Urgent prayer request for those facing persecution. Dear Lord Jesus, We come to You right now with urgent requests of heart that You will intervene in behalf of those who are facing severe and devasting persecution. There is much heartbreaking circumstances that are coming against Your people (those who trust in Your Precious Name). Help them stand strong in the midst of these horrible evils that are coming against them due to their faith in You. There are those who are hungry for Your Goodness and Mercy with that Great Love that You bestow. Give them strength to withstand these pressures, all the while You work mightily to deliver them from the hands of the evil ones who hate Your grace. Give comfort to the broken in heart, that they cling to Your peace. Give strength to the weak, that they may be strong in Your hope. In Jesus Christ Forever and ever, Amen and Amen Also a prayer for the ones doing the persecuting. Dear Lord Jesus, You and You alone are in control of every situation. It may be hard for us to see any good in bad situations. Actually, there is nothing good about evil. Deal with the hearts of the most cruel sorts and help them see that what they are doing is wrong, and You alone have the ultimate say and will judge their actions. Help them understand Your Love through what Jesus gave of Himself that they too can have peace with You by acceptance of Your grace to be forgiven and live a new life for You. In Christ Jesus Alone, Amen and Amen A prayer for awareness and renewal Dear Jesus, loving Savior, Help us become more aware of how important it is for us to center our whole lives in Your Love. With our hearts longing for You and looking forward for Your return, our hope is sure. Give us a wonderful renewal each day as our trust in You grows into a loving relationship governed by Your cherished attention that only You provide. With each day that we face, protect us by Your Mighty Hand of good- ness that nourishes us and sustains us in Your ways. In Jesus Name Forevermore, Amen and Amen A plea for God’s help in stressful moments (A personal prayer straight from the heart) Dear Lord Jesus, First of all, I want to thank You for all the times You helped me through those challenging times of stress that caused my weary heart to falter. Give me strength to rely upon You rather than worry about every problem. Fix my mind on every promise for my life to grow stronger in You with a maturity that reflects the peace inside that You alone give. Make me more aware of how frail I am in order to keep my thoughts alert and attentive to Your Word. Thank You that I can turn to You in times of stress knowing that The Holy Spirit’s presence within my life brings comfort even when the situation is contrary. In Christ’s Cherished Name Forever, Amen and Amen (A confidence in nearness to GOD in petition of His Mercy) Dear GOD, Thank You for Your Loving grace that You bestowed to us through JESUS! You offered us Your very best. With our acceptance to that best in that grace You gave us, we may then have the right to petition You through Your Spirit in our lives to come before You in sincere request with a confidence that You will grant us mercy to help us in our every time of need. Knowing the rest You gave us to rely upon Your Word to us, that in every trial we face, in the toil of this life, we have a better hope through what you granted to us. Help us to rely on Your promises that whether by life or death, we shall stand in Your presence giving glory to You forevermore. Resting In The Care Of Jesus, Amen and Amen (A prayer for the grieving heart) Dear Lord Jesus, Help those right now who are facing such hurts of grief that no words could express such sorrow. You know each heart and life in depth and the ache inside of emptiness at such times. Let your peace be real to the mind that You alone can give, and guide each day with healing to go on. With each passing day bring a renewal, to live in the strength that You alone provide. Looking to You in trust that in You all will be well. Thank You for Your hope and care for the health and love in Your presence. May Your love be forever burning brightly! Trusting You Forever, Amen and Amen (A prayer for strength each day) Dear GOD, First of all, thank You for each new day and also for every opportunity that You give us to be productive to work for You. Help us in our lives: to grow strong, to love much, and to play often; for, no matter how young or old we are, You give us an ability to enjoy life to the fullest. Even when stress tries to plague our minds, and impatience tries to bombard our thinking, give us stamina to trust You to work everything out for our good. In the stressful times, help us to look to You to guide our thinking in the importance of Your care, and acknowledge that You not only give us strength in body, but also in our thoughts that brings peace in every area of our lives. Relying On You, Amen and Amen (a prayer in this New Year) Dear GOD, our Heavenly Father, Thank You for this new year! Help us each day to pray even more for guidance and strength to make right decisions. Lead us in the love of Your Word in such a way that promotes a healthy life that we may excel in conduct. Broaden our expectations that we may see with the eyes of Your love beyond ourselves to the needs of others. Give us the ability to trust You with a childlike trust that grows more dear to us every day. Guide us with that perfect love that carries us the whole year through! Thank You again for all Your blessings that You bestow each and every day of the year! In Your Awesome Care Forever, Amen and Amen (a prayer in cherishing God’s love - personal and straight from the heart!) Dear Savior God, Your love is everlasting! Every minute of every day and night belongs to You. Thank You for each full day of life, keeping me alive that I may give my whole self to You. Hold my life in Your care always, as I look to You for strength each day. In the stillness of the night, remind me of Your presence through The Holy Spirit’s comfort with a peaceful sleep and rest that is needed for the new day ahead. As the sun rises, show me hope through Your Word in the mercy of Jesus. Search my heart and prick my spirit that I may be guided by Your way throughout the whole day. Let the light of Your love shine through me that I may be able to shine Your love on others. As the sun begins to set, grant me an awareness of Your mighty power that stirs my thoughts to stay centered on You that I may always be pleasing in Your sight. Thank You for days well spent, and nights well rested! With a very grateful heart full of Your love, Amen and Amen (a prayer from grateful hearts) Dear God, Thank You for each day of life that You bestow from Your Almighty Hand that comforts in stressful times. You turn events of potential harm into blessings we don’t deserve. You help us see just how blessed we are by sparing us from loss in a bleak situation. As we realize Your protection, stir us to understand with a keen awareness to place our full reliance on Your presence to strengthen our minds upon Your care. Open our hearts with a greater stability each and every day without our faith wavering. Thanks again for Your favor to enjoy life and rejoice each day in Your love! From the midst of our hearts toward You, Amen and Amen (a prayer for instruction in direction) Almighty God, You and You alone has every say over our hearts and our lives. We thank You for such care, for we are feeble in ourselves and do not know as much about situation as You, who knows all things. Help us to understand with hearing ears that we may comprehend our direction in You for purpose. Show us with seeing eyes Your lovingkindness that we do not deserve, yet long to feel. Lead us with willing feet to go by Your prompting wherever the path of Your goodness takes us on this road we call life. Hold us with gentle arms all the while giving us strength to bear the load that we have to carry in responsibility that the earthly tasks bear down on us. May the hands of Your presence touch our hearts to dry every tear we shed when the world is so indifferent. When we feel that we are on our last leg, hold us up that we may stand strong through all the pressures that bombards our thinking. In light of the truth which comprises Your whole existence which cannot be limited to time or space, let our mouths be both guarded and guided that every word said will be pleasing in Your sight! Thank You, Most Wonderful and Blessed Savior, who not only saves, but also for that provision of mercy that never runs short of Your grace! Thankfully Blessed and earnestly seeking, Amen and Amen (A Prayer for those feeling uncertainty) Dear Lord, Even in those times that we face circumstances that we question our own faith level, supply us with the capability to recall just how much You cherich our lives, and bring to our remembrance the numerous times that Your love has kept us through the times that we could not understand. Even when we feel as though we have failed You, let your mercy cover us with the peace You bestow to us. Even when we struggle to pray, soften our hearts with conviction that penetrates deep within that we may be led by Your Spirit in shaping our very existence as a blessing to others in their trials, although we may be experiencing tough times that others may not understand. May we always thank You in good times and times that are not so good, with Your Word as our guide to strengthen and comfort us to ponder the difference You make in our lives that really matters in the first place! With all respect to You forever, Amen and Amen, LaNora G. Means (a personal prayer for those in doubt) Dear Loving Father, You know every situation and every reason of all things. Help me to remember that You are in control and that I am to look to You and make my petitions before You for the answers to my problems. Help me to realize my frailness and that I am not to carry the burdens on my own; for, You are strong and I am weak! Examine my heart before You, and if there is anything in my life hindering my prayers, show me Holy Spirit that I may know. Prick my spirit if I need to repent of any wrong. Give me the strength to do what’s right. Set my mind upon Your Word, and penetrate my thoughts with Your Spirit that guides, comforts, and protects in every way. As You lead me on in this life, flood my heart with a faith that pushes every doubt out of my mind all the while trusting and listening to You that my faith will grow even more and more till the problems seem as nothing; because, You hold my every care and deal with every trial! With an adoring trust, Amen and Amen LaNora G. Means
