Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Friday and more time to use our momentum wisely.  Along our paths and within our seasons, we often have opportunity to gain momentum with others, closely aligned with purpose.  Help us to value and maintain our momentum, avoiding the pitfalls of pride, and blazing a trail in good works that ultimately glorifies You, and the multiple intersecting purposes you instill … In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Saturday and more time to be available for others.  Our busy lives sometimes cause us to be too focused on completing our own tasks, while those around us need an ear and assistance.  Help us to prioritize others in our lives, to attentively listen, to seek opportunities to help, and to move them, and ourselves, forward in fellowship for God’s glory… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Sunday and more time to do less enabling.  When our hearts are open and we’re serving others, its important, at some point, for others to know why we’re serving them.  Help us be soft enough to serve others, yet bold enough to tell them about what motivates us to serve them, our Lord Jesus, helping to create self-sufficiency in their lives… In Jesus’ name...

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Monday and more time to listen.  Our nature is sometimes a bit eager to take action to fix what’s broken, but acting when we’ve not fully understood the problem can be damaging.  Help us to avoid growing ear-lids, to keep our ears clear and to listen to the entirety of situations presented, knowing that our helpful actions will be more effective… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to remember that very little is more important than introducing someone to the truth.  We easily get wrapped-up in our own priorities for the day, however, taking time with someone who’s available is more important.  Help us to set aside our tasks easily, and to focus on delivering truth to those who make themselves available to listen… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to accept the flow of the new seasons.  There are lasting impacts of negative experiences on our minds from seasons past that can affect our current season with prejudice.  Help us to not allow the past to taint our perceptions of the current, and to look to the situations present to formulate boundaries appropriate to the now… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Friday-eve and more time to help others day by day.  For those who are not walking with the Lord, each day is a struggle without an outlet for hope.  Help us to feed those without the Lord, helping to bridge them each day, hoping that they will find God eventually, but until they do, bearing patience and love, day by day… In Jesus’ name...

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Friday and more time to listen to ourselves a little less.  Listening to ourselves can lead to a situation where we are no longer seeking God’s advice, just our own.  Help us to always seek God in our decisions and steps in life, knowing that there’s nothing too small or large for us to seek God’s advice, and he always answers… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Saturday and more time to pick the low hanging fruit.  Although it is possible to go to great depths to solve very large problems, we often have opportunities within our immediate grasp to have quick, meaningful impacts.  Help us to see the small things, right before our eyes, and to pick the low hanging fruit, always moving forward to glorify God… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Sunday and more time to feel the presence of God.  Prioritizing God, spending time with God is something we can and should do on a regular basis.  Help us to seek You and to prioritize time in our days to find a quiet, peaceful and private place to meditate and converse with You, constantly growing our relationship that knows no bounds… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Monday and more time to move the slots on our calendars for you.  The time we’re given to schedule needs to be flexible, according to your plans and purposes.  Help us to see the greater impacts, and to move the slots of our calendars, accordingly, knowing that as long as you are driving us, our maneuvers will be blessed by you… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to apply the brakes prudently.  There are times when knowing what to do to steward positive change is met with reluctance to change.  Help us be sensitive to others, to slow down sufficiently to seek alignment on where we’re going, so that we can overcome resistance, and plant seeds that lead to moving forward together in purpose… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to get out and mingle.  We all have a tendency to stay in the comfort zone of our homes, however, getting out causes us to cross paths with others we would have otherwise never met.  Help us to desire to perform our tasks outside of our homes, and to always look for opportunities to work with others… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Friday-eve and more time to weave our gifts together with our talents.  Our talents are from God, and to be used within God’s common grace, but our gifts from God are to be used for God’s glory and purposes.  Help us to bring our natural talent into intersection with our gifts, unleashing great power in doing so, all for God’s glory… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Friday and more time to appreciate our proximity to prophecy.  We are fortunate regarding our proximity in God’s plan, as we have the ability to clearly see fulfilled prophecy, nearly to the apex.  Help us to relax into your remaining prophetic words, and to help those seeking the truth to find it, knowing the signs of the times, finding them comforting… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Saturday and more time to ditch the fear.  If it seems like everything is breaking-down and falling apart, please know that it is, and in reality, things are actually coming together, exactly as he told us.  Help us to take great comfort in our proximity to truth, and to help others shed their anxiety by accepting the fruits of your sacrifice… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this resurrection Sunday and more time to partake of your sacrifice.  You’ve paid the price for our salvation, yet there are so many who refuse to accept it.  Help us to change the appetites of the lost, to help them shift their desires from temporary worldly comforts that lead to death, into eternal heavenly gifts of paradise, redeeming your gift of salvation… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Monday and more time to fight through the anxiety.  We are under constant attack from the devil, and his favorite tool of punishment and torture is anxiety.  Help us be confident in our relationship with You, knowing that your love is more powerful than Satan’s angst, and refocusing our relationship with you, in prayer, is the most powerful anti-anxiety treatment available… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to be a good host.  Visitation from others can be viewed as either an inconvenience for ourselves, or an opportunity to build upon an already solid foundation.  Help us to be great hosts, to freely invite others into our spaces, and to intently stay engaged in building upon friendships, always seeking to bolster fellowship in our Lord… In Jesus’ name...

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to hear what’s not said.  Listening to others is our most important tool in understanding and connecting to situations, however, deciphering what’s not said is important as well.  Help us to not only listen well to the words of others, but to pay attention to what’s not said, connecting the dots and understanding holistically the big picture… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Friday-eve and more time to get to know others deeply.  We all have an exterior shell, some thicker than others.  Help us to get to know people as deeply as they’ll allow, and to be cognizant of boundaries, knowing that past traumas in life thicken our shells, but God’s love can penetrate anything, especially our wounds, helping to thin barriers nicely… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Friday and more time to be OK with moving slowly.  We are constantly being prodded to move quicker and quicker, yet real learning and meaningful change thrives on patience and a moderate pace.  Help us to be OK with slowing down, taking more time to deepen our understanding and relationships, always seeking trust and truth, bringing you with us each day… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Saturday and more time to shift gears and unwind.  Our busy days and encounters with others causes our minds to fill with thoughts, sometimes negative, that may or may not be filled with truth.  Help us to take the time to unwind, to shift our actions to the weekend, knowing that Monday will eventually occur, but not before the appointed time… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Sunday and more time to rely on Jesus.  Finding truth can be so simple, but the evil movements at play in the world are alluring and powerful.  Help us to help those who are missing the simple truth, to learn to rely on Jesus, not political parties, not religion, only to rely on Jesus as the only simple truth we need… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Monday and more time to just surrender.  We have such a drive to control our surroundings, and surrendering to you is the simple answer that’s so difficult for us to do.  Help us to stop trying to control our surroundings, people, and calendars, and through faith, to just know and trust that you provide each day, and that’s all we need… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to understand the pain of others.  Often times, when we meet people that are difficult or intimidating, there’s a root-cause creating pain, motivating their persona.  Help us to take the chance to get to know difficult people a little better, hopefully creating a safe space to plant seeds for their relationship with God, ultimately relieving their pain… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to help build cultures of truth.  We are inundated with ideologies and agendas constantly, and every day we have a choice whether to surrender, fight or ignore.  Help us to participate in a constant and steady culture of truth, engaging anyone whose ears are open, respecting boundaries, but focused on small, steady wins, creating appetites for more… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Friday-eve and more time to present well.  Presentations can be formal or relaxed, and as we navigate through our days we’re constantly presenting to others, whether we’re aware of it or not.  Help us to increase our awareness of our presentations to others, to keep the interactions appropriate to the audience, and to connect on a personal level, always forming relationships… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Friday and more time to appreciate the fear of God.  Without the fear of God, we’re sitting ducks for Satan to hunt and destroy.  Without the fear of God, we have no chance to live fulfilling lives or to experience sustainable Joy.  Help us to appreciate the fear of God, using it to shape our lives and to motivate our steps… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship.  Thank you for this Saturday and more time to stop hoarding your gifts.  We are blessed, beyond description, with Jesus in our lives, but having the Lord in our hearts is not a private matter.  Help us to share the good news and to help others have what we possess, giving those who will listen the truth, helping them to also be blessed beyond description… In Jesus’ name…
