GRACE: God has poured out on you the Spirit of grace and prayer - Zechariah 12:10

"Then I will pour out the Spirit of grace and prayer on the family of David and on the people of Jerusalem. They will look on Me, whom they have pierced, and mourn for Him as for an only son. They will grieve bitterly for Him as for a firstborn son who has died. Zechariah 12:10

Prayer & Praise:
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! Loving Father, as I look at my Lord Jesus Christ, my heart overflows with worship and praise. You allowed Him to be hated, rejected, mocked, tortured, pierced, punished, and sacrificed on the cross for our sins and transgressions. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving me from eternal condemnation and for showing me God's unmerited favor, as You did for the criminal hanged next to You at Calvary. Pour into me, Holy Spirit, the spirit of grace and unceasing prayer for family members, friends, and people who feel unworthy of God's undeserved favor and grieve without hope. Help me be a compassionate and humble ambassador of Christ's amazing grace so they may accept and confess our Wonderful Savior as their LORD. I pray for their salvation in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:8-9
• "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23

SAFE: You will pass safely through the sea of distress - Zechariah 10:11

They will pass safely through the sea of distress, for the waves of the sea will be held back, and the waters of the Nile will dry up.

Prayer and Praise:
I run to You, Lord Jesus, my Strong Tower, Refuge, and King who rules over the sea of distress that seeks to trouble my soul.

Prayer & Praise:
I trust in Your infallible promises, Lord God, which give me the strength to not give up by pressing ahead in times of weakness. I ask You to please strengthen my family as You promised to strengthen Judah's family. Please help my family win the battle against the forces of disbelief and the devil's deception, just as You promised to help Joseph's family. Lord Jesus, thank You for being my strength, security, and comfort in a world that desperately needs You. Please use me, Holy Spirit, to strengthen someone today who is weak and wounded by leading them to faith in our victorious Savior. I pray that God's power kindles their heart to believe in Jesus' mighty name and carries them into His loving arms. Amen.

Prayer & Praise:
I am a warrior and more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ. I praise You, Heavenly Father, for the Cornerstone, Christ my Savior, who defeated sin, death, and the powers of evil through His resurrection. I celebrate Your victory, Lord Jesus, and thank You for delivering me from being a chicken-hearted disciple. Please remove all cowardice and fear from my heart and make me a courageous warrior of Your truth, love, and grace. I am grateful that You have equipped me with the armor of God so I can fight the good fight and stand firm against the forces of darkness. Use me today, Holy Spirit, to help someone being devoured by the devil by caring for them and guiding them to faith in our mighty Victor, Jesus Christ. Hosanna [save now] in Jesus' name!

I am not forgotten! No one has ever cared for me as You do, Lord God. I praise You for sending the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, to reveal Your heart of compassionate care for the harmed. When I suffered abuse and mistreatment from those who were supposed to love and help me, He came to my rescue, healed my emotional and mental wounds, and cared for me in ways I never imagined possible. Please help me, Lord Jesus, to be an instrument of life-changing care and unfailing love for broken children and people who feel discarded and forgotten. I ask in Your mighty and glorious name.

ETERNAL TRUTH:

• "Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water. “Sir,” the woman said, “You don't have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where would You get that life-giving water? It was our ancestor Jacob who gave us this well; he, his children, and his flocks all drank from it. You don't claim to be greater than Jacob, do You?” Jesus answered, “Those who drink this water will get thirsty again, but those who drink the water that I will give them will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give them will become in them a spring which will provide them with life-giving water and give them eternal life.” John 4:10-13
• '"On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus was standing in the temple courtyard. He said loudly, "Whoever is thirsty must come to Me to drink. As the Scripture says, 'Streams of life-giving water will flow from deep within the person who believes in Me.'" John 7:37-38

RESCUED: The LORD will rescue you - Zechariah 9:16

When my life was in peril, and I had no one to help, I cried out to You, Abba Father, and You sent the Good Shepherd to rescue me. Your everlasting love and compassionate care for me are beyond words. Lord Jesus, I praise and thank You for bringing beauty and value to my life, like The Hope Diamond. Thank You for rescuing me from captivity and for shaping my life into a gem for Your crown of glory. Lead me, Holy Spirit, to someone today who is in great danger and feels worthless. Use me to point them to our Good Shepherd, who comes to our rescue and transforms our lives, turning ugly stones into precious jewels of glory. I pray in the mighty name of my Savior, Jesus Christ.
