer My Life To You Zephaniah 3 v8:18 Lord, the Lord of Israel and Isaac, hear our prayer.

Whether with loved ones, enemies, strangers or betrothed, let Your Holy Spirit fill our hearts and mouths with the right intentions and feelings, things that reflect Your goodness, mercy and lovingkindness. We are an afflicted generation, yet through correct relationships can the whole world be healed. First and foremost Lord, correct our relationship with You.

Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=NWeEYKqAdQ8  ​ Tuesday 18th April I Am A Friend Of God Our God Is An Awesome God Job 32 v4:14 Heavenly Father, the Enemy is our constant accuser, brandishing words that drip with honey as a lash. He knows our sinful nature, as he was the sire of it. In his rebellion against You, mighty God, he cares not how many roses he tramples upon. Even amongst the saints, his barbs give pain. In Your son though, Jesus, in his life, sacrifice and words, Satan was completely overcome. The victory was won. Now he is set aside, reserved for the final judgement. His words and barbs have no authority, he has become as the toothless lion. In this day we pray for courage to rebuke and knock back this prideful angel. For a time, let his words diminish and Your goodness and light shine through. We trust You, Lord, that all things are in a time where Your perfect will will be realised fully, that there is a future where the Accuser and sin are no more. Help us Lord, this day raise a smile towards him, that he will know that these roses are covered in thorns for feet such as his. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray.

For Your mission, for the effectiveness of Your angels, in the tearing down of strongholds, in the softening of hard hearts, in the breaking of chains and bonds. Wherever Your Spirit is, our prayers as humbled servants go also. You do not need support, Holy Lord, for the things that will be done will be done by the power of Your will alone, yet still we pray in thanks, in surety, in celebration, in love, in support of You, for you alone are worthy of all praise. Holy is the Lamb! Worthy is the Lamb! We lift our hands and prayer in supplication to You. Amen. Amen. Hosanna and amen. Sunday 16th April Just to prove how much of a dunderhead the site administrator is, he didn't even fully realise the words 'Christ' and 'Messiah' were interchangeable until studying for this contribution. You can read as he read here. http://ourrabbijesus.com/articles/what-does-the-word-christ-actually-mean/ . It truly is a special day, so a double portion of everything we do, excepting that the first prayer is one I share for you. Holy Lord, precious is your name to your people. We can never use just words to ascribe you fully, you will always be more. When we see you face to face we will know and at that point words will have no use to us. Today, Lord, I share a prayer for your children who read this, who have supported this ministry in their hearts and prayers. I pray that you continue to minister and reach into their lives, that even in areas where they see, You continue to reveal more of yourself. You truly are mighty, God, you truly are the Father of Worlds, Creator of Heaven and Earth. Bless your children, King of Kings. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, in my brokeness and stupidity, and thank you most wholeheartedly that where I am weak, You find strength. Amen.

As our eyes open on our journey with You, help us give full honour to Your authority, in our lives, in our interpretation. Your title and position is eternal, from everlasting to everlasting, it is an amazing honour to know you, to even walk in the same garden as you, yet such is Your precious love and humility. Thank you for being you, all praises and honour to you, Jesus Messiah, Jesus the Christ, the truly anointed one of Israel, the everlasting King of Heaven. Amen. King Of Kings, Lord of Lords We've Come To Bless Your Name Saturday 15th April Theme: Lent: Easter King Of Kings, Majesty  And Can It Be Luke 23 v33:56 Dear Lord, As I reflect on your suffering at Easter I praise you O Lord for what you did for me to free me from sin. For you was lonely, sorrowful, troubled, tempted, anguished, seized, disowned, betrayed, bound, falsely accused, rejected, sneered, mocked, beaten, spat at, slapped, struck, rejected, scourged to name but some of them. For me dear Lord. So we thank you Lord that through your sacrifice and your life working in us we can find freedom, healing, peace and your changing love as adopted children.

Yet, in the knowledge of You, we have the certainty of a life less ordinary, as a royal priesthood, a divine family, a purposeful and purposed people. Elegant, graceful, loving, magnificent. You truly cast us in your image, Lord, and great are the works of Your hands. Help us this day to hold on to the promise of You, the gift of Your Son, the Light of the World. You tell us in Your word that we will stand in the evil day, let us, as Paul did, hold on to and embrace our brothers our sisters in Christ in these days of darkness, that we take faith from each other as prisoners of Christ, captivated by His majesty and goodness, mere reflections of Your heavenly beauty, yet again a royal priesthood, the children of the Most High God. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=FBJJJkiRukY Thursday 13th April Deuteronomy 6 v1:19 Our Father in Heaven, whose very name is holy and personal, today we pray for the coming of Your Kingdom. What an amazing spectacle! How blessed are we, as Your children, to even contemplate the splendour of a regained Earth, a complete transformation, with the old giving away completely to the new, an unimaginably better place. As we come close, even in our fallen state, we know for certain that You, and You alone, are capable of such works and splendour. You offer each of us the opportunity to be partakers, to have a seat at your table. Help us, Holy Lord, to grasp the fullness of this undertaking, to accept Your direction wholly within our hearts and minds. Let us be transformed into the new. Lead, guide, teach, rebuke and build us, Heavenly Father, with Your mercy, love, grace and compassion, with the patience of one who loves beyond all other love, until Your Kingdom come. Amen. The Steadfast Love Of The Lord Never Ceases Everyday https://youtube.com/watch?v=cKLQ1td3MbE ​ Wednesday 12th April Never Gonna Stop Singing ​ Arise Matthew 18 v10:14 O Holy Lord! Who are we that you are mindful of us? That you would search for us, know each of us by name, that You would reach down from Heaven into the depths of this cast down wilderness to seek us, to rescue us, to redeem us? Your compassion knows no bounds, Your mercy fills the sky, Your love fills our hearts. Your Son wept for Jerusalem and the children of Israel, yet You, Holy Lord know the end of the story, that through the trial, tribulation and shadow of the Valley of Death, your people will emerge victorious. Breathe again in your children Holy Lord, speak life through the mouths of Your servants, heal a sick world in the power of Your name. You are Mighty God. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=NmAQpWu8WNE ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=F0M0NALW7EM Tuesday 11th April Here In Your Presence ​ All Who Are Thirsty Jude 1 v14:25 You are Sovereign God. You rule over the Heavens and the Earth. One day, every knee will bow, every tongue will confess You as Lord. From the beginning of times this was known, and powers and people go their own way only as you permit it to be so. We are thirsty for You, Holy God, for Your Son to come, for Your justice to be done, for the darkness to be exposed to the light and burned away. As that day approaches and is not yet here, help us surrender to Your infinite wisdom, as Your ways are better than our ways. The greatest of man's wisdom is less than the least of Yours. Let your wisdom rain down, through the guidance and intercession of Your Holy Spirit, that we might declutter our lives and reach out effectively for Your Kingdom into the lives of others. Keep us straight and true, Heavenly Father, God My Banner, that we might lift songs in Your Heavenly temple in worship, honour and praise to God Our King, in the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=9hT4jKDiGdY https://youtube.com/watch?v=jdE03zRJtxw Monday 10th April We Wait For You Onward Christian Soldiers (Lyrics in the notes accompanying the Youtube video, click 'Show More' below the video screen) Deuteronomy 3 v21:28 Holy Lord, who causes the stars to shine and the birds to sing, how careful must we be to remain in the glory of your steadfast love. Although your love and forgiveness are so freely available, through the life, death and resurrection of Your son, Jesus Christ, we must still learn to walk in faith and to surrender ourselves fully to you to claim our crown beyond the spiritual Jordan. Help us this day in our walk and way, Heavenly Father, rebuke us in our failings, convict us of our sin, chide us in our misdemeanours, that we might correct our stance, repent our brokeness and return our attitude to Yours. In the words of the poem, recited by William Booth, let us not lean on crutches of unrighteousness. You are Holy Lord, Sovereign God, Mighty King of Heaven and Earth, there is no shadow of turning in you. We look to your written word, living example and indwelling Spirit to guide us, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Sunday 9th April Theme: Names of God Jehovah Jireh -> God My Provider What If I Gave Everything? All To Jesus I Surrender Genesis 22 v10:14 Heavenly Father, in truth You provide for us from life's first breath. You are from everlasting to everlasting, all creation is in your hands and at your feet. Yet Lord, as a good God, as a generous God, as a merciful God, You provide for us a portion. You give it all to us, should we choose to accept it. Not according to our standing in society or monetary wealth, but according to our faith. Abraham was prepared to travel far and offer the best of what he had, so it should be with us. In truth, you showed that You will never ask of us more than you are prepared to give, that you would, will and have paid the highest price to ransom us from death. Today, O magnificent and holy God, help us give of what we have to You. Unlike Abraham, we have already received Your precious gifts yet, as we trust in You more and give over ourselves in favour of You more, you will help us to open these gifts and to reveal Your glory through them, to become fruitful as long as we remain in Your name, Jehovah Jireh, and not our own. Amen. ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=kV5iZBTNYrk Saturday 8th April Theme: Lent: The Cross At The Cross At The Cross The Cross Matthew 27 v45:54 Dear Lord. As you journeyed to the cross you had such an onslaught of physical, emotional, spiritual and mental abuse yet you did not turn around but remained firm. In such a situation we can only gasp and realise in part what you went through. We personalise it and say for me. Truly you are the model for my life, my saviour, my sacrifice, my king. To you alone we can look up to because there is no one else like you. And so may this sacrifice change me each day to be like you in word and deed although still a long way off perfection. Let me live for you Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Amen. ​ Friday 7th April Sing To Jesus I Will Worship You Daniel 6 v23:28 O Lord of All Creation, who is like You in Heaven or Earth? In this life we will have trials and tribulations, but also we can expect truly great provision in your majesty and compassion. Help us to see clearly where you are working in our lives today, that we may offer thanks and praise to you for the wonders of your hands.

Please spread this urgent call for prayer. The ruling Hindu government, the BJP, has begun a programme of anti-Christian activity that is largely unreported in the West. " Kindly prayer for Uttar Pradesh  (UP) and Uttarkhand, North  India. From When BJP  government  came for ruled North India so from after the have been persecuting all Christians because Christian peoples doesn't objection but Christian want to love. Therefore BJP  followers first target to persecute Christians and also churches. Not Muslims because if BJP people persecute Muslims  so Muslims peoples always ready for fight because  they're strong in Muslims generation.  Now in North India BJP government has totally stoped 10 churches and 15 organisation and also still doing work upon Christian churches. And also BJP government followers  people everywhere walking around every place & village to villages for watching and they are walking with own Hindus banner and with flags and putting everywhere.  Yesterday  one BJP leader came for visit me at my home he given me last warnings to stop evangelism work and also our church fellowship. He said if you'll not stop this so we'll definitely send you in the jail. So before they go from my home they puted one Hindus  banner and flag on my home roof.  So now India  churches  can't share and organise gospel meeting with freedom because they thinks this is American God. They say India call to in Hindi language HINDUSTAN so therefore they want whole India peoples should be believe in Hindu religions because his religion name came from HINDUSTAN  HINDU-STAN  meaning is in English-  Hindu means religion STAN means place..  So place of Hindu.

Give us those words to say that will glorify the Father, fill us with Your salt and light. King of Heaven, reign in us and through us, we pray, not for us but for Him, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=DXDGE_lRI0E ​ Saturday 25th February Jesus Messiah Father's Heart Song Of Solomon 6 ​ Heavenly Father, expressing Your love for your Son is like trying to ascribe all the oceans of the world with a teacup. It is simply beyond our ability to speak. Your transcendent love is fierce, passionate, gentle, kind, covering all things. For His sacrifice and perfect life, we understand the love for a firstborn son. As your children also, we are amazed that the same love covers us, goes before us, goes out with us, is within us. As undeserving as we are, yet you have loved us, do love us, will love us. You have and will and do lift us higher than the mountains and the valleys, out of the deepest seas and darkest dungeons. O King of Grace, to know you is rapture, to walk with you is breathless anticipation and joy, to sit and eat at the table you have set a humbling reminder of Your precious gift to us. You are abundant and overflowing, may You ever be, our love and King. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=cWiIuA-klL4  Friday 24th February Beautiful Saviour Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) Matthew 26 v36:56 Dear Lord, As we look to Lent and Easter we see your love and grace in action. Your spirit is moving over the earth in the abundance of your love seeking after all mankind and offering your love and grace. O Lord in this passage we see how at this time the disciples couldn't stay awake. All have fallen short. Yet your grace was sufficient. You knew your will, purpose and destiny amongst those coming to arrest you and made my life in heaven possible. Lord thank you for saving me. O man who has fallen short yet saved by the Lord's hand. Blessed be your name. Wonderful Saviour. Amen. Thursday 23rd February The House Of The Lord Sing, Sing, Sing 2 Corinthians 5 v6:17 Our Father in Heaven, how quickly the passion we have for You can be doused and dimmed by the foul waters of the Enemy. But you see our hearts, Lord, and, as we are for you, reignite the fires of our love for you with shouts of joy and exclamations of praise, thanks, honour and worship. You are a joy to behold and mighty in presence and power, may that be manifest and apparent in each of your children, through Your Holy Spirit, that your Kingdom Authority might be established here on earth. May Your words fill our mouths and your desires fill our hearts, King Jesus, that we might express the love and affection that You have shown for us to others. You reign in justice, mercy and compassion, King of Heaven, forever. May we see rightly Your intention, purity and design for our relationships, as it has been a target of the Enemy since the beginning of time to break our relationship with you, Holy Lord, God of Mercy, Grace and Compassion, God of Israel, Mighty Jehovah, may his machinations amount to nothing in our lives.

Help us to remain even tempered, let Your Holy Spirit guide us in such circumstances. Above all, let your Word be on our lips as Your way is the only true way, You have set a safeguard in your Word and Spirit that is to guide and protect. May we build up not knock down, bless and not curse, love and not rebuke. We were all once broken vessels, and it is our hope in this life to be made whole, complete in the sight of You, our Heavenly Father. Amen. ​ Tuesday 21st February Your Love Oh Lord Hosanna Genesis 1 O Lord, what a blessing it is not to have to worry about how the world was formed, what our purpose is for our lives, where we are going. You are in control. By surrendering all to you, You answer all questions in Your Word, through your Living Word and through the Cross. We are truly unburdened and unfettered by your grace and love, let us take Your yoke gladly and not brush too heavily against it. Lead us Lord into Your eternity. Amen.

Our hope is to be one of Your children, that choose as the Centurion, the blind beggar or the suffering leper to turn our ears and minds towards You, bright morning star. This world is the miry clay, You lift us and make us sure footed on the Rock. As you bless us, Lord, let us turn to bless others, this way Your Kingdom can come on this earth.

Your ways are perfect. Today we pray for discernment. Let your children who pray and worship you see clearly, Lord of Hosts, that we might see the agents of darkness and the agents of light in our lives, just like Elijah's servant and the army of Aram. Seeing clearly will help us choose the right path to You, Lord Jesus, to walk rightly and uprightly as a like and type of You, to seek Your face. In doing this, in this dark and fallen world, in this dark and fallen time, we pray that we may lead others to You, to be guided and in turn to guide. You are the Light of our Salvation, You draw us ever closer to You. Amen. ​ ​This prayer repeated from 8th Feb Wednesday 15th February My Heart Is Overwhelmed Jesus, Lover Of My Soul Job 11 v7:20 Holy Lord, How smooth the words that deceive and kill. How they drip with fake sweetness and allure. In your Son, Jesus Christ we have acceptance as impure, broken and unclean. In your eyes, sight and tender mercy we are made anew. Our attempt to walk as Jesus walked in this fallen world is in honour of His sacrifice, in honour to You, King of Kings. Whilst we will fail, that even the best of our works will be as filthy rags, may our endeavours please You, Lord, that in this disease filled, pestilent world we make Our stand for the true King of Heaven, that His Kingdom may be manifest within us, a light for all to see, a guide for the other broken vessels in the darkness.

We thank you for the many gifts that you have already lavished upon us, yet this world waxes towards the days of Noah, and Your children are hungry and thirsty in this wilderness. Your blessings, Lord, lift hearts, minds and eyes towards Heaven as water in a dry place. Your children will give thanks and praise, share testimony and point to the goodness and salvation of Jesus Christ with nothing, Holy Lord, because in Your mercy you have already given us the greatest gift, yet in these contested days Your continued goodness is a clear marker for Your everlasting and continuing justice and mercy. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=j4taAN4QtbI Sunday 12th February Holding Nothing Back Thank You For The Cross Lord Judges 9 v6:20 Holy Lord, You are just, You are righteous. Lead us in your ways, Heavenly Father, that we might rightly look at ourselves, then rightly in turn set an example for others to follow. As the likes and types of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who died and rose again to fulfil what was written and to set both Jewish and Gentile captives free, we are to walk spotless and without blame. This is a difficult task in this fallen world, yet You are with us, and as we remain true to You, You will remain true to us. Lead on, Lord, Your rod and staff are a comfort to us, Your ways so much better than our own, Your promise of Heaven so much more than we deserve. Amen and Hallelujah!

Thank you for your sacrifice, thank you for your sanctification. This day, and each day, help us walk in the manner most pleasing to you, in the type and fashion that you saw potentially within us. We are no longer slaves to this world, no longer required to serve under the law, our obedience is freely given because You are worth it, worthy of it and deserving of it. Hail, King Jesus, we look forward to Your glorious return, whether we rise up from death or from this life, You will give us new life, an eternity walking with you, praising you, saved by You.

Yours is the name, glory, power and authority. You won the victory on the Cross at Calvary. If we did not worship you the stones would cry out. Yet, in Your victory you conferred on your children a great honour, the opportunity to walk as likes and types of Christ. Help us to lift our heads into the new day, Lord, to overcome, to reach out, to love, laugh and to mourn, whilst we remain in this realm, to do the work of our hands, to the glory of You, Lord, in Heaven.

It is right to give you thanks and praise. Bless you Lord. Amen.  You Raise Me Up ​ Friday 3rd February All I Once Held Dear I Believe Romans 4 v4:8 Lord Jesus, in Your sacrifice a new covenant was laid down, an open offer to all mankind. To believe in you was forgiveness for all sins, to have faith in you was to walk in righteousness. Our works do not justify us, however, as we walk more towards and in the life You have led us to, beside the still waters and in the green pastures, the works of our hands and the words of our mouths will be evidence to all of all You have done, are doing and will continue to do in each of us. Today we pray for insight and guidance from Your Holy Spirit, for discernment into the areas of our lives where we shoulder unnecessary burdens. We pray for our brothers and sisters to have the strength to lay such burdens aside in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=B_wB-RDmaEE ​ Thursday 2nd February Great And Mighty Is The Lord Our God You Make Me Brave Psalms 18 v27:36 Our Father in Heaven, you have committed us to the fight.

Cover us anew, we pray, in that same precious blood, anoint your servants with righteousness and truth, strengthen our bones, quicken our hearts and minds. Let Your Holy Spirit guide us in the fight, where choice words and compassionate action are subtle and powerful weapons, grace and mercy the hallmark of Your Son's presence within us. As we were forgiven, may we yet forgive, but where You, Lord of Heaven, are contested make us brave, ferocious and passionate, indomitable and dauntless in the name of Jesus. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=xi0yLRX4d2M Wednesday 1st February I Believe I Will Worship Daniel 6 v16:24 Holy God, you are the true King of Heaven and Earth, you formed the worlds, You overcame Rahab and Leviathan. You have strength enough and more to overcome our enemies, but help us, we pray, to keep the contrite heart and make the sacrifice of petition and prayer to keep our attitude towards You the correct one. We are nothing without You, God of Israel, we are redeemed through the precious blood of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Today we surrender the sins of our hearts to the foot of the Cross, and take up the mantle and robe of righteousness in full expectation of the miracles of your delivery, as we claim and wield the birthright set down for Him but conferred to us. We do this that we might partake in winning the Kingdom for You, Holy Lord, by professing and protecting our belief in the resurrection of Your Son, Christ Jesus, and the part it has played in the blessing and renewing of our undeserving lives. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=EtyVdC7E6Wo Tuesday 31st January Simple Gospel Heart Of Worship Mark 9 v23:24 Dear Jesus, your message is a simple one. Elegant yet powerful, Your grace, love, forgiveness, compassion and sacrifice like nothing that was ever done or will ever be done, on earth. Impossible in its magnitude yet possible in its effectiveness. In us total surrender, yet total victory. You help us overcome, you pick us up when we fall, it is to you we look to first in all things. Help us keep this simple tenet and practice today, Lord, to seek Your face and grace, to act according to Your will, to be examples and types of you, beloved brother, Saviour, friend.

Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=idQ1n3cdgfo Monday 30th January I Love You Lord ​ Great Is Thy Faithfulness Ezra 2 v68:70 Holy Lord, for all your goodness, help us give according to our ability, to sew rightly and wisely from what you have given us. The riches and wealth of this world are meaningless without You, Heavenly Father, let us invest wisely and generously towards Your glory, with a glad heart and an outstretched arm. It is all too easy to walk past those that really need help, keep our eyes attentive to Your will and heart, to see as Jesus saw. Amen.

All glory, honour and praise is due to You, Holy Lord for this act of compassion, tenderness, love, mercy and grace alone.

In times of controversy, let us stay our hand and our tongue, as You alone are intercessor at the right hand of the throne. You are our defender and strong tower. Be patient with us, loving Father, if we are slow to take up Your stance in argument. Yet You are loving AND just. If you need us to speak, Lord, encourage us. If it would benefit your Kingdom, bring you glory or deliver the just from the unjust then be our mouths and our actions, Holy Lord, take hold of us completely that Your name and way may be known. In Jesus's name we pray this, amen. Thursday 26th January Shout To The Lord 10,000 Reasons Psalm 18 v20:35 Holy Lord, you are indeed our Rock and our Salvation.

Help your children to walk as Jesus would have walked. In Your Holy Spirit advise us in our relations and interactions, make us mindful to seek you first, Wise Counsellor in all matters, great and small.

All Your works and all glory to You, Yaweh, Jehovah, King of Israel. Amen. ​ Wednesday 25th January Who Am I Rising John 19 v1:15 Holy God, you were scourged and pierced for our transgressions. You were betrayed by your own people. Given up and led to die on a cross. Yet as you were led you had a mind for your people. As you died you had our best interest at heart. You fulfilled all the promises of scripture, all the requirements of the Law. You humbled yourself that the least of those who would turn their ear to you might live. Amazing King! That you would suffer and endure the most painful of deaths to carry away our sins, our sickness, our shame AND our deserved punishment for the same. For the pain of your physical torture was as nothing compared to the injury to the Spirit of God Himself. Who is like You, Lord God? How you have forgiven us, honoured us, blessed us! Thank you Jesus, let our walk honour You today. Let your will and Kingdom be established through even our clumsy actions. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=43-eWj3h_LM Tuesday 24th January Be Thou My Vision ​ Sing Sing Sing Matthew 4 v10:11 Lord God Of Israel, today we give thanks for your angels.

For grace sufficient to be victorious in Your name for another day, in the name of Jesus Christ who saved us. Amen. ​ Sunday 22nd January Father's Heart ​ ​Days Of Elijah 1 Kings 18 v30:39 O Lord God! If we did not worship you the stones would cry out. This world groans under duress, your children ache to know You, Your shepherds look to you as a sailor for a favourable wind. Noone knows the hour of Your Son's miraculous and glorious return, yet we know it will be accompanied by signs and wonders. Light the fires amongst Your people as the watchfires of an approaching dawn, we pray. Pour out your blessings that the aches and pains can be seen and felt as the birthpangs of a new beginning.

When I look at my failings Lord have mercy. Lord by your Holy Spirit help me to put my life wholly into your hands. Lord when temptation comes help me to say no in the first 2 seconds. Let my mind not dwell on sin but let me immediately think of you. Transform my mind to be always thinking of you for there is a way only in you. Lord may your Holy Spirit bubble in my heart to let your life take control. When we are in your stream there is less of us, more of you. Lord, be Lord. Amen. Friday 20th January The Lord Reigneth Jesus, Lover Of My Soul Genesis 4 v6:9 Holy Lord God, great is Your faithfulness to your children, great is your patience and mercy. We were given to sin by our father Adam, and lifted from it by Your Son, Jesus Christ. Yet we still live in a world that is polluted, we still live a life that is corrupt. Today we seek to identify our sin and repent of it, to become more like the Christ in our walk and our way. Help us through Your Holy Spirit, Lord, to foster and nurture the gifts that we were once so removed from, that we might seek you, lift you and glorify Your name forever. Amen. ​ Thursday 19th January We Want To See Jesus Lifted High Draw Me Close To You Ephesians 1 v3:12 Jesus Christ, you loved me enough to die for me. To take upon yourself all the sins that I ever committed, or will ever commit. To accept the punishment that I so readily deserve. Now You sit at the right hand of the Father, interceding for me, my benefit, out of love, mercy, grace and compassion. Help me, Lord, I pray, through your Holy Spirit, angels and other emissaries of light, to walk a walk that is faithful to You, that lifts up Your name, that leaves my old life behind in full acceptance and submission to the one You bought for me.

You won the victory with your lifeblood, yet gave all of the victory to your children. Undeserved and broken as we were, You have made us new creations, capable of winning victories in Your name, Jesus, of standing in the authority and refuge of the Father.

Amen. ​ Sunday 15th January Lord I Offer My Life To You Pass Me Not O Gentle Saviour Titus 2,3 Holy Lord, Everlasting Saviour, great are the storms of contention that rage around us. The Enemy truly roars like a lion, seeking to devour every wayward soul. In your truth, Jesus, we have the example to follow in rejecting and rebuking him. As terryfying as his roars are, he was silenced in the desert of Your temptation, defeated at the Cross of Calvary and is now reserved for total destruction at the glorious coming of Your return. Help us, sweet Jesus, to lift our heads in defiance of this filthy deceiver, to raise our voices in clear condemnation of his wants and ways. Your way, Your truth and Your life are forever better. All thanks, glory and honour to You, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, we lay every crown and treasure at the foot of the Cross, to the honour and glory of Jesus Christ, Amen Saturday 14th January Fruit of the Spirit Theme: Gentleness O Lord, Your Tenderness ​Lord Of All Hopefulness Matthew 11 v29 Philippians 4 v5 2 Timothy 2 v24-26 Dear Lord, As I reflect on the fruit of the Holy Spirit come to me and make me more like you.

You poured out the blood and life of Your Son, perfect and blameless, that we might be saved. You lifted us up when we wholly deserved to be put down. Who is like you in all the Heavens? Has any god or spirit of this age offered themselves for their worshippers? You are the true King of Heaven, all honour, worship, fealty and praise is due to You, God of Jacob, God of Isaac. You are matchless in wealth, strength and power. You are matchless in compassion, mercy, grace and love. You love the least and most broken child with the love of a Father for his only begotten son. Amazing Lord, thank you for your tender mercy, your lovingkindness, your blessing. Help us today to shine as the examples, likes and types of Your Son, Jesus Christ, the Saviour born of humble birth, who lived, died and rose again that we might have Salvation. You are all we need. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=voW1VfybF14 Wednesday 11th January We're Marching To Zion In The Secret 1 John 3 v1:9 Abba, Father, all Heaven declares Your righteousness. As the Son, You took all the sins of man upon yourself, You drank fully from the cup of wrath set aside for mankind's transgressions. Our transgressions. Help us to steer our lives towards ones of blameless example, as Jesus led. Help us to choose wisely in times of temptation, to act rightly in times of feast or famine. Your Son died that we might share the life eternal, help us, Holy Lord, not to squander such a gift on the things of this life. We need You, Your word, Your example, Your guidance. Only through Your strength will we be delivered, lift us once again to the right path we pray. Help us develop the faith and trust in You. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=PMbop2q66xo Tuesday 10th January Holy Spirit Rain Down Who Is Like You Lord In All The Earth? ​ Nehemiah 9 v6:15 Holy Lord, you are the God of Jacob, the God of Israel, the God of Joshua, the God of Isaac, the God of Daniel. You have carried and delivered your peculiar people since the time of antiquity. In your Son, Jesus Christ, you opened the door of your blessing. Thank you for all that you do today. We love you. Amen. Monday 9th January Here I Am To Worship Holy Spirit John 13 v21:30 Holy Spirit, you discern in perfect truth the things that are right and wrong in this world. You are ever present here, sent by the Father to guide and to advise. Today we pray in the name of Jesus for the truth to be revealed in our lives, for the way to be made clear. Where we are practising falsehood, may it be exposed, that we may lay down our wickedness at the Cross. Where we are decieved may your light and truth shine, that the Enemy and his servants be exposed clearly, that we might turn, like Joseph, from Potiphar's wife, leaving behind the material things in faith of a better direction and eventuality through a clearer walk with You. You are the lifeblood that remains, connecting us to the Divine, the essence of our Father God in this fallen realm. Fill us, work in us we pray, cast out all that is dark and unecessary, that we might serve our Father more and bring His Kingdom more fully. Amen. Sunday 8th January Praise My Soul The King Of Heaven Be Thou My Vision Romans 8 v16:25 Study Dear Lord, we give thanks for Your tender love and affection, we give thanks for the firm hand that guides us, we give thanks though we endure things we do not understand. Today we pray for those that are suffering right now in this world. As we read the promise that You have made for your children, that there is a place prepared for them in Heaven, it is a guiding light, as a lamp to our feet. Reach out, we pray, humbled and undeserving as we are, that those less fortunate than ourselves may know Your presence and surcease from their struggle. Renew their strength, refresh their understanding. You are mighty above all the Earth, Lord of Hosts, reveal your glory to Your children, Father, that they may carry another day in Your glorious name. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=2bV8fXI5MWk Saturday 7th January Fruit of the spirit Theme: Faithfulness Great Is Thy Faithfulness You Are Faithful Psalm 37 v28 Proverbs 16 v6:7 Proverbs 28 v20a Dear Lord, As you have been Faithful to us so let us be, by our will and through your spirit, Faithful to you. Your love has shown us how Faithful you have been, Through creation, Through family, Through church brother and sisters, Through provision. Through the Father, Through the Son, Through the Holy Spirit. Maybe some of the stones are shattered but you provide a way, a hope, a life. Perhaps not always well but peace to grasp and make a way through our darkest moments. We don't understand but thank you dear Lord for your Faithfulness to us. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=OULQnTzd2TI Friday 6th January After receiving blessing and prayer from a fellow believer, I have been impressed to share the same with all of you. This means that the context of today's prayer is slightly different, as it is a prayer said for you, rather than by you. Recite it and accept its blessing, recite it as a prayer for others. All glory to God. I Need You More Come Alive (Dry Bones) Ezekiel 37 v4:5 ​As I lay my prayers in the presence of my Lord, I ask God to lift you up in your situation close to His throne and glory. May He cover your steps and your thoughts. I pray that brother God will use your every broken and mended piece for His glory. May you be led by the hand towards His will for you. I pray that your relationship with your loved ones would be molded for His glory. As you lay your desires at His feet, may His will be your delight and good pleasure. I pray for restoration of everything that the devil has stolen from you. May His name be your stronghold and unmoving rock all the days of your life. In Jesus Christ's Holy and precious name. Amen. ​ Thursday 5th January ​The Lord Reigns Forever God Is Faithful ​ Psalm 90 v2 Psalm 103 v17 Psalm 106 v48 Isaiah 51 v11 Matthew 19 v29 Open The Eyes Of My Heart Lord Holy Lord of Israel, Creator of Heaven and Earth, Lion of Judah, great are you, O King. How can we express your majesty, when forever is at your feet? You are above all things. Yet, in sending your Son, Jesus Christ, to live amongst us, to walk as we walk, you made yourself less than us, a sacrificial lamb carrying the burden of a fallen world. Thank you for all you have done, Lord, and help us through your Holy Spirit to put one foot in front of the other in our walk with you today, to maintain a straight path, to lead others to your glory. For in so much that we have died with you, you have given forever over to us to praise your Holy Name. Amen. Wednesday 4th January We Wait For You Jesus Messiah Revelation 14 v14:16 Our Father in Heaven, whose name is above all other names, great are you in all the Earth. Today we pray as believers who hunger and thirst for more of You. To know you, to hear you, to walk with you. May your Holy Spirit manifest within each of us until your coming, may we adventure to put aside the things of this life in exchange for the things of the next. You truly have turned our tears to joy, our sadness into dancing, our clothes of sackcloth into robes of white, as only You can. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=0xwzItqYmII Tuesday 3rd January I Am A Friend Of God You Are Good Genesis 1 v24:31 Our Father in Heaven, how marvellous the works of your hands. You fashioned us out of the dust, directly and indirectly, you caused us to be complete. It was rash of us to cast away our privelege, let us not be foolish when it comes to taking up the mantle you have offered us. To worship you in full knowledge of your identity, to open our eyes to the gift you gave for us, to begin reaching out in truth and love towards those around us, that is an abundant table set before us. We look forward and will relish each step with You this year, Lord, may all of creation know the Good News and the wonder of your works we pray. In the name of Jesus Christ we lift our hands, Amen. Monday 2nd January Blessed Assurance The River Is Here 1 Thessalonians 3 v8:13 Holy Lord, we stand as guardians in the gaps in the walls of the New Jerusalem. Broken vessels as we are, it is for each of us to lay a hand upon the shoulder of a brother or sister that they might stand in their hour of testing. We have the surety of your Holy Spirit as companion in the time before Your second coming, yet You exhort us to support, nurture and love our fellow human beings in order to build Your church, Your temple, Your people. You are amazing, our God and Father, you find girding work for the weakest hands. In the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, we pray for strength, courage and countenance to finish the task. Amen. ? https://youtube.com/watch?v=FvCb9VfT1WE&list=PLRZgWXXa1XZlWJuDDZJVjKdhDFsonnakZ ?
