Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to embrace inconvenient truth. In these times of massive deception, it is imperative that we embrace truth, no matter what, even if it flows against the popular narratives. Help us to be strong but subtle, to understand Biblical truth and discerning, to love deeply those deceived and to share truth in ways that stimulate seeds of thought… 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 trim our nails. When our nails get too long, they eventually become annoying, but instead of ripping them out, we simply trim them, and soon forget. Help us to treat annoying people in our lives like overgrown nails, never ripping them out of our lives, but simply trimming with boundaries, always allowing opportunities to share truth… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to move forward on the prayers you have answered.

Help us to be keen to your subtle responses, always taking answers to the next step… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to build honest relationships with God. Many of us have a solid relationship with God, but most of those we encounter don’t. Help us to recognize people who are seeking truth, and help us to inspire them to want a relationship with God, because only via a relationship with God can we be truthfully content and self-sufficient… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to remember that Jesus can resurrect relationships.

Help us to come to you for the restoration of relationships that have become stale, always seeking greater heights by centering our relationships on You… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to vaccinate ourselves against massive deception. The gospels are our guide, not mankind or the elite scientists who have no relationship with God. Help us to be guided by the Bible first, to thoroughly study each day, and by doing so, vaccinating ourselves with truth, and protecting against the deceptions that the Bible clearly warns us of… 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 signs of the times.

Help us to disseminate your words and teachings, to wake-up those in darkness, and to inspire everyone we encounter to know you better… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to not compromise on Biblical truths. Where the Bible is clear, we need to follow, and if someone we know well is compromising themselves with regard to Biblical truth, we need to not look the other way. Help us to know your words well, and when confronted with manipulation of your truth, to calmly correct the falseness… 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 be patient with those we’re attempting to share truth with. God moves in many ways, and sometimes he uses those who are lost to teach us important lessons. Help us to be evangelical, but also observant, knowing that those we’re assisting with the truth also have much to offer on our path of faith and discovery… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to make ourselves available to God. When people seek our counsel and time, and our calendars are seemingly full already, we should always find a way to have conversations, even if it encroaches upon our preferred availability. Help us to use our time with others in service to You, never discounting someone’s ability to finally embrace You… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to remember that our salvation cannot be earned. The most important part of our journey in faith is salvation, and our ability to live eternally in God’s kingdom in Heaven. Help us to remember, and to help others remember, that our salvation cannot be earned, and is only available to us through our hearts belonging to Jesus… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to decipher the entertainment we allow in our lives and homes. Evil can penetrate even the most wholesome appearing traditions of entertainment that we enjoy.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to keep our annoyances and emotions under control. When situations annoy us, it is tempting to lash out as a fleshly means of settling the situation. Help us to control our impulses regarding annoying people and situations, remembering that annoyance stirs in us emotions, and emotional outbursts are the works of evil; hand it to Jesus instead… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to keep our relationship with God simple.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to know the difference between love and enablement. When we love people dearly, we want to help them through the struggles of life, but we must remember that God is working on them too. Help us to allow those we love to struggle prudently in life, to stay connected, but to encourage them to seek God first… 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 when its time to challenge our government. The scriptures are clear with regard to obeying the laws of our governments, but when those laws cross the line of our faith, we are to speak-up. Help us to know when to challenge government officials, and when we do, how to keep the conversations glorifying to 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 be more social than we’d like.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to remember that your answers to our prayers rarely happen the way we anticipate.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to relax into our upgrades. We all have different approaches when faced with change, some start with the positive, others focus on the negative.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to be still and connect to Jesus. God wants our attention, but Satan competes for our attention with an endless parade of distractions, all designed to separate us from God. Help us to put our distractions aside, to find quiet places to be still, and allow our relationship with Jesus to grow, thus quenching our soul’s appetite… 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 we see the same events as others through different lenses. Our interpretation of events is heavily influenced by our perspective, but when we have a common perspective, we can quickly achieve harmony with others. Help us to view everything through a Biblical lens, stewarding common perspectives on what truly matters in this crazy world… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to inspire young people to engage with God. For many of us, our relationship with God did not mature until we were well into our adult years, and our only true life regrets are not having known the Lord earlier. Help us to create appetites in others for a relationship with God, especially in the younger folks… 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 resist being triggered and annoyed by our pasts. As we move forward from our pasts, reminders of people and events occasionally reappear and attempt to move us backward.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to help those younger than ourselves. If we have come to maturity, and bear the good fruit of our faith in our lives, we likely have had the benefit of good mentors that have helped us along our journey. Help to focus on those younger, handing down the same ladder that we were given, sharing wisdom attained… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to let our Joy inspire others. The most significant sign of our faith and relationship with Jesus should be a natural Joy we exude, from the heart. Help us to remember to bring you with us everywhere we go, knowing that our endeavors are ultimately designed for your Glory, bringing us Joy, and creating appetites in others… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to let the words sink-in. It is interesting how differently we all process information, but when we’ve shared words with those who trust us, we need to remember to give time to the process of how those words sprout in their minds. Help us to be ready and always available when words we’ve planted sprout in others… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to look forward to what’s not on our calendars. Sometimes, the most efficient way to plan our week is to not plan our week, leaving sufficient time for the unexpected. Help us to welcome what’s not planned for, and to quickly see how we can glorify God in dealing with what comes our way, embracing the challenges… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to pray constantly for God to soften hearts. If we are living our purpose for God, then there are people in our lives who are not self-sufficient in their relationship to Jesus. Help us to help others become self-sufficient in their faith, to constantly seek cracks in their hearts to plant seeds, hopefully sprouting in true salvation… In Jesus’ name…
