December 2024

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to stop dwelling on the dark past. We all have darkness in our past, and Satan loves to provoke us to dwell on the darkness, stealing our potential for joy. Help us to focus on today, because today is tomorrow’s yesterday, and we have opportunities everyday to move forward and glorify God, securing our treasures in heaven… 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 that some ears are not available. Sadly, on our paths in this world we will meet people who desperately need Jesus in their lives, but will not allow themselves to hear truth. Help us to recognize when we’ve met people not available to hear, and to politely disengage, leaving a bridge always available to them… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to walk the isles. When the weather becomes cold, and outdoor activities become uncomfortable, we always have the opportunity to walk and explore the vast indoor spaces available. Help us to walk the isles and to see who we may bump into, sparking conversations that can lead to enlightenment and fellowship, all because we took a walk… 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 the seeds we sow.

Help us to always leave encounters with others on a high note, causing them to thoughtfully ponder the conversation… 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 be the mentor or the mentee.

Help us to seek Your guidance all day and every day, spreading Your wisdom in our relationships, and being mentors in glorifying You in our productive partnerships… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to take advantage of the still air. As our surroundings change within the seasons, each new scenario offers advantages and disadvantages that we are free to exploit. Help us take advantage of the stillness in the air, to plan activities where we can thrive with others in open spaces, having fun and glorifying God in potential fellowships… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to influence decisions behind the scenes. Propping up others can be an amazingly effective method of deploying influence, and doing so centered on our relationship with God is a useful methodology. Help us to use our relationship with You to help others be successful, selflessly serving and avoiding the attention, but building a reputation while glorifying 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 pivot when God has changed our surroundings. Circumstances that surround us can change quickly, and if we prioritize to our own will above God’s will, we can end up in a precarious place. Help us to yield to circumstances we can’t control, to park our stubborn tendencies, and to pivot quickly knowing God is in control… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to layer the steps to success. Transitions can be awkward, but when alignment has been achieved, it becomes time to build the steps for the new normal. Help us to bring You to the center of our efforts, and to draw the blueprints for the new scalable solutions, and in doing so, glorifying God in the process… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to take advantage of the quiet to strengthen alignments.  Seeking new opportunities to move forward with others requires those involved to be aligned, and of a like mindset. Help us to always seek common ground with those we share tasks, consolidating thoughts while exploiting gifts, and planning success based on God’s purposes, never based on self-serving outcomes… 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 detailed when showcasing others. Although we should maneuver in selfless patterns, keeping pride in check, it is important for us to showcase the good work of others, giving credit where credit has been earned. Help us to be detailed in our presentations of completed work, always giving appropriate credit to the significant contributions of 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 gently rebuke those who are excessively negative. Anything made by people will have flaws, but focusing only on the flaws, and not the intended purpose, will result in a quagmire, and a loss of positive momentum. Help us be kind in our rebukes to those who can only focus on flaws, gently steering them to purpose… 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 clear in thought and wise in our words.

Help us to include You in our messaging, and to seek Your words, resulting in messages welcomed and understood… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to do a bunch of little things. Large and sweeping change is rare, and meaningful change usually comes in the sum total of the smaller things we accomplish. Help to focus on the small tasks, knocking each task off our lists within a comfortable pace, remembering that each one individually is small, but summed, they are great… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to favor relationship over religion. Religious affiliations can be productive in our lives, but religion never replaces the relationship God wants with us, individually. Help us to seek a personal relationship with You, to nurture our relationship daily, to include You in every aspect of our lives, and to seek your guidance and wisdom as our steward… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time for order in the dormant season. Keeping things well trimmed and pruned in the growing seasons helps things to stay in order during the dormant season. Help us to enjoy the fruit of our efforts, to stay keen on the minimal work needing to be done, and to relax with a joyous heart into the reduced demand… 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 reasonable expectations of others. Filling our buckets of grace on a daily basis gives us the opportunity to maneuver in the world, while maintaining a productive composure. Help us to remember to fill our buckets daily, and to freely dispense the grace we’re gifted, knowing that we are not limited in our access to refill… 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 effective in communication with everyone. People are complex, and utilizing finesse in our communication styles can go a long way in avoiding unnecessary conflict.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday-eve and more time to stay connected, even through annoyance.

Help us to resist the urge to cut connections with those who consistently disappoint, and to use the seasonal change for good, never giving up… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to freely pass along God’s wisdom.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to enjoy a totally new glide path. Momentum has changed and the repressors of truth have been injured, but the margin of truth is extremely thin and fragile, requiring much preventative maintenance to continue. Help us to not take this season for granted, and to pray constantly for continued truthful momentum, utilizing this season for God’s purposes… In Jesus’ name…
