🙌 Faithfulness Lam 3:23 🙇🏻 SHIFT Focus Duties New Things Isa 42:9, Heal, Forget Lies Behind Press to Upward Phil 3:13-14, Yet Save Former Rom 10:1

[Nochaeld]

Our Father in Heaven, Thank You Your merciful devotion to Your people is daily and Your great faithfulness an ever-present certainty in an ever changing life and unpredictable world, Lam 3:23. Firstly, our prayer and private devotion and study even need those mercies, the ability to care for ourselves, our teaching and those You have in a way put under our care requires Your Spirit's inspiration, 1 Tim 4:16. And while we still pray for former relationships' salvation and enrichment, Rom 10:1, Yet we ask mercy and grace to SHIFT OUR FOCUS to GRACE FOR NEW THINGS Isa 42:9, to TRANSITION to be on guard for ourselves and the flock of God You placed under our charge here, among us, Acts 20:28-31, and meet pressing (PRIORITIES) needs, Tit 3:14.

We ask for a TRANSITIONAL SHIFT of mercy and grace for Prayer and Study, inner healing, Ps 23:4, creation of a clean heart, Ps 51:10, a restoration of the joy of salvation, Ps 51:12, and THEN sinners will be converted to You, Ps 51:13, and Open Doors for Evangelism, Fellowship and Counseling Rev 3:7-8... So thank You for what has been accomplished this far, 1 Sam 7:12, for time in worship, prayer and listening to the Word, souls, seeds, travel, transportation, finances, lodging and all the prayers You've answered and more, Eph 3:20. Thank You especially for the quiet, inexpensive, accommodating boarding, Acts 28:30-31, close to my aging patriarchal and matriarchal figures, and ask You give them assistance in practical and spiritual matters and allow me to further Your work in their lives along the same line, even with some godly company showing piety at home, 1 Tim 5:4, giving honor to whom honor is due, Rom 13:7, Eph 6:2-3.

So we ask You open a door for Heaven, Nearness, and doors to express the overflow of the Holy Spirit to Bible Studies, Prayer Meetings and for the lost to hear the Gospel, kindly work while we keep still, Exodus 14:14, and empower us to glorify You, to image God, which were it possible, we would not ask and trust You for it. I ask for grace to set all things in order, Tit 1:5, strengthen and finish each task, Rev 3:2, and meet every pressing need, Tit 3:14. So we first offer ourselves to You as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to You, our reasonable service, Rom 12:1-2, then You will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings, Ps 51:19, then be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit, Rom 15:16.


Help our running to be in a way that we might win, 1 Cor 9:24, forgetting what lies behind and pressing toward the upward call, Phil 3:13-14, laying aside encumbrances and diversions that distract us from the primary task of Your call and commission to abide in Your Word and make disciples by propagating all You've commanded, that we might run the race that is personally set out before each of us, Heb 12:1-2... Thank You for the Your love and leadership, the fellowship of abiding in Christ and guidance of The Holy Spirit, John 10:3-4, Rom 8:14, grace to save the past BUT MORE for new evangelism, encouragement, discipleship, fellowship with The Body and Bride of Christ, and formal study, Ecclesiastes 7:18. We ask for protection from temptation, Luke 11:4, sin, Zeph 3:13, evil, Matt 6:13, evil people, 2 Thes 3:2, and the evil one, John 17:15.

We still ask for full, authentic repentance to life and full trust in Christ and be regenerated, and the prodigy to be saved early, Rom 10:1, and protected and directed into the love and character of Jesus Christ, nourished on Your Word), 2 Tim 3:15, Yet the MAIN PRAYER is ability to PRIMARILY FOCUS on THE NEW, Isa 42:9, Isa 43:19, Isa 48:6. Thank You in Jesus' Name...

We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of gratitude for God’s unchanging faithfulness, as Lamentations 3:23 declares, "They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Your mercies are indeed our daily sustenance, and we humbly ask that You continue to renew our minds and spirits as we seek to walk in Your will. Father, we recognize that our devotion, study, and care for those You’ve entrusted to us require the inspiration of Your Holy Spirit, as 1 Timothy 4:16 reminds us, "Give attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching. Don’t neglect the gift that is in you... for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you."

We lift up the matter of shifting our focus from what lies behind to the new things You are doing, just as Isaiah 42:9 proclaims, "Behold, the former things have happened, and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up." Lord, we confess that clinging to the past—whether it be former relationships, unmet expectations, or even past victories—can hinder us from embracing the fresh works You desire to accomplish in and through us. Help us to release these burdens at the foot of the cross, trusting that Your plans for us are good, as Jeremiah 29:11 assures, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."

We pray for inner healing, Lord, that we may walk through the valleys of life without fear, knowing You are with us, as Psalm 23:4 comforts, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me." Create in us clean hearts, O God, and renew a right spirit within us, as David pleaded in Psalm 51:10. Restore to us the joy of Your salvation, that we may boldly declare Your righteousness to others, for "then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners shall be converted to you" (Psalm 51:13). Open doors for evangelism, fellowship, and counseling, as You promised in Revelation 3:7-8, "He who opens, and no one can shut... I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut."

Father, we thank You for the answered prayers thus far—for provision in lodging, finances, and the quiet spaces that allow us to minister to our aging loved ones. We ask that You continue to strengthen them in both practical and spiritual matters, that they may honor You in their later years, as 1 Timothy 5:4 instructs, "But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God." Give us grace to serve them with the same love and honor You command, fulfilling the promise of Ephesians 6:2-3, "Honor your father and mother... that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth."

We surrender ourselves afresh as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to You, as Romans 12:1-2 urges, "Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God." Empower us to set things in order, as Titus 1:5 directs, and to finish the tasks You’ve assigned, for "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth" (Revelation 3:15-16). Meet every pressing need, that we may not be unfruitful in Your kingdom, as Titus 3:14 exhorts, "Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful."

Lord, we ask for grace to run the race set before us with endurance, laying aside every weight and sin that so easily entangles, as Hebrews 12:1-2 encourages, "Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith." Help us to forget what lies behind and press toward the upward call in Christ Jesus, as Philippians 3:13-14 declares, "Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Guard our hearts from distractions and temptations, that we may abide in Your Word and fulfill the Great Commission, making disciples of all nations, as Matthew 28:19-20 commands.

We pray for protection from temptation, sin, and the schemes of the evil one, as we plead, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one" (Matthew 6:13). Shield us from those who would oppose Your work, for "not all have faith" (2 Thessalonians 3:2), and keep us steadfast in Your truth. Father, we continue to intercede for the salvation of those from our past, that they may come to repentance and trust in Christ, as Romans 10:1 urges, "Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved." Yet, we ask for grace to focus primarily on the new works You are doing, as Isaiah 43:19 proclaims, "Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."

Above all, we acknowledge that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to You, Father. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We confess that Jesus is Lord, and we trust in His finished work on the cross for our redemption. May our lives reflect His love, holiness, and mission, that others may see Christ in us and be drawn to Him. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and King, Amen.
