"But seek His kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well" John 12:31

For Gong Li born 12/31/1965

"Dear Father, I lift your dear daughter up to You. Speak to her heart, whisper Your passion to her. May she hear You in the silent moments, in the times her heart cries out. Be the living water for her soul, bring healing and bind her wounds. I pray that she will be as merciful for herself as she is for others, let her know that Your grace is sufficient. Bless her, Father God. Let the new year bring not only prosperity but further revelation of Your love.

12/30 - Tiger Woods

December 30 ( 12:30)

"Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, and with all of your soul, and with all of your mind, and with all of your strength" Mark 12:30

For Tiger Woods born 12/30/1975

Tiger, I know that this has been a hard year for you. To lose your father, your mentor, your champion leaves a deep painful void in your life. Know from the depths of your sorrow, God hears your cry. Know that He blessed you with a father that wished to impart to you knowledge that transcends far beyond the game of golf. The best way to honor this gift of God is to never forget the wisdom he imparted, always the remember the love he poured out, and the sacrifices made on your behalf, to become not a great golfer, but a great man known more for the love he showed than the putts he sank. Make your daddy proud, and that will bless the heart of your heavenly Father as well.

12/29 - Jessica Andrews

December 20 (12:29)

"For our God is a consuming fire"

Hebrews 12:29

For Jessica Andrews born 12/29/1983

Father God, I know You absolutely adore Jessica. She is Your treasure. In addition to being her Heavenly Father who wants to lavish her with blessing, I pray that she will also know You as a consuming fire. Consume her with Your love and burn away all that stands between You and her. Send Your Spirit to burn within her soul, to yearn and even faint for You. Fill her heart with desire and then grant her the desires of her heart.

12/28 - Denzel Washington

December 28 (12:28)

" Be careful to obey all these regulations I am giving you, so that it may always go well with you and your children after you, because you are doing what is right and good in the eyes of the Lord"

Deuteronomy 12:28

For Denzel Washington born 12/28/1954

Denzel, you have played such strong and admirable characters as Steven Biko, Malcolm X, and Private Tripp in "Glory". I sense that portraying such strong traits is not such a stretch for you. I pray that you will never allow the pitfalls of success and fame to erode this strong moral foundation. I pray that you will walk in the confidence that God's sovereignty is unshakeable and that His promises are sure. He has placed in you a hunger for righteousness and a thirst for justice. Be forever thankful for this desire, and never let it be satisfied. You have been given a gift, be a good steward of it so it may always go well with you and your children after you.

December 27 (12:27)

"May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels"
Psalm 122:7

For Carson Palmer born 12/27/1979

Carson, I can only imagine that being big man on campus at USC, the number one overall draft pick in the NFL and a successful pro football star brings a significant amount of financial security. I also know that financial security rarely equates to peace. I pray right now that you will, outside of any status you have attained, or money you have acquired, will dwell in a place of unshakeable peace. That regardless of what the future holds for your career, that you will know that you Creator has incredible plans for you. I pray that you will also experience complete healing of your knee, that it will be stronger than before it was injured. I pray blessings on you today. Happy birthday Carson

Ezekiel 12:25

For Dido Florian Cloud de Bounevialle Armstrong born 12/25/1971

Dido, the Lord wants you to know how much he cherishes you. He hears when you cry out in you quiet and lonely times. He is pursueing you, He is wooing you as a bridegroom calls out for his bride. I pray that His extravagent love is more than you can even bare. I pray you can rest in His peace, that you can revel in His love. That you will know the kisses of His mouth, and as He declares his love, you know that He, as the Sovereign Lord, has already fulfilled that love with the gift of His Son, Whose birth we also celebrate today. Blessings on you precious daughter of God.

For Mekhi Phifer born 12/24/1974

Father, You have raised up Mekhi from the streets of Harlem, where so many young men fall prey to the violence of our culture. I thank You this day, that You have kept Mekhi alive and free. I thank You, Lord, for all of the people that you have placed in his life to help cultivate the great talent with whichYou have blessed him. As he considers the great things You have done for him, instill in him an even greater compassion for those young men struggling against those pressures. I pray he speaks hope into their lives, and just as he has been set free and made alive, that many will see, and follow, believe, and fear their God.

"Far be it from me to sin against the Lord for failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right"
1 Samuel 12:23

For Eddie Vedder born 12/23/1965

Father, Your word here says it is a sin against You if we fail to pray for the people You have placed on our hearts. I don't consider it an obligation ot pray for Eddie, I count it as a privilege. Lord, You have placed in Eddie's heart songs. Songs that cry out for the brokenhearted, the lost, the dispossesed. You have given him words that touch people and relate to the struggle that is life in an imperfect world. I pray, Father, that You will give Him pictures and words, and songs about Your Kingdom, where there are no more tears, there is no sickenss, where suffering is no longer even a memory. Songs of truth, that speak hope into this world. Bless his marriage, bless his daughter. May his delight in her speak of Your delight in him.

That you, as His servant, and by His hand, will seek justice where there is injustice, pursue mercy for those who are shown no mercy, and fight for peace for those ravaged by war.Brad, I pray that the Lord will put in you an unquenchable spirit to seek these things, even to the point of obsession.

12/17 Eugene Levy

December 17th, (12:17)

"The Lord will keep you from all harm, He will watch over your life"
Psalm 121:7

For Eugene Levy born 12/17/1946

"Father God, I lift up Eugene to You today. I know Lord that You watch over his life, You pour out Your blessings upon him. I pray that on this, his 6oth birthday, You will begin a new chapter in his life, that You will speak into his heart a new desire, that You will put in his mouth a new song. I pray that he will take the influence You have allowed him to acquire, and he will press into issues that will have an impact for eternity. That his friends, and family, especially his children, will see and understand all that he is doing, and a new legacy will be formed. Father, again, bless him on this day, and thank You for this man who makes me smile.

This all started when some good friends of ours were having their first child back in October. I wanted to find a scripture to match the date of their daugher's birth. For example if she was born on October 15th, I'd choose, say John 10:15. I then wondered if I could find a scripture that matched every day of the year. Then I thought I'd find a prominant living person born on each day of the year, and pray that scripture over them. Some of the prayers are intercessory, some prophetic, some just prayers of thanks. So, I will try to update this daily starting at the beginning of the year. Then, other strangers can add their prayers as well.
