Prayer For Mental Clarity

Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus to ask for Your guidance and clear direction in the choices that I have to make concerning my future. It is my desire that Your will be done in my life, and I do pray that I will not miss Your best purpose for my life by making the wrong decision.

Help me to pray into Your will and to be shown clearly the way that You would have me go. Give me a correct focus on the direction that You would have me take, and help me to plainly see what You have planned for my life.

Remove from my heart foolish desires or selfish motives, and keep me far away from seeking after the things of the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. May I live godly in Christ Jesus, walk in a manner that is worthy of Him and live in spirit and truth, with my eyes focused on Christ and my will guided by the Holy Spirit. This I ask in Jesus' name,

Amen.


Lead me Lord, in the way that I should go and give me I pray, clarity of thought and a clear focus on what Your will is for the direction of my life. I am seeking You for guidance, direction, clarity and focus, and pray that by grace through faith I would walk in spirit and truth, doing only those things that are pleasing in Your sight.

Lord, You have promised wisdom to all who ask, and heavenly Father, I am asking for that wisdom today so that I may know the direction You would have me go, and be enabled to make clear choices regarding the future.

Help me to always follow the path of faith and the road of righteousness, and not be diverted into the way of fear or overshadowed by doubts or engulfed in unbelief. Help me to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, so that I might be able to resist evil and do good, to Your praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name,

Amen.


Loving Lord, I thank You for my life and give You grateful praise for Your great goodness and abundant mercy, which is new every morning. Thank You, that You are a gracious and faithful Father, even during those times when I stray far from You or when I allow the anxieties of life to steal away my peace and rob me of my joy in the Lord.

I pray that Your perfect peace would guard my heart and that You would provide me with a quiet focus and calm tranquillity within my soul. Guard my mind and guide my thoughts I pray, and prevent me from worrying about what may or may not happen, instead of keeping the eyes of my heart focussed upon Jesus and my ears ever open to His leading and guidance.

Give me strength to face all the eventualities of life in the sure knowledge, that Your grace is sufficient for all my needs. Help me to keep my eyes looking to Jesus in a calm and quiet confidence, knowing that He is the author and finisher of my faith. This I ask in His precious name,

Amen.


Dear Lord Jesus, I pray that as I settle down to do my studies today that You would help me to collect the thoughts of my mind so that I may become really focussed on my work and complete all that needs to be covered today.

Give me a focussed mind, help me to make the best use of the time today and keep me from the many distractions that too often divert my attention away from this important study.

Lord, You know that I have an exam coming up in the not to distant future and I pray that You would give me the grace to learn my studies, and to retain what I have learned. Give me an understanding mind and help me to concentrate so that I may retain and apply the knowledge that I am gaining. Thank You, Lord. In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.


Loving Lord and Heavenly Father, how I thank You for The holy Scriptures and the truth within its pages. Thank You for the opportunity to spend time in Your Word and I pray that You would prepare my heart for this time of Bible study.

Help me to set my mind on things above and not on earthly things. Keep away all that would distract me from Your Word and develop in me a teachable spirit and ears that listen to Your still small voice, and I pray that the eyes of my heart would be open to see all that You want to teach me.

I pray that I may study to show myself approved unto God. Give me insight and understanding as I read and reflect on Your Word, and may I mature in the faith, grow in grace and come to a deeper knowledge of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ through this time of Bible study. This I ask in Jesus' name,

Amen.


O Lord,
You are my sat nav,
A voice to guide my way.
Such help on every journey,
Within my heart you reign.

You are my compass,
You lead me where to go.
Even when the path is dim,
Your truth lights all I know.

You are my lighthouse.
In the high seas and storms,
I do not fear the rocks of life,
Your love light keeps me warm.

Amen.


Lord,

Let faith be my guide
Let hope be my map
Let love be my measure

That is all I need.

Amen.


Dear God,

Be in my thoughts like a torch shining in the dark.
Be in my heart like a drumbeat keeping time.
Be in my body like an intricate dance.
Be in my soul like a cascading waterfall.
Be in my speech like a poet spins lyrics.
Be in my spirit like a strong wind of change.
Sweep up all that I am, bring light to my being
And take me as an instrument for you.

Amen.
