Prayer For Everyday Life
Dear Lord,
You have given me a huge and wonderful responsibility of being a parent and also a leader in my church community. I embrace this with all that I am. Father, I want to be the best role model possible to my children and to the members of my church. Give me wisdom to know when to speak and when to listen to those around me, that You may be honored and glorified in all that I do. I don't wanna say a word, unless it points the world back to you! (Hawk Nelson, Words) I love You, Father! Amen
Lord,
I am struggling just to get by. I need your strength today, Father! I pray that You would open doors that would allow me the opportunity for better employment. I am thankful that I have a job, Father, but I am drowning in bills and debt. Please hear my prayer, O God! I want to provide for my family and get rid of this huge burden on my shoulders. Let Your will be done this day, Lord. You know what is best and I trust You. I am forever grateful for Your love! Amen
Loving Father,
Today I have been blessed with a vacation from work! I want to create something for You! I want to start writing a book, or maybe write You a song! I love You, Lord! For You have given me hope for a bright future in Heaven! You have given me Jesus Christ of Nazareth as a sacrifice to atone for my sins! You have given me a joy that is overwhelming sometimes! I am blessed beyond what I ever thought I would! You are and amazing God! And so now I dedicate this day to You, that it may yield a wonderful masterpiece for You! At the end of this day I will still be praising Your name! I am so in love with You, God! Amen
O Lord,
You are abounding with grace and mercy for me! I praise Your name! I ask that You provide me with necessary things and not only things that I want. My wants can get in the way of You. If there is something that will make me stumble today, I pray that You will keep it from me. My needs are necessary. My wants are not. I can't be effective if my wants are top priority. Lord, I am Your humble servant. Take away all wants that are not good for me, Lord! I love You! Amen
Dear Lord,
I pray for your protection on me today. It is a normal day like always, but still be with me. So many things could be potential hazards: driving, my job, agitated people, those controlled by Satan and my own health. I am thankful for my family, Lord! Please bring us all through our day safely, so that we can be together later. I put my trust in You today! Guide me home safely! I love you! Amen
Father in heaven,
Thank you for another day on earth to live for you! Thank you for watching over me last night and guiding me safely through my sleep to wake up and enjoy another day on earth. What are your plans for me today? Please show me Your will for me and lead me where You wish me to go. Father, your love for me is at a capacity that is impossible for my human mind to comprehend and I am thankful for Your love, Abba! I give You this day and I thank You for it! I love you, Lord! Amen
Father God, my heart is filled with chaos and confusion. I feel as if I am drowning in my circumstances and my heart is filled with fear and confusion. I really need the strength and peace that only You can give. Right now, I choose to rest in You. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. This is the bulk of the prayer that most of us know. There's simply things we can't change, situations that God allowed that we are at least tied to for a season. As much as I've wanted to change my illness, and although I've improved from where I was, haven't been able to untether it from me completely, even with fervent prayer, a healthy but excruciatingly restrictive diet, and meds and supplements. I pray this prayer, asking God for the wisdom to know the difference because although I cannot control my mitochondria or my genetics, I can control what will build up my body and what will tear it down.
