"The one concern of the devil is to keep
[us] from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil,
mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray." - Samuel Chadwick

8.31.2008 Heavenly Father, why must this nation not heed the warnings of
the watchmen that You have placed within in our society and of those of history's past? Why must she continue to turn
and repel the truth, failing to recognize the cause of her errors? Our nation finds herself with
no where to turn, without spiritual reason, and without trust in the one and only true God of which she was once
upon founded. Our nation has forgotten what it means to fear the Lord her God. God forgive
us, what this once great nation has requested, she deserves. I pray that You be with Your children, protect us as
her judgement unfolds. Amen
8.29.2008 Heavenly Father, when questions about
the very core of our faith in You become questioned by those who don't seem to have any faith at all,
give us the strength to stand firmly on the rock that You have established through the blood and resurrection of
Jesus Christ. Put the words in our mouth and love in our heart. Help us to understand our salvation isn't based on how
well we can sell it to others, but rather the bond that we have with You through the forgiving, cleansing blood of Jesus
Christ. The path is straight and the gate is narrow, though few will find it, help us through Your strength to bare
a firm witness of Your love. Amen
8.28.2008 Heavenly Father, increasingly troubled
my spirit has begun to feel. I am afraid for the countless souls that refuse to submit their lives
into Your hands. I fear for those who do works in your name, but know not who You are. I grieve for the proud
and the haughty that set themselves on pedestals of pride. I fear for the lost that refuse to see the light. Father help Your
children to continue to lift these souls to the Your throne. Amen
8.27.2008 Heavenly Father, the storm is turning on the water.
The waves will swell and soon break upon our prideful shores. The once great nation that boasts
of peace and safety will soon feel the effect of dividing what is not ours to divide. Quicken our hearts and mind to
repent before the storm inflects it's devastating wrath. God forgive us. Amen
8.26.2008 Heavenly Father, help me to have patience and understanding.
When things seem to be spinning out of control, steady my desent and lift me back up through Your awesome power. I will
always exalt Your name above all names and sing praises to You for all eternity. Thank You for keeping me together when
everything around me is falling apart! Amen
8.18.2008 Heavenly Father, help us to understand what true supernatural mercy is. As our enemy
camps around about our walls, help us to love them. When the war begins to be waged, help the love to endure.
It is against human nature to want to love or treat these enemies with kindness, but we know from Your example that we must.
Even You washed the feet of Judas, You knew he was going to sell You out and give You up to be nailed to the cross,
but you still showed mercy even upon him. Help us to seek the strength to offer the same mercy even unto our own death.
When the enemy's attacks against us become more frequent, may the prayers from our lips be more frequently filled with love
and mercy. Amen
8.16.2008 Heavenly Father, thank You for the wonderful blessings that You have given unto my family and I. You see a need and
You give with Your gracious hand. No matter how small the need or how great, You always continue to provide.
I can’t even utter the words I feel, there are not even words in the human dialect that would offer the gratitude
I hold within this mortal heart of mine. Thank You always for Your Son and the redemption found in His
blood. Glory to Your majestic name! I love You Father. Amen
8.15.2008 Heavenly Father, upon the air I can hear the cries of the lost, crying out to their faceless, spiritless, and non-existent
gods. The lingering putrid smell of this decaying world, seemingly content with dwelling within its own
rotten flesh, being continually blinded through selfish lusts and intentional disregard of Your divine commandments.
Everyday I feel in my spirit the end drawing closer. I sit in awe as the words spoken through Your
prophets from old begin to increasingly come to a head. Father you have always been faithful to your children
who rely on You for their strength, You have shown us through Your word the rewards of faithfulness. I
no longer worry for my own skin, but for the skin of those who diligently refuse the truth of Your only begotten Son.
God save them I pray….. Amen
8.14.2008 Heavenly Father, since the fall of Adam man’s nature is to sin. As I continue to pick up
my cross to walk the path of righteousness, sin’s salesman, Temptation, seems to loom and entice me at every turn and
avenue. Temptation trying for even a moment to lure my eyes away from You. As I struggle
daily to keep my eyes focused on Your path of righteousness, hear my cry for repentance when I wavier. When
I fall I am ashamed and grieved that for a moment I allowed my flesh to be my corrupted king. You are my
only King, the Holiest of Kings. Give me the strength to overcome this sinful fleshly body I will daily pray. Thank you for
the redemptive blood of Your Son, the perfect Lamb! Amen
8.13.2008 Heavenly Father, hear the cries of Your children. Comfort those in persecution, nourish those
in spiritual starvation, and uplift the prayers of those carrying out Your mission. In our spiritual journey
and in life you have never left us alone to fend for ourselves. You have provided a path of salvation, which Your own Spirit
leads us continually. We exalt You daily, praising above all your heavenly name. Open our eyes to see Your
path. Amen
8.12.2008 Heavenly Father, help me when anger and retaliation rear their ugly heads. Anger is so easily
kindled by the urge to seek revenge. But by Your strength I may turn the cheek and swallow the pride that consumes even the
godliest of saints. You are my rock and my anchor during rough seas of temptation. It is not by my might but by Yours that
I can overcome all obstacles. Praise Jesus! Amen
8.11.2008 Heavenly Father, thank You for the breath of life I woke up with today. I know if I have breath
than I am alive. I have so many things to be thankful for, endless are Your blessings. I need Your strength
in all things I do. With Your breath in this body of mine, I am capable of continuing to enjoy these many
wonderful blessings in which I am blessed. Thank You Jesus for Your blood that washed my sins away! Amen
8.9.2008 Heavenly Father, strengthen our confidence
to stand firm on truth. When popular opinion is weighed heavily against that which we know to be true, give us divine
constitution to keep our feet on solid ground. You are our rock, our holy foundation, and we exalt Your name! Through
Your strength we can come against all odds and stand with You victoriously after the battle has been waged. With You as our
commander, failure is not an option. Amen
8.8.2008 Heavenly Father, let us sing praises to Your
name, for You are the most high and none is above Your name! You see our needs and provide by Your gracious hand. We thank
You for blessings unseen and the peace in which is given in such abundance. You are magnificent and majestic, hallelujah praise
be to our King! Amen
8.7.2008 Heavenly Father,
when doubt plagues our thoughts, replace the doubt with peace of mind. In You we find our true and eternal peace. Help us
see that as life's difficulties arise we are not left alone to tackle our own struggles. Though we may feel alone and abandoned,
You are always there to comfort us. Thank You for the peaceful embrace we find between Your nail scared hands. Amen
8.6.2008 Heavenly Father, be with us when we grieve. Mend these hearts that were created by Your own
hand. Help us not to forget that You too know what it means to grieve. Remind us that the tears we shed, You too
have shed. Through Your Son we gain our strength and spiritual rejuvenation. Through His blood we can reclaim
any tear that is lost. Thank You for the power to overcome! Amen
8.5.2008 Heavenly
Father help us to see our sin for what it is. It was sin that nailed Your only son upon the cross. When
we falter and stumble, quicken our spirit with the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Grieve our hearts until we seek Your divine forgiveness
through our repentance. Thank you for Your love, strengthen us, and most of all, thank You for Your Son. Amen
8.4.2008 Heavenly Father we give you thanks for all things, which are your blessings. Hear
our prayers for those in need. Strengthen us in spirit and in health. Guide our feet along your path
of righteousness. Amen.
