My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine;
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day
Be wholly Thine.
Amen!

Most Gracious, Merciful, Loving Abba Father,
Jesus, I am resting, resting, In the joy of what Thou art; I am finding out the greatness Of Thy loving heart. Thou hast bid me gaze upon Thee, And Thy beauty fills my soul, For by Thy transforming power Thou hast made me whole. Oh, how great Thy loving kindness, Vaster, broader than the sea! Oh, how marvelous Thy goodness, Lavished all on me! Yes, I rest in Thee, Beloved, Know what wealth of grace is Thine, Know Thy certainty of promise, And have made it mine. Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus, I behold Thee as Thou art, And Thy love, so pure, so changeless, Satisfies my heart; Satisfies its deepest longings, Meets, supplies its ev'ry need, Compasseth me round with blessings: Thine is love indeed! Ever lift Thy face upon me, As I work and wait for Thee; Resting 'neath Thy smile, Lord Jesus, Earth's dark shadows flee. Brightness of my Father's glory, Sunshine of my Father's face, Keep me ever trusting, resting, Fill me with Thy grace. I love Thee Lord Jesus. And it is only in Your name which is above all other names that I am able to sing and praise and worship You Lord
Amen!

Most Gracious, Merciful, Abba Father,
Thank You Father that You are a Great God and that You performs miracles. The heavens praise Your wonders O God. You are the God of salvation. You redeemed me by the precious blood of Your only begotten Son who came into this world to save sinners like me. O God I was a hell doomed sinner and You called me out of darkness and into Your marvelous Light. Thank You Lord Jesus for saving my soul and for making me whole. "Open my eyes that I may see Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me; Open my ears that I may hear, Voices of truth Thou sendest clear; Open my mouth and let me bear gladly Thy warm truth everywhere;" Thank You for Your mercy and love and patience that endureth forever Lord Jesus for You are God. Such knowledge of Christ is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain, and I just praise You O God for You goodness because I am fearfully and wonderfully made and that I am being conformed to Your image. I rest in that fact Lord Jesus, though it is far beyond my comprehension. How can I ever understand Your ways O God. I am not worthy to be Your slave yet You called me to be Your child and You anointed me with gladness, filled me with Your Spirit and gave me joy and peace and hope inside my being. Your wonderful love for me Lord just bubbles up inside me all day long. Your Holy Spirit You have freely given to me and to all who ask. He has revealed You to me Lord Jesus and He has led me into the truth, into Your path of righteousness and that You have a future purpose for my life here upon this earth and I do praise You for that Lord because it is that hope to fulfill Your purpose that helps me to stand firm in Your Word and to run to win the prize of my high calling in Christ Jesus who is my Saviour. Thank You Father for the Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed me with all the spiritual blessings I am able to contain and that by abiding in Him I remain in fellowship with You all day long no matter where I may be. Thank You Father that today, in Your marvelous day of grace, I can worship You along with all Your other dear children. You are the Lord of my life, my Master and my Intercessor, for it is in You alone Lord Jesus that I am able to praise and worship God and to offer this prayer.
Amen!

Thank You that You are in the process of sanctifying me and that one day soon, I hope, I shall be glorified. I will forever be with You in glory. Lord Jesus You saved me by grace and today I live by Your grace alone. Thank You Father that Your grace will see me through till I reach the golden shore.

You Lord Jesus take care of me and my family. You are our Shield in this world. You Lord Jesus are my very great reward and Your Word lights up my pathway. It is truly the Sword of the Spirit. You are the Bread of life Lord Jesus and this day I want to share You with all who are willing to hear. Thank You for every Word that You have given to this world. Thank You that I am able to take refuge under Your wings because You have redeemed me by Your precious blood. Thank You that Your Word cleanses me from my sin Lord Jesus for it is Living water to a very thirst child in a very dry land. It is the very best bar of soap there is. Grant me wisdom, knowledge and understanding to be able to comprehend the great truths You have given in Your Word Lord Jesus. Thank You for Your promise that Ye who sows righteousness shall reap a sure reward. Father it is my aim this day to sow righteousness and I trust Christ Jesus who is at work in me to produce in my life the fruit of the Spirit. Lord Jesus You know how much I love You and this day I want to love You more than I did yesterday. I want to serve You better than I did yesterday and I want to grow in grace Lord Jesus. I want to live by Your grace alone this new day so I can fulfill Your purpose in this world. I want to do good to all people Lord. I want to tell the Gospel with much passion and enthusiasm and bring lost souls to You Lord. Please prepare the hearing of those I am able, through Your mercy, to reach this day for Your own, dear, precious names sake Lord Jesus. I am Your bond servant Lord, willing to do Your will. I want to sow seeds of righteousness Lord, Your seed, the seed You have given me to sow and I want to work hard for I know that the harvest will come at the end of this age.

Amen!
26 October 2009.
Most Gracious, Abba Father,
Today I want to praise You Lord Jesus, I want to praise Your Holy Name forever for You are God of very God. Father though You made me Your child, I want to be Your bond servant because I want to work Your works of righteousness here upon this earth. Abba Father I know that in me dwells nothing good at all and therefore I come to You with empty hands and heart and I ask You to cleanse me from all my sin which is ever before me and to fill me with all the spiritual blessings I am able to contain. Father I love You and I love to prove my love through Christ who dwells in me and who constantly grants me power and strength to keep the faith that You have so graciously given to me. Thank You for giving me seed to sow Lord Jesus and thank You for watering that seed so that it can grow. Thank You for all Your abundant blessings which You have literally poured into my life and into my families lives. Thank You for blessing abundantly Clayton, Andy and Losinda and giving them good wages Lord Jesus. Father in my life I have had tribulation and sadness and much sorrow. Great sorrow for sin, and ill health because of sin but You have graciously healed my wounds. You have poured the balm of Gilead onto them and though there are many scars You have poured oil over them also and made them very light. Father, You have filled me Joy, You have filled me with Your Living Word, and You have given me peace. Thank You this new day, again and again, for Dr J. Vernon Mc Gee who through the Holy Spirit opened the way for me to find You Lord Jesus in Your Word in a very special way and he taught me that to study Your Word is the greatest blessing there is that I can ever hope to have on this earth as I wait with patience for Your return and now after more than 30 years have gone by I know it is the truth. Father I cannot ever thank You enough for Your Word. I love Your Word with all my heart Lord Jesus and You know that I do. I love it more than anything else on this earth because it keeps me in close fellowship with You Lord Jesus through the Holy Spirit convicting me of all my sin and producing in my heart godly sorrow for sin and Your precious blood that keeps on cleansing me from all unrighteousness. Your Word keeps me entirely satisfied with my life Lord Jesus because my life is in You alone. Your Word keeps on cleansing me from every spot and stain in my life and I thank You Father for that. Thank You for anointing me with the oil of gladness and please will You help me to study more diligently and enable me through the Holy Spirit to understand more clearly what You are telling me day by day as I study because I want to show myself approved unto You O God. Gracious Father, my greatest fear is that I may be ashamed at Your appearing. Please help me Lord Jesus to abide in You constantly because I know that the only way my prayers can ever be answered is through my abiding in You. I need Your Presence constantly Lord Jesus because I want to pray without ceasing in Your Holy Most Precious Name. I want to give thanks and praise and honor and glory unto You Lord for Your mercy that endureth for ever. Thank You that You remembered me in my low estate, and that You redeemed me with Your most precious blood Lord, and that You have saved me from all my enemies. O today may I give thanks and praise and honor and glory unto You Gracious God of heaven and earth for Your great mercy for I need plenty, plenty, of it to get through this day Lord Jesus and I ask for mercy and for wisdom and for understanding and for grace for I want to live by grace this new day that You have given me. I ask in Your most precious name
Amen!
25 October 2009.
Most Gracious Abba Father,
Thank You for correcting me Abba Father, O God I will not despise Your chastening. Thank You for binding up my wounds Father. Thank You for laying Your healing hand upon me. Gracious Father I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. I will wait on You Lord Jesus and I will be of good courage, for I know that You will strengthen mine heart. I will delight myself in You Lord Jesus for You are God. I know that nothing can ever happen to me that You do not approve of or that will not teach me to trust You even more than I already do Lord Jesus. Thank You for calling me to come out of this world and to be joined unto You Lord Jesus so that I may follow You in truth. Thank You for starting the good work of salvation in me and please fill me with Your Holy Spirit this new day that I may bring glory and honor to Your Holy Name. Please help me to work out the salvation that You have wrought in my life with fear and trembling for I know that it is God that worketh in me both to will and to do of His own good pleasure. Thank You for being my Advocate Lord Jesus and that it is in Your Holy and righteous and worthy alone name that I am bale to offer this my supplication right now
Amen!
24 October 2009.
Most Gracious Abba Father,
Thank You for the Holy Spirit who is willing to reveal the Lord Jesus Christ to me Abba Father. Thank You that He is the Spirit of truth and that He will guide me into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew me things to come. Oh gracious Father how wonderful it is that He will glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and that He will show Him unto me. Thank You for the ability to read and study Your Word O God for You are the Living Word and the Bible is the only Supernatural Book there is in this world and I have many copies of the Bible. I thank You for them all Lord Jesus. Thank You for Your goodness, Your great kindness to me Lord Jesus, for Your great mercy and Your very great love that You have showered upon me for almost 59 years. Thank You Abba Father that You never change You know all things pertaining to my life and You know O God that my sin is ever before me and that I am very disappointed with myself many times because I do things in my own strength instead of trusting Christ Jesus my Lord. Please forgive me O God and place a right Spirit within me. I want to walk in the Holy Spirit all day, that is my goal Lord Jesus, to remain in You. I ask this in Your most worthy alone name, which is above all other names, and for Your sake Lord Jesus
Amen!
23 October 2009.
Most Gracious Abba Father,
When I survey the wondrous cross, On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God: All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were an off'ring far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. Thank You Lord Jesus for what You did for me for it is in Your name only that I am able to pray
Amen!
22 October 2009.
Most Gracious God,
Lord Jesus You have told us that in this world we will have troubles therefore I thank You for all my troubles because I know that suffering will produce a penitent heart. Lord Jesus. I know that You have brought suffering into my life because it will prove me, of what sort I am, and lead me on to maturity. Father I am nothing until Your Holy Spirit begins to move in my heart and life. I have nothing to offer to You O God. Help me to remember that this trial of my faith is only temporary. For this light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while I look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. O I do want to praise You this day Father that I am able through Christ Jesus my Lord to work for a reward and that I am kept by Your mighty power O God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Hallelujah! Bless the Lord Jesus Christ forever and ever! Nothing can ever pluck me out of His hand for I am His and He is mine forever and forever and it is for His dear sake I offer this my supplication gracious Abba Father
Amen!
21 October 2009.
Most Gracious, Abba Father,
Lord Jesus Thou art the fairest of all! Thou art the Ruler of all nature! O Thou of God and man the Son! Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor, Thou, my soul's glory, joy, and crown! Fair are the meadows, Fairer still the woodlands, Robed in the blooming garb of spring: Lord Jesus Thou art fairer, Lord Jesus Thou art purer, Who makes the woeful heart to sing. Fair is the sunshine, Fairer still the moonlight, And all the twinkling starry host: Lord Jesus You shine brighter, Lord Jesus You shine purer, Than all the angels heav'n can boast. Beautiful Saviour! Lord of the nations! Son of God and Son of Man! Glory and honor, Praise, adoration, Now and forevermore be Thine! Hallelujah! Amen! Lord crucified give me a heart like Thine, Teach me to love, the dying souls of men, and keep my heart in closest touch with Thee, and give me love, more Calvary love, to bring the lost to Thee. I pray this my supplication in Your most precious worthy alone name Lord Jesus
Amen!
20 October 2009.
Most Gracious, Abba Father,
Be merciful unto me this day O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in Thee: yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. Send from heaven Thy Spirit O God and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. Send forth Thy mercy and Thy truth O God. In the shadow of Thy wings will I make my refuge. That is where I have always found shelter. I want to be obedient to Your Word this day O God because I love You Lord Jesus. I want to keep all Your commands O God and to walk in the Spirit this day. I ask this my earnest prayer in Lord Jesus peerless name and for His sake
Amen!
19 October 2009.
Most Gracious, Abba Father,
Thank You that You care about every detail of my life Lord Jesus. Thank You that I can hand all my enemies over to You. Thank You that You are just and righteous and true to Your Word Lord Jesus. Your Word is my delight and my comfort. It has the answer to all my questions and I praise You Lord for Your Word which is a lamp for me in this dark, dark world. Father I long for the day when Christ Jesus shall come in the clouds and I shall be caught up to meet Him in the air. Please grant me courage to stand firm in Christ Jesus and to remain faithful. Lord my greatest fear is that I may not remain faithful to You. Thank You for Your Word which assures me that You will keep me because I have been sealed with the holy Spirit and my name is written in Your Book of life. O God I long to praise You with all my heart, soul and mind. Forgive me Lord Jesus for I am weak and sinful and grow weary so quickly. Lord I cannot even watch and pray with You for one hour. Please help me Lord Jesus to bring lost souls to You for salvation. Help me to scatter Your Word so that all those who want to hear it will be blessed and uplifted. Thank You Father for all the wonderful work done by Your faithful children on the internet. Father it is so wonderful to have all these believers sharing their testimonies, and encouraging me to keep on keeping the faith. Thank You for giving me seed to plant Lord Jesus and thank You for motivating me and giving me courage and strength to go out into the world each new day with a message from Your Word. I love Your Word Lord Jesus and I love You because You first loved me. Please hear my prayer Father God, I pray in Lord Jesus precious name Amen!
18 October 2009.
Most Gracious, Abba Father,
"Blessed be Thou O God for the Lord Jesus Christ. Lord Jesus Thou art very God. God is our Father, that is His position in the Trinity and You are His only begotten Son, that is Your place in the Trinity. You are the firstborn from the dead. God our Father so loved this world that He gave us His only begotten Son to die an awful death upon the cross of Calvary to show us just how ugly our sin really is and that He placed all our punished on You Lord Jesus so that all who believe on Your name might be saved from Your wrath which is to come upon all those who do not know You as Lord. Father I believe that one of these days you will return to this earth in flaming fire and You will take vengeance on those who do not know the Lord Jesus as their personal Saviour form sin. I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was not begotten in the sense of being born. I believe that He is the only begotten One in the sense that He occupies a position that is entirely unique. He is the eternal Son, and You O God are the everlasting Father. Thank You Lord Jesus that You are my personal Saviour and that God is our Father. He is my Father because He is Your Father. Thank You for the Trinity. Father, Son and Holy Ghost. They are eternal. Thank You Father that the Lord Jesus in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with You and the Word was You O God. And You were made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld Your glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace, mercy and truth. Your One and Only begotten Son, which was in Your bosom Father, came to this earth and showed us Your face. "He hath declared Him." Thank you Father that I have been saved by grace and that the Scriptures have made me wise unto salvation. You are the God of all mercies - the Father of mercies, for You loved the world so much that You provided a Savior for the world. Everything I have today O God, I have because of Your great mercy, and I thank You for Your mercy constantly at work in my life for You O God are rich in grace and rich in mercy. I need Your mercy today Lord Jesus and therefore I come to our Father and ask Him for mercy, for help that I do not deserve. For I do not deserve anything that I have, for all I have, is only given to me by the mercy of God our Father even that I can offer this prayer of thanksgiving in Your Holy, most precious name. Your Word teaches me that whoso offereth praise, glorifieth You Lord Jesus
Hallelujah!
Amen!
17 October 2009.
Most Gracious, Merciful Abba Father,
Thank You Lord Jesus that Your eye is upon them that fear You, upon them that hope in Your mercy; Thank You Lord Jesus that You love righteousness and that judgement is Your strange work. Help me to be obedient Lord and to judge myself before I go to sleep at night. Fill me with godly sorrow Holy Spirit for being proud and selfish. You are my help and my shield and I need You Lord. You make my heart rejoice and I trust in Your Holy Name
Amen!
16 October 2009.
Most Gracious, Merciful Abba Father,
Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight - That You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your Presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise. For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart. These, O God, You will not despise. Thank you Lord Jesus for this prayer from the heart of David, who is a man after Your own heart and I pray this prayer earnestly this early morning in the precious name of the Lord Jesus who is my Great Intercessor.
Amen!
15 October 2009.
Most Gracious, Merciful Abba Father,
May I give thanks unto You this new day for You are so very, very good Lord Jesus for Your mercy endureth for ever. I want the world to know that You have redeemed me with You precious blood Lord Jesus, and that I am a living witness of Your marvelous grace. My heart sings because You have delivered me from the hand of my enemies. Thank You that I may dwell in the secret of Your tabernacle and that You feed me and give me living water to drink. You are the Fountainhead of Living water Lord Jesus and there is no safer place to be. I cried unto You Lord in my troubles, and You delivered me out of all my distresses. You led me in the path of righteousness for Your names sake and You anointed my head with oil and today my cup is running over with joy, You are the Joy of living and I want to praise You all day long for Your great mercy and Your boundless grace and for Your wonderful works in my life and in my families lives. You satisfy the longing of my soul Lord Jesus and You fill my soul with Your goodness. I love You Lord Jesus and it is because of what You did for me on Calvary that I am able to offer this my supplication in Your peerless name which is above all other names Lord Jesus for Thou art God
Hallelujah!
Amen!
14 October 2009.
Most Gracious, Merciful Abba Father,
May the beauty of the Lord Jesus be upon me this day and will You please establish the work of my hands Lord. I want to do something in this life that will have value in eternity! Teach me to number my days that I may apply my heart unto wisdom for Christ my Lord has been made unto me wisdom. He alone is my hope in this world O God. I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress. Lord Jesus Christ, Thou art perfect, Thou art holy, Thou art sinless. I want to always dwell in the secret place of the Most High God. I know You will deliver me from the snare of the fowler. I know that You cover me with Your feathers and under Your wings Lord Jesus I am safe from all alarm. Your truth is my shield and buckler. I cannot be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrows that fly by day because You are my hiding place and there no evil can befall me neither can any plague come upon me. You Lord have set Your love upon me therefore You will be my comfort in this life. You know my name Lord Jesus and therefore I may praise You. I want to give thanks to You Lord for Your lovingkindness this new morning, and I want to give thanks to You for Your faithfulness in keeping me through the night. You O Lord are the Most High God forever and ever and it is in Your name alone that I am able to offer my prayer of praise and thanksgiving
Amen!
13 October 2009.
Most Gracious, Abba Father,
Lord Jesus You are so mighty and so powerful and so very, very good. There is no other God like unto Thee O Lord. You speak and it is done. Father Your Word is a lamp unto my pathway. You are the light inside my life. You fill me with joy and happiness. There is nothing like being Your servant Lord Jesus. You treat Your servants like kings. Thank You for allowing me to be a partaker of the fellowship of Your sufferings and that You are busy making me conformable unto Your death. Thank You that when You died on the cross I died in You Lord Jesus and that when You arose from the grave I arose in You and You Lord gave me a new life in Yourself. Once I was far from God and dead in sin, No light my heart could see, but in God's Word the light I found. Now Christ liveth in me. O what a salvation this, That Christ liveth in me. As lives the flower within the seed, As in the cone the tree, So praise the God of Truth and Grace, His Spirit dwelleth in me. With longing all my heart is filled, That like Him I may be, As on the wondrous thought I dwell, That Christ liveth in me. Hallelujah! Father may I thank You today for Daniel W. Whittle, who lived on this earth from 1840 to 1901 for this wonderful hymn of praise. You Gracious God are the author of all praise and You have given us teachers, pastors and evangelists and today I thank You for each one of them and ask You to continue to bless the labour of their hands for Your own dear names sake Amen!

Your ever present mercy in my life. Thank You for this Your day of grace, the day in which I can come to You and receive Your precious gift of salvation. Thank You Father for the many opportunities You give Your dear children to reach out in Your name and achieve great things. You tore the bars away, Jesus, my Lord! Up from the grave You arose with a mighty triumph o'er Your foes .You arose a victor from the dark domain and You live forever with Your saints to reign. You arose, You arose, Hallelujah Christ arose. Now I can go into the world with Your Word and lost souls can turn to You for salvation. Thank You Father for this huge privilege I have as Your child. May I walk with You Lord and will You fill me with the Holy Spirit this new day so that I may do those things that bring glory, honor and praise to Your Holy name Lord Jesus.

11 October 2009.
Most Gracious God and Loving Heavenly Abba Father,
"Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When Thou saidst, Seek ye My face; my heart said unto Thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. Hide not Thy face far from me; put not Thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. Teach me Thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, on the LORD." Thank You Lord Jesus for David. Thank You for this prayer of David and thank You that I can meditate upon it. Please help me to exercise Your patience as I long for Your return daily Lord Jesus and to use Your strength to run the race that is set before me and to lay aside all the sin that so easily besets me. I ask this in Your peerless name, thanking You that You are my salvation, thanking You that You are my life and thanking You that You are the Christ, the Only Wise God our Saviour, to You Lord be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever for You O Lord are able to keep us. You are the keeper of Israel and the keeper of Your very own people in this world today
Amen!
10 October 2009.

Thank You for this glorious new day that You have so graciously given to us. Thank You for bringing me into this world and for choosing me to be a part of Your great plan of salvation. Thank You Lord that You knew me before I was ever born and that You had a purpose for my life. Father when I meditate upon the garden of Eden and the flood and then how You led Your people, the children of Israel, Jacobs children, out of Egypt and through the wilderness, and when they had no water You gave them water from a rock it makes my heart sing praises for Your goodness and mercy. Lord Jesus today You are to me in Your Word water. You are my Rock and from You flows living water to my soul all day long. Thank You Lord Jesus that I can open my Bible 24/7 and read and study and get to know You a little more each new day. Thank You that from your Word comes something old and something new each time I study Your Word. Thank You for Your Word Lord Jesus and that it is alive and active and that it cleanses me from my sin and changes my mind and makes me a little more like You each new day Lord Jesus. O how I long to be perfect, mature, grown up in Your Word so that I will trust You more than I do. Help me to rest in You Lord because you know my heart, my new heart that I received when I was born-from-above. Thank You for giving me a new heart that seeketh after Thee Lord Jesus. Teach me to love the dying souls of men and keep my heart in closest touch with Thee, and give me love, more Calvary love, to bring the lost to Thee. Thank You for the privilege of prayer, that You hear me Lord Jesus Christ, because I ask in Your peerless name
Amen!

Most Gracious, Ever Loving Abba Father,
Please forgive me of all my pride. I am guilty Lord Jesus. I am selfish and lazy Lord Jesus. When I read and study Your Word it is like looking in a mirror and just seeing all the dirty spots on my face. Please cleanse me by the washing with the pure water of Your Word O God and please let the mind of Christ Jesus fill my thoughts this new day. I long to be where You are Lord, away from all the sin which so easily besets me because I am so very weak and sinful. I need You Lord Jesus to take full control over all my thoughts and over all my emotions because I want to, truly long to, live for You this new day so that I will bring glory and honor to Your holy name. I ask this my earnest supplication in Your most Precious and Worthy alone name Lord Jesus.
Amen!

Most Gracious Abba Father,
Lord Jesus Christ, please cleanse me from my sin and wash my feet this early morning hour that I might enjoy fellowship with You and worship at Your feet. You are the King of Glory, You are the Prince of Peace, You are the Lord of Heaven and Earth, You are the Son of Righteousness. Angels bow down before You, worship and adore for, You have the Words of eternal life, You are Jesus Christ the Lord. Hosanna to the Son of David! Hosanna to the King of Kings! Glory in the highest heavens, For Jesus the Messiah reigns. In anticipation Lord Jesus I know that one You will reign on this earth. You will rule in righteousness and how I long for that day when all Your enemies will be under Your feet and all evil will be done away. My hope, blessed Lord Jesus, is anchored in Thee, Thy righteousness only now covereth me, Thy blood, shed on Calvary, now is my plea; My hope, Lord Jesus is in Thee. I stand on the Rock that no tempest can shake, And life from Thy hands ev'ry moment I take, Thy love will endure when all others forsake; My hope is in Thee Lord Jesus in Thee. Wonderful Saviour, all glory to Thee! In Thee is salvation so full and so free; I'll shout forth Thy praises through all eternity; My Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ, My hope is in Thee.
Hallelujah!
Amen!

Most Gracious Abba Father,
Thank You this new glorious day Lord Jesus that You have given me and that I am able to say that You are my Great Shepherd and I can truly thank You because all the promises in Psalm 23 are true in my life. You have fulfilled every one of them Lord Jesus and You have always spread a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Thank You for keeping me thus far Lord Jesus for almost 59 years and because You have done this for so long I know You will keep me till I walk through the valley of death or I live to meet You in the air. O Lord Jesus I long for You to appear and I want to do many good works for Your glory this day so that I can win first prize. I long to have a crown of righteousness laid up for me so that I may present it to You one day Lord Jesus. Please fill me this day with Your joy so that I may radiate Your light in this dark world. I ask this prayer in Your worthy alone name, the name which is above all names and for Your sake Lord Jesus.
Amen!

Most Gracious Abba Father,
Out there amongst the hills, my Saviour died, Pierced by those cruel nails, was crucified. Lord Jesus Thou hast done, all this for me, Henceforward I would live, only for Thee. Thank You Lord Jesus that I have been reconciled to God because You died on that awful tree, in my place, for all my sin. It was Your great love for me that nailed You to that tree. To die in agony for all my sin. For my own guilt and blame. You the Great Redeemer came, willing to bear the shame, of all my sin. Oh what a Savior is mine, In Him God's mercies combine, His love can never decline, And He loves me. And Oh how I love You Lord Jesus! Once I was bound, but now I am set free, Once I was blind, but now the light I see; Once I was dead, but now in Thee I live, And tell the world around me the peace that Thou doest give. I love Thee, I love Thee, because Thou didst first love me, And purchased my salvation on Mount Calvary. I need Thee, precious Saviour! Oh, Thou art all to me; Before Thy throne forever, I stand complete in Thee. Tho' Satan loud accuses, Yet I can ever see, The blood of Christ most precious, The sinner's perfect plea. I need Thee, precious Saviour! I need Thee day by day, To fill me with Thy fullness, To lead me all the way: I need Thy Holy Spirit, To teach me what I am - To show me more of Jesus, To point me to the Lamb. I need Thee, precious Saviour! And hope to see Thee soon, Encircled with the rainbow, And seated on Thy throne. There, with Thy blood-bought people, My joy shall ever be, To sing Thy praise, Lord Jesus, And ever gaze on Thee. Today it is in Your holy precious name and for Your sake alone that God our Father will hear and answer my prayer.
Hallelujah!
Amen!

Most Gracious Abba Father,
When morning gilds the skies, My heart awaking cries: May Jesus Christ be praised; Alike at work or prayer To Jesus I repair: May Jesus Christ be praised. Does sadness fill my mind, A solace here I find: May Jesus Christ be praised; Or fades my earthly bliss, My comfort still is this: May Jesus Christ be praised. In heav'n's eternal bliss The loveliest strain is this, May Jesus Christ be praised; The pow'rs of darkness fear, When this sweet chant they hear: May Jesus Christ be praised. Be this, while life is mine, My canticle divine, May Jesus Christ be praised; Be this th'eternal song, Thro' all the ages long: May Jesus Christ be praised!
HALLELUJAH TO CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD!
Amen!

Most Gracious Abba Father,
From everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God, from the vanishing point in the past to the vanishing point in the future, Thou art God. Lord Jesus You came out of eternity, at the appointed time, into the little town of Bethlehem, born of a woman, in a manger. You are the eternal Son of God. You are eternal life. Thank You Lord Jesus for being mindful of man, that You left heavens glory and became a man. You visited us because You wanted to communicate with us, and You wanted to save us because You saw our lost condition. Thank You Lord Jesus for saving my soul and for making me whole. Thank You for imputing Your righteousness to me so that I am able to communicate with God our heavenly Father. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit dwelling in me, teaching me how to live. It is by Your grace that I have been saved Lord Jesus and it is by Your grace alone that I am able to live for You on a much higher plane than were the men and women of the Old Testament. Help me to love my neighbours as You love them Lord Jesus because of my great love for You. I want to be obedient but I cannot be obedient in my own strength Lord Jesus because what my neighbours do, hurts me terribly much. Help me to overcome myself Lord Jesus, help me to overcome my pride and in lowliness of mind let me esteem others better than myself. Lord this is so difficult and I cannot measure up to it but You have enabled me to live for You by Your marvelous grace. You have made every provision for me in Christ Jesus for I have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit which is of God, help me to know the things that are freely given to me of God. My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and because I have been bought with a great price I am able to glorify You in my body and in my spirit. Help me to keep Your commandments because I love You Lord Jesus and when I keep them I know for sure that You are abiding in me for You have not only delivered me from the penalty of sin, but You have also delivered me from the power of sin. Thank You gracious Abba Father that today I can say with John Newton, and I do praise and thank You for his faithful witness this day, that I am what I am by the grace of God. Your marvelous grace has provided the power for me to live for You in the here and now. Thank You Lord Jesus that in Your name I am able to communicate with God our Heavenly Father. Thank You for abiding in me and thank You for the forgiveness of all my sins which are ever before me. Help me to strive for the mastery in all things, to obtain an incorruptible crown to lay before You one day, a crown of righteousness, which You Lord, the righteous judge, will give me at that day; and not only to me but unto all those who love Your appearing. I want to learn and understand Your Word gracious God because I love Your Word and because Your Word liveth and abideth for ever. I ask this in Lord Jesus peerless most precious name
Amen!

Most Gracious Abba Father,
Thank You for the Lord Jesus Christ who is full of grace and truth. Thank You for giving us Your Holy Word. Thank You that in this day in which we live You have spoken to us in and through Your only true Son. You have chosen to speak to us through Him and only Him. Thank You that we today have Your last Word to this world in the Lord Jesus Christ. Help me to love Your Word Father and to be obedient to it and to meditate upon it night and day. Father I want to learn all I can about You and I long to tell others what You mean to me and about Your program for the future. Please grant me wisdom and knowledge and understanding Lord Jesus to be able to hear You clearly in Your Word and put into practice what You want me to do because my only true desire is to bring glory and honor to You Holy Name. Thank You Lord Jesus for dying in my place and bearing all my sin in Your own body upon the tree of Calvary. Thank You for the fact that You are today The Risen Glorified Christ and that my life is in You Lord Jesus and that You alone are my hope and my strength and that it is in Your precious, peerless Name alone that I am able to offer this my supplication to God our Heavenly Father
Amen!

Most Gracious Abba Father,
Thank You this brand new day Father. The heavens are filled with millions of stars as I look out of my window and there is absolute stillness and peace after the rain has soaked the dry earth. Thank You for the rain, the sunshine, the cloudy days, the bright days, the green grass, the beautiful flowers, the water we drink, and the air that You have so graciously given us to breathe. Father You gave us clean air and pure water. Thank You for all these good gifts. Thank You for the Lord Jesus Christ who when I sought Him became my salvation and that I found complete rest and peace from all my enemies, in Him. Behold He is my salvation and I will trust Him and I will not be afraid of what man can do unto me for it is in His strength alone I am able to stand this day. I know He will deliver me from all my enemies for He has made my pathway smooth and many high mountains plains before Him. Father You have turned my gloomy days into glorious ones and I praise You eternally for Your goodness and mercy and the joy of Christ Jesus which dwells in me constantly. I know that one day He will gather His ancient people, and bring them home to His church, also He will bring in the fulness of the Gentiles, when all will be one, united in holy love, let me this day tread the highway of holiness Christ Jesus has made for His redeemed. Let me wait for the mercy of my Saviour unto eternal life, looking unto Him the author and finisher of my salvation to prepare my way through death, that river, which separates this world from the eternal world. I love You Lord Jesus for all that You have done for me on Calvary. You know that I love You and it is in Your precious, worthy alone name and for Your sake that I am able to make my requests known to God our heavenly Father.
Amen!

Most Gracious Abba Father,
Thank You for this brand new day Lord Jesus in this brand new month. Please forgive me for my sin Lord Jesus, for I have been selfish and puffed up with pride and I have not done the things I ought to have done. I need cleansing, with the washing of the water of Your Word this new day. I need my feet washed Lord Jesus. I need to be filled with Your Holy Spirit so I can praise You Lord Jesus as I ought for You are Holy, Righteous, Just and True. You are the only wise God of this entire universe and I bow very low, actually I am spiritually flat on my face before You Lord Jesus. I cannot lift my head or my hands because I have gotten dirty in this world and I can say nothing in my defence. I want to show the world how much I love You Lord yet I am apathetic and at times I feel quite helpless in this world. People are running to and fro Lord with no concern about their future at all. Please will You open a door for me to get Your warning out to this lost world that is headed to Your final Day of Judgement Lord Jesus. I need You Lord Jesus desperately and I love You with all my being and I want to do Your will. Please will You abide in me this day and work out the salvation that You have worked into my life so that I may be a true witness of Your abundant grace and mercy and that through my life You may fulfill Your divine purpose in this world. I ask this my supplication in Your peerless name and for Your dear names sake Lord Jesus.
Amen!
