Based on 2 Timothy 3:2-5
Gracious Father, I know these are the last days. Help us not be
concerned and lovers of only ourselves, but lovers of others. Put it in our heart to love one
another, help one another, be there, be kind, gentle and caring for others. Let
us show Your love to the unlovable, lonely, hurting and needy, especially to
our enemy. Help us do good to them and
expect nothing in return. It is commanded that just as You have loved us, we
are to love one another. You can put this love within us. Let us follow Your
example Lord.
Father, help us not to be lovers of money for the love of
money is the root of all evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the
faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. I pray we are givers and
not takers. I pray we put You first always, not financial gain or material
things. You are our supplier.
Lord, I pray we are not boastful or proud, for the wicked
boast their evil desires and despise You. We will not rejoice in boasting, for
this is evil. Let us be boastful of You. Help us not to be proud also, for You
oppose the proud. I ask for humble spirits, receiving Your grace. We know a
man’s pride will bring him down, but You will honor the humble.
Oh God, let us stay near Your side, never speaking against
You or others. Set a guard over our
mouths, Lord; keep watch over the door of our lips. Take the coal, touch our
lips, use us Father. I ask that You put Your Words in our mouth. We exalt and
forever praise You. Help us be encouraging to others, lifting and building them
up, bringing grace to those who will hear.
Lord I pray also that we are always obedient to our parents, the ones You have given charge over us. Let us honor them as You have commanded, that we
may have a long life. Help us be obedient, just as we are obedient to You
Father.
Heavenly Father, I am so grateful and thankful for all You
have done for us, and for all You are doing.
There is no limit to the goodness You have shown us, we can never repay
the gift of salvation, we cannot fathom the gift of love, mercy, tenderness, forgiveness.
The gift of pardon itself is immeasurable. May we always and forever praise
Your name. Please forgive us when we are unthankful, ungrateful, or unholy. I
pray we are holy and pleasing in Your eyes Father. Let us ever be reminded of Your graciousness
toward us.
Lord Almighty, many are unloving and unforgiving. This is
not what we want to be. We want Your image
Father, the image of Jesus Christ. Guide us Holy Spirit the way You want
us to grow. Remind us not to gossip or be slanderous, help us speak lovingly to
those around us, never putting anyone down. Help us not to become wicked,
faithless, heartless, or merciless Lord. We know You have given us a spirit of
power, love, and a sound mind God, therefore we know we have self-control over
these things.
We love all that is good, all that is from You, our Father
Above. We love Your law, Your way, all of Your blessings, all Your abundant
fruits.
In these last days Father, help us not betray our friends,
walking after the flesh in uncleanliness instead of Your Spirit Lord. Let us
not be reckless, conceited, or impulsive forgetting to put You first. Father,
we will serve You and not our own self. For they that live in pleasure and
self-indulgence are dead even while they live.
God, many claim to have a form of godliness, but reject the
power that can make them godly. Help us turn away from these people, most of
all help us not to be one of them Father. We pray against false prophets,
myths, and wolves in sheep’s clothing. Help us not follow any teachings that are
not from You, or any brother that lives an undisciplined life Lord. Let us always accept the love and power that You
have so freely given for we know godliness is valuable in every way.
I ask these things in Jesus name, for I know You can
complete the work You have started in us until the day of our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ.
