Praying for the restoration of nations and for those in need ~ 18 Jun 2010 Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Father, we pray for all nations going through war and persecution. We pray for Your power to reign and rule. We bind the works of the enemy right now. We render him powerless by the blood of Jesus. Lord Jesus we pray that nations would stand firm upon Your laws which have stood firm through the ages. We pray for men and women of righteousness to be used and raised up for such a time as this. Father, restoration will not take place if we do things our way and out of human ability. Restoration can only take place through the work of our Lord. Today, we pray for nations to bow their knees in complete surrender to You. The enemy is living, at work, and will do everything in his power to confuse us, steal, kill, and destroy. But our Father is here! His blood will change this world. In Jesus Name we pray, amen.

Father, we pray right now that our hearts would be driven towards making a difference in the lives of those who are poor and in need. I am reminded today of the Old Testament. You reminded us not to be selfish to leave enough food for the poor in our fields. Leviticus 19:9 When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the Lord your God. Father I pray we would desire hearts of compassion for the poor, in need, and those who are critically ill. In the name of Jesus, we pray that we would begin to hear Your voice. Hear Your cries. Father, we pray that we would be used by You. In Jesus name we pray, amen.

Words of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 17 Jun 2010

Come follow me-He leads us to our destiny Psalm 103:14-16 For He knows how we are formed, He remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. When our Father calls us to follow Him, He is leading us to our destiny. He is telling us what we are supposed to do. He is challenging us to live lives obedient to Him. I pray we would be constantly reminded that our Father does not need us to fulfil His will. The Lord our God wants to remind us, as much as He loves us-it does not give us the right to be self-centred. If we will not obey Him, He will use someone else. Our destiny is ours and ours alone. However, if we cannot allow God to lead us then we are throwing away everything God created. God formed us. He spent time creating us, the way we are, and everything inside us. I wonder how many of God creations have thrown everything away by simply being disobedient. We are His vessels. Our Father loves us and wants to use us; however, if we choose not to follow Him, there are many who can fill in the gaps. � 2010 Lee Shaun Tzen. www.everynation.org.sg

Come follow me-into the wilderness Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would alter receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. Often our Lord Jesus Christ calls us to follow Him into the wilderness. The wilderness is a place many of us do not want to go because we know what we are going to expect. It is going to be hard, trying, and suffering is but assured. The unknown and the uncertain. Only our Lord knows our future. To be able to trust in the Lord is to surrender everything and walk in obedience. It is very clear when we are disobedient to God. Our heart starts to ache. Our minds are not clear. Our soul is constantly reminding us to go back to the Lord for guidance. I believe our Lord calls us to the wilderness for a reason. It is a sign of obedience and complete surrender to Him. Do we really love our Lord with all our hearts? Are we really obedient to Him or not? We cannot hesitate when our Lord calls us to follow Him. We may be at our most comfortable state when our Lord calls us. Would we choose comfort over obedience to our Lord? � 2010 Lee Shaun Tzen. www.everynation.org.sg

Prayers for the youth and marriages ~ 12 Jun 2010 1 Corinthians 12:26 If one suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it.

We pray that our children would stop comparing themselves and recognise they have been made in your image. Father there are so many distractions right now in this generation. We pray we would be able to avoid these distractions by turning to the Word of God and drawing close to You everyday. We pray that our children would grow more and moer intimate with You. By Your grace and love, we pray it would flood the hearts of our children. Set their hearts on fire for what fuels Your passion O Lord. In Jesus name we pray, amen.

Guide every marraige today O Lord. Guide them through every season. Through the storms, the dry seasons, the joys and the highs. Through every season may we remain steadfast, steady, and firm. Father we pray for those who have been wavering. Those marriages who have been beaten up by the storms of life. We pray for Your healing hands to bring restoration right now in Jesus name.

Come follow me-all have fallen short The Lord our God is reminding us to follow in His foot steps today. Just as He has shown us and given us grace, so must we towards others. Romans 3:22-24 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. All of us have fallen short when it comes to sin. All of us do not deserve eternal life nor His love. Yet, everyday our Lord gives us grace. I pray we would not take our Lord Jesus Christ for granted. I pray we would learn to show and give grace towards others. Towards our family, towards those our Lord has called us to build with, and especially towards those we do not get along with. Are we rigid in our ways? This is a vital question which we must answer. Grace is the ability to be unselfish and constantly aware of our feelings and emotions so we would not be selfish in our ways. Today, have we been lacking in grace? It is time we come and follow our Lord Jesus Christ. � 2010 Lee Shaun Tzen. www.everynation.org.sg

Father, we pray our children would recognise that they have been blessed and anointed by You with gifts and talents.
