Praying thro Hebrews (Aug 12)

Christ the Anchor of Our Souls
(Prayer Walk thro Heb 5-7)

God spoke in times past through
the prophets, but He has reserved
the declaration of His glory for
His Son. By His suffering & death,
Jesus He lifts mankind above
the angels into the family of God.
Because of His perfect humanity,
Jesus is uniquely qualified to serve
as High Priest for sinful mankind.
Moses was a servant in God’s
household, but Christ is the
divine Son over God’s household.
Joshua was Israel’s provider of
peace in the land of Canaan, but
Christ will bring His people into
the eternal resting place of heaven.

Dear Lord Jesus, Thank You
for all that You have done for us.
Thanks for the book of Hebrews
that shows You are superior
over everyone and everything.
Thanks we can access directly
to You for help in our challenges.
Grant us confidence as we claim
all the promises in Hebrews 5-7:
that You Remember Our Labour;
that You Will Be Our Anchor; and
that You’ll Intercede For Us. Amen.

Lord, You Remember Our Labour:
We are confident that you are
meant for better things, things
that come with salvation. For God
is not unfair. He will not forget
how hard you have worked for Him
and how you have shown your
love to Him by caring for other
Christians as u still do (Heb 6:9-10)
Lord, sometimes I struggle with
living in a world where evil seems
to be rewarded, while good is
ignored or even disadvantaged.
Help me to keep my eyes on You
and on the truth of Your Word.
You are righteous in all You do;
and thanks for the promise
that You will never forget all
that we do for Your kingdom.
Grant us grace even as we purpose
to continue to do good. Amen.

Lord, You will Be Our Anchor:
God also bound himself with an
oath, so that those who received
the promise cd be perfectly sure
He would never change His mind…
These 2 things are unchangeable
because it is impossible for God
to lie. Therefore, we who have
fled to Him for refuge can take
new courage, for we can hold on
to His promise with confidence.
This confidence is like a strong
and trustworthy Anchor for
our souls (Heb 6:17-19). Amen.
Lord, thank you for providing
something to hold on to when
everything seems to be shaking.
My hope in Jesus is an Anchor
for my soul and will keep me
steady in all the storms of life.
Thank you for the promise that
those who flee to You for refuge
can take new courage because
Your promises are true and you
never break your word! Amen.

Lord, You Will Intercede For Us:
Because Jesus lives forever,
He has a permanent priesthood.
Therefore He is able to save
completely those who come
to God through Him, because
He always lives to intercede
for them (Heb 7:24-25). Amen.
Lord, praise U for being not just
our Saviour, but also our great
High Priest and our representative.
Thank you for your constant
care for us. Thank you for praying
for me continually before the
throne of God. And I ask you for
grace to make my life & actions
confirm to Your will. Amen
