Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to be a contrarian in this world. Worldly trends come and go, but having a contrarian viewpoint usually leads to a path that is rooted in prudent ways. Help us to see things in the world as they really are, viewing through the lens of the scriptures, and formulating paths cut with the double-edged blades of truth… 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 disciple through actions, everywhere we go.

Help us to be honestly genuine in our lives to our faith, producing a life that helps others to want a taste… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to let simple truth influence others in our conversations. People have different paces in thoughts and impressions, but if we stay non-confrontational and consistent in the truth of matters, we will eventually have an impact on the lost. Help us to keep it simple and calm in conversations, focusing on your truth to consistently convey our positions… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to recognize God’s calling.

Help us to always be searching and open to Your callings in our lives, knowing that our blessings are multiplied when we answer your call… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to desire the cumulative effect of good decisions in our lives.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to wait patiently after planting a few seeds. When we make ourselves available to those who are lost, and when we’ve planted a few seeds of truth, all we can do is wait to see if their appetites have been sparked. Help us to remain patient, allowing  sufficient time for God to soften hearts, available for truth… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to stay humble before God. As we gather success and maturity along our paths in this world, it is important to stay humble and to remember where our success comes from. Help us to stay firmly connected to You, always building-up others for success, and stewarding our portfolios of successful projects for your glory, not our own… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to wait patiently for our prayers to be answered. From the viewpoint of ourselves only, it can seem strange, or even wrong, that God waits to answer our prayers, but, God works all things together for good, and ultimately, we’re much better off with our perceived delay. Help us to trust in YOU completely, you answer all… 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 to use words that may sting. When we’ve accepted the task of helping to steward someone who may be lost, we sometimes get to a point where backsliding can no longer be tolerated. Help us to know when to use sharp-edged words as a last resort with those who are running out of mulligans… 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 helpful to those whom we disagree with.

Help us to look past our incompatibilities, and to focus on fruitful relationships that give us the opportunity to share God’s wisdom… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to stay connected to those we want to run away from.

Help us to resist the urge to build walls as boundaries, and instead to create moats that don’t impede their view… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to live according to God’s mathematics. The equations we encounter along our paths are ours to accept or ignore, even though the outcomes are perfect. Help us grow closer to You, and by doing so, understanding and adhering to your mathematics, not our own, because our math leads us astray, but your math leads us to joy… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to put our faith and trust only in God.

Help us to be receptive to new people and situations, to welcome changes in our routines, and to always eagerly anticipate introductions… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to enjoy a moderate pace.

Help us to seek a moderate pace, to schedule ourselves wisely, leaving sufficient gaps for availability to accept what we have not anticipated, living Joyfully each day… 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 welcome back old friends.

Help us to be welcoming to all, regardless of how much recent communication has or has not happened… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to resist the urge to say “I told you so”. When we’ve had opportunities to advise and our words were discounted or ignored, it’s more important for us to reengage and help, than to remind that we were right. Help us to welcome back anyone who may have discounted or ignored prudent advice, only for God’s Glory… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to enjoy a little fruit.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to listen, understand and appreciate when others thank us.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to keep Jesus centered in our search for truth. Deception is happening in the world on a grand scale, and unless we stay centered on Jesus, we too are vulnerable to being deceived. Help us to be discerning of all and everything, staying deep within prayer and closeness to God, seeking and receiving truth, knowledge and wisdom… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to avoid the narratives and seek only truth. The narratives are in bloom, and they seek, like weeds, to steal the light of truth, yielding death and destruction as their byproducts. Help us to see through the popular narratives, seeking only the abundant truth, and calmly sharing truth with those who are available to hear the truth… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to keep the world and its influences out of our faith. Pride can devour even the best and brightest of us, and the influences of the world can easily creep into our thoughts, if we’re not careful, enabling much of our work to fall away into debris. Help us to stay true and focused only on Jesus… 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 that God will give us the strength, if we answer his call.

Help us know that nothing is impossible for God, and if we’re willing, he definitely has a way to success… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to do what’s right, even if its unpopular. Legal and illegal in the world does not equal right and wrong in Heaven. Help us to be focused on doing what’s right for others, even if those we are serving are not popular in the eyes of many, always hoping that a steady stream of grace becomes profitable… 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 to those who are lost. These times in the world are troubling to the lost, as God is making things uncomfortable in order to grasp the attention of those falling to deception. Help us to always be available to anyone suffering from instability, avoiding judgement, and helping to guide back to a narrow path… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to understand, keeping our warrantees intact. Even the mightiest of us are delicate, and if we don’t follow your advice, we risk voiding your warrantee. Help us live according to your laws and wisdom that are clearly articulated in the Bible, because if we don’t, the repair bill may be expensive, or we could be junked entirely… 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 honest with ourselves regarding where we put our trust. If one truly understands what is happening in our world, where the brokers of power are moving their minions, then one will quickly understand that trust in anything other than God is fruitless. Help us to trust only in You, and to help others do likewise… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to introduce the lost to Jesus. We never know who is coming our way, so we need to be prepared for those who are available, but haven’t been introduced. Help us to be subtle and consistent, always being patient and non-judgmental,  and letting positive interactions accrue to form an appetite to want to know Jesus… In Jesus’ name I pray…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to avoid attaching ourselves to worldly causes. We should be citizens of Heaven, not of this world, and alliances with worldly narratives offer no benefit to the followers of Jesus. Help us to avoid the politics and social movements of the world, and to firmly attach ourselves only to Jesus, letting our light attract others to truth… 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 feed the hungry. People everywhere are malnourished for truth, but there is no shortage of media and narratives willing to supply an endless stream of junk. Help us to always have our shelves fully stocked with truth to share, learning to recognize when someone’s appetites are available, and seeking to satiate their needs for truthful salvation… 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 known for our patience. The pressures and stresses of this world are daunting, but our exposure to actual threats is extremely limited, assuming we have immersed ourselves deeply with Jesus. Help us to bear good fruit, the sweetest of which should be a patient demeanor with those who are troubled, filling gaps with loving truth… In Jesus’ name…
