Influential for Jesus

/0 Comments/in /by

 And Jesus said to them, ‘Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’ (Matthew 16:6)

Lord, I know that it only takes a little yeast to affect a whole batch of dough.  The yeast of this world could very easily corrupt me and lead me away from Your Truth.  I pray that the yeast of this world will not affect the work of You in my life.

Lord, please give me the strength to overcome the influence of this world.  I pray that instead of being influenced, that I can be influential.  May I influence people for You!  May I separate myself from the ideas and temptations of this world.  So that I can influence people to follow You and know You.

Praying Through the Gospels

When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret. And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word into all that surrounding district and brought to Him all who were sick; and they implored Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were cured. (Matthew 14:34-36, NASB)

I would like to start a new series on here called, “Praying through the Gospels”.  Please take time to read the passage of Scripture I mention and ask God to work in your heart.  May these prayers through the Gospels bless and encourage you in your walk with the Lord!

Please feel free to share your own prayers, I would love to read them!

Here is my prayer from this passage…

Humble Servant Prayer

And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. (Deuteronomy 10:1)
A servant waits
A servant serves
A servant asks for direction
Seeks the Masters purpose
Looks to fulfill His plan
Desires to advance His purpose
Humbles himself
Lifts the Master up
Chooses peace
Chooses love
Chooses honor

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.  (Lamentations 3:22-23)

Lord,

Thank Your for this brand new day.  Thank You that Your mercies are new today!  I pray that I will use this day wisely to glorify You!  I pray that I will be aware of every opportunity I have to share Jesus with those around me.  May I shine the light of my Savior brightly.

A Willing Vessel Prayer

My prayer for today!

Lord,

Lately, I’ve been grieving my sinful nature.  I really don’t like how ugly my heart can be at times.  I hate and despise this wickedness I see inside of me.  I just want to be free from the sins that so easily entangle me, so I can better run the race You have marked out for me.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”  ~Hebrews 12:1
