"1 Thessalonians 5:17 - Pray Without Ceasing - Friday Morning Prayer"

---

Good morning, good morning, good morning everybody. I hope you had a wonderful restful night and thank God it's Friday and we have a weekend coming and today as you all know on Friday we get to pray.

So let us pray. Our Father who art in heaven, our Lord be thy name. Thy kingdom come and Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us today our daily bread, and lead us not into temptation, and Father, continue to deliver us from the evil one.

For Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever, Amen. Father, we come before you today. We thank you for your mercy and your grace. We thank you that every morning you provide us new mercy for the day, and we claim ours today.

As we walk into the day, we recognize how fragile life is, and yet you have kept us, you have protected us from harm and danger, seen or unseen. So we are grateful.

We are grateful for the time that you have endowed us, the time that you have visited us, the times that you have. And Father, we pray that these times that we spend together, and may you continue to meet us where we are.

May you continue to strengthen us. And I pray, Lord, that as we see the changes that are going on in our world, may we be quick to follow the instructions that you left us as we see the times, as we interpret the times.

I pray, Lord, that as you strengthen us in all our efforts, I pray that your wisdom continue to guide us, in the things that we are doing, in the lives that we are living, in the jobs that we are doing, in the people that we meet.

I pray, Lord, that as you give us wisdom, we will always remember that we have a job to do, which is to be your disciples in the earth and to go forth and speak is gospel to all nations and make disciples.

For we know you are soon to return and you are coming back to a strong, vibrant church of the living God. So I pray, Lord, that those who are already in it, may they not fall out. And those who are in it, may they continue the mandate that you gave us, which is to make disciples.

I'm praying, Lord, that strength, boldness, and courage continue to be part of our journey. And I'm praying, Lord, that as we read your scriptures, that we catch the Spirit in them.

And that that God as we as we come together and catching the spirit that you are leading us in may we be so quick to do that which you are calling us to do for we know the time is near.

So I pray that In this season of our lives, as we are going through all these challenges that we are going through globally, as we hear rumors of wars, as we see people falling on the wayside, as we see bad leadership all over the world.

I pray, Lord, that may the church rise up and take its place. May we rise up and take our place. So bless us with courage. Bless us with boldness. Bless us with determination. Bless us with strength.

And Father, I pray that when we see opportunities to minister this gospel, may we be quick to take it. for we know the days are evil. Paul writes to the church in Ephesus and says, be careful then how you live, not as unwise, but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil.

So I pray that you hide us under the shadow of your wings, that you lead us in the pathway of righteousness, May we never put our God down, Lord, in the midst of all this chaos.

But may we be victorious, may we be the light, may we be the salt, may we be the hope that people interact and meet and see. May out of our belly flow rivers of living waters because of what we are going through and what we are doing in studying scriptures, in Bible study.

And in times that we take time to just worship you. May you grow us, may you broaden our shoulders, so that we become vessels that carry revelation, as you trust us with your revelation knowledge, as you trust us with your gifts.

I pray, Lord, that we become the vessels that you use daily to reach to those who are lost, the house that is still lost, the sheep that is still out there scattered all over the place.

And I pray, Lord, that you continue to raise us up in this hour for a generation that does not know you in the name of Jesus. Father, I pray that for each and every single one of us, make us good teachers of the world so that you can use us when time is needed in the name of Jesus.

Make us good stewards of our gifts that you have bestowed in us. Because your word tells us that every good gift comes from the Lord. And Father, as we know we have received good and perfect gifts, I pray for their utilization.

That God open doors, give us chance to serve you in this kingdom. As we walk in faith, believing that this kingdom is in full operation, doing what it is supposed to be doing in the name of Jesus.

Now, Father, as we pray, we continue to commit our children before you, our grandkids before you. In fact, we continue to dedicate and give them back to you, for you are sovereign.

And I'm praying, Lord, that for these ones that you have given us, may we instruct them in the things of the Lord and may they grow while we also grow and I pray Lord that our children will be the arrows that we shoot into the world.

And I pray Lord that as we as we as we walk this journey. May our children see us as an example of how to live and how to do the work of the kingdom. May their eyes turn away from worthless things and continue to direct them in the path of your commands.

Bless our children, protect them from harm and danger, every gift they have accounted for. And I'm praying, Lord, for wisdom to be part of their lives, part of their DNA, that as they walk this earth, as they go to school, as they do all that you've called them to do.

Father, I want them to walk in wisdom, full of spirits, in the name of Jesus. Protect them from sickness and disease. Father, we curse the spirit of this generation that seeks to infiltrate this generation.

Raised amongst us men and women, parents, fathers and mothers, grandmothers and grandfathers, who anchor the lives of our children through prayer and continued effort in teaching them.

Raise up mentors, men and women who care about spiritual things. Father, I pray for all that you are doing, in us and through our children. Bless our families, protect us as family units.

And Father, I pray for continued reconciliation in our families, that we will not be part of any estranged relationships. So Father, bring reconciliation, for you are a Father of reconciliation.

I pray for forgiveness to continue to reign in our lives and in our families so that unity can prevail and continue to be part of our culture. So bless every family whose name is found in Jesus.

And I'm praying, Lord, that in this season, you do remarkable things with families of believers so that we continue to be the light in this dying world.

Father, I pray for the works of our hands, the things that you have endowed us to do physically, the jobs that we have, the people that we touch, through the works of our hands, through the intelligence that you have given us.

I pray, Lord, may you bless our hands. Let these hands be the hands that build, not destroy. Let these feet be the feet that takes territory and gain territory for the kingdom of God.

I pray that we will not lack for anything because you have endowed us with talents and gifts. I pray for opportunities to do work in the name of Jesus, open doors for all of us so that our lives are enriched because of the works of our hands.

While we do the works of our hand, bless the works of the one who sent us. We know, Lord, you have sent us on this earth and you've given us a purpose.

And I'm praying, Lord, that may we all know our jobs and our spiritual work so that when we see it we grab the opportunity to do it in the name of Jesus. So we desire to build for ourselves treasure in heaven where moth will not destroy it.

So Father I pray that may our spiritual work continue to grow and continue Lord to elevate us in the name of Jesus Father we thank you for gifts spiritual gifts that the Holy Spirit has generously given us.

And I'm praying, Lord, that may we be used by you. We desire to be used by you to do spiritual kingdom work. So open doors of opportunities to do spiritual work for every single one of us.

And when those doors are opened, may we enter and ask questions later. We want to grow through the work that you have given us to do. So, Father, bless the works of our hands. Bless the works of our spiritual hands in the name of Jesus.

I pray, Lord, that you open our eyes and stack our ears so that we can hear what the voice of the Lord is saying in this hour. we will continue to need direction in this earth for we know this place is a dangerous terrain.

And Father we want to be the light but we want your guidance in everything that we do so we open our hearts and open our minds and give us the courage and the ability to quickly act when we hear the voice of the Lord.

So continue Lord to speak to us for your servants eyes and ears are open to hear revelation, knowledge and truth and wisdom that leads to great and continued life.

Father, I pray that in this hour, your Spirit continue to invade us as you grow us in all our efforts. But Father, I pray knowing that we have the mandate that you have placed on believers through the scriptures.

That if your people who are called by your name humble themselves in prayer and seek your face, only then will you hear from heaven and heal this land. So Father, I pray that may this ring true in every believer's mind all across this country.

To know, Lord, that the mandate to heal a nation has been placed on believers. So help us to understand this cause. For we know the challenges that this country and many other countries are going through.

So I pray, Lord, may believers continue to turn away from their wicked ways, to seek your face, to can and behold the glory of our Father so that you can heal this nation.

We pray for all political leaders, men and women who are in offices, governors, lieutenant governors, student school administrators, wherever we find leadership here on earth, we pray for every single one of them.

That Lord raise up a group of spiritual men that care about spiritual things so that once and for all we can have a government and a leadership that is called or that is know that knows of God that are fearful of God that's what we are asking for in this season for Lord.

We are So sick and tired of being manipulated by a worldly leadership that do not care at all about spiritual things or about people. They have an agenda, Lord, to destroy humanity for whatever reason.

And we know mostly it's because of greed and money. So I pray, Lord, that you come to our aid. Come to our aid, Lord, we need you in this hour. And I pray, Lord, for this war that's going on in our world.

We know your word says in the last days there will be rumors of wars. So I pray, Lord, for the preservation of human life that is not yet, that he has not yet received salvation.

That Father, no one would die in this world without receiving salvation, because you desire for none of us to perish. So Father, I pray that even in the midst of all this, you will raise up somebody who will speak truth to another to bring salvation before any tragedy happens.

But above all else, we pray, Lord, that may this war come to an end in the name of Jesus. We also, Lord, of the understanding that you work all things for good, for those who are called according to your purpose.

So whatever that is happening in the earth, Father, if it's your hand, we say Yay and Amen. If it's not, we pray, Lord, for expedience that, God, you may stop it even in this hour in the name of Jesus.

Remove bad leadership all over this world. Men and women who are so corrupt that they cause strife to many. And I pray that you soften their hearts. Give them an opportunity to repent, to find Christ.

But if they so desire not to, we ask for their removal because we are tired, Lord, of being subjected to all this rubbish. So come to our aid. Hear us, Lord, for we desire your hand to work things out in this world, in the name of Jesus.
