Prayer is hope that manifests, if you are a true Christ believer. He answers the prayers of His children.

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. ~3 John 1:2 KJV

[6] But godliness with contentment is great gain. [7] For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. [8] And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. [9] But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. [10] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. [11] But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. ~1 Timothy 6:6-11 KJV

We ask that you would teach the saints how to be humble and love one another like a God-fearing family. We ask that those inclined to stay in their comfort zone would be moved into a new place that would help their heart to expand in love or in repentance.

Just like Jesus commanded His disciples, we pray, O Lord that You would keep us from temptation and that if we are tempted, that we would recognize it and flee into the arms of righteousness.

[40] And when He was at the place, He said unto them, “Pray that ye enter not into temptation.” ~Luke 22:40 KJV

Moses gave God’s song to the Israelites to remind them that after he died, they would soon forget God because they were in a good place. We pray, O Lord, that after we have sought the kingdom and Your righteousness and then begin receiving all the blessings that You lavish upon us, we pray that we will not be tempted to return to a sinful nature, like the Israelites were, nor forget You, nor forget to labor to remain in Your holiness, nor forget to fear You because we find ourselves in a good place. We pray to abound in good works and in your grace as our soul abounds. We humbly request all of these things in Jesus’ name. Thank You for Your long-suffering, mercy, and great patience upon us. Thank You for everything You do for us. You are worthy and awesome forevermore. May our lives bless You and be a shining testimony forevermore. Amen ♥
