“27 Seconds” and a Relationship
My current variation of this prayer each morning has expanded a bit in certain parts to express to our Father God the truths I am seeing and experiencing from the Bible. This is an expanded amplified version of the prayer Jesus taught His disciples (Matthew 6).
Good morning, My Father God who lives in heaven, Holy is Your name. Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, early in the morning, and through the day and into the night, my songs and prayers and praise shall rise to you. Holy, holy, holy, You are merciful and mighty in judgment, and mighty in deliverance to those who call upon You for your salvation and your help. You are God in three persons, blessed Trinity.
I pray that Your kingdom will come to this world just as you have promised.
What a glorious time of history that will be when Your Son the Lord Jesus Christ comes to His long-promised throne of David in the city of Jerusalem and begins to rule and reign over all of the nations in righteousness and peace for 1000 years.
What a change of administration that will cause in each of the nations around the globe as the world watches and learns that Jesus Christ is indeed King over all kings and Lord over all lords as You, Father God gather all the nations of the world into battle array against Israel and Jerusalem, in their intent to wipe it out of existence, because of their hate for your chosen people and their hate and rejection of You as God, all right on Your schedule of the Battle of Armageddon and your promised terrible judgment of the nations. It is then, the world will see the return of Jesus Christ for his pre-announced Second Coming, this time returning as the Lion of Judah, when the world will see Jesus Christ, the Messiah easily and quickly defeat and destroy all the military forces of all the nations, in just a few hours, before taking His seat in Jerusalem to rule and reign as King over all the nations for 1,000 years. The world will then participate in beating the no longer needed swords and equipment of war into plow shears and agricultural harvesting equipment.
Father God, we can hardly wait to see this all develop and take place before our very own eyes! Until you do come, I am glad to declare you are my King today, ready to change my decisions and adjust my schedule to come into full alignment with your purposes in my life and your purposes for my part of the world today.
I pray that Your will would be done on earth today in the same way Your will is being done now in heaven.
I pray that Your will be done billions of times today, all around the world, by the exercise of Your great power, by the continuing work of Your Holy Spirit who is convicting the world of 8 billion people of sin, of righteousness, and of Judgment to come, and by Your special work through the glad and willing and courageous service of tens of millions of Your children You have called Your “friends.” Help me to see and do Your will today.
I ask today for Your provision of my daily food, thanking you for Your faithfulness day after day, year after year in providing for my basic needs. I thank You for the health You have given me, and for Your healing touch. I am most grateful for the spiritual food you have provided and ask for Your Holy Spirit to bring to mind Your truths, Your laws and commandments; the grace You have provided which is the life and righteousness of Jesus Christ experienced in person; Your great and precious promises and Your provisions for each one; and Your judgments and testimonies through the Scriptures and through the ages, everything I need for encouragement and for instruction today.
I thank you most of all for Your salvation so rich and free, which you offer continuously to every person in the world to believe and receive it as their very own gift of Your love for them. Your salvation, which is Your forgiveness of sin and your promise of everlasting life, your promise to raise Your children from the grave to live with you forever. You have made this available by Your arrangement for the only acceptable payment of the eternal death penalty for sin, which death penalty we all owed but which we could not pay, which you paid in full for all the sins of the world, by the suffering and death of Jesus Christ on the cross, who died in my place. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I thank You for making your gift of salvation available to me and to every person in the world who would believe and receive this gift as the ultimate gift of life and love from You.
Father, forgive me of my new and recent sins as I forgive those who have sinned against me, who have sinned against You and against your church, being prepared to forgive them by the same mercy and the same grace You offered to me, as any would come to acknowledge their sins and ask me for my forgiveness. Thank you for preparing my heart and mind for those opportunities.
For those who have sinned and are continuing to sin against me, who will not acknowledge their sins, help me today to pardon them, releasing them from my court of being judge/jury/executioner, forwarding their case to Your Court of judgment, for Your promised revenge, Your reproofs, the disciplines and even the calamities You would use to even yet, while they are still alive, bring them to turn to You for their redemption. Free me to pity their lost condition, to pray for their salvation and their being made new and whole. Teach me to learn how to actually love my enemies.
Thanks so much for not leading us into temptation, but rather You are faithful to not allow us to be tempted beyond what we are able, but with each temptation from the world, each temptation from the Devil, and the temptations of my own flesh, You always provide a way of escape, 10, 20, 30 times a day, so that I can endure and live victoriously in this diabolical world system.
I pray today for your protection from evil and from the Evil One and from all of those who are associated with doing evil. I am most grateful.
Thank you, Father God, for teaching us to come to You with our needs and requests with confidence and with expectation of receiving Your help, your protection, your deliverance and your wisdom, because you are my Father God, and Yours is the Kingdom, and Yours is all the power and all the glory forever and ever.
Thank you for hearing my prayer today.
I think of this prayer as my 60-second, or my ten-minute prayer to God. You can do the same. Customize your prayers to God to reflect your current situation and needs. This prayer becomes more personal as you include into your prayer the particular promises of God which you want to thank Him for.
