Praying For God's Creation

Father God we're coming in your presence through Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord.
We thank you for this day our Father. One we've never seen before and will never see again. We're thankful for your mercies on this new day. Your blessings are new each day and your faithfulness is great towards us Lord.
Lord we're praying for the over seven billion people in existence on this earth today. We first and foremost wish to lift up your church to you today. We pray for the hard working members especially who need our prayers, moral, spiritual and most times financial support to carry out your will here among us.
Lord we lift up all clergy knowing that their work is not easy and sometimes some of them get so discouraged and that some even end up walking away from your will or taking their lives.
Lord hear our prayer as we intercede for our brothers and sisters. Lord we pray for laity just as much knowing many fill in at services when other duties call the minister away at such precious moments. Lord hear our prayer please and help where it is needed. Lord encourage, Lord uplift, Lord enlighten, Lord help those of us flowing in the five-fold ministries to be strengthened and to exhort, edify and comfort our fellow brethren as you have been teaching us to do all along.
Father we pray for church and state alike this morning knowing that everyone was created by you for a purpose here on earth. Our Father we lift up every leader of every nation here on this globe Father, and we ask that you strengthen and build up each one. Grant them the wisdom they need to lead their nation in the right direction God.
Grant wisdom to armor bearers of these leaders too Lord. Let every politician in every country around the world whether elected or appointed rise up and take up their responsibilities helping their nations' leaders to steer their countries toward progress and success in the name of Jesus Christ.
Then we pray for all civil servants all over this world. We pray for all security personnel protecting lives and properties and serving decent law abiding citizens of their countries. We pray for all armed forces guarding the borders of their countries all over the world. We pray for all serving in the medical profession and in education too.
Father we want to leave none from the working class or any other of your creation out of this prayer so we pray for the private sector, public sector, those who are not employed at the moment and we ask special blessings upon each section mentioned in Jesus name.
We especially pray for the disabled and the retired today Lord. Let them never be forgotten or be left out from getting the benefits they deserve unintentionally or intentionally, wherever they are in the world Lord God.
Our Father we lift up the sick, the elderly, the shut-in, the homeless, the underprivileged and anyone in any similar class as these that we have not mentioned. Your are perfect and righteous Lord and if there is any we have forgotten to mention we pray you minister to them as well our God. These and all other mercies we ask and say thanks for your answer in Jesus' name, amen!

I AM Who God Says I AM

I am black, I am white, I am yellow, I am red
Regardless, my color doesn't say the type of person I am
What matters is the content of my character
And who I identify with in my spirit life

I am no different from any other person physically
We all have the same organs, tissues, vessels, in our bodies
And we have the same color blood flowing through our veins
So you are my brother, and you are my sister in blood

Our blood types may be different
Our DNA one in a billion
But we all have the same father
He created me this way, I am who God says I am.

So when next you think about someone
If you find yourself questioning his or her reputation
Just remember, He or she was created
By the same person who created you

God made everyone and everything for His purpose
He did not make any junk
He made everyone in His own time and space because everything is His
And he looks on everything after He makes them
And He announces or proclaims, "Everything is made very well!"

In The End

It doesn't matter what is said about you
It doesn't matter what anyone does to you
It doesn't matter who likes or doesn't like you
You just be the best you, that you could ever be

God made you just the way He wanted you to be
He fearfully and wonderfully made you
You may have strayed from the path He had for you
Once you accept Him, like the prodigal son you will be reinstated

He made you in His own image He made you after His own likeness
God ordained you before you were born
He set you apart for His own personal purpose
God made you so special, He sees everything about your life before you were formed

Who on earth can determine your future
Who on earth can make you into someone else
Who on earth can change anything in your life
Nobody on earth can God is in charge of everything in your life

So let nothing negative anyone says about you
Let nothing ill intended anyone tries to do to you
Let no one's attempt to put you down
Be a means of determining who you are or your future

Everyone has faults, failures and shortcomings No one is perfect, flawless or sinless
At the ultimate judgment everyone will have to give an account for their actions
In the end only God who loves you and sees you the way no one else sees you
Can speak truthfully about you and make you aware of your need to be like Him.
