Prayer For Passion
Lord clean my heart from the inside out and remove all impurities from me. May my first priority and passion in life be, to seek first the Kingdom of God and all your righteousness. And as a result of that, that you cause all my needs and the desires
of my heart to be added unto me. (Matthew 6:33) My heart and soul thirst after the goodness and the presence of you Lord, as if I was in a dry and thirsty land where there us no water. (Psalm 143:6)
Amen
Almighty God, I glory in your name as my heart and soul continually seek your face. I thank you for this great day for waking me up in my right mind, for the use of my limbs and for keeping my mental faculties in order according to your word. Through my prayer, confession, worship and fellowship in your word, I draw near to you and believe that you are also drawing near to me. (James 4:8) Amen
I am humbly praying that my passion what the Lord intended for me to do as a career comes to me. Help me to find the right job I was born to do. I pray every day.
Amen
Father,
I'm sitting in the lights of the Christmas tree, in the dark quiet of morning, and I'm longing to be the woman you've created me to be. I want to be a woman who is wildly in love with Jesus. I want to be passionate about the work you've designed me to complete. I want to speak life, to love well, to leave this corner of the world ABLAZE with Your passion flowing through me.
Yet my day ahead looks like this- five loads of laundry, a meal to deliver to a tired mom, a tantrum-prone toddler to tame', tator tot casserole to prepare, a kicking baby in my womb to carry and children to chauffer. Oh, show me how to do the daily grind with passion. Make me beautiful inside my heart with the lasting charm of a quiet and gentle spirit which is so precious to you. Grant me your love for the children with whom you've entrusted me. Help me to see my husband through your eyes. Transform me into the wife he needs to become the man you want him to be. Help me to cherish the life you've chosen for me.
I love you, Lord.

Most dear Jesus, publicly shorn of your garments, and most cruelly scourged at the pillar, have mercy on us, O Lord.
Most dear Jesus, crowned with thorns, beaten and blindfolded, clothed in rich purple and mocked, have mercy on us, O Lord.

Amen.
O Lord, for the redemption of the world, you willed to be born among human beings, subjected to the rite of circumcision, rejected by the people, betrayed by Judas with a kiss, bound with cords, led like an innocent lamb to slaughter, shamelessly exposed
to the gaze of Annas as well as Caiaphas, Pilate, and Herod, accused by false witnesses, tormented by scourges and insults, spat upon and crowned with thorns, struck with blows of hand and reed, blindfolded and stripped
of your garments, affixed to the wood and lifted high on the Cross, numbered among thieves, given gall and vinegar to drink, and pierced by a lance.
Lord, by these most holy sufferings which we, your unworthy servants, devoutly call to mind, and by your holy Cross and death, deliver us from the pains of hell, and be pleased to take us where you took the penitent
thief who was crucified with you. You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever.
Amen.
Heavenly Father, remove my heart of stone and give me a new heart and a new spirit (Ezekiel 36:26), one that burns with the passion to seek you and do your will.
Amen
God, your lovingkindness never ceases and your compassion never fails (Lamentations 3:22-23). By your great faithfulness, I ask for these gifts right now. Cover me with your love and compassion so that I may walk in your ways.
Amen
