John 5:14(NIV) Dear Lord: You have called us to posture ourselves to pray and seek Your ways. We call upon Your Name with thanksgiving and submission to Your will. Help us to pray according to the scriptures with a thirst to grow closer to You. We know that when we humble ourselves, seek your face, turn from our wicked ways, then You will hear us from Heaven and heal the land. We need Your guidance for our personal lives, families, cities, towns, nations, and principalities thereof. Allow us to seek You first in our decision-making, associations, and projects. Give us the Spirit to discern that which is from You and deny all that is not of You. Help us to stand firm on your Word in the midst of trials, tribulations, short comings, chaos, and distrust. Although the distractions will come, we hold on to the assurance that we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus! With boldness we claim the victory. We put our full armour on daily, deny our flesh, and take up Your cross.
