For our everyday battles of prayer and intercession, our gracious Father has given us a powerful weapon – His Word. When we apply the Word to our prayers, His Spirit makes those prayers come alive in the name of our Savior.
A prayer for the week using God’s Word as a foundation:
You are my Lord, my Holy One, my Creator, My King. You are the One who made a way through the sea, a path through mighty waters (Isa 43:15-16). I desire to love You, listen to Your voice, and hold fast to You, for You Lord, are my life (Deut. 30:20).
Lord, Your inspired Word declares that the knowledge of Your truth leads to godliness (Titus 1:1). Lead me in your truth so that I may live a life of godly contentment. May the words of my mouth and the song of my heart be aligned with Your ways alone. It is not enough for me to humble myself for one day (Isa 58:5). Make humility my lifestyle.
Empower me to bear with others and forgive grievances I may have against another. Help me forgive as You have forgiven me (Col 3:13). According to Your Word, love is the most excellent way to deal with anything (1 Cor 12:31).
You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, the earth, the stars, the seas, and all that is in them. You give life to everything (Neh. 9:6). Only You have the power to save souls. Send Your Spirit to draw my loved ones, friends, neighbors, and community into a surrendered relationship with You.
Help me, to not grow weary in doing good for at the proper time, a harvest will be reaped if I do not give up (Gal 6:9). In the name of Jesus, I pray.
