eyes fixed on jesus christ he's the only one worthy of our devotion he's the only one worthy of our praise and adoration he's the only one who should be right at The center right at the top of our priorities and i want to encourage you today to pray at a higher level to praise and worship god at a deeper level and to chase him with an urgency to have a fire to have a hunger and thirst in your soul to develop a strong intimate relationship with jesus christ in the book of matthew chapter 16 verse
24 jesus was with his disciples when he Said the words if anyone desires to come after me let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me now let me ask you do you have a desire to go after jesus do you have the desire to deny yourself of the temporary pleasures of this world examine your heart and ask yourself am i willing to take up my cross and follow jesus Now the cross has never been meant to symbolize something easy or simple it symbolizes a place of pain a place of purging or
affliction but it also symbolizes salvation and hope it symbolizes the love of jesus and the power of his blood the cross is symbolic of a place where flesh dies where sin is defeated and christ wins and so we need to be mindful of the words of jesus Deny yourself take up your cross and follow jesus now let us pray father your word in matthew 21 verse 22 says and whatever things you ask in prayer believing you will receive i thank you for such a promise i promise that you god almighty the eternal father will answer

you with knowledge that my lord will deliver he will uplift me and protect me from all harm i bless your name because in john 16 verse 33 you have said i have told you these things so that in me you may have peace in this world you will have trouble but take heart i have overcome the world You have overcome the world and as your child as a believer who has been washed cleansed and saved by your precious blood i will take heart even if i face difficulty or disappointments i have already overcome because of
you lord so i pray that you continue to lead me father because on my own i am lost and i will not always make the right decisions but if you are directing my steps i know That your amazing grace and your favor will surround me your love will cause things to work out in my favor and to my advantage and so i acknowledge that i need your wisdom lord i want to take this time to offer up praises and thanksgiving to you thank you for hearing my prayer in the name of jesus christ i pray
[Music] amen lord jesus I pray that i would not be accustomed to or conformed to this world philippians 3 verses 20 through 21 say but our citizenship is in heaven and from it we await a savior the lord jesus christ who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself thank you lord for this blessed and reassuring word that my citizenship is In heaven with you i belong with you lord and heaven is my home this is why i understand that
friendship with the world is enmity with god and so i do not wish to be a friend of the world and make myself an enemy of the one true god but i would rather be rejected by the world and accepted by you lord jesus [Music] Father in the moments when i feel like holding on to things that you're calling me to let go of may the holy spirit press upon my heart and remind me of your sacrifice on the cross [Music] fill my heart with an enthusiasm for your kingdom as your word tells me father
help me to seek first the kingdom of god and all its righteousness Lord let this be my heart's desire [Music] lord i pray for a heart of worship like david i too want to chase after your heart i too want to worship you in spirit and in truth [Music] dear god give me the boldness of the three hebrew boys the boldness to remove every idol in my Life the boldness to refuse to bow down to anything that tries to take your place in my life i pray that i would be willing to give up everything
for you because you gave it all for me may i be obedient to your word and take up my cross each day and follow you father i know that you call me not to a life of comfort But to one of sacrifice i know that this life will not be easy the narrow road will not be easy but by your grace i pray that i will find the strength to march forward i know that to follow you lord is to give up every other allegiance but i also know that you're of far more value than
anything i could lose help me to let go of every idol that I've been clinging to lord give me a willing and obedient heart like abraham let me gladly lay down my most prized possessions and build you an altar of worship all i have all that i am god it all belongs to you so let my body be a living sacrifice to you holy and pleasing set apart for service in your kingdom Help me to build my life upon you even if it means giving up things that i love and treasure give me the courage
to trade good things for the best things whatever you call me to do wherever you call me to go may i do it gladly and without hesitation help me not to mourn the things i lose but rejoice in what i have gained Your word says whoever loves his life will lose it but whoever lays it down will find it in the end lord i lay my life before you now trusting that whatever i give up will be multiplied in eternity give me faith to say the course lord even when i can't see the outcome abraham
didn't know that you would spare isaac but he trusted that your plan was far greater than his May my life always reflect that willingness to sacrifice everything to obey your perfect will jesus i come before you with open hands withholding nothing from the one who owns all things lord jesus i believe that you are my keeper you are my shepherd and you are the prince of peace god be glorified in jesus name i pray Amen the bible says in romans chapter 5 verse 3 to 5 not only that but we rejoice in our sufferings knowing
that suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character and character produces hope and hope does not put us to shame because god's love has been poured into our hearts through the holy spirit who Has been given to us rejoicing in suffering does not mean that we enjoy suffering it does not mean that we enjoy pain on the contrary rejoicing in suffering means that we fully understand the size of our troubles but we trust that our god is bigger we know that through our suffering god is refining our character teaching us the value of hope and making
Us more and more dependent on him none of these things are pleasant in the moment but they are necessary for our maturity our growth and our ultimate joy when life puts you through excruciating pain i understand that it could be hard to remain positive in that moment it can be hard to see how your circumstances could possibly turn out for the better but allow me to encourage you and tell You that the longer you live the more you come to understand that there will be times where it feels as though the lord is literally breaking
you the reality my friends is that he is in fact building you think about the story of joseph joseph was a faithful servant of god yet he was betrayed by his own brothers sold into slavery falsely accused imprisoned And forgotten joseph suffered setback after setback in his life even though he did nothing wrong even when though it might have felt like god was breaking him god was actually building him god was building his faith his tenacity and his strength so that at the proper time god might elevate him to a position he never would have
thought possible [Music] james 1 verse 2 to 4 reads count it all joy my brothers when you meet trials of various kinds for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness and let steadfastness have its full effect that you may be perfect and complete lacking in nothing that is the mindset we are meant to have In times of tribulation this is the truth that allowed joseph in genesis 50 verse 20 to say to pharaoh and at the end of all his trials as for you you meant evil against me but god meant it
for good what would happen if we had the same attitude toward our own suffering what would happen if we came to the realization that what the devil intends For harm against us god will use it for good after all the word of god in romans 8 verse 28 says and we know that for those who love god all things work together for good for those who are called according to his purpose what a powerful reminder of god's love for us there is no such thing as meaningless sorrow he uses it all for our good The
rest of the world gets discouraged bitter and depressed when they encounter suffering but our hope is in jesus even if this life disappoints us our faith is in one who has overcome all things jesus faced the greatest suffering of all he allowed himself to be broken so that we wouldn't have to be so today if you're choosing to remain faithful in Spite of your pain you can rest in the truth that through this jesus is making you more like himself heavenly father this world this life can be filled with sorrow tragedy and pain father i
pray that these trials these sufferings that may be presented to us as your children i pray that they would never overwhelm us It is your strength that i will seek lord jesus even when i feel as though everything is falling apart for me i will seek your strength and presence continually your word says in first chronicles 16 verse 11 seek the lord and his strength seek his presence continually lord give me the presence of mine and the maturity to understand that at times where i feel like i'm about to break You will never send me
a trial that is too much for me to bear give me the grace father to have the presence of mind that realizes that the trials sent my way are actually designed to build me to build my faith in you my trust in you my reliance on you help me to realize that the trials i go through are not your punishment but instruments of your loving discipline You've been faithful all throughout my life and i declare your word second corinthians chapter four verse eight to nine says we are afflicted in every way but not crushed perplexed
but not driven to despair persecuted but not forsaken struck down but not destroyed through all the suffering in this world we praise you god we praise you because we are not crushed Under the weed of pain we are not driven to despair under the weight of tribulation we are not forsaken in the fight we face and we certainly are not nor will we be destroyed in jesus name i come to you now in humble adoration of your power and glory i submit to your ways which are higher than mine Because in your infinite wisdom you
take what is evil and work it for good you take what is meant for harm and use it to bring about your plan of salvation and so i can trust that none of my suffering is ever wasted for you always create beauty out of ashes you create something new out of what has been destroyed so lord Build me lord make me the type of believer that you want build a godly character within me through my successes and failures build me up through my victories as well as my defeats help me to worship you not just
when my life is going well but even in my deepest struggles like joseph and so many others before me help me to suffer well Help me not to be resentful for the things you allow me to face instead i pray that you would expand my view so that i can see how you're using them for something greater help me not to sink into depression when challenges come my way instead enable me to have a cheerful and joyful attitude knowing that every little detail i'm worried about Will all work out for my good and for your
glory lord i know that if you allow me to suffer it is ultimately because you love me and because you have my best interests in mind and every trial i encounter is not meant to break me but to build me and teach me the extent of your grace and mercy lord i would much rather suffer and find you In the process than go through a life of comfort without ever recognizing my need for you so father whatever it takes to draw me closer to you and draw closer to me i pray that you would fill
me with your peace give me the eyes of faith lord because so often i can see only the mountain ahead of me but lord You see the entire picture what i perceive to be long seasons of suffering are but light and momentary afflictions when compared to the glory that is to be revealed in eternity thank you for your sovereignty and for your kindness in my life it's in jesus name i pray amen the bible in luke 13 verse 10 to 13 says on a sabbath jesus was teaching in one of the Synagogues and a woman
was there who had been crippled by a spirit for 18 years she was bent over and could not straighten up at all when jesus saw her he called her forward and said to her woman you are set freeing from your infirmity then he put his hands on her and immediately she straightened up and praised god the bible says she was bent over and Couldn't straighten at all this means that this woman could not look up and see the sky she could not see the smiles on people's faces she couldn't even be embraced or hugged properly
and i believe her physical state is symbolic of someone who may not be able to see their future someone who may be looking around but can't find anyone that's concerned about How they're doing you may be there and all you need is to be embraced or held but the wonderful thing about this short passage of scripture from me is not the fact that jesus said woman you are set free from your infirmity it's not that jesus he put his hands on her and she was healed i'm particularly touched by three words in this passage jesus
Saw her god saw her true love saw her the king of kings saw her and that's the word which i'd like to encourage you with today jesus sees you god sees you you might be so bent over in your mind spirit and soul that you can't see the light you can't see anyone smiling at you but Jesus christ sees you he's smiling at you you might be bent over unable to look up or forward to your future but all you need to know is that jesus sees you right where you are [Music] he sees it
all he sees the pain he sees the fact that you've been left feeling isolated by those close to you He sees that you're feeling rejected and abandoned he sees everything the fact that you feel overwhelmed are like a ton of bricks is on your shoulders and just as the bible says in verse 13 then he put his hands on her and immediately she straightened up and praised god [Music] i believe that not only does jesus Christ see you in your place of need he will put his arms around you he will cause you to straighten
up in his arms and in his love so that you would know that all things are working all things have always been working for your good it's all working in your favor now let us pray thank you for your word lord jesus thank you for your word which uplifts and encourages Father i pray in agreement with all who are listening see us lord cast your eyes upon us let your gaze be fixed on our lives for the man or woman who is listening right now and in need of a touch from your hand may you
see them lord may you see their faith may you see their desire lord may you see their need i praise you lord jesus because you are A god who sees beyond the veil you see beyond the facade that we put on for the world you are a god who sees right into our souls [Music] i pray and i yearn for your gaze over my life over my family because unlike the human eye when you see me jesus when you look down on me from your heavenly throne you see all that's in my heart you see
all that troubles and hurts me You see all of my struggles and pain you see the innermost parts of me and i am grateful because it's only you that can then make me whole it's only through your gaze that i can have all of my burdens and troubles lifted [Music] i speak the priestly blessing in numbers chapter 6 verse 24 to 26 over my life the lord will bless me and he will keep me The lord will make his face shine on me and be gracious to me the lord turn his face toward me and
give me peace may this be my reality that your face will shine on me day and night that your face will turn towards me each and every day and give me peace i desire for your eyes to fall on me because they are filled with compassion with mercy and unconditional love I am running into your arms jesus because it's in your loving embrace that i can stand up straight it's in your loving arms that i can say psalms 40 verse 2 he lifted me out of the slimy pit and out of the mud and mire
and he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand in your arms i can rise up and stand in faith i can stand in boldness in your arms i am no longer bent over Looking down in despair but i now have great posture i can stand and say i am healed i can stand and renounce the power of the devil i can stand with boldness and conviction and testify of the goodness of god thank you jesus that when i am weary i can come to you thank you for your
gentleness when the load is heavy i can find relief in you I have realized father that the only way to live is to stand in the embrace of the one whose image i was created in i stand in your love jesus a love that is unconditional and pure and when i do this i am set free from the agony i am set free from the bondage of trying to fix everything on my own i laid arrest all of my burdens as i come before you no longer will my mind be clouded by Worry by earthly
troubles or shortcomings your love covers all your love is restoring your love men's broken hearts so i glorify your name jesus i'll praise you forever because i believe that by faith you see me you rescue me and you'll never abandon but instead you'll be all that i need your word lord tells me that i will Praise the name of god with a song i will magnify him with thanksgiving i am so thankful for your love king jesus that even though you knew everything about me you knew all of my shortfalls and all of my mistakes
but yet you still died in my place opening up the way to eternal life for me i give you thanks lord jesus [Music] even if all my friends were to leave me and betray me [Music] i give you thanks lord jesus we bless your holy name amen luke 17 verses 5 and 6 read the apostle said to the lord increase our faith and the lord said if you had faith like a grain of mustard seed you could say to this mulberry tree be uprooted And planted in the sea and it would obey you i believe
that the statement made by the apostles saying increase our faith this should be a cry that we too have in our lives and if jesus said all you need is faith the size of a grain of a mustard seed and you can tell a mulberry tree a tree which has strong and deep roots To be uprooted and planted in the sea if jesus told us that faith in him is the key to power well then when was the last time that you cried like the apostles lord increase my faith when was the last time that
you placed faith as the number one request on your prayer List [Music] how long has it been since you've said the words lord help me overcome my unbelief help me and strengthen my faith the bible says in matthew chapter 21 verses 21-22 and jesus answered them truly i say to you If you have faith and do not doubt you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree but even if you say to this mountain be taken up and thrown into the sea it will happen and whatever you ask in prayer you
will receive if you have faith so in this moment I would like to offer a few words of encouragement to you concerning faith when your prayers are still unanswered and you feel like giving up keep your faith in jesus christ when your relationships are broken and you feel alone put your faith in jesus christ when you feel like you're drowning under the weight of your sin Have faith that jesus christ will rescue you he will deliver you clean you up and make you pure so even when life disappoints and friends abandon even on your darkest
day keep the faith even when you're faced with hardships That seem unbearable keep the faith in god when i learned how to fully trust in jesus christ [Music] i can testify that he held me up every time i didn't have the strength to stand on my own the lord was and is the anchor for my soul he keeps me firm and steady so that i'm Not swept away by the storms in my life all the glory and praise belongs to jesus christ because i can truly say that when i was at rock bottom he lifted
me up he dusted me off and he placed me on solid ground now let us pray lord jesus i would simply like to begin by praising you Lord i adore you i lift your name up high you are unmatched in all your ways god you are uncontested in your authority there is no rival to you almighty god there is no equal to you my father lord i pray that you would increase my faith i pray that you would help me To overcome unbelief help me to crush any doubtful thoughts that try and reason with probabilities
or statistics help me lord to walk by faith and not by sight because as i do so as i walk by faith i know that there is no statistic that matters there is no probability that matters The only thing that does matter is you king jesus [Music] lord your word says in mark 11 verses 22 to 24 have faith in god truly i say to you whoever says to this mountain be taken up and thrown into the sea and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will come to pass it
will be done for him Therefore i tell you whatever you ask in prayer believe that you have received it and it will be yours lord help me to be confident in that word [Music] help me jesus and give me the grace to be able to have fearless faith a faith that is constant so that Regardless of what the situation is i can remain rooted and firm in my belief in you should the test be a storm lord give me the faith to believe that you can calm the seas in my life should my test be
a mountain give me the faith to believe that you my king can level that mountain should my test even be a goliath lord give me the faith to believe that your Power will defeat every giant lord when this world disappoints when it turns against me may the holy spirit constantly speak to me as a still small voice and may he reassure me that you are my rock when everything else is sinking sand [Music] ephesians 6 verse 16 says in all circumstances take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish All the flaming darts
of the evil one help me lord jesus to take up that protective shield of faith a shield that renders the devil's attacks useless lord even as i request that you increase my faith i pray that you would press upon my heart a need and a desire to search your word daily because the bible says in romans 10 verse 17 so faith comes from hearing And hearing through the word of christ i bless your name lord jesus and i ask that you would search me and remove anything that hinders the growth of my faith if it's
the people around me who are always discouraging i pray that you would remove them king jesus if it's pain then father i ask you to heal me anything that might possibly be weighing Me down i pray that you would lift my burdens i will continue to trust in you i will continue to cast my cares on you i will continue to place my faith and my hope in you lord you are the one who is who was and who will forever be and i thank you for loving me ever so deeply may your holy presence

breakthrough prayer is communion with the most high it builds a relationship between you and jesus it guides you it illuminates hidden supernatural things and it strengthens Your inner man in prayer you declare that which is in the spirit realm to manifest in this world prayer releases the power of god for the pulling down of strongholds it releases the power of god for the breaking of chains for destroying generational curses for the restoration of dry bones in dry places prayer is power prayer wins battles those things you Struggle with those things which you wrestle with those
things that oppose you those battles fought in private the victory is in prayer [Music] hebrews chapter 12 verse 2 reads looking unto jesus the author and finisher of our faith who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross despising the shame and has sat down at the right hand of The throne of god we should always have our eyes fixed on jesus christ he's the only one worthy of our devotion he's the only one worthy of our praise and adoration he's the only one who should be right at the center right at
the top of our priorities and i want to encourage you today to pray at a higher level to praise and worship god at a deeper Level and to chase him with an urgency to have a fire to have a hunger and thirst in your soul to develop a strong intimate relationship with jesus christ in the book of matthew chapter 16 verse 24 jesus was with his disciples when he said the words if anyone desires to come after me let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me now let me ask you Do
you have a desire to go after jesus do you have the desire to deny yourself of the temporary pleasures of this world examine your heart and ask yourself am i willing to take up my cross and follow jesus now the cross has never been meant to symbolize something easy or simple it symbolizes a place of pain a place of purging or affliction but it also symbolizes salvation and hope it symbolizes the love of jesus And the power of his blood the cross is symbolic of a place where flesh dies where sin is defeated and christ
wins and so we need to be mindful of the words of jesus deny yourself take up your cross and follow jesus now let us pray father your word in matthew 21 verse 22 says and whatever things you ask in prayer Believing you will receive i thank you for such a promise i promise that you god almighty the eternal father will answer my prayers if i ask and believe i am thankful that you are an affectionate god a god who has infinite wisdom and power i am grateful that in all your power and glory you can

open hands withholding nothing from the one who owns all things lord jesus i believe that you are my keeper you are my shepherd And you are the prince of peace god be glorified in jesus name i pray amen the bible says in romans chapter 5 verse 3 to 5 not only that but we rejoice in our sufferings knowing that suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character and character produces hope And hope does not put us to shame because god's love has been poured into our hearts through the holy spirit who has been given to us
rejoicing in suffering does not mean that we enjoy suffering it does not mean that we enjoy pain on the contrary rejoicing in suffering means that we fully understand the size of our troubles but we trust that our god is bigger We know that through our suffering god is refining our character teaching us the value of hope and making us more and more dependent on him none of these things are pleasant in the moment but they are necessary for our maturity our growth and our ultimate joy when life puts you through excruciating pain i understand that
it could be hard to remain positive in that moment it can be hard to see how Your circumstances could possibly turn out for the better but allow me to encourage you and tell you that the longer you live the more you come to understand that there will be times where it feels as though the lord is literally breaking you however the reality my friends is that he is in fact building you think about the story of joseph Joseph was a faithful servant of god yet he was betrayed by his own brothers sold into slavery falsely
accused imprisoned and forgotten joseph suffered setback after setback in his life even though he did nothing wrong even when though it might have felt like god was breaking him god was actually building him god was building his faith his tenacity and his strength so that at the proper Time god might elevate him to a position he never would have thought possible james 1 verse 2 to 4 reads count it all joy my brothers when you meet trials of various kinds for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness and let steadfastness have its
full effect that you may be perfect and complete Lacking in nothing that is the mindset we are meant to have in times of tribulation this is the truth that allowed joseph in genesis 50 verse 20 to say to pharaoh and at the end of all his trials as for you you meant evil against me but god meant it for good what would happen if we had the same Attitude toward our own suffering what would happen if we came to the realization that what the devil intends for harm against us god we'll use it for good
after all the word of god in romans 8 verse 28 says and we know that for those who love god all things work together for good for those who are called according to his purpose what a powerful reminder of God's love for us there is no such thing as meaningless sorrow he uses it all for our good the rest of the world gets discouraged bitter and depressed when they encounter suffering but our hope is in jesus even if this life disappoints us our faith is in one who has overcome all things jesus faced the greatest
suffering of All he allowed himself to be broken so that we wouldn't have to be so today if you're choosing to remain faithful in spite of your pain you can rest in the truth that through this jesus is making you more like himself heavenly father this world this life can be filled with sorrow tragedy and pain Father i pray that these trials these sufferings that may be presented to us as your children i pray that they would never overwhelm us it is your strength that i will seek lord jesus even when i feel as though
everything is falling apart for me i will seek your strength and presence continually your word says in first chronicles 16 verse 11 seek the lord and his strength seek his Presence continually lord give me the presence of mine and the maturity to understand that at times where i feel like i'm about to break you will never send me a trial that is too much for me to bear give me the grace father to have the presence of mind that realizes that the trials sent my way are actually designed to build me to build my faith
in you my trust in you My reliance on you help me to realize that the trials i go through are not your punishment but instruments of your loving discipline you've been faithful all throughout my life and i declare your word second corinthians chapter four verse eight to nine says we are afflicted in every way but not Crushed perplexed but not driven to despair persecuted but not forsaken struck down but not destroyed through all the suffering in this world we praise you god we praise you because we are not crushed under the weight of pain we
are not driven to despair under the weight of tribulation we are not forsaken in the fight we face and we certainly are not nor will we be Destroyed in jesus name i come to you now in humble adoration of your power and glory i submit to your ways which are higher than mine because in your infinite wisdom you take what is evil and work it for good you take what is meant for harm and use it to bring about your plan of salvation and so i can trust that none of my Suffering is ever wasted
for you always create beauty out of ashes you create something new out of what has been destroyed so lord build me lord make me the type of believer that you want build a godly character within me through my successes and failures build me up through my victories as well As my defeats help me to worship you not just when my life is going well but even in my deepest struggles like joseph and so many others before me help me to suffer well help me not to be resentful for the things you allow me to face
instead i pray that you would expand my view so that i can see how you're using them for something greater Help me not to sink into depression when challenges come my way instead enable me to have a cheerful and joyful attitude knowing that every little detail i'm worried about will all work out for my good and for your glory lord i know that if you allow me to suffer it is ultimately because you love me and because you have my best interests in mine And every trial i encounter is not meant to break me but
to build me and teach me the extent of your grace and mercy lord i would much rather suffer and find you in the process than go through a life of comfort without ever recognizing my need for you so father whatever it takes to draw me closer to you And draw closer to me i pray that you would fill me with your peace give me the eyes of faith lord because so often i can see only the mountain ahead of me but lord you see the entire picture what i perceive to be long seasons of suffering
are but light and momentary afflictions when compared to the glory that is to be revealed in eternity Thank you for your sovereignty and for your kindness in my life it's in jesus name i pray amen the bible in luke 13 verse 10 to 13 says on a sabbath jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for 18 years she was bent over and could not straighten up at all When jesus saw her he called her forward and said to her woman you are set
free from your infirmity then he put his hands on her and immediately she straightened up and praised god the bible says she was bent over and couldn't straighten at all this means that this woman could not look up and see the sky she could not see the smiles on people's faces She couldn't even be embraced or hugged properly and i believe her physical state is symbolic of someone who may not be able to see their future someone who may be looking around but can't find anyone that's concerned about how they're doing you may be there
and all you need is to be embraced or held [Music] but the wonderful thing about this short Passage of scripture from me is not the fact that jesus said woman you are set free from your infirmity it's not that jesus he put his hands on her and she was healed i'm particularly touched by three words in this passage jesus saw her god saw her true love saw her the king of kings saw her And that's the word which i'd like to encourage you with today jesus sees you god sees you you might be so bent
over in your mind spirit and soul that you can't see the light you can't see anyone smiling at you but jesus christ sees you he's smiling at you [Music] You might be bent over unable to look up or forward to your future but all you need to know is that jesus sees you right where you are [Music] he sees it all he sees the pain he sees the fact that you've been left feeling isolated by those close to you he sees that you're feeling rejected and abandoned he sees everything The fact that you feel overwhelmed
or like a ton of bricks is on your shoulders and just as the bible says in verse 13 then he put his hands on her and immediately she straightened up and praised god i believe that not only does jesus christ see you in your place of need he will put his arms around you he will cause you to straighten up in his arms and in his love So that you would know that all things are working all things have always been working for your good it's all working in your favor [Music] now let us pray
[Music] thank you for your word lord jesus thank you for your word which uplifts and encourages father i pray in agreement with all who Are listening see us lord cast your eyes upon us let your gaze be fixed on our lives for the man or woman who is listening right now and in need of a touch from your hand may you see them lord may you see their faith may you see their desire lord may you see their need i praise you lord jesus because you are a god who sees beyond the veil You see
beyond the facade that we put on for the world you are a god who sees right into our souls i pray and i yearn for your gaze over my life over my family [Music] because unlike the human eye when you see me jesus when you look down on me from your heavenly throne you see all that's in my heart you see all that troubles and hurts me you see all of my struggles and pain You see the innermost parts of me and i am grateful because it's only you that can then make me whole it's
only through your gaze that i can have all of my burdens and troubles lifted i speak the priestly blessing in numbers chapter 6 verse 24 to 26 over my life the lord will bless me and he will keep me the lord will make his face shine on me and be gracious to me The lord turn his face toward me and give me peace may this be my reality that your face will shine on me day and night that your face will turn towards me each and every day and give me peace i desire for your
eyes to fall on me because they are filled with compassion with mercy and unconditional love i am running into your arms jesus because it's in your loving embrace that I can stand up straight it's in your loving arms that i can say psalms 40 verse 2 he lifted me out of the slimy pit and out of the mud and mire and he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand in your arms i can rise up and stand in faith i can stand in boldness in your arms i am
no longer bent over looking down in despair but i now have great posture I can stand and say i am healed i can stand and renounce the power of the devil i can stand with boldness and conviction and testify of the goodness of god thank you jesus that when i am weary i can come to you thank you for your gentleness when the load is heavy i can find relief in you i have realized father that the only way to live is to stand in the embrace of The one whose image i was created in
i stand in your love jesus a love that is unconditional and pure and when i do this i am set free from the agony i am set free from the bondage of trying to fix everything on my own i laid arrest all of my burdens as i come before you no longer will my mind be clouded by worry by earthly troubles or shortcomings your love covers all Your love is restoring your love men's broken hearts so i glorify your name jesus i'll praise you forever because i believe that by faith you see me you rescue
me and you'll never abandon but instead you'll be all that i need [Music] your word lord tells me that i will praise the name of god with a song I will magnify him with thanksgiving i am so thankful for your love king jesus that even though you knew everything about me you knew all of my shortfalls and all of my mistakes but yet you still died in my place opening up the way to eternal life for me give you thanks lord jesus even if all my friends were to leave me and betray me i give
you thanks lord jesus we bless your holy name Amen [Music] luke 17 verses 5 and 6 read the apostle said to the lord increase our faith and the lord said if you had faith like a grain of mustard seed you could say to this mulberry tree be uprooted and planted in the sea and it would obey you i believe that the statement made by the Apostles saying increase our faith this should be a cry that we too have in our lives and if jesus said all you need is faith the size of a grain of
a mustard seed and you can tell a mulberry tree a tree which has strong and deep roots to be uprooted and planted in the sea if jesus told us that faith in him is the key to power Well then when was the last time that you cried like the apostles lord increase my faith when was the last time that you placed faith as the number one request on your prayer list how long has it been since you've said the words lord help me overcome my unbelief Help me and strengthen my faith the bible says in
matthew chapter 21 verses 21 to 22 and jesus answered them truly i say to you if you have faith and do not doubt you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree but even if you say to this mountain be taken up and thrown into the sea it will happen And whatever you ask in prayer you will receive if you have faith [Music] so in this moment i would like to offer a few words of encouragement to you concerning faith when your prayers are still unanswered and you feel like giving up
keep your faith in jesus christ When your relationships are broken and you feel alone put your faith in jesus christ when you feel like you're drowning under the weight of your sin have faith that jesus christ will rescue you he will deliver you clean you up and make you pure So even when life disappoints and friends abandon even on your darkest day keep the faith even when you're faced with hardships that seem unbearable keep the faith in god when i learned how to fully trust in jesus christ i can testify that he held me up
every time I didn't have the strength to stand on my own the lord was and is the anchor for my soul he keeps me firm and steady so that i'm not swept away by the storms in my life all the glory and praise belongs to jesus christ because i can truly say that when i was at rock bottom he lifted me up he dusted me off and he placed me on solid ground now let us pray Lord jesus i would simply like to begin by praising you lord i adore you i lift your name up
high you are unmatched in all your ways god you are uncontested in your authority there is no rival to you almighty god there is no equal to you my father [Music] lord I pray that you would increase my faith i pray that you would help me to overcome unbelief help me to crush any doubtful thoughts that try and reason with probabilities or statistics help me lord to walk by faith and not by sight because as i do so as i walk by faith i know That there is no statistic that matters there is no probability
that matters the only thing that does matter is you king jesus lord your word says in mark 11 verses 22-24 have faith in god truly i say to you whoever says to this mountain be taken up and thrown into the sea and does not doubt in his heart But believes that what he says will come to pass it will be done for him therefore i tell you whatever you ask in prayer believe that you have received it and it will be yours lord help me to be confident in that word help me jesus and give
me the grace To be able to have fearless faith a faith that is constant so that regardless of what the situation is i can remain rooted and firm in my belief in you should the test be a storm lord give me the faith to believe that you can calm the seas in my life should my test be a mountain give me the faith to believe that you my king can level that mountain should my test even be a goliath lord Give me the faith to believe that your power will defeat every giant lord when this
world disappoints when it turns against me may the holy spirit constantly speak to me as a still small voice and may he reassure me that you are my rock when everything else is sinking sand [Music] ephesians 6 verse 16 says In all circumstances take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one help me lord jesus to take up that protective shield of faith a shield that renders the devil's attacks useless [Music] lord even as i request that you increase my faith i pray that you would
press upon my heart a need and a desire to search your word daily because the bible Says in romans 10 verse 17 so faith comes from hearing and hearing through the word of christ i bless your name lord jesus and i ask that you would search me and remove anything that hinders the growth of my faith if it's the people around me who are always discouraging i pray that you would remove them king jesus if it's pain Then father i ask you to heal me anything that might possibly be weighing me down i pray that
you would lift my burdens i will continue to trust in you i will continue to cast my cares on you i will continue to place my faith and my hope in you lord you are the one who is who was and who will forever be and i thank you For loving me ever so deeply may your holy presence be with me now and always lord continue to strengthen me and continue to increase my faith in jesus name i pray amen [Music] father your word in matthew 21 verse 22 says and whatever things you ask in
prayer believing you will Receive i thank you for such a promise i promise that you god almighty the eternal father will answer my prayers if i ask and believe i am thankful that you are an affectionate god a god who has infinite wisdom and power i am grateful that in all your power and glory you can still take the time to hear and listen to my prayers for this privilege i will rejoice I thank you lord jesus for all that you do for the goodness and mercy you have shown me thank you for all that

allowed to happen i find strength in the understanding That the most high god is working all things together for my good i submit to your will king jesus i yield to all of your ways although i may not know each and every detail about what will happen tomorrow i will trust you my king i will trust you with all my heart and i choose not to lean on my own understanding i choose to reverence you to acknowledge you father in all my ways you deserve all the glory you are a god who will make every
crooked path Straight and so i praise you the god of all creation a god who never sleeps nor slumbers i will forever sing your praises and adore your holy name father cleanse my heart so that the spirit of pride will not be found within me remove every bad and evil thing within me within my character remove every sinful behavior and every sinful desire that is not pleasing to you place in me a spirit that is humble a spirit That is filled with gratitude a spirit that says yes lord and obeys your word and your will

you lord and heaven is my home this is why i understand that friendship with the world is enmity with god and so i do not wish to be a friend of the world and make myself an enemy of the one true god but i would rather be rejected by the world and accepted by you lord jesus [Music] father in the moments when i feel like holding on to things that you're calling me to let go of may the holy spirit press upon my heart and remind me of your sacrifice on the cross [Music] fill my
heart with an enthusiasm for your kingdom as your word tells me father help me to seek first the kingdom Of god and all its righteousness lord let this be my heart's desire lord i pray for a heart of worship like david i too want to chase after your heart i too want to worship you in spirit and in truth dear god give me the boldness of the three hebrew boys The boldness to remove every idol in my life the boldness to refuse to bow down to anything that tries to take your place in my life

my favor and to my advantage and so i acknowledge that i need your wisdom lord i want to take this time to offer up praises and thanksgiving to you thank you for hearing my prayer In the name of jesus christ i pray amen heavenly father this world this life can be filled with sorrow tragedy and pain father i pray that these trials these sufferings that may be presented to us as your children i pray that they would never overwhelm us it is your strength that i will seek lord jesus Even when i feel as though
everything is falling apart for me i will seek your strength and presence continually your word says in first chronicles 16 verse 11 seek the lord and his strength seek his presence continually lord give me the presence of mine and the maturity to understand that at times where i feel like i'm about to break you will never send me a trial that is Too much for me to bear give me the grace father to have the presence of mind that realizes that the trials sent my way are actually designed to build me to build my faith
in you my trust in you my reliance on you help me to realize that the trials i go through are not your punishment but instruments of your loving discipline You've been faithful all throughout my life and i declare your word second corinthians chapter four verse eight to nine says we are afflicted in every way but not crushed perplexed but not driven to despair persecuted but not forsaken struck down but not destroyed through all the suffering in this world We praise you god we praise you because we are not crushed under the weight of pain we
are not driven to despair under the weight of tribulation we are not forsaken in the fight we face and we certainly are not nor will we be destroyed in jesus name i come to you now in humble adoration of your power and glory i submit to your ways which are higher Than mine because in your infinite wisdom you take what is evil and work it for good you take what is meant for harm and use it to bring about your plan of salvation and so i can trust that none of my suffering is ever wasted
for you always create beauty out of ashes you create something new out of what has been destroyed So lord build me lord make me the type of believer that you want build a godly character within me through my successes and failures build me up through my victories as well as my defeats help me to worship you not just when my life is going well but even in my deepest struggles like joseph and so many others before me Help me to suffer well help me not to be resentful for the things you allow me to face
instead i pray that you would expand my view so that i can see how you're using them for something greater help me not to sink into depression when challenges come my way instead enable me to have a cheerful and joyful attitude knowing that every little Detail i'm worried about will all work out for my good and for your glory lord i know that if you allow me to suffer it is ultimately because you love me and because you have my best interests in mine and every trial i encounter is not meant to break me but
to build me and teach me the extent of your grace and mercy lord I would much rather suffer and find you in the process than go through a life of comfort without ever recognizing my need for you so father whatever it takes to draw me closer to you and draw closer to me i pray that you would fill me with your peace give me the eyes of faith lord because so often i can see only the mountain Ahead of me but lord you see the entire picture what i perceive to be long seasons of suffering
are but light and momentary afflictions when compared to the glory that is to be revealed in eternity thank you for your sovereignty and for your kindness in my life it's in jesus name i pray amen lord jesus I pray that i would not be accustomed to or conformed to this world philippians 3 verses 20 through 21 say but our citizenship is in heaven and from it we await a savior the lord jesus christ who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body by the power that enables him even to subject all things
to himself thank you lord for this blessed and reassuring word that my citizenship is In heaven with you i belong with you lord and heaven is my home this is why i understand that friendship with the world is enmity with god and so i do not wish to be a friend of the world and make myself an enemy of the one true god but i would rather be rejected by the world and accepted by you lord jesus Father in the moments when i feel like holding on to things that you're calling me to let go
of may the holy spirit press upon my heart and remind me of your sacrifice on the cross fill my heart with an enthusiasm for your kingdom [Music] as your word tells me father help me to seek first the kingdom of god and all its righteousness Lord let this be my heart's desire lord i pray for a heart of worship like david i too want to chase after your heart i too want to worship you in spirit and in truth dear god give me the boldness of the three hebrew boys the boldness to remove every idol
in my life The boldness to refuse to bow down to anything that tries to take your place in my life i pray that i would be willing to give up everything for you because you gave it all for me may i be obedient to your word and take up my cross each day and follow you father i know that you call me not to a life of comfort but to one of sacrifice i know that this life will not be easy The narrow road will not be easy but by your grace i pray that i
will find the strength to march forward i know that to follow you lord is to give up every other allegiance but i also know that you're of far more value than anything i could lose help me to let go of every idol that i've been clinging to lord give me a willing and obedient Heart like abraham let me gladly lay down my most prized possessions and build you an altar of worship all i have all that i am god it all belongs to you so let my body be a living sacrifice to you holy and
pleasing set apart for service in your kingdom help me to build my life upon you even if it means giving up things that i Love and treasure give me the courage to trade good things for the best things whatever you call me to do wherever you call me to go may i do it gladly and without hesitation help me not to mourn the things i lose but rejoice in what i have gained your word says whoever loves his life will lose it but whoever lays it down will find it in the end Lord i lay
my life before you now trusting that whatever i give up will be multiplied in eternity give me faith to say the course lord even when i can't see the outcome abraham didn't know that you would spare isaac but he trusted that your plan was far greater than his may my life always reflect that willingness to sacrifice everything to obey your perfect will Jesus i come before you with open hands withholding nothing from the one who owns all things lord jesus i believe that you are my keeper you are my shepherd and you are the prince

you are a god who sees beyond the veil you see beyond the facade that we put on for the world you are a god who sees right into our souls i pray and i yearn for your gaze over my life over my family because unlike the human eye when you see me jesus when you look down on me from your heavenly throne You see all that's in my heart you see all that troubles and hurts me you see all of my struggles and pain you see the innermost parts of me and i am grateful because
it's only you that can then make me whole [Music] it's only through your gaze that i can have all of my burdens and troubles lifted i speak the priestly blessing in numbers chapter 6 verse 24 to 26 over my life The lord will bless me and he will keep me the lord will make his face shine on me and be gracious to me the lord turned his face toward me and give me peace [Music] may this be my reality that your face will shine on me day and night that your face will turn towards me
each and every day and give me peace I desire for your eyes to fall on me because they are filled with compassion with mercy and unconditional love i am running into your arms jesus because it's in your loving embrace that i can stand up straight it's in your loving arms that i can say psalms 40 verse 2 he lifted me out of the slimy pit and out of the mud and mire and he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand in your arms i can rise up and stand
in Faith i can stand in boldness in your arms i am no longer bent over looking down in despair but i now have great posture i can stand and say i am healed i can stand and renounce the power of the devil i can stand with boldness and conviction and testify of the goodness of god thank you jesus that when i am weary i can come to you Thank you for your gentleness when the load is heavy i can find relief in you i have realized father that the only way to live is to stand
in the embrace of the one whose image i was created in i stand in your love jesus a love that is unconditional and pure and when i do this i am set free from the agony i am set free from the bondage of trying to fix everything on my own I laid arrest all of my burdens as i come before you no longer will my mind be clouded by worry by earthly troubles or shortcomings your love covers all your love is restoring your love men's broken hearts so i glorify your name jesus i'll praise you
forever because i believe that by faith you see me you rescue me and you'll never abandon But instead you'll be all that i need your word lord tells me that i will praise the name of god with a song i will magnify him with thanksgiving i am so thankful for your love king jesus that even though you knew everything about me you knew all of my shortfalls and all of my mistakes but yet you still died in my place opening up the way to eternal life for me i give you thanks lord jesus Even if
all my friends were to leave me and betray me [Music] i give you thanks lord jesus we bless your holy name amen lord jesus i would simply like to begin by praising you lord i adore you i lift your name up high you are unmatched in all your ways god [Music] you are uncontested in your authority there is no rival to you almighty god there is no equal to you my father lord i pray that you would increase my faith i pray that you would help me to overcome unbelief help me to crush any doubtful
thoughts that try and reason with probabilities Or statistics help me lord to walk by faith and not by sight because as i do so as i walk by faith i know that there is no statistic that matters there is no probability that matters the only thing that does matter is you king jesus lord your word says in mark 11 verses 22 To 24 have faith in god truly i say to you whoever says to this mountain be taken up and thrown into the sea and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he
says will come to pass it will be done for him therefore i tell you whatever you ask in prayer believe That you have received it and it will be yours lord help me to be confident in that word help me jesus and give me the grace to be able to have fearless faith a faith that is constant so that regardless of what the situation is i can remain rooted and firm in my belief in you should the test be a storm lord give me The faith to believe that you can calm the seas in my
life should my test be a mountain give me the faith to believe that you my king can level that mountain should my test even be a goliath lord give me the faith to believe that your power will defeat every giant lord when this world disappoints when it turns against me May the holy spirit constantly speak to me as a still small voice and may he reassure me that you are my rock when everything else is sinking sand ephesians 6 verse 16 says in all circumstances take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish
all the flaming darts of the evil one help me lord jesus to take up that protective shield of faith a shield that renders the devil's Attacks useless lord even as i request that you increase my faith i pray that you would press upon my heart a need and a desire to search your word daily because the bible says in romans 10 verse 17 so faith comes from hearing and hearing through the word of christ i bless your name lord jesus and i ask that you would search me and remove anything That hinders the growth of
my faith if it's the people around me who are always discouraging i pray that you would remove them king jesus if it's pain then father i ask you to heal me anything that might possibly be weighing me down i pray that you would lift my burdens i will continue to trust in you i will continue to cast my cares on you I will continue to place my faith and my hope in you lord you are the one who is who was and who will forever be and i thank you for loving me ever so deeply
may your holy presence be with me now and always lord continue to strengthen me and continue to increase my faith in jesus name i pray Amen [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] hmm [Music] [Music] [Music] you
