IF OUR MINDS WOULD ABSORB THAT

WE ARE ACCEPTED BY GOD IN CHRIST,

OUR CHOICES AND BEHAVIORS WOULD

BE PROFOUNDLY AFFECTED.

Lord, I am so grateful to be one of Your
chosen people, part of a royal priesthood, a
holy nation, a people belonging to You, God,
that I may declare the praises of You who
called me out of darkness into Your wonderful
light (1 Peter 2:9).

You pose the question in Your Word,
“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has
borne?”  You assure me that though she may
forget, You will absolutely never forget me!  You
have engraved me on the palms of Your hands
(Isa. 49:15-16).

For the sake of Your great name, You will
not reject Your people.  You have been pleased
to make me Your own (1 Sam. 12:22).

Prayer for a child’s room

Lord, I invite Your Holy Spirit to dwell in this room, which belongs to ______________.  You are Lord over Heaven and earth, and I proclaim that You are Lord over this room as well.  Flood it with Your light and life.  Crowd out any darkness which seeks to impose itself here, and let no spirits of fear, depression, anger, doubt, anxiety, rebelliousness, or hatred find any place here.  I pray that nothing will come into this room that is not brought by You, Lord.  If there is anything here that should not be, show me so it can be taken out. 

Put Your complete proptection over this room so that evil cannot enter here by any means.  Fill this room with Your love, peace and joy.  I pray that my child will say, as David in the Bible did, “i will walk within my house with a perfect heart.  I will set nothing wicked before my eyes”. (Psalm 101:2-3)  I pray that You, Lord, will make this room a holy place, sanctified for Your Glory.

You shall take the annointing oil and annoint the tabernacle and all that is in it and you shall hallow it an all it’s utensils, and it shall be holy.  Exodus 40:9

Last week I annointed rooms and said this prayer in my house.  I’ve been seeking the Lord much more closely, and satan is attacking because of it.  It’s ok when he comes after me, but when he goes after my kids, … well I let him know they are off limits to him.  I am prepared with the armor of God to fight him all the way.

GOD CARES MORE FOR OUR FREEDOM

THAN EVEN WE DO.  HE INITIATED THE

SAVING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HIS

PEOPLE AND THEIR LIBERATOR.

O Lord, like David, help me rejoice in
Your strength and say of You, “How great is
my joy in the victories You give!”  Father, please
grant me the desire of my heart to be free from
the strongholds in my life.  Do not withhold
the request of my lips (Ps. 21:1-2).

For I know that my old self was crucified
 with You, so that this body of sin might be
done away with, that I should no longer be a
slave to sin-because anyone who has died has
been freed from sin (Rom. 6:6-7).

I acknowledge that it is for freedom that
Christ has set  me free.  Your desire is for me
to stand firm and not let myself be burdened
again by the yoke of slavery (Gal. 5:1).

Help me, Lord.  Empower me!

Since I was working yesterday, I had to wait to post this.  I didn’t want to put it off until next week.

GOD CREATES AND ACTIVATES A

NAGGING DISSATISFACTION IS US FOR

AN EXCELLENT REASON-HE WANTS

US TO COME TO REPENTANCE.

Father, Your Word promises me that the
one who conceals his sins does not prosper, but
whoever confesses and renounces them finds
mercy (Prov. 28:13).  Your Word also says that
if we claim to be without sin, we deceive our-
selves, and the truth is not in us (1 John 1:8).

Help me, Lord!  I need Your truth in me!
Lord, I confess all my sins to You right now-
specifically-by name-and I thank You that
You are always faithful and just to forgive me
of all my sin and purify me from all
unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).  As a
believer in Your Son, Jesus Christ, I am
under grace, not under law (Rom 6:14).
Therefore, sin does not have
permission to be my master.

THE PURE-HEARTED, FAITH-FILLED

PETITIONER IS GOING TO BEHOLD A

MIRACLE, WHETHER TEMPORAL OR

ETERNAL.  WONDERS NEVER CEASE.

I give thanks to You, Lord, for You are good.
Your love endures forever.

I give thanks to You, the God of gods.  I
give thanks to You, the Lord of lords, to You
who alone does great wonders, who by Your
understanding made the heavens, who spread
out the earth upon the waters, who made the
great lights and the sun to govern the day.

Your love endures forever.

I give thanks to You, Lord, the One who remembered
me in my low estate and freed me from
my enemies.

I give thanks to the God of heaven, for
Your love endures forever.  Indeed, Your love
endures forever!  (Ps. 136:1-8,23-26).

WE TEND TO RUN TO GOD FOR

TEMPORARY RELIEF, GOD IS LOOKING

FOR PEOPLE WHO WILL WALK WITH

HIM IN STEADFAST BELIEF.

 

At this moment, Father, I am choosing the
way of truth.  I want to set  my heart on Your
laws (Ps. 119:30).  I want to choose the way of
truth the rest of my days.

Test me, O Lord, and try me.  Examine
my heart and my mind, for Your love is ever
before me, and I desire to walk continually in
Your truth (Ps. 26:2-3).  Redeem me, O Lord,
the God of truth (Ps. 31:5).  Help me remember
that nothing and no one can be redeemed
without truth: the God of truth!

Show me Your ways, O Lord.  Teach me
Your paths.  Guide me in Your truth and teach
me, for You are God my savior, and my hope is
in You all day long (Ps. 25:4-5).

BY DEMANDING THAT WE SEEK

HIS GLORY ALONE,

GOD IS CALLING US TO

OVERCOME THE NATURAL TEMPTATION

TO SEEK OUR OWN.

Father, Your Word asks the questions,
“Who is it you have insulted and blasphemed?
Against whom have you raised your voice and
lifted your eyes in pride?  Against the Holy One
of Israel!”  (2 Kings 19:22).

Please help me to have a proper respect for You, O God.

A day is certainly coming, Father, when the
arrogance of man will be brought low and
the pride of men humbled.  You alone will be
exalted in that day (Isa. 2:17).

Help me to humble myself under Your mighty
hand, Lord, that You may lift me up in due
time (1 Peter 5:6).  Help me to humble
myself now so You are free to
do wonders later!

FAITH ALWAYS PLEASES GOD,

EVEN IF IT PROMPTS AN OFF-TARGET

PETITION.  WE ALL ERR IN MANY

WAYS.  LET US ERR

ON THE SIDE OF FAITH.

Father God, according to Your Word, without faith it is impossible to please You, because
anyone who comes to You must believe that You exist and that You reward those who
earnestly seek You (Heb. 11:6).

Lord, I want to please You.  Build faith in me so my life will honor the life of Your Son at
all times, in every way.

Help me not be like the ancient Israelites who willfully put You to the test (Ps. 78:18).
They did not believe in You or trust in Your deliverance even after all the wonders You
had shown them (Ps. 78:22).

Please swell my soul with belief, and help me to trust emphatically in Your deliverance.

Prayer for Purpose

 

I’ve been thinking about intercessory prayer lately.  Now, have I been thinking it, or has God been calling me to it?  Yeah, I know!  Anyway, while at the christian book store yesterday, I picked up a book about it.  I haven’t started it yet, because I’m currently reading two already.  Then I pick up my daily book of prayers and flip open to a page and find this.  Read on…

Lord, I believe I was born for such a time as this, and that You have called me to pray for others.  I pray for a divine visitation of Your mercy and grace upon my city, and my nation.  I declare You to be Lord over these places.  I know that part of my purpose on earth is to affect these places through intercession.  Help me to do that.  Help me to affect the world for Your glory.  Stormie OMartian, A Book of Prayer, page 40.

Um, yeah, so now what do you think?  Is it me, or is it God speaking to me? 

Prayer for Guidance

Lord, I come to Your throne room
and bow at Your feet, humbly proclaiming
my love for You.  Thank You for loving me
enough to send Your Son to save me. 
I make You Lord over every area of my life.
I surrender all that I am, all that I have,
to You, and ask that You would rule every
part of me.  Mind, soul, body and spirit. 
I am Yours.  I make this commitment to You,
trusting You with all my being. 
Enable me to deny myself in order to take
up my cross daily and follow You.  I carry
the burden of the cross.  Make me Your disciple. 
Guide me and lead me.  Make me hear You. 
I want to lose my life in You, so I will be saved. 

Amen
