Father, I pray that You
would sanctify and cleanse me with the washing and water
by the Word so I may present myself holy and full of
Your glory, not having spot or wrinkle or any such
thing. May I become holy without blemish as I present
myself to You.
Father, I pray that I
will pursue love while at the same time earnestly desire
the spiritual gifts. May I embrace the days of my
preparation and receive the beauty treatments needed to
be presented before the King.
I pray that the bride of
Christ, will respond like Rebecca in selfless acts of
faith, worship, and humility and thus draw the servants
attention. Father, I pray Your Bride will respond like
Rebecca’s family and build a dwelling place for the Holy
Spirit – I call forth the camels of God to come forth
bearing the gifts needed to equip and adorn the Bride
for the Son. May faith arise in us, O God –I pray as the
Bride of Christ we will discern these anointed vessels
and back them as the come forth.
Lord, I activate my own
faith to receive a fresh impartation of the Gifts of the
Holy Spirit in my own life and thus be empowered in a
new manner. May I be so completely yielded to the Holy
Spirit that I may be completely obedient to Your every
Word. Your Word says, “….that the whole secret to
strength in conflict is using Your Word in the right
way.” May the passion of the Cross arise in me!
Lord, Your word says,
“Count it all joy when we fall into various trials
knowing that the testing of our faith produces patience.
You said, let patience have its perfect work, so that I
may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
Father, the pain of a
loved one who is angry at you; the pain of a daughter in
distress of marriage and the pain of a shattered knee
has been overwhelming to me. At times I feel like I just
want to shrink and hide from it all –it’s then I have
a hard time seeing Your perfect work in this situation
–but then when I come to You –I ask You to take this
yoke and give me Yours because I cannot handle it on my
own, its too hard for me. It is then You give me peace!
Then when my daughter
calls –I have the advise she needs, as I’ve talked it
over with the Heavenly Advisor. I thank You Lord that
you are perfecting me, making me complete, lacking for
nothing. I do pray that I learn to trust You always as
You are maturing me in Your Word.
Father, I give You
permission to do Your work in me for as long as You want
–to change me as deeply as You want to –prepare me, O
God – please open the door of joy in the midst of my
trial. Please make me into that person I need to be to
do the work You created me to do.
I also pray, O God –that
You would show me what You are trying to teach me though
this trial.
Father, I call on You
for wisdom, that You promised me in Your Word. Father, I
am determined to follow through in my journey with You.
Please enlighten me to Your Word, guide me through it.
May the message You want me to receive come to me like a
light switch being turned on. O, restore my soul and
lead me beside the still waters and may I enter into
Your Sanctuary and may I come to the water of
refreshment –rest – and peace and a new life in Jesus.
“ God is light and in Him is no darkness at all” Oh, bid
me to come into Your light! Lord may Your Light enter
all those dark areas of my life revealing the things I
need to repent of and the things I need to let go of. I
ask You for Your love, forgiveness and Your healing, O
God, so that I may come up higher. O God –Father, I
consecrate myself to You, and I surrender all my dreams
to You
Lord, make me a river of blessing to others.
Lord, I am ready to seem
ridiculous, take risks, feel weak, and small so Your
power and goodness will be made clear to me and others.
Lord, I will not ask You to remove my giants, instead I
want to advance toward every giant between You and my
dreams of serving You.
Lord, Your Word says,
“the eyes of the Lord run to and fro though-out the
whole earth to show Yourself strong on behalf of those
whose heart is loyal to You.” O God, I pray that I will
not fail You when Your eyes rest on me. I pray that my
faith in You will grow stronger and stronger each day.
In Jesus name, I pray.
