Walking in Repentance

Who Can I Run To?

2 Timothy 2:24-26

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

Righteous and Loving God, 

Thank you for opening my eyes and heart, showing me the error of my ways. For so many years I walked in the thick of sin while serving your saints and ministering to the needy because your Glory shined bright out of me. 

I believed your resurrection powers changed others, but I didn't believe I was worthy of being changed. I didn't want to give you the dark, lustful, perverse, and wicked parts of me through your righteous servants. But today I receive that I am free, I have received my change. 

Lord, as a praying parent and community leader, I shall be patient, approachable, friendly, and easy to talk; Creating a safe and friendly atmosphere for my children (say name of child) and other children to learn from my godly wisdom. Demonstrating forgiveness because God forgave me for my unrighteousness. Practicing understanding because God understood me in the midst of my struggle. 

Father, I pray that you draw my children and the children of this Nation with lovingkindness. I pray they feel comfortable opening up to you. I pray the struggles of life lead them towards godly sorrow which produces repentance and salvation. 

Today, we your people called by your name, humble ourselves and pray, we confess our sins in your presence, Forgiving Father. Today we turn from our wicked ways. Please hear from heaven, forgive our sin, and heal our land. Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

I beseech thee O Lord that my children and the children of this Nation walk in a state of perpetual repentance. For we all fall short of the Glory of God and righteousness is not perfection but a perfect heart towards God. I decree and declare they shall pick up their cross daily and confess their mistakes before you Lord. 

Lord I bless you for my child’s perfect heart towards you. You are the only Righteous Judge of a man’s heart.  Purify them towards perfection. Thank you for freeing them from the unexpected traps and and seductions of sin. Thank you for their demonstration of repentance in the earth. 

In Jesus Name I Pray…

Amen

Avoiding Addiction

Grant Me The Serenity 

Proverbs 23:19-21

Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

Merciful Father, 

When I think about the goodness of Jesus and all that He has done for me… My soul cries out Hallelujah. Thank you for snatching me out of the lifestyle of addiction. Thank you for adding purpose, truth, and self-love into my heart. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

In the midst of my sin, you spoke to me thru your Word and gifted me with love, understanding, acceptance, and wisdom. Favor my child and the children around this nation with the same gifts. Give them a ear to hear so that they will know and follow the voice of their Great Shepherd. 

Strengthen my child’s (say name of child) metaphysical state and correct any dysfunctional behaviors and perspectives that may lead him/her to the path of escape. Stabilize their emotions, help them when they’re angry and teach them not to sin. Lord, open their eyes to better options and solutions for piecing together their broken heart.   

I pray that you give my child and children around this nation a full understanding of addiction and its path of destruction and death. I pray the desire to have uncommitted unsafe sex with multiple partners, withhold from eating and/or overeating, shop excessively, watch porn, pop pills, gambling, shoot up, snort, vape, tranq, shroom, trip, candy flip, fight the beast, turn up, chase the dragon, ride the white horse, speedball, tweak, blaze, get faded or burn are turned off and unresponsive. I pray these desires lay dormant forever. 

I pray earnestly for the addicted children of this world. Please enlighten their eyes of understanding, open their heart to receive your love, and teach their praying parents and community leaders how to effectively help. Today I pray that the seed of sobriety is planted and watered in their mind. I ask you Father to increase the seed exponentially. Grant them the serenity to accept the things that cannot be changed, the courage to change the things they can, and the wisdom to know the difference. 

I pray the desire to learn, grow, study, educate, style, play musical instruments, dance, travel, photograph, video capture, cook, read, minister, artistically express emotion, act, draw, sing, paint, play sports, learn God’s word, all other positive purposes are enhanced and supported by praying parents and community leaders.

No weapon formed against my child or other children shall be able to prosper. I plead the Blood of Jesus against the metaphysical disease of addiction. Our children will not be an addicts, our children will not maintain a false balance. The works of their hands shall be blessed. They are the head and not the tale, the lender and not the borrower. Though they may be tempted by the enemy, they shall not submit.

In Jesus Name I pray…

Amen                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Rejecting Sexual Immorality

Loving me Some me, I can say No!

1 Thessalonians 4:3

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

1 Corinthians 6:18

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 

Faithful Father, 

Thank you that your Word keeps me and my family safe, free from harm, and protects us sexually, mentally, spiritually, physically, and economically. I thank you for your will because it contains great pleasure for you and a blessed reward for me. Thank you for teaching me to abstain from fornication.

As a praying parent and community leader, I have made many mistakes in regards to my sexual health and Lord you have made me whole. Holy Spirit please continue to guide and direct me on how to demonstrate and teach my children about healthy sexual behavior. 

Great God I am praying that you break every generational curse that produces sex outside of marriage, break every generational curse of pregnancy outside of marriage, break every chain of unholy matrimony, break every chain of unsafe sex, break every chain of perverted sex, break every chain of promiscuity, break every chain of prostitution at all levels, break every chain of homosexuality, metamorphose the sexual attitudes and tolerance levels of our children, remove fantasy ideas of sexual immorality from the crevices of my child’s mind, in the name of Jesus. 

I stand on the powerful name of Jesus. My child and the children of this Nation will overcome the demonic sexual demon by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. Hallelujah!

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. No weapon that is formed against them shall prosper; The weapon of sexual immorality has no power over my children (say the name of child) nor the children of this Nation. 

I am committed to praying against the demonic distraction of sexual immorality. I give myself away to restoring a godly perspective on sexual health through persistent prayer and consistent education. I leave this inheritance to my children and my children’s children. My children shall be virgins until after marriage, my children may be tempted but will not submit to sexual immorality, my children will abstain from fornication, my children will be bold and confident about being sexually healthy, my children will demonstrate a righteous way of living.

In Jesus name I pray…

Amen

Godly Wisdom and Discernment

Who Can I Run To?

1 Kings 3:11-12

And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;

Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

Heavenly Father, 

Lord I thank you for giving me the precious essential called wisdom. It has carried me and supported me by releasing understanding into my heart. Your wisdom has endorsed and validated me by allowing me to feed and nurture my children (say name of child) and other children around this Nation. As a praying parent I commit to seeking You, Lord, for the answers to my unresolved issues and concerns to come.

Great God, I pray that every praying parent and community leader set a clear and positive example of how seek and be awarded wisdom, understanding and discernment. I pray that we teach by example how to listen to your voice with the intent to obey and follow thru with the spirit of excellence. Let our children imitate us as we mimic you. 

I share my portion of wisdom, understanding, and discernment with my children and any other child that needs it, young or old. Any child left to himself brings his mother to shame; The rod and reproof give the child wisdom. For he that gets wisdom loves his own soul: he that keeps understanding shall find good.

In the name of Jesus, I tear down counterfeit walls of wisdom and understanding like personal egos, palm readers, pop culture magazines, fortune tellers, false prophets, reality tv, horoscopes, and psychics. I remove the debris of the demolition and replace it pillars of prayer, faith, love, wisdom, understanding, discernment, and joy. Allow these pillars to be the beginning foundation that our children can use to grow, understand, and learn.

In Jesus Name I pray…

Amen

Strength on Difficult Days

We’ve All Been There

Psalm 29:11

The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.

Psalm 119:28

My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.

Lord, 

Your faithfulness and compassion towards your children far exceeds my expectations and is greater than I can imagine. I am glad that you exist on a substantially more significant level than me. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, Lord your ways are higher than my ways, and your thoughts more matured than my thoughts.

Your mercy has covered my life and saved me from the destruction that I hand-crafted. Your strength has sustained me in my most difficult heart breaking situations. Your fortitude and resilience concealed my vulnerability during my heart melting moments. Your power and soundness protected me in weakness. Your grace Lord, is sufficient for me and the children of the Nation: and your strength is made perfect in our weakness.

As a praying parent and community leader I pray for the souls of the children around this Nation. Girls are being raped, boys are being molested, fathers are leaving families, mothers are addicted, relationships are abruptly ending, sisters are rejected, neighbors are being murdered, brothers are trapped, family members are dying of preventable diseases, teen pregnancy is epidemic, and STDs are pandemic — all causing the souls of our children to melt, to cry out uncontrollably, to weep with sorrow, and to become emotional unstable. 

Father shield and protect my child (say child’s name) soul and the souls of children around this Nation. Provide then with strength and give them peace. Let the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep their hearts and minds stable through focusing on Christ Jesus. All children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of your children.

In Jesus' Name I pray...

Amen

Living Free of Unforgiveness

Did I Do That?

Matthew 6:14 

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 

Loving & Merciful Lord, 

Thank you for continuously forgiving my sins and saving my soul from eternal hell. I am walking in the spirit of forgiveness, sharing your love and hope with the condemned, brokenhearted & guilty with the concerted effort  to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Father, today I stand in the gap for all children suffering and mentally tormented by unforgiveness. Forgive their sins as they have lashed out verbally, blacked out mentally, destroyed hearts and family units, and murdered opportunities due to the unresolved emotional anguish. 

I pray that each child receives a new heart from you, and a new spirit within them: taking away the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh. Remove the stones, the hardness of heart, the coldness, bitterness, rage, pride, unforgiveness, jealousy, and hatred. Add to them sensitivity, flexibility, forgiveness, love, acceptance, and long-suffering. Give each child a righteous representation they can follow. A great leader is a great follower. Lord bring out the greatness in each child around the Nation. 

As a praying parent, teach me how to demonstrate forgiveness in the midst agony, anger, and foolishness. Holy Spirit I forgive those that have wronged me. I forgive those that selfishly manipulated me. I forgive those who have spoken ill against me. I forgive those that cursed me. I forgive those that have hurt my feelings, ruined a special moment, stole my shine, and worked all manner of evil behind my back. Forgive me Father and save me from myself. I bow in humble submission to you and cry out,  I forgive myself. I forgive (say your name) for the wrong choices I made. 

Thank you Lord that all things work together for the good of those that love him and are called according to his purposes. Thank you for allowing me to model true forgiveness in my home and community. Thank you that my children (say your child’s name) and other children around this Nation will learn by my example. I shall be accountable to my actions: I shall be accountable to forgiving. My children will be accountable to their actions: they shall be accountable to forgiving. 

In Jesus' Name I pray..

Amen

Lost and Missing Children

Have you seen her?

Matthew 18:11

For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 

Savior King,

Thank you for saving me with your enduring love. Thank you for the people who continuously shared the Good News of Jesus Christ with me and added a beacon of His Glorious light to my life. I was blinded but now I can see. The Son of Man has saved me from a life of eternal hell. 

I pray that your Good News and Light is added to the lives of my children and the children around this Nation.  I pray that their minds are impacted by the Truth, their hearts are pierced with true Hope, and their soul yearns for Salvation to come. Bless the brave praying parents and community leaders who have planted and watered the incorruptible seed of Jesus Christ into the lifestyle’s of our children. God we ask for your increase.

Lord, my heart, mind, and soul cries out for each lost and missing child in this world, whether spiritually lost, physically lost, psychologically or emotionally missing. I pray for God to give increase to their lives. I pray that their eyes of understanding are enlightened. I pray that they walk out of darkness into God’s marvelous light. 

The angels and the host of heaven are preparing to celebrate the return of just one lost soul. The praying people of this Nation, shall unite and search out the lost and missing children of this Nation. We step up to our responsibility of praying, imitating, and teaching the love, peace, joy, temperance, meekness, long-suffering, goodness, faith, and gentleness of Christ. 

In the name of Jesus I release hope, assurance, and confidence to all the lost and missing children of this world giving them the self-love to call on the name of Jesus. I call out to Him today… Jesus save my child, Jesus save the children of this Nation, Jesus bestow upon these children your precious gift. I beseech thee O Lord to save our children. I stand on your Word that declares it is not your will that one child should perish.

Lord, I am looking for one child (young or old) who is ready to call on your name. Lord, I am looking for one child who hungers for the Truth and Hope in your Word. Lord, I am looking for one child who hasn’t been introduced to you. Lord I commit to look for one child today that I can show the Way with Truth and add Life unto their soul.

In Jesus’s Holy and Mighty Name I pray…

Amen
