Dear Heavenly Father, You have blessed me with much abundance of wealth, and I do thank You for all that You have so graciously provided for me. Lord, I want to thank You with all my heart and ask that give me great wisdom to know how best to use this wealth, that I believe has been entrusted to me from Your gracious hand, and for which I praise and thank You. Help me not to be selfish in the use of my wealth and also I pray that You would prevent me not to be foolish either, for I believe that this is a resource that can be used for both good and evil. Lord, I pray that You would help me to use this abundance that You have lovingly bestowed on me, wisely and to Your greater glory. Lord, I know that there are many people who seek out wealthy folk with a wrong intention and I ask that You would give me great discernment with all those whom I meet. Give me wisdom Lord, to use my wealth wisely. In Jesus' name, Amen. Source: https://www.tolulopeilori.com |
Father, I know that we are not promised wealth in Your Word, indeed Lord, as I read Scripture it appears that the Bible warns against seeking after wealth and the accumulation of wealth, and abhors all forms of dishonest practices, and yet in this world it seems that we are encouraged to seek after wealth and too often we hear preachers telling us that wealth is a sign of God’s favour, while poverty is a sign of His displeasure. Keep me Lord, from poverty and help me Lord, to be content with what You have given me and thankful in all situations in which I find myself. Keep me from becoming embroiled in the pursuit of wealth, for I know that I could all to easily be enticed into seeking after wealth at the expense of my spiritual growth. Father, I want to follow Your call to lay up treasure in heaven and not get swept into the world’s thinking, for I truly believe that unless one is very careful and wise, wealth can become a thorn in the flesh and begin to be a master instead of a servant. Keep me Lord, with my eyes heavenward, knowing that my future lies in the reward in heaven and not the wealth of this world system. Provide all I need and may I develop an attitude of gratitude for all that You have so graciously provided for me as I sojourn in this world and as I wait for that day when You will call me home to be with You for ever. Thank you in Jesus' name, Amen. Source: https://www.tolulopeilori.com |
Heavenly Father, I want to thank You for Your grace and mercy to me and towards all people. Lord, I hesitate to approach You on the subject of wealth, for Lord I know that there is much abuse of wealth, not only in the acquiring and accumulating it, through suspect ways or shady means, but in particular in praying to You for to provide wealth, especially by those who lead people astray - often suggesting the use of a prayer formula, to effectively twist Your arm to provide the prosperity they think they deserve, rather than seeking for You for the provision they really need. Lord, as I come to You with my request, I pray that You would guide my prayers with wisdom as I pray to You for “wealth.” Lord, I do not mean an obscene amount of wealth, but rather that You would provide me with sufficient means so that I do not become discouraged with my poverty and lack. Lord, I know that You have promised to provide for the needs all Your children, but I find myself in a situation where I hardly know which way to turn regarding my finances. And the temptation to acquire some money in an ungodly way or by dishonest means is ever before me. Lord, there is a verse in the Bible where someone prays, “Give me neither poverty nor riches. Lord, I too come before You to ask that You would graciously supply me with sufficient wealth, but also I pray that You would keep me from the greedy attitude that is so prevalent with those who have great abundance. Lord, in all things I lay myself in humility at You feet, knowing that I am helpless to properly provide for my needs and those of my family. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Heavenly Father, we are undergoing the worse housing crisis in living memory and I know that none of us are exempt from the possibility of our homes being forcibly taken away from us due to foreclosures, mounting debt, natural disasters, banking collapses and even from unscrupulous people and unethical governments. I grieve for all who have lost their home in one way or another, or who are going through the process of having their home ripped away from them and their lives turned upside down. Lord God, You are our Provider and You have promised us Your protection and provision, and we ask that You would look down in pity and mercy on all who are facing the loss of their homes. We pray that You would undertake in a wonderful way to intervene in their lives, and provide for their individual needs. We pray Your blessing on our own home and family, and place our own lives and futures into Your gracious hands. May we look to You in every eventuality of life, praising You for Your goodness and and depending on You in all things in the difficult days that lie ahead. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Loving Heavenly Father, I lift my hands up to You in gratitude for my home and for the family, into which You have so lovingly placed me. You Lord, have filled our home with so many blessings. And even when times have been tough and the circumstances of life have been very difficult, You have blessed me with such a loving family, which is becoming more and more of a blessing with each passing day. How I thank You Lord Jesus, and bless Your holy name. Thank You, Lord, for my parents who have been so supportive of me, not only in my early years, but also as I have grown older. I pray Your blessing on both of them and also on the wider family too, my aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters, nephews, nieces, cousins and grandparents. All of whom have been a blessing in their own special way. I especially thank You for my spouse and the joy of seeing our own children born into the world and growing up into responsible adults. And Lord, for the miracle of seeing the birth of my own precious grandchildren. What a joy this has been, and how I praise You for all Your goodness and mercy to me. Lord, thank You for all those who are in the wider body of Christ, my brothers and sisters around the world, who have become such and important part of my eternal family. Thank You for the wonderful joy of knowing that we will all be united with You in love in heavenly places in the days to come, when we are given our glorified bodies in the eternal state. There are no words that are sufficient to express the gratitude I have Lord, but thank You. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Source: https://www.tolulopeilori.com |
Heavenly Father, You are the God of peace and love, and we pray that Your perfect peace would fill our hearts and our home and that Your gracious love would surround our family so that we may be united together in love, and one with You. Bind us together we pray, and may Your joy unite us in sweet fellowship with one another and with You. Give us Your hope in our hearts and bless all who visit this home. Thank You for providing all that we need according to Your riches in glory, and keep us from holding on too tightly to the material things of this world, knowing that You have prepared a heavenly home for all that are in the family of God. May Your blessing rest upon us and upon our home not only today but in the days to come, until You come to take us to be with Yourself, forever. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Loving Lord, I have a lot of money problems and outstanding bills and am not able to pay for all the repairs that are needed on my home to keep it secure. Lord, I know that You brought us to this place and I pray that in Your grace, You would keep the infrastructure of my home secure, until the finances can be found to do the necessary repairs. Lord, protect the walls and the roof of my home, its doors and its window, and I pray that You would keep us warm as winter approaches and prevent anything from happening that will cause us additional expense. Father, I know that I have not power to do this, but I know that You are a God Who cares for each of Your children. I pray that by Your grace You would grant this request. Lord, I know that Your Word is true. Help me to maintain my trust in Your promise to help in time of need. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Source: https://www.tolulopeilori.com |

Heavenly Father, I come to You because I am facing some money problems and yet I know that more money is not the answer to the difficulties that I face, but a closer walk with You. Forgive me Lord, for I think that I have spent too much time worrying about my finances and what I am going to do and how I am going to manage, as prices climb higher each day, without giving serious consideration that I should seek You first and Your righteousness, knowing that all these things will be added unto me. Help me Father, to get my financial worries in the right perspective and to fix my eyes upon Jesus, knowing that You know everything we need before we even ask You. Please draw me back into right relationship with Yourself, for I am trusting in You, Amen. Source: https://www.tolulopeilori.com |
Loving Lord, You and You alone are the source of my supply and I come to You today. Please Lord, hear my prayer and help me address the money worries that I am currently facing. Equip me Lord to put bread on the table and feed my children, and I ask that You give me the strength and skill to find work so that we do not lose our home or belongings. Thank You, Lord, Amen.

Heavenly Father, You have promised to supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus, and I come to You today as I am facing some difficult financial times and am asking You to furnish me with both the finances I need, and Your sufficient grace to go through this difficult time in my life. Father, as I face this time of financial uncertainly I know that my only sure foundation is Christ, and I pray that I may rest securely in Him, and depend on Him in all things. Restore to me the joy of my salvation I pray, knowing that His grace is sufficient to see me through this time of trial for His strength is made perfect in my weakness. Into Your hands I place my request for Your grace in this time of financial difficult. This I pray in Jesus' name, Amen. Source: https://www.tolulopeilori.com |
Dear God, help me I pray to meet all the bills that I have to pay. My rent and household bills just seem to spiral up and I have nothing more. I feel at times that my purse has holes in it as prices seem to get higher and higher. I ask that You Lord would help and support me as I face this most difficult time in my life. Lord, You have promised to be with us in all the problems of life and I pray that You will guide me and give me wisdom as I face this fraught financial time. Provide for all our needs, dear God as You have promised, and keep me Lord from worry, but rather help me to rest my trust in You. Thank You, Lord, for listening. Amen.

Loving Heavenly Father, I am really struggling in my business today. The economic climate has caused my thriving little enterprise to come to an almost standstill and I am finding that I am not in a position to pay some of my creditors. What is equally concerning is that a number of people owe money to me, but are withholding their payments, as they too are struggling. Lord, I have no help but You and I thank You for all that You have provided so generously for me in the past. I come to You today and pray that in Your grace, You would bring a financial breakthrough to my struggling business, so that I will not go into debt while also being in a position to honour the payments that I too need to make. Lord, into Your hands I commit all these difficulties to You. I am trusting in You Father. Lord, a verse in Psalm 37 comes to my mind today, "I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread." Lord, this is my testimony too. You have been very gracious to me throughout all my life, and I will trust You in this too. Lord, into Your hands I commit my future. Amen. Source: https://www.tolulopeilori.com |
Heavenly Father, at this festive season I pray that the real meaning of Christmas will not be missed, and that the precious truth that was given to the shepherds and sung by the angels, will become a reality in the hearts and lives of many people this year. As we prepare for this lovely season of the year and all the joy that it brings with it, help us not to forget that Christ was born for a purpose. And that as we share our gifts one with the other, may we remember the wonderful gift of grace that was sent into the world 2000 years ago. As we listen to the Scripture readings and rejoice over the good news that was proclaimed that holy night, let us not forget to thank You for Your gift of grace in the Person of Christ Jesus, knowing that He was sent to earth so that by believing on Him we could go to heaven. Thank You, Father, that in Christ You made all the good and necessary preparation for sinners to be made righteous through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus, by first sending Him at the appointed time to be born into a race of sinners. May we seek to prepare our hearts for our future heavenly home, knowing that our citizenship is in heaven, and may we spend this Christmas period reflecting on the wonderful truth that Christ Jesus was born into the world to save sinners, like me, for which I praise Your holy name. In Jesus' name, Amen. Source: https://www.tolulopeilori.com |
Thank You dear Heavenly Father, for sending the only begotten and eternal Son of Your love, the Lord Jesus Christ, to be born as a tiny baby in such humble conditions, so that the fallen race of mankind could be redeemed from their sin and be made sons and daughters of the Most High God, through faith in His name. How I bless Your holy name for all the goodness and loving kindness that You have extended to me and to all the fallen race of humanity. Thank You that Jesus set aside His glory to be dressed in human flesh so that in the fullness of time, those that trust in His name might be made Your sons and daughters and joint-heirs with Christ Himself. Thank You, that You never gave up on mankind but have allowed us to regain fellowship with Yourself, simply by grace through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord. Give all of us, I pray the light of Your love in our hearts this Christmas time and the opportunity to tell of the good news of the gospel of Christ to those that are perishing. Draw many into Your kingdom I pray, so that Your name may be glorified and to You be all the praise and honour and glory and thanks, for You alone are worthy. Amen.

Heavenly Father, Christmas-time is such a blessed season of the year as we remember the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ in a stable in Bethlehem, and how we thank You for giving Your only begotten Son to be born into this world, so that by His death and resurrection, He could become our Saviour, and we could become Your children. Thank You for the wonderful hope that the Christmas message instils into each of our hearts, and the glorious message of the gospel of peace. Peace with God to all Who believe in His name and the peace with God for all who have become Your children. Help us never to minimise the importance of that time when as our great, eternal Creator God, You broke into human history and became God incarnate, identifying with a race of fallen men, by taking on a body the human flesh, so that You could empathise with out frailty and learn obedience by the things that You suffered. Lord, I thanks You from the bottom of my heart for all Your goodness and grace to us, and for loving us so much that You chose to be born into our race so that we might be identified with Your righteousness. Praise Your holy name. Amen. Source: https://www.tolulopeilori.com |
Thank You, Father, that Your times and seasons are pre-ordained and that You sent Your only begotten Son to be born of a woman, so that at the appointed hour He could be made sin for our sins, and in so doing become the propitiation for the sins of all mankind. Thank You, that in the eternal council chambers of the almighty Godhead, You devised a perfect plan that would save mankind from eternal separation from You, which required that the eternal Son of the Father became flesh and was conceived and born of a virgin. Lord, we rejoice at the Christmas story and all the wondrous glory that we see unfolded in the manger scene in the little town of Bethlehem, and in the fields, while shepherds watched their flocks by night. We glory at the good news of great joy that was proclaimed by the angel of the Lord, and we are amazed to behold a heavenly choir of angelic beings singing,"glory to God in the highest." We praise Your name for the visit of the wise men from the east and we grieve at the satanic atrocity that was perpetrated by king Herod on innocent children. But most of all, we humbly kneel before Your throne of grace when we understand that the baby lying in a manger must one day be crucified to the cruel cross, so that our sins could be forgiven. Father, thank You for sending Jesus to be born so that He could die for our sins. In His name we pray, Amen. Source: https://www.tolulopeilori.com |
Thank You, Lord, that You are my Father and I am Your child. Thank You that I have been washed clean and transferred into Your kingdom of light. Lord, I know that in this world we will have tribulation, but I thank You that You have overcome the world. Help me never to forget these important truths, even when times are tough and when difficulties and irritations seem to mount up on every side. Lord, I bring You the thing that is weighing heavily on my heart at this moment, my situation at work is becoming so difficult. I am so grateful for the job which I know was from You, and for which I thank You with all my heart, but Father I am not utilising the training and talents, with which You have equipped me, and I ask that in Your grace You would lift me out of this demoralising position and open a door so that I may pursue the career for which I have been trained. Lord, should it be Your will that I remain in this job, please give me the grace to continue on, for I know that Your grace is sufficient. Keep me ever looking to Jesus, knowing that this world is not my home, and may I be used to Your praise and glory in whatever place I find myself. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Dear Heavenly Lord, I thank You for my place of work and I come to You today to lift up each of my friends at work in prayer to You. Lord, I know that there is nothing that is a mistake or a coincidence in Your economy and I believe that You have placed me there for a specific purpose. Help me to find that purpose out, in the lives of all with whom I work. Help me Lord, to demonstrate Your grace and friendliness towards my friends at work and may I conduct myself in a godly and friendly manner towards each and every one. Help me also to be able to share Your Word at my work and be ready and willing to give an answer for what I believe. Lord, You know each of these friends at work so much better than I do and You know the hurts and the pain that each one is carrying. Put Your words in my mouth so that I may speak into whatever situation is heavy on their heart, and may You use my simple witness to speak words of comfort and help to those in need. And Lord, I pray that Jesus Himself may be glorified in my life, such that many come to see their need of Jesus as their Saviour, in Whose name I pray, Amen. Source: https://www.tolulopeilori.com |

Dear Lord, I have been hurt very deeply by someone who I thought truly loved me, and we wanted to spend our lives together, but they have caused me deep pain and left my emotions in tatters. Lord, at times I have felt that my heart would break and have been finding it very difficult to come to terms with the fact that love has failed. Restore my brokenness I pray, and send Your comfort and strength into my soul, as I try to pick up the pieces of my brokenness and begin to face the future once again. Lord, I know that I cannot do this in my own strength, but only as You carry me in Your loving arms and pour Your healing and comfort into my broken soul. Help me to leave this disappointing time of sadness behind and look to a future with fresh hope and expectation, knowing that in You is the fullness of joy and from You alone comes the only true love that can fully satisfy the heart that is hungry for love. I pray that I may allow the healing process of Your love to begin to mend my brokenness, so that in Your time and in Your way You would bring the person of Your choice into to my life, for You are the Lord of Love, and have given us the capacity to love others and to be loved by them. Help me to pray, "Thy will be done," in this area of my life and teach me how to love You as I ought, and give me the capacity to love others in the same way that You have loved me. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Source: https://www.tolulopeilori.com |
Dear Lord, I pray that I may love others with a Christ-like love, and that I may show compassion on those who live in my neighbourhood. Father, I know that I need Your love and Your patience in this area as I have some quite difficult neighbours who are causing some problems here. Lord, change my heart to a heart that loves as You loved. Change my attitude to look with compassion on my neighbours, rather than with irritation of distain. Help me to view them as You do, dead in their trespasses and sins, estranged from God and in need of a Saviour. Lord, help me to take each negative thought that I have about them captive, the moment that it arises in my heart. I know that this is pleasing to You and I know that this is what You desire of all Your children. Create in me a heart of gentle love and kind compassion and show me how I may witness of Your love, both with my actions as well as my words. Keep me from a self-righteous attitude towards them, for I know that I too was once estranged from You and in Your grace and mercy You picked me up and saved me. Father, I pray that each one may come to a saving faith in You and that You would change me to be the neighbour that You would have me be. I ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Heavenly Father, we only have to look to the church at Ephesus to see how easy it is for Christians, both individually and corporately, to leave our first love and to allow the love that we had for You and for others, to wear thin and to grow cold. Father, forgive us for the way that we have allowed this to happen throughout the whole Body of Christ, which has all too often become a place to criticise our brethren or slander others who do not think exactly as we do. Revive us Lord, and may the love that so permeated the early church, where we discover that Christians loved in thought word and deed, begin to spread once again throughout the Body of true believers. May we return to a time when love within the Church of God begins to shine forth, as we become salt and light to a needy world. Forgive us Father, that our love for You and the Lord Jesus has worn so thin. Rekindle a fire of love that sweeps through the Church today, so that in the essentials of our faith we may have unity, in the inessential things we may display liberty, and in all areas of our Christian life may we demonstrate true godly love. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen. Source: https://www.tolulopeilori.com |
Heavenly Father, I thank You for my family and bless You that You placed me in this home. Thank You for the parents You gave me and the friends and family that You have placed in my life. Help us to draw ever closer to each other in the bond of love and fellowship, and may You become the central focus of our home, our hearts and our family more and more with every passing day. And I pray that the influence of Your love and grace in our lives, will reach out to all with whom we have to do. May our hearts be united in love for You and may there be Christian harmony, one with the other. Help us to develop more and more a biblical perspective in our home, serving and being served, loving and being loved and looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, the unseen guest at every meal and the silent visitor to every conversation. Help us to be ‘real’ in our conversation and honest in our hopes and fears, and help us to listen to each other with genuine interest and encouragement. Develop in us the same mind that was in Christ Jesus, and may we learn to live in godly harmony together, not being selfish or self-important but gracious, courteous and thinking of the needs of others before our own, and Lord, may Jesus be welcome into our home every moment of the day. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen. Source: https://www.tolulopeilori.com |
Heavenly Father, I have fallen in and out of love with so many people and yet in my heart, I know that You have created us to love and to be loved, with a deep and lasting love that is a mirror of the depth of love that Christ has for the Church. Father, You have demonstrated to us, through the Lord Jesus Christ, the tremendous depth of love that You desire in each of Your children, a love that flows from You to us, a love that should flow through us to others. Develop in me the depth of love that loves as Christ loved. And Lord, I pray that I may be permitted to share that love with a true and lasting soul-mate. Father, I have fallen in and out of love before, but I pray that I may develop a new and extraordinary depth of love that comes only through You, so that at the right time You would bring into my life that kindred-sprit and soul-mate, whose love for me is only exceeded by their love of You.

It thrills me to talk of Jesus with others, and gossip the gospel of grace, but I often find that I cant recall biblical truths that I have been taught and scriptural references that I have read. Lord, I pray that You would help me to retain, remember and recall the biblical knowledge that I have, and be able to recall the lovely truths of Your Word that I have been shown.
