 Subject: “Remembering 911”

Good morning Heavenly Father. Well, it’s been exactly twenty-three years since what has come to be known as 911, one of our country’s greatest emergencies. The nation was shocked but suddenly the church buildings were full of frightened people reaching out to you, Oh Lord, for your grace and mercy. As the nation drifted back into lukewarmness, trials and tribulations have not stopped to try the faith of your people. In comparison to 911, it was just a dress rehearsal. Our country is under siege. The West coast is engulfed in raging fires, the central part lies in imminent danger of a supervolcano, while the eastern seaboard is in constant danger of another powerful hurricane. So, we cry out to you, Oh Lord, praying that these present and coming trials, that include the latest pandemic, will bring true conviction upon the hearts and minds of your beloved children to repent of their trespasses, die to self, and live wholly for you. When trials come, we pray that they will only seek your counsel. Let them see the crown of life through their tested faith and godly perseverance. We pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him” (James 1:12).

PRAYERS FOR THE LAST WEEK,  IN CASE YOU MISSED ONE

Prayers by Rev. Daniel W. Blair 9/10/2024

Subject: “Awaken the Lukewarm Church, Oh Lord”

Good morning Heavenly Father. We pray, Oh Lord, that you open the eyes of the lukewarm church who has been blinded by the world. They are happy that their pews are occupied, and their coffers are full but don’t realize that most of their members are carnal. Because of their carnal mind, they are unable to keep the law of God and need constant counseling schooled by the methods of psychology. Open their eyes to see that their inability to keep the law of God is because their members have not completely surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Help them to see that when they truly die to self, allowing Christ to make them into a new creation then it gives them both the desire and the ability to obey the law of God. True believers in Christ may need an occasional exhortation, encouragement, admonishment, or a loving rebuke, but we, Oh Lord, know that they don’t need constant, non-ending counseling allowing them to remain as little more than babies in Christ or of a carnal mind, which is an enmity to God. We pray that you awaken the lukewarm church. We pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

“Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be” (Romans 8:7).

 Subject: “We Have A Living Hope”

Good morning Heavenly Father. Thank you, Lord, for giving us the assurance of our salvation in your anointed Word, the Bible. Not only did you give us assurance, but you have shown us what the new life in Christ looks like and specifically how it changes our beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Seeing this change in our lives gives us real hope, not the false hope peddled by the lukewarm church that needs continued counseling for its members. Thank you, Lord, for showing us it’s not the counseling methods or man’s laws or doctrines that have changed us, but it’s entirely by our faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that you alone made us into a new creation. We trust you, Oh Lord to grow us from one degree of glory to another through the indwelling Spirit. We praise you Lord for putting a tremendous desire within each of our hearts that wants to follow you alone and keep all your blessed commands. Thank you, Lord, for your abiding love. As we see and experience the changes in our lives, we have hope of being your Holy Sanctuary, we have real hope of eternal life. We pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God” (I John 5:13).

 Subject: “Stand Fast in the Lord”

Good Morning Heavenly Father. Help us, Oh Lord, to come quietly before you casting out all old memories and all the worries that are plaguing fallen humanity. Help us not to have a talkative spirit but to embrace the tranquility of silence and solitude. Please, Oh Lord, open our minds to think your thoughts after you, so that we look beyond the veil and see how you are magnificently holding everything, in all of creation, together. Oh what joy it is to feel your presence leading us and directing us to fit uniquely in the Body of Christ not through our own wisdom or initiative but through your gracious favor allowing us to become all that we were created to be. We are deeply saddened that many people are trapped in a cycle of drug addiction, horrible memories, and constant fear of being used. Deliver them, Oh Lord, by casting all of their trust and faith in you alone which will open a window to a world of absolute joy and bliss. We pray that all of your beloved children will come together in unity of spirit and no longer be cast about by the ways of the fallen world. We humbly pray this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

“Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved” (Philippians 4:1).

 Subject: “We Prove Our Love for You, Oh Lord”

Good morning Heavenly Father. Thank you, Father, for showing us through your learned Apostle how we can prove our love for you. Unfortunately, many of your beloved children these days claim to love you, the most-high invisible God but hate their brother for whom they have seen. We thank you, Lord, for making it also clear in the second greatest commandment to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Lead us to have true selfless, compassionate, and merciful love to both our neighbor and our brother in the Lord as our proof of our love for you. Then you said, Oh Lord, that we must also love our enemies. So, we must love everyone to prove our love for you and aim for perfection. We pray that you will help us to always look beyond their flaws, their bad behavior, and even their incapacity or unwillingness to love us back, as we have loved them. Let us be satisfied that our love will flow through them and back to you, our mighty God. The more we love others, the more we feel your love for us. Hallelujah! We pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

“If a man says, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen (I John 4:20)?”

Subject: “Thy Will Be Done”

Good morning Heavenly Father. Our life is an open book that’s written on by your hand, the hand of God, to do with as you please. We pray that this will always be true not only for us but for all your beloved children. We are confident that when we allow you to lead us, we can and have brought about positive change along with great improvement to the world. Historical research will prove that the Church, your people, has championed Christian upbringing, obedience to all of your commands, and following the direction of the Holy Spirit to improve humanity. On the other hand, we have seen great harm caused by fallen humanity creating humanism, secularism, psychology, along with tolerance for other religions, and the many perversions of our day. Help us, Oh Lord to be a positive and powerful influence upon the world by allowing you alone to direct our path. We feel that our world is on the brink, at the crossroads, of following paganism and the destruction of humanity. We always pray, “that your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Help us, Oh Lord to always work to that glorious end. We pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:9-10).

 Subject: “The Corruption of Evil Communications”

Good morning Heavenly Father. We come humbly before you today with inquiring minds seeking to understand the downfall of our country and the world. How could some among us not see this great fall and rebuke publicly those who wish to restore her greatness? Admittedly those wishing to do so may not have the righteousness of a nation in mind. We pray, Oh Lord that you will open the eyes of all your beloved children to see the tragic downfall of righteousness and its cause. With the fascination of movies, social media, YouTube videos, and technology we have unknowingly opened Pandora’s Box by becoming bed partners with every form of evil imaginable. It did not take long, Oh Lord for a whole nation to become corrupt justifying their bad behavior and eventually rejecting you as their God. We pray that you give your children great strength to come out from among them by rejecting these forms of entertainment that have also morphed into short clips of evil on our newsfeeds and timelines. Lead us to withdraw from every form of evil and return to being holy and righteous people who are called by your Name. We pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners” (I Corinthians 15:33).

 Subject: “Work Out Your Own Salvation”

Good morning Heavenly Father. Forgive us Father when we stray from the path of growing up in Christ. Yes, you have taught us that our spiritual growth must happen every hour of every day. No matter what we are doing we must not forget that we belong to you and that obedience is required for our spiritual growth. The more we read the Bible, the more you write your laws upon our hearts through the indwelling Spirit. Help us, Oh Lord to never be satisfied with a stagnant level of spirituality but to continue our struggles of putting off the old life and putting on the new life in Christ. Although these are great struggles at times, we are confident of our success because you are working in us to will and to act according to your good purpose. Although some theology may appear difficult in the beginning to understand, we are confident that you help us to work it out, using it for our benefit. Thank you for giving us everything we need to work out our own salvation, even in the midst of our greatest trials. We pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

“Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:12-13).
