Luke 10:38-42 New King James Version

38 Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house.
     Holy Spirit, help us, like Martha, welcome you into our home.

39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word.
     Holy Spirit, please help us in to be like Mary and listen to what Jesus is saying to us.

40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”
     Lord, we too get distracted with much serving; please help us repent of that.

41 And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
     Jesus, help us ignore the chores and listen to you.

Isaiah 43:1-3 New King James Version

1 But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name;
You are Mine.
     Thank you, Jesus, that we belong to you.

2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
     Father, no matter what trials come our way, you will cary us through.

3 For I am the Lord your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I gave Egypt for your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
     Holy Spirit, help us acknowledge God's Lordship over us in every thing we do.

Luke 9:1-2 New King James Version

1 Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

Luke 8:22-24 New King James Version
22 Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out. 23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy. 24 And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm.
     Jesus there is a great tempest in which your church is in peril. Please calm this storm of unbelief.

Luke 8:25 New King James Version
25 But He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, “Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”
     Lord, where is the faith that once marked the Diocese of Albany? It is hidden away in a storm of political correctness.

Luke 7:11-15 New King James Version
11 Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd. 12 And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” 14 Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” 15 So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.
     Jesus, I pray for your healing touch on the dying. Help us all die in the hope of the resurrection. Thank You.

Matthew 5:22 New King James Version
22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire.
     Jesus, there is so much unwarranted anger in many families. Help us repent of speaking evil of other members of our families.

20 You sit and speak against your brother;
You slander your own mother’s son.

Mark 7:24-30 New King James Version
24 From there He arose and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be hidden. 25 For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and fell at His feet. 26 The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” 28 And she answered and said to Him, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children’s crumbs.” 29 Then He said to her, “For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter.” 30 And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
     Jesus, please give me every crumb that falls from your table.

Psalm 142:5-7 New King James Version

5 I cried out to You, O Lord:
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.

6 Attend to my cry,
For I am brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are stronger than I.
     Jesus, please deliver us from those who praise falsehood.

7 Bring my soul out of prison,
That I may praise Your name;
The righteous shall surround me,
For You shall deal bountifully with me.”
     Holy Father, deliver our souls from the prison of lies and deceit.
