Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, acknowledging Your greatness and magnificence. We declare, as it is written in Exodus 3:14, that You are the great "I AM WHO I AM." We love You, Lord, and we exalt Your holy name.
Lord God, we ask for Your love and protection over us. As it says in Psalm 91:4, "He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler." Father, may Your divine protection surround us always.
Teach us how to love, Father, as You have commanded us. In 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, it is written, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." Help us to embody this love in our daily lives.
Father God, we pray for the enlargement of our coasts and territories, as Jabez prayed in 1 Chronicles 4:10, "Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!" Bless us with Your favor and fill us with Your Holy Spirit, guiding us in all truth and righteousness.
Open the windows of heaven, Lord, and pour out blessings that we cannot imagine or contain, according to Your will, as promised in Malachi 3:10, "Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this," says the Lord of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it."
Father God, forgive us for our sins, as it is written in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." We thank You, Father, for Your mercy and grace.
We lift up this prayer in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen and Amen!
