Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to slow our responses until we’ve taken it to Jesus first. When we come across people and situations that don’t seem to add-up, we need to trust our instincts and take the issues to God, prior to responding. Help us to tune-in clearly to issues and situations surrounding us, always asking the Lord for the proper response… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to do good work at the speed of others.

Help us to slow down when necessary, for 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 present facts that make sense.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to allow the patterns to form. If we surrender ourselves to be bombarded with media, we will eventually start to see the narratives rather than the plain truth. Help us to know that there is always a plain truth, and to resist tuning-in to the narrative driven media, instead focusing on prayer and relationships centered on truth… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to serve others with patience.

Help us to have patient hearts with those in our proximity who are suffering, helping them with their burdens, leaving impressions that touch hearts… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to assess our moods before using our tongues. Being right is not the most important thing, and when we’re burdened by those who annoy us, it is best to hold our rebukes until a calmer mood arises. Help us to display grace and to avoid pleasing our flesh in anger, keeping the paths open for your truth… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to be mentally calm. Fear sells, and the primary institutions that ask for and seek our trust are the main peddlers of fear in this world. Help us to trust only in God, not in the institutions built by man, seeking God’s wisdom and knowledge which is freely available, providing the calm and clarity we’re designed for… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to use unplanned time with others for You. God puts us in the paths of others, and when we have an unplanned opportunity to share the truth, we need to see that as a blessing, not a burden. Help us to have a soft heart,  making the most of our opportunities to serve others, for your 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 be available.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday-eve and more time to learn from being inconvenienced.

Help us to not only be available, but to also welcome opportunities that enable us to help others, seeing the situation as fertile ground for God… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to keep an eye on someone.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to trust in God’s outcomes, not our predictions. As we transverse our paths, encountering challenges and projects for God, we sometimes get ahead of ourselves and predict outcomes.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to make good decisions. It is never too late to start making good decisions, however, the longer we put things off, the more cornered we’ll become, and eventually will have consequences that can’t be remediated.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to stay in the word of God.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday-eve and more time to move at God’s pace.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to pray for outcomes.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to avoid rushing through our chores.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to reach those who are still lost.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to appreciate the completeness of the scriptures.

Help us to know when those who are leading congregations are misusing the scriptures, and to seek congregations that are true to the word as God intended… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to know that God’s answer is always the best answer.

Help us to deeply trust in Your answers to our prayers, knowing that your perspective is infinite, and your answers to our prayers, and the means, are always better than we perceive… In Jesus’ name...

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to take the advice of those we trust. God puts people in our paths for good reasons, and our relationships with those we trust are two-way. Help us to listen as well as we speak, and to take advice offered by those who care about our wellbeing, because we can be our own worst enemy at times… 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 know what truly matters. Knowing what matters to God is something that should guide our opinions of politicians, regardless of how rough around the edges they seem to be. Help us to look past veneers, and to truly know what matters to God, and to let those attributes map our paths to our participation in government… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to capitalize on the silence of the entertainment that’s been quieted.

Help us to step-up our efforts to spread the truth, to find the reachable and to dispense the truth of salvation before its too late… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to keep our faith simple. God’s truth is not complex, yet some seek to complicate everything they touch, and by doing so, create the opportunity for corruption. Help us to align our souls to simple truth, avoiding the traps of evil, and filling our minds and fellowships with wholesome realities, as this world circles the final drain… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to help those who don’t display the fruit of their faith. Simply saying the truth is not the same as knowing a truth deep within your heart. Help us to be patient with those struggling with the truth and promises of God, creatively introducing paths that help them find the only truth, Jesus, producing fruit for tomorrow… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to bring You into every relationship. Relationships are complicated, and the raw human condition is flawed, with many triggers from the past that we can’t see. Help us to forge relationships that strive to have Jesus in the center, to come together with encouragement for one another, seeking to build trust and to connect on deeper levels… 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 available.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to use our vapor.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday-eve and more time to let impressions sink in.
