Prayers
for Strength and Guidance
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not
on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5
Father God, let me never take you for granted! I know you
are the God of all the universe, Lord. I must make more of an
effort to recognize that You are working in my life and guiding
me. I want to trade all my earthly dependencies for Your
presence.
Please help me to sense Your hand on me as I go about my daily
tasks. Help me to sense your presence so strongly in my life
that I never doubt it again. When your presence pours through
me, my longings are filled more deeply and more completely than
anything this life has the offer. The sense of peace, the
direction, the calm, the strength wells within me that can only
come from you. I experience your power, and also the eternal
goodness that encompasses you. Glory radiates from you and yet I
know that I can approach you. I can come to you with anything,
and you will talk to me, become personal with me in my fragile
human condition.
Thank you, Lord for loving me first…for pursuing me and wanting
a relationship with me. You are my Savior and I love you.
AMEN
“He will teach the ways that are right and best to those
who humbly turn to him.” Psalms 25:9
Heavenly Father, I know that you sent your Son here on
earth and that He died for me. It is hard for me to comprehend
why such a powerful God could love me as much as you do. Even
though I cannot understand a love so great, I know Christ laid
down His life for me so that I might have abundant life forever
with you.
I ask you to forgive me for not living Your way. Father, I need
you to help me become all you created me to be. Show me where I
am not walking on your path. Come into my heart and fill me with
your Holy Spirit. Let all the wrong, the sin, the unhealthy and
unholy thinking be crowded out by the power of your presence.
Almighty Father, I ask for your help in living my life according
to your will…being all I can be in your name. I want this
journey in you to continue. I long for my relationship with you
to grow. I want to know you intimately…I want to learn more
about you…I want to meet you in all the comings and goings of my
life. Come, Lord, take over my heart and live there forever.
AMEN
“We know that in all things God works for the good of
those who love him, who have been called according to his
purpose.” Romans 8:28 |
