Lord God of Wisdom, I pray in the name of Jesus that ______________________ and I will be kind and that we ourselves will benefit from our kindness. May you delight in us because our way is blameless and we are truthful. When we seek good may we find goodwill in return, and obtain favor from you. May our root flourish so that we will thrive like the green leaf and never be uprooted. May our house stand firm. I pray that you will move in our heart that we may give freely; bless us so that we gain even more. I claim your promise for us that the generous man will prosper, and that he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. May our righteousness extend even to the care of our animals. May our plans be just and our speech upright. Fill us with good things from the fruit of our lips. I pray that we will never be trapped by our own sinful talk, and never speak reckless words that pierce like a sword. Instead may our tongue be wise and bring healing to others. May we offer kind words that cheer up a man whose anxious heart is weighing him down. May we be praised according to our wisdom. Grant us great self-restraint, that we may not be fools who show our annoyance at once. Instead, may we each be prudent and able to overlook an insult. May we know when to keep our knowledge to ourselves. May we be cautious in friendship that we may not be led astray. I pray that we will know the joy that comes from promoting peace. May each married woman among us be a woman of noble character and her husband's crown. May the hands of each man be diligent so that he may rule. I ask that we may have abundant food, and prize and enjoy our possessions. Amen.

"There is no better way to pray according to the will of God than by praying his own word back to him. These daily prayers are crafted, as much as possible, to incorporate the very words of the Scripture."

Welcome
Never before in the history of our country has America faced a moral crisis like the one before us today. The foundations of our government are crumbling right before our eyes. Our churches are abandoning God, our families are in shambles. There is only one hope for restoration - the Lord Jesus Christ.
