Oh Father God - you are holy and I lift up those that need You and need to know You as Savior and Lord. Make people miserable without You Lord. Make their lives tough till they find You and depend on You Jesus. In the City where I live, Albuquerque, bring people to a knowledge of You. Help me be Your vessel in helping them see the truth of You and the realness of You. Challenge those in my family to know You and make you the reason for their lives to be lived. Change Hearts God. For Your Glory. Amen.

Perhaps losing a relationship

Lord, thank you for speaking to me and helping me see that deep down my desire for people to know Christ is often colliding with my desire for people to like me. I am trying to manage both instead of choosing and trusting you for the outcome - and making knowing Christ most important. Yes, God, help me to know or how to know when to "lose" a relationship potentially and speak more frank to people about faith. Yes, I want there to be great outcomes by me doing this in which people come to know You after I have taken the attitude of losing the relationship, but Lord, I know also know I can't make that a formula. Heavenly Father, if I lose this relationship because I spoke about You, as hard as that loss would be for me, I would be OK with that. Free me up to venture and view relationships as a steward, not control it as if it were my possession. You are the Sovereign Master. Have Your way. Lord, I pray that I would be a faithful steward to You in all things. Help me to not ...

Titus 3:1-7 Prayer

I've started something a little different lately and that is as I'm listening to sermons or reading Christian articles, rather than taking notes, I'm turning those notes into prayers. I am patterning this off of John 17 and Jesus (High Priestly) Prayer as he spoke theology in those verses and confirmed truths with the Father while also praying for His disciples and for all believers.  Here is a prayer after reading and studying Titus 3:1-7 Thank you God for your salvation. That we are not saved by our works. But You remind me of my need to do good works. You have set and established rulers over us. You remind me to obey You first and foremost. Lord, make my speech gentle, humble, and be gentle to all people. I am reminded God that I once was foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures. I have been captive to passions and pleasures. Make me more understanding of lost people’s current condition. You are my Savior. You have saved me by Your kindness...

Lord, what a privilege it is each day to grow in my relationship with You because I know each day how prone I am to go a different direction. I struggle Lord daily to seek my own will and think that my life is meant to serve myself. I thank you for the time to reflect on You and all that You have for me. Help me to have my day defined by You and then to know how you are leading me. I feel at times that You speak to me in so many ways. And yet I am not sure that my focus is securely on You, but I thank You that Your spirit is at work in me, speaking to Me and giving me strength and direction each day. Guard my steps. Help me to follow Your guidance so that I find wisdom to serve You in every situation. Keep me humble as I am often not serving You or have that tendency each day. Keep me productive. Keep me doing what I should be doing. As Peter might have been misguided in his approach with you thinking that He was doing good, keep me focused on the big picture and remembering the words ...
