Heavenly Father,
Teach me to worship You with my
whole heart the way You want me to.
Make me a true worshipper and may praise and
worship be my first response
to every circumstance. When I speak, help me
to speak with words that bring life and edification. Help me to set my life
in the right order. I want to always put you first, everything else in
my life. Teach me how to love You with all my heart, mind, and soul.
Give me a submissive heart. Help me to always submit to governing
authorities and the correct people in my family, work and church. Show me
who the proper Spiritual authorities are to be in my life.
I pray You would show me what
work I am suppose to be doing. If it is
something other than what I am doing now,
reveal it to me. If it is something in addition to what I am doing, show me
that too. Whatever it is You have called me to do, both now and in the
future, I pray You will give me the strength and energy to get it done well.
Enable me to hear Your voice guiding me. Send Your angels to keep charge
over me and keep me in all my ways. May they bear me up, so that I will not
even stumble (Psalm 91:12). Give me discernment for each decision I must
make.
I pray that Your peace would
rule my heart and mind to such a degree that people would sense it when they
are around me. Help me to "pursue the things which make for peace and
the things by which one may edify another" (Romans 14:19). Give
me patience to not give up and the strength to stand strong in Your Word.
Increase my faith so that I can pray in power.
I surrender my relationships, my
finances, my work, my recreation, my
decisions, my time, my body, my mind, my
soul, my desires, and my dreams. I put them all in Your hands to be used for
Your glory. I pray for godly friends, role models, and mentors to come into
my life. Reveal to me any area of my life where I should be giving to
someone right now.
Please rescue me when "my
spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart
within me is distressed" (Psalm 143:4) I
ask that You set me free from my past. Only You can take whatever loss I
experience and fill that empty place with good.
Lord, help me to examine my
ways, so that I can return to your ways wherever I have strayed. Enable me
to take any steps necessary in order to be pure before you. Thank You that
You will keep me pure and holy so I will be fully prepared for all You have
for me. I pray I will have no secret thoughts where I entertain ungodly
desires to do or say something I shouldn't. I pray that I will have no
secret life where I do things I would be ashamed to have others see. Show me
the truth about myself so that I can see it clearly. Make me clean and right
before You. Forgive me for my sins and help me to have a truly
repentant heart.
Thank you, that You have given me all
authority over satan (Luke 10:19). Teach
me to use that authority You have given me,
to see him defeated in every area. Help me to fast and pray regularly in
order to break any stronghold the enemy is trying to erect in my life.
I pray all this in Your Sons'
name,
Amen
