"The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)
'Jesus said to the Father, "Sanctify them, by your truth. Your word is truth.' (John 17:17)
Pray and ask: "Lord, as I go through this chapter of your Word, thank you for opening my eyes to see the TRUTH that sets me FREE and guides my prayers."
Read or listen to today's 345 Chapter.
' I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. ' (Romans 12:1-2)
"Holy Spirit, I yielded myself to you in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord. Reveal in me anything that needs to be adjusted in my behavior, in my thoughts, and all sins that need to be confessed and repented of. Give me your Grace to do it Lord!"
'My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. ' (John 10:27-28)
Assignments from the Lord usually have names. There are people that we know, and others that we simply encounter throughout the day that need to see the love of Christ though you. Ask the Lord Jesus to reveal any assignments that He has for you or to make you aware of that assignment when it is happening.
Pray: "Lord Jesus, open my eyes to the assignments that you have for me. Show me people that you would have me demonstrate your love to. Give me wisdom to make you known to them!" Amen
'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. ' (Colossians 3:16)
When we quiet our hearts before God in worship, the Holy Spirit does His work in us and God "inhabits our praises" (Psalm 22:3)
"Lord, as I focus on you through this song of worship, fill my heart with praise and gratitude for who you are to us, and what you do for us."

'Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. ' (Hebrews 13:7)
'Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you. ' (Hebrews 13:17)

'For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. ' (Ephesians 6:12)
'Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. ' (Luke 10:19)
Spiritual warfare is important in our prayer life, and it's important for us to understand there are spiritual forces at work around us. The incredible promise from Jesus to us is this: Je has deputized us with His authority over every spiritual being with evil or harmful intentions. Below is an example of praying in that authority against Spiritual evil in the world:
I pray now, in the name and authority of Jesus Christ alone, against any foul or unclean spirit that attempts to come against us. I pray against any work of the enemy or ungodly schemes of people, that they would be repelled by the power of Jesus Christ, and bound away from us in His good name. In Jesus' name, I summon Holy Warrior Angels to camp around us, defend us from every Spiritual attack, and completely destroy the works of the enemy toward us. I pray for the angelic protection over our families, our households, participants, and partners of FFMC.
Think of people in your life that don't have a relationship with Christ and don't know how to follow Him. Sometimes it's helpful to use the acronym FRAN - that stands for Friends, Relatives, Associates, and Neighbors. Develop your own list, ranking them 1 of they are a seek, 2 of they are neutral to God/Christ, and 3 if they seem to be against God or a life of Faith. Pray for them daily!
A Biblical Prayer for the Lost:
'to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’ (Acts 26:18)
Father God, I ask that you work in __________ life. I pray for his/her eyes to be open to Christ Jesus and all he has done for him/her. Holy Spirit, do your work to turn ________ from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that he/she will receive the forgiveness of sin and a place in God's forever family. In the name of Jesus Christ my Lord, AMEN!!
Lift up specific people and situation the Lord brings to mind. Pray for God's provision, blessing, healing, or direction for these things.
