A DAUGHTER'S PRAYER

But I say to you, love your enemies, 

bless those who curse you,

do good to those who hate you,

and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.

Matthew 5 - 44

Peta could not kneel, as she could not rise without help.   Her mobility compromised but she doubted her Father would take that as a lack of respect.

Our Father in heaven hear my prayer as yet another year closes and the door opens on Your Will for us all.

Father I pray for the strength to love my neighbour as myself.   You have blessed me with revelation, give me the grace to be gentle with those who are lost, blind and deaf to Your Word.   Not all illness  is visible.   Many are mentally and emotionally damaged by this sick world or held captive by the devil's cohorts.

Lord you taught us:

John 6.44

"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him and I will raise him up at the last day."

Forgive those bearing Your name who bully and beat sheep who cannot see Your light.   Forgive the zealots and religious hypocrites whose witness damages those who might otherwise have found the salvation that comes from knowing Christ and His sacrifice for all mankind.

The basic tenet that "we love one another" is sadly missing from their narcissistic behaviour as they literally "knock You off the throne" and pass judgement on those whilst having sinned themselves.  

I pray that You will remove the dross from government and raise up a generation of men and women with integrity to rule this nation.          

The eye of great evil is turning its focus on to the vulnerable and elderly.

A Christian Institute article highlights the possible removal of the necessity for a court's authority and the transfer of action to a doctor and relatives regarding the withholding of food and fluid from brain dead patients with a possible extension where those suffering from dementia are concerned.  May the people wake up and stand against what is surely a Nazi mentality.   

Father protect the little ones.   The LGBT lobby intend snatching their innocence.   Education authorities are planning to enforce teaching on children as young as four regarding different relationships.  Government ministers have denied parents their right to withdraw their children from classes.   This is no longer a democracy but a dictatorship.   Satan has his eye on the innocents.   Lord guide christian parents on any decision to move their children out of the state system before its too late and give them the support they will need.   Lord I pray you will remove the men and women behind this agenda.

Father protect the eco warriors.  They may not even know You but they follow Your instructions  and would approve the comment made by Pope Francis "The greatest arrogance of all is the idea that we humans are the pinnacle of creation"

Proverbs 12 - 10
A righteous man regards the life of his animal,
But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

Job 12 - 7-10
But now ask the beasts and they will teach you;
And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
And the fish of the sea will explain to you.

Who among all these does not know
That the hand of the Lord has done this,
In whose hand is the life of every living thing,
And the breath of all mankind.
  

Father - protect the warriors and those in my own family.  They are constantly in dangers from the elite thugs who enjoy watching their innocent prey being ripped apart fulfilling their lust for the chase and the kill.  This has been banned in the U.K. but there are those who consider they are above the Law.

Luke 6-31

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.   That should be interesting if God ever turns the tables and man becomes the hapless mouse.

My last prayer is for Your children scattered around the globe.  Those who remain will endeavour to shine Your light in their little corner of the world.  Those who have paid the price for following You with their blood, may they rest in You.  Their battle is over.

Revelation 6
9 - When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the Word of God and for the testimony which they held.
And they cried with a loud voice, saying "How long O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"

11 - Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

We forgive those who trespass against us.   Isolation is a price we gladly pay for everlasting friendships in Your Kingdom to come.

Psalm 61

From the end of the earth I will cry to you

When my heart is overwhelmed;

lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

For You have been a shelter for me,

A strong tower from the enemy.

I will abide in Your tabernacle forever,

I will trust in the shelter of your wings

SELAH

MAY THE LORD BLESS ANYONE WHO READS THIS NEW YEAR PRAYER. 

ALL THIS WORLD NEEDS IS PEACE

The war mongers should know there will be no winners, only losers.   Western governments continue their prodding and propaganda regarding Russia forgetting the past and those who died in the 2nd World War defeating Nazi Germany.

Those who incite hatred towards their brothers of whatever colour, creed or nationality  should realise that in the end God will act and perhaps only countries who turn in obedience to Your commandments and speak PEACE will survive.
