THE KINGDOM OF GOD
More Than EVER Imagined!
Most merciful, Gracious, and Loving Father in Heaven,
We lift up our hearts in praise and adoration of your holy name.
Put within us a new heart, changing our stoney hearts with hearts of flesh,
making us receptive to, and committed to you your will.
Empower us through the Holy Spirit,
to do your work until you have returned.
Keep us faithful to the duties you have for us to perform.
As we pray for the coming of your kingdom,
and seek to live in your Kingdom every day,
Make your Kingdom God, become a reality in our lives day to day,
Help us to keep that desire our highest priority in life.
We ask all of this so that you may have all the praise,
all the honor, and all the glory.
In Jesus Precious name we pray,
Amen

Learning Kingdom Values
Luke 12:29-32
"And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. 30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. 31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
32 "Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
NKJV
Father God,
We want to build, and live in, and grow in YOUR kingdom,
and NOT in our own.
Fill us with your Kingdom values Lord, each and every day.
Father we confess that we let fear control us,
and determine how we spend our time, money, and energy.
We are afraid of trouble, we are afraid of hardship,
we are afraid of persecution.
All of this causes us to be self-protective and to build our own kingdom.
Jesus, help us to have the peace you have promised.
Help us to no longer be afraid, knowing you have overcome the world.
Enable us to step out in faith, not fear.
Empower us with your holy spirit to grow in your kingdom.
May you have all the praise and honor, and all the glory Father.
In Jesus Precious and Holy name we pray
AMEN
