Reaching Out to The World
Father, continue your work in our hearts to motivate us to share the truth about who you are and what you have done for the world. The gift of your salvation is so profound, that we should hardly be able to contain ourselves. And yet, we let so many opportunities pass us by. We know that we should not feel condemned about such things, but at the same time, we want to have a more active role in expanding your kingdom and helping lead our brothers and sisters to an eternity with you.We're all at different places in our walk with you, Jesus, so help us each to listen to you and to know what's next in our relationship with you. Continue to soften our hearts and make us sensitive in our spirits. We love you, Jesus.

Asking Without Hesitation
Lord, we come to you unabashedly asking for your help. We don't want to be proud or stubborn, asking only when situations are dire. No, Father, we come to you in all circumstances. We humble ourselves before you as people in need of a shepherd, a master, and a healer.Heal Crito of his panic attacks and phobia. The mind is one of your most amazing creations. It's depths seem limitless and yet it seems so fragile at times. You are Lord over physical and mental illness. Please, heal Crito.

The Verse of the Day at Given Life

Thank You for Your Creation
Father, thank you for your creation. Your people are such beautiful creations. Fill us with love for each and every one of your creations; even people that could be considered our enemies. Remind us of the life and death situation that the unsaved are in every day, and show us what we can do to share your love and truth with them. We want to witness out of love, not some notion of duty or obligation. Thank you for dying for us, Jesus.

Our Father, Our Savior, Our Guiding Spirit
God, we are so thankful for your three-person character. Teach us more about each facet of your almighty being. We are so in love with you, but we want to be drawn deeper; made more into your likeness.

We are forever changed.Please join Given Life in praying for:

Free Us From Our Pride
Jesus, free us from our pride. We were lost and worthless without you and your love, but we so easily forget that. We let our ears be filled with the whispers from the devil and the shouts of society that say, "You deserve it all. Look out for number one!"We call out to you this morning, Jesus. You are number one and there is no other. Free us from the lies of our flesh. Consume us with your refiner's fire. Make us more like you. We don't want to be prideful. We want to be an image of who you are.
Please join Given Life in praying for:

Prayer for Peacemakers

Help us to let go of our own anger and vengeful spirits, and help us to know when it is appropriate to minister peace to people around us in your name. Lord, we don't want to be nosy or bossy. We want our words and timing to be yours and yours alone. Holy Spirit, guide us.Please join Given Life in praying for:

Happy, But Not Content
We're so happy to be in relationship with you, Jesus, but as long as we live on this Earth, we'll never be content with where we're at. We will always want more of you. We will always want to live with more purity- that is, if we're in a right relationship with you. Holy Spirit, help us to continue to grow as your children. Don't make it easy for us to turn away from you. Keep us close to you. Thank you, Jesus.Please join Given Life in praying for:
Integrity for yourself. Pray that the Lord would put more integrity into your character. Ask Him for the strength and courage to not go along with the crowd when they're doing things that you know that would grieve God. These often aren't what the world would consider acts of any great evil. Things like gossip and media piracy aren't a big deal for most people in society, but they can hurt our witness and create small fissures in our walk with Christ. We need God's help to stay pure. Go to God today in fear and trembling because without clinging to Him, we're all in big trouble. We can't stay out of sin on our own. Trying to go it on our own creates spiritual death from legalism. We need His grace and mercy. He is faithful to give it to those who come to Him asking in earnest.
