Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday-eve and more time to steward continuous improvement. When God gifts us, then trusts us to use our gifting in ways that glorify Him, we need to deploy the guardrails in the book of Proverbs, and steward accordingly. Help us to deploy Your guardrails, and to steward circumstances in ways that exploit our gifts to promote others, all 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 take full advantage of our refuge. God has given us all a safe place to go and discuss anything, even the most personal and intimate thoughts we’d never share with anyone, and He wants us to take full advantage of it. Help us not just claim You’re our refuge, but to actually make You our refuge… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to know the difference between nations and principalities. All nations and their leadership are elected of God, and nations are aligned within principalities that have existed for thousands of years. Help us judge nations by the principalities they align with, as their fruit is obvious, and pray for leaders of nations whose principalities are aligned 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 stop chain reactions. Evil is always attempting to disrupt what is good, calm, and glorifying to God, but when evil is allowed to persist, it will eventually form a chain reaction that is much more difficult to overcome. Help us to root-out evil when it manifests, knowing that prevention is worth many pounds of painful cure… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to know and share our scriptures. Living well and displaying clarity in these really weird times stands out to some, and giving the lost opportunity for direction is the mandate we should live by. Help us to display such clarity that we can attract those savable, and help us know exactly which seeds to plant for 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 make conversations happen. Initiating conversations can be difficult for some, but breaking down silos is our first step in establishing relationships that may lead to new fellowships. Help us to find benign reasons to establish new conversations, always respecting proper boundaries and establishing trust over time, leading to profitable relationships that become fertile ground for fellowships… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to help friends see what they’re struggling with. We all have blind spots, and when our blind spots are causing friction with our leaders, we need to pause, listen to advice, and span our gaps before moving forward, risking further division. Help us to help our friends when we see what they’re struggling to see, glorifying 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 notice those who openly offend God. There are many among us who openly offend God, sometimes in subtle, but intentional ways, using the camouflage of the world to justify their norms and actions. Help us take notice, adjusting our expectations, accordingly, and dealing with them as who they actually are, not who they project they are… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Friday and more time to run in God’s direction. Our lives are full of patterns and antipatterns, and when we’re living our purposes, according to God, our patterns should be evident, including speed-bumps. Help us to keep our minds focused on running toward something, not running away, understanding that escape is often tied to pride, but purpose is tied to God… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to relax into God’s plan. On a micro and macro level, God’s plan is at work within us and around us, and when we reach new vistas, and can see our surroundings well, we should take joy, and move forward confidently. Help us move forward with clear vision, moving at Your speed, not our own, glorifying You… 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 biased. A lack of clear understanding between right and wrong can lead to a life of chaos, lacking order and discipline, resulting in a lot of collateral damage, and death. Help us to develop healthy bias in our lives, to study your scriptures intently, and to have just enough grace to soften healthy biases into prudence… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to dispense grace to those who are trying to help. We all have situations where we can become annoyed or inconvenienced, where bureaucracy may be involved on a path to the solution, but we need to recognize and appreciate those willing to offer help. Help us to dispense grace freely to those who only want to help… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to hand the ladder down. We’ve all had trials and tribulations, but we need to remember that God sends us help in the form of wisdom, friends in fellowship, and the Holy Spirit. Help us remember those who stepped-in to help us when we stumbled, handing others the ladder we were given, emerging stronger, always glorifying 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 understand what success means, before heading down paths. When heading down paths to solve problems, having a crystal clear understanding of success helps us to avoid pitfalls and confusion. Help us to resist the temptation to move quickly, and instead focus on the definition of success, avoiding emotional outcomes, and ultimately solving problems that 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 draw pictures. The old saying, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’, rings true, and when we become frustrated in aligning with others, sometimes we need to go to our box of crayons, and simply color our way to clarity. Help us be creative in our communication style, favoring pictures over raising our voice, 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 be graceful in our pursuit of fairness. When we’ve been wronged, and find ourselves stuck in processes designed for corruption, our frustrations can sometimes cause us to react in ways that lack grace. Help us be motivated to find creative paths to solutions that solve problems, quickly identifying blockers, escalating higher, beginning with advice from You… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to finish what we’ve started. Situations have a tendency to change our relationships with others, but when we’ve headed down a path for God, seeking to instill truth in others, we should strive to finish well, in spite of changes in situations. Help us stay connected, regardless of how busy we are, dispensing truth, and 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 spread truth. We are inundated in false agendas and lies, and the only legitimate source of truth was, is, and will always be, our scriptures. Help us to KNOW Your scriptures, to apply the lessons of the past to our everyday circumstances, reaping success in our relationships, both personal and professional, earning 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 recognize those who help. If we all had an attitude of service and helping others, this world would be a kinder place, so when others go out of their way to help us, we should go out of our way to acknowledge their help. Help us always serve others well, and acknowledge when we’ve received help… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Tuesday and more time to help someone find the tiniest pebble of their faith. The bar for entering Heaven is set very low, because God can perfect us only if we have faith in God. Help us aim low with those who lack salvation, knowing that even the smallest seed of faith is something God can work with, simple as that… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to turn the lights on. Receiving wisdom is amazingly powerful in moving us forward in ways that glorify God, but sharing wisdom, and helping to create clarity in others, is powerful, life-changing, and fun. Help us to nurture relationships that foster trust, and let trust move us forward in sharing wisdom, watching for the light to turn-on… 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 lead from behind. Raising up others, and helping to push large loads, produces more for God to work with, and knowing when to push, versus pull, is important for success. Help us be motivating, yet aware of boundaries, to be inspiring, yet not seeking the limelight, and to help others achieve success, 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 and more time to support young talent. When introduced to those who may be much younger, and clearly blessed with abundant talent, who have a drive for success, and a motor for hard work, we should do everything we can to instill an appetite for God in their careers. Help us plant Your seeds in those who have bright futures… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Saturday and more time to help others see the purpose of consequences. Living our lives apart from God will certainly result in a series of life’s consequences, designed to garner attention in an ever increasing way, until the mulligans have ceased. Help us to illustrate to those who need You, using their own experiences as examples of God seeking their 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 use our roots as motivation. Everyone has circumstances to overcome, whether they are seen or not, and focusing on victimhood moves nobody forward. Help us use our circumstances to strengthen our resolve in serving God, helping others to do the same, and resisting the evil of a civilization built upon the altar of a victim mentality… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Monday and more time to gather with our friends in fellowship. When we are brought together in our daily routines, working alongside one another, it is good and refreshing to occasionally meet outside of the norm, allowing the topics of our conversations to vary. Help us to occasionally prioritize the social aspects of our relationships, coming together outside of our routines… 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 discomfort. When God wants us to move, to change direction or transition seasons, he slowly makes the familiar uncomfortable, allowing the pain to move us in new directions. Help us to use our pain for improvement, staying close to God in prayer, and asking the Holy Spirit to guide our ways into new comfortable proximities… In Jesus’ name…

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name I pray for my friends in fellowship. Thank you for this Wednesday and more time to seek deeper understandings. There is such a thing as working too hard, and when our efforts to achieve exceed our need for deeper understanding, we become unbalanced. Help us seek deeper understanding continuously, to work on a healthy balance between driving efforts and cultural assessments, remembering to bring Jesus and prayer into every effort and thought… 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 understand the difference between the spiritual and temporal. The key to our faith is spiritual, and unless we have been spiritually born again, we will never experience the kingdom of God. Help us know the difference between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God, freely accepting God’s Kingdom in our hearts, encouraging others 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 show up. There are certain people who may give us a dose of the heebie-jeebies, but avoiding them entirely is not the prudent path. Help us to establish proper boundaries with those who trigger the heebie-jeebies, and to allow our good work to overshadow their attempts to control beyond their expertise, always seeking to glorify God… 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 opening doors. Investing time in others, while deploying God’s guardrails, eventually results in doors becoming unlatched, unleashing opportunities that did not exist prior. Help us to walk through the doors that have opened due to concentrated efforts of mind and heart, keeping God’s guardrails firmly in place, only seeking to glorify God… In Jesus’ name…
