Take Every Passage to Prayer - Volume 2, The Gospels
Sunday June 02, 2024
Father, please help me to not be afraid to share my faith publicly. Please give me opportunities to do so and to faithfully share how Jesus has saved a wretched man like me from my sin and rebellion. Father, if Jesus needed to pray to do the work You sent Him to do, how much more do I need to pray for the work You have asked me to do? Please transform me so that I become a man of prayer, asking You for provision, protection, and direction in all that I do to advance the gospel. Father, I ask that the Holy Spirit make me a new creation. Give me a new heart that loves You and desires to please You in all that I do and say. Father, I ask that, with each passing day, my life will increasingly bear witness to the fact that I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Father, please forgive me for my unbel......READ MORE.

Father, it is said we cannot take anything with us into the afterlife. I disagree. We can enjoy with us in heaven the people who came to faith in Jesus Christ because we were obedient on earth to share the gospel. Father, use me to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others. Help me not to be shy about sharing the reality of hell. I am not showing love to someone to hide from them their eternal destiny. I am showing love to them to awaken them to the reality that they deserve Your eternal wrath, but in Your great love You provided them a Savior who offers them total forgiveness for all of their sin. Amen.
Father, it is my belief that the core of the human condition is that we want to be our own god. We want to be in charge of our lives. We want to set our own goals and make ou......READ MORE.

Father, thank You for the salvation I have received through faith in Jesus Christ alone. I ask that You now produce fruit in me that proves my salvation is real. Help me to love others and to be generous. Help me to be a man of integrity. Help me to be content with what I have in life. Amen.
Father, I can imagine a rumor was circulating around the religious elite, the Pharisees and Sadducees of Jerusalem :
“There’s some guy out in the wilderness named John who everyone is going to see. He’s calling people to confess their sins and repent. Many say he is the Elijah of Malachi 4. He is claiming the Messiah, the Son of God, is about to be revealed and that Jesus, that troublemaker we worry about, is that Messiah.”READ MORE.

Father, may it be said of me that I, through the power of the Holy Spirit, raise up the humble and humble the proud. May it be said that I bring healing to people as the Holy Spirit works through me. May it be said that I glorify You and Your Word. May it be said of me that Christ has used me to tend to His sheep. May it be said of me that You give strength to others through the ministry You call me to do. Father, please bring the poor in spirit to me to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. May they then find salvation of their souls because You used even a fool like me to share the gospel with those whom You have prepared to hear it. Amen.
Father, Jesus was approximately 16 years old when Tiberius became co-emperor and He most certainly t......READ MORE.

Father, it would be wonderful if people, asking what I am doing or where I am, would first think I am doing something to serve You, worship You, or learn about You. Father, transform my heart so that becomes my reputation. Father, many in the world hate believers who tell them they are destined to hell if they do not place their faith in Jesus Christ for their salvation. However, even the world respects people who are honest, trustworthy, kind, loving, caring, compassionate, gentle, self-controlled, peaceful, and patient. Father, may these things be said of me so that I can credit You for transforming my heart through my salvation through Jesus Christ. Amen.
Father, we learn from this passage of the only recorded event from Jesus’ childhood. His family regularly traveled to Jerusalem for the Festiv......READ MORE.
