Prayers: Week 3

Dreams

God, you are the author of my life and confess that I have several areas of unbelief present in my life.
In spite of your Word and what I have experienced, I still doubt that your plan is better.  I pray that you would increase my capacity of belief in you, your ways, and all that your Word says.  For my brothers and sisters in Christ, I pray that you would do the same.....relieve the burdens on the minds and within the spirits of your people.  Give us the courage to release everything to you and embrace the vision (dream) that you have for us all. Reveal to your dreams, your ways to us.  Remind us of the things we have forgotten. Make the details fresh, revive the passion within them. In Jesus name amen.

These verses come to mind:

Psalm 24:3
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
    the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it on the seas
    and established it on the waters.

Psalm 25:3-4
No one who hopes in you
    will ever be put to shame,
but shame will come on those
    who are treacherous without cause.
Show me your ways, Lord,
    teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
    for you are God my Savior,
    and my hope is in you all day long.

Prayers: Week 2

God Builds a Nation

God is the Author of life. He set forth to build a nation to fulfill his purposes, even after sin entered into the world.  God's plan is to restore everything according to His will, His plan, and in His way.

Heb 10:15-18

15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:

   16 “This is the covenant I will make with them
    after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
    and I will write them on their minds.”

17 Then he adds:

“Their sins and lawless acts
    I will remember no more.”

18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.

How great is God that he would not allow anything to stop His plan from being fulfilled. No mistake, failure, evil....nothing will prevent God's plan from being fulfilled.  

Are we paying attention to God's work around us?

Prayers- Week 1

I decided to share a prayer I have.  In keeping with The Story series we are walking through at church, I've decided to write out a prayer based on Week 1's topic.

Week 1: Creation
Prayer for my pastors:

Most high God of all creation, you have displayed your creative mind, your power and glory since the beginning of time. I pray that Pastor Paul, Pastor Carlton, and Pastor Dave experience you in a more real way each and every day. You have not hidden your ways of the very essence of yourself, you are in full view and I pray that they see you, hear you, and learn from you. open their minds, their eyes, and most of all their spirits to you. In Jesus name, Amen!

Isa 46:9 says:

Remember the former things, those of long ago;
    I am God, and there is no other;
    I am God, and there is none like me.
10 I make known the end from the beginning,
    from ancient times, what is still to come.
I say, ‘My purpose will stand,
    and I will do all that I please.’
