Jesus spoke about the future he told us about the Great deception that will come when many will falsely say I am the Christ and many will be led astray Jesus spoke of wars and rumors of wars he said many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another but then he also spoke of his return and how he will appear with all power and Glory he spoke of a day and an hour that no one knows not even the angels of Heaven nor the son but the the father only and all throughout Matthew
CH 24 I believe he was setting the groundwork for him to explain the parable of the 10 virgins in Matthew 25: 1 to13 the Bible reads then the kingdom of heaven will be like 10 bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom five of them were foolish and five were wise the five who were foolish didn't take enough olive oil for their lamps but the other five were wise Enough To Take Along extra oil when the bridegroom was delayed they all became drowsy and fell asleep at midnight they were roused by the
shout look the bridegroom is coming come out and meet him all the Bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps then the five foolish ones asked the others please give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out but the others replied we don't have enough for all of us go to a shop and buy some For yourselves but while they were gone to buy oil the bridegroom came then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast and the door was locked later when the other five bridesmaids returned they stood
outside calling Lord Lord open the door for us but he called back believe me I don't know you so you too must keep watch for you do do not know the day or hour of my return this is an interesting Parable Because it paints a picture of two types of people two types of Christians even the wise Among Us are diligent when it comes to the things of God but the foolish Among Us are complacent the wise Among Us take heed to the warnings in the Bible the foolish Among Us pay no mind to the
warning in God's word the wise Among Us are prayerful they're patiently waiting they're expectant of the Lord's return but the foolish the foolish one Says tomorrow I'll get right with God tomorrow I'll pray tomorrow but tomorrow is not promised dear friend the wise Among Us Will Be watchful they'll see the sign of the times because they study God's word but the foolish the foolish will fall asleep they will miss the signs because of a lack of knowledge pray for wisdom saints of God we ought to be wise in these times that We live in we
ought to be Spirit-filled and spirit-led we ought to get our lives ready and stay ready waiting for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to fulfill his promise let us pray Lord Jesus you are great you are Mighty and you are worthy to be praised Lord Jesus help us to be wise give us wisdom and understanding as we study your word help us to truly Comprehend the truth that is in the Bible so that we can discern earn the evil in this day and age guide us Lord so that we would not be a people that
are lost and blinded to the truth and the signs of your return Matthew 24:4 says and Jesus answered them see that no one leads you astray Lord help us to be wise so that we can identify those who are wolves in sheep's Clothing help us to be wise so that we can discern the false Apostles and prophets in our time let us not be led into error let our ears not be fond of a gospel message that is watered down only to make us feel good however father we want and we need the true and
Full Gospel of Jesus Christ a gospel that calls us to repent and forsake our sinful ways a gospel that calls us to take up Our cross and follow you Matthew 24: 11-14 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people because of the increase of wickedness the love of most will grow cold but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved and this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to All Nations and then the end will come father even as lawlessness increases I pray
that the love of the Lord will remain strong in our lives let our love as as children of God never grow cold May our hearts remain sensitive to your voice May our hearts remain soft and receptive to your voice Lord Jesus and even as Sin is prevalent in this world may we remain pure and upright through the strength of the Holy Spirit Psalm 25: 20-21 says guard my life and rescue me do not let Me be put to shame for I take refuge in you may integrity and uprightness protect me because my hope Lord is
in you help us to be men and women with Integrity in a lawless World help us to be people who stand up for righteousness let us not be contaminated be the sin and filth of this world Lord and should we be tempted should our flesh fall into temptation be our strength Lord Jesus and help us to Resist your word in 1 Corinthians 10:3 says no temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man God is faithful and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability but with the Temptation he will also provide
the way of Escape that you may be able to endure it thank you Lord Jesus for being a God who will provide way for us to escape the tentacles of sin each and every time That we're tempted help us Lord so that we will never lose sight of the Blessed hope which is your return help us to Be watchful to live carefully and prayerfully so that we may always be in a state of Readiness for your return may you always be our heart's desire thank you for listening to this prayer King Jesus amen then the
kingdom of heaven will be like 10 bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom five of them were foolish and five were wise the five who were foolish didn't take enough olive oil for their lamps but the other five were wise Enough To Take Along extra oil when the bridegroom was delayed they all became drowsy and fell asleep at midnight they were roused by the shout look the bridegroom is coming Come out and meet him all the Bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps then the five foolish ones asked the others please
give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out but the others replied we don't have enough for all of us go to a shop and buy some for yourselves but while they were gone to buy oil the bridegroom came then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast and the door was Locked later when the other five bridesmaids returned they stood outside calling Lord Lord Lord open the door for us but he called back believe me I don't know you so you too must keep watch for you do
not know the day or hour of my return there is a parable in the Bible of a man who made many many plans but paid no mind to God his Focus was only on the things he desired his Focus was only on the material things that he accumulated when instead his Focus Really should have been Jesus Christ Luke 12: 13-21 reads then one from the crowd said to him teacher tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me but he said to him man who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you and he
said to them take heed and be A Ware of covetousness for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses then he spoke a parable to them saying the ground of a certain rich Man yielded plentiful and he thought within himself saying what shall I do since I have no room to store my crops so he said I will do this I will pull down my Barns and build greater and there I will store all my crops and my goods and I will say to my soul soul you have many Goods
laid up for many years take your ease eat drink and be married but God said to him fool this night your soul will be required of you then whose will those things be which You have provided so is he who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God people of God learn this lesson we only have so much time on this world and we have no time to waste it do you know what I found I found that life is full of surprises in fact my walk with God has been full of
surprises I made plans I wrote down my Goals and dream dreams I expected everything to go right I expected things to go my way but the thing is we can make plans we can write down our goals and our targets however here's what the Bible says Proverbs 19: 21 many are the plans in the mind of a man but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand now there is a danger in making plans without acknowledging the fact that God is ultimately in control and that tomorrow is not promised after all The Bible
does say in James 4: 13-15 come now you who say today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring what is your life for you you are a Mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes instead you ought to say if the Lord Wills we will live and do this or that now how many of us really live like this whereby we make our plans yes but Still acknowledge that God has
the final say when was the last time you said if the Lord Wills I will live and do this or that now don't get me wrong it's good to be wise and save it's good to make retirement plans it's good to work hard with your hands and build a better life for you and your family those things are good but it's crucial for you to invest in your relationship with God it's crucial for You to invest in the treasures that are in heaven it's crucial for you to live life knowing that eternity lasts forever but
this world is only passing by now let us pray dear Lord have mercy on me forgive me if I have put more effort in the things of this world as opposed to Heavenly things forgive me if I invested more time in building things here on Earth as opposed to storing up Treasures in Heaven your word in Matthew 6: 19- 21 says do not lay up for yourselves Treasures on Earth where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal but lay up for yourself Treasures in Heaven where neither moth nor rust destroys and
where thieves do not break in and steal for where your treasure is there your heart will be also Lord I pray that you would give me a heart that seeks Heavenly Treasures Above Earthly things I pray that the material things of this world would not have any kind of hold on me I pray that my eyes and heart would never be drawn to chase the riches of this world or the silver and gold of this world instead King Jesus I pray that I would be richly filled with the Holy Spirit I pray that I would
be richly filled with the love of God in my heart a love that seeks to minister to the unsaved and help the poor may I be Richly filled with a love from God so that I can serve the body of Christ and do all I can to spread the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ father help me to realize that Earthly treasure Earthly crowns are temporary they are short-lived and any riches in this world are perishable however I know that you Lord Jesus offer a greater treasure than anything on this Earth father your
word in James 1 and12 says blessed is the man who endures Temptation for when he has been approved he will receive the Crown of Life which the Lord has promised to those who love him help me father to endure the Temptations of this world strengthen me holy spirit so that I can resist the advances of the devil because in doing so there is the reward of the Crown of Life father I desire to be rewarded with the crown of righteousness your word in 2 Timothy chapter 4:8 says finally there is laid Up for me the
crown of righteousness which the Lord the righteous judge will give to me on that day and not to me only but also to all all who have loved his appearing I pray that the Holy Spirit would help me and strengthen me to live a life that is pleasing to you Lord Jesus you are the only one who can offer Eternal riches Eternal crowns and blessings in your presence forever more and so father I have decided to let go Of this world I choose to leave the luxuries afforded to me in this world all so that
I can focus on you King Jesus let me not be distracted by the things of this world or even by my own personal plans but may I be forever engaged in the pursuit of righteousness you Lord Jesus are worth far more than all the silver and gold offered in this world my true riches lie in you and I Rejoice because of that I honor you and I Lift Your Name on High Be glorified Lord Jesus amen one of our biggest resources as Christians is prayer prayer for us as Believers is power it's our lifeline and
it's a powerful tool it allows us to knock on Heaven's Door and get God's attention and throughout the Bible we see so many men and women who tapped into the power of prayer their situation might have been different their circumstances may have been different but the one thing they Had in common is that they prayed for example the Bible says in 1 Chronicles 4: 10 and JZ called on the god of Israel saying oh that you would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory that your hand would be with me and that you would keep
me from Evil that I may not cause pain so God God granted him what he requested the Bible when speaking of Hannah it says in 1st Samuel 1 verse 10 and she was in bitterness of soul and Prayed unto the Lord and wept sore when Hezekiah fell ill the Bible says in 2 Kings 20: 2-3 then he turned his face toward the wall and prayed to the Lord saying remember now oh Lord I pray how I have walked before you in truth and with a loyal heart and have done what was good in your sight
and Hezekiah wept bitterly and because of his prayer the Lord answered him in verse 5 as the Bible Reads return and tell Hezekiah the leader of my people thus says the Lord the god of David your father I have heard your prayer I have seen your tears surely I will heal you on the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord the Bible also tells us in Jonah 2:1 then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly and in a story we're very familiar with Paul and Silas
were imprisoned but the Bible says In Acts 16 verse 25 and at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang Praises unto God and the prisoners heard them so do you see a pattern here in all the verses that I've read Hezekiah on his deathbed prayed Jonah in the belly of a fish prayed Hannah in deep anguish prayed JZ when seeking a blessing prayed so you see prayer is a necessity for us the Bible gives us all these Different kinds of examples of men and women who sought after the Lord in prayer so that we can
learn and be encouraged that we need to pray too no matter where you are God can hear you if you pray whether you're underwater God can hear you if you're at the end of your life God can still hear you no matter your situation I encourage you to pray because prayer still works God still hears prayers the Lord still answers Prayers if you call unto the Lord his word says I will show you Great and Mighty things which you do not know you see Jesus Christ is faithful and he's merciful so so what you must
do is cry out in faith and so now let us approach the throne of God together and let's do what we've been encouraged to do let us pray no matter where life finds you in this moment pray pray to the God who hears who sees who knows pray to the god whose ear is is attentive to your Prayer Lord Jesus we give you praise and honor we glorify your name and we're thankful for your goodness God give us Grace in our prayer lives and strengthen us to pray with fervency to pray with boldness and Faith
strengthen our prayer lives Master the Bible tells me that Jesus while on this Earth prayed he prayed in the morning he prayed often he would separate himself from those around him just so he could go pray father I pray for that same Discipline I pray for that same heart of prayer God give us a strong desire to pray may it become a habit in our lives Lord let it become a part of our routine part of our LIF lifestyle God we pray this in jesus' name let us become believers who when faced with anything our
first instinct is to turn to the Lord in prayer if we're struggling with anything May the Holy Spirit remind us to pray before we seek Solutions Elsewhere in the Bible Daniel Prayed and he kept praying until you gave him an answer father give us that same Relentless Spirit to pray and to keep seeking you until our breakthrough comes help us to keep persevering and fighting on our knees never giving up never stopping until we hear from you father I understand that a prayerless Christian is powerless a prayerless Christ Christi is Disconnected to their only source
of power and that's you Lord so right now we ask that the Holy Spirit would be our strength we ask that the holy spirit will help us to pray and pray often help us to be diligent and alert so that we would not be distracted by anything or by anyone when it's time to pray Lord Jesus we thank you right now now for the victory that is in your name and Lord as we agree in prayer help us To never leave the door open to the kingdom of darkness because of a lack of prayer help
us to never let our guard down when it comes to prayer God release an unquenchable desire within our hearts to pray make us prayer warriors in your kingdom Lord Jesus make us prayer warriors who are dedicated and committed to maintaining a close relationship with you father give us the strength and the discipline to get on our knees every day Acts 2:1 17 says and it shall come to pass in the last days saith God I will pour out of my spirit upon All Flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and your young men
shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams Lord Jesus pour out your spirit in our lives father right now we pray that you would revive our prayer Lives May you birth a new passion within us a passion father that is Prayer I desire to experience your presence father please don't pass by without pouring out your spirit over our lives and our our homes I pray that I would be a believer who is sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit whenever he leads me to pray father help us all to make sure that
we're never so busy with worldly things that we would end up missing a Divine appointment with you father we pray that our hearts would Always put you first I pray that my passion would only be for the things of God and Lord right now we pray that you would be glorified and magnified King Jesus be lifted High We bless your name and we thank you for hearing this prayer it's in the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray amen and amen my heavenly father We Trust in you we trust in you Lord Jesus to sustain
and provide for us we trust in you to Preserve and protect us to defend us and to Shield us from all evil I pray Lord that in those moments when we are weak strengthen our faith help us holy spirit so that we should not Harden our hearts but help us to believe help us to believe fully and without without reservation and all the promises of God father help me to fearlessly believe in Exodus 14:14 it says the Lord will fight for You and you shall hold your peace God help us to boldly embrace your word
help us to embrace it boldly with no doubt help us to declare and hold on to Isaiah 40: 29-31 he gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength they will soar on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will Walk and not be faint I pray for strong faith God I pray that I may stand up for Jesus Christ and testify of how he turned my
mourning into dancing give me strong faith Lord so that I may stand on your word in a world that is lost in a world that aims to discourage and drain hope as your children we pray for the faith that will enable us to live in The Authority that we have been given in Luke 10: 19 behold I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you give us the Faith Lord Jesus to Walk In This Authority as ambassadors of
the most high Lord I Thank You for Your unending love you King Jesus are the Wellspring of our hope so even if life disappoints and Friends turn their backs on us God We're grateful that we can always count on you to be our Rock and our refuge John 7:38 says he who believes in me as the scripture has said out of his heart will flow rivers of Living Water father May the rivers of living water flow from every part of our Lives May your living water flow over our hearts and souls HS and fill us
with Faith Lord I look forward to a future with you I embrace a future that is in your hands one that's filled with love Filled with mercy and with goodness as I reach out in prayer and in faith I place my hopes my dreams and plans all in your hands so as long as you are for me Lord Jesus nothing can stand against me I will continue to place my faith in you because you are a God who has held me up every time I didn't have the strength to stand on my own father I

enough For all of us go to a shop and buy some for yourselves but while they were gone to buy oil the bridegroom came then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast and the door was locked later when the other five bride Maids returned they stood outside calling Lord Lord open the door for us but he called back believe me I don't know you so you too must keep watch for you do not know the day or hour of my Return there is a parable in the Bible of a man
who made many many plans but paid no mind to God his Focus was only on the things he desired his Focus was only on the material things that he accumulated when instead his Focus really should have been Jesus Christ Luke 12: 13-21 reads then one from the crowd said to him teacher tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me but he said to him man who made me a judge or an arbitr Traer over you and he said to them take heed and beware of covetousness for one's life does not consist in the abundance
of the things he possesses then he spoke a parable to them saying the ground of a certain rich man yielded plentiful and he thought within himself saying what shall I do since I have no room to store my crops so he said I will do this I will pull down my Barns and build greater and there I will store all my crops and my Goods and I will say to my soul soul you have many Goods laid up for many years take your ease eat drink and be marry but God said to him fool this
night your soul will be required of you then whose will those things be which you have provided so is he who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God people of God learned this lesson we only have so much time on this world and we have no Time to waste it do you know what I found I found that life is full of surprises in fact my walk with God has been full of surprises I made plans I wrote down my goals and dreams I expected everything to go right I expected things
to go my way but the thing is we can make plans we can write down our goals and our targets however here's what the Bible says Proverbs 19: 21 many are the plans in the mind of a man but it is the purpose of the Lord That will stand now there is a danger in making plans without acknowledging the fact that God is ultimately in control and that tomorrow is not promised after all the Bible does say in James chapter 4: 13-15 come now you who say today or tomorrow we will go into such and
such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring what is your life for you are a Mist that appears for A little time and then vanishes instead you ought to say if the Lord Wills we will live and do this or that now how many of us really live like this whereby we make our plans yes but still acknowledge that God has the final say when was the last time you said if the Lord Wills I will live and do this or
that now don't get me wrong it's good to be wise and save it's good to make retirement plans It's good to work hard with your hands and build a better life for you and your family those things are good but it's crucial for you to invest in your relationship with God it's crucial for you to invest in the Treasure measures that are in heaven it's crucial for you to live life knowing that eternity lasts forever but this world is only passing by now let us pray dear Lord have mercy on me forgive me if I
Have put more effort in the things of this world as opposed to Heavenly things forgive me if I invested more time in building things here on Earth as opposed to storing up Treasures in Heaven your word in Matthew 6: 19- 21 says do not lay up for yourselves Treasures on Earth where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal but lay up for yourself Treasures in Heaven where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break In and steal for where your treasure is there your heart will be also so
Lord I pray that you would give me a heart that seeks Heavenly Treasures above Earthly things I pray that the material things of this world would not have any kind of hold on me I pray that my eyes and heart would never be drawn to chase the riches of this world or the silver and gold of this world instead King Jesus I pray that I Would be richly filled with the Holy Spirit I pray that I would be richly filled with the love of God in my heart a love that seeks to minister to the
unsaved and help the poor may I be richly filled with a love from God so that I can serve the body of Christ and do all I can to spread the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ father help me to realize that Earthly treasure Earthly crowns are Temporary they are short-lived and any riches in this world are perishable however I know that you Lord Jesus offer a greater treasure than anything on this Earth father your word in James 1 and 12 says blessed is the man who endures Temptation for when he has been
approved he will receive the Crown of Life which the Lord has promised to those who love him help me father to endure the Temptations of this world strengthen me holy spirit so that I can resist the advances of the devil because in doing so there is the reward of the Crown of Life father I desire to be rewarded with the crown of righteousness your word in 2 Timothy 4:8 says finally there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord the righteous judge will give to me me on that day and not
to me only but also to all who have loved his Appearing I pray that the Holy Spirit would help me and strengthen me to live a life that is pleasing to you Lord Jesus you are the only one who can offer Eternal riches Eternal crowns and blessings in your presence forever more and so father I have decided to let go of this world I choose to leave the luxury is afforded to me in this world all so that I can focus on you King Jesus let me not be distracted by the things of this world

the Bible we see so many men and women who tapped into the power of prayer their situations might have been different their circumstances may have been different but the one thing they had in common is that they prayed for example the Bible says in 1st Chronicles 4: 10 and Jaz called on the god of Israel saying oh that you would Bless me indeed and enlarge my territory that your hand would be with me and that you would Keep Me From Evil that I may not cause pain so God granted him what he requested the Bible
when speaking of Hannah it says in 1st Samuel 1: 10 and she was in bitterness of soul and prayed unto the Lord and wept sore when Hezekiah fell ill the Bible says in 2 Kings 20: 2-3 then he turned his face toward the Wall and prayed to the Lord saying remember now oh Lord I pray how I have walked before you in truth and with a loyal heart and have done what was good in your sight and Hezekiah wept bitterly and because of his prayer the Lord answered him in verse 5 as the Bible reads
return and tell Hezekiah the leader of my people people thus says the Lord the god of David your father I have heard your prayer I have seen your tears Surely I will heal you on the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord the Bible also tells us in Jonah 2:1 then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly and in a story we're very familiar with Paul and Silas were imprisoned but the Bible says in Acts 16:25 and at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang Praises
unto God and the prisoners heard them so do you see a pattern here in all The verses that I've read Hezekiah on his deathbed prayed Jonah in the belly of a fish prayed Hannah in deep anguish prayed JZ when seeking a blessing prayed so you see prayer is a necessity for us the Bible gives us all these different kinds of examples of men and women who sought after the Lord in prayer so that we can learn and be encouraged that we need to pray too no matter where you are God can hear You if you
pray whether you're underwater God can hear you if you're at the end of your life God can still hear you no matter your situation I encourage you to pray because prayer still works God still hears prayers the Lord still answers prayers if you call unto the Lord his word says I will show you Great and Mighty things which you do not know you see Jesus Christ is faithful and he's merciful so what you must do is cry out In faith and so now let us approach the throne of God together and let's do what we've
been encouraged to do let us pray no matter where life finds you in this moment pray pray to the God who hears who sees who knows pray to the god whose ear is attentive to your prayer Lord Jesus we give you praise and honor we glorify your name and we're thankful for your goodness God give us Grace in our prayer Lives and strengthen us to pray with fervency to pray with boldness and Faith strengthen our prayer lives master the Bible tells me that Jesus while on this Earth prayed he prayed in the morning he prayed
often he would separate himself from those around him just so he could go pray father I pray for that same discipline I pray for that same heart of prayer God give us a strong desire to pray may it become a habit in our lives Lord let it become a part of our routine part of our lifestyle God we pray this in jesus' name let us become believers who when faced with anything our first instinct is to turn to the Lord in prayer if we're struggling with anything May the Holy Spirit remind us to pray before
we seek Solutions elsewhere in the Bible Daniel Prayed and he kept praying until you gave him an answer father give us that same Relentless Spirit to pray and to keep seeking you until our breakthrough comes help us to keep persevering and fighting on our knees never giving up never stopping until we hear from you father I understand that a prayerless Christian is powerless a prayerless Christian is disconnected to their only source of power and that's you Lord so right now we ask that the Holy Spirit would be our strength we ask that the holy spirit
Will help us to pray and pray often help us to be diligent and alert so that we would not be distracted by anything or by anyone when it's time to pray Lord Jesus we thank you right now for the victory that is in your name and Lord as we agree in prayer help us to never leave the door open to the kingdom of darkness because of a lack of prayer help us to never let our guard down when it comes to Prayer God release an unquenchable desire within our hearts to pray make us prayer warriors
in your kingdom Lord Jesus make us prayer warriors who are dedicated and committed to maintaining a close relationship with you father give us the strength and the discipline to get on our knees every day Acts 2 verse 17 says and it shall come to pass in the last days sayith God I will pour out of my spirit upon All Flesh and your sons and your daughters shall profit prophesy and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams Lord Jesus pour out your spirit in our lives father right now we pray

Lord that in those moments when we are weak strengthen our faith help us holy spirit so that we should not Harden our hearts but help us to believe help us to believe fully and without reservation in all the promises of God father help me to fearlessly believe in Exodus 14:14 it says the Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your Peace God help us to boldly embrace your word help us to embrace it boldly with no doubt help us to Clare and hold on to Isaiah 40: 29-31 he gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength they will soar on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint I pray for strong faith God I pray that I may stand up for Jesus Christ and testify of how he turned my mourning into dancing give me strong faith Lord so that I may stand on your word in a world that is lost in a world that
aims to discourage and drain [Music] hope as your children we pray for the faith that will enable us to live in the authority That we have been given in Luke 10: 19 behold I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you give us the Faith Lord Jesus to Walk In This Authority as ambassadors of the most high Lord I Thank You for Your unending love you King Jesus are the Wellspring of our hope so even if life disappoints
and Friends turn their backs on us God We're grateful that we can always count on you to be our Rock and our refuge John 7:38 says he who believes in me as the scripture has said out of his heart will flow rivers of Living Water father May the rivers of living water flow from every part of our lives may your living water flow over our hearts and souls and fill us with Faith Lord I look forward to a future with you I embrace a future that is in your hands one that's filled with love Filled
with mercy and with goodness as I reach out in prayer and in faith I place my hopes my dreams and plans all in your hands so as long as you are for me Lord Jesus nothing can stand against me I will continue to place my faith in you because you are a God who has held me up every time I didn't have the strength to stand on my own father I thank you for being so faithful and I bless your holy Name it's in the mighty and matchless name of King Jesus our lord that we
pray this prayer amen I Praise You Lord Jesus I pray that you would see me in the middle of this challenge I am facing I pray that your hand would mercifully lift me up from this situation and Deliver Me Lord I pray the words in Psalm 18 verse 1-6 and I say I love you oh Lord my strength the Lord is my rock and my Fortress and my deliverer my God my rock in whom I take refuge my shield and the Horn of my salvation my stronghold I call upon the Lord who is worthy to
be praised and I am saved from my enemies the cords of death Encompass me the torren of Destruction assailed me the cords of shol entangled me the snares of death confronted Me in my distress I called upon the Lord to my God I cried for help from his Temple he heard my voice and my cry to him reached his ears I pray that you would Rescue Me King Jesus and make a way where there seems to be no way I come to you father with all that I have you have promised in your word to
take the heavy load I carry you've promised to take my burdens and so I bring all that bothers Me I bring all that weighs me down to your feet I pray that I would hear your voice speaking despite the storm I face despite the challenge I face may your voice be the ruling authority over my Affairs the Bible says in Psalm 29:4 the voice of the Lord is powerful The Voice voice of the Lord is majestic so I ask that you would look down on me mercifully and speak the Words peace be still help me
master to continue to persevere even in the middle of this challenge I face cast out the fear and invade my mind my thoughts and my heart with faith faith in your word faith in your promises promises that I will continue to hold on to because even though I may face challenges I am promised peace that surpasses human Understanding so my prayer Lord Jesus is that you would lead me move with with me walk with me and speak to me continuously May the Holy Spirit be my counselor and the still Small Voice that guides me when
fear tries to attack me and if worry tries to overwhelm me I pray that the Holy Spirit Will Empower me to overcome and to defeat the spirit of fear in Jesus name though the challenge I face May last longer than I would like though it May be uncomfortable keep me from becoming discouraged Lord give me the pure joy of the Lord so that I will be strong and if my heart is to feel burdened and weary may I find rest in you may you leave lead me to greener pastures Jesus great is your faithfulness father
your word in Psalm 29: 10 and 11 says the Lord sits enthroned over the flood the Lord is enthroned as king Forever the Lord gives strength to his people the Lord blesses his people with peace be blessed and lifted High Lord Jesus it's because of you that I can overcome any challenge I face it's because of you that I can be victorious in all of my Affairs and so I thank you Lord I confess that everything I come against anything that comes to frustrate or pull me backwards is already defeated did in Jesus name any
Spirit any giant or Stronghold I bring it down in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord I Thank You For You have given me a spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind so I pray that you would help me so that the things of this world may not affect me so much that they would result in me losing my peace I pray that your peace may be like a shield around me May it protect me from being discouraged and from losing Hope may your peace put aside all anxious thoughts in my
mind give me the grace to overcome the troubles that I may face Lord you deserve all praise for your Tender Mercies and kindness you have been good to me you continue to be good to me and so I will bless your name every day in Jesus name I pray Amen in Matthew chap 24 Jesus spoke About the future he told us about the great deception that will come when many will falsely say I am the Christ and many will be led astray Jesus spoke of wars and rumors of wars he said many will fall away
and betray one another and hate one another but then he also spoke of his return and how he will appear with all power and Glory he spoke of a day and an hour that no one knows not even the angels of Heaven nor the son but the father Only and all throughout Matthew chap 24 I believe he was setting the groundwork for him to explain the parable of the 10 virgins in Matthew 25 verse 1-13 the Bible reads then the kingdom of heaven will be like 10 bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet
the bridegroom five of them were foolish and five were wise the five who were foolish Didn't take enough olive oil for their lamps but the other five were wise Enough To Take Along extra oil when the bridegroom was delayed they all became drowsy and fell asleep at midnight they were roused by the shout look the bridegroom is coming come out and meet him all the Bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps then the five foolish ones asked the others please give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out but The others replied
we don't have enough for all of us go to a shop and buy some for yourselves but while they were gone to buy oil the bridegroom came then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast and the door was locked later when the other five bridesmaids returned they stood outside calling Lord Lord open the door for us but he called back believe me I don't know you so you too Must keep watch for you do not know the day or hour of my return this is an interesting Parable because it paints
a picture of two types of people two types of Christians even the wise Among Us are diligent when it comes to the things of God but the foolish Among Us are complacent the wise Among Us take heed to the warnings in the Bible the foolish Among Us pay no mind to the warnings in God's word the wise Among Us are prayerful They're patiently waiting they're expectant of the Lord's return but the foolish the foolish one says tomorrow I'll get right with God tomorrow I'll pray tomorrow but tomorrow is not promised dear friend the wise Among
Us Will Be watchful they'll see the signs of the times because they study God's word but the foolish the foolish will fall asleep they will miss the signs because of a Lack of knowledge pray for wisdom saints of God we ought to be wise in these times that we live in we ought to be spirit filled and spirit L we ought to get our lives ready and stay ready waiting for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to fulfill his promise let us pray Lord Jesus you are great you are Mighty and you are worthy to
be praised Lord Jesus help us to be wise Give us wisdom and understanding as we study your word help us to truly comprehend the truth that is in the Bible so that we can discern the evil in this day and age guide us Lord so that we would not be a people that are lost and blinded to the truth and the signs of your return Matthew 24:4 says and Jesus answered them see that no one leads you astray Lord help us to be wise so that We can identify those who are wolves in sheep's clothing
help us to be wise so that we can discern the false Apostles and prophets in our time let us not be led into error let our ears not be fond of a gospel message that is watered down only only to make us feel good however father we want and we need the true and Full Gospel of Jesus Christ a gospel that calls us to repent and Forsake our sinful ways a gospel that calls us to take up our cross and follow you Matthew 24: 11-14 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people because
of the increase of wickedness the love of most will grow cold but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved and this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to All Nations and then the end will Come father even as lawlessness increases I pray that the love of the Lord will remain strong in our lives let our love as children of God never grow cold May our hearts remain sensitive to your voice May our hearts remain soft and receptive to your voice Lord Jesus and even
as Sin is prevalent in this world may we remain pure and upright through the strength of the Holy Spirit Psalm 25: 20-21 says guard my life and rescue me do not let me be put to shame for I take refuge in you may integrity and uprightness protect me because my hope Lord is in you help us to be men and women with Integrity in a lawless World help us to be people who stand up for righteousness let us not be contaminated be the sin and filth of this world Lord and should we be tempted should
our flesh fall into Temptation be our strength Lord Jesus and help us to resist your word in 1 Corinthians 10 verse 13 says no temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man God is faithful and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability but with the Temptation he will also provide the way of Escape that you may be able to endure it thank you Lord Jesus for being a God Who will provide away for us to escape the tentacles of sin each and every time that we're tempted help us Lord so
that we will never lose sight of the Blessed hope which is your return help us to Be watchful to live carefully and prayerfully so that we may always be in a state of Readiness for your return may you always be our hearts desire thank you for listening to this prayer King Jesus amen then the kingdom of heaven will be like 10 bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom five of them were foolish and five were wise the five who were foolish didn't take enough olive oil for their lamps but the other

how he will appear with all power and Glory he spoke of a day and an hour that no one knows not even the angels of Heaven nor the son but the father only and all throughout Matthew chapter 24 I believe he was setting the groundwork for him to explain the parable of the 10 virgins in Matthew 25: 1-13 The Bible reads then the kingdom of heaven will be like 10 bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom five of them were foolish and five were wise the five who were foolish didn't take
enough olive oil for their lamps but the other five were wise Enough To Take Along extra oil when the bridegroom was delayed they all became drowsy and fell asleep at midnight they were roused by The shout look the bridegroom is coming come out and meet him all the Bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps then the five foolish ones asked the others please give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out but the the others replied we don't have enough for all of us go to a shop and buy some for yourselves
but while they were gone to buy oil the bridegroom came then those who were ready went in with him to the Marriage feast and the door was locked later when the other five bridesmaids returned they stood outside calling Lord Lord open the door for us but he called back believe me I don't know you so you too must keep watch for you do not know the day or hour of my return this is an interesting Parable because it paints a picture of two types of people two types of Christians even the wise Among Us are
diligent when it comes to the things of God But the foolish Among Us are complacent the wise Among Us take heed to the warnings in the Bible the foolish Among Us pay no mind to the warnings in God's word the wise Among Us are prayerful they're patiently waiting they're expectant of the Lord's return but the foolish the foolish one says tomorrow I'll get right with God tomorrow tomorrow I'll pray tomorrow but tomorrow is not promised dear friend the wise Among Us Will Be watchful they'll see The signs of the times because they study God's word
but the foolish the foolish will fall asleep they will miss the signs because of a lack of knowledge pray for wisdom saints of God we ought to be wise in these times that we live in we ought to be spirit filled and spirit-led we ought to get our lives ready and stay ready waiting for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to fulfill His promise let us pray Lord Jesus you are great you are Mighty and you are worthy to be praised Lord Jesus help us to be wise give us wisdom and understanding as we study
your word help us to truly comprehend the truth that is in the Bible so that we can discern the evil in this day and age guide us Lord so that we would not be a people that are lost and blinded to The truth and the signs of your return Matthew 24:4 says and Jesus answered them see that no one leads you astray Lord help us to be wise so that we can identify those who are wolves in sheep's clothing help us to be wise so that we can discern the false Apostles and prophets in our
time let us not be led into eror let our ears not be fonded of a gospel message That is watered down only to make us feel good however father we want and we need the true and Full Gospel of Jesus Christ a gospel that calls us to repent and forsake our sinful ways a gospel that calls us to take up our cross and follow you Matthew 24:1 to 14 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people because of the increase of wickedness the love of most Will grow cold but the one who stands
firm to the end will be saved and this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to All Nations and then the end will come father even as lawlessness increases I pray that the love of the Lord will remain strong in our lives let our love as children of God never grow cold May our hearts remain sensitive to your voice May our hearts remain soft And receptive to your voice Lord Jesus and even as Sin is prevalent in this world may we remain pure and upright through the strength of
the Holy Spirit Psalm 25: 20-21 says guard my life and rescue me do not let me be put to shame for I take refuge in you may integrity and uprightness protect me because my hope Lord is in you help us to be men and women with Integrity in a lawless World help us to Be people who stand up for righteousness let us not be contaminated be the sin and filth of this world Lord and should we be tempted should our flesh fall into temptation be our strength Lord Jesus and help us to resist your word
in 1 Corinthians 10:13 says no temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man God is faithful and he will not let You be tempted beyond your ability but with the Temptation he will also provide the way of Escape that you may be able to endure it thank you Lord Jesus for being a God who will provide way for us to escape the tentacles of sin each and every time that we're tempted help us Lord so that we will never lose sight of the Blessed hope which is your return help us to Be watchful
to live carefully and Prayerfully so that we may always be in a state of Readiness for your turn may you always be our heart's desire thank you for listening to this prayer King Jesus amen then the kingdom of heaven will be like 10 bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom five of them were foolish and five were wise the five who were foolish Didn't take enough olive oil for their lamps but the other five were wise Enough To Take Along extra oil when the bridegroom was delayed they all became drowsy and
fell asleep at midnight they were roused by the shout look the bridegroom is coming come out and meet him all the Bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps then the five foolish ones asked the others please give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out but The others replied we don't have enough for all of us go to a shop and buy some for yourselves but while they were gone to buy oil the bridegroom came then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast and the door was locked
later when the other five bridesmaids returned they stood outside calling Lord Lord open the door for us but he called back believe me I don't know you so you too must keep watch for You do not know the day or hour of my return there is a parable in the Bible of a man who made many many plans but paid no mind to God his Focus was only on the things he desired his Focus was only on the material things that he accumulated when instead his Focus really should have been Jesus Christ Luke 12: 13-
21 reads then one from the crowd said to him teacher tell my brother to divide The Inheritance with me but he said to him man who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you and he said to them take heed and beware of covetousness for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses then he spoke a parable to them saying the ground of a certain rich man yielded plentiful and he thought within himself saying what shall I do since I have no room to store my crops so he said
I will do this I will pull down my Barns and build greater and there I will store all my crops and my goods and I will say to my soul soul you have many Goods laid up for many years take your ease eat drink and be merry but God said to him fool this night you're your soul will be required of you then whose will those things be which you have provided so is he who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God people of God learned this lesson we only have so
much time on this world and we have no time to waste it do you know what I found I found that life life is full of surprises in fact my walk with God has been full of surprises I made plans I wrote down my goals and dreams I expected everything to go right I expected things to go my way but the thing is we can make plans we can write down our goals and our Targets however here's what the Bible says Proverbs chap 19: 21 many are the plans in the mind of a man but
it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand now there is a danger in making plans without acknowledging the fact that God is ultimately in control and that tomorrow is not promised after all the Bible does say in James 4 verse 13- 15 come now you who say today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade And make a profit yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring what is your life for you are a Mist that appears for a little time and then
vanishes instead you ought to say if the Lord Wills we will live and do this or that now how many of us really live like this whereby we make our plans yes but still acknowledge that God has the final say when was the last time you said if the Lord Wills I will live and do this or That now don't get me wrong it's good to be wise and save it's good to make retirement plans it's good to work hard with your hands and build a better life for you and your family those things are
good but it's it's crucial for you to invest in your relationship with God it's crucial for you to invest in the treasures that are in heaven it's crucial for you to live life knowing that eternity lasts forever but this world is only passing By now let us pray dear Lord have mercy on me forgive me if I have put more effort in the things of this world as opposed to Heavenly things forgive me if I invested more time in building things here on Earth as opposed to storing up Treasures in Heaven your word in Matthew
6: 19- 21 says do not lay up for yourselves Treasures on Earth where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and Steal but lay up for yourself Treasures in Heaven where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thev EES do not break in and steal for where your treasure is there your heart will be also Lord I pray that you would give me a heart that seeks Heavenly Treasures above Earthly things I pray that the material things of this world would not have any kind of hold on me I pray that my eyes
and heart would never be drawn To chase the riches of this world or the silver and gold of of this world instead King Jesus I pray that I would be richly filled with the Holy Spirit I pray that I would be richly filled with the love of God in my heart a love that seeks to minister to the unsaved and help the poor may I be richly filled with a love from God so that I can serve the body of Christ and do all I can to spread the good news of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ Father help me to realize that Earthly treasure Earthly crowns are temporary they are short-lived and any riches in this world are perishable however I know that you Lord Jesus offer a greater treasure than anything on this Earth father your word in James 1 and2 says blessed is the man who endures Temptation for when he has been approved he will receive the Crown of Life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him help me father to endure the Temptations of this world strengthen me holy spirit so that I can resist the advances of
the devil because in doing so there is the reward of the Crown of Life father I desire to be rewarded with the crown of righteousness your word in 2 Timothy 4:8 says finally there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord the righteous judge will give to me on that Day and not to me only but also to all who have loved his appearing I pray that the Holy Spirit would help me and strengthen me to live a life that is pleasing to you Lord Jesus you are the only one who
can offer Eternal riches Eternal crowns and blessings in your presence forever more and so father I have decided to let go of this world I choose to leave the luxuries afforded to me in this world all so that I can focus on you King Jesus let me not be distracted by the things of this world or even by my own personal plans but may I be forever engaged in the pursuit of righteousness you Lord Jesus are worth far more than all the silver and gold offered in this world my true riches lie in you and
I Rejoice because of that I honor you and I Lift Your Name on High be glorified Lord Jesus amen one of our biggest resources as Christians is prayer prayer for us as Believers is power it's our lifeline and it's a powerful tool it allows us to knock on Heaven's Door and get God's attention and throughout the Bible we see so many men and women who tapped into the power of prayer their situations might have been different their circumstances may have been different but the one thing they had in common is that they prayed for example
the Bible says in 1 Chronicles 4: 10 and Jaz called on the god of Israel saying oh that you would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory that your hand would be with me and that you would keep me from Evil that I may not cause pain so God granted him what he requested the Bible when speaking of Hannah it says in 1st Samuel 1: 10 and she was in bitterness of soul and prayed unto the Lord and wept sore when Hezekiah fell ill the Bible says in 2 Kings 20: 2 through3 then he turned
his face toward the wall and prayed to the Lord saying remember now oh Lord I pray how I have walked before you in truth and with a loyal heart and have done what was good in your sight and Hezekiah wept bitterly and because of his prayer the Lord answered him in verse 5 as the Bible reads return and tell Hezekiah the leader of my people thus says the Lord The god of David your father I have heard your prayer I have seen your tears surely I will heal you on the third day you shall go
up to the house of the Lord the Bible also tells us in Jonah 2:1 then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly and in a story we're very familiar with Paul and silus were imprisoned but the Bible says in Acts 16: 25 and at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang Praises unto God and the prisoners heard Them so do you see a pattern here in all the verses that I've read Hezekiah on his deathbed prayed Jonah in the belly of a fish prayed Hannah in deep anguish prayed JZ when
seeking a blessing prayed so you see prayer is a necessity for us the Bible gives us all these different kinds of examples of men and women who sought after the Lord in prayer so that we can learn and be encouraged That we need to pray too no matter where you are God can hear you if you pray whether you're underwater God can hear you if you're at the end of your life God can still hear you no matter your situation I encourage you to pray because prayer still works God still hears prayers the Lord still
answers prayers if you call unto the Lord Lord his word says I will show you Great and Mighty things which you do not Know you see Jesus Christ is faithful and he's merciful so what you must do is cry out in faith and so now let us approach the throne of God together and let's do what we've been encouraged to do let us pray no matter where life finds you in this moment pray pray to the God who hears who sees who knows pray to the god whose ear is attentive to your prayer Lord Jesus
we give you praise and honor we glorify your name and we're Thankful for your goodness God give us Grace in our prayer lives and strengthen us to pray with fervency to pray with boldness and Faith strengthen our prayer lives Master the Bible tells me that Jesus while on this Earth prayed he prayed in the morning he prayed often he would separate himself from those around him just so he could go pray father I pray for that same discipline I pray for that same heart of Prayer God give us a strong desire to pray may it
become a habit in our lives Lord let it become a part of our routine part of our lifestyle God we pray this in jesus' name let us become believers who when faced with anything our first instinct is to turn to the Lord in prayer if we're struggling with anything May the Holy Spirit remind us to pray before we seek Solutions elsewhere in the Bible Daniel Prayed and He kept praying until you gave him an answer father give us that same Relentless Spirit to pray and to keep seeking you until our breakthrough comes help us to
keep persevering and fighting on our knees never giving up never stopping until we hear from you father I understand that a prayerless Christian is powerless a prayerless Christian is disconnected to their only source of power and that's you Lord so right now We ask that the Holy Spirit would be our strength we ask that the holy spirit will help us to pray and pray often help us to be diligent and alert so that we would not be distracted by anything or by anyone when it's time to pray Lord Jesus we thank you right now for
the victory that is in your name and Lord as we agree in prayer help us to never leave the door open to the kingdom of darkness because of a lack of prayer help us to never let our guard down when It comes to prayer God release an unquenchable desire within our hearts to pray make us prayer warriors in your kingdom Lord Jesus make us prayer warriors who are dedicated and committed to maintaining a close relationship with you father give us the strength and the discipline to get on our knees every day Acts 2 verse 17
says and it shall come to pass in the last days sayith God I will pour out of my spirit upon All Flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams Lord Jesus pour out your spirit in our lives father right now we pray that you would revive our prayer Lives May you birth a new passion within us a passion father that is prayer I desire to experience your presence father please don't pass by Without pouring out your spirit over our lives and
our homes I pray that I would be a believer who is sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit whenever he leads me to pray father help us all to make sure that we're never so busy with worldly things that we would end up missing a Divine appointment with you father we pray that our hearts would always put you first I pray that my passion would only Be for the things of God and Lord right now we pray that you would be glorified and magnified King Jesus be lifted High We bless your name and we

and not grow weary they will walk and not be Faint I pray for strong faith God I pray that I may stand up for Jesus Christ and testify of how he turned my mourning into dancing give me strong faith Lord so that I may stand on your word in a world that is lost in a world that aims to discourage and drain hope as your children we pray for the faith that will enable us to live in The Authority that we have been given in Luke 10: 19 behold I give you the Authority to trample
on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you give us the Faith Lord Jesus to Walk In This Authority as ambassadors of the most high Lord I Thank You for Your unending love you King Jesus are the Wellspring of our hope so even if life disappoints and Friends turn their backs on us God we're grateful that we can always count On you to be our Rock and our refuge John 7:38 says he who believes in me as the scripture has said out of his heart

all the Bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps then the five foolish ones asked the others please give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out but the others replied we don't have enough for all of us go to a shop and buy some for yourselves but while they were gone to buy oil the the bridegroom came then Those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast and the door was locked later when the other five bridesmaids returned they stood outside calling Lord Lord open the door for us but
he called back believe me I don't know you so you too must keep watch for you do not know the day or hour of my return there is a parable in the Bible of a man who made many many plans but paid no mind to God his Focus was only on the things he desired his Focus was Only on the material things that he accumulated when instead his Focus really should have been Jesus Christ Luke 12: 13-21 reads then one from the crowd said to him teacher tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me
but he said to him man who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you and he said to them take heed and beware of covetousness for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he Possesses then he spoke a parable to them saying the ground of a certain rich rich man yielded plentiful and he thought within himself saying what shall I do since I have no room to store my crops so he said I will do this I will pull down my Barns and build greater and there I will store all
my crops and my goods and I will say to my soul soul you have many Goods laid up for many years take your ease eat drink and be married but God said to him fool this night your Soul will be required of you then whose will those things be which you have provided so is he who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God people of God learn this lesson we only have so much time on this world and we have no time to waste it do you know what I found I
found that life is full of surprises in fact my walk with God has been full of surprises I made plans I wrote down my Goals and dreams I expected everything to go right I expected things to go my way but the thing is we can make plans we can write down our goals and our targets how however here's what the Bible says Proverbs 19: 21 many are the plans in the mind of a man but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand now there is a danger in making plans without acknowledging the
fact that God is ultimately in control and that tomorrow is not promised after all The Bible does say in James 4: 13-15 come now you who say today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend the year there and trade and make a profit yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring what is your life for you are a Mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes instead you ought to say if the Lord Wills we will live and do this or that now how many of us
really live like this whereby we make our plans yes but still Acknowledge that God has the final say when was the last time you said if the Lord Wills I will live and do this or that now don't get me wrong it's good to be wise and save it's good to make retirement plans it's good to work hard with your hands and build a better life for you and your family those things are good but it's crucial for you to invest in your relationship with God it's Crucial for you to invest in the treasures that
are in heaven it's crucial for you to live life knowing that eternity lasts forever but this world is only passing by now let us pray dear Lord have mercy on me forgive me if I have put more effort in the things of this world as opposed to Heavenly things forgive me if I invested more time in building things here on Earth as opposed To storing up Treasures in Heaven your word in Matthew 6: 19- 21 says do not lay up for yourselves Treasures on Earth where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and
steal but lay up for yourself Treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal for where your treasure is there your heart will be also Lord I pray that you would give me a Heart that seeks Heavenly Treasures above Earthly things I pray that the material things of this world would not have any kind of hold on me I pray that my eyes and heart would never be drawn to chase the riches of this world or the silver and gold of this world instead King Jesus I
pray that I would be richly filled with the Holy Spirit I pray that I would be richly filled with the love of God in my heart a love that seeks to minister to the Unsaved and help the poor may I be richly filled with a love from God so that I can serve the body of Christ and do all I can can to spread the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ father help me to realize that Earthly treasure Earthly crowns are temporary they are short-lived and any riches in this world are perishable however
I know that you Lord Jesus offer a greater treasure than anything on this Earth father your word in James 1 and12 says blessed is the man who endures Temptation for when he has been approved he will receive the Crown of Life which the Lord has promised to those who love him help me father to endure the Temptations of this world strengthen me holy spirit so that I can resist the advances of the devil because in doing so there is the reward of the Crown of Life father I desire to be rewarded with the crown of
righteousness Your word in 2 Timothy 4:8 says finally there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord the righteous judge will give to me on that day and not to me only but also to all who have loved his appearing I pray that the Holy Spirit would help me and strengthen me to live a life that is pleasing to you Lord Jesus you are the only one who can offer eternal riches Eternal crowns and blessings in your presence forever more And so father I have decided to let go of this world
I choose to leave the luxuries afforded to me in this world all so that I can focus on you King Jesus let me not be distracted by the things of this world or even by my own personal plans but may I be forever engaged in the pursuit of righteousness you Lord Jesus are worth far more than all the silver and gold offered in this world my true riches lie in you and I Rejoice because of that I Honor you and I Lift Your Name on High be glorified Lord Jesus amen one of our biggest resources
as Christians is prayer prayer for us as Believers is power it's our lifeline and it's a powerful tool it allows us to knock on Heaven's Door and get God's attention and throughout the Bible we see so many men and women who tapped into the power of prayer their situations might have been Different their circumstances may have been different but the one thing they had in common is that they prayed for example the Bible says in 1st Chronicles 4: 10 and Jaz called on the god of Israel saying oh that you would bless me indeed and
enlarge my territory that your hand would be with me and that you would keep me from Evil that I may not cause pain so God granted him what he requested the Bible when speaking of Hannah it says in 1st Samuel 1 ver 10 and she was in bitterness of soul and pray pred unto the Lord and wept sore when Hezekiah fell ill the Bible says in 2 Kings 20 veres 2-3 then he turned his face toward the wall and prayed to the Lord saying remember now oh Lord I pray how I have walked before you
in truth and with a loyal heart and have done what was good in your sight and Hezekiah wept bitterly and because of his prayer the Lord answered him in verse 5 as the Bible reads return and tell Hezekiah the leader of my people thus says the Lord the god of David your father I have heard your prayer I have seen your tears surely I will heal you on the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord the Bible also o tells us in Jonah 2:1 then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his
God out of the fish's belly and in a story we're very familiar with Paul and Silas were imprisoned but the Bible says in Acts 16 verse 25 and at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang Praises unto God and the prisoners heard them so do you see a pattern here and all the verses that I've read Hezekiah on his deathbed prayed Jonah in the belly of a fish prayed Hannah in deep anguish prayed JZ when seeking a blessing prayed so you see prayer is a necessity for us the Bible gives us all these Different kinds
of examples of men and women who sought after to the Lord in prayer so that we can learn and be encouraged that we need to pray too no matter where you are God can hear you if you pray whether you're underwater God can hear you if you're at the end of your life God can still hear you no matter your situation I encourage you to pray because prayer still works God still hears prayers the Lord still answers Prayers if you call unto the Lord his word says I will show you Great and Mighty things which
you do not know you see Jesus Christ is faithful and he's merciful so what you must do is cry out in faith and so now let us approach the throne of God together and let's do what we've been encouraged to do let us pray no matter where life finds you in this moment pray pray to the God who Hears who sees who knows pray to the god whose ear is attentive to your prayer Lord Jesus we give you praise and honor we glorify your name and we're thankful for your goodness God give us Grace in
our prayer lives and strengthen us to pray with fervency to pray with boldness and Faith strengthen our prayer lives Master the Bible tells me that Jesus while on this Earth prayed he prayed in the morning he Prayed often he would separate himself from those around him just so he could go pray father I pray for that same discipline I pray for that same heart of prayer God give us a strong desire to pray may it become a habit in our lives Lord let it become a part of our routine part of our lifestyle God we
pray this in jesus' name let us become believers who when faced with anything our first instinct Is to turn to the Lord in prayer if we're struggling with anything May the Holy Spirit remind us to pray before we seek Solutions elsewhere in the Bible Daniel Prayed and he kept praying until you gave him an answer father give us that same Relentless Spirit to pray and to keep seeking you until our breakthrough comes help us to keep persever veing and fighting on our knees never giving up never stopping until we hear from You father I understand
that a prayerless Christian is powerless a prayerless Christian is disconnected to their only source of power and that's you Lord so right now we ask that the Holy Spirit would be our strength we ask that the holy spirit will help us to pray and pray often help us to be diligent and alert so that we would not be distracted by anything or by anyone when it's time to pray Lord Jesus we thank you right now For the victory that is in your name and Lord as we agree in prayer help us to never leave the
door open to the kingdom of darkness because of a lack of prayer help us to never let our guard down when it comes to prayer God release an unquenchable desire within our hearts to pray make us prayer warriors in your kingdom Lord Jesus make us prayer warriors who are dedicated and committed to maintaining a close relationship with You father give us the strength and the discipline to get on our knees every day acts 2:1 17 says and and it shall come to pass in the last days sayith God I will pour out of my spirit
upon All Flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams Lord Jesus pour out your spirit in our lives father right now we pray that you would revive our prayer lives may you Birth a new passion within us a passion father that is prayer I desire to experience your presence father please don't pass by without pouring out your spirit over our lives and our homes I pray that I would be a believer who is sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit

and you shall hold your peace God help us to boldly embrace your word help us to embrace it boldly with no doubt help us to declare and hold on to Isaiah 40: 29 through 31 he gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall but those who hope in the Lord will Renew their strength they will soar on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint I pray for strong faith God I
pray that I may stand up for Jesus Christ and testify of how he turned my mourning into dancing give me strong faith Lord so that I may stand on your word in a world that is lost in a world that aims to discourage and drain Hope as your children we pray for the faith that will enable us to live in The Authority that we have been given in Luke 10: 19 behold I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means
hurt you give us the Faith Lord Jesus to Walk In This Authority as ambassadors of the most high Lord I Thank You for Your unending love you King Jesus are the Wellspring Of our hope so even if life disappoints and Friends turn their backs on us God we're grateful that we can always count on you to be our Rock and our refuge John 7:38 says he who believes in me as the scripture has said out of his heart will flow rivers of Living Water father May the rivers of living water flow from every part of
our Lives May your living water flow over our hearts and souls and fill us with Faith Lord I look forward to a future With you I embrace a future that is in your hands one that's filled with love filled with Mercy and with goodness as I reach out in prayer and in faith I place my hopes my dreams and plans all in your hands so as long as you are for me Lord Jesus nothing can stand against me I will continue to place my faith in you because you are a God who has held me
up every time I didn't have the strength to Stand on my own father I thank you for being so faithful and I bless your holy name it's in the mighty and matchless name of King Jesus our lord that we pray this prayer amen I Praise You Lord Jesus I pray that you would see me in the middle of this challenge I am facing I pray that your hand would mercifully lift me up from this Situation and Deliver Me Lord I pray the words in Psalm 18 verse 1-6 and I say I love you oh Lord
my strength the Lord is my rock and my Fortress and my deliverer my God my rock in whom I take refuge my shield and the Horn of my salvation my stronghold I call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised and I am saved from my enemies the cords of death Encompassed me the torrent of Destruction assailed me the cords of Shel entangled me the snares of death confronted me in in my distress I called upon the Lord to my God I cried for help from his Temple he heard my voice and my cry
to him reached his ears I pray that you would Rescue Me King Jesus and make a way where there seems to be no way I come to you father with all that I Have you have promised in your word to take the heavy load I carry you've promised to take my burdens and so I bring all that bothers me I bring all that weighs me down to your feet I pray that I would hear your voice speaking despite the storm I face despite the challenge I face may your voice be the ruling of authority over
my Affairs the Bible says in Psalm 29:4 the voice of the Lord is powerful the voice of the Lord is majestic so I ask that you would look down on me mercifully and speak the words peace be still help me master to continue to pray persevere even in the middle of this challenge I face cast out the fear and invade my mind my thoughts and my heart with faith faith in your word faith in your promises promises that I will continue To hold on to because even though I may face challenges I am promised peace
that surpasses human understanding so my prayer Lord Jesus is that you would lead me move with me walk with me and speak to me continuously May the Holy Spirit be my counselor and the still Small Voice that guides me when fear tries to attack me and if worry tries to overwhelm me I pray that the Holy Spirit Will Empower Me to overcome and to defeat the spirit of fear in Jesus name though the challenge I face May last longer than I would like though it may be uncomfortable keep me from becoming discouraged Lord give me
the pure joy of the Lord so that I will be strong and if my heart is to feel burdened and weary may I find rest in you may you lead me to greener pastures Jesus great is your faithfulness Father your word in Psalm 29: 10 and 11 says the Lord sits enthroned over the flood the Lord is enthroned as king forever the Lord gives strength to his people the Lord blesses his people with peace be blessed and lifted High Lord Jesus it's because of you that I can overcome any challenge I face it's because of
you that I can be victorious in all of my affairs and so I thank you Lord I confess that everything I come against Anything that comes to frustrate or pull me backwards is already defeated in Jesus name any Spirit any giant or stronghold I bring it down in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord I Thank You For You have given me a spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind so I pray that you would help me so that the things of this world may not affect me so much that they
would result in me losing my Peace I pray that your peace may be like a shield around me May it protect me from being discouraged and from losing hope May may your peace put aside all anxious thoughts in my mind give me the grace to overcome the troubles that I may face Lord you deserve all praise for your Tender Mercies and kindness you have been good to me you continue to be good to me and so I will bless your name every Day in Jesus name I pray [Music] Amen in Matthew chap 24 Jesus spoke
about the future he told us about the great deception that will come when many will falsely say I am the Christ and many will be led astray Jesus spoke of wars and rumors of wars he said many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another but then he also spoke of his return and how he will appear with all Power and Glory he spoke of a day and an hour that no one knows not even the angels of Heaven nor the son but the father only and all throughout Matthew chapter 24 I
believe he was setting the groundwork for him to explain the parable of the 10 virgins in Matthew 25: 1-13 the Bible reads then the kingdom of heaven will be like 10 bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the Bridegroom five of them were foolish and five were wise the five who were foolish didn't take enough olive oil for their life s but the other five were wise Enough To Take Along extra oil when the bridegroom was delayed they all became drowsy and fell asleep at midnight they were roused by the shout look the
bridegroom is coming come out and meet him all the Bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps then the five foolish ones asked The others please give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out but the others replied we don't have enough for all of us go to a shop and buy some for yourselves but while they were gone to buy oil the bridegroom came then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast and the door was locked later when the other five bridesmaids returned they stood outside calling Lord
Lord open the door for Us but he called back believe me I don't know you so you too must keep watch for you do not know the day or hour of my return this is an interesting Parable because it paints a picture of two types of people two types of Christians even the wise Among Us are diligent when it comes to the things of God but the foolish Among Us are complacent the wise Among Us take heed to the warnings in the Bible the foolish Among Us pay no mind to the Warnings in God's word
the wise Among Us are prayerful they're patiently waiting they're expectant of the Lord's return but the foolish the foolish one says tomorrow I'll get right with God tomorrow I'll pray tomorrow but tomorrow is not promised dear friend the wise Among Us Will Be watchful they'll see the signs of the times because they study God's word but the foolish the foolish will fall asleep they will miss the sign Because of a lack of knowledge pray for wisdom saints of God we ought to be wise in these times that we live in we ought to be Spirit-filled
and spirit-led we ought to get our lives ready and stay ready waiting for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to fulfill his promise let us pray Lord Jesus you are great you are Mighty and you are worthy to be Praised Lord Jesus help us to be wise give us wisdom and understanding as we study your word help us to truly comprehend the truth that is in the Bible so that we can discern the evil in this day and age guide us Lord so that we would not be a people that are lost and blinded to
the truth TR and the signs of your return Matthew 24:4 says and Jesus answered them see that no one leads you Astray Lord help us to be wise so that we can identify those who are wolves in sheep's clothing help us to be wise so that we can discern the false Apostles and Prophets in our time let us not be led into error let our ears not be fond of a gospel message that is watered down only to make us feel good however father we want and we need the true and Full Gospel of Jesus
Christ A gospel that cause us to repent and forsake our sinful ways a gospel that calls us to take up our cross and follow you Matthew 24:1 to 14 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people because of the increase of wickedness the love of most will grow cold but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved and this Gospel of the Kingdom will be be preached in the whole world as a Testimony to All Nations and then the end will come father even as lawlessness increases I pray that the
love of the Lord will remain strong in our lives let our love as children of God never grow cold May our hearts remain sensitive to your voice May our hearts remain soft and receptive to your voice Lord Jesus and even as Sin is prevalent in This world may we remain pure and upright through the strength of the Holy Spirit Psalm 25: 20-21 says guard my life and rescue me do not let me be put to shame for I take refuge in you May integrity and uprightness protect me because my hope Lord is in you help
us to be men and women with Integrity in a lawless World help us to be people who stand up for Righteousness let us not be contaminated be the sin and filth of this world Lord and should we be tempted should our flesh fall into temptation be our strength Lord Jesus and help us to resist your word in 1 Corinthians 10:3 says no temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man God is faithful and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability but With the Temptation he will also o provide the way
of Escape that you may be able to endure it thank you Lord Jesus for being a God who will provide away for us to escape the tentacles of sin each and every time that we're tempted help us Lord so that we will never lose sight of the Blessed hope which is your return help us to Be watchful to live carefully and prayerfully so That we may always be in a state of Readiness for your return may you always be our heart's desire thank you for listening to this prayer King Jesus amen then the kingdom of
