Thus Says The Lord-Who God Says He Is, His Commandments and Promises

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

---

Good morning, saints of God. Today is Friday, the day that we have put aside a prayer. Prayer is much needed. Let us go to the throne of God. Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  

We thank you, Father. You are holy and you are perfect. You created heaven and earth, and you know everything. First of all, we just want to say thank you before we say anything else. Father God, we just want to give you praise.  

Father God, we just want to talk about who you are and what you do for us, and what you have always done for us, and what you always will do for us. And Father God, we thank you for being God Almighty, that you know everything.  

This is a brand new day, Father God and we give you praise. Your words say, don't worry about anything, but pray about everything. And Father God, there's so much to pray about. Lord, give us a mind to always talk to you first and be quiet and listen for you to speak.  

We thank you, Father God, for providing a shield of protection around us daily. You always protecting us. even when we don't think we need protection, even when we don't realize that we are in danger, you protect us, Father God.  

You protect us from all hurt harm and danger, Father God. We want to just say thank you, Father, every day of our lives, Father. Even the things like protection from the water that we drink, food that we eat, medication we take, our going out and our coming in.  

Father God, you are always there, and we thank you, Father, You have given us everything we need to live a Godly life. Father, we have no excuse. It's in your word, the Holy Bible, that we need to search out.  

Your word tell us how to raise our families, how to treat each other, and how to think and how to pray. You didn't leave out anything, Father, anything at all. We thank you for the world that we live in today.  

We pray for the world as a whole, Father. And things are not well because our government choose to do things their way. Selfish, greed, evil, thinking of themselves and not of other people.  

Then we look at our own duties as Christians. We are not doing our part. We are not dependent on you for everything. Our faith is not where it should be, Father. Our faith should be totally dependent on you because we know God will take care of all our needs.  

Help us Lord not to be distracted by the things in the world that are not of you. And Father God, we run into discretion days that from the time we rise until the time we go to bed at night, Father, discretion is everywhere.  

If we have a cell phone, we have TV, that's where it is. And yet, Father, we still can focus on you. And Father, forgive us of our sins. That's sin that we knew better and did it anyway. Sin that we committed and didn't give a thought that it was wrong.  

Sin separates us from you, Father. Help us to be attentive to your word so we can live rightly the way you intended for us to live. You gave us a commandment that we love one another as you have loved us.  

Your word tells us that love is very patient and kind. Never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud never haunted or selfish or rude, does not demand his own way so Father God we need help in processing this. 

Because you gave us everything we need in this scripture right here it's here Father God we have to treat each other like you sacred we have to be focused on you your word, your word that you made so clear, Father God, you made it so clear for us. 

You said that all that we do be done and love. And that's your first commandment that we love you, the second commandment, love our neighbor as ourselves. And Lord, your word said, be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of our mind.  

Help us with the way we think. Give us wisdom to have godly thoughts. Father God, because it's all in what we think. It's all about self. Father, give us the mind that you want to correct ourselves first.  

Let us go to you, Father Lord. Let us go to the word, Father, because it's in the word. In several different translations, your word says, let this mind be in you, which also in Christ Jesus.  

Another translation put it like this. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus hated. Another translation, make your own attitude that are Christ Jesus. Lord, bring out the minds back to you.  

Father God, we know we have a lot of distractions going on to this world. We have godly minds, but somehow, no, we just can't keep it focused. But we need to focus really on you. And that's the way we can live rightly like you want us to live.  

And we can live with other people, we can be kind. Father God, your scripture 2 Chronicles 7:14 tell us how to be Christ-like.  

This scripture we must work on daily. I mean, it's an everyday scripture. And it reads as, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.  

Father God, these verses is made so clear, but sometimes we just can't pick up that first part when it says, if my people You didn't say everybody in the world. You didn't say the worldly peoples.  

You didn't say, oh, people that don't have a thought about you. You didn't say the violent peoples. You didn't say the peoples that are in authority. You didn't say the people of high degree.  

You say, if my peoples, Father God, you're talking about us Christians who are called by your name, Father. First thing you tell us to humble ourselves. That could be hard to do, Father God, but we got to do it.  

We got to do it. We must humble ourselves and pray. The word is there and pray. And that's the, if my people need to pray. And you say, seek your face and turn from our wicked ways, Father God.  

Yes, Father God, we have wicked ways. We all times don't mean to have them. But sometimes they just splash them. But you said, turn something on. So Lord, you have given us exactly the answer that we need.  

You have given us the answer to the test. We don't even have to find out ourselves. It's already in this passage. So Father God, did we pass the test? Help us pass the test. And Father God, you said, then you will hear from heaven after we don't did this because we got to do our part first, Father God.  

Sometimes we think it's all about you doing what you need to do and we do what we want to do. But that's not the way your words say it, Father. That's not the way you meant it, Father.  

You said, then you will heal from heaven. Then after we don't be there, all of that. We don't harm ourselves. We have prayed. We have secure faith. We have trained from our wicked ways.  

And this is every day and you will heal the land, Father God. Land can be healed, Father God, and you're the only one can heal the land. It's just that much of trouble in the land. It needs healing.  

Like our bodies need healing. We need healing from a cold, a back ache, a toothache. The land can be healed the same way, but it takes you, Father God, and it takes your people bound together.  

And there's so much to pray about. So many people need our prayers daily Father. Let us start at home. Let us start with the parents, Father God. We pray for godly parents, that they depend on youth to give them wisdom and knowledge to raise their children.  

Because it takes that. Because the devil lives here on earth as well. He never leaves us alone. He's always there seeking some way to get in us, Father God, to get in our minds. And we ask you, Lord, to give them insight to know when things are not right with their children.  

Because we are not always with our children, our nieces, our nephews, our family, we're not always with them. Father God put in our heart and our spirit whether they are in trouble whether they are at home or either away from home. 

And we can have we can know that Father God because you give us that spirit you give us that mindset. And we pray for the teachers Father God because that's what most children are going they're going to school. 

And they are spirit and we pray that the teachers our spirit feels that they love their students and they pray for their students. And they wish way up for their students, Father. Father God, we thank you that when children go to school, they can have comfort in their teachers, Father God.  

And we pray for the sick, Father God. We pray for their health and strength in the Lord. We thank you for sending your word and healing them. We pray for the homeless, that your word, that your word you put in them, Father God.  

Father God, that they can move, that they could be better people when you send somebody into their lives. Father God, the world that they live in, sometimes it's against them, Father God.  

And somehow another, they just cannot pull themselves out of this situation. A lot of them didn't actually be that way, but somehow or another, they are that way. Some has to do with mental problem, home problems.  

We don't know, but we pray for them, Father God. And Father God, we pray for the hopeless, that they can't see a better way, they cannot see tomorrow. Father God, we pray that you send peace in their lives and give them your word of comfort.  

Father God, your word is always comfort, but we have to receive it that way. And Father God, we pray for the bereaved Father. Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Father God, sometimes we'll go through bereavement. 

Sometimes we can get over it pretty good. Sometimes we can understand if we're in Christ Jesus, we can understand. And then there's times that we just don't know why they had to leave us, Father God.  

But if we get in your word, Father God, it will tell us, Father God. And Father God, we pray for those who are depressed, those who are sad and have no hope. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted. 

He saves the Christ spirit in them. We thank you for your words, Father. And we pray, Father God, for the unbelievers, Father. We pray that they seek you before it's too late, Father God, because your message is all around them. 

They're just not in time, Father God. They think they have tomorrow. They think they have another year. They think they have another chance, but we never know. And Father God, we pray for the violence that's going on everywhere.  

We thank you for people being killed for no reason at all. We thank you, Father God. You are in control of all of this. You are in control. But you demand of man, Father God. We haven't been good stewards over your word the way you gave it to us, Father God.  

We thank you for your word, Father God, but help us to use it. Like I say, Father God, sometimes all of this is hard to process, but we got to go back to your word. Father God, we pray for those, continue to pray for those who are lost, those who have not accepted you.  

We pray for Father God that you send someone into their lives, Father God, so they can hear the message, Father God. Like I said before, it's too late, and one day it will be too late.  

And Father God, we just want to pray for every church, Father God. We pray that the word is going forth, Father God, pure and true, Father God. And the people that congregate in your sanctuary every Sunday, that they hear and they receive, Father God.  

And Father God, we thank you that your word is going forth everywhere, it's online. We can get it on Zoom. We can get on TV. We can get on radio. We can get it in books, Father God. We don't have an excuse, Father God, but we thank you, Father God.  

We thank you, that you already have made provision for us, Father God. As we said, don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Father God, let us know that it's all about what's going on with us, our mind, how we receive you, Father God.  

And Father God, we pray for our pastor, Father God, Pastor Zee and the project of the hope. We thank you, Father God, they didn't make such difference, Father God, and other people live, Father God.  

Father God, we pray for his wife and family, Father God. And we thank you that they are in the background playing also, Father God. We thank you for them, Father God. We thank you that he has a strong, Godly family.  

And Father God, we pray for the prayer works team. We pray for the devotion, the morning devotion. And it's a blessing, Father God, because your word is going forth. And Father God, we continue to pray and be encouraged, Father God, this day.  

Our scripture, one of my favorite scripture is, this is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Father God, because we have the story from the beginning to rejoice.  

Once trials and tribulation and destruction of this world come upon us, it's hard. But Father God, if we always be in your word and it takes every day. Prayer is a lifestyle. Serving the Lord is a lifestyle.  

Serving you, Father God, is a full time job, Father. Even praying is a full time job, Father God. So let us pray for each other. Let us pray for this today, Father God. Father God, your word says, John 3:16, For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  

Father God, we thank you for your son, Jesus. Father God, we thank you that he is our way maker. We thank you, Father God, that we can go to him for anything, Father God, the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.  

You gave us everything we need, Father, everything we need. We are without nothing. We are not empty. But a lot of time we hadn't been taught. That could be a problem too, Father God, when we are not taught the way as children, as younger people's coming up.  

But yet and still, Father God, you wish that none of us be lost. And Father God, you are going to give us all the opportunity to be saved, to answer you, Father God. All of us the opportunity to say yay and Amen because you're that kind of God.  

You're not just going to zap us up. You don’t need to send us to hell. No, you're not that kind of God. You're going to give us a chance. And Father God, we just want to thank you for keeping us safe, like I said, for taking care of our health, our strength, our mind, but keeping our emotions intact.  

And Father God, that's a big thing, Father God. And we thank you, Father God, for keeping our mind. Father God, because sometimes there's distraction in this world, it can have a toll on the way we think.  

And Father God, we just thank you for being our God. We thank you for being in our lives, Father God. Father God, it's so much to pray for. And when we go back to the way the world is today, we can't blame everything on our government, we cannot.  

We got to have that faith. We got to be in a community of faith, a community of believers, where we believe Father God and that we pray, that we pray faithfully. And we pray with a faithful heart.  

With a heart of love with a heart of peace and a heart of understanding a heart knowing that we working for you. We thank you Father God for this day Father God. Let us go and be encouraged. Let us encourage one another.  

Let us have good thoughts in our heart and let it come out of our mouth. Father God, everywhere we go, let us have something good to tell somebody and let it be about you Father God.  

Let it be about you. and we thank you Father God for your word we thank you that we can encourage ourselves like David in the Bible did. Father God it can be done and when we came Father God we ask you to send someone to encourage us, Father. 

Father God, we thank you for this day, we thank you for your prayers Father God, we thank you for giving us prayer Father God to talk to you to communicate with you Father God. Every day Father God not just one day but every day every day. 

And Father God as we begin this day which already has begun we thank you for us Father God and we thank you that we provide peace and love within ourselves and when we go out in the world Father God we thank you for keeping us safe. 

Father God these another blessing we ask you Father God in Jesus name we pray, Amen. Saints go and have a wonderful, beautiful day in the Lord thank you.
