Prayer for Love

My prayer is for us to be able to love each other as God has commanded us to do. In Galatians 5:14 it says that the commandments are based on love. “All that the Law says can be summed up in the command to love others as much as you love yourself.” (CEV) Let’s take a closer look at the 10 commandments. They can be found in Exodus 20:3-17 and Deuteronomy 5:7-21. I would like to focus on Exodus 20:12-17 (CEV)

Verse 12 - “Respect your father and your mother, and you will live a long time in the land I am giving you.” If we truly love our parents, respecting them is not a problem.

Verse 13 -“Do not murder.” If we really love each other, how can we murder each other or cause anyone any type of hurt or pain?

Verse 14 - “Be faithful in marriage.” If our love is real, being faithful to our spouses should be easy to do.

Verse 15 - “Do not steal.” If we love each other as God has ordained us to, we would have no desire to steal anything from each other.

Verse 16 - “Do not tell lies about others.” How can we tell lies about anyone we truly love?

Verse 17 - “Do not want anything that belongs to someone else. Don’t want anyone’s house, wife or husband, slaves, oxen, donkeys or anything else.” If we love each other as much as we love ourselves, we would not covet anything that belongs to someone else. We should rejoice in the fact that God has blessed our brother and/or sister with so many blessings.

Father God, I pray that you will bless us with the type of love that is necessary in order for us to love one another as we love ourselves. If we possess this kind of love, there would peace here on earth. If we possess this type of love, there would be no divorces, murders, wars or any type of dishonesty. Bless us to be able to love one another in a godly manner. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Faith Without Works

My brother and I had a conversation a couple of days ago about having faith without works is dead.  What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? (James 2:14 [NKJV]).  In this context, works means what are you doing to show you have faith.  Having faith without trust is dead to God.  When we pray and ask God for certain things, we are commanded by God to have 100% faith.  Although, we tell ourselves and others we have faith, is it 100%.  Here is the test.  After you put in your request(s) to God, do you turn it over to Him and not focus on it anymore or do you still worry about it?  If you are yet worried, guess what?  You are not being 100% faithful; maybe 99%, but not 100%.

We are human and, at times, our flesh gets in the way.  Our spirit is willing but our flesh is weak.  We need to learn how to truly believe and trust in God 100%.  Just think how much easier our lives would be if we are worry-free.

God we ask that you bless us with more faith; that you bless us to be able turn over our situations to you and let go.  In Jesus name, we pray.  Amen.

A Prayer for Our Businesses

Father God in the name of Jesus, first of all we want to thank you for blessing us to see another day. We want to thank you for our businesses. We realize that you have appointed us to take care of your businesses. We realize that we have to operate our businesses the way you would.

Now God, we are asking that you bless our businesses. Bless us with more clients. Then bless us to be a blessing to those clients, as well as them being a blessing to us. We ask that your hands be with us as we provide our services to them. Now, God we ask that you show us what to do next in order to be successful in our businesses, as well as in everything we do. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Ask and It Shall Be Given

Have you ever been in the position of questioning God as to why your prayers have not been answered? According to Luke 11:9, all we need to do is ask and it shall be given. If you read the entire scripture, this is just the first step. I just read a daily meditation, which was very enlightening, and I was lead by the Holy Spirit to share it.

The key is don’t stop at the first step of praying, proceed to the next step in the scripture “seek and ye shall find.” Use your resources (blessings) to go look for what you are praying for. Then “knock and the door will be opened to you.” Be persistent; keep knocking until the door of opportunity opens up to you. According to the above-mentioned meditation, this is the meaning of active prayer.

May God bless you and keep you is my prayer.

Luke 11:9-10 So I tell you to ask and you will receive, search and you will find, knock and the door will be opened for you. Everyone who asks will receive, everyone who searches will find, and the door will be opened for everyone who knocks. (CEV)
