Today's Passage> 1 Thessalonians 5: 1-11
Memory Verse > 1 Thess. 5:8
Father, You have chosen us to be sons and daughters of the day, and not of the night. What an awesome thing, to be chosen as one of Your own! You've called us out of darkness and into Your marvelous light, and we come willingly to serve You and live out our lives to bring You the glory You deserve. But this privilege also comes with a responsibility. You require us to awake from our slumber, because we are still in the midst of a war. This war is for our nation, our families, and our faith in You.
We pray today that You will fill us with such a passion to seek You like never before, not as a religious exercise or out of some sort of obligation, but with expectancy to see You move on our hearts and in the lives of the people around us. Give us a spirit of watchfulness, being aware of the times and seasons so as to always keep Your presence before us. Keep us prayerful and thankful for Your intervention in this age. Give us a heart to seek Your Will above all else, and never compromise our devotion to You.
According to Your Word, we declare that we will be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and wearing on our heads the helmet of salvation which is the very hope of our existence. May we embrace this season of comforting and edifying one another like never before, filling each other with this blessed hope, so that we all may walk in contentment and peace, knowing that You, the Shepherd, are in full control. We also lift up our pastors, asking You to cover them and give them even more anointing and intimacy with You so that they may preach Your Word unhindered and unrestrained all their days.
We also pray that You will give us the grace to forgive and release one another no matter what the offense was, not rendering evil for evil at all, but showing them mercy just as You have done for us over and over again. We declare that we will rejoice always, praying without ceasing, and giving thanks to You in every season. May we arise to give You sincere praise today, with that blessed hope in our hearts. May that hope spread to the lives of those who need to know that You are real, and that You reward those who diligently seek You. In the mighty Name of Jesus, Amen.
