🙌 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 for Your covenantal devotion to Your people, Hos 3:1-2, Your mercy is daily and Your great faithfulness an ever-present certainty in an ever-changing life and 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 Worship, 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 from 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, Matt 6:9. 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 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 stand in awe of Your covenantal love, which never wavers, even when we do. We lift up this request, acknowledging that every good gift comes from You, and we seek Your wisdom and strength to walk in the new things You are doing, just as Isaiah 42:9 promises: "Behold, the former things have happened, and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up."

Father, we recognize the tension between holding onto the past, even with godly concern for those we love, and stepping boldly into the future You have prepared. While we continue to pray for the salvation and spiritual growth of those from former seasons of life, as Romans 10:1 urges, we ask for the grace to shift our focus toward the new works You are unfolding. Help us to forget what lies behind and press forward toward the upward call in Christ Jesus, as Philippians 3:13-14 instructs. Let us not be weighed down by distractions or encumbrances but run with endurance the race set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-2).

We surrender our worship, prayer, and study to You, asking for inner healing and the creation of clean hearts within us (Psalm 51:10). Restore to us the joy of Your salvation, Lord, so that we may lead others to You with authenticity and power (Psalm 51:12-13). Open doors for evangelism, fellowship, and counseling, as You promised in Revelation 3:7-8, and let Your Holy Spirit overflow through us to reach the lost, build up the Body of Christ, and glorify Your name. We trust in Your promise that You will fight for us while we keep still (Exodus 14:14), and we ask for the strength to set things in order, finish the tasks before us, and meet every pressing need according to Your will (Titus 1:5, Revelation 3:2, Titus 3:14).

Lord, we offer ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to You, for this is our reasonable act of worship (Romans 12:1-2). Sanctify us by Your truth, that we may serve as priests of the Good News, offering up the Gentiles as an acceptable sacrifice to You (Romans 15:16). Guard our hearts from temptation, sin, and the schemes of the evil one (Luke 11:4, Zephaniah 3:13, Matthew 6:13, John 17:15), and empower us to walk in the love and character of Christ. Nourish us on Your Word, that we may grow in wisdom and discernment (2 Timothy 3:15).

Above all, we pray for the ability to focus primarily on the new things You are doing, as Isaiah 43:19 declares: "Behold, I will do a new thing. It will begin to happen now. Don’t you know about it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." Let us not cling to the past in a way that hinders Your work in the present. Instead, grant us the faith to embrace the future You have ordained, trusting that You are making all things new.

We ask these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach You and the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). Without Him, our prayers are powerless, and our efforts are in vain. But through His blood, we have bold access to Your throne, and through His resurrection, we have the hope of eternal life. May our lives reflect this truth, and may Your will be done in and through us for Your glory. Amen.

Oh Lord, we’re standing on the edge of what You’re calling us into, this shift toward the new. It’s not easy to let go of the familiar, especially when we’re still holding tightly to prayers for those we love, but we’re trusting You to show us how to release what’s behind without losing our grip on Your promises.

We feel the weight of the past, but You’re calling us to press forward like Paul did, running the race with endurance (Hebrews 12:1). Help us to see the new things You’re preparing, doors opening, hearts softening, and Your Spirit moving in ways we can’t yet imagine. We don’t want to be distracted by the noise of the past or the uncertainties ahead; instead, we want to walk in the clarity of Your voice.

Father, we surrender our worries about what we can’t control and ask for Your peace to guard our hearts (Philippians 4:6-7). Give us the strength to finish the tasks You’ve set before us, to love those You’ve placed in our care, and to trust that You’re working even in the wilderness. We want to be Your hands, Your voice, and Your light in this season.

Help us to forget what lies behind, not in a way that dismisses love, but in a way that lets us run with all we’ve got toward the upward call (Philippians 3:14). We’re counting on You to make a way where there seems to be no way, just like You promised in Isaiah 43:19. Let our lives reflect Your faithfulness, and may we be so full of Your grace that others see Jesus in us.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
