The Blind Will See!

39  Jesus said, [ a ]   “For judgment  I have come into this world,  so that the blind will see  and those who see will become blind.” John 9:39 Dear Lord Jesus, We praise you for the gift of physical and spiritual sight. You gave your perfect life on the cross so that we could see your glory through faith in you. We can only receive this through your perfect sacrifice and we are forever grateful for the spiritual sight we have through faith. We pray for all of the spiritually blind in our midst. May our words reach those who have not heard your good news and may our actions demonstrate your love to others. Lord, we desire to win people for you! Jesus, you are the great healer of spirit and body. Please heal those who are ill and suffering from disease and poor health. Be with the elderly and keep them in your care. Especially, be with Pastor Bob that his ankle would heal. We pray this and all those other things that are in our hearts! In your precious name, Jesus! Amen!

I am He

25 " The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ)  “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”  26  Then Jesus declared,  “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.” John 4:25-26 Dear Jesus, You are the Messiah, and we praise and thank you for being humble and coming to earth and giving your life as a sacrifice for all. Your act of pure love and selflessness is a lesson for us all. We thank you Lord that you have revealed yourself to us like you revealed yourself to the woman at the well. May we be moved to faith and action as the woman was by your generosity so that we can serve others.  Jesus, you know the desires of our hearts and we ask you to be with us and answer our prayers as we you see fit. May we seek you in our hearts and see your hand in all things. Please be with all those who are sick or battling illnesses. Be with those fighting cancer and other serious diseases. Thank you Savior for your atoning sacrifice on the cross. We eagerly awa

So Loved!

" 16  For God so loved  the world that he gave  his one and only Son,  that whoever believes  in him shall not perish but have eternal life.   17  For God did not send his Son into the world  to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:16-17 Dear Lord Jesus, Your love is awesome and beyond our understanding. Thank you for the perfect love that you demonstrate to us each and everyday. The power and magnificence of our world demonstrates your love for your creation. We are blessed to be your creation and receive your love.

We ask you to continue to be wit

Identity in Christ

"Jesus said to him,  “Away from me, Satan!  For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’ [ e ] ” Matthew 4:10 Dear Jesus, Lord, We come to you knowing that we are tempted daily and fall short of your perfect standard. We are in awe of your power to withstand the temptations of Satan and humbly ask you to give us that same power so we may withstand his temptations as well! Only through your power will be be able to hold back the snares of the devil. Lord we thank you for your goodness and mercy that you pour out on us daily.
