Fill voids with your loving compassion and tender mercies. Enable all who are grieving with the wisdom to choose you Lord —your way, your truth and life--your way of living I pray in Jesus name.

And Lord what of those who are sitting anxiously by the rubble, or in hospital rooms hoping and diligently waiting and believing for a miracle? Bless them dear Lord with a second wind and a peace that surpasses all understanding.

Stir a fire in all who believe to dust off their mantles, obey your leading and show up at the right places and the right times bursting with your every attribute so all will know that Christ in us really is the hope of glory in Jesus name Amen.

Rescue the perishing. Forgive us. Turn stony hearts into hearts of flesh. Help us to forgive like you do. Let the words of our mouthes and the meditations of our hearts be pleasing in your sight.
Heal and deliver us from any old wounds and help us to choose following you, your will and your way in all we think do and say.
Let the banner over us be love and let every fruit of your Spirit abound in our lives in every generation in Jesus name Amen]]><![CDATA[Praying Without Ceasing]]>Fri, 24 Apr 2026 01:19:04 GMThttps://www.bencouraged.net/blog/praying-without-ceasingLord, I pray right now that you would mute and shut down any demonic inspired thoughts globally in the name of Jesus. You can change the hearts of kings like you turn the course of the waters. Please change the hearts of all who are feeling worthless and lack trust in you and your plan for their lives.

Cancel every destructive impulse, feeling or thought and replace them with acceptance of your complete love for all of us. Stir a fire for belief in Jesus that cannot be extinguished.

Outpour your love so generously on the worst of these in the darkest of places that they can’t help but look up and back away from any act in person or cyber that might kill, steal or destroy themselves or anyone else in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, thank you for placing a hedge of protection around every public gathering place and every secret hiding spot where mischief, greed-inspired mayhem and apathy runs rampant in your precious name I pray Amen.

Lord, thank you for yet another day to dwell in your secret place and to abide under your shadow. Thank you for the protection and provision that comes with our abiding according to Psalm 91.
Help me Lord and all who are called by your name to humble ourselves, pray, seek your face and turn from our wicked ways.
Help us to reject and delete every distraction that keeps us from focusing on you.
Free us from leaning to our own understanding and hear this prayer, forgive our sins and heal this land.
Let our freedom bow to your perfect will and
 ring more gloriously than ever before and let us never forget
that our help comes exclusively from you
 in Jesus name I pray Amen]]><![CDATA[A Pattern for our work as a church:                                                     Be the relief we want to see]]>Mon, 03 Feb 2025 21:36:14 GMThttps://www.bencouraged.net/blog/a-pattern-for-our-work-as-a-church-be-the-relief-we-want-to-see
