Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to be in the moment. We have tasks to accomplish and barriers to work through, but focusing outside of where we’re currently at takes us away from where we currently are. Help us to take comfort in our organizational skills, and to focus on the moment we’re in, ensuring that we’ll get the most opportunity, glorifying God… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to accept invitations. Sometimes our nature wants us to stay home, but getting out and socializing is good for our souls. Help us to accept invitations from others, and to extend invitations of our own, giving ourselves opportunities to interact with others and to have conversations that have the possibility of maturing into fellowships that glorify God… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to look ahead. Focusing on where we’re going and where we need to be can go terribly wrong if people are stubbornly stuck in the past. Help us to align on where we’re going, to seek unanimity regarding our goals, and to plot paths forward, aligning on a common mission, and hopefully planting seeds leading to 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 relax creatively.

Help us to be creative in our downtime, to explore new avenues that can yield interesting entertainment, and always adapting to the opportunities presented around us, enjoying a change of pace that’s present in the moment… 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 creative in problem solving. There’s a big difference between right and wrong as compared to legal vs. illegal. Help us to have a level head, to focus on solving the immediate problem and remediating the potential damage, and taking the issues to You prior to actions, emotions, or expressions of anger toward the root cause… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to seek fellowship in our daily work. There’s never a bad time to seek fellowship with others, and organically generated conversations surrounding mutual tasks can be target-rich opportunities. Help us to seek collaboration in good work with others, and to allow the Holy Spirit to move through our work to create opportunities to plant seeds for 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 recognize when the problem is simply our mood. Feelings are notoriously inaccurate, and when we’re on the cusp of harsh words, we first need to take inventory of our own moods. Help us to always look inward first and to have grace as our default status, because cleaning-up is more difficult than having prevented the spill… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to simply serve others. Politicians, in their fancy monkey suits, are full of lies, trying to convince the populace that they are serving, while they’re only serving themselves. Help us to have a heart to serve others, focusing on consistent small tasks, always looking to help move others forward, knowing that God will move us forward too… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to live like Noah. Sometimes we’re enlightened and motivated to work to prepare for events in the future, and sometimes we can be teased as we are proactively prudent. Help us to gain Your wisdom, to be proactive and prepared, but to also be willing to lend a helpful hand to others who need to meet 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 remember to bring Jesus everywhere we go. When we’re living our lives for God, and not simply ourselves, we need to be cognizant of bringing Jesus with us everywhere we go. Help us to be mindful and aware of love and Christ when transversing our paths, because God has us on collision courses with truth seekers… 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 forgive, but not necessarily to trust. Forgiveness is a central theme in our Christianity, but we need to remember that forgiveness does not equate to trust. Help us to freely forgive those who have wronged us, as forgiveness benefits us, but to stay prudent, and to allow time to build trust, realizing it may not possible… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to remove the eggshells. Having to ‘walk on eggshells’ around certain people is usually a symptom of a much larger problem, and removing those eggshells is helpful for moving successful relationships forward. Help us to recognize when the eggshells need to be cleaned-up, and to spend the time removing them as an investment in future profitable relationships… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to take time to enjoy hard-fought victories. When we have fully deployed our faith in our work and daily actions, we will achieve great outcomes, and we should take time to celebrate hard-fought victories. Help us to grasp the sweet fruit of good work, molding it into momentum for the future, always glorifying God as our target… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to help others open their eyes and ears. The noise in our society has become extremely loud, and many have disconnected as a means of survival and comfort. Help us to see and hear what Jesus himself warned us of, and to help the deaf and blind find truth, avoiding their silent march into death and destruction… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to seek security in Jesus. This world is changing quickly, and we can be tempted to quell the noise by running to seemingly safer places, not realizing that everywhere is circling the same drain. Help us to turn to You when our insecurities are dominating, and help us to be prudent in our decisions nested in insecurity… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to seek humility without warning. God wants the condition of our heats to be humble, and if we’re not in a humble state, he can compel to where he wants the condition of our hearts to be. Help us seek conditions of the heart voluntarily, because being compelled is painful, and glorifying God, not ourselves, is everything… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time for supernatural peace in our hearts. For most people in this world, peace simply means the absence of anxiety or irritation of the senses, however, supernatural peace can only come from God, through Jesus. Help us to be aware of our supernatural peace, and to create appetites likewise in others, constantly displaying the confidence our faith confirms… 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 support those whom we share fellowships with. Family and casual friendships are great, but fellowship in Jesus is powerful and purpose-driven, and should elicit a special urgency in our relationships. Help us to be deeply loyal and selfless in our relationships centered on God, always hoping to grow our fellowships in number and quality, glorifying 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 judge only our own sins. ‘Let ye who is without sin amongst you cast the first stone’, and there is not one of us innocent, so when contemplating others, we should discern carefully, but judge not. Help us to clearly see those who God is using, and to support righteousness, especially in our leaders of government… 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 part of the solution, not the problem. We all have our personal agendas, but it is important to keep our pride contained, and through our efforts, to remain within the scope of solving problems. Help us to constantly check our pride, to focus on contributing to the solutions to problems, glorifying God in the process… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to deploy God’s wisdom. Wisdom comes from God, and deploying God’s wisdom requires us to form an intersection of faith, strength, truth and grace. Help us to seek Your wisdom, and to deploy it in such a way that our reputations precede our introductions, and that our approach is calm and soothing to those available, glorifying God… 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 with those who are grieving. We can’t heal the grieving of others but we can be with those who are grieving, allowing our own personal experience to provide comfort, and sharing words that resonate. Help us to desire to pray for others in their down times, remaining available to help, and sensible in providing space… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to support friends through their trials. Spanning our lifetimes and the decades of our experiences, our lives go through similar trials, albeit scattered on different timelines. Help us to spread the comfort of wisdom learned to our friends experiencing trials similar to our past, supporting them the best we can, helping to reduce the footprint of pain… 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 available. It would sure be nice if everyone and everything adhered to our personal schedules, but the reality of life is far from organized. Help us to grow agile muscles, to be flexible in our schedules and tasks, and most importantly, remaining available to those who are in need of truth, always ready to share… 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 convey the appropriate tone when helping others. Everyone has boundaries, and understanding the boundaries of others is key to having access. Help us to use time and circumstances as our motivator to important conversations with others, allowing our messages to permeate slowly with familiar relevance, always respecting the boundaries of others, 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 and more time to let the personal knowledge fall into place before offering solutions. There are times when we see solutions to problems clearly, but we need collaboration with others to unite efforts. Help us to be patient in allowing our fellow collaborators to fill-in the blanks for themselves, not giving-in to our own sense of urgency, seeking organic union… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to leave gaps in our schedules. Efficient use of our time and planning are important, but trying to accomplish too much can make us unavailable to handle ad hoc tasks for God. Help us to plan for unassigned time in our days, allowing for tasks that we have not anticipated to be comfortably accommodated for, 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 live by God’s timing. We tend to like things organized and predictable, playing-out according to our plans, however, we have much more potential if we yield to God’s timing and our purpose within it. Help us to remember that You have the ultimate altitude, and you can see ALL simultaneously, and yielding to your timing optimizes… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to prepare for winter. The sun keeps us warm, sometimes to the point of being uncomfortable, but the winter’s cold can be dangerous, and destroy the things we depend upon for survival. Help us to be proactive in maintaining what we depend upon, using the warm days to remediate the damage of time for the winter ahead… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to bring Jesus into every detail. When we have a task to accomplish but we don’t see the path, remembering to bring Jesus into the details will assure success. Help us to always bring You into our work, knowing that our steps will be lit and success will be achieved in ways that exceed our own capabilities… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to show up. As we support those close to us, whether in our careers or personal lives, sometimes demonstrating meaningful support simply means showing up. Help us to be supportive to those close, realizing that it is not the tasks we perform, but rather our presence, and our availability to help that truly matters to those close… In Jesus’ name…
