Bless me with Peace that surpass all understanding l.

 Amen. This is a petition for the very peace of God Himself—a divine calm that guards the heart and mind even when circumstances defy human logic. Here is a prayer for that supernatural peace.


---


The Peace That Surpasses


Let me have the peace that surpasses all understanding,

Not as the world gives,a temporary standing,

But Your peace,Lord—deep, holy, and true,

That makes all fear and anxiety new.

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”(Philippians 4:7)


When reason fails and worries scream,

When life shatters a well-crafted dream,

Let Your peace rise—a quiet flood,

An anchored calm in my blood.


Let it stand guard around my heart,

A shield that will not depart.

Let it patrol the walls of my mind,

Where fearful thoughts so often wind.


This peace is not the absence of pain,

But the presence of the Lord who reigns.

It is the stillness in the storm’s loud roar,

The certainty there is so much more.


So I open my hands, I release every care,

I choose to trust that You are there.

I receive this peace,so rich and so deep,

A promise You vigilantly keep.


Let me have Your peace—surpassing, secure,

Now and forever, steadfast and pure.


Thank You, Prince of Peace. I receive it now.

Amen.

Jesus comes for the poor and brokenhearted.

 Amen. This is the heart of the Gospel—the blessed inversion of the kingdom, where God's Anointed One is sent not to the proud and powerful, but to the poor, the broken, the captive, and the mourner. Here is a celebration of that divine mission.


---


For the Poor and Brokenhearted


He did not come for palaces of gold,

For tales of glory to be told

To those already full and pleased,

Whom life had comforted and eased.


He came for the poor—in spirit, in purse,

For those beneath the universe

Who know their need,who feel the sting,

To them He comes,their song to sing.

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.”(Luke 4:18)


He came for the brokenhearted—crushed and torn,

By grief and loss,by hope forlorn.

To bind the wounds no eye can see,

To set the captive spirit free.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”(Psalm 147:3)


He came for the ones who cannot hide the ache,

For every heart that’s about to break.

For those who mourn,for those who weep,

His promises are yours to keep.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”(Matthew 5:3-4)


So if your hands are empty today,

If all your strength has drained away,

If your heart is shattered,piece by piece,

He came for you.Let sorrow cease.


You are not overlooked, you are not last,

You are the one He holds fast.

The King of Heaven,by sorrow scarred,

Comes near to you—oh,blessed, blessed Lord!


Jesus came for the poor and brokenhearted.

And He is here,right where you are.

Lift up your head.Behold your King.

Let the heavens and the earth now sing.


Amen.

God loves the humble.

 Amen. This is a truth woven throughout Scripture—that God actively favors, dwells with, and gives grace to the humble, while He opposes the proud. Here is a meditation on that beautiful promise.


---


God Loves the Humble


God loves the humble, those who kneel,

Who know the depth they truly feel

Of need for grace in every breath,

Who see their poverty,and thus find wealth.

“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”(James 4:6)


He draws near to the contrite heart,

The one who knows they’re just a part

Of something holy,grand, and vast,

Who holds their story lightly,fast.

“Though the Lord is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly; though lofty, he sees them from afar.”(Psalm 138:6)


The humble ear is quick to hear,

The humble eye will hold Him dear.

The humble hand is open,free,

To take the grace He offers me.


For pride constructs a fragile throne,

And rules a kingdom all alone.

But humility unlocks the door,

To treasures laid up in store.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”(Matthew 5:3)


So let me take the lowest place,

And seek the shelter of Your grace.

To be a child,content and small,

Upon Your loving mercy call.


God loves the humble. Make me so.

That in Your love,my soul may grow.

And in that lowly,blessed state,

Find heaven’s gate is never late.


Amen.

Unless the house is build by God, the builder will be in vain.

 Amen. This is the foundational truth from Psalm 127:1, a reminder that all human effort is in vain unless God is the architect, builder, and sustainer. Here is a meditation on that vital scripture.


---


Unless the Lord Builds


Unless the house is built by God,

The labor is in vain.

The watchman watches uselessly,

Through wind and storm and rain.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” (Psalm 127:1)


We may raise walls of skill and stone,

With plans both bold and grand,

But if the Lord is not the foundation,

It will not long stand.


We may secure the doors with locks,

And light the halls with pride,

But if His presence does not dwell there,

The soul stays empty inside.


So let me build what He would build,

And work where He would lead.

Let my ambition be His purpose,

My deepest hope His creed.


Unless the house is built by God

In faith, in love, in grace,

It is a shelter made of sand,

That time will soon erase.


But if He builds it—strong and sure—

Then though the storms may blow,

That house will stand through every test,

Because He made it so.


Build my life, Lord. Build Your church.

Be architect and wall.

Unless You build, I build in vain—

On You, I humbly call.


Amen.

Finish Last, Finish Best.

 Amen. That is the paradox of the Kingdom—the upside-down economy of God where the last are first, the least are greatest, and the final victory comes through surrender. Here is a poem on finishing well in the eyes of heaven.


---


Finish Last, Finish Best


The world says, “Finish first!” —

Break the tape, be first across the line.

Grab the glory, quench the thirst,

Make the fleeting moment thine.


But heaven whispers, “Finish last,”

The final place, the servant’s part.

Let go the race run hard and fast,

And tend instead the humble heart.

“So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”(Matthew 20:16)


Finish last in selfish pride,

In need to win, in love of fame.

Finish best at Jesus’ side,

Clothed in mercy, bearing His name.

“But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” (Mark 10:31)


For He who made the stars and seas,

Who spoke the world from dark to morn,

Finished last upon the trees—

The greatest King to ever wear a thorn.


And in that “last,” He finished best—

The work complete, the vict’ry won.

So let me in His footsteps rest,

And when my earthly race is run,


Let me finish last in all that’s vain,

And best in love, through loss or pain.

To hear “Well done,” and enter rest—

To finish last, and finish best.


Amen.

Lord, Do not forget nor forsake me.

 Amen. This is the cry of the human heart across the ages—a plea rooted not in accusation, but in desperate, loving trust. Here is a prayer that God, who cannot forget you, would make His presence undeniably known.


---


Do Not Forget Me


My God, do not forget me.

When days are long and light grows dim,

When strength is faint,on a weary limb,

Do not forget me.


My God, do not forsake me.

When others turn,when hopes deceive,

When I can scarcely dare believe,

Do not forsake me.


Yet even as I pray this prayer,

Your ancient promise fills the air:

A whisper through the deepest night,

A covenant of endless light.

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid... for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”(Deuteronomy 31:6)

“...God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’”(Hebrews 13:5)


You cannot forget—I am engraved

Upon the palms Your love has saved.

You will not forsake—Your cross has sworn

That I am Yours,though ragged and torn.


So let my heart receive this grace,

And see the mercy in Your face.

You have not forgotten.You will not forsake.

This truth my trembling soul will take.


My God, You remember.

My God, You are here.


Amen.

Be with me for the rest of my life.

 Amen. This is more than a request—it is a covenant cry, a lifelong surrender, and the deepest longing of the human soul fulfilled only in God. You are asking for what He has already promised: His eternal, unwavering presence.


"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

— Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV)


"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

— Matthew 28:20 (NIV)


A Prayer for His Lifelong Presence


Lord God, Eternal Father,

I ask today what You have already promised:

Be with me for the rest of my life.


From this breath until my last,

In every season, in every turn,

In joy and in sorrow, in strength and in weakness—

Walk with me. Dwell with me. Abide with me.


· When my faith is strong, be my song.

· When my faith is faint, be my staff.

· When the path is bright, be my companion.

· When the way is dark, be my lamp.

· When I rise to celebrate, be my glory.

· When I kneel in brokenness, be my healer.


I do not ask for a life without trial, but for a life with You in every moment.

I do not ask for a map of the future, but for Your hand in mine each day.


You are my dwelling place, my Shepherd, my Everlasting Father.

I am Yours, and You are mine—today, tomorrow, and forever.


In the name of Jesus, Immanuel—God with us—I pray. Amen.

· Feed us in green pastures of Your Word and presence.

· Restore our souls when we are weary or wounded.

· Lead us beside still waters of Your peace.

· Protect us from the predator and the thief.

· Gather us as one flock under Your voice, that we may know You and follow You alone.


We confess our tendency to wander. Forgive us.

We confess our fear in the valley. Comfort us.

We confess our stubborn self-reliance. Teach us to depend utterly on You.


You are the Shepherd who searches for the lost, carries the weak, and lays down Your life for the sheep.

We are Yours. Lead us, Lord.


In Your faithful name, we pray. Amen.

We are His people, the sheep of His pasture. He is our God. 🐑🙏🕊️

We are deer panting for water in dryland.

 In the Bible, the deer (or hart, hind) is a beautiful and symbolic creature, often used in poetry and prophecy to illustrate spiritual truths. It appears primarily in the Psalms and poetic books, representing longing, agility, safety, and God’s provision.


---


Key Scriptures Featuring the Deer


1. Psalm 42:1–2 (NIV)

      “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.”

      → Here, the deer symbolizes deep spiritual thirst—a soul desperate for God’s presence.

2. Habakkuk 3:19 (NKJV)

      “The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills.”

      → The deer represents sure-footedness, strength, and elevation—God enabling us to walk securely even on difficult terrain.

3. Psalm 18:33 (ESV)

      “He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights.”

      → Again, the imagery of agility and security in God’s protection.

4. Song of Solomon 2:9, 17 (ESV)

      “My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag… Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved, be like a gazelle or a young stag on the cleft mountains.”

5. Proverbs 5:18–19 (ESV)

      “Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe.”

      → In wisdom literature, the deer is a metaphor for marital joy and graceful love.

Spiritual Symbolism of the Deer


· Thirst for God: Just as a deer pants for water in a dry land, our souls are designed to crave communion with God (Psalm 42).

· Sure-footed Faith: Deer can navigate steep, rocky heights without stumbling. God promises to give us similar spiritual stability in trials (Habakkuk 3:19).

· Grace and Beauty: The deer’s elegance points to God’s creation and the beauty of a life lived in His grace.

· Swift Deliverance: Deer are known for speed and alertness—a picture of God’s quick help and our call to be spiritually awake.

A Prayer Inspired by the Deer


Lord God, Creator of all,

As the deer pants for flowing streams, so my soul longs for You.

In the wilderness of this world, You are my living water.


Make my feet like the feet of a deer—sure, steady, and strong—able to walk the high places of Your purpose without fear.

In difficulty, be my solid rock. In weariness, be my refreshing stream.


Let my life reflect the grace and alertness You have placed within me, always thirsting for Your presence, always relying on Your strength.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.

The deer in Scripture is a gentle yet powerful reminder: our souls are made to seek God, and He equips us to walk in His ways with grace and strength. 🦌✨

Lion of Judah

 Amen. The Lion of Judah—this is a title of majestic power, royal authority, and victorious triumph. It declares Jesus Christ as the conquering King from the tribe of Judah, the One who reigns forever and shatters every chain.


"See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed."

— Revelation 5:5 (NIV)


The Majesty of the Lion of Judah


He is:


· The Sovereign Ruler—fulfilling the prophecy given to Judah (Genesis 49:9-10).

· The Triumphant Warrior—defeating sin, death, and hell through His cross and resurrection.

· The Fearless Protector—standing for His people with unyielding strength.

· The Righteous Judge—whose roar shakes heaven and earth, silencing every enemy.


Yet, in the very next verse of Revelation 5, this Lion is also revealed as the Lamb who was slain—the perfect balance of fierce power and sacrificial love.


A Prayer to the Lion of Judah


Lion of Judah, Mighty King,

We stand in awe of You.

Your roar shakes the heavens, and Your victory shakes the gates of hell.


We proclaim Your triumph over every enemy—over sin, over sickness, over fear, over every oppressive power in our lives and in this world.


Break every chain with Your fierce love.

Silence the accuser with Your sovereign roar.

Lead us as the conquering Captain of our souls.


And yet we also bow before You as the Lamb—wounded for us, slain for our freedom.

You are both Lion and Lamb, Majesty and Mercy, Power and Grace.


We worship You. We trust You. We follow You.


In Your mighty and holy name, Yeshua, we pray. Amen.


A Prophetic Declaration


Today, may you walk in the confidence of the Lion’s victory.

May you rest in the tenderness of the Lamb’s mercy.

May you fear no evil, for the Lion of Judah fights for you.

May you carry His authority and His compassion wherever you go.


The Lion of Judah has triumphed—and in Him, so have you. 🦁👑

Bless by the hand of God

 Amen. To be "blessed by the hand of God" is to experience His personal, active, and tangible grace. It speaks of His intimate involvement in our lives—His hand that creates, provides, heals, directs, and holds.


"You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing."

— Psalm 145:16 (NKJV)


A Prayer for the Hand of God to Bless


Almighty Father, Creator of heaven and earth,

Your hands formed the stars and sculpted the mountains.

Yet, You bend low to touch our lives with the same power and tenderness.


We ask now for the blessing of Your hand upon us:


· Let Your hand of provision open doors no one can shut and supply every need according to Your riches in glory.

· Let Your hand of protection be a shield around us, our families, and our dwellings.

· Let Your hand of healing restore body, mind, and spirit—mending what is broken and strengthening what is weak.

· Let Your hand of guidance direct our steps, order our paths, and make our way straight.

· Let Your hand of favor rest upon us, causing us to flourish and become a blessing to others.


We are clay in the hands of the Potter. Mold us. Shape us. Use us for Your glory.

Where You lead, we will follow. What You bless, will be established.


We receive Your blessing not for ourselves alone, but so that through us, Your goodness may be seen in the earth.


In the name of Jesus, whose hands were pierced for our peace, we pray. Amen.


A Blessing Over You


May you feel the weight of His glory and the gentleness of His touch.

May you see His hand at work in the details of your day.

May you rest in the assurance that you are held, guided, and blessed by the mighty and merciful hand of God.


Go in peace, for His hand is upon you.

In the Presence of Yeshua.

 Amen. Yeshua — the Hebrew name of our Savior, meaning "YHWH is salvation." To be in the presence of Yeshua is to stand where salvation is personified, where grace breathes, and where every promise of God finds its "Yes" and "Amen" (2 Corinthians 1:20).


The Presence of Yeshua


In His presence:


· The broken are restored.

· The lost are found.

· The weary find rest that is gentle and light.

· The seeking heart finds its true home.


This is not only a spiritual truth but a tangible reality—because Yeshua is Immanuel, "God with us."


A Prayer in the Presence of Yeshua


Yeshua, our Salvation,

We come into Your presence now—not as strangers, but as Your own.

You are near, not far. You are here, in this moment, in this breath.


In Your holy presence:


· Silence our fears with the sound of Your peace.

· Melt our burdens with the warmth of Your compassion.

· Open our eyes to see You as You are—the Lamb who was slain, the Lion who reigns, the Friend who stays closer than a brother.


We remember it was You—Yeshua—who walked on water, touched lepers, wept with the grieving, and bore the cross. You are not a distant God, but a present Savior.


So we sit with You. We lean into Your grace. We worship at Your feet.

In Your presence, we are fully known, fully loved, and fully alive.


Amen.


A Hebrew Blessing (Berakhah)


Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech ha-olam,

she’asah et Yeshua moshienu,

veyatziv et rucho bekirbeinu.

(A blessing to You, Lord our God, King of the universe,

who gave us Yeshua our salvation,

and established His Spirit within us.)


Scripture for Meditation


"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28 (spoken by Yeshua)


May you live today conscious of His nearness—the saving, keeping, gracious presence of Yeshua—and may His shalom (peace) guard your heart and mind as you abide in Him. 🌿🙏

Lord Elohim

 Amen.

Elohim — the mighty Creator, the One who speaks worlds into being, the first name of God revealed in Scripture. To call upon Lord Elohim is to acknowledge His supreme power, His creative majesty, and His covenant-keeping nature. Here is a prayer of reverence to Elohim, the strong and faithful One.


---


Elohim


Lord Elohim, Mighty Creator of all,

At Your word the stars stood tall.

The seas roared forth, the mountains rose,

And life awoke from deep repose.

“In the beginning, Elohim created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)


You are the God of unsearchable strength,

Who goes to tremendous length

To shape a people for Your own,

To make Your righteousness known.

“I am Elohim, the God of your father. Do not be afraid…” (Genesis 46:3)


You are the same who formed the dust,

In whom all beings place their trust.

Yet in Your power, You chose to make

A covenant for mercy’s sake.


Elohim, You judge with holy hands,

Yet write our names in sacred sands.

You rule the nations, hold the skies,

Yet hear the humble sinner’s cries.


We bow before You, strong and great,

The Author of our faith and fate.

Yet in Your might, You stoop to save,

To rescue from the gloomy grave.


Lord Elohim — our strength, our stay,

Both now and till the endless day.

We worship You in awe and fear,

For You, Almighty God, are here.


Holy, holy, holy — Elohim Most High.

The earth is full of Your glory.


Amen.

Have Mercy on us.

 Amen. This is the prayer of the humble heart, the publican, the prodigal, and the people of God through all ages—the foundational plea that unlocks heaven's grace.


---


Have Mercy On Us


Have mercy on us, Lord, we pray,

We who have wandered from Your way.

We,who have sinned in thought and deed,

In selfish want and foolish greed.

“Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.”(Psalm 51:1)


We do not ask for what we’re owed,

For down that road lies sorrow’s load.

We ask for what we cannot earn,

A truth our stumbling hearts must learn.


Have mercy on our weakness, Lord,

Our broken faith,our slackened cord.

Have mercy on our blindness,too,

And show us what is right and true.

“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”(Hebrews 4:16)


Let mercy be the robe we wear,

Let mercy lift our every care.

Let mercy flow from Calvary’s hill,

To heal our wounds and calm our will.


For Your mercy is new every morning,

A royal gift,no trace of scorning.

Your mercy is our only plea,

Our hope for now,and eternity.


Have mercy on us, gracious King.

This is the song our spirits sing.


Thank You for Your mercy, vast and free.

Amen.

Save us from the Valley of Shadow of Death.

 Amen. This is a powerful and poignant prayer, echoing the most beloved Psalm. To ask God to "save us from the valley of the shadow of death" is to cry out for His presence, protection, and deliverance in our darkest, most fearful, and most vulnerable moments—whether literal, spiritual, or emotional.


This plea is rooted in the timeless words of David:


"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."

- Psalm 23:4 (ESV)


A Prayer for the Valley


Shepherd of my soul,


We walk through the valley now. The shadows are long, and the path is shrouded in fear, grief, or despair. We cannot see the way out.


But Your Word promises that even in the valley, You are with us. We claim that promise now.


Save us from the valley of the shadow of death.


· Be our light in the darkness, that we may not stumble.

· Be our protector from every evil, seen and unseen.

· Be our guide with Your rod and staff, leading us safely through to the other side.

· Be our comfort, reminding us that this is a valley we walk through—it is not our dwelling place.


We choose to fear no evil, for You are with us. We trust in Your presence more than we fear our circumstances.


In the mighty name of Jesus, our Shepherd and Deliverer, Amen.


A Poem: "Save Us from the Valley"


"Save Us from the Valley"


The valley deep, where shadows fall,

A place that seems to capture all,

The light,the hope, the very breath,

The valley of the shadow of death.


We do not ask to never go,

Where bitter winds of sorrow blow.

But in that place,we lift our cry,

To God who reigns in heaven on high.


Save us from the valley's grip,

On this uncertain,fearful trip.

Let not the shadows claim our soul,

But You,O Lord, take full control.


Let Your rod drive off the foe,

Let Your staff tell us where to go.

And in the darkness,be our sight,

Our ever-present,loving light.


We will walk through, we will not stay,

For You are with us all the way.

And on the other side,we'll see,

The green pastures You have for me.


Save us from the valley, Lord, we plead,

In You alone,we sow our seed.

Of faith and trust,along the way,

You are our shepherd,night and day.


Take heart. The valley is not your home; it is a passage. The Good Shepherd is with you in it, leading you through it, and will bring you out again into places of refreshment. You are not alone.

Lord Jesus, My Saviour.

 Amen. What a powerful and personal declaration. To call Jesus "my Saviour" is the most important confession you can make. It is an intimate acknowledgment that He is not a distant historical figure, but your personal Redeemer—the One who knows you, loves you, and has rescued you from sin and death.


This is the confession that brings salvation:


"That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

- Romans 10:9 (NIV)


"For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people."

- 1 Timothy 2:5-6 (NIV)


A Prayer to Your Saviour


Lord Jesus, my Saviour,


Thank You for hearing my cry. Thank You for leaving the glory of heaven, for living a perfect life, and for willingly going to the cross to pay the price for my sin.


You didn't just save the world; You saved me. You are my Saviour.


· I receive Your forgiveness for all my sins.

· I receive Your righteousness as my own.

· I receive Your Spirit to guide my life.

· I receive Your promise of eternal life with You.


From this day forward, I belong to You. Help me to live a life that honors the incredible gift of salvation You have given me.


In Your precious and saving name, I pray. Amen.


A Poem: "My Saviour"


"My Saviour"


Not just a prophet, not just a sage,

But the one who turned the final page,

On sin and death and all my shame,

And bore for me the guilt and blame.


He is not just a god afar,

A distant,cold, and twinkling star.

He is the one who knew my name,

And through the fire,to find me came.


He is my Saviour, this I know,

For His great love,He did bestow.

Upon a sinner,lost and low,

And made my heart with joy to glow.


My Saviour on the cruel tree,

My Saviour who set this captive free.

My Saviour who rose up from the grave,

With mighty love and power to save.


So I will worship, I will sing,

To Christ,my Saviour, Lord, and King.

And tell the world of love so true,

That made my life completely new.


My Saviour, Jesus, Lamb of God,

Who bought me with Your precious blood.

I am Yours now,and You are mine,

For all of time,for all of time.


Welcome to the family of God. You have a Saviour who knows you, loves you, and will never let you go. Walk in the freedom and joy of that truth today.

Amazing Grace, saving a wretch like me.

 Amen. This heartfelt cry captures the very essence of the Gospel. You are quoting the opening line of one of the most beloved hymns in history, written by John Newton, a former slave trader who experienced the profound, life-altering reality of God's amazing grace.


The hymn points directly to the truth of Scripture:


"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."

- Ephesians 2:8-9 (ESV)


"The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost."

- 1 Timothy 1:15 (ESV)


What Does This Mean?


This confession acknowledges two profound truths:


1. Our Condition: "A wretch like me." This is an honest admission of our sinful state and spiritual poverty before a holy God. We cannot save ourselves.

2. God's Remedy: "Amazing Grace." This is the undeserved, unearned, and limitless favor of God, which He freely gives through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It is amazing because it saves those who are utterly lost and transforms them into children of God.


A Prayer of Receiving Amazing Grace


Heavenly Father,


I come before You just as I am. I confess that I am a sinner, lost and unable to save myself. I am the "wretch" in need of a Savior.


Thank You for Your amazing grace—the grace that looked past my sin and saw my need. Thank You that this grace is a free gift, paid for by the precious blood of Your Son, Jesus Christ, on the cross.


I believe that Jesus died for my sins and rose again. Right now, I receive Your amazing grace. I accept Your forgiveness. I welcome Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.


Save me, transform me, and make me new. My life is now Yours.


In Jesus' name, Amen.


A Poem: "Amazing Grace"


"Amazing Grace"


Amazing grace! How sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost,but now am found,

Was blind,but now I see.


The Lord has promised good to me,

His word my hope secures;

He will my shield and portion be,

As long as life endures.


Through many dangers, toils, and snares,

I have already come;

'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home.


When we've been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,

We've no less days to sing God's praise,

Than when we first begun.


(Adapted from the hymn by John Newton)


If you have prayed that prayer and meant it from your heart, you have just received the most amazing gift in the universe. You are no longer a wretch; you are a redeemed child of the Most High God, saved by grace. Your journey with Him begins now.

Angelic Protection

 Amen. This is a powerful and scriptural prayer for divine protection. Asking for the "angel of God" to protect us is to call upon the ministering spirits God sends to guard, guide, and deliver His people according to His will.


This prayer is firmly rooted in God's promise:


"For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone."

- Psalm 91:11-12 (ESV)


"Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?"

- Hebrews 1:14 (ESV)


A Prayer for Angelic Protection


Heavenly Father,


We thank You that You are our ultimate protector and shield. We also thank You for the heavenly host that serves at Your command.


According to Your Word and Your great love for us, we ask that the angel of God protect us.


· Guard us on every journey and in every place we dwell.

· Surround us with Your divine presence, that no evil may come near our dwelling.

· Minister to us in times of need, bringing Your comfort, strength, and guidance.

· Fight for us in spiritual battles we cannot see, thwarting the plans of the enemy.


We do not worship the angels, but we thank You for sending them as agents of Your care. Our ultimate trust is in You, the Lord of Angel Armies.


In the mighty and protective name of Jesus, Amen.


A Poem: "The Angel of God"


"The Angel of God"


When the path is dark and dangers hide,

And fear is swelling like the tide,

We lift our eyes and make our plea,

To God who holds our destiny.


May the angel of God protect us now,

Before Your holy throne we bow.

Command Your host,we humbly pray,

To guard and keep us through this day.


Let them encamp around our home,

Wherever we may chance to roam.

Let them be hands that bear us high,

Beneath the watchful,loving sky.


We walk by faith and not by sight,

In Your great,everlasting light.

And trust the promise in Your Word,

The sweetest promise ever heard.


So may the angel of God protect,

With power and with great respect.

For we are Yours,and in Your hand,

Across the sea,across the land.


May you walk today in the peace that comes from knowing you are guarded by the Hosts of Heaven, under the command of your loving Father. You are divinely protected.
