Matthew 26:41 (The Message) “Stay alert; be in prayer so you don't wander into temptation without even knowing you're in danger. There is a part of you that is eager, ready for anything in God. But there's another part that's as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire."

Palet, Deliverer,
You are holy and mighty. You fill all of eternity with Your power and glory. Angels surround Your throne and in awe sing Of Your majesty. We cannot even begin to imagine You. We cannot even begin to understand You. You love for us is amazing - Your love cradles us and protects us. We humble ourselves before You and surrender to You.
Jehovah-Rophe, Our LORD Who Heals, we pray for Bill, that Your healing touch will be on this blood clot in his leg, for Sharleen, that her recovery from these complications will be complete, for Sandy, that her prognosis will be good and that they have caught the cancer early enough, for Jennifer we ask for physical healing, and for comfort for her hurting spirit, for Johnetta and that her knee fully recovers from this surgery, for Pastor Gene as he continues to recover from his heart surgery.
Jehovah Shammah, our LORD Who is There, we ask that You continue to be there in the lives and situations of all who remain on our prayer list.
Zur, God our Rock, we are dependent on You for everything. Sometimes we go a little crazy in our heads and we think that we can do something on our own. But we can’t. You remain faithful to us when we are not faithful to You. Your love for us is as solid as the Rock that You are. You love us when we bless You, You love us when we curse You. Attiq Yomin, Ancient of Days, for all of eternity You are our unchanging God. Sometimes that is all that I have to hold on to in this world that could care less about me.
Strengthener, we call upon You and ask You to pour Your strength into our pastors. Surround them and protect them as they work unceasingly for Your glory. Thank You for their witness that reflects You are beautifully as a full moon in the starless sky.
Great I AM THAT I AM, be with Your missionaries as they serve You so faithfully and so courageously around the world. Grant them peace in their spirits.
Holy God, Help us to keep our focus on You at all times. Remind us that You are with us at all times and that we should always live our lives before an audience of One. Let the rest of the world fade away until there is only You. There is only You.
Forgive our nation, Righteous Judge. We humble ourselves before You and ask for healing in our land. Guide our leaders. Comfort and protect those who serve in our military.
Abba, give us unexpected moments of opportunity to share You with those who are in our lives, but do not know You.
LORD Jesus, You died to give us life. There is no love that we have ever experienced that can even begin to compare to this love. You are the reason that we smile. You are the reason that there is music in our souls. You are the reason for everything. And even more, You are the reason for our hope that will never die instead, it will be fulfilled around Your throne. We love You, LORD.
