Heavenly Father, I know that Your ways and understanding are so far removed from my own that I come before You now to ask that You would teach me Your ways, so that I may align my will to Your will and my prayers to the desires of Your heart. Lord, I pray that I may seek Your ways, think Your thoughts that You would have me think and live the life that You would have me to live.

Lord, as I pass through life, everything that I see around me of the way the world operates and the means that men use to accomplish success is diametrically opposed to all that Your Word calls us to be. Father, I know that I could so easily be swept into this way of thinking and behaving, so teach me Your ways, give me an understanding of all that You would have me do and show me the way that You would have me go.

Lord, I know that accumulated wealth, power and fame is so often what the world views as successful, and there is one part of me that would like all three, but I also have witnessed a harvest of poverty that this triad of success produces in the lives of those that pursue this pathway, so Lord keep my desires for success purified in the fires of Your will for my life. Keep me from seeking after a mess of potage when You have prepared a feast for me in the heavenly realm. Lord, I ask that my life may glorify Your name, not only in this age but in the ages to come. I ask this in Jesus' name,

Amen.

Heavenly Father, You have promised that when we dwell in the secret place of the most High and shelter under the shadow of Your wings, You will guard and guide us, protect us and keep us, for You are our refuge and our fortress and You alone are the one in Whom we place our trust.

Thank You, Lord, that no matter where I go Your hand leads me, and Your right arm upholds me, for You are before me and behind me, You are above me and below me, You are at my right hand and also at my left. And You are within me, indwelling in my heart by the power of Your Holy Spirit, Who is my ever present Help in time of trouble.

Father, I pray that You would protect me and my family from all the evils that are lurking nearby and from those that would seek to harm us. Uphold us and keep us safe from all the evils that encircle our lives. Put Your hedge of protection and safety around us we pray, and place a guard at our doors and protects us from all that pass by our gate. And Father, keep our hearts from fear but rather, fill us to overflowing with Your perfect peace that passes all understanding. Thank You, that You are indeed our refuge and strength. You are that ever present Help in time of trouble, therefore in Your strength we will not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the middle of the sea, for You are with us wherever we go. Thank You in Jesus' name,

Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, You are my rock and my fortress, my hope and my shield. You are the One in Whom I rest and in Whom I trust, and I pray that throughout this coming day, You would encircle me in Your loving care and continue to protect me and all those I love, from the wiles of the enemy.

Protect us from the dangers of the day and the evils of the night. Thank You that You have promised to deliver us from “the snare of the fowler, and from any deadly pestilences”. Thank You that You are able to “cover us with Your feathers,” and lift us up on eagles wings. Thank You that You are our shield and our rampart.

Forgive me Lord, for those times when my faith wears thin and I try to sort things out in my own strength. Help me to place my complete trust in Your willingness and ability to save and protect us from all that would harm or destroy. Help me Father God, to learn to rest in You from this day forward, knowing that You are in control of my life and that the lives of those I love are safe in Your hands. In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.

Heavenly Father, thank You that I am Your blood-bought child, and that nothing can snatch me from Your hand, for You are my Saviour and I have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Your dear Son, Who is the light of the world. Thank You, that I have been forgiven of my sins and covered in Christ’s own righteousness, and thank You that I have been baptised into Christ and set free from slavery to sin and Satan, for which I praise and thank Your holy name.

But Lord, I also know that Satan is a roaring lion who prowls around seeking whom he may devour, and Lord, I know that he truly is the evil prince of darkness, who delights to disguise himself as an angel of light and seeks to deceive many people. Lord, I understand also that He seeks to destroy the faith of many and to deceive others into false teachings and doctrines of demons as he sows seeds of disruptive deceit and evil into the hearts and lives of many. But Father, I thank You that greater is He that is in me that he that is in the world. Thank You, that by the blood of Christ He is a defeated enemy. But Lord, I pray that You would protect me and those I love from His fiery darts and evil attacks. Enable me to resist Him and all His deceptive ploys, and may I walk in spirit and truth, covered by the blood of Jesus my Saviour and remain safe in Him, in Whose name I pray,

Amen.

Dear Lord Jesus, I bring my dear friend to You, who has been such a good support throughout much of my Christian life, but Lord they have started to have some serious health problems that are related to obesity, and even find difficulty in walking and carrying out some of the simple, everyday tasks of life. I know that they would like to slim down, and indeed are trying, but as they get older and less mobile, the task of losing weight is becoming much harder for them.

I lift them up to You now, and ask that in Your grace You would minister to their need to lose weight. They know that their weight is not truly honouring to You, and so I pray that You would minister to their point of need, and if necessary give them a wake-up call to take more diligent care of their body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

You know that they have not only been a support to me in my Christian walk, but in the lives of many other people, but this excessive weight problem is putting serious limitations on their life and could result in them becoming immobile. In Your grace, minister into this need. I ask this in Jesus' name,

Amen.

Lord God of Hope, I come to You today in deepest grief and with such sadness of heart at the sudden death of such a beloved friend, who was snatched away from us, in such a tragic way.

Lord, I know that our times are in Your hands, but the shock and sadness that the life of this precious person, whom we all love so dearly, was cut short in a so distressing way, is filling all our hearts with deep pain and sorrow.

Be our comfort in this time of loss, and uphold all that are in pain today, knowing that You are our God of comfort and the Great Comforter Who comforts all that are hurting. Be especially close to the family and those that were nearest and dearest. Give them Your peace and assurance that You are with them throughout all their pain, and pour the light of Your love into their hurting hearts. In Jesus' name, 

Amen.

Thank You, Father, that you are interested in all the affairs of the lives and futures of all Your children, and Lord I bring before You my dear friends who are seeking to sell their home. I pray that they will cast all their cares upon You and not to become anxious about selling their home, knowing that You are in control of every part of their life. Help them to maintain their trust in You at all times, knowing that selling a house in this present economic climate can become quite a worry, when we do not cast all our burdens upon You.

Help them not to be anxious about anything, but in prayer and supplication may they present their petitions before Your throne of grace and make their needs known to You, with thanksgiving in their hearts, knowing that You are the One Who alone directs our lives and knows the desires and needs of our hearts and lives.

Maintain their trust in You I pray, throughout the entire house sale, and I pray that Your hand of blessing would continue to be on them, leading and guiding them in the decisions they have to make in the days that lie ahead. In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.

Loving Heavenly Father, we bring before You our dear friends who are having to sell their home and move elsewhere, and we pray Lord that You would be with them every step of the way as they go through the difficult and distressing process of selling their home in such a stagnant housing market.

Give them we pray, Your grace and peace to face all that they need to do in selling their home, and we thank You Lord that they are Your children and that their lives are in Your hands too. We thank You that our dear friends know and love You, and we pray that as they prepare to move to a different place that You would be very close to them, to lead and to guide in every aspect of this house-sale.

We pray Father, that You would bring the right people into their path who need to purchase their home, and that You would be instrumental in every step that they need to take in the process of selling their house.

Lord, You were the One that told Jeremiah to buy a property in a non-existent housing market, and we trust You to lead and guide our friends as You did Jeremiah. Give them Your peace in their hearts and let them know that You are right in the middle of their house-sale.In Jesus' name we pray,

Loving Lord, I am single and would love to have a boyfriend and to eventually get married, for You created men and women to live together and to cleave to each other, in the bond of loving unity. But Lord I want to be wise in my choices, for I know that You have scheduled every day of my life and this sort of union needs to be rooted in Your love and grounded on true biblical principles, and these days Lord, it is increasingly difficult to find men who love You with a godly love.

Lord, it is my desire to seek You over this matter of a boyfriend with all my heart, to seek You first and to leave my life entirely in Your hands, knowing You will prepare both my heart and that of my future boyfriend/spouse as is best for me and for him.

Help me not to follow my own feelings and emotions, which I know can be false and can often impede true wisdom, but rather may I rest in You entirely, knowing that at the right time and in the right way You will bring the right man of God into my life, so that together we may love and serve You as You would choose.

Help me to be patient and gracious in my waiting, and help me to love and trust You more and more. I pray that You would prepare us both for that time when You draw us together in a loving relationship, both in Your timing and in Your perfect way. In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.

Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for this wonderful guy You have brought into my life. Thank You for hearing my prayer, and for preparing this man to come into my life at just the right time. I praise You for Your graciousness in hearing my heart cry, and for this wonderful answer to prayer.

Thank You for His love for You, for His desire to know You more and to grow in grace and mature in the Christian faith. Oh Lord, it is amazing to realise how You have gone before and prepared both him and me for this meeting of our hearts.

Lead and guide him today I pray, and in the days that lie ahead. Endow him with the qualities of spiritual leadership and godly wisdom, and pour into his heart the peace and love that only comes from You. Keep him I pray, from the wiles of the evil one and may he continue to walk in integrity and faithfulness, to grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, with every passing day.

Give him courage to stand fast in the faith and keep him from spiritual pride, but rather give him a discerning heart, to know what is good and to shun what is evil. Fill his mouth and his heart with the word of God and may he learn more and more to walk humbly before You and to trust You in all areas of life.

Thank You, Lord, for Your guidance thus far. May we walk together in godly love and respect, and in the godly harmony and grace that only comes to those that seek You first in every area of life.

Praise Your name for answered prayer. Keep me ever humble before Your throne of grace. In Jesus' name I pray,

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that one day You would bring into my life a boyfriend that is walking with You, a man of God that loves You with all his heart, a man that is growing in grace and maturing in the Christian faith, for Lord I long to one day be married to a man who will be my spiritual covering, a man who will love me as Christ loved the Church, my spiritual leader and adviser.

I pray that You will bring the right man into my life and that You would prepare both our hearts in the way of godliness and Christian love, so that we may one day walk in spirit and truth in the bond of love.

Lord, I know that we are not to be unequally yoked together in our relationships and marriages, that we are to be on the same spiritual level with the same love of Jesus and the same love of truth, and so I pray that You would bring into my life a man that loves You and is maturing in the faith, and who is himself seeking to follow Your guidance in the matter of his own future relationship and marriage.

I pray that You would bring into my life the right boyfriend, a future husband who will guide me and our family to live together in the manner that You have instituted in Your Word, and guard me I pray, from making the wrong decisions based on my feelings rather than Your leading. Into Your hands I entrust my future life to You. I ask this in Jesus' name,

Heavenly Father, there are so many examples of men and women in the Bible who trusted You in the midst of their pain and problems and You always were there to keep them in the face of their trials and bring them through to victory.

As I consider the difficulties my friend has with the pain their stiff limbs and arthritic joints brings, I think of Joseph who had to go through so much unjust treatment during His time in Egypt, of David who was relentlessly pursued by His enemies and Daniel, who was thrown to the lions for maintaining His faith in You.

Although my friend is not facing the sorts of difficulties these men had to endure, the pain they are going through makes it difficult to cope and physically exhausting. Uphold them with Your righteous hand and sustain them in the midst of their trials.

Help them to learn the lesson of faith and hope and trust in You, in spite of the suffering they are going through, and help them never to forget that You have promised to be with them always – even to the end of the age. Thank You that You are always with us all, and  have promised never to leave us nor forsake us... and bring them the joy of Your salvation we pray,

Amen

Heavenly Father, I have heard of a dear friend who has become an alcoholic – sadly they drifted into this lifestyle through social drinking, but now it has become habitual and I realise that this is beginning to have a serious impact on their life, and needs to be addressed and dealt with as a matter of urgency.

Lord I am not sure what I do, which is why I am coming to You to ask for Your wisdom and guidance. I am not sure if I should talk to them about this issue or simply keep them covered in prayer… but I do ask for You to intervene in their life and cause them to see the tremendous devastation that is starting to happen.. both in their own lives and in the lives of those around them.

Lead and guide me to say or do what is right and pleasing in Your eyes. Let me not be judgemental but may I be used by You to help my friend to leave this alcoholism behind. May they see the serious consequences that their drinking habit in causing and draw them back into a close relationship with Yourself – in Jesus name I pray,

Heavenly Lord, I lift up my girl-friend to You today, knowing that over the past weeks and months she has been getting increasingly depressed, and it seems that this depression is getting a tight hold on her whole personality and thinking. Lord, she has changed from being relaxed and seemingly happy to becoming moody and depressed.

Father, I pray that You would search her heart to discover what is at the root of the problems, and restore to her the joy she used to have in You.

Dear Lord Jesus, I come to You with a heart broken and full of sadness, knowing that my dear friend has gradually been drawn back into the world and seems to have forgotten the commitment that they made to Christ some time ago, and all that He did at Calvary to save us from our sins.

Father, I neither know what to say or what to do to help, but we seem to be drifting further and further apart, almost to the point that there is a barrier erected between us. Oh Lord, my heart is so sad and I ask You in Your grace and mercy to help in this time of need. Look down on this dear friend and I pray that you would reach down and turn their hearts back to You.

Lord, I know that this must grieve Your heart so much more than mine and so, by Your grace, I pray that whatever it takes that You would draw them back to Yourself. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, who died that we both might live, bring back this straying sheep to Your fold and into Your arms of love. In Jesus' name,

Dear God, You are the giver of life and health and You are the healer of the sick and the suffering. I pray for a dear friend who is in distress with ill-health today, and pray that You would help them to come to a full recovery and restore them to wholeness, health and strength.

Lord, I do ask that You would meet my friend at their point of need, not only in their physical suffering but also in their spiritual sickness. Lord, my dear friend not only needs recovery of their physical health but recovery of their spiritual lack and the emotional pain that seems to be making their physical problem so much worse.

Administer all Your gifts of health and healing for body and mind I pray, and multiply Your blessings and grace towards them so that they may be fully restored and come to a deeper knowledge and understanding of You. In Jesus' name,

Father, you know all the little fears and troubles that can flood the mind of a young child in unfamiliar surroundings, and I pray that you would give me the wisdom to prepare my little one beforehand so that they are not faced with any unforeseen events for which they have not been prepared and which could frighten them. Lord, I do ask that You would be close by, for they have been taught from being very young to trust You and to tell you the things that scare or confuse them. Lord, I pray especially during these early days, that they will pass with no problems, but that You would guard their little heart and be an ever present help throughout the whole day.

I pray that they may be quick to identify and deal with any of the little problems that may arise during the day, knowing that they can so quickly become mountains in the mind of a child, unless they are dealt with quickly and quietly.

Heavenly Father Who caused all the Holy Scriptures to be written for our learning, open the eyes of the fathers of Christian families everywhere to their God-given position of leadership in their own family unit. Father, we know that the family unit is the foundation upon which the truth of Your laws are founded, and that a family that prays together and lifts up the Lord Jesus Christ into His rightful position in each of their heart, is the family that functions in godly unity and has it's priorities secured in You.

May the foundation upon which Christian marriage and the family unit are established, remain as firmly rooted in the homes of believers today as it was when God first walked with Adam in the garden, in the cool of the evening, and ordained that a man and his wife should become one flesh and together they should live in the bond of unity and love, and be fruitful in spirit and in deed.

Help the men who are husbands and fathers of Christian families today to become the godly men they were created to be, and may they start to re-establish their God-ordained position as head of their own families, and become men who will courageously lead their wives and children into deeper spiritual knowledge and understanding of their Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ, in Whose name we pray,

Loving God, there are times when the burdens I carry and the disappointments that come my way seem too much to bear. Lord, my daily tasks seem to mount up with every passing week, and however much I manage to get done I never seem to do all that I ought to do. I find myself stressing out and worrying about all the things that I have left undone.

I know that this is not the way that the Christian life should be lived, and although I have heard people preach on living in a way that is pleasing to You, I never seem to manage to live that way myself. Lord, if I am honest I don’t really understand how to live a life that is pleasing to You, even though I have tried so very hard.

Help me to do what the Bible says, to cast all my burdens on You and to let You be my full sufficiency. When the disappointments in my life seem to be piling up all around me, help me to trust You with all my heart and not lean on my own understanding, or rely on myself. Help me to seek You first, knowing that all the other things will be added unto me. Help me to trust You instead of trusting in myself. 

Lord, You have promised to guide all Your children in all truth. Teach me Your truth of abiding in You and trusting in Your Word. I ask this in the name of Jesus,

Father, take my life I pray, and use it as You will. I choose today to surrender my all to You. You know the thoughts of my heart, and I have not come to this decision lightly, but know that this must be the path that I take from now on.

Father, I pray that moment by moment I may be looking to You. I pray that I may in-breathe Your will for my life through the Word of God and out-breath Your blessing to others, whom You may choose to place in my path.

Lord, I know that it is a dangerous prayer, but I ask that You do whatever it takes for me to live entirely in Your will and to be able to say in every circumstance of my life, “Your will be done and not mine”. Look deeply into the very core of my being and root out all things in me that are displeasing to You, Lord.

Search out my heart and change me into the person that You desire met to be, whatever it takes. May I decrease in my importance and desires until I am nothing, so that You may increase in every area of my life until You become my all in all.

Lord, today I choose to surrender my whole life to You and pray that whatever the cost, You would take full control of all that I am and all that You want me to be, from this point on.

Help me Lord Jesus, to keep my whole focus on You. Life is becoming so hard and difficult that at times it is not easy to keep the eyes of my heart looking to Jesus as I know I should, for without Him, I can do nothing. At times Lord, I feel that I am losing my way in life, but I know that as I rest in You, I will hear the gentle promptings from Your Spirit saying, “this is the way – walk in it…”

Sometimes Lord, I confess that when things get tough, I try in my own strength to sort out my own problems, and work out what I ought to do myself, without turning to You first,  and inevitably I seem to make the wrong choice. I know that You have a plan for my life, and I also know that living in this world is not easy, but I know that my sufficiency is in You and that Your strength is made perfect as I rest in You. Help me to apply this truth in my life.

Guide me, Lord, through all the obstacles of life, and help me with the many choices I have to make on a daily basis. May I truly learn to look to You as my Guide and Strength. In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.
