may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say
to you, they have their reward.

room, and when you have shut your
door, pray to your Father who is in the
secret place; and your Father who
sees in secret will reward you openly.

1 Timothy 2
1 Therefore I exhort first of all that
supplications, prayers, intercessions, and
giving of thanks be made for all men,
2 for kings and all who are in authority,
that we may lead a quiet and peaceable
life in all godliness and reverence.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the
sight of God our Savior,
4 who desires all men to be saved and to
come to the knowledge of the truth.

Revelation 8
3 Then another angel, having a golden
censer, came and stood at the altar. He
was given much incense, that he should
offer it with the prayers of all the saints
upon the golden altar which was before
the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, with
the prayers of the saints, ascended
before God from the angel's hand.
Revelation 8
5 Then the angel
took the censer,
filled it with fire
from the altar, and
threw it to the
earth. And there
were noises,
thunderings,
lightnings, and an
earthquake.

And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one
James 1
12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation;
for when he has been approved, he will receive
the crown of life which the Lord has promised to
those who love Him.
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am
tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by
evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one
James 1
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn
away by his own desires and enticed.
15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives
birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings
forth death.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one

As a young man I was encouraged to pray,
“Father do not let temptation and opportunity
meet in my life.”
James 4
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and
he will flee from you.
8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify
your hearts, you double-minded.
For Yours is the kingdom and the
power and the glory forever. Amen
It's not about us.
It's about Jesus
Christ.
Its about HIS GLORY.

Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,

Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, for ever. Amen.
