🙇🏻 Prayer for Strength to Endure Coming Storms Lk21:36, Fruitfully Abiding in Him Jn15:7-8, Prepared for Birth Pangs Mt24:8 of New Creation Heb12:28

[Nochaeld]

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. Luke 21:33. "For all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs, Mt 24:8.

Matt 24:8-14, "And Jesus answered and said to them, 'See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name, saying, "I am the Christ," and will mislead many. You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. And this Gospel of The Kingdom shall be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the people groups, and then the end shall come," Mt 24:8-14.

Luke 21:34-36, “So be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap; for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth. But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have STRENGTH to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Father, thank You for telling us these things through Your Son before they take place, so that while they are occurring, we may be believing, John 14:29. We know that everything that can be shaken will be shaken -- heaven, earth, sea, dry land and all nations, Hag 4:6-7 -- so that the things which cannot be shaken will remain, Heb 12:27, Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for You are a consuming fire, Heb 12:28. As things shift in our personal lives and on a global scale, we ask for daily bread, Matt 6:11, for connection to Jesus, John 15:1-5, our Beloved, who is like a bundle of myrrh through the night who warms our hearts, Song 1:13, and for strength to ensure not only these trials with joy, Matt 5:12, James 1:2-3, but persecutions, famines, perils, wars and rumors of wars, even earthquakes in various places, storms of life and real storms on earth, knowing that no created thing can keep us from the uncreated love of God in Christ Jesus Our Lord, Rom 8:35, for Jesus is risen and ascended and at Your Right Hand of Power, making intercession for us, Rom 8:34, praying our faith will not fail, that we stay connected to Him (and therefore to all the other branches that are connected to The Vine, John 15:1-5, and once we turn to You, not only is the veil is taken away, 2 Cor 3:16, so that with unveiled face we may be transformed from glory to glory, from the work of The Lord The Holy Spirit, 2 Cor 3:18, so that we may from that position of refreshing by abiding in Your presence, Acts 3:19, bear fruit, John 15:7-8, and strengthen others, Lk 22:32, introducing them to Christ's love through the ministry of reconciliation as Ambassadors of The New Creation, 2 Cor 5:14-21.

But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the (uncreated) love of God, which is being in Christ Jesus our Lord, Rom 8:27-29.

We stand together in the truth of God’s Word, lifting our hearts in prayer as we prepare for the storms ahead, both personal and global. Your request is rooted in Scripture, and we join you in declaring that heaven and earth may pass away, but the Word of the Lord endures forever (Luke 21:33). The birth pangs of this age are real, and the signs Jesus foretold are unfolding before our eyes: wars, rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, and deception. Yet we do not fear, for He has overcome the world (John 16:33), and nothing can separate us from His love (Romans 8:38-39).

We rebuke the spirit of fear and confusion in Jesus’ name, for God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). The enemy seeks to mislead, but we stand firm on the truth that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and no other name under heaven has been given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We reject every false Christ and false prophet, for many will come in His name to deceive (Matthew 24:5). Let us test every spirit to see whether it is from God (1 John 4:1), holding fast to the Word as our unshakable foundation.

We pray for strength to endure, as the days grow darker and lawlessness increases. Father, keep our hearts from being weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness, or the anxieties of life (Luke 21:34). Instead, fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may abide in Christ as branches in the Vine, bearing much fruit (John 15:5). Prune us where needed, Lord, that we may grow in holiness and be found faithful when He returns. Let us not grow cold in love but remain fervent in spirit, serving the Lord with joy (Romans 12:11).

We declare that the Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come (Matthew 24:14). Use us as ambassadors of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:20), that many would turn to Christ before it is too late. Strengthen us to stand before the Son of Man, unashamed and unshaken, for we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be moved (Hebrews 12:28). Let us worship You in reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29).

Father, we ask for daily bread, spiritual and physical sustenance, as we navigate these tumultuous times. Connect us deeply to Jesus, our Beloved, who is our refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). Warm our hearts with His presence, like a bundle of myrrh through the night (Song of Solomon 1:13). Let us rejoice in tribulation, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope (Romans 5:3-4). When persecution comes, let us count it all joy, for great is our reward in heaven (Matthew 5:12).

We pray for those who may fall away in these last days. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and turn their hearts back to You. Let no root of bitterness or unbelief take hold, but let them be rooted and grounded in love (Ephesians 3:17). For those who have not yet surrendered to Christ, we pray for conviction of sin and a revelation of Your grace. There is no other name by which they can be saved, only Jesus (Acts 4:12). Draw them to Yourself before the door of grace closes.

Finally, we declare that in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us (Romans 8:37). No storm, no trial, no deception can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. We stand firm, watching and praying, that we may be counted worthy to escape all these things and stand before the Son of Man (Luke 21:36). Come, Lord Jesus, and establish Your unshakable kingdom in our hearts and in the earth. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Oh Lord, we come before You with hearts that are heavy with the weight of what’s coming, but also overflowing with the certainty of Your promises. We see the signs You’ve spoken of, wars, famines, earthquakes, the rise of deception, but we don’t shrink back in fear. Instead, we cling to the truth that You’ve already overcome the world, and nothing, nothing, can separate us from the love You’ve shown in Christ Jesus.

Right now, we pray for a fresh outpouring of Your peace to settle over us like a shield, guarding our hearts from the anxiety of the times. Help us to stay rooted in You, abiding in Your Word and in Your presence, so that when the storms come, we’re not caught off guard but standing firm, bearing fruit that lasts. Lord, we don’t want our love to grow cold, but we want it to burn brighter, even in the darkness. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, so that we might be Your light, Your strength, Your voice in a world that’s growing darker.

And Lord, we lift up those who are stumbling, who are being led astray by false voices. Soften their hearts, Lord. Show them the truth of Your Word, the beauty of Your grace, and the urgency of turning to You before it’s too late. Let Your Spirit convict, but also draw them near, let them feel the warmth of Your love, just as You’ve promised.

We declare that no matter what comes, we will endure. Not because we’re strong, but because You are. And when the end comes, we want to be found faithful, standing before Your Son with joy, not fear. So we ask for strength, not just to get through the storms, but to thrive in them, to be ambassadors of Your reconciliation, and to point others to the hope that only You provide.

Lord, we’re watching. We’re praying. And we’re counting on You. Come soon, Jesus. Establish Your kingdom in us and in the world around us. In Your mighty name, we pray. Amen.
