The Only Potentate, is Lord Jesus Christ.

 The Only Potentate

Let's turn and read the Bible in  1 Timothy, chapter 6, verse 15.

There is a song entitled, "In Christ Alone", you know the singularity of that. In Christ Alone, no one else can. 

No one else can heal the wounded like he can. No one else. Exclusive. You see that. 

Another song title, You Are The Greatest Thing To Me. See that superlative. Singularity. I was listening to all that, rummaging on that, thinking all that things, meditating on that, open the Scriptures, I sat down with the Bible, I say, where is it, Lord? What is the text.

That's why I asked the Lord  to help us to bring out from the text. We need to see verse 14, to get some context on the text of verse 15. Let's read verse 14 , “¹⁴That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:” “¹⁵Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;”“¹⁶Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.”

Notice, in verse 16,  who only hath immortality, and in verse 15, the title, the text,  the only Potentate. You see it?

The blessed and only Potentate. Potentate, that's a word that's not commonly used today. But it is an excellent word. In case you don't know exactly what that is, it is describing the Lord Jesus Christ , let me tell you. 

Potentate is one who posseses great power. As a sovereign, or a monarch. Or a ruler. A sovereign is one possessing supreme political power and authority. And a monarch is a person who reigns over a kingdom. One who holds preeminent position and power

So, let's listen to that again. So I run through the definition. Because definition just a tendency to be, just a little bit , you know, sterile, if you will because you just see more words just describing another word, that's been used. 

Because it says here, " one who posseses great power. " 

So, in that word Potentate , we see the great power of the Lord Jesus Christ.

But He possesses great power as a sovereign. A monarch. A ruler. 

Sovereign is a word we often use, so that is one possessing supreme , the highest political power, authority over some thing he's governing. But in addition, he has the authority. 

The definition for Potentate says, he possesses power as a monach, you probably know what a monarch is, a monarch is a royalty, a king, or a queen. A person who reigns. The one who holds preeminent power and position . 

Power, authority, rule, those are words connected to  this word, Potentate. 

And notice, when the Bible describe him, it didn't say a Portentate. Did it? The only , the only Potentate. Just like no one else can. 

Just like the greatest thing ever happened to me. Like , In Christ Alone. There's something very exclusive , that Timothy has received from Paul in his writing, is now been given us as scripture. There is only One of these in the entire universe. And Jesus Christ is that One. Therefore, capital letter P , Potentate. The Only Potentate. 

And so, by looking at the things that define the word, Potentate, we can then, talk more specifically about why it is so important to us that Jesus Christ is this Potentate . Why is he the only one? 

And I will say this to you. Many of you, most of you here today, are already saved. So ,this should encourage you in your relationship with Jesus Christ. 

 Well, there might be very well somebody here today who is not saved. That is, you never personally trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour. You want to pay careful attention to what you're hearing today.  Because God can use this in your life , like God is using my preaching in my life, to bring you to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.  And if you get saved here today, after coming here lost, you'll never look back this day with regret. 

We sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me yesterday, that's my biological birthday, yesterday. This, today could be your spiritual birthday. You don't want to miss your party. You know. 

So,  here is the only Potentate . And what is that? 

First of all, in that word, we see here is preeminence.

你百分之百确定自己会上天堂吗？

 这是一个非常深刻的问题。如果你今晚去世，你是否百分之百确定自己会上天堂？

说实话，大多数人会这样回答：“嗯，我希望如此。”或者他们会说：“这是什么问题？谁又能确定呢？”

这两种回答都没有回答我们提出的问题。你要么确定，要么不确定。问题的答案只有“是”或“否”。你是否确定，如果你今晚去世，你会上天堂？或者，你是否不确定自己会上天堂？圣经是这样说的：“你们的话，是就说是，不是就说不是；若再多说，就是出于那恶者。”（马太福音 5:37）

那么，你会如何回答这个问题呢？你是否确定？ 如果你回答“否”，那么我们有好消息要告诉你。圣经说你可以确切地知道。你可能会问，圣经哪里这么说的？圣经在约翰一书5章13节中说，你可以确切地知道你死后会上天堂（或者，如果你不接受耶稣基督在髑髅地完成的赎罪，也会下地狱）。

请阅读约翰一书5章13节。神说：“我将这些事写给你们信奉神儿子之名的人，要叫你们知道自己有永生，并且叫你们信奉神儿子的名。”祂没有说“……叫你们盼望自己有永生”，也没有说“……叫你们以为自己有永生”，祂说的是“……叫你们知道！”

你想知道你死后会上天堂吗？ 如果你愿意，我们会从圣经的角度来告诉你答案。

首先，你必须认识到自己是罪人。这应该不难，因为圣经上说：“因为世人都犯了罪，亏缺了神的荣耀”（罗马书 3:23）。我们曾一对一地与成千上万的人交流，只有三个人在听到这节经文后说他们不相信自己是罪人。而且，在每一个案例中，当他们看到圣经中对“罪”的定义时，他们都立刻承认自己是罪人。

有一个人说他不相信自己是罪人。 我们给他看了圣经中关于神如何定义罪的三节经文（约翰一书 3:4；凡犯罪的，就是违背律法；违背律法就是罪。箴言 24:9；愚妄的计谋是罪，亵慢人是可憎的。雅各书 4:17；人若知道该行善而不去行，这就是他的罪了）。他没有被我们提醒，就承认自己犯了奸淫罪，谦卑地跪在阿拉巴马州莫比尔市中心的人行道上，接受基督为他的救主。

另一位是一位老妇人，她一生堪称典范。她的一生就是一个光辉的见证。她把孩子教养得很好，持家有道，顺服丈夫，并且从不咒骂、酗酒或吸烟。但是，当我们向她讲解马太福音 22:37-38 中最大的诫命时，她承认自己违背了这条诫命。 她意识到，尽管她一生中做了许多善事，但违背最大的诫命却让她成了最大的罪人。在她位于佛罗里达州彭萨科拉的家中，她低下头，相信基督会赦免她的罪。

一位女士在彭萨科拉市中心的一个公交车站说她不是罪人。当她的丈夫加入谈话时，他问她：“你想让我告诉那个人你昨晚做了什么吗？”（罗马书 3:12）“不想！”“你想让我告诉他你今天早上说了什么吗？”（马太福音 12:36）“不想！”“那你打算怎么告诉那个人呢？”她看着我们说：“先生，我是个罪人。”我们在公交车站带领她认识了主。信不信由你，你也是个罪人。

第二，你的罪必须得到偿还。 如果你想知道代价是什么，去墓地看看就知道了。人终有一死。《圣经》说：“罪的工价乃是死”（罗马书 6:23）。如果你没有某种力量可以对抗地心引力，你的身体不仅会化为灰烬，你的灵魂也会坠入地狱。正如耶稣所说：“那能把灵魂和身体都灭在地狱里的，你们要敬畏他”（马太福音 10:28）。

从那里，你将进入永恒的烈火，上帝会将死亡、地狱、魔鬼、堕落天使（恶魔）以及所有被诅咒的人都扔进火湖。《启示录》20:15 说：“凡名字没有记在生命册上的，就被扔在火湖里。” 这难道不可怕吗？真是悲剧。上帝从未想过让你去那里，但如果你没有耶稣基督，你终究会去那里。

 第三，耶稣基督已经为你过去、现在和将来所有的罪付出了代价。既然你的罪已被赎清，你为何还要选择下地狱呢？圣经在这点上说得非常清楚。不要让任何宗教教义阻碍你相信上帝的话语。请看提摩太前书2:5-6：“因为只有一位上帝，在上帝和人之间也只有一位中保，乃是降世为人的基督耶稣；他舍己作万人的赎价。”难道你看不出这赎价也包括你吗？

耶稣基督替你承担了罪的全部刑罚。你注定要死，所以他替你而死。你注定要下地狱，所以他替你下了地狱。他以自己的生命代替你的生命，以自己的死亡代替你的死亡，为的是要偿还你的罪债，并将他的义白白赐给你（哥林多后书 5:21）。他不愿一人沉沦（包括你）（彼得后书 3:9）。但你可能会说，反正人都会死，我最终都会死。是的，但圣经说，基督徒死后，“……是离开身体，与主同在”（哥林多后书 5:8）。这与灵魂下地狱，最终葬身坟墓是不一样的（启示录 21:8）。

最后，你必须悔改你的罪，接受耶稣基督。你可能会问，悔改是什么意思？ 路加福音 13:3 说：“你们若不悔改，都要如此灭亡。” 悔改意味着你改变对罪的看法。你要真正地以神的视角看待自己和你的罪。这不仅仅是为自己被抓而感到懊悔，更是为自己身为罪人而感到懊悔。简而言之，你要意识到：“神啊，你是对的，我是错的。”

使徒保罗在使徒行传 20:21 中传讲：“当向神悔改，信靠我们的主耶稣基督。” 因此，除了悔改之外，你还必须凭着信心接受耶稣基督。正如约翰福音 1:12 所说：“凡接待他的，就是信他名的人，他就赐他们权柄作神的儿女。”

 你看，救恩在于耶稣基督，而非在于物质或善行。人们常常误把行善当作救恩。你的善行是你所做的，而救恩是神已经为你成就的。你必须接受耶稣基督。祂是唯一能拯救你的。“你们得救是本乎恩，也因着信；这并不是出于自己，乃是神所赐的；也不是出于行为，免得有人自夸。”（以弗所书 2:8-9）

圣经说：“你若口里认耶稣为主，心里信神叫他从死里复活，就必得救。因为人心里相信，就可以称义；口里承认，就可以得救。” “凡求告主名的，就必得救。”（罗马书 10:9-10, 13）

你若口里认耶稣为主，心里信神叫他从死里复活，就必得救。因为人心里相信，就可以称义；口里承认，就可以得救。正如经上所说：“凡信他的人，必不至于羞愧。”因为犹太人和希腊人并没有分别，因为众人同有一位主，他也厚待一切求告他的人。因为经上说：“凡求告主名的，就必得救。”

你是否渴望在“求告主名”这件事上得到一些帮助呢？ 那么，不妨试试这样祷告：

¶ 亲爱的主，我知道我是个罪人，我知道我正在走向地狱。我不想去那里。我渴望你拯救我，在我死后带我上天堂。所以，现在，我尽我所能地悔改，求你拯救我。我接受你作我的救主。求你用你的圣灵充满我，帮助我活出基督徒的生命。奉耶稣的名祷告，阿们。

现在，如果你相信神的话语，接受耶稣，你就会确切地知道你死后要去哪里。你会去天堂！记住约翰一书5:13：“我写这些事给你们信奉神儿子之名的人，要叫你们知道自己有永生。”

100% sure that you would go to heaven?

 Here is a very profound question. If you were to die tonight, are you 100% sure that you would go to heaven? 

Truthfully, most people answer the question like this: “Well, I hope so.” Or they say, “What kind of question is that, nobody can know for sure.”

Neither one of those responses answers the question that we asked. You either know for sure or you don’t. The question is answered either “YES” or “NO“. Do you know for sure, if you died tonight, that you would go to heaven? Or, do you NOT know for sure that you would go to heaven? The Bible puts it like this, “But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil,” (Matthew 5:37).

Now, how would you answer the question? Do you know for sure, or don’t you? If you answer the question, “No,” then we have some good news for you. The Bible says that you can know for sure. You say, where does it say that? The Bible says that you can know for sure that you are going to heaven (or hell for that matter, if you reject Jesus Christ’s finished atonement on Calvary) in 1 John. 5:13.

Read 1 Jn 5:13. God says, “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” He didn’t say, “… that ye may hope that ye have eternal life.” Nor did he say, “… that ye may think that ye have eternal life.” He said, “… that ye may KNOW !”

Would YOU like to know that you are going to heaven when you die? If you would, we’ll show you how from the Bible.

FIRST, you have to know that you are a sinner. That shouldn’t be so hard, since the Bible says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God,” (Romans 3:23). In dealing with literally thousands of souls one-on-one, we’ve only had 3 people say they didn’t believe that they were sinners after they heard that verse. And in every case, they each admitted that they were sinners as soon as they saw what the Bible calls sin.

One man said that he didn’t believe he was a sinner. We showed him three verses from the Bible on what God calls sin (1 John 3:4;Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. Proverb 24:9; The schemes of folly are sin  and people detest a mocker. James 4:17;  If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.) Without prompting, that fellow admitted to adultery, and in humility knelt on the sidewalk in downtown Mobile, AL, Alabama and trusted Christ as his Saviour.

Another was an elderly lady who had lived an exemplary life. Her life was a glowing testimony. She had raised her children right, kept the home, submitted to her husband, and kept her mouth from cursing, liquor and tobacco. But, we showed her the greatest commandment from Matthew 22:37-38, and she admitted that she had broken it. She realized that breaking the greatest commandment made her the greatest sinner, in spite of all the good works that she had done in her life. In her own home, in Pensacola, FL, Florida, she bowed her head and trusted Christ to take her sin away.

One lady, at a bus stop in downtown Pensacola, FL, said she wasn’t a sinner. When her husband got into the conversation, he asked her, “Do you want me to tell that man what you did last night?” (Rom. 3:12) “No!” “Do you want me to tell him what you said this morning?” (Matthew 12:36) “No!” “Then what are you going to tell that man?” She looked our way and said “Sir, I’m a sinner.” We led her to the Lord at the bus stop. Believe it or not, you are a sinner.

SECOND, your sin has to be paid for. In case you are wondering what the payment is, just go to the graveyard. Every body dies. The Bible says, “The wages of sin is death,” (Romans 6:23). If you don’t have something in you to defy gravity, not only will your body wind up in a grave, or ashes but also your soul will wind up in hell. As Jesus said, “fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell,” (Matthew 10:28).

From there, you will go to a fiery eternity, when God throws death, hell, the devil and fallen angels (demons), and all the damned into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15 says, “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Isn’t that horrible? It’s just tragic. God never intended for you to go there, but you will if you don’t have Jesus Christ.

THIRD, Jesus Christ already paid for all of your past, present and future sins. Now why would you to choose to go to hell with your sins paid for? The Bible is so clear on this point. Don’t let some religious doctrine keep you from trusting what God said. Look at 1 Timothy 2:5-6, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all.” Don’t you see that payment includes you?

Jesus Christ took your complete punishment for sin. You have to die, so he died in your place. You have to go to hell, so he went to hell for you. He literally substituted his life for yours and his death for yours that he might pay for your sins and give you his righteousness as a free gift (2 Corinthians 5:21). He is not willing that any (that includes you) should perish (2 Peter 3:9). But, you say, I am going to die anyway because all men die. Yes, but when a Christian dies, the Bible says, “…absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord,” (2 Corinthians 5:8). That’s not the same thing as winding up in a grave with your soul in hell (Revelation 21:8).

FINALLY, you have to repent of your sin and receive Jesus Christ. You say, what do you mean repent? Luke 13:3 says, “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” To repent means that you change your mind about sin. You actually look at yourself the way God sees you and your sin the way God sees it. It’s more than being sorry that you got caught, it’s being sorry for what you are, a sinner. Basically, you realize, “God, you are right and I am wrong.”

Apostle Paul preached in Acts 20:21, “repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” So, in addition to repenting, you must also receive Jesus Christ by faith.” As John 1:12 says, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”

You see, salvation is in the Man, Jesus Christ, not in things or good works. People often mistake doing good works for salvation. Your good works are what you do, but salvation is what God has already done for you. You must receive Jesus Christ. He is the only one who can save you. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast,” (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The Bible says, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved,” (Romans 10:9-10, 13). (⁹ If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. ¹¹ As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, ¹³ for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”)

Do you want some help in “calling upon the name of the Lord?” Then try praying like this. 

¶ Dear Lord, I know I am a sinner and that I am on my way to hell. I don’t want to go there. I want you to save me and take me to heaven when I die. So, right now, the best way I know how, I repent and ask you to save me. I receive YOU as my Saviour. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and help me to live as a Christian, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Now if you believe God’s words and receive Jesus, you’re going to know for sure where you are going when you die. You are going to go to heaven!! Remember 1 John 5:13. - I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

If you have recently trusted Jesus Christ, contact us and we will send you some information to help you get started as a Christian. 

When I am ....,, I will trust in You, LORD” (Psalm 56:3)

Someone or something upsets you: “When I am angry, I will trust in You.”

Your schedule (or life) seems to spin out of control: “When I am stressed, I will trust in You.”

Someone offends or hurts you: “When I am hurt, I will trust in You.”

Your physical, mental or emotional resources run out: “When I am exhausted, I will trust in You.”

Comparisons with others assail you: “When I feel insecure, I will trust in You.”

You lose someone or something: “When I am grieving, I will trust in You.”

Loneliness strikes: “When I am lonely, I will trust in You.”

You’re having trouble waiting for someone or something: “When I am impatient, I will trust in You.”

Someone lashes out: “When I am under attack, I will trust in You.”

You’re confused: “When I don’t know what to do, I will trust in You.”

See how well it works? And those are just a start. This Psalm 56:3 prayer can be adapted to practically any emotion or situation. Try it, and adapt it to your need-of-the-moment, in every moment.

Psalm 56

For the director of music. To the tune of “A  Dove on Distant Oaks.” Of David. A miktam. When the Philistines had seized him in Gath.

1 Be merciful to me, my God,

    for my enemies are in hot pursuit;

    all day long they press their attack.

2 My adversaries pursue me all day long;

    in their pride many are attacking me.

3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

4 In God, whose word I praise—

in God I trust and am not afraid.

    What can mere mortals do to me?

5 All day long they twist my words;

    all their schemes are for my ruin.

6 They conspire, they lurk,

    they watch my steps,

    hoping to take my life.

7 Because of their wickedness do not let them escape;

    in your anger, God, bring the nations down.

8 Record my misery;

    list my tears on your scroll—

    are they not in your record?

9 Then my enemies will turn back

    when I call for help.

    By this I will know that God is for me.

10 In God, whose word I praise,

    in the Lord, whose word I praise—

11 in God I trust and am not afraid.

    What can man do to me?

12 I am under vows to you, my God;

    I will present my thank offerings to you.

13 For you have delivered me from death

    and my feet from stumbling,

that I may walk before God

    in the light of life.

Trust in You

(by Lauren Daigle)

Letting go of every single dream

I lay each one down at Your feet

Every moment of my wandering

Never changes what You see

I've tried to win this war, I confess

My hands are weary, I need Your rest

Mighty Warrior, King of the fight

No matter what I face, You're by my side

When You don't move the mountains I'm needing You to move

When You don't part the waters I wish I could walk through

When You don't give the answers as I cry out to You

I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You

Truth is, You know what tomorrow brings (tomorrow brings)

There's not a day ahead You have not seen (You have not seen)

So, in all things be my life and breath

I want what You want, Lord, and nothing less

When You don't move the mountains I'm needing You to move

When You don't part the waters I wish I could walk through

When You don't give the answers as I cry out to You

I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!

I will trust in You!

You are my strength and comfort

You are my steady hand

You are my firm foundation; the rock on which I stand

Your ways are always higher

Your plans are always good

There's not a place where I'll go, You've not already stood

When You don't move the mountains I'm needing You to move

When You don't part the waters I wish I could walk through

When You don't give the answers as I cry out to You

I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You

I will trust in You

I will trust in You

I will trust in You

主耶稣基督，教导我们一起祷告，并凭智慧行事。

 即使在艰难时期也能成长吗？

人生中的大多数争战都是肉眼看不见的。

因此，对于信徒而言，智慧并非可有可无。

智慧帮助你看清真相，并帮助你按照神的呼召做出回应。

你并非生活在一个中立的世界。

你正行走在属灵的战场上，那里有各种阴谋诡计旨在削弱你的信心。

圣经在以弗所书 6:11-12 中提醒你，你蒙召要穿戴神所赐的全副军装，因为你的争战并非仅仅是与属血气的争战。

这意味着仇敌喜欢那些看似正常的干扰。他喜欢那些看似人际冲突的攻击。他喜欢那些看似生活压力的攻击。

但在这一切背后，隐藏着一个阴谋。

而仇敌首先攻击的目标之一就是团结。

魔鬼竭力在信徒之间、基督里的朋友之间、祷告的夫妻之间、以及本应团结一致的家人之间制造不和。

魔鬼为何如此？

因为合一的力量无比强大。当神的子民真正团结在一起时，伟大的事就会发生。

看看早期教会所发生的事。《使徒行传》2:1-2记载：“五旬节到了，门徒都聚集在一处。

忽然，从天上有响声下来，好像一阵大风吹过，充满了他们所坐的屋子。”

请注意，在神的大能运行之前发生了什么。他们聚集在一起，同心合意。他们没有竞争，没有争强好胜，也没有试图超越彼此。

他们的焦点是主耶稣基督。

他们的心意相通。圣灵的大能就运行在那里。

现在想想你自己的生活。

如果你和另一位信徒同心合意，同心合意，真诚祷告，你是否明白上帝能为你开启怎样的大门？

如果你的家成为每日祷告的场所，你是否看到平安如何重现，智慧如何增长，力量如何在艰难时期也得以增强？

这正是仇敌试图破坏这一切的原因。他会让你觉得祷告很麻烦。

他会让你觉得合一很难。

他会让你觉得小事比实际更大。他会诱惑人们往最坏处想，说话不谨慎，心怀怨恨，耿耿于怀，最终选择退缩。

如果他能让信徒彼此分离，他就能让他们灰心丧气。

如果魔鬼能让家庭无法一起祷告，他就能让他们在属灵上毫无防备。

你已经看到，人们在娱乐、饮食、旅行计划和聚会上达成一致是多么容易。

每个人都只为玩乐而来。

每个人都会抽出时间去做那些感觉有意义的事。

但到了祷告的时候，却突然变得难以集中精神，难以专注，难以持之以恒。

这就是阻力。

而这正是你需要智慧的地方，因为智慧能帮助你识别属灵的模式。

神愿意赐予你那神圣的智慧。

雅各书1:5说，人若缺少智慧，就当求那厚赐与众人的神。

所以，你现在可以来到主面前说：“主耶稣，求你开启我的双眼。帮助我看清我所面对的一切。帮助我以恩典和洞察力来回应。

帮助我停止凭肉体行事，开始凭圣灵而行。” 祷告很重要。

还有一件事能立即增强你的生命。

建立你个人的祷告生活。是的，但不要止步于此。

找个人一起祷告。

时常与另一位信徒一同祷告。

与家人一起祷告。

与配偶一起祷告。

与孩子一起祷告。

即使一开始只是小小的举动，也要真诚。

要持之以恒。

耶稣基督亲自应许信徒同心合意地祷告。

马太福音18:19-20说：“若是你们中间有两个人在地上同心合意地求什么事，我在天上的父必为他们成全。因为无论在哪里，有两三个人奉我的名聚会，那里就有我在他们中间。”

这是耶稣基督告诉我们，合一能以一种特别的方式邀请祂的同在。

合一意味着归于一位主，一个真理，一个目标，并同心合意地祷告。

在信仰上的合一对神来说弥足珍贵。

诗篇133篇1节说：“看哪，弟兄和睦同居，是何等的善，何等的美！”在祷告中，与神同在。

在信仰上的合一不仅令人愉悦，更充满力量。

它营造了一种氛围，使人得以医治，使重担得以减轻，使信心得以重燃。

当你感到软弱时，祷告伙伴可以帮助你站立得住。传道书4章9-10节提醒我们：“两个人总比一个人好；若是跌倒，这人可以扶起他的同伴。”

这并不意味着你要依靠人而不是耶稣基督。

而是意味着神常常通过基督的身体来坚固你。

当我们一起祷告时，我们彼此激励，互相扶持。

 当你谦卑地坦白自己的挣扎时，你就不再给敌人留下任何暗中攻击你的空间。

彼得前书5章8-9节警告我们要警醒，因为魔鬼正在寻找可吞吃的人。这节经文呼召我们以坚定的信心抵挡他。

抵挡魔鬼的方法之一是与另一位基督徒保持祷告的联结。

所以，祈求主耶稣差遣一位祷告伙伴给你。

祈求天父在你生命中安排一位与你一同祷告而不是与你闲言碎语的人。

一位与你同在而不是消耗你精力的人。

祈求天父安排一位说真话的人。在你等候的时候，要坚持祷告，不断寻求神。

如果教会内部出现了分裂，就把它带到耶稣基督面前。

如果你一直心怀怨恨，就把它带到耶稣基督面前。

如果你一直感到孤立无援，就回到祂身边。天父喜爱坚固祂的儿女，祂喜爱在爱中建立祂的教会。

让这成为你今天迈出的一步。

 选择合一，而非分裂。

选择智慧，而非冲动。

并且要相信，当神的子民奉他的名聚集在一起时，他仍然是那位以大能行事的神。

现在，让我们一起祷告片刻。

🙏🏽：主耶稣，我不愿我的家充满混乱，也不愿分裂夺走您渴望赐予的平安。

我祈求您使我的家庭合一，并使我们一致相信耶稣基督是万王之王，万主之主。

愿这成为我们共同生活的真理。

帮助我们在人生的每个阶段都同心合意。

主啊，我渴望我的家人能够一起祷告。

我渴望我的家成为一个荣耀您名的地方，一个彼此饶恕的地方，一个培养耐心的地方，一个爱胜过骄傲的地方。

教导我们一起寻求您的面。

 教导我们一同谦卑自己。

教导我们选择和平而非争对错。

你的话语让我明白，合一不仅是美好的愿望，更是你心中神圣的渴望。

所以，主啊，我祈求你赐予我恩典，使我成为和平的缔造者。

愿我的言语带来医治，而非伤害。

愿我的态度反映基督，而非肉体。

主啊，求你差遣人进入我的生命，与我一同祷告。

求你差遣信徒来到我身边，鼓励我的信心，与我一同寻求你的面。

我祈求你让我被深爱你的人环绕，他们认真祷告，忠心耿耿，并且不以你的同在为耻。

求你除去那些使我远离你的关系，让我与那些使我更亲近你的关系相连。

你创造了基督的身体，为的是让我们彼此团契、互相扶持、彼此坚固，我不愿独自走完人生旅程。

求祢帮助我不要孤立自己，不要因为过去的伤痛而对人心生疑虑。

求祢医治我心中那些紧闭的心扉，再次教导我如何以智慧和敬虔的方式信靠祢。

我紧紧抓住祢在罗马书15章5-6节的应许：“愿赐忍耐和安慰的神，照着基督耶稣，叫你们彼此同心，好叫你们一心一口荣耀我们主耶稣基督的父神。”

主啊，我祈求祢使这应许在我生命中成为现实。

求祢赐给我与信徒同心合意的灵，这灵不是基于性格、背景或喜好，而是基于基督耶稣。

愿祢的爱和真理塑造我的人际关系。

愿我的家庭、友谊和团契成为一心一口荣耀祢的地方。

主耶稣，求祢赐给我恩典。 与朋友、家人和信徒同在，彼此扶持。

求祢帮助我像祢一样珍视属灵的合一。

有时我的情绪容易激动，有时我想要逃避，但我祈求祢帮助我以智慧回应。

求祢帮助我先倾听，再发言。

求祢帮助我在犯错时道歉。

求祢帮助我在受伤时宽恕他人。

求祢帮助我拒绝分裂的骄傲，拒绝使人心刚硬的固执。

愿圣灵塑造我的反应，因为我渴望我的生命反映祢的心意。

奉耶稣基督的大能之名，我斥责仇敌的诡计。

我宣告，魔鬼无法使我的家庭陷入纷争。

我宣告，他无法使我周围的信徒之间产生纷争。

 我拒绝一切分裂的计划、一切冒犯的灵、一切误解的模式，以及一切默默的苦毒循环。

我拒绝让仇敌在我家中分裂和征服。

主啊，我祈求您揭露隐藏的真相，纠正错误，修复破碎的一切。

愿平安、尊重和爱回归。

主啊，我也为每一位聆听的人祷告，因为唯有您了解他们的处境。

您知道他们生命中哪些部分正遭受攻击。

您知道他们害怕的谈话、紧张的关系、压抑的家庭氛围和摇摇欲坠的友谊。

然而，即便在这一切之中，我们依然仰望您。

您在诗篇46篇1节中说：“神是我们的避难所，是我们的力量，是我们在患难中随时的帮助。”

所以，我祈求您此刻就成为我们随时的帮助。

 介入每一个问题，让你的存在带来平静、方向和希望。

主耶稣基督，你是我的盾牌，我的捍卫者。

你是我的磐石。

 诗篇28篇7节说：“耶和华是我的力量，是我的盾牌；我的心倚靠他，我就得帮助。”

所以，我选择信靠你，主啊。

我无法靠自己医治破碎的家庭。

我无法靠自己修复破裂的婚姻。

我无法靠自己的力量修复破碎的家。

主啊，但你能。

你能软化刚硬的心。

你能重建受损的一切。

你能使悲伤重燃，喜乐重现。

所以我祈求你成就唯有你能成就的事。

主啊，求你使我们合而为一，荣耀你的名。

求你使我们同心寻求你的名。

愿祷告在我家中再次兴起。

愿敬拜在我心中再次涌流。

愿我的信心胜过恐惧。

当你带领人们进入我的生命时，也求你帮助我活出维护合一的生命。

求你帮助我记住…… 罗马书12章14-16节的教导：

逼迫你们的，要为他们祝福。要祝福，不可咒诅。与喜乐的人要同乐，与哀哭的人要同哭。要彼此同心。不要骄傲，倒要俯就卑微的人。不要自高自大。

主啊，求你赐给我一颗祝福而非咒诅的心。

求你赐给我一颗与人同乐、同人同哀哭的心。

求你除去我的骄傲和自负。

求你教导我效法耶稣基督的谦卑。

主啊，愿我的心纯洁。

愿我永不因骄傲或苦毒而疏远他人。

愿基督的爱体现在我待人接物的方式、我的言语和我的回应中。

愿我成为你赐予周围人的祝福。

帮助我以真诚的爱去爱人。 愿你行事为人充满智慧，为和平挺身而出。

愿我的人际关系反映出耶稣基督的光辉。

主耶稣，我赞美祢的圣名。

感谢祢再次接纳我。

奉耶稣基督的名祷告。

阿们。

亲爱的圣徒弟兄姐妹，若这篇祷告触动了你的心，请以“阿们”作信心的见证。

我祈求这篇祷告中的所有祝福都临到你，奉主耶稣基督的名。

如果你需要特别的祷告，请随时告诉我们。我们很荣幸能为你祷告。

愿我们主耶稣基督的恩典与平安常与你同在。阿们。

让你以信心和祝福开启新的一天。

 感谢上帝赐予你充满力量的晨祷，让你以信心和祝福开启新的一天。

无论昨天如何，今天都是新的开始，新的起点，又一次机会，让你行走在上帝爱的光芒中。你今天早上醒来是有原因的，因为上帝还没有放弃你。

也许最近生活很沉重。

也许你一直在默默承受着无人知晓的重担，独自战斗，不知何时才能有所改变。但请听我说：上帝没有忘记你。祂的应许依然有效。祂的爱依然拥抱着你。今天，当你踏入祷告的时刻，一些事情即将发生改变。上帝正在动工。即使你看不见，祂也在为你敞开大门，开辟道路，预备突破。祂就是那位创造宇宙万物、平息风暴、扶持疲惫之人的上帝。祂此刻就与你同在。所以，深呼吸。放下恐惧、疑虑和压力。 

此刻神圣无比。这祷告是一份宣告。当我们高声感恩时，请期待改变的发生。因为当我们感谢神时，我们邀请祂的同在。当我们赞美时，我们开启祂的力量。当我们相信时，奇迹就会发生。

因为当我们一同祷告时，天国之力涌动。你准备好了吗？

天父，全能永生的神，今天清晨，我怀着一颗充满感恩的心来到祢面前。在我祈求任何事之前，在我提出任何需要之前，我只想说声谢谢。感谢祢赐予这崭新的一天。感谢祢赐予我生命，感谢祢赐予我呼吸，感谢祢赐予我身体的力量。感谢祢让我能够再次站起来，睁开双眼，迎接日出，再次踏入祢恩典的怀抱。这一天并非理所当然，这一刻也并非我所拥有。这是祢赐予的礼物，我谦卑地接受。

主啊，你是良善的，你是信实的，你是永不改变的。

即使周遭世界变幻莫测，即使境遇动摇我的心，即使生活充满迷茫，你依然如故。

你是我的磐石，我的避难所，我的坚固堡垒。

在你里面，我找到稳固。

在你里面，我找到盼望。

在你里面，我找到超越一切理解的平安。

父啊，我承认，没有你，我一无所有。

没有你的恩典，我必迷失。

没有你的怜悯，我无法站立。

我呼吸的每一口气都源于你的良善。

我走的每一步都源于你的手的引导。

我将今日交托给你。主啊，求你走在我前面。

指引我的脚步，引领我的心。愿你的旨意今日成就在我身上。

父啊，有时我的信心软弱，恐惧的低语在我心中滋生。 当怀疑试图扎根，当焦虑试图蒙蔽我的心灵，

但今天，我选择信靠你的应许。

你的话语说，你永不撇下我，也不丢弃我。

你的话语宣告，凡为攻击我而造的武器都必不奏效。

你的话语提醒我，靠着那加给我力量的基督，我已得胜有余。

所以今天，我选择信靠而非恐惧。

我选择相信，祢正在为我的益处而努力，使万事互相效力。

即使在等待中，即使在试炼中，即使在我不明白的时候，我也信靠祢，主。

我相信祢正在谱写一个远超我所能理解的伟大故事。

我相信祢为我制定的计划是美好的。

我相信每一扇紧闭的门，每一次延迟，每一次失望，都只是为了成就更美好的事。

父啊，我将我的重担卸给祢。

祢知道我心中沉重的负担。

祢看见我未曾言说的挣扎。

祢明白我所面临的挑战，我流下的泪水，以及我在寂静的夜里默默的祷告。

我将一切都交托在祢的脚前。

我放下忧虑的重担。

我将我的一切忧虑都交托给祢。

 你是我的供应者，我的医治者，我的开路者。

我无需独自面对一切，因为一切都在你掌控之中。

主啊，我祈求你的同在充满我的每一天。

愿你常在我心中，使我思想良善、纯洁和真实的事物。

愿你常在我口中，使我言语充满生命，而非毁灭。

愿你常在我行动中，使我能将你的爱传递给周围的人。

帮助我行在仁慈、耐心和恩典之中。

愿我的生命成为你良善的活见证。

父啊，我感谢你为我打赢了那些看不见的争战。

感谢你保护我免受危险，你阻挡攻击，你关闭陷阱，因为它们本不该临到我。

即使我看不见，你也一直在动工。

即使我感觉不到，你也一直在运行。

 为此，我赞美你。

主啊，感谢你赐予我生命中的人。

感谢你赐予我的家人。

感谢你赐予我那些始终支持我的好朋友。

感谢那些在我最意想不到的时候伸出援手的陌生人。

主啊，求你祝福他们，庇护他们，供应他们所需，在他们需要的时候与他们同在。

对于那些伤害过我、亏待过我、给我带来痛苦的人，我将他们交托给你。

求你教导我像你一样去爱，像你一样去饶恕，像你一样慷慨地施予我恩典。

神啊，我知道你是行神迹的神。没有什么事是你做不到的，没有什么事是你做不到的。

所以今天，我凭着信心，相信会有突破。

我祈求身体得医治，关系得以修复，在看似无路可走的地方，为你敞开大门。 

我宣告，愿今日充满神圣的机遇、意想不到的祝福和超自然的恩典。

天父，愿今日与众不同。愿今日充满祢的同在、祢的平安和祢的大能。

愿我的心与祢的心始终合一。

愿我的灵敏锐地聆听祢的引领。

愿我的生命成为荣耀祢名的器皿。

主啊，我敞开我的心扉，渴望更多地领受祢，更多地领受祢的智慧、祢的力量、祢永不改变的爱。

求祢使我渴慕祢的同在，深深渴慕祢的公义，这渴慕唯有祢才能满足。

这世界提供短暂的快乐，转瞬即逝的幸福，但祢，哦主，才是永恒喜乐的源泉。

我不愿被那些转瞬即逝的事物充满，我愿被祢充满。

主啊，求祢除去我里面一切与祢旨意不符的事物。 

若我心中有骄傲，求祢使我谦卑。

若我心中有怨恨，求祢软化我。

若我心中有恐惧，求祢以信心取代它。

若我一直倚靠自己的力量，求祢教导我依靠祢。

我不想凭自己的理解而活，也不想因急躁或绝望而做出决定。

我愿被祢的灵引领，求祢的圣灵今日指引我的脚步。

当我迷茫时，求祢赐予我智慧的声音。

当我需要远离诱惑时，求祢轻推我的心。

当我受诱惑偏离正道时，求祢使我坚定信念。

当我感到生活的重担难以承受时，求祢给予我安慰。

主啊，与我同行。请祢对我说话。让我更清晰地听到祢的声音。让我更深地认识祢。让我更完全地信靠祢。

主啊，我将我的梦想和渴望交托于你。

你洞悉我心中隐藏的每一个希望。

那些我默默祈祷的事。

那些我不敢说出口的事。

那些我渴望却又时常怀疑能否实现的事。但你是无所不能的神。

你是那在绝境中开辟道路的神。

你是那将哀恸化为欢笑，将灰烬化为美丽，将绝望化为喜乐的神。

所以今天，我将每一个梦想、每一个目标、每一个渴望都交托在你手中。

我信赖你的时间安排。我信赖你的计划。我信赖你为我预备的远超我所能想象。

父啊，当我感到疲倦时，请提醒我，你的力量在我的软弱中显得完全。

当我感到迷茫时，请提醒我，你是我脚前的灯。

当我感到自己不配时，请提醒我，我是你奇妙的创造。

 当我感到孤独时，请提醒我，你永远不会离弃我。

当我感到焦虑时，请提醒我，你的掌管着我的未来。

我无需惧怕前路，因为你走在我前面。

我无需背负明日的重担，因为你已为我预备了道路。

主啊，我不仅为自己祷告，也为我身边的人祷告，我的家人、朋友、仇敌、我所爱的人。求你丰盛地祝福他们，用你的保护遮盖他们，在他们挣扎中赐予他们力量，在他们痛苦中安慰他们，医治他们破碎的心灵。主啊，求你引领他们更亲近你，使他们能体验到唯有你能赐予的平安和喜乐。

天父，我知道今天不会完美。或许会有挑战，或许会有挫折，或许会有沮丧的时刻。

但我现在宣告，无论发生什么，我都会坚守我的信仰。

我不会被环境所动摇。

 我不会让仇敌夺走我的喜乐。

我不会让恐惧在我心中扎根，因为你与我同在，你比我可能面对的一切都要强大。

主啊，在我怀疑的时刻，请提醒我你已赐予我的胜利。

你过去曾带领我渡过难关，将来也必如此。

你过去信实，将来也必信实。

我不会惧怕未知，因为我知道祂掌管一切。

我举起双手降服。我敞开心扉敬拜。我高声赞美，因为祢配得一切荣耀，主啊。

祢是全能的。祢是圣洁的。祢是至高无上的。

无人能与祢相比。主耶稣基督，没有任何名号能超越祢。

没有任何力量能胜过祢的力量。

你永远掌权，我选择信靠你。

主啊，我安静地来到你面前。

在这静谧的时刻，我承认你的同在。你就在这里。你就在我身边。

你不是一位遥不可及、冷眼旁观的神。

你是与我同行、扶持我、用爱环绕我的神。

父啊，我感谢你赐予我无数的恩典，即使我常常忽略它们。

那些看似简单却意义深远的恩赐：我呼吸的空气、我心脏的跳动、阳光的温暖、我头顶的庇护、我餐桌上的食物。这些并非微不足道的小事。

这些都是你供应的记号，是你信实的明证。

即使生活艰难，即使我面临试炼，我仍然有理由赞美你。

主啊，我安静地来到你面前。

在这静谧的时刻，我承认你的同在。你是我的神。

 我仍然有理由赞美你。主啊，我祈求你今天开启我的双眼。

帮助我看清你掌管的一切。

在造物之美中，在陌生人的善意中，在爱人的欢笑中，在宁静祥和的时刻。

愿我不将这些恩赐视为理所当然，而是让我的心充满感恩。

天父，我承认，有时我过于关注自己的匮乏，而忽略了此时此刻所拥有的。

有时我沉溺于忧虑，却忽略了祢的应许。

有时我任由恐惧发声，而不是用对祢话语的信心来平息它。

但今天，我选择不同。

今天，我选择定睛仰望祢。

祢是我的供应者。祢是我的源泉。祢是我的依靠。祢是我的一切。

当我软弱时，祢是我的力量。

当我迷茫时，祢是我的智慧。

当我破碎时，祢是我的医治者。

当我感到孤独时，祢是永不离弃的朋友。

 无论我走到哪里，你的爱都能触及我。

无论多么黑暗的时刻，你的光芒都能穿透一切。

主啊，我将我的忧虑交托给你。

那些令我夜不能寐的焦虑，那些压在我肩上的重担，那些令我不安的疑虑，我都将它们交托在你的脚前，主啊。

你的话语教导我不要为任何事忧虑，只要凡事藉着祷告、祈求和感恩，将我的需要告诉你们。

所以，主啊，我来到你面前，将一切都交托给你。

求你挪去我的重担，赐予我平安。

求你挪去我的疑惑，赐予我信心。

求你挪去我的恐惧，赐予我对你的信靠。

父啊，我知道你为我的人生预备了计划。

这计划远胜过我自己所能构想的一切。

即使我有时不明白你引领我的道路，但我相信那是正确的。

你看见我看不见的。

你知晓我所不知的。

你为我预备的，是我无法想象的。

所以今天，我选择凭信心而行，而非凭眼见。

我选择相信，每一次延误、每一次绕路、每一扇紧闭的门，都是您神圣计划的一部分。

即使事与愿违，我也不会灰心丧气，因为我知道您为我预备的计划更高远、更伟大，并且永远是为了我的益处。

主啊，我祈求您今天保护我的心思意念。

愿一切消极的念头都无法扎根。

愿仇敌的谎言都无法胜过我。

愿真理、希望与平安充满我的心思意念。

求您保守我的心，远离苦毒、愤怒，远离一切试图将我拉离您爱的事物。

帮助我像您一样去爱，像您一样饶恕他人，像您一样施予恩典。

愿我的言语给周围的人带来生命和鼓励。

愿我的行为彰显您的良善。

愿我的心成为您爱的所在，让您的爱深深地充满我，并满溢到他人的生命中。 父啊，我今天祈求祢赐予我智慧。

智慧，让我能做出正确的决定。

智慧，让我能分辨哪些是出于祢，哪些不是。

智慧，让我能行在祢的旨意中。

我不想倚靠自己的聪明，我愿被祢的圣灵引领。

主啊，请祢对我说。

指引我。

引领我走当行的路。

我今天祈求祢赐予我超自然的恩典。

愿祢以我从未预料的方式为我敞开大门。

愿祢赐予我靠自己无法把握的机会。

愿祢与神建立联系，引领我走向更伟大的使命。

主啊，我相信祢在幕后默默工作，为我的益处安排一切。

主啊，我知道今天并非一帆风顺。

或许会有沮丧的时刻，困难的时刻，或许我会感到忧虑或压力。

但当那些时刻来临，请提醒我转向你。

提醒我，你是我的避难所。

你是我的盾牌。

在患难之时，你是我的帮助。

当我面对障碍时，求你赐予我忍耐。

当我面对失望时，求你赐予我新的视角。

当我面对拒绝时，请提醒我，我已被你接纳。

愿今日没有任何事物夺走我的喜乐。

愿没有任何事物动摇我的平安。

愿没有任何事物让我忘记，我是神的孩子，蒙受你无限的爱，被你握在手中。

天父，我祈求今日的医治。

医治我的心，医治我的思想，医治我的身体。

我为我身边那些正在挣扎、生病、悲伤、默默承受苦难的人祷告。主啊，求你触摸他们。

求你赐予他们力量。

提醒他们，他们并不孤单。  

求祢将祢的平安赐给他们的心，将祢的医治赐给他们的身体，将祢的安慰赐给他们的灵。

祢是耶和华拉法，医治的神。

祢是耶和华以勒，供应的神。

祢是耶和华沙龙，赐平安的神。

没有什么事是祢做不到的。

没有祢不能医治的疾病，没有祢不能改变的境况，没有祢不能修复的心灵。

所以我将一切需要都交托给祢，因为我相信祢有能力。

主啊，我提前感谢祢即将成就的事。

我感谢祢即将带来的突破，感谢祢已经开始的神迹，感谢祢在属灵领域已经取得的胜利。

我或许还没有看到，但我相信。

我或许还没有感受到，但我知道这一切正在发生，因为祢是信实的，祢总是守约。

 主啊，当我祷告结束，我的敬拜并未结束。

我的感恩并未结束。

我的信心并未结束，因为祢，哦，主啊，是永恒的。

因此，我对你的信赖永不动摇。

天父，感谢你垂听我的祷告。

感谢你与我同在。

感谢你聆听我的每一句话，甚至那些我无法说出口的话语。

你洞察我的内心。你了解我的渴望。你理解我的挣扎。

即使我无法用言语祷告，你仍然完全知道我的需要。

我感谢你，不仅为我看得见的，也为我看不见的。

感谢你为我争战。

感谢你为保护我而关闭的门。

感谢你曾对我说“时机未到”，因为你正在为我预备更好的。

感谢你允许我走过低谷，因为你知道在谷的另一端，有一座山峰在等待着我。

我感谢你在挣扎中赐予我的教训，在试炼中赐予我的力量，在等待中获得的智慧。

 因为一切，每一份喜悦，每一个挑战，每一刻，都是您完美计划的一部分。

我或许并非总是能理解，但我选择信靠您。

即便今天事与愿违。

即便我遭遇失望，即便我的祷告没有立即得到回应，我依然会说：“感谢主。”

因为我的信心不在于我所见。

而在于您的本质。

您是良善的。您是信实的。

无论发生什么，你都配得我的赞美。

所以今天，我满怀信心地向前迈进。这信心并非来自我自己，而是来自你。

我知道我并非孤身一人。

我知道你走在我前面，与我同在，在我身后。

我被庇护。我被保护。我被爱。

我宣告，今天是蒙福的一天。

今天充满你的恩典。

今天是充满神圣机遇、意想不到的祝福和超自然平安的一天。

主啊，现在，我将一切都交在你手中。

我的忧虑、我的梦想、我的恐惧、我的未来，这一切都属于你。

我将凭着信心而行，而非凭着眼见。

我将信靠你的良善。

我不仅要用言语赞美你，更要用我的生命赞美你。

奉主耶稣基督无比伟大、无与伦比的名祷告。

阿 们。

 朋友，愿你凭着信心前行，今日蒙祂恩典。阿门。

Prayer to Start Your Day with Faith & Blessings

 Thank You, God For A Powerful Morning Prayer to Start Your Day with Faith & Blessings

No matter what yesterday looked like, today is a new beginning, a fresh start, another chance to walk in the light of God's love. You woke up this morning for a reason, because God is not finished with you yet. 

Maybe life has been heavy lately. 

Maybe you've been carrying burdens that no one sees . Fighting battles in silence, wondering when things will change. But hear this. God has not forgotten you . His promises are still alive . His love is still holding you. And today, as you step into this moment of prayer, something is about to shift. God is working. Even when you don't see it, He is opening doors, making a way, preparing breakthroughs. The same God who spoke the universe into existence, who calms the storms, who lifts the weary. He is with you right now. So take a deep breath. Let go of the fear, the doubts, the stress.

This moment is sacred. This prayer is a declaration. And as we lift our voices in gratitude, expect something to change. Because when we thank God, we invite His presence. When we praise, we unlock His power . When we believe, miracles happen. 

Because when we pray together, heaven moves. Are you ready? 

Heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, I come before you this morning with a heart full of gratitude, before I ask for anything, before I lift up my needs, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for this new day. Thank you for the gift of life, thank you for the breath in my lungs, thank you for the strength in my body. Thank you for the ability to rise again, to open my eyes, to see sunrise, to step into another opportunity to walk in your grace. This day is not promised. This moment is not owed. It is a gift, one that I receive with humbleness. 

Lord, you are good. You are faithful. You are unchanging. 

Even when the world around me shifts, even when circumstances shake me, even when life feels uncertain, you remain the same. 

You are my rock, my refuge, my strong tower. 

In you, I find stability. 

In you, I find hope. 

In you, I find peace that surpasses all understanding.

Father, l acknowledge that without YOU, I am nothing. 

Without your grace, I would be lost.

Without your mercy, I could not stand.

Every breath I take is because of your goodness. 

Every step I walk is because of your hand guiding me. 

I surrender this day to YOU. Go before me, oh Lord. 

Order my steps. Direct my heart. Let your will be done in my life today. 

There are moments, Father, when my faith feels weak. When fear whispers lies into my mind . When doubt tries to take root, when anxiety attempts to cloud my spirit. 

But today, I choose to stand on Your promises. 

Your Word says that you will never leave me nor forsake me. 

Your Word declares that no weapon formed against me shall prosper.

Your Word reminds me that I am more than a conqueror through Christ who strengthens me.

So today, I choose faith over fear.

I choose to believe that YOU are working all things together for my good. 

Even in the waiting, even in the trials, even when I don't  understand, I trust YOU, Lord. 

I trust that YOU are writing a greater story than I  can see. 

I trust that Your plans for me are good. 

I trust that every closed door, every delay, every disappointment, is just a setup for something greater. 

Father, I lift up my burdens to YOU. 

YOU know the things that weigh heavy on my heart.

YOU see the struggles I do not speak of.

YOU understand the battles I face, the tears I cry, the silent prayers I whisper in the stillness of the night.

I lay it all at Your feet.

I release the weight of worry. 

I surrender my cares to YOU.

YOU are my Provider, my Healer, my Way Maker.

I do not have to figure everything out on my own because YOU are in control.

Lord, I ask for Your Presence to fill every part of my day . 

Be in my thoughts that I may think on things that are good , pure and true.

Be in my words that I may speak life and not destruction. 

Be in my actions that I may reflect Your Love to those around me. 

Help me to walk in kindness, in patience, in grace.

Let my life be a living testimony of Your goodness.

Father, I thank you for the unseen battles YOU have already fought on my behalf. 

The dangers YOU have protected me from, the attacks YOU have blocked, the trap doors you have closed, because they were not meant for me.

YOU are always working even when I cannot see it.

YOU are always moving even when I do not feel it. 

And for that I praise YOU.

Thank you Lord for the people in my life.

Thank you for the family YOU have given me.

Thank you for the kind friends who stand by me.

Thank you for the strangers who have shown  kindness when I least expected it. 

Bless them, Lord. Cover them. Provide for them. Meet them at their point of need.

And for those who have hurt me, those who have wronged me, those who have caused pain to me,  I release them to YOU. 

Teach me to love as YOU love, to forgive as YOU forgive, to extend grace as YOU have so freely given me.

God, I know that YOU are the God of miracles. Nothing is too hard for YOU. Nothing is impossible in Your hands. 

So today, I stand in faith believing for breakthroughs. 

I pray for healing in bodies, for restoration in relationships, for open doors in places where there seem to be no way. 

I declare that today be filled with divine opportunities, unexpected blessings and supernatural favour.

Father, let this day be different. Let it be marked by Your Presence, by your peace, by your power.

Let my heart remain in alignment with YOU.

Let my spirit be sensitive to Your leading.

Let my life be a vessel that brings glory to Your name.

I open my heart wider, Lord, to receive more of YOU, more of Your wisdom, more of Your strength, more of Your unfailing love. 

Fill me with a hunger for Your Presence , a deep thirst for Your Righteousness, a longing that only YOU can satisfy.

This world offers temporary pleasures, fleeting moments of happiness, but YOU, oh Lord, are the source of eternal joy. 

I do not want to be filled with what fades. I want to be filled with YOU.

 Lord, strip away anything in me that does not align with Your will.

If there is pride in my heart, humble me.

If there is unforgiveness, soften me. 

If there is fear, replace it with faith. 

If I have been walking in my own strength, teach me to lean on YOU.

I do not want to live according to my own understanding, making decisions out of impatience or desperation.

I want to be led by your Spirit, Your Holy Spirit guide my steps today.

Be the voice that speaks wisdom when I am uncertain. 

Be the nudge in my heart when I need to turn away from distractions.

Be the conviction when I am tempted to stray.

Be the comfort when the weight of life feels too heavy.

Walk with me, LORD. Speak to me. Let me hear YOU more clearly. Let know YOU more deeply. Let me trust YOU more completely. 

Lord, I lift up my dreams and desires to YOU.

YOU know every hope hidden in my heart.

The things I pray for in silence. 

The things I dare not speak aloud. 

The things I long for but sometimes doubt will come to pass. But YOU are the God of the impossible.

YOU are the One who makes a way where there is no way.

YOU are the One who turns mourning into dancing, ashes into beauty, despair into rejoicing.

So today, I surrender every dream, every goal, every longing into YOUR hands.

I trust YOUR timing. I trust YOUR plan. I trust that what YOU have for me is far greater than anything I could imagine. 

Father, when I feel weary, remind me that Your strength is made perfect in my weakness.

When I feel lost, remind me that YOU are the Lamp to my feet.

When I feel unworthy, remind me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

When I feel alone, remind me that YOU will never forsake me.

When I feel anxious, remind me that YOU hold my future. 

I do not have to fear what is ahead because YOU go before me.

I do not have to carry the weight of tomorrow because YOU have already prepared the way .

And LORD, I pray not only for myself but also pray for those around me, my family, my friends, my enemies, my loved ones. Bless them abundantly. Cover them with Your protection. Strengthen them in their struggles. Comfort them in their pain. Heal them where they are broken. Draw them closer to YOU, LORD, so that they may know the peace and joy that only YOU can give.

Father, I know that today will not be perfect. There may be challenges. There may be setbacks. There may be moments of frustration. 

But I declare right now that no matter what happens, I will hold on to my faith.

I will not be shaken by circumstances.

I will not let the enemy steal my joy.

I will not allow fear to take root in my heart because YOU are with me and YOU are greater than anything I may face. 

Lord, in moments of doubt, remind me of the victories YOU have already given me. 

YOU have carried me through before and YOU will do it again.

YOU have been faithful in my past , and YOU will be faithful in my future.

I will not be afraid of the unknown because I know the One who holds it all in His hands.

I lift my hands in surrender. I lift my heart in worship. I lift my voice in gratitude because YOU are worthy, LORD. 

YOU are mighty. YOU are holy. YOU are sovereign.

There is no one like YOU. No name above Yours, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

No power greater than YOUR power.

YOU reign forever and I choose to trust in YOU.

I quiet my heart before you, Lord.

In the stillness of this moment, I acknowledge YOUR Presence. YOU are here. YOU are near.

YOU are not a distant God who watches from afar.

YOU are the God who walks with me, who holds me, who surrounds me with love. 

Father, I thank you for the countless blessings that I often overlook. 

The simple yet profound gifts, the air I breathe, the beating of my heart, the warmth of the sunshine , the shelter over my head, the food on my table. These are not small things.

These are signs of Your provision, evidence of Your faithfulness.

Even when life feels difficult, even when I face trials, I still have reasons to praise You. 

I quiet my heart before YOU, LORD. 

In the stillness of this moment, I acknowledge YOUR Presence. YOU ARE MY GOD. 

I still have reasons to praise YOU. LORD, I ask that YOU open my eyes today.

Help me to see Your hand in everything.

In the beauty of creation, in the kindness of a stranger, in the laughter of a loved one , in the moments of quiet peace.

Let me not take these gifts for granted, but instead let my heart overflow with gratitude.

Father, I confess that sometimes I focus too much on what I lack instead of appreciating what I have, right here and now.

Sometimes I dwell on my worries more than I dwell on Your promises.

Sometimes I let fear have a voice instead of silencing it with faith in Your Word. 

But today I choose differently.

Today I choose to fix my eyes on YOU.

YOU are my Provider. YOU are my Source. YOU Are My Sustainer. YOU are my Everything.

When I am weak, YOU are my strength.

When I am confused, YOU are my wisdom.

When l am broken, YOU are my healer. 

When I feel alone, YOU are the friend who never leaves.

There is no place I can go where Your love cannot reach me.

There is no moment too dark where Your light cannot shine through.

Lord, I surrender my worries to you. 

The anxieties that keep me awake at night, the burdens I carry on my shoulders, the uncertainties that make me feel unsettled, I lay them down at Your feet, LORD.

Your Word tells me not to be anxious about anything , but in every situation by prayer and petition with thanksgiving to present my requests to YOU .

So here I am, Lord, presenting everything to YOU.

Take my burdens and replace them with peace.

Take my doubts and replace them with faith.

Take my fears and replace them with confidence in YOU.

Father, I know that you have a plan for my life.

A plan that is greater than anything I could create for myself.

And even though I don't always understand the path YOU are leading me on, I trust that it is the right one. 

YOU see what I cannot see.

YOU know what I do not know.

You are preparing things for me that I cannot even imagine.

So today, I choose to walk by faith and not by sight.

I choose to believe that every delay, every detour, every closed door is part of Your divine strategy.

I will not be discouraged when things do not go as planned because I know that Your plans for me are higher, greater, and always for my good.

 Lord, I ask for Protection over my mind today.

Let no negative thoughts take root.

Let no lies of the enemy have power over me.

Fill my mind with truth, with hope, with peace.

Guard my heart from bitterness, from anger, from anything that tries to pull me away from YOUR Love.

Help me to love as YOU love, to forgive others as YOU forgive me, to show grace as you have shown me grace.

Let my words bring life and encouragement to those around me.

Let my actions reflect Your goodness.

Let my heart be a place where Your Love dwells so deeply that it overflows into the lives of others.

Father, I pray for Your wisdom today. 

Wisdom to make the right decisions.

Wisdom to discern what is from YOU and what is not.

Wisdom to walk in alignment with Your Will.

I do not want to rely on my own understanding but I want to be led by Your Holy Spirit. 

Speak to me, Lord. 

Guide me.

Lead me in the way I should go.

I pray for supernatural favour today.

That doors will open in ways I never expected.

That opportunities will come that I never could have orchestrated on my own.

That divine connections will be made that will lead me into greater purpose.

I believe Lord that YOU are working behind the scenes, setting things in motion for my good.

 Lord, I know that today will not be without challenges. 

There may be moments of frustration, moments of difficulty, moments where I am tempted to give in to worry or stress.

But when those moments come , remind me to turn to YOU. 

Remind me that YOU are my refuge. 

YOU are my shield.

YOU are my ever present help in times of trouble.

When I face obstacles, give me endurance.

When I face disappointment, give me perspective.

When I face rejection, remind me that I am already accepted by YOU.

Let nothing steal my joy today.

Let nothing shake my peace.

Let nothing make me forget that I am a child of God, loved beyond measure, held in the palm of Your hand.

Father, I pray for healing today. 

Healing for my heart, healing for my mind, healing for my body.

I pray for those around me who are struggling, those who are sick, those who are grieving, those who are battling in silence.  Lord, touch them.

YOU strengthen them.  

Remind them that they are not alone. 

Send Your peace into their hearts, Your healing into their bodies, Your comfort into their spirits.

YOU are Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals.

YOU are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides.

YOU are Jehovah Shalom, the God of peace.

There is nothing too hard for YOU.

No sickness YOU cannot heal, no situation YOU cannot change. No heart YOU cannot restore.

So I lift up every need to YOU, believing that YOU are able.

And Lord, I thank you in advance for what YOU are about to do.

I thank you for the breakthroughs that are coming, for the miracles that are already in motion, for the victories that have already been won in the spiritual realm.

 I may not see it yet but I believe it.

 I may not feel it yet but I know it is happening because YOU are faithful and YOU always keep Your promises.

Lord, as I come to the end of this prayer , I do not come to the end of my worship. 

I do not come to the end of my gratitude.

I do not come to the end of my faith because YOU, oh Lord, are eternal.

 And so my trust in YOU will not waver.

Thank you, Father, for hearing me. 

Thank you for being near. 

Thank you for listening to every word, even the ones I could not speak aloud.

YOU see my heart. YOU know my desires. YOU understand my struggles.

And even when I don't have the words to pray, YOU still know exactly what I need.

I thank you not only for the things I can see, but also for the things I cannot see. 

For the battles YOU have fought on my behalf.

For the doors YOU have closed to protect me.

For the times you said, "Not yet.", because you were preparing something better for me. 

For the times YOU allowed me to walk through valleys , knowing that on the other side there would be a mountaintop waiting for me.

I thank you for the lessons in the struggle, for the strength in the trials, for the wisdom gained in waiting.

Because everything, every joy, every challenge, every moment is part of Your perfect plan.

I may not always understand, but I choose to trust YOU.

And even if things don't go the way I hoped today.

Even if I face disappointment, even if I don't see an immediate answer to my prayers, I will still say, "Thank you , LORD."

Because my faith is not in what I see .

It is in who YOU are. 

YOU are good. YOU are faithful. 

And YOU are worthy of my praise no matter what.

So today I step forward in confidence. Not confidence in myself but confidence in YOU.

I know that I do not walk alone.

I know that YOU go before me, beside me, behind me.

I am covered. I am protected. I am loved. 

I declare that today is blessed.

Today is filled with Your favour.

Today is a day of divine opportunities, unexpected blessings, of supernatural peace. 

And now, Lord, I leave everything in Your hands .

My worries, my dreams, my fears, my future. They all belong to YOU.

 I will walk by faith, not by sight.

 I will trust in Your goodness.

I will praise YOU not just with my words but with my life.

 In the mighty, matchless, powerful name of Lord Jesus Christ, I pray.

Amen. 

Friend, Go forth in faith and walk in His favour today. Amen.
