PRAYER:
“Father God, I ask You to search my heart. If You find anything in me that is offensive, please show me and help me remove it from my life. Teach me to love others well and live a life that points people to You. Help me live my life on earth in a way that impacts eternity.”

I humble myself before You, and I ask You to work in and through me today. My time, efforts, thoughts, and words are Yours today (name specific parts of your day and give them to God). Show me what I don’t know, and help me grow in the knowledge of You and Your heart for people. Use me for Your purposes, Lord. I trust that You will be with me and lift me up.”

With confidence that Your power lives in me, give me boldness to confront the enemy and anything I see in the world that does not reflect Your heart. Thank You for breaking the spirit of fear off my life, and I receive the truth that You have given me a sound and healthy mind.”

“God, You promise me in Your Word that in all things You work for my good. Right now, there are circumstances in my life that don’t feel good and that I can’t see an ounce of good in (talk to God about the specific situations that are causing you difficulty or pain). Even though this is how I feel, I choose to believe Your truth over my feelings. When You say You will work in all things for my good, I believe You. Even in situations that seem hopeless, I know You are working on my behalf and that You want more for me than I could ever want for myself. Thank You for having a purpose for me and for working all my circumstances for good.”

Knowing that You are a safe place for me, I come to You and give You everything on my heart (talk to God about the specific things that are on your heart today). From what is worrying me to what is delighting me, for what I hope for to what I’m afraid of, I bring it all to You because I know I can trust You. Help me and guide me in every area, in Jesus’ name.”

 PRAYER:
“Lord, I believe You have everything I need and You want to bless me. You tell me in Your Word that You will open the heavens to bless the work I do. I know that without You, I can do nothing. I ask that You will open the heavens and pour out Your blessings and power over me. I give my work and my efforts to You and I ask You for favor and blessing in anything my hands touch (surrender specific efforts to Him). May it be for Your glory alone so that others may see Your power and goodness at work.”

SCRIPTURE:
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (ROMANS 8:38-39) 

PRAYER:
“God, I am in awe of Your love for me. You are so great, and I am so small, yet You love me fully. I remind my soul today that nothing can separate me from Your love—I am so grateful! There is nothing I can do to win or lose Your love; You love me without condition. Because I know nothing on earth, in time or space, or anything in existence can separate me from Your love, I will live confidently and peacefully knowing I have always been and will always be fully loved by You.”

SCRIPTURE:
“No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the Lord. (ISAIAH 54:17)

PRAYER:
“Lord, I know that no weapon raised against me will succeed because I am Your child. I feel pressure in my life right now, and sometimes I feel as though life will overcome me (talk to God about the concerns weighing on you).

This truth is verified by Your love and saving power in my life.”

PRAYER:
“Father, my heart feels anxious (tell God what is giving you anxiety). I don’t like this feeling, but I’m thankful I can come to You and receive peace. You invite me to replace my anxiety with prayer, and even though my mind and heart are racing, I’m coming to You knowing that You provide healing and calm for my soul. Thank You for giving me breath and life. I thank You that I am fearfully and wonderfully made in Your image. I lay down all worries, all my physical and mental anxiety, and any attempt at trying to control it all (tell Him the things you are laying down right now). I surrender it all to You. I need You. I need Your peace that transcends my human understanding. Even if things are unstable around me, I pray that Your peace will be evident in my heart and my life. Guard my heart and mind, God. I trust that You are faithful, and I receive Your peace in my life today.”

SCRIPTURE:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

I am confident knowing that I serve a God who cares about my life. I want to find You every day, and You say that if I seek You with all my heart, I will find You. Thank You for showing me the way to You. I lay my plans down at Your feet and receive Your plans for me (mention your plans and lay them down before God). I know that You see the big picture and You know what is better for me than I do. I trust You, and I ask You to guide me toward Your plans.”

When I feel uncertain or afraid, I pray You will comfort me through Your Holy Spirit and remind me that I am never alone because You, the Almighty God, have promised to always be with me.”

PRAYER:
“Lord Jesus, I am so tired and worn out (tell God the areas where you’re tired and weary). I feel exhausted mentally and physically. Life feels hard, and I feel like I can’t keep up my current pace. You invite me to come to You when I am weary, and I fall at Your feet desperate for rest, peace, and perspective. Show me where I am trying to do things on my own. Show me where I need to rest instead of strive. Teach me Your ways. Show me how to walk in gentleness, humility, and rest. I know Your ways are higher than my ways, and I pray that You will transform my heart and mind to be more like You.”

PRAYER:
“God, I claim that I dwell in Your shelter, the Most High God, and I rest in Your shadow, the Almighty One. I claim that You alone are my refuge and fortress. You are my God and I trust You. When I face anything that brings me uncertainty or fear (confess these things to Him), I know that I can come to You as my safe place. Thank You for Your strength and protection in my life.”

SCRIPTURE:
The LORD is trustworthy in all He promises and faithful in all He does. The LORD upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.  (PSALM 145:13-14)

PRAYER:

SCRIPTURE:
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (GALATIANS 2:20)

PRAYER:
“Lord, I realize that my life is not my own – but you are choosing to live in me. That is such an incredible thought!  My life is actually to be lived by faith, not just in my own abilities, as you accomplish your work through me.  Help me to learn what it means to surrender my life, and live in a way that brings glory to you.”

SCRIPTURE:
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.  (EPHESIANS 2:4-5)

PRAYER:
“Lord, thank you for the incredibly great love you have for me!  I know I often forget this truth, because life can become so difficult at times—but I am thankful for this reminder today.  I am so grateful for your mercy, which means I do not only get the judgment I deserve, which is death.  Instead, I get grace which leads to new life!  Incredible grace that I do not deserve, but freely receive. Help me live today with the gratitude of someone who has been given a ‘second chance’ at life.  Let me tell of your great love, share your great love, and show your great love today.  In fact, let this be the one and only message of my life!”

SCRIPTURE:
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. (EPHESIANS 3:20)

PRAYER:
“Father, forgive me for the many times I doubt you.  I don’t even realize when I am doing it, but I sell you short and put you in a box.  When obstacles in my life appear too big to overcome, remind me that you can do way more than I can.  More than I can ask.  More than I can think.  More than I can even imagine!  In fact, your power is not something that only comes from outside of me—your power is inside of me, too.  So help me remember that the power of God is at work within me…and then live like it!”

SCRIPTURE:
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.  (GALATIANS 6:9-10)

PRAYER:
“Lord, I thank you today for this promise that my labor is never in vain.  As you promised, I will reap a harvest for doing good, as long as I don’t give up.  You know me better than anyone, so you know that sometimes I just want to give up.  My prayers don’t seem to be working.  My labor appears to be in vain.  Other people (who aren’t living for you) seem to be doing better than me, even though I’m trying to put your first in my life.  Nonetheless, it is important for me to learn the principle of sowing and reaping.  Whatever I sow, I will also reap. Therefore, I will keep working hard for you…and then trusting you with the results.  Living this way is easier said than done…but I ask you to help me, and I know that you will!”

SCRIPTURE:
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.  (JAMES 1:5)

PRAYER:
“Lord, thank you for the promise that you give wisdom to all who ask.  I claim this promise over my life today.  Man’s wisdom comes from this world, so it can only help so much.  God’s wisdom is something that comes from Your unlimited knowledge and power.  You are the one who made me, and you know what I need before I ask. You see my struggles, and I believe that you want to help…but only if I will let you.  Only if I will ask.  So today, I need wisdom for (insert whatever specific area of your life you need God’s wisdom in).  Holy Spirit, I ask you to lead me and guide me into all truth.”
