Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to push through what seems to be holding us back. We never really know from day to day what obstacles or feelings we will need to overcome. Help us to be prudent in how we tackle the barriers to our progress, knowing when to pause or accelerate, and utilizing Your wisdom that you freely dispense to us… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to see the opportunities of the moment. Each day is different, and each day offers opportunities that are unique and not available on other days. Help us to avoid our stubborn and programmed ways, and instead to look and act upon each days' unique opportunities, allowing the small victories to fuel our passions and relationships with 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 move our activities as conditions change. If we are stuck in our ways, and exert great effort to stay in our ways, we are missing out on the variety of experiences that make our lives interesting and healthy. Help us to be flexible and to take advantage of the variety and opportunities available, delivered by You… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to focus on God’s pattern. We have the opportunity to see, in our daily lives, what we prefer to focus upon, and we are constantly surrounded by God’s pattern and Satan’s antipattern. Help us to be prudent to acknowledge that the antipattern is present, but to instead focus on God’s patterns in our lives, surrounded by blessings… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to let the Bible be our influencer. God personally breathed the words of the Bible, and the Word is given to us as the only influence we can truly count on. Help us to see through the tactics of Satan and those attempting to influence others driven by Satanic messaging, squaring our decisions against the holy 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 carry a bucket of grace. Moving forward in the right direction while glorifying God doesn’t mean ‘dancing on the graves’ of those who seem to have been defeated. Help us to have large buckets of grace, and please bless those who have been lifted to higher offices, realizing mulligans are rare, and God is in control… 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 pray for a genuine revival. Make no mistake about it, God not only has a bottomless bucket of grace, but he also has a reset button. Help us to realize when you’ve pressed the reset, and to seek your Holy Spirit, accordingly, helping to spark revival, because revival is always possible when reset has been pushed… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to remember that Grace prevents unnecessary clean ups.

Help us seek to create and abound in a culture of Grace, and to use the power of Grace to give us access to those who are difficult… 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 advantage of God’s geometry. Mathematics is important to God, and the geometry he’s created and deployed is intended for our benefit. Help us to slow-down and take notice of the geometry You’ve placed in our here and now, and for us to grow agility that takes selfless advantage, having much fuller lives 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 park our assumptions about others. We have no idea what’s happening in the minds of others, and our own minds can be plagued with doubt and uncertainty. Help us to unite in truth as defined by Your words, weaving relationships aligned with Jesus, and moving forward together to build on our purposes according to God’s plan… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to resist resting upon victories. God is moving, and God requires us to move with him as he answers our prayers and seeks to reach as many as possible. Help us to know deep within our hearts that Satan never gives-up, and we are to follow through with further victories, cleaning-up Satan’s mess thoroughly, for God’s purposes… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to know when inaction is positive action. Knowing when to tap the brakes is just as important as knowing when to accelerate. Help us to be connected with others on endeavors that grow your kingdom, and give us the wisdom to sense when our backing away is actually adding fuel to the momentum we helped to generate… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to simply show-up. Sometimes we just don’t have any words that encourage or are helpful, but simply showing-up can be impactful. Help us to open our calendars, to participate in activities, and to simply be present for those who need direction, even if we personally can’t provide meaningful suggestions, remaining available for the future planting of 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 act upon untapped potential. God grows our souls, if we allow him to, and when we’ve reached key milestones, he reveals landscapes of untouched potential for His kingdom. Help us to know when to cross the lines You’ve established in our purposes, and give us guidance to have a healthy pace in our approach to accomplishments… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and for more time to get out of the house. God wants us to enjoy the blessing he bestows, but staying too comfortable is not His intent, nor is it good for our souls. Help us to find the right balance between getting-out and staying home, remembering that the seasons change for a purpose, and glorifying God is an activity… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to read the room. This new season has brought much disruption to the forefront of the media, and we’re only a few days in. Help us to establish guardrails in our minds based on Your truth, and to observe what appears to be simultaneous tantrums, looking for opportunities to share truth, as God is getting people’s attention… 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 aware of how we present ourselves. We have quite a bit of control over how we present first impressions to others, and avoiding negative impressions can help us achieve access to plant seeds. Help us to respect the institutions we represent, always going a little further than we’re required to make good impressions, 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 seek God’s advice on everything. God’s view is perfect, therefore God’s advice regarding our situations in the world is perfect as well. Help us to always seek God’s advice when pondering decisions or actions, especially strategic decisions, because having a great strategy allows us to focus less on constantly deploying a wasteful defense of our actions… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to use archived materials. Listening well, consistent with the book of Proverbs, will yield an extensive library of archived material in our minds. Help us to deploy our stored knowledge for use in the here and now, following Your instructions closely, and helping to inform others to scratch their itch, all the while sowing seeds 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 participate in the activities available. Getting invited to participate in activities is a blessing, but we’re good at convincing ourselves that attending events is a burden. Help us to be more open to saying ‘yes’ when invited to participate with others, knowing that the conversations had can become fertile ground for God’s work in our lives… 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 tap into the power of a trio. Centering our efforts on shared values, and including Jesus in our equations, ensures success of our work, and the achievement of our goals. Help us to always remember to include You in our gatherings as we plan, lead, organize and control our efforts in building something bigger than ourselves… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to stand in the shadows. We’re all in the shadow of something or someone, but resisting standing in the light helps us to serve others well. Help us to always be in Your shadow, always seeking to raise others to Your light, surrendering to Your purposes in our lives, and glorifying You in all that we do… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to wait for the wind to settle. The wind comes and goes, it changes direction, and eventually it will settle, leaving stillness for a new normal, albeit temporary. Help us to have the patience to wait upon the new normal before putting efforts into our cadence, enjoying our blessings in the meantime, waiting on God’s perfect timing…  In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Sunday and more time to resist tearing others down. As we grow closer to God, and traverse the scriptures, our ability to see sinful behavior becomes more sensitized, sometimes to the point of extreme annoyance. Help us to deploy large buckets of grace, to resist public displays of annoyance, hoping to have opportunities in the future to lead people to Christ… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to reserve time on our calendars for God. Staying busy and organized in our day is important, but scheduling time for God’s use is even more important. Help us to not be too busy for God’s purposes in our lives, and to intentionally schedule blocks of time, unassigned, giving us the agility to react for God’s work... 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 our brothers and sisters in Christ. Until Jesus returns, we function in the world, and the problems of the world often run perpendicular to our beliefs and practices. Help us to support our fellow brothers and sisters in Jesus when challenged by the demands of the world, offering an ear and prayer for God’s intervention… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to accept referrals gladly. When we’re on a good path, according to God’s purposes in our lives, we become the recipients of referrals from fellow believers, and those who simply trust our judgements. Help us to gladly welcome all those who have been sent our way, to accommodate their schedules and quirky ways, all for God’s glory…  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 have fun in fellowship. Fellowships centered on Jesus are amazing vehicles for discussions rooted in the Bible, but they are also avenues for wholesome recreation. Help us to have fun within our fellowships, and to freely invite others to share our activities, allowing the joy to raise the attention for those who are desirous of truth… 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 aware of God’s timing. God’s timing is perfect, and we have autonomy within God’s timing to take advantage of opportunities, or to rely upon our own timing. Help us to seek and see Your timing, and to align our activities within, taking advantage of what You are offering, and relaxing into the tailwinds You supply… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to extend invitations when we don’t feel like doing so. Feelings are notoriously inaccurate, and when we live our lives according to our feelings, we risk being isolated, and falling short of our potential. Help us to be more active than we feel like being, inviting others into wholesome activities, allowing for opportunities to plant godly seeds… In Jesus’ name…
