Tuesday: those who are sick
Heavenly Father,
We come to you today on behalf of those who are dealing with illnesses. We know that You are the Great Physician. You also created our bodies and know how each and every single part and cell works. We ask for physical healing, but we also ask that whatever the illness is that it will cause the person to draw near to You. As they wait for healing, may they turn to You and trust in You. May they seek You for spiritual healing. And because we are at a time when visitors are being limited or in many places not allowed, we ask that You will comfort families who may not be able to be with their sick loved ones. We ask that You would give strength and wisdom to those who are caring for loved ones at home, whatever the illness. Thank You for those who You have brought healing to, and may those who do not know You come to know You so that they will have complete healing in the life to come. In Jesus name, Amen.

Wednesday:
Heavenly Father,
We thank You today for the work of the Spirit in our lives. We know that through His work we renew our minds, resist temptation, can love others properly, understand Your Word, and so much more. We pray today that You will help us to keep our mind from worthless things, to fix our mind on the things above, to live holy lives set apart for You. May we be in this world but not of it, ever looking for the city whose architect and builder is God. Renew our strength today for the fight is real and it is difficult at times. May we ever lean on You. In Jesus name, Amen.

Thursday:
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for another day. May we remember to give You glory for the things You are doing in our lives. Many are struggling in the fight. We ask that You would strengthen Your children, increase their faith, help them remember their hope and destination. Dress us in Your armor that we may continue to fight the good fight of faith. May we remember that we are Your children, and You are a good and mighty God. In Jesus name, Amen.

Friday: leaders
Heavenly Father,
We lift up our local and state leaders to You today. We are thankful for those who follow You and seek to honor You with the position they have been given. We ask that You would bless them with wisdom, peace, and clear communication as they seek to do what is best for their people. We also pray that those who do not know You would come face to face with that truth and the truth that they need forgiveness and salvation. And even though they are not serving You, we ask that You would help them to do what is right and just for the people under them. May they know how to respond for the various crisis that are going on. And lastly we lift up our national leaders. May there be unity and justice. Please work through them. And change the hearts of those who are not yours. In Jesus name, Amen.

Monday: Lousiana (and other storm hit places)
Heavenly Father,
We know that You are in control of the storms and weather that come. Proverbs says that You gather the wind in Your fists and in Job that You tell the snow and rain to fall. We pray today for those in who were in the path of Hurricane Delta. Much of that area had already been hit just six weeks ago. There is much loss and devastation. Help them to turn to You, the Creator of the wind and rain and sea. We also pray for those throughout the world who are dealing with much flooding. It's hard to see so much loss and destruction. But we know that this world is temporary and a perfect world is coming. May we spread that hope today. In Jesus name, Amen.

Tuesday: persecuted church
Heavenly Father,
We come to You today on behalf of Christians worldwide who are being persecuted. We pray that they will stand firm in their faith and place all their trust in You because You are trustworthy. We also pray for those doing the persecuting. May they see the Gospel at work and hear the truth so that their hearts can also be changed. We have read how Paul was changed and know that Jesus changes people. We pray for comfort for those who are separated from their families because of persecution. May they lean on You and the promises in Your Word. For this is not our home. In Jesus name, Amen.

Wednesday: teachers
Heavenly Father,
We thank You today for teachers. Thank You for those who love our kids unselfishly, struggle over their difficulties, guide them through uncertainty and teach them about the wonders of this world You created. We ask today that You would give teachers peace during this year. May they be able to work through the complexities of teaching in a school year that is so uncertain. Help them to be able to be prepared, to reach and encourage students who need it most, to be a source of strength for parents who are struggling. May they not give up because kids need them. In Jesus name, Amen.

Thursday: love
Heavenly Father,
We know that Your Word says that "God is love", and that people will know we are yours by our love - a love that comes from You. We ask today that You will fill us with Your love for others. May it come out in the way we talk and interact, in the way we live and the things we do for others. May we be motivated by Your love and not by some selfish thought. May it be a testimony to who we follow. In Jesus name, Amen.

Friday: pastors
Heavenly Father,
We thank You this morning for the pastors and teachers that You have given us. We ask today that You will give them wisdom as they study Your word. May they be able to clearly teach it to others. Help them to stay rooted in the Gospel and Your truth. We ask that You give them love and compassion for those they are ministering to. If they are married, we ask that You help them to remain faithful and to strengthen their marriages. Guide them as they serve You. In Jesus name, Amen.

Thankful God has chosen to reveal wisdom regarding the lateness of the hour, warnings and the schemes of the evil one to us.
Grateful for this forum where He has gathered His children.
Grateful many have been blessed through the body working together at Unsealed.
Grateful that while there is trouble, we don't grieve like those with no hope. I for one don't grieve like I once did. I see the day right in front of us and I am at peace.
I grieve for those I know that are hurting and do not have the blessed assurance.
Grateful for God's abundance when I begged for wisdom. He provide truth pressed down and overflowing.
Maranatha

Monday: believers
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for creating the family of believers. We get encouragement from one another, knowledge, love, strength, blessings, the list goes on. We ask today that You would give us the strength we need to finish well. Encourage those who either don't have a home church to attend or have one that is still only online. May they still reach out to other believers. May they truly show that the Church is a body of people and not a building. In Jesus name, Amen.

Tuesday: the lost
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the wonderful gift of Your Son. All of us have someone we love in our life who does not know Him. We ask that You help us to be diligent in praying for them and witnessing to them. We know that the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation, that there is power in Your truth. May they be cut to the heart as those in Acts were. May they see the signs of the time that we are in and ask their believing family, "What must we do?" We also pray for those we do not have contact with. May they hear the truth, see the evidence for You, see You at work, something to get their attention, and turn to You. In Jesus name, Amen.

Thursday:
Heavenly Father,
We come to You today because You are our loving and faithful Father. We ask that You would draw us close. Remind us who we belong to and that You are walking with us. And as Your children we know that You will provide what we need and will not turn us away. Today we need strength from You to continue our work here until You call us Home. We ask for love for those around us - a love that gives us the patience and understanding we need when interacting with others. We ask for patience as we wait for prayers to be answered, or physical needs to be meet, or just comfort and joy for our souls. May we know Your deep and abiding peace. In Jesus name, amen.

Friday:
Heavenly Father,
We praise You today as the one who is able to keep us from stumbling and to present us blameless before You with great joy. We are thankful that the work was done on the cross and that we are sealed with Your Spirit. And to our God be all glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. May Your will be done in our lives today and may all glory be given to You. In Jesus name, Amen.
