Prayer for non-believers

Image
Everlasting God, I come to you today offering up those who have not yet been called to the Christian faith. Today I ask that you help those who have yet to give their lives to Christ. Reveal your love and power to them so that they may come to know you. I pray that you take away anything in their lives that is keeping them from your love and place the desire to know you in their hearts so that they may seek you earnestly. Fill their hearts that they may know true happiness. Remove the influence of the evil one and clear the path for you perfect light to penetrate their souls and transform them into new creations. Extend your mercy on them and forgive them for any way they have help back the progress of the church or your people. Block the effects of these actions and transform them so they work for the good of the Christian people. Lord hear my prayer Amen

Prayer for Christians

Image
Wonderful God, I offer up to you all Christians. I pray for the people who make it their mission to share the good news of your son with the world. Open opportunities for us to share your peace with the world. I offer up countries where it is frowned upon or even illegal to share the word of God. Open doors for the gospel to reach them safely. Protect Christians in these areas from bad situations. For those of us who are in countries where Christianity is safe, help us to share the truth and to share the message clearly and concisely so that we will be well understood. Help us to reach a deeper level of spirituality so that we can develop our own spiritual lives and the lives of others. Through our hard work and perseverance, bring radical change to our community. Provide for us financially, so that our ministries will never hurt for lack of money. Provide us with unity so that we can work together to bring your will to the Earth. Lord, we want your will to be done. Send la...

Prayer for comfort

Image
Eternal Father I am hurting and time has not healed my pain. Some days are so hard that I feel like I can’t go on. I feel like I am fighting with myself. Lord send me your comfort. Heal my mind.   Lord, I know that you are in control of every situation no matter how challenging or painful it may seem. You are the Ultimate Healer and will never waste the grief we carry today. Erase the pains and multiply the blessings and growth so that I can transform the pain that I have suffered. I pray for all those who are grieving today, may they find comfort in our everyday lives. Please help us to not give into to fear or depression and help us to persevere through our trials. Please hear me, Lord Amen

Prayer for when we are wronged

Image
Loving Father, I have been betrayed by someone and I feel angry and upset. I trusted this person and this betrayal has been a blow to my self-confidence. These feelings are consuming my thoughts and keeping me from living fully. Please fill me with your strength that I can find the motivation to move past the hurt this person has caused and move on with my life. As I move through this life, help me not to push my distrust onto the people I meet by assuming that they will betray me like people in my past may have done. Help me to trust the people who prove that they are worthy of it and help me to rebuild trust in the relationships that have been broken. I know that this will be a difficult journey but by your grace it is possible. Amen

Prayer for dealing with sloth

Image
God of all creation, I know that you have called me to a purpose.   I know that without you my life has no meaning. I sometimes feel Lord like my life and work have no meaning. I feel like I am trying to fill a never-ending pit and that my actions are inherently fruitless. Bless the fruits of my labour that I may see, the progress that I have made and be encouraged to continue working. Help me to work diligently that I can bring to fruition the goals that you have set forward for me. I know that my hesitation can close the door to the graces you have in store for me. Lord do not reject me for your purposes due to my laziness but give me your attentiveness that I may bring glory to you through my work. Amen

Prayer for dealing with lust

Image
  Loving Creator, I thank you for the wonderful body you have created for me. I thank you for the experience of love and romance and the ability to share my love with others. I ask for your mercy for those times in which I have not used these gifts appropriately for any time I have used another person to gain pleasure, I am truly sorry. Heal the pain my sins have caused and teach me to use your gift of love appropriately and respectfully. Guard my mind against lustful thoughts and guide my hands that I may find productive work to give me occupied and away from the things that can distract me from my purpose in you Amen

Prayer for dealing with gluttony

Image
Eternal Father, I know that indulgence can be a true addiction. Help me to identify the moments where I have placed my love of pleasure over my love of you. I realize that I can seriously harm the body that you have given me through overconsumption and excess and vow to excess restraint in my consumption. Whenever I indulge in food drink, social media, luxurious clothes or any other indicator of status or wealth that my actions should always be rooted in my desire to please you. Wherever my overconsumption has damaged my relationships with others, heal those relationships. I no longer wish to have my need for pleasure overshadow the needs of those around me. Lord help me to control my appetite so that I can take command of the life you have provided for me and help me to remember that even my consumption habits should glorify you. Amen.

Prayer for dealing with greed

Image
My Perfect Provider, You know that money is the main way in which we trade for our needs in our current society. It becomes a focus for so many of us and we can put it ahead of our concern for You and make it into an idol. Lord, correct my relationship with money and help me to identify the situations that cause me to place my trust in money so that I can make wiser decisions. Lord, I know that money is not the only indicator of wealth that can sever my closeness to you for any moment where I have clamoured for more when   I already had more than enough I am truly sorry, Help me to identify these moments when they arise so that I may focus on you ahead of possessions. Hear my prayer Lord Amen

June Prayer

Image
Almighty Father,               Thank you for the wonderful blessings that you have given to me in May. As I enter this month of June, I ask you to send your compassion that we may care for refugees and those who have had their lives uprooted by political unrest and war. Human Beings have always looked for ways to seek power over others to develop themselves at the expense of others and use force to gain an advantage I pray for those who have been victim to these ploys that they may escape danger and find the peace that exists even within a chaotic world Lord send your peace Amen
