Good and Faithful Servant
Father, thank You that "through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures
we have hope," Rom 15:4. In the midst of trials, we pray, Jesus taught, Luke 18:1. So I supplicate, You who spared not Your Only Begotten Son, John 3:16, but with Him You will graciously give us all things, Rom 8:32, Help me study to show myself approved, 2 Tim 2:15, read and listen to good biblical counseling material, Ps 23:3, write prayers and teachings that benefit myself and others -- and may trials NOT HINDER the ADVANCEMENT OF THE GOSPEL of The KINGDOM of JESUS, 1 Thes 2:2, but rather let it go forth with power and be received as the actual Word, not of man, but of God, Rom 1:16, 2 Thes 2:13. Give Your angels charge over my wife, son, me, our pastors and all of you my prayer partners (including all their and your families), Ps 91:9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16. Sanctify us in the Truth, Your Word is Truth, John 17:17. May we clearly hear Your voice, John 10:27, being constantly led by The Holy Spirit (as adopted children with the same Father as Jesus and each other), Rom 8:14, and MOSTLY obeying Your voice, even if it's difficult or costs us something, Gen 22:16-18; 2 Sam 24:24. Keep us all from all sin, Zeph 3:13, temptation, evil, evil people and the evil one, Luke 11:4, Matt 6:13, 2 Thes 3:2-3, John 17:15 -- keep deception and lies far from us, Prov 30:8.
Again, allow trials to draw me (and our readers, prayer and financial partners) closer to You in prayer, James 5:13. Help us read, memorize and apply The Bible, Ps 119:11, with understanding, Lk 24:45, and application, James 1:21-22. Help me worship like Paul and Silas in the Philippian jail, Acts 16:25. Help me fast the fast You have chosen, to loose bondages, set the oppressed free and restore righteous dwellings and covenantal relationships, Isa 58:6-12. Thank You in Jesus' Name.
