Tuesday: False teachers
Heavenly Father,
We know from Your Word that there will be false teachers. There have always been those that twist the Scriptures or teach a different Gospel. We pray today that there would be many who would become convicted of this. We ask that You would open their hearts and eyes to their deception and falseness, and to the fact that they are not leading people to Jesus and salvation. May they see that they are actually working for the enemy and not You. We also pray for those sitting in those churches to see the Truth. May they come out of darkness and into Your light. In Jesus name, Amen.

Wednesday: faithfulness
Heavenly Father,
We thank You, Father, for sending Your Son. We are thankful that we have a High Priest who intercedes for us. We are grateful that we can come to You through Him. We ask today that You will strengthen our faith where it is lacking. May we also be able to stand for Your truth and turn from everything else. Help us to run and not grow weary. May we be able to keep our mind on the things above and not the things of this earth, for in that we also know that we will have peace and rest. Remind us that You have all that we need and our treasure is stored with You. In Jesus name, Amen.

Thursday: prayer
Heavenly Father,
We come to You this day as a people who have great needs, who have family and friends with great needs, who see nations with great needs. Physical and spiritual needs. We also know that prayer can be our greatest resource, yet many times we neglect it. We ask today that You would clothe us with Your armor so we may battle where necessary, that You would call to our hearts to come and meet with You, that we would remember that we can come to the throne on behalf of all these needs. May we be a people in communion with You, sharing our needs, and praises, and thanksgiving always and without ceasing knowing You hear us. In Jesus name, amen.

Friday: 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.

Monday: Glory to God
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. We marvel at the many things that You have done, and that Your thoughts and plans for us are many. And to our God be all glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. There is truly none like You. May Your will be done in our lives today and may all glory be given to You. In Jesus name, Amen.

Tuesday: Israel
Heavenly Father,
We know that Your Word says to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. And so we pray that Your peace will settle in the hearts of the Jewish people. May they soften their hearts and turn their minds toward You, knowing that if they search earnestly for the truth that You will show them. May they see the truth in their Scriptures and come to know true peace by coming to know the Prince of Peace. We pray for wisdom for Israel's leaders. And we pray that they put their trust in You and not anything man can do. We thank You for keeping Your promises to Israel for in doing so we can trust Your promises to us. We look forward to the blessings that will be poured out on them when they come to Jesus. It's in His name we pray, Amen.

Wednesday: integrity
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for another day. We are grateful for it. May we see beauty in the things You have created and be thankful for the things You have given us. Help us today to walk with integrity. May we be people who want to work toward our lives being a display of the excellencies of Christ. May others know that we are different, and may we be able to answer them with the hope we have. Help us to be honest, trustworthy, loving, hardworking, humble servants of Yours. In Jesus name, amen.

Thursday:
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for the truth of the Gospel and that the truth is still going out and changing lives. We pray for those in countries like China and Iran who are new believers. May they stand firm in their new faith. We ask that You give them strength and wisdom. May their stand for Christ bring even more to You and Your truth. May we be encouraged to continue to pray for them. In Jesus name, Amen.

Friday:
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for providing the way for forgiveness, salvation, and a relationship with our Creator. Today we pray for our family and friends who do not have any of that. We ask that You would open their eyes to the truth. Please give us the words to say to point them to You. May our lives show a change and a light that others would desire to have. May we be able to answer them about the hope that we have. In Jesus name, amen.

Monday: 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.

Tuesday:
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.

Wednesday
Heavenly Father,
We come to You today to lift up those who are despairing, battling depression and anxieties. There is so much fear and uncertainty, and many are struggling with finding hope. We know that hope is found in You - You are the God of hope who can fill them with joy and peace. We pray that they will reach out to others and to You. May they know that in putting their faith in Jesus better things are ahead - maybe not in this lifetime, but definitely in the life to come. And even if things don't get better here, there can be peace in the waiting. In Jesus name, amen.
