Something you can't forget about
My prayers inspired by the New Testament books of the bible.
Ephesians 6
1 Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do. 2 “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise: 3 If you honor your father and mother, “things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.”
Father, give my children parents they can love …
Ephesians 5
1 Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. 2 Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.
Father, it sounds so simple: imitate You in everything I do. And as I read Your Word I know better and better …
Ephesians 4
1 Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.
Holy Spirit, this seems so impossible. I am such a sinner. I don’t know what my calling is, and I’m not sure I want to know. Don’t be too kind Lord. It is time to kick me into …
Ephesians 3
1 When I think of all this, I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus for the benefit of you Gentiles . . . 2 assuming, by the way, that you know God gave me the special responsibility of extending his grace to you Gentiles. 3 As I briefly wrote earlier, God himself revealed his mysterious plan to me. 4 As you read what I …

Ephesians 1
1 This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus.
Jesus, why choose me Lord? I know You didn’t choose me as an apostle, but why choose me at all? I should be so lost right now. What is going on? Why did You choose Paul? I know You can choose whomever You wish. Help me …
Matthew 28
1 Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb.
Jesus, where were You disciples? They were hiding and afraid. Out of great love for You these women were willing to risk confronting the guards and the stone and the grave. They loved You enough to risk their lives to care for Your …
Matthew 27
1 Very early in the morning the leading priests and the elders met again to lay plans for putting Jesus to death. 2 Then they bound him, led him away, and took him to Pilate, the Roman governor. 3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, realized that Jesus had been condemned to die, he was filled with remorse. So he took the thirty pieces of …

Matthew 25
“Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 The five who were foolish didn’t take enough olive oil for their lamps, 4 but the other five were wise enough to take along extra oil. 5 When the bridegroom was delayed, …
