Father, <BR>The evil one is against this prayer this night. Lord let Your love reign in these words. Father forgive us of our sins. Lord let us come before You and bow our heads and confess our sins and lay them on the alter for Jesus to wash and urify through His blood. Father let us praise You and worship You for this great gift. Lord let our hearts be focused purely on You with pure motivation. Let us hear Your voice saying, "This is the Way, walk in it."<P>Lord cleanse our hearts and minds, renew a steadfast spirit within us. Let us choose to get up each morning and ask You into our lives. Let us choose to keep our hearts and minds focused on You and Your love for us. Let us choose not to be swayed by our circumstances this week because our hearts are so stayed on You. Lord let our hearts be undivided. Lord help our unbelief.<P>Let us pray for our loved ones. Let us lift them into Your hands and leave them there. Let us seek You with all our hearts while we wait for You to bring our loved ones to You. Lord for all those husbands that do nor yet know You, Lord we ask You to grant them life in Jesus this night.<P>Lord I lift up to you all the hurting spouses here. Lord, they have been betrayed by those You sent to protect them. Lord they have been abandoned and neglected. But Father, we know that You never leave us, abandon us or neglect us. Lord let each woman here feel Your love moving through them in a powerful way this week. Lord let them see You and Your character in a new light this week. <P>Father we lift up our spouses to You. We know that they are in no better hands then Yours. We know that You love them even more than we do. Lord help us to keep them in Your hands and not take them back. Father heal them of their wounds. Give them a new understanding of Yourself in such a way that they can not fail to recognize You and therefore fail not to accept You and Jesus into their hearts. Lord reunite them with their families. Let no evil thing work in their hearts.<P>We bind all infidelity, the lure and effect of all other women on our h's, their pride, their selffishness, their wrong attitudes, bind their hardenend hearts and their anger. Lord bind the lies and deceptions and all thoughts and acts of separation and divorce.<P>Lord, we loose the mind of Christ to take every thought captive in obedience to Christ in our h's. We loose the truth and the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ in our h's. We loose and seal our husbands by the blood of Christ, Lord we stand in the gap for them praying that You work Your mighty will in them. Bring Christian men to come and give them insight into You, O Lord.<P>Father I lift up each wife and I pray that her mind and heart are stayed on You. Lord, let her seek You with all her heart and soul for the simple desire to spend time with You alone. Lord let our hearts and minds demonstrate pure motives. Lord let us love those that have hurt us because You love us and forgive us. Let the love we show our h's come directly from You for we are unable to love them as we ought.<P>Lord let us determine to surrender ourselves wholly to You and let us trust You for the results. Lord let us come along side each other to offer encouragement and support this week. <P>Lord be in all rooms with those husbands and wives that seek counseling. We know that only Your power is enought to chnage us and our husbands hearts. Lord turn our h's hearts away from the other women and other idols and back on the Lords of their lives andd then their wives and families. Lord et a desire to know You and to read the scripture, the Gospel be so present in our h's and our own lives that we cannot resist and we are compelled to meditate upon Your word.<P>O Father, so touch all our hearts this week. Let the Love that Jesus showed us all on the cross come over us and overwhelm us this week. Lord let the power of the knowledge of the saving grace that You give us as gifts so overtake our souls. Lord let our hearts and our lives sing praises to Your name. Lord when others see us let them see Jesus in us, even when they do not even know Jesus. Lord let them see something that draws them in and causes them to ask, where does your peace, your joy come from. Let us answer from the well spring of life through the blood of Jesus that saved us and continues to change us and love us.<P>Father we need You this day. Let the first thoughts of the day be of Your great love and the expectation of wondering what you will show us this day, bring joy to our hearts. Let us praise You in the evening before we sleep, for the many wonders You have shown each of us. <P>"Lord, with all our hearts let us call out to You each day. Lord let us praise You with singing lips each day. Let our tongues be instruments of praise, building up and support for those around us. Let us look and see where You are working and let us hasten to that place. <P>In Jesus name we come before You, this day and say Thank You. Let You only be the delight of our hearts in this coming week. In Jesus name, Amen.<p>[This message has been edited by hw (edited November 07, 2000).]
