Your Kingdom is here! Your Kingdom is Coming! You are the GREAT I AM!

Open up the eyes of our hearts L-RD that we may draw closer to you and walk in your ways. Make us understand that who you are is defined in your name, and the way you relate to your people and the world. Build upon the foundation of our hearts that are anchored in the cornerstone of Messiah Yeshua according to your Word. Help us to know and serve you with humble hearts. May the fruit of your Spirit who abides within us as a down payment on our spirits, work through us for your glory. We are your children, your servants.

Remind us, ABBA, that our lives are without purpose, if we are bent on following ourselves instead of you. We were created to worship YOU and YOU alone. Therefore, our dearest ABBA demolish any and all idols erected in our hearts. Destroy all ungodly motives and purify our desires so that our living pleases you. Messiah is our Savior!

In this earthly tent as you know, better than we do, the struggle is real. But, you said we have overcome by the blood of the Lamb. Help us to walk in this truth. And, though there are many days we feel defeated, shameful, vile and worthless, we trust in your love because you are our only saving Hope.

This day ABBA gives us your daily bread, not just food for the body, but nourishment for our souls. Let us see and hear from you daily and be comforted and energized by your presence. Help us forgive all those who have hurt us, and help us forgive ourselves for all those we have hurt including ourselves. We know like King David, it is our crimes both explicitly and implicitly that have displeased you. Thank you for your forgiveness Oh Holy One.

Thank you ABBA that we are no longer  “dead men walking” but alive in Messiah because of your profound love and grace for those of us who kneel before you covered in the blood of Yeshua. Help us to live as we believe we are in You. Help us to embrace Your power to be salt and light in the earth. Help us to fully accept your molding of our character into your image and walk in obedience. We suffer ABBA because we are separated from you in these earthly tents. We suffer ABBA, because we choose all sorts of things over you. We confess and ask for forgiveness. Obedience is better than sacrifice.

Our hearts cry out to you and long to please you. We long to be with you and away from the entrapments of this world. Come L-RD, Yeshua. We fail daily and like Paul that which we should do… we don’t, and that which we shouldn’t do…that we do. (Romans 7:19-25) But, because of Yeshua, we can partake in salvation now and in the world to come. Praise Your Holy Name.

Thank you ABBA for loving us. (John 3:16-18) Thank you for your provisions and for your protection, your patience in wanting all to be redeemed. Thank you for the sealing of Your Spirit for those of us who accept the mercy, grace and works of Yeshua as our Redeemer. Thank you for the bloody price for our sin-debt though we do not deserve it. Thank you for our blessings. Thank you for our suffering because it draws us closer to you.Thank you for long-suffering as we wait for the return of Yeshua. Like Paul declared concerning the Messianic Community of the Thessalonians,  (I Thess 1:2-3): help our trust to produce action, our love – hard work and our hope – perseverance for we are the holy people of the L-RD.

You are the One True G-D and there is none in all the Universe greater than you! Help us to daily walk in this truth! Let others see your authenticity and love in us, so they may be drawn to you. Give us the strength to endure until the end!

We love you ABBA…I love you, ABBA!
