Help us to be open to expanding our comfort zones, welcoming the unfamiliar into our lives, yielding fertile opportunities for us to glorify God… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time enjoy the feeling of getting things done. Procrastination is not a prudent path, and when we’re able bodied and clear in mind, we need to take advantage of the time we’re given, and to get tasks completed. Help us to have a quickened sense of urgency to complete important tasks, and to always bring You along, accordingly… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to have subtle footprints and bold impacts for God.

Help us to focus on a consistent pattern of small steps for You… 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 patient with change.

Help us to freely step outside of our comfort zone for others, glorifying God accordingly… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to process what we hear through God’s filter.

Help us listen well, and when asked for advice, to articulate our opinions according to God’s perfect word… 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 focused on what matters.

Help us to stay focused on Your timepiece, Israel, and to take notice of how Your prophesies are aligning, because time is running short for those who still doubt… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to know that the only lasting peace available is the peace of God.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time for less emotion and more discernment. Let’s not forget that Satan has studied us, and knows exactly how to elicit a tactically-filled emotional response instead of a wisdom-filled strategic solution. Help us to discern well, and to come to You for guidance, to resist emotional responses derived from social media, and help us focus on Jesus only… In Jesus’ name…

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

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to rely upon You for peace in our hearts.
