‘For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life'—Proverbs 6:23‘Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.'—Proverbs 9:6

“Forsake me not, O Lord.” — Psalm 38:21 Frequently we pray that God would not forsake us in the hour of trial and temptation, but we too much forget that we have need to use this prayer at all times. There is no moment of our life, however holy, in which we can do without […]

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Psalm 36   1  The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.   2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.   3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.   4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.   5 THY mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and THY faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.   6 THY righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.   7 How excellent is THY lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of THY wings.   8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of THY house; and THOU shalt make them drink of the river of THY pleasures.   9 For with THEE is the fountain of life: in THY light shall we see light.   10 O continue THY lovingkindness unto them that know THEE; and THY righteousness to the upright in heart.   11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.   12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.   ***   Psalm 37   1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.   2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.   3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily THOU shalt be fed.   4 Delight thyself also in the LORD (The Word); and HE shall give thee the desires of thine heart.   5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in HIM; and HE shall bring it to pass.   6 And HE shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.   7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for HIM: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.   8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.   9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.   10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.   11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.   12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.   13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.   14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.   15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.   16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.   17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.   18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.   19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.   20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.   21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.   22 For such as be blessed of HIM shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of HIM shall be cut off.   23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in HIS way.   24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with HIS hand.   25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.   26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.   27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.   28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not HIS saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.   29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.   30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.   31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.   32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.   33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.   34 Wait on the LORD, and keep HIS way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.   35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.  36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.   37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.   38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.   39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: HE is their strength in the time of trouble.   40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: HE shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in HIM.   ***   Psalm 38    1  O LORD, rebuke me not in THY wrath: neither chasten me in THY hot displeasure.   2 For THINE arrows stick fast in me, and THY hand presseth me sore.   3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of THINE anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.   4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.   5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.   6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.   7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.   8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.   9 Lord, all my desire is before THEE; and my groaning is not hid from THEE.   10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.   11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.   12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.   13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.   14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.   15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: THOU wilt hear, O Lord my God.   16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.   17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.   18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.   19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.   20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.   21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.   22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.   ***   Psalm 39    1 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.   2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.   3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,   4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.   5 Behold, THOU hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity.   6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.   7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in THEE.   8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.   9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because THOU didst it.   10 Remove THY stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of THINE hand.   11 When THOU with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, THOU makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity.   12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not THY peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.   13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.   ***   Psalm 40   1  I waited patiently for the LORD; and HE inclined unto me, and heard my cry.   2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.   3 And HE hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.   4 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.   5 Many, O LORD my God, are THY wonderful works which THOU hast done, and THY thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto THEE: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.   6 Sacrifice and offering THOU didst not desire; mine ears hast THOU opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast THOU not required.   7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,   8 I delight to do THY will, O my God: yea, THY law is within my heart.   9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, THOU knowest.   10 I have not hid THY righteousness within my heart; I have declared THY faithfulness and THY salvation: I have not concealed THY lovingkindness and THY truth from the great congregation.   11 Withhold not THOU THY tender mercies from me, O LORD: let THY lovingkindness and THY truth continually preserve me.   12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.   13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.   14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.   15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.   16 Let all those that seek THEE rejoice and be glad in THEE: let such as love THY salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.   17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: THOU art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.   

When Jesus was on the cross, he cried out: "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" Does this mean that God actually forsook Jesus? Many people think so. But in this episode, Matt offers some reasons why that's not the case at all. +++Support the podcast via Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/TheBibleUnmuted⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Read Matt's blog: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠matthewhalsted.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Don't forget to subscribe to The Bible (Unmuted)!

2:30 FSU Shooting HorrorBypassing Florida's strict campus gun laws, this Sheriff's Youth Program member's rampage exposes the chilling vulnerability of defenseless students. 6:49 Israel's Starvation Siege Kills Thousands of Children While Media Ignores Atrocities              In a horrifying act of deliberate cruelty, Israel's six-week food blockade has plunged Gaza into a man-made famine, starving thousands of children to death and leaving millions malnourished as Israel adamantly states “no humanitarian aid” will be allowed.     Breaking a ceasefire with renewed bombings, Israel has killed families, bombed schools, and even targeted Gaza's only Christian hospital on Palm Sunday. With no food, fuel, or medicine allowed in, humanitarian workers watch helplessly as civilians die under a policy of "voluntary relocation"—a chilling euphemism for ethnic cleansing. 13:10 Christian Zionists Betray Christ: Cheering Gaza's Genocide     Australian writer Caitlin Johnston exposes the shocking betrayal of 30 million Christian Zionists in America, who blindly support Israel's brutal Gaza atrocities, believing it's God's will. Ignoring Jesus's teachings that “my kingdom is not of this world,” these cult-like evangelicals twist Old Testament prophecies to justify starvation and slaughter, bombing child-filled “concentration camp.”         Even pagans recoil at this spiritual bankruptcy! 19:39 Are Christian Zionists Missing Christ as the Pharisees Did?“Christian” leaders like Ken Copeland and John Hagee (who says Jesus didn't come as Messiah and never said he was the Messiah) have exchanged the Kingdom of God for a worldly Zionism.  Like the Pharisees of Jesus' time they want political power and victory and they're whitewashed sepulchres 35:43 LIVE comments from audience 43:33 Mel Gibson: We Need the Truth About 9/11Says we need people of impeccable character to get to the bottom of it.  You mean people like Rudy Giuliani, Howard Lutnick, Gina Haspel? 53:45 US Boasts God-Like Power: Bending Time and Space in a Techno-Babel Takeover! White House tech czar Michael Kratzios stuns the world, claiming the US wields sci-fi tech to manipulate time and space!  He boasts of annihilating distance and supercharging productivity, but is this hyperbole or a chilling reality? With technocrats worshipping innovation as their god, this hubris echoes the Tower of Babel's arrogance 1:02:43 AI Twins: Digital Clones as Personal Assistants or Something Family Can Interact with When Your Gone      A new wave of AI startups is crafting digital twins—eerie replicas that mimic your voice, thoughts, and actions, taking your meetings, answering emails, and even “comforting” loved ones after your death!     Are they trying to replicate Michael Keaton's Multiplicity or Marlon Brando's computer tutor for his son in Superman? 1:31:31 Robot Hype Goes into HyperSpace: Move Fast and Defraud People     OpenAI former employees go public with claims about Sam Altman's character     A Forbes investigation alleges Figure AI's hyped-up robots, promised to revolutionize BMW factories, are exposed as a fraudulent flop, inflating a $40 billion bubble     Nvidia, caught in a trade war, grovels to both the U.S. and China, chasing billions while handing Huawei the AI chip market. 1:48:48 “Singing in the Reign”: Trump's as Unpredictable as the Weather     Trump says we have to weather the storm unleashed by his erratic tariff flip-flops, yet his own campaign merch is made in China.     With prices soaring, orders plummeting, and jobs vanishing, Trump's whimsical trade wars—delayed one day, denied the next—are strangling global commerce. From wine importers to chipmakers, companies reel as his emergency-powers dictatorship mimics 2020's martial law madness. 2:04:30 Global Chaos Ignites Gold Surge as Trump's Unpredictable Tariffs Create Economic Firestorm     Gerald Celente, the trend forecasting legend TrendsJournal.com, exposes a media conspiracy silencing the gold's meteoric rise as it rocketed from $2,041 to $3,327 an ounce.   Wall Street Journal and New York Times are still ignoring spikes of over $100 a day!     Celente warns of a collapsing dollar, nuclear war risks, and Trump's chaotic tariffs shaking markets.

Blake answers your questions about the Bible, theology, and Christianity. The two questions submitted by the audience this week are: 1.) Did God forsake Jesus on the cross? If not, what does Matthew 27:46 mean? And, 2.) What is John measuring in Revelation 11:1? And after the Antichrist has made his peace treaty with Israel, will it be available for devout Jews to get right with God? If so, how?

736 I Will Not Leave You Or Forsake You, A Guided Christian Meditation on Joshua 1:4-6 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect wi h the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization. Get into a place where you can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving jor anything tensing or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation Joshua 1 ESV 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory. 5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. RSV 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, as I promised to Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphra′tes, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory. 5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. 6 Be strong and of good courage; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Meditation on Scripture: This time of this scripture was a great transition for Joshua, who was to lead the Israelites into the promised land after Moses. It is interesting how different the demands on these two leaders was. Moses was predominantly responsible for leading the Israelites through the desert. Joshua was a warrior leader. Each had a very different mission. God used their different perspectives, temperaments and strengths do do His important work. Humans dont know what is required to do what God needs but God does. God guided Moses just enough for him to be able to do what was needed. There were many times when Moses didnt know exactly what to do but worked it out. Sometimes he failed but God helped him resolve the problems. Similarly Joshua received the support he needed to do what God called him to. Whatever God calls us to, He prepares us for. This is what gave Joshua courage. God was fulfilling his promises through Joshua. God would not allow Joshua to fail because He had called him. God will not allow you to fail if you are accomplishing God's purposes. This is why discernment is so important. When we do our own will we can fail.  Each one of us has things we are called to. Similar to Moses and Joshua, we don't know or understand what those things are until it comes, or even later than that. Also similarly, with God's help you can accomplish all that God truely calls you to. Have trust and confidence in the Lord. God will never fail or forsake you.  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials. Summarize what insights you have gained during this meditation and meditate and visualize positive change in your life: This is a listener funded podcast at patreon.com/christianmeditationpodcast Final Question: If you consider the invitation and command to persevere in the faith, what change in your life does that bring to your mind?  FIND ME ON: Download my free app: Recenter with Christ Website - ChristianMeditationPodcast.com Voicemail - (602) 888-3795 Email: jared@christianmeditationpodcast.com Apple Podcasts - Christian Meditation Podcast Facebook.com/christianmeditationpodcast Youtube.com/christianmeditaitonpodcast Twitter - @ChristianMedPod

The Faith of Christians, Churches, and Nations Can Be Tested and Doubts Arise in Today's World; However, God Is Faithful and Will Not Forsake You MESSAGE SUMMARY: God will never leave you or forsake you. Even when difficulties arise and you are tempted to walk away from your faith, God will not leave you. When you are tempted to doubt God, remember that God is faithful. When the Apostles questioned Jesus about faith and prayer, Jesus told the Apostles, in Mathew 21:21-22, that your faith is powerful and that God will respond to your faith: “And Jesus answered them, ‘Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' it will happen. And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.'”. Hold, unswervingly, to the hope and faith you profess because God, who promised us, is faithful. While you are endeavoring to hold onto your faith in God and Jesus' Gospel, you need to always remember the faithfulness of God, even in those times in which you may be doubting or questioning your faith. Do not give up your faith!   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, fill me with the simple trust that even out of the most awful evil around me, you are able to bring great good — for me, for others, and for your great glory. In Jesus' name, amen.     Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 91). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because I am in Jesus Christ, I will seek God's perspective on my situation. For I know that in all things God works together for good to those of us who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

Choosing the Narrow Path in a World of 8 BillionScripture References: Matthew 7:13-14; Galatians 5:13-26; Matthew 24; John 15Sermon Notes:Intro: (Podcast intro music fades) Welcome to today's sermon. We are living in an unprecedented time – the population has exploded from 4 billion to over 8 billion in roughly one lifetime. It took all of human history until 1804 to reach 1 billion, yet we've added 4 billion recently. What is God doing? You have been chosen by God to be alive now, handpicked for the greatest potential harvest in history. He's setting the stage. But how do we partner with Him effectively in this unique moment? Jesus speaks of two paths: one wide and easy, chosen by most, leading to destruction; one narrow and difficult, leading to life (Matt 7:13-14). We're called to this narrow path. This path is vividly described in Galatians 5.Key Points: The Narrow Path (Galatians 5)Marked with Love & Service (v. 13-15): Live a life of constant love and committed service, not just to those like us, but to anyone in need (the Good Samaritan principle). Resist the end-times trend of love growing cold (Matt 24). True joy is found outside self-focus.Yielding to Purpose (v. 16): Yield to the Holy Spirit's power, abandoning self-life cravings. God has an incredible, unique purpose written for your life. Don't just coast; ask Him what it is for this season.Obedience (v. 17-21): Recognize the conflict between self-life (flesh) and the Spirit. Actively avoid sin ("obvious" behaviors listed). Obedience isn't a burden; it's the key to freedom, peace, and clarity.Full of Fruit (v. 22-23): The narrow path produces limitless spiritual fruit (love, joy, peace, patience, etc.) as we stay connected to God (John 15). The world needs to see this authentic fruit, not just gifts.Complete Surrender (v. 24): We who belong to Christ have crucified the self-life. This death to self is central. Surrender control ("dead people don't talk"). It's counter-cultural but leads to true freedom.Embracing God's Rhythms (v. 25): Live by the Spirit and keep in step with the Spirit. Honor His pacing, including rest (Sabbath) and the season you're in. Pursue holistic health.Humility (v. 26): Forsake arrogance, comparison, and jealousy. Value all people, made in God's image. Be quick to honor, bless, and build up, not tear down.Conclusion: The narrow path is challenging, yes, but it's glorious – it's what we were made for. Dissatisfaction often stems from settling for the wide road. A man from Iran's underground church, who met Jesus supernaturally, shared his struggle finding that same Jesus in American Christianity, asking, "I didn't know people like you [living the narrow way] existed." His words are haunting. The 8 billion people on this planet desperately need to know that Christians like you – committed to the narrow path of love, service, purpose, obedience, fruitfulness, surrender, rhythm, and humility – exist.Call to Action: Recognize the significance of this moment in history. Choose today: will you settle for the comfortable, wide-road Christianity, or will you embrace the narrow path where Jesus is? As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Commit to walking the narrow way outlined in Galatians 5. Let's be the people the world needs to see. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI.

Pre-Recorded Upload! This was recorded Monday (2/17/25)We are still in the teaching series: “Your enemies are friends but GOD won't let them win!” One of the most valuable assets in the life of the Believer is GODly wisdom… (Proverbs 4:5-9- Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.) May GOD guide you in your decisions and connections in this New Season! May every blessing GOD give you be sustained by GOD because you use the wisdom required to steward them well.

Pray Prayers of the Word (1) David Eells - 6/3/20 Audio: [ 1, 2 ] (For comments on these prayers please listen to the attached audio) Prayers are prayed in the Bible under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God so we know they are according to His will and are important to us.  Also so that we can know we will receive the answer to them because God is no repecter of persons.  1Jn 5:14  And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us. Mat 21:22  And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Php 4:6  In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Jesus' Example Prayer Mat 6:5-13  And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.  6  But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.  7  And in praying use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.  8  Be not therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.  9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.  10  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.  11  Give us this day our daily bread.  12  And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.  13  And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Pauls Prayer for the Saints at Ephesis Eph 1:13-23  in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,--in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,  14  which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of God's own possession, unto the praise of his glory.  15  For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which ye show toward all the saints,  16  cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;  17  that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;  18  having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,  19  and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might  20  which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,  21  far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:  22  and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,  23  which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. Paul and Timothy's Prayer for the Philippian Christians Php 1:1-11  Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus that are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:  2  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.  3  I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you,  4  always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy,  5  for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel from the first day until now;  6  being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:  7  even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers with me of grace.  8  For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.  9  And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;  10  so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ;  11  being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. Paul and Timothy's prayer for the Colossian Christians Col 1:9-15  For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,  10  to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;  11  strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and longsuffering with joy;  12  giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;  13  who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;  14  in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:  15  who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. Aarons Prayer for the People of God Num 6:22-27  And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,  23  Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel: ye shall say unto them,  24  Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee:  25  Jehovah make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:  26  Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.  27  So shall they put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.     Pray Prayers of the Word (2) David Eells - 6/10/20 (Audio) Mar 11:24  Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Luk 18:1  And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint. Jesus' Prayer for His People Joh 17:1-26  These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee:  2  even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that to all whom thou hast given him, he should give eternal life.  3  And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ.  4  I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do.  5  And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.  6  I manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.  7  Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee:  8  for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received them, and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me.  9  I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine:  10  and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them.  11  And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are.  12  While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.  13  But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.  14  I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.  15  I pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil one.  16  They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.  17  Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.  18  As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world.  19  And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.  20  Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word;  21  that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me.  22  And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one;  23  I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.  24  Father, I desire that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.  25  O righteous Father, the world knew thee not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send me;  26  and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them. Mat 9:38  Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest. Mat 5:44  but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;  Luk 6:28  bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you. Mat 21:13  and he saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers. Mat 21:22  And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Mat 26:41  Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Luk 18:10  Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. Rom 8:26  And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered; 1Co 14:13  Wherefore let him that speaketh in a tongue pray that he may interpret. 14  For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15  What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. 2Co 13:7  Now we pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is honorable, though we be as reprobate. Eph 6:18  with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints, Php 4:6  In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Col 4:2  Continue stedfastly in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving 2Th 1:11  To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfil every desire of goodness and every work of faith, with power. 1Th 5:17  pray without ceasing; 2Th 3:1  Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also it is with you; 1Ti 2:8  I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing. 3Jn 1:2  Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. Jas 5:15  and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.  16  Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working. 1Pe 4:7  But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer: David's Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies Psa 3:1-8  A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.  2  Many there are that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.  3  But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory and the lifter up of my head.  4  I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth me out of his holy hill. Selah.  5  I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.  6  I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about.  7  Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.  8  Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah: Thy blessing be upon thy people. Selah. The Prayer of Jabez for Blessing 1Ch 4:9-10  And Jabez was more honorable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.  10  And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my border, and that thy hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it be not to my sorrow! And God granted him that which he requested. Jonah's Prayer for Deliverance and Salvation Jon 2:2-9  And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah, And he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I, And thou heardest my voice.  3  For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me; All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.  4  And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.  5  The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.  6  I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.  7  When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.  8  They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.  9  But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah. David's Prayer for Purity and Zion Psa 51:10-19  Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me.  11  Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy Spirit from me.  12  Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit.  13  Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto thee.  14  Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.  15  O Lord, open thou my lips; And my mouth shall show forth thy praise.  16  For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.  17  The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.  18  Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.  19  Then wilt thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, In burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering: Then will they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

“My days vanish like the smoke, and my bones burn like glowing embers” (Ps 102:33). Time does not shout; it just runs out quicker than you think. A key to your spiritual life is using the faith-rest drill: claim a promise, reverse your concentration focus on God instead of yourself and your problem, and come to a Biblical conclusion standing on the promises of God. When you focus on the problem, you fail to see God's solution. “Picking up the shield of faith so you can stand against the devil's strategy” (Eph 6:11-16). Learn to trust the justice of God. God will vindicate you. Our battle is with mental attitude sins. “Cease from anger. Forsake wrath. Fret not thyself in any way to do evil” (Ps 37:8). The issue is always God's timing, not yours.
