Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to remember that we can’t see the future, but you can. It is important to remember that when we anticipate events in the future, we do not know how things will ultimately play-out, therefore, our anticipation is often inaccurate. Help us to avoid anticipation of other people’s thoughts and actions, always praying to You for positive outcomes… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time for things to go my way, not. There is so much on my calendar to get done, and I want things to go my way, for my task-list to be the sole priority, and in doing so, I have made myself unavailable to God. Help me to slow down, to deprioritize me, and to prioritize God, always… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to understand the problem prior to adding spice. Our words have the ability to unite or divide, depending on our understanding of the problem, and our use of exclamation. Help us to thoroughly meditate on the problems we face, and to apply just the right words that can spice them into truth, always seeking to glorify God… 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 focus on your plans, not our own. My plans need predictability in my schedule so that I can anticipate with clarity; your plans include outcomes beyond what I can anticipate, and ultimately yield a richer and happier life for me. Help me to learn to yield to your plans in my life, favoring flexibility in outcomes… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to become more self-sufficient by observing the specialist. Professionals charge large sums of money for maintenance on items that we often rely upon, but learning to do our own maintenance is possible. Help us to observe and invest in the proper tooling, becoming self-sufficient in the process, and saving lots of money and time in doing so… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to dispense grace generously. It is simple to become frustrated with others, but we must remember that we too create much frustration in others as well. Help us to stay humble in our interactions with those we encounter, realizing that our tone in conversation impacts our ability to connect with others in ways that can 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 eagerly await your return. Your coming near return is our blessed hope, but until that moment, there is so much more work to do. Help us to take comfort in your promises, but to also stay busy in this world by helping others also have access to the hope we have, because we know the future… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to stay connected to those who attempt to remain distant. When Satan is attempting to get ahold of a soul, he first attempts to get that person to isolate from others, especially those who pose a threat to evil ways. Help us to stay connected with those who are seeking isolation, if even just an occasional text… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to stop trying to control what we cannot. Some things are much larger than what we can control, yet sometimes we obsess and try to anyway. Help us to embrace You, and through prayer, to seek your help and guidance for matters greater than ourselves, because nothing is too big for you, and your reach is infinite… 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 time to understand those of the younger generations.

Help us to keenly observe and listen, to avoid rapid judgements, and to look for opportunities to plant thoughtful seeds… 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 eagerly anticipate our next task. If we make the effort to get close to God, God will see to it that we are given tasks that Glorify God, and give God reason to bless our lives. Help us to stay close to You, always eagerly anticipating our next assignment, and always working diligently for your 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 prioritize others. We all have daily tasks we want to accomplish, but we also have others in our lives who depend upon us to help them along. Help us to clearly see how we can help others as our priority and sill have bountiful time to accomplish our personal tasks, always glorifying You in fulfilling both… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to trim without destroying. When our fingernails get annoying, we don’t rip them out, we simply trim them until they’re no longer a nuisance. Help us to trim away those in our lives who may bring deceit or consequence, establishing healthy boundaries allowing access to the truth, but protect us from the influences of sin and evil… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to take things in as they are. We all have our own idea of how we want things to be and how we want situations to go, but our view of the world is extremely limited. Help us to rely on Your view, not our own, and to surrender to the opportunities you put in our paths… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to socialize beyond our comfort zone.

Help us to bust out of our shells, to go out when we receive invitations, and to socialize and subtly point to 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 always use grace in our discernment. There are some things that are non-negotiable and God’s laws address them clearly.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to trust in you completely. Time and time again You bring us through the valleys of doubt and fear, yet we always seem to fall back into them, adding unnecessary anxiety into our lives. Help us to see the positive in situations and avoid dwelling on the negative, always trusting in you and your will for us… 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 remember that you are watching over us.

Help us to make the effort into investing time in our relationship with You first, and reaping the clarity it brings… 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 available when we’re needed. There are many ways we can make ourselves unavailable, some of them active, and some passive. Help us to actively plan to be available for the unknown, and to passively remain available by avoiding actions, behaviors, and passions that take us off-line, allowing God to use us as he sees fit… 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 spaces free from clutter.

Help us to unclutter our spaces, giving to others what we have stored for purposeless reasons, and enjoying the open space that is free from the unused stuff… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to be good stewards of the blessings we receive.

Help us to be excellent stewards of all that God has blessed us with, maintaining and caring for the people and things we have responsibility in… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to make the most of our free time. When we’re given an abundance of unscheduled time, we can immerse ourselves in pointless self-serving entertainment and folly, or we can take the opportunity to learn and seek others. Help us to always desire to expand our knowledge of what we find interesting, and to seek others for fellowship… 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 fragility of what we take for granted. Just because things are, or just because cycles repeat predictably, there’s no certainty of the recurring, and sometimes pain when the recurring stops recurring. Help us to clearly understand how fragile the cycles are that we depend upon, always seeking You for our certainty, not your cycles… In Jesus’ name…

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

Help us to quiet our lives enough to hear your direction in our endeavors in this life, always seeking to glorify You… 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 use our time wisely.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to constantly seek God’s guidance in our lives.

Help us to choose God’s purpose over things, knowing that doing God’s work will always provide the things we need in life… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to relax in the time you’ve provided. Being task oriented and getting things done can be productive for God, but relaxing and rejuvenating can also move God’s agenda forward. Help us to have balance in our lives and to gladly take the time you’ve provided to relax and enjoy our blessings, never feeling guilt for doing so… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time for precision and accuracy in all we do.
