Father, because the desire of our hearts is to become all that You want us to be as people of prayer, I offer Jabez’s prayer for my own prayer life and for those You have placed on my heart as an intercessor, believing it will be in Your will to hear and answer such a prayer.
I ask that You bless us indeed--
exceedingly, abundantly beyond all that we can ask or imagine, that our lives and our prayers will be blessed to be a blessing in the lives of those we love and pray for.
Enlarge our territory--
increase the boundaries and extend the margins of our knowledge of prayer, our desire to pray, the time we spend in prayer, the number of people we pray for, our undertaking of what to ask, and the effectiveness of our prayers.
May Your hand be on us--
that every prayer will be inspired by Your Spirit, that we will be enabled to live the life that keeps us sensitive to His leading and allows You to hear and answer every request He leads us to make.
Keep us from harm, that we might serve you in full health and strength--
protect us from Satan and every evil spirit under his command in the name of Jesus and with the blood of the cross, demolishing every stronghold attempting to influence our heart, mind, emotions, or will against the knowledge of God.
Now, Father, I ask you to help us to be those who love You with all our heart, mind, soul and strength. Help us to live so that our hearts do not condemn us, lives that are obedient and pleasing to You--for I ask it in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

DIRECTIONS TO OUR FATHER'S HOUSE
Make a Right onto Believeth Blvd.
Keep straight and go through the Green Light, which is Jesus Christ .
There, you must turn onto the Bridge of Faith , which is over troubled water.
When you get off the bridge, make a Right turn and Keep Straight.
You are on the King's Highway - Heaven-bound.
Keep going for three miles:
One for the Father, One for the Son, and One for the Holy Spirit Amen, Amen Amen!.
Then exit off onto Grace Blvd.
From there, make a Right turn on Gospel Lane.
Keep Straight and then make another Right on Prayer Road .
As you go on your way,
Yield Not to the traffic on Temptation Ave.
Also, avoid SIN STREET because it is a DEAD END.
Pass up Envy Drive , and Hate Avenue.
Also, pass Hypocrisy Street , Gossiping Lane, and Backbiting Blvd. However, you have to go down Long-suffering Lane , Persecution Blvd. and Trials and Tribulations Ave.
But that's all right, because VICTORY Street is straight ahead! Glory AMEN!!!!!
Brothers and Sisters in Christ, we are bombarded today with relentless appeals to go in various directions. Television advertising alone places hundreds of options before us, in addition to appeals made by political parties, cults, false religions, and dozens of other groups. Numerous organizations, including Christian organizations, seek to motivate us to support a cause. Add to that the dozens of decisions we must make concerning our job, our family, our money, our society, and we become desperate for someone to show us the right way. If you find yourself pulled in several directions, remember that God teaches the humble his way. So now that we know the directions to our Fathers house, lets make sure our love ones know the way to our fathers house...as a matter of fact, invite your enemies too.
I received these beautiful directions from my dear niece, Vanessa, whom is saved and I love her dearly. Thank you Vanessa!
