Prayers
Father, Creator, Com forter, Nurturer and Giver of Life; you gave your only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for my sins, and I accept him into my life and heart today. Father, I thankyou for always being willing to accept me back into your arms, when I fall, when I am weak; when I neglected you. I turn my life back to you. AMEN

Father God, you are an awesome God, and your name is greatly to be praised. You gave us life, and all that flourishes around us; you alone created the heavens and the earth, giving us Jesus-the light. Forgive us our ways, Father God, as we lose track of that light, falling into moments of darkness in which we experience lonliness. Without your Son, Our Savior, life is indeed lonely and empty. Often we want to find answers to those things we simply don't understand; however, many times the things that we don't understand-we have to believe in faith. Father God and Heavenly Creator, we breathe the air of life; we don't see it, but we believe. We don't see the circulating and refreshing wind, but we believe in its existence-and we believe in you-Our Father, Our Creator, Our Life.
Help us, Father, as we turn our life to you, as we leave the darkness behind for the precious and amazing light-to grow in faith, knowing that you are indeed an awesome God. Help us to continuously realize that even when we face moments of trial and temptation, that the light is still there with us; just like a nightly sky, where we don't physically see the sun, but believe in the light just by looking up at the stars that are illuminated by the sun. Help us to always look up, to look forward-not backward and to always realize and remember that, Yes, you are and awesome God.

May Our Heavenly Father be with you, and Bless you in this glorious day; in the warm and guiding light of the Holy Spirit. Take with you each day, as you part for work, school or your service to Our Creator and Lord Jesus Christ, the Blessed symbol of our life to be eternal...the cross on which Jesus died for us. For you, me...no matter what may overcome us from day to day...obstacle and challenges...they're like a grain of dust in Gods eyes.

Dear Heavenly Father...bless each of us, and be with each one of us as we reach into our community and its lost to harvest HOPE and plant the seed of life, and nourish this seed with the one and only Living Water-Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who died for all our sins. We ask you Dear Heavenly Father, shelter us in the Blessed Holy Spirit-breathe within us new life, and guide us in your light as we grow and spread your Holy Word to our community. We want to deliver Hope for you Lord.

Dear Heavenly Father, thankyou for this day-all your Creations both large and small, and for life you've given us to which to praise your holy name with all our hearts. We ask that you touch each of us in a special and mighty way, so that we may be healed and to see your everlasting light. We pray that you bless all the poor and less fortunate, all the sick, and all those that need your strength..AMEN

As we pray in open arms to the Lord, we ask for his blessings amongst all our youth today, and in all our schools and places of education. Schools plagued with drugs, violence and weapons. You Lord, are Our Creator, and as we praise your name with our hearts lifted high, amy each student, leader and teacher be filled with your blessed guidance and peace. Lord, bless each and every family as they travel through the years of growth in your name and in your light. Lord, bless the educational buildings and havens in which our youth learn...and bring everyone in those establishments a renewed commitment for today and tomorrow....for all in your Holy name.
We pray that those on our streets today, those that may be in our lives, that may be guided towards a new sense of happiness and that they may feel your presence in each step that they take. Lord, you alone have created our lives, planned our every move, and know the number of hairs on our head, and know how many breaths we will take. We ask for a renewal of life in your Holy Spirit this glorious day...in Jesus's name...AMEN

We pray for our missionaries, and all missionaries throughout the mant denominations of the world. You know what it is like when the power goes out and all is dark, you try to find the flashlight or any source of light not knowing what's in your path...however, once you've found it, you're much more content.
Dear Heavenly father, we pray for those in strife torn communities and nations throughout the world, that Peace and Joy may fill their hearts. We pray for your guiding hand to carry our missionaries through these communties in your light, as they make personal sacrifices of warm beds, and homestyle microwaved cooked meals.....and securities of homesteads to spread the light of the Blessed Holy Spirit.
We look forward to taking trips, knwoing where we're going-our missionaries look forward to touching a lost heart-taking a trip for Jesus...a Heavenly light through obstacles and challenges that have plagued nations from Africa to the Middle East, from Asia to our own nation. We pray, father, that those obstalces are like grains of sand over a level surface, blown away with the wind-the touch of your hand, and although these sands will occasionally drift by-with the peace of a smoother horizon, those that are hurting and empty, the hungry-and the warm hands of our missionaries, thag they may be strengthened, nourished and prepared.
May the ministry and your Holy Word be the light of our communities, may your word be the news of the front pages-erasing constant headlines of war, devastation and strife....and those whom spread the peace of your name-our missionaries...may you richly bless them with the Holy Spirit and their families, be blessed as well.
We thankyou Dear Heavenly Father, for our missionaries and the opportunity that we have to pray for them and their works in your name.

As the first light of dawn breaks over the horizon, illuminating the sky, sea and land; we give thanks for the gift of a new day. As the light reveals the beautiful hues of autumns foliage; reds, yellows, and orange, we give thanks for the amazing and wondrous works of your hands, Oh God. Although we may face difficult moments, challenging moments in life; you continue to work around us and through us Oh God-and we give thanks. You give us nothing more than we can handle, and we give praise for the moments that we gain wisdom and knowledge through difficult moments; knowing that you’re in control. We give thanks for the blessed Spirit, which flows like a free flowing spring across all mountains and valleys; a Spirit which knows no bounds, conquers all and makes us victorious through all. We give thanks for your only Son, whose blood was shed that we may have eternal life; a gift freely given, a gift that we can freely accept. As the sun sets each day, we give thanks for the lessons of each day and for each opportunity of growth. As the sun sets, we realize that the sun still shines and will return again, although we may not see it for several hours.
We dwell in a darkened world of strife, poverty, and hardship- of darkness; and through all, a great light will shine. We are the carriers of that light, the stewards of that light in all we do; and we pray for strength Oh Lord as we grow in our Christian faith and reach out to help others—bringing a light to others. That light, Our Savior Jesus Christ….thanks be to God! AMEN
