Let those who love Your name be joyful in You (Psalm 5:11 NIV)

"O Lord, keep me ever mindful of my natural state, but let me not forget my heavenly title, or the grace that deals with every sin... Give me a broken heart that yet carries home the water of grace."

"Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin" (Psalm 51:1-2)

Make me a happy, joyful person. Teach me to laud, adore and magnify Thee with the music of heaven, and make me a perfume of praiseful gratitude to Thee."

"Make me a happy, holy person. Teach me to laud, adore and magnify Thee with the music of heaven, and make me a person of praiseful gratitude to Thee."

O Holy Spirit, come as power, to expel every rebel lust, to reign supreme and keep me Thine; Come as teacher, leading me into all truth, filling me with all understanding; Come as love, that I may adore the Father, and love Him as my all; Come as joy, to dwell in me, move in me, animate me; Come as light, illuminating the Scripture, molding me in its laws; Come as sanctifier, body, soul and spirit wholly Thine. Come as helper, with strength to keep, directing my every step. Come as beautifier, bringing order out of confusion, loveliness out of chaos. Magnify to me Thy glory by being magnified in me.
I Launch my Boat

I launch my boat on the unknown waters of this year, with Thee, O Father, as my harbor, Thee, O Son, at my helm, Thee, O Holy Spirit, filling my sails.

Give me Thy grace to sanctify me, Thy comforts to cheer, Thy wisdom to teach, Thy right hand to guide, Thy counsel to instruct, Thy law to judge, Thy presence to stabilize.

May Thy fear be my awe, Thy triumphs my joy.



"May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." 2 Corinthians 13:14

Sovereign God, O do thou bring in great numbers to Jesus! Let me see that glorious day, and give me to grasp for multitudes of souls. Let me be willing to die to that end. and while I live let me labor for Thee to the utmost of my strength, spending time profitably in this work, both in health and in weakness. It is thy cause and kingdom I long for, not my own. O, answer thou my request!

"May Your ways be known throughout the earth, Your saving power among people everywhere. May the nations praise You, O God. Yes, may all the nations praise You. (Psalm 67:2-3)
Praying Scripture (one)
by Janie Buck
Date: 02.17.2011
Father in heaven, grant that I will rest in the liberty of my righteous position given through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for freedom from the penalty of sin and delivering me from evil. Praise and thanks for the cleansing blood of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit who enables me to "walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lust of the flesh."

Open my eyes to my pure and perfect standing before Your throne that You that have given to me. Thank you for delivering me from the penalty of my sins. Thanks and praise that I stand before you complete in the robe of the righteous given through faith in the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

"Worthy is the Lamb to receive power and glory, honor and blessing."

"Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me bless His holy Name. He has done great things for me and holy is His name."

Praise that I am complete in Jesus and there is nothing left against me that He would even say, "You knew better than that. Why did you do it?"

"There is now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ has made me free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1-2)
Praying Scripture (two)

Father, grant that I will rest in the liberty of the righteous position you have given me through faith in my precious Lord Jesus Christ. This is freedom from condemnation of my sin, and freedom from the accusations of Satan, and freedom from the self-life. Praise and thanks! Open my eyes even more to the pure and perfect cleansing blood of our dear Savior Jesus Christ. I know you have delivered me from all my sins and Satan's control, I stand before you complete and perfect in the righteous robe You have given me through faith in the precious blood of the Lamb.

I sing, "Worthy is the Lamb to receive power and glory and blessing." And I am complete in Him.

Holy Spirit, set me free from the down drag of not accomplishing what I want to do and wasting my time. Free me from the down drag of the sin principle that holds me from true freedom in Christ my Lord.

I rest i you, Lord Jesus, for for our Father has placed me in You. And my conscience is clear for I am washed in the Blood of the Lamb of God, because You once entered into the holy place in heaven, having obtained eternal redemption for us (me).
