"1 Thessalonians 5:17 - Pray Without Ceasing - Friday Morning Prayer"
Good morning everybody. I think we're having technical difficulties, but nonetheless we are here. Let us pray. Beautiful Lord, wonderful Savior, I know for sure that all of our days are held in Your hands, crafted into Your perfect plan.
You have gently called every single one of us. by the guiding of the Holy Spirit. So we ask You, Lord, that You teach us, dear Lord, to devote all of our lives to You. Father, may our prayer rises incense before You, lifting our hands as a sign of sacrifice.
Oh Lord Jesus, turn Your eyes upon us, for I know there is mercy in Your sight. Your statutes are our heritage. Our eyes and our hearts are set on keeping Your decrees.
Even though sometimes we stray away here and there, but You have kept Your love upon us and we shall keep our knees on the floor as we reach out to You. to all of us Lord I can see limitations.
But Your commands, Your words, Your scriptures, Your spirit is boundless and You have no limitations so Your word is our joy and is our meditation from the rising of the sun from the setting of the sun You have always always kept Your love and faithfulness on our lives.
Your mercy is renewed every single morning. We know that the road is narrow but the burden is very light because You come and gladly take it off our shoulders and lead us into triumphant procession.
So Father we shall gladly kneel down and leave our pride on the side for we know You are constantly looking at the humble every morning we shall praise You every evening we shall walk in Your ways and we'll follow You all of our days as You lead and guide us in all things true and in all things right.
So Father as we look to You this morning we just want to be thankful for the lives that we have the families that we are in the friends that we have, colleagues that we have, the jobs that we have the gifts and talents that we possess Father.

As You continue to give us a portion of Your kingdom to execute and exercise our gifts and talents as we edify one another so Father today as a pastor I bless these Your people I bless the gifts and talents they possess.

I pray Lord that victory is sure and guaranteed for every family that is represented here. We come against the spirit of death whether it is the death of gifts and talents or the physical death of human beings.
I pray Lord that we will all live to accomplish what You have said for us to accomplish in this lifetime in the name of Jesus. I pray Lord that every gift that is laying dormant that God You may resuscitate it so that it can be utilized for the benefit of this kingdom.
Father, I pray for the preservation of our bodies. We know, Lord, that we come in contact or eat food that sometimes can derail our metabolism or our physical bodies. I'm praying, Lord, that You give us wisdom to eat right.
You give us wisdom, Lord, to put inside of our bodies the things that edifies it so that we can live healthy long lives so that we can serve You without dealing with physical issues.

We bless relationships that they can be edified and strengthened. We bless mothers and fathers, those who are taking care of loved ones. We bless them with strength, wisdom, character, boldness, determination.
And Father, I pray, Lord, that whatever we are fighting, we will see victory in it, in the name of Jesus. Strengthen those who are taking care of aging parents and strengthen our aging parents.
So that all years will not derail that which You have given them as gifts to execute and to do in this lifetime. Bless relationships between us and our older parents.
Give us an understanding of how to take care of them and also give them an understanding of how to allow, how they can allow us to take care of them. So I pray for peace as generations separate and differ in thinking that God help us with understanding one another in the name of Jesus.

So that we can turn from our wicked ways because what we desire is for You to hear the church asking for mercy, asking for grace and asking for blessing and peace for this country.
We pray for this country and its leadership. We also ask that You raise spiritual men that care about spiritual things. Father, shut down the spirit of corruption that has invaded this country and different offices that God, You exonerate us from this spirit in the name of Jesus.
We know we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against rulers and principalities in the heavenly places. So we pray, Lord, as You sustain us, as You strengthen us, that God You continue to give us position as believers in this country.
That our voice will continue to carry great meaning and that it will challenge these offices and people who are leading us so that the Spirit of the Lord can guide us in the things that we are doing as a nation.
Father You know and You see everything that's going on around us and we ask You that may You grant us favor and victory in all things that we are doing in this country. Father extend Your mercy to those who need it and give an opportunity to find salvation.

And we pray, Lord, for favor as we do what we do. And we pray, Lord, for strength as we do what we do. And I pray for grace to abound in everything that we do. Now, Lord, unto You who is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than we can ever imagine.
We continue to ask You to guide us in everything that we do. Help those who are sick, help us who might be tired and weary, and give us rest for our souls.
And I pray, Lord, that what we are doing will never grow weary and tired as we execute the very thing that You have placed in our hands to execute.
