Dear Father and Lord, I find myself again in this place. Laid off again. You know this world, the economy, and the situations of so many. Father hold us under your wing…
fill us with your spirit, give to us a measure of faith, give to us wisdom and patience to stand strong as you work to meet all of our needs. Help us to open our hearts and minds to the opportunities that you lay before us. Help us Lord in our struggle to fight against fear and depression..
help us to remember your words, “Did I not command you, do not be afraid.” Help us Father, lift us up and help us to find your will.
Please pray for my family and I. My mother, brother, and I are all in need of jobs. It is my prayer that we all find jobs that provide enough of a salary to live on and that are mentally and emotionally healthy work environments.
I pray, and ask if you’d also pray, that God opens these doors for my family and I soon. And that we are guided in the right direction. I for one, haven’t had a job in 3 months. I am scared, but for all of us, not just myself.
Father, Lord, I want to thank you for this wonderful life. I pray and ask that you continue to watch over my daughter. I know you are the greatest and there is no one greater than you. May your Holy Spirit touch her from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet. This disease is not for her, lord. I know you have greater things in store for her life and I put all my trust and home in You, My Lord. Recently, she’s been having anxiety attacks while she is in lecture class at university. She’s having fear that her sugar count is going low even though it’s not. Please take away that fear from her Lord. Please give her the courage and strength to go through this and to know that You are God and not to let fear take over her Faith in You. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Dear Almighty Lord God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit, I thank you for this day, for this is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. I thank you for my being able to see, and to hear, and to speak, and to feel, and to taste of Your good creation this day and every day. I’m blessed because you are such a loving and such a forgiving God, and such an understanding and caring God. You have done so much for me and yet you keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have ever done, or ever said or ever thought that was not pleasing to you. I say I am so sorry.I now repent and ask for your forgiveness. Please keep me safe O God From all danger, hurt, and harm. Help me to start this day and every day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day, To clear my mind so that I can hear from you. Please broaden my mind so that I can accept all things according to God’s Will. Let me not whine and whimper Over things I have no control over, for all things are working together for my good and God’s Glory. And when I’m pushed beyond my limits, give me the best response, a response which says Alleluia, and Praise the Lord, and Thanks be unto the Most High God Almighty. I know that when I can’t pray, You listen to the prayer of my heart.
Continue to use me to do your will. Continue to bless me so that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong so that I may help the weak… Keep me uplifted so that I may have Words of encouragement for the discouraged. I pray for those that are lost and can’t find their way, that they come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, even through this prayer I am now praying. I pray for those that are misjudged, misguided, misused, and misunderstood. I pray for those who don’t know you intimately. I pray for those who will delete this prayer without sharing the Love of God with others. I pray for those that don’t believe. But I thank You, that I do believe. That God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every one of the family members In their households. I pray for peace, love, and joy in their homes; I pray that they are out of debt And that all their financial needs are met, and they have more than enough to be a blessing to others.

For God, the Most High God Almighty of all the Universes is truly the Greatest of All.
I pray for all my enemies, and those who have used me and abused me, and have lifted up their hands and their tongue against me. I now forgive them for all they have done. In Jesus Name, all my enemies are now forgiven, and I pray God forgiveness upon all my enemies, for they do know what they are doing, for I am a Child of God. So every battle that I have ever encountered in my life is now in God’s Loving hands, for You, O God fights all my battles for me. I pray that these words be believed, received and accepted into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every tongue that confesses them in name of Jesus Christ, I pray believing, receiving and accepting God’s miracles in my life this day and every day, for God’s Divine favor is now my heritage, in Jesus Name.

Give us and forgive us are two phrases which rely completely upon the grace and mercy of our Father in Heaven. There is nothing we can do to merit a give us request, nor is there anything which we can do to gain forgiveness from God.
It seems Jesus meant more than mere bread when he taught the disciples this phrase. He also seems to list a type of requirement for gaining forgiveness which can really twist our thinking on salvation.
Daily Bread
Prayer for daily bread was not new to the disciples, nor to any other Jewish man in the first century. Proverbs taught the Hebrews to pray for daily sustenance and to only ask God for what one needs that day.
Couched within this prayer in the book of Proverbs is the idea of daily dependence upon God for all of ones needs in life. Receiving only what we need for our day keeps us dependent upon God. It establishes a barrier of sorts against dishonoring God as a result of having too much stuff or not enough supply to live. It is important understand that this daily bread is not merely enough to survive, to keep us from starving, but our daily bread is to give our bodies and souls nourishment to support growth.
Jesus & Daily Bread
Jesus, however, had a unique understanding of daily bread. Before Jesus started His public ministry, He was tempted by the devil. In particular, Jesus was fasting for forty days, and the devil tempted Him to turn stone into bread. Jesus responded by quoting from the book of Deuteronomy saying, man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God (Matt. 4:4 NIV, Deut. 4:3 NIV).
Jesus makes it clear that God gives us life. Bread gives our bodies physical strength, but ultimately, God is the giver of that bread, and therefore, of life. In addition, God gives us the spiritual vitality to live in peace with Him for eternity. Only God can provide this grace, which He does so through forgiving us of our sins.
Our Debts
In the Lords Prayer, the word debt is used to explain and resemble sin. Our transgressions against Gods law put us into a type of creditor / debtor relationship. In first century Israel, there was a practice which was intended to remind the Jews of the ultimate release from sin provided by God. Every seven and fifty years, all debts were forgiven and wiped away.
This practice foreshadowed the idea of God setting us free from sin through Jesus sacrifice on the cross. God put up payment for our sins against His law through the sacrifice of Jesus. The problem with this idea was that the release of debts is bad for business. Thus, some ancient Jews found ways to get around the releasing of debts.
Forgiveness is linked directly with our forgiving others who have become indebted to us. Undoubtedly, this referenced the practices of release every seven and fifty years. Furthermore, it also refers to the condition of our hearts. One cannot have the love of God dwelling inside of them who desires to see their neighbor suffer. God is granting freedom from eternal oppression, therefore we are to grant freedom to our fellow people from temporal oppression here on earth.
Jesus lets us know through this phrase, that our prayer, our faith, involves action. Faith in God mixed with living life results in a change of heart.
This section of our prayer with God that Jesus sets forward deals with our actions and attitudes. We are to remember that God gives all life. We are to keep in mind that a change in heart walks hand in hand with forgiveness.
God – Help us to love. Help us to forgive. Give us what we need and forgive us for our sins. Keep us on the upright path.

What do we learn about birthdays form the bible?
These birthday Bible verses reveal a consistency of celebrating birthdays among differing cultures and peoples from early periods of recorded history. Job, believed by many to be the oldest book of the Bible, tells us that Job’s sons celebrated their birthdays. We also learn from other biblical quotes that the Egyptian Pharaoh and the Palestine tetrarch (or local ruler) Herod both celebrated their birthdays.
The Bible also often references our length of life as years in many of the above passages. Each passing year is a subtle reference to a birthday as the beginning of measuring from one year to the next.
Though we can celebrate our birthdays, we are also supposed to remember that this time here on the earth is temporary. As wonderful as birth into this world is, we are told in one of the verses that the departure from this life to be with God as Christians is by far much better.
There are a lot of Bible verses about sin in the Scriptures that identify certain practices as sin, but only a few that actually define sin in specific terms.
It is by understanding exactly what constitutes sin that we can better determine what is sin for us in those gray areas that are open to dispute and confusion.
By studying these Scriptures about sin, we will become better equipped to live a life for God, walking in holiness by the power of God’s Spirit. With a careful examination of the biblical text, we have pulled out 20 significant Bible quotes about sin that are great for personal study or reflection.
20 Scriptures about Sin

[Romans 3:23]

[Romans 5:8]
15.
“You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.”
[Psalm 90:8]
16.
“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.”
[Isaiah 1:18]
17.
“O God, you know my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.”

[Proverbs 26:11]
19.

[John 3:20]
20.
“Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.”
[Matthew 12:31]
These Bible verses about sin tell us that sin is lawlessness, which is being disobedient to the commands of God.
In addition, if we know in our heart something is wrong or right, and we fail to respond appropriately with that knowledge, that is sin. We are even told that we get led off into sin by our own wicked desires.
The Bible Scriptures on Sin also inform us that everyone has sinned and failed to live up to the perfection of holiness demanded by God.
Yet, the work of Jesus on the cross can cleanse us from all our sins and place us in a right relationship with God. He sees all of our sins and nothing can be hidden from him.
Sinning can cause bad things to happen to us and if we continue in a life of habitual sin we cannot claim that we are in a relationship with God. Sadly, I once left a distinguished college after my third semester of biblical Greek when I found out they believed you could even fall away from God with unbelief and still be saved no matter how much you were sinning.
Lord Christ and Father in Heaven, I come before you thanking you for alll our blessings received and yet to experience. Lord I ask you to use me as your tool in confessing your wish upon this earth. I solemnly confess my sins and repent of any worng doing. It is now that the utmost urgency is requested on your behalf.
You see Lord. our dear friend and neighbor, loving mother of three. wife and life long companion to a wonderful man. devout child of your kingdom, it is now we ask for a miracle in which we all want. I firmly believe it’s Karen’s wish as well as ours to remain on this earth longer than the doctor’s have told her.
To see her children become adults and prosper in her faith as she does each day. Lord I ask healing of her ailments, to rid her of all aspects of this cancer and to enable her to enjoy her life to it’s fullest for many years to come.

Having said this, there are also scriptures for courage that tell us there are times when we will suffer for Christ, but even then we are to be strong.
It seems that this strength and courage that God asks of us comes by faith in him–in believing that he is there with us no matter what we must endure. When we believe, we know that nothing can happen to us except he allows it to because he has overcome the world.
Please pray for protection for myself and my children from our stalker. I had a restraining order against him for many years, which he violated many times. Then he finally stopped bothering us and for several yaers nothing happened so i let the order expire thinking he would finally leave us alone, last week he showed up at my daughter’s school and my mom’s old address. I am gathering evidence to get another restraining order, but. the police still are only really able to do something if he actually harms one of us or happens to still be there when the police arrive, which he never is. This person is very violent, has mental health issues and is using drugs. I am scared for us but also tired of being a victim and always looking over my shoulder. Thank you in advance for your prayers.

I believe in Your power as You are the one who guides me and leads me away from Satan’s temptations. Amen.
Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
Sweet Jesus, teach us to be contented with what we have. Let not material gifts be the cause of our joy. Teach us to be delighted in what God the Father has given us.
Teach us to be like you, to be strong when temptation comes our way. Teach us not to pay attention to these and disregard them right away. Amen.
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.

These Bible verses about teachers enlighten us first on the exceptional responsibility that one has while teaching. Due to the impact a teacher has on a student, one quote warns us that teachers will be judged with a greater strictness than others. Jesus is often called a teacher and he himself confirmed that he was one; the apostles were also teachers.
The teaching passages above also insist that the ability to teach is a gift in which the teacher serves others and leads by example with the objective to make the students as wise as the teacher.
It is the teacher’s task to study, handle the truth correctly, and teach accurate information while treating the pupil with respect. These quotes identify integrity, dignity, faithfulness, and lack of hypocrisy as traits that the teacher should possess. Overall, the teacher is warned about too much study that does not focus on the fear of God and living a godly life.
Please pray that my boyfriend can overcome his depression and deep sadness.
Generally he does ok, but occasionally he sinks into a void again and I can feel the hurt. He distances himself instead of letting me be his rock to lean on.
Please help him understand he can trust me completely and he can tell me anything he needs to without judgement.
Please help him totally believe and accept when I tell him everything will be ok and tell him how wonderful he is. Remind him that his smile lights up my world and his happiness means everything. I am there for him always and will work through all obstacles and hardships in life with him.
I come to you to request strength during my time of sorrow. My husband decided 2 months ago that he no longer wants to be married bc he is no longer in love with me. He has been acting really selfish towards me and he does not realize how hurt and affected I am by this break up.
My heart is hurting and I feel broken. I pray for strength and the ability to deal with this situation graciously and with dignity. Please Lord I need you bc I can’t do this alone. Hear my heart bc its crying out for your healing. In your name I pray. Amen.

Debt is a tricky thing. How should one deal with debt, and is prayer an effective tool for helping with debt?
Some people teach that you should have absolutely zero debt. Owe no man anything, or let no debt remain outstanding will be quoted from Romans 13:8.
Some people teach that debt is a tool, and you can make money from using other people’s money. There are also various teachings in between the two sides of the spectrum of zero debt and using debt.
Regardless of whether or not debt is wrong, what happens when you find yourself in debt? What happens when you wake up one morning, and feel that you’ve been lied to your for your entire life. What happens when you realize that the following verse from the book of proverbs is true?
Once we realize that debt is not a friendly thing, then we begin to search out God to help us. We ask God to help get us out of debt. Again, there are multiple teachings on how this happens. Some people teach you to give, give, give, and then God will give it back to you ten, twenty, or hundredfold.
While that may be a true biblical principal teaching God’s generosity, the idea behind those expressions in Scripture is not to teach a method for you to get out of debt.
Some people teach that you reap what you sow, therefore, go give money to help someone get out of debt, and God will in return bring you out of debt. Again, great biblical principle throughout the Scriptures which teaches that you get what you give. It’s where we get the phrase treat others how you would want to be treated, or as Jesus said it: love your neighbor as yourself.
So therefore, we can continue to ask God for help. You can continue pleading that God will bring you out of debt. You can keep on crying out to God for Him to free you from this bondage. But the ultimate question is this: Can you pray your way out of debt?
No you cannot pray your way out of debt.
As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
Praying, faith, and believing that God can do something is great. It is needed. It is the building block of all Christian life. However, it doesn’t stop there. Mental belief is not the destination God desires for us to rest our trust in Him. We are to trust God with everything we are, and this shows through in all of our actions.
So no, you can’t pray your way out of debt. You can ask God for help, and He will help you, but you cannot pray your way out of debt. And while the teachings mentioned previously sound like they will work, they aren’t a surefire way to get yourself out of debt. I’m not saying that God doesn’t honor those principles and help people through those ideals. However, I am saying it is involving a little guesswork because God gave us the formula for getting out of debt. And the formula doesn’t involve those teachings.
My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,
if you have struck hands in pledge for another,
if you have been trapped by what you said,
ensnared by the words of your mouth,
then do this, my son, to free yourself,
since you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands:
Go and humble yourself;
press your plea with your neighbor!
Allow no sleep to your eyes,
no slumber to your eyelids.
Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
In short, you don’t pray your way out of debt, you work your way out of debt. You ask for forgiveness from your creditors. You ask for your debt to be forgiven and apologize that you cannot repay. You work like crazy to pay off your debts. You run with your head on fire and gather all the cash that you can to dump into repayment of your debts.
Yes God will help you get out of debt, and you should continue asking for His help. God is our provider. He provides for us by providing work opportunities and giving us wisdom. God can miraculously provide you with hundreds of thousands of dollars a moments notice to clear all your debts. However, on the normal, God teaches us to work, and work hard, to get out of debt.

When we seek out the spiritual and deny the sins of the flesh, we enter more into that true godly peace that is so much different than that offered by the world.
I spent much of my life seeking peace through things of the world, only to learn later in life of that pure peace that is found in God.
As Christians, we are also instructed to be at peace with one another and not argue and divide over insignificant issues. We should struggle to make peace wherever possible, knowing that the peacemakers are the true children of God.
