Now is the time to relax. Close your eyes, and give yourself a tight hug. Hold that tight hug for 60 seconds, and then slowly let your whole body relax from the top of your head down to the bottom of your feet. Breathe deeply and slowly. Once your entire body is relaxed, be still for an additional 60 seconds. Give yourself a new reward.
You have completed tasks that will help you compare your thoughts to scriptures, follow God, break curses, get right with God's Word, unplug, listen, and obey. Our next series is Week 4: Knowing the Scriptures.
All the Building Faith Prayer Points:
- Ask God for strategies to replace negative thoughts with the Word of God -God, You are Jehovah El ‘Emunah - the God of truth. You are forever faithful. You are blessing in the heavens and on earth. Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable to You God, our Lord, and savior. Help us replace our negative thoughts with the Word of God. For scriptures are powerful, relevant today, yesterday and forever. Forgive us when we dwell on the lies of negative thoughts. Help us to forgive those who have said negative thoughts and actions towards us. Protect us from all dangers seen and unseen. Let Your light shine throughout this world. In Jesus name, Amen
- Ask God for strategies to put Him first in every area of our lives -God, Jehovah Rohi – You are our shepherd. You care for us. You meet our every need with abundance. You give us rest because You are with us. We don’t have to worry, but we can rest knowing you will help us do what it takes to fulfill our purpose in life. That’s why You are great and mighty. Compared to You, we are meek and ordinary. Yet You deeply care for us. Thank You! Let Your will be done in our lives and country, as it is in heaven. Give us today's wisdom, knowledge, and strength we need to receive our daily bread. Forgive us for considering our own will before Yours. Help us to put You first in all areas in our lives. Help us to forgive those who crossed our boundaries. Lead us away from all things that tempt us and deliver us from evil. Thank You for always being with Us. You are the Alpha and Omega. You are the beginning and the end. We love You! You are our eternal source of peace and provision. In Jesus name, Amen
- Ask God for strategies to have a pure heart, continual filling of the Holy Spirit and on the full armor of God -God, You are Jehovah M’Kaddesh. You cleanse us and make us holy. Thank You for being willing to make my spirit, soul, and body clean. It’s not by our power and strength we are honest, but it’s by the blood of Jesus, we are sanctified. Everyday helps me to yield to Your will by asking for a pure heart, continual filling of the Holy Spirit and putting on the Whole Armor of God. So every curse and hindrance set to destroy us will not prosper. Forgive us for disobeying Your instructions or for not making it a priority as we forgive those that violated our guidelines and have not made us a priority. Help us to resist temptations that open a doorway for hindrances, leads us to death, and results in us receiving curses. So Your name will be glorified forever and ever. In Jesus Name, Amen.
- Ask God for strategy to apply scripture with wisdom- God, Jehovah Shammah. You are here with me. I’m so glad because I haven’t always done things that have welcome your presence. However, I’m delighted that I am doing what is necessary for your presence to be honored in my heart. I’m so thankful that You sent Your son Jesus to save me and provide me access to You - the Lord of Lord and King of Kings and ruler of heaven and earth. That’s a fantastic illustration of love. Lord, I’m asking You to give me today an open heart to hear Your instructions and give me the wisdom to apply it, the knowledge to know it, and the strength to do what it says. Forgive me for disobedience and hardening my heart and refusing to listen to Your Truth, because it hurt and didn’t agree with my selfish desires. Please, Lord, help me to desire Your will for my life and not my own will. Keep me from temptation and evil. You are all-powerful and amazing. God, I truly appreciate your love. In Jesus' name, Amen.
- Ask God for strategies on how to unplug from distractions- God, Jehovah El Shaddai. You are almighty. You are all-powerful. We can run to You and dwell with You to receive real rest. Let Your rest fill this earth. Help Your people to fellowship and spend time with You. You are our source of strength. Your presence gives life to dead places. Help us unplug from anything that is distracting us from spending time with You. Forgive us for spending more time with television, video games, tablet devices, computers, phones, and smartwatches than with You on the Sabbath day – our day of rest. Help us to be depended on You and not technology. So we can be better family members, friends, and workers. When evil surrounds us and tempts us, keep us safe and on the right path. Keep a hedge of protection around us. Thank You for Your Guidance and directions. In Jesus Name, Amen.
- Ask God for strategies on practicing obedience -God, You are our Abba Father. You want us to trust You with all our hearts completely. We are Your children because we are born again. You have adopted us into the family of God, which makes us heir of God! You are genuinely loving and awesome. We need more and more of You here on earth. Let your glory fill the earth. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Abba Father, thank You for providing our daily bread and giving us the wisdom, knowledge, and strength we need to obey you immediately with enthusiasm whenever You give us instructions. Forgive us for our disobedience and disgruntle attitudes when You speak to us. Help me to stay on Your path and protect us from evil. Please help us to resist temptation. I love You and adore You forever. In Jesus Name, Amen.
