Father God, such a lesson in not relying on our own strength, our own riches -- or even in the help of other people. You, and You alone can save us. You can cast down the mighty in a moment.

Father God, what You desire from us is faithfulness, as You are faithful. Yet, we fall short again and again, in little ways. Too busy to read Your Word one day. Or we don't spend time in prayer. Or we don't do the things You have laid upon our hearts. Or we spend time in activities that aren't uplifting. Or we allow bad habits to remain in our lives. Or we trust in our own strength instead of Yours. Help us, Father, to be more faithful to You. May we listen intently for the whispers of Holy Spirit directing us in the way we should go. Thank You for Your patience with us, and for Your faithful love. Amen

Father God, help us to discern between the clean and the unclean, and to make a distinction between the holy and the common. It's so easy to be led astray in these times and to be distracted by the things of the world. Not everything is bad, but not everything is holy and worthy of our attention. Father, we will stand in the gap and intercede for those who do not know You. We know the time is short, and You don't want anyone to be lost. Guide us in what we should do and may Holy Spirit give us the words to say. Thank You, Father, for Your love and mercy. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen

You are the Lord who sanctifies us. Thank You, Father. Amen----

Our hope and our strength is in You. Amen
