Lord,
May we be doers and not just hearers of Your Word. May we act immediately on the instructions of Your Holy Spirit within us. Lord cultivate in us hearts to obey, no matter how odd or uncomfortable or foolish it may seem to us. Cultivate in us hearts that trust completely in You and that are willing to move in line with Your Will for our lives and our families.
We want you, Lord. More of You than we’ve ever had before. We invite You to come in and to take over the throne of our hearts. We invite You to reign in majesty and to rule as the great, good, true, living, loving God that You are.
We commit ourselves to You and to Your Ways. Minister to us this week in a fresh new way.
In Jesus’ Sweet Name, Amen.
Lord,
Today we come to You asking to hear You oh Lord. We want to know Your Voice. We want to be able to discern your instructions to us. Make our ears, hearts, and spirits sensitive to You Father. We pray God that we will know You better this week , that we will walk in closer relationship with You as a result of our commitment to meet You this week in a deeper way.
Thank you that You love us. Teach us to love You.
In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Lord, we come to you today asking for forgiveness of our sins and failures. We ask that You would prepare us over the next few days for an intimate experience with You. Daddy we release to You all the things that You never meant us to carry. We cast all our cares upon You, because we know that You care for us. Your word says that if You care for sparrows, we can know that You care that much more for us. So we give to You our hurts, resentments, disappointments, frustrations, doubts, fears, aggravations,
Empty us of anything that has not been planted by Your loving hand and prepare the soil of our spirits to be filled by You in this upcoming year in a fresh new way.
We love You, Lord and we thank You for who You are and what You’ve already done and are in the process of doing in our lives. We worship You, Father and we come before Your throne in readiness to be filled anew.
Lord, we thank You and we praise You. We lay this prayer at Your feet.
In Christ’s Name, Amen.
Dear Father,
May we see pride as our archenemy and refuse its pleadings. Though it comes with utter reasonableness and soft entreaties, convincing appeals to our goodness and sense of worth, or even clever proof-texts from Holy Scripture, may we flee pride and heed the call of God to avoid thinking more of ourselves than we ought.
May we embrace humility as our closest friend and let things be. The world, once pristine and innocent, fell into sin and chaos shortly after the creation of people, and no amount of effort on our part will restore paradise. We cannot by our efforts right the wrongs of the world, even if we did possess flawless discernment. We must accept that we might be wrong more than we are right and find our rest in the Lord, allowing Him to correct others in His way…in His time.
May we return to the Cross when we find ourselves in need of an example of true humility. Proud, self-righteous men condemned Jesus to die. And proud, brutal men carried out the sentence. As they nailed Him to the cross and hung Him up there to die, He looked down with the compassion and said, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). His gentle, humble heart won the day. May He do so again with your heart and mine.
In Jesus Name, Amen
Lord,
We come before You humble and lowly, knowing that we can do nothing apart from You. Lord we know that nothing we accomplish is worth anything without Your love and approval. Father we come to You knowing that we cannot fast in our own strength. We come knowing that we will only succeed if You are our focus and our center. We ask that You put a hedge of protection around us, so that as we come before You and ask You to move in our behalf, Satan might not be able to distract us or destroy our efforts. We want to please You, Father. We want to serve You. We want to honor You. Allow us to do so oh God. Give us wisdom, give us the right words. Put on our hearts the things in Your heart for us and our people.. Give us supernatural wisdom during this week so that we come before You asking what is in Your Will. Encamp angels at the entrances of our homes. Surround us oh Lord and protect us from the enemy. And then Father, protect our loved ones, our spouses and our children. Allow our intercession for them to keep Satan and his minions at bay, in order that they have an opportunity to catch a glimpse of you for themselves and that their hearts may be softened just a little more to Your Wooing.
Move this week Lord in a way that only You can. We trust You and we seek You and You alone.
We come Father not just for ourselves but also for each other. We come today petitioning You for the salvation of the loved ones of all those who are praying and/or fasting with us. We come asking Lord that strong holds and chains, addictions and fears be ended this day. We come Lord knowing that is not Your will that any should perish but that all should spend eternity with You. We ask oh Holy God that our husbands and wives and children and grandchildren and nieces and nephews are saved. We Lord that none for whom we intercede be allowed to perish. We ask that You woo them Lord until they can’t help themselves. Be the lover of their souls Daddy. For the man who thinks he’s made so many mistakes that You cannot possibly want him, make it plain that no matter the past You long to be his God too. For the woman who is so discouraged that she doesn’t see any reason to keep fighting for a man who rejects You at every turn, give her a passion and a fire in her belly to stand in the face of the evil one and claim the victory You have for her husband and family. For the man contemplating suicide, show him beyond a shadow of a doubt that his life is worth living. For the couple trying to figure out how to make ends meet, Lord prove that You ARE their source. For those couples who’s marriages are in such disarray from poor stewardship, infidelity, dishonesty, disillusionment, fear , addiction, pornography, doubt, or shame from who they used to be, do a miraculous work. Fix the unfixable. Change the unchangeable. Love the unlovable. Save the unsaveable. Salvage that which is in unrecognizable shambles. Restore it so fully that, for an outsider looking in, there would seem to never have been a rift to begin with. We come on behalf of each other asking God to see You work a new thing in our lives and our loved ones lives.
We ask these and all things, in accordance with Your good, perfect, pleasing will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Love the Lord thy God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your might. Trust that your prayers are heard. The overwhelming breakthrough you need and the healing that you ask is already done. I love you. Your faith speaks to My children and it teaches them to trust Me. Your outward life reflects an inner life submitted to My will alone. Just as your life was changed, your husband’s life will also be. The year ahead, trust Me. You will be pleased. The Spirit is upon you and you will begin to commune in a new way this year. This year brings the beginning of your husband’s transformation journey. Very intense but it will also be very sweet. New creature you have asked will emerge. This November you will know that your spirit has been wise in obeying My voice this way. His heart has already been prepared. Now it will be sown. Bond between you will evolve and nothing you have experienced before will be as it was. Night has turned to day and all that has been taken will be returned. You will be openly honored for your private surrender. Pit has been a tool of preparation. Valley has been deep and wide. The mountaintop will be glorious.
