Father in Heaven,

As I pray today
in the name of Jesus Christ✝️
👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way
may You✝️ continue
to build in 👍🏾us⚖️
a strong faith
absent the wisdom of men,
without excellency of speech,
Nor appearance.
In such Lord✝️ is what caused
the pause in Paul
counting but dung
the identity of his pedigree.
The same man who understood
intimately the phrase,
no need for applause,
all the while understanding
that power of Christ✝️
from an Almighty God✝️
which rest upon him.

This Lord✝️ is to be
👍🏾our⚖️ understanding of character
That peculiar quality,
impressed by nature or habit
among us, which distinguish
👍🏾us⚖️ from others.
Passed down from fathers.
Instilled by mothers.

God✝️ I pray that this character
we portray can indeed become
our testament of strong faith
something taught to 👍🏾us⚖️
that doesn’t bend,
won’t break.
Yet take the Living Word
among 👍🏾us⚖️ and live it
amongst those livid,
who’ve yet to understand
that the Character of Jesus ✝️
on earth was persecuted;
absent their realization
that the poor in spirit,
gain the kingdom of heaven,
and are comforted with those
those that mourn with meekness
among those who’ll inherit earth.

God✝️ this lack of truth
is their devastation realized.
As of yet they have no Revelation!

So as your children
within each generation
called by Your✝️ name,
we pray for the day that
they finally hunger and thirst
after righteousness.
We pray for their mercy
to the end that stony hearts
see You✝️ fully
until the same heart
Is turned to flesh.
We pray they are made
peacemakers as You✝️ enter in,
so the lost and sinner alike
no longer crucify You✝️ afresh.

God✝️ this – is – our tough gospel
I am asking You
to perform in 👍🏾us⚖️
to work though us,
To fully establish 👍🏾our⚖️ strength
and fortify 👍🏾our⚖️ trust
with all 👍🏾our⚖️ heart
so we don’t lean to 👍🏾our⚖️
Understanding,
so despite an environment
that gets demanding
We’ll be ever reminded
That “your ✝️ son”
lives on the inside
fellowshipping among 👍🏾us⚖️.
So as we continue
to acknowledge You✝️
in all 👍🏾our⚖️ ways this evening
You✝️ can direct 👍🏾our⚖️ paths
in spite of circumstances
that may be deceiving.
As well, through this prayer
may ⚖️ find comfort in knowing
my hope, as a desire to stay
with no plans on leaving.

This takes Strong Faith
among 👍🏾us⚖️ Lord✝️
may You✝️
teach and preach thus.
In the name of 👍🏾us⚖️ Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ✝️
👍🏾we⚖️ pray and give thanks.

Amen.
