Best Prayers To Fall Asleep Blessed | Peaceful Bedtime Bible Sleep Talk Down

[Music] the bible says in matthew chapter 6 verse 5 to 6 and when you pray you shall not be like the hypocrites for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets that they may be seen by men [Music] assuredly i say to you they have their reward but you when you pray go into your room and when you have shut your door pray to your father who is in the secret place and your father who sees in secret will reward you openly saints of god i encourage you to

find a quiet place to pray that is your own find a prayer closet find a quiet place where you can be alone with the lord a place to meet with your heavenly father in secret away from the constant notifications of a cell phone away from the endless chatter of the television and away from the interruptions of friends and family members the bible says when you pray go into your room and when you have shut your door pray to your father who is in the secret place and your father who sees in secret will reward you

openly i believe that the bible tells us to pray in this manner because we need to respect our time with god we need to give him his due reverence our prayer time ought to be sacred we need to give god honor by shutting off the world and focusing purely on him i change my own prayer life by treating it as a divine appointment with the lord no interruptions no distractions just time alone with jesus so here's what i would like to encourage you to do after finding a quiet place to pray begin by repenting begin

by confessing your sins and asking for the lord to have mercy on you because none of us are perfect as humans we sin knowingly and sometimes unknowingly so be mindful of that and then move to ask the lord to show you if there is anything in your heart in your life that is hindering your walk with him pray from psalms 139 verse 23 to 24 which says search me o god and know my heart try me and know my thoughts and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way

everlasting jesus spoke of a precious promise belonging to those who have a pure heart in matthew 5 verse 8 which says blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see god don't you desire to see god don't you desire to see his hand move and work in your life don't you desire to see his goodness his protection and favor all at work in your life so i encourage you to begin treating your prayer time as a divine appointment with the lord now let us pray lord there is no greater privilege than being loved by

you there is no greater privilege than your mercy and goodness [Music] my prayer today lord is that i may be conscious and sensitive about giving you my full undivided attention may the holy ghost tug at my heart and remind me that my prayer time with you is sacred my prayer time is important and worth me finding a place far away from distractions so that i can be fully immersed in your love and in your presence your word in psalms 24 verse 3 to 4 says who shall ascend the hill of the lord and who shall

stand in his holy place he who has clean hands and a pure heart who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully help me holy spirit to always go before the lord and ask for his mercy and forgiveness so that i can pray with clean hands and a pure heart let my soul not be attached or linked to anything that is false in jesus name lord you are my shield and defense your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path do not let me

stumble o lord overthrow the plans and the plots of my enemies and help me to overcome in the name of jesus fight my battles lord as you have promised in your word you said in exodus 14 14 that the lord shall fight for you and you shall hold your peace i pray that you defend me and my family and let us hold your peace i pray that we are going to stand still to see the hand of god move in our lives in the name of jesus christ that we will stand and testify and say

had it not been of the lord we would have been consumed i come to you seeking refuge and protection i come to you in recognition of your great might and power i worship your holy name lord i adore you lord jesus i thank you father god for clothing me in a robe of righteousness that covers me head to toe because of the blood of jesus christ which was shed for me and i know that it is you that i live it's in you that i move and have my existence i surrender my life my children

and my loved ones into your caring hands you are a god full of compassion i pray for your hand of protection upon me and my family encompass us lord god almighty with your holy presence surround me and my family with your hedge of protection i thank you for your protection today i am grateful for your provision in my life forgive me for all of my sins have mercy on me and my family i thank you for being a god who has been faithful through the ages i ask that you put my mind at ease with

everything i am facing open my eyes and help me to see your hand in every situation i'm facing let me not be unstable in my emotions father remove all stress and give me peace take all of my burdens and set me free you are the rock of all ages my strong tower and fortress lord just as you are on the throne we know everything is going to be all right you've promised to meet every need according to your glorious riches christ jesus thank you for the overcoming power and victory that comes through prayer may you

continue to strengthen when i am down continue to strengthen me through the tough times i remain amazed by your love and care for me therefore i bless your name with joy and thanksgiving may your presence be felt continuously in my heart i remain confident that you are a faithful god and you will be my light in the darkest of hours be glorified in jesus name i pray amen first thessalonians 5 verse 6 so then let us not sleep as others do but let us keep awake and be sober so often we just coast through life

forgetting about god until we realize that we need him but it shouldn't take a struggle for god to get your attention a trial shouldn't be the only thing that brings you to your knees a problem shouldn't be the only way god will ever hear from you we are meant to seek and obey him every single day of our lives our greatest defense against the schemes of the devil is to be grounded in god's word make his word and his way a priority in your life each day saturate your mind with the gospel paul sums it

up perfectly in colossians 3 verse 16. let the word of christ dwell in you richly teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to god if we do these things then we are on our way to a vibrant and healthy spiritual life ask god to bring every flaw every failure and every area of weakness under his sovereign rule so that when the wind howls and the storm blows your house will stand firm in him let us pray heavenly father forgive me forgive me for

all the times i've neglected my walk with you and for all the times that i've pushed you aside for my own selfish ambitions in your kindness you have given me the gift of eternal life and all you ask in return is my full and complete surrender yet still i fail i fail to give you the priority and the attention that you deserve so father i'm asking you to help me help me to take my walk with you seriously and intentionally help me to get my spiritual house in order if there is any part of my

faith that needs attention lord give me the urgency and the desire to fix it open my eyes to the things i should be doing that will cultivate and grow my faith so often i treat you as optional to my life when you are absolutely essential lord i need you i need you in my career in my family in my home and in all my hopes and dreams [Music] without you my whole life means nothing everything i have is from you even the air i breathe is a gift from you so lord fill my heart with

gratitude and by your grace let me earnestly seek to become a better servant and follower of christ help me to dwell in your word help me to be a person of prayer help me to be active in my church and in my community for the sake of the gospel help me to sacrifice my time and my gifts for the things that matter and father as i go about my life protect me from anyone and anything that might lead me astray lord cleanse me from all unrighteousness help me to be vigilant over my spiritual life and

not leave any opportunity for the devil father i ask that you would help me to maintain this house with all diligence and care show me the areas in my life that are in dire need of maintenance whether it's my prayer life my scripture reading habits or my unforgiveness towards others motivate me to address these areas before they collapse inwardly and cause serious damage father help me to ultimately rely on your grace i can't fix everything myself i can't keep everything functioning as it should but you you lord are the one who is able to heal

and mend every area of brokenness in my life you are the one who creates order out of chaos father i thank you i thank you that even though my life can be a mess you still love me and you're willing to help me get back on track with you [Music] in jesus name i pray and i give you thanks amen lord we bless your holy name because you are the god of the impossible you are able to do all things and we trust in you because you can do anything you are a god with no

limitations together with everyone listening we pray and bring before you every challenge and every difficulty that we face lord we bring before you everything that is troubling us everything that is worrying us father we have faith and we believe that there is absolutely nothing for us to fear with you on our side because of this we will be strong and courageous even in hard times we will not be terrified we will not be discouraged because you are our rock our shield our strength and our hope we place our faith in you and we believe that

thing in our lives as your children you are a god who can make rivers in the desert and so you can speak life into any situation and father i thank you for bringing me out of my sinful past and giving me a better future thank you for helping me to move forward past every struggle and every mountain in my way god i thank you for all the miracles that you have performed to get me to where i am today lord i'm so grateful for all that you've done in my past and i thank you for

keeping me for protecting me even before i knew you thank you for loving me lord god forgive me if ever i have longed for the past in my heart give me the wisdom to know that these thoughts are not from you lord you have broken sin's curse on me not so that i can go back to the way i was before but so that i can now walk in freedom i pray lord that whenever my mind wanders and begins to reminisce about a past where i was living in sin give me the strength to run

from such thoughts lord give me the courage to walk away from the things that try to entice me may i never turn back i don't want to turn back like lot's wife did but god i want to keep pressing on with my eyes and my desires fixed on jesus lord give me the grace i need to move forward in my walk with you and to step into the calling that you've placed on my life all my efforts used to be in vain but now god you have equipped me for every good work and for amazing

things in your kingdom jesus may your precious blood destroy any remaining ties that i have with my former life sever every court of sin let not even a memory of those days remain in my mind instead help me to strive for holiness help me to strive for continual growth help me to become more like you enduring all things for the joy that is set before me lord i can't comprehend all that you've done from beginning to end but already i can see the progress that you've made in my life and i am excited for all

every morning be you [Music] i submit to you and align my spirit to your will and purpose for my life open my ears so that they will be sensitive and receptive to your voice lord i pray that your word would not depart from my mouth but instead i will read and meditate on it day and night so that i may be careful to do everything in accordance to your will may the holy spirit help me to keep seeking things that are above where christ is seated at the right hand of god help me holy spirit

to set my mind above and to keep focused on everything related to the kingdom of god help me not to conform to the things of this world help me not to be distracted by things that are on the earth which only have temporal value and for me to even do this lord i need your supernatural strength and so i declare that you lord jesus you are my source of strength that leads me to overcome the devil you lord jesus are my source of strength that leads me to walk in victory you are my source of

strength that leads me to defeat sin you have said in your word that in the last days you will pour out your spirit on all flesh and so i welcome you holy spirit i invite your presence to encamp around me and to fill me help me to realize the promises of god promises for peace that surpass human understanding promises of a sound mind promises of protection i pray that you would move with me holy spirit walk with me and speak to me be the still small voice that guides me and leads me lord jesus you

are ever faithful you are my hiding place at this present time i ask for your protection and covering over my life and over my family's life so lord help me to guard my heart help me to fill my heart with your word help me to be vigilant against every force of evil and every cunning lie of man help me to be in the world but not of it help me to be in this world but not to love it empower me to be a strong godly influence in this world rather than for me to be

influenced by this world help me to be salt in this earth help me to be a light in the darkness guiding my friends and my family and neighbors and strangers alike to the glorious cross your word calls me in philippians 4 verse 8 to say finally brothers whatever is true whatever is honorable whatever is just whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is commendable if there is any excellence if there is anything worthy of praise think about these things lord i pray that i would not be a sponge that absorbs all the filth of this

world no instead let me be like a mirror reflecting your goodness for all to see let me be like a mirror that reflects your love lord like david wrote in the psalms create in me a clean heart renew in me a right spirit i know that such a heart is pleasing to you more than sacrifices or good works you desire a heart that is broken over sin and one that humbly seeks your forgiveness i pray that the holy spirit would continuously be tugging at my heart and soul teaching me how to be obedient to the

lord teaching me how to stand in faith and to fully trust in god [Music] i praise your holy name king jesus be glorified i thank you for hearing my prayer in the mighty name of jesus christ i pray amen holy father thank you for giving me the capacity to see and appreciate the beauty of the gospel lord thank you for opening my eyes thank you for removing the scales from my eyes so that i can truly see the wonders of your glory and your grace open my eyes so that i can really see your amazing

grace indeed i once was lost but now i'm found i was blind but now i see and i am only able to see your goodness because you have opened my eyes and given me understanding father only you can see the realities of this world as they truly are only you are able to tell right from wrong with perfect judgment lord jesus open my eyes and give me wisdom forgive me if my focus is on the wrong things help me not to waste my time and quarrel over minor things i pray that you would help me

to see the greater picture lord help us shift our focus to the glorious and true gospel of jesus christ the gospel in which there is no room for misinterpretation or debate as your word says there is one god and one mediator the person of jesus christ help us all to grasp that reality and to stand amazed in all lord you are all powerful and all-knowing you see far beyond what i am humanly able to perceive you see every dimension every point in time all at once so help me not to question what you have spoken

to be true help me not to let doubts creep in and cloud my vision lord remove the scales from my eyes help me to see clearly help me not to cloud reality with my own interpretation or my own vision of the world let my world view be completely grounded in your word help me to walk by faith and not by sight expand my view from the earthly to the heavenly give me the ability to be able to see and recognize those who are wolves in sheep's clothing these people may appear trustworthy on the outside but

they are only out to deceive father don't let me fall for any of their clever words give me the ability to see the devil's true colors even as he masquerades like an angel of light temptation is strong but god you are stronger help me to fasten tightly the belt of truth so that none of satan's lies make it into my heart god help me to see the spiritual realities that aren't apparent to me help me to see things the way you want me to and not just what my sinful heart wants to believe make the

gospel beautiful in my sight and make sin appear to me as the abomination that it is i want to perceive this world in the same way you do lord jesus and so father rid me of my own desires my own lenses my own preconceived biases and like paul on the road to damascus awaken in my heart a greater love for you in jesus name i pray amen the bible says in matthew chapter 6 verse 5 to 6 and when you pray you shall not be like the hypocrites for they love to pray standing in the

synagogues and on the corners of the streets that they may be seen by men assuredly i say to you they have their reward but you when you pray go into your room and when you have shut your door pray to your father who is in the secret place and your father who sees in secret will reward you openly saints of god i encourage you to find a quiet place to pray that is your own find a prayer closet find a quiet place where you can be alone with the lord a place to meet with your

heavenly father in secret away from the constant notifications of a cell phone away from the endless chatter of the television and away from the interruptions of friends and family members the bible says when you pray go into your room and when you have shut your door pray to your father who is in the secret place and your father who sees in secret will reward you openly i believe that the bible tells us to pray in this manner because we need to respect our time with god we need to give him his due reverence our prayer

time ought to be sacred we need to give god honor by shutting off the world and focusing purely on him i change my own prayer life by treating it as a divine appointment with the lord no interruptions no distractions just time alone with jesus so here's what i would like to encourage you to do after finding a quiet place to pray begin by repenting begin by confessing your sins and asking for the lord to have mercy on you because none of us are perfect as humans we sin knowingly and sometimes unknowingly so be mindful of

that and then move to ask the lord to show you if there is anything in your heart in your life that is hindering your walk with him pray from psalms 139 verse 23 to 24 which says search me o god and know my heart try me and know my thoughts and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting jesus spoke of a precious promise belonging to those who have a pure heart in matthew 5 verse 8 which says blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see

god don't you desire to see god don't you desire to see his hand move and work in your life don't you desire to see his goodness his protection and favor all at work in your life so i encourage you to begin treating your prayer time as a divine appointment with the lord now let us pray lord there is no greater privilege than being loved by you there is no greater privilege than your mercy and goodness my prayer today lord is that i may be conscious and sensitive about giving you my full undivided attention may the

holy ghost tug at my heart and remind me that my prayer time with you is sacred my prayer time is important and worth me finding a place far away from distractions so that i can be fully immersed in your love and in your presence your word in psalms 24 3 to 4 says who shall ascend the hill of the lord and who shall stand in his holy place he who has clean hands and a pure heart who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully help me holy spirit

arm help me to fill my heart with your word help me to be vigilant against every force of evil and every cunning lie of man help me to be in the world but not of it help me to be in this world but not to love it empowered me to be a strong godly influence in this world rather than for me to be influenced by this world help me to be salt in this earth help me to be a light in the darkness guiding my friends and my family and neighbors and strangers alike to the

glorious cross your word calls me in philippians 4 verse 8 to say finally brothers whatever is true whatever is honorable whatever is just whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is commendable if there is any excellence if there is anything worthy of praise think about these things lord i pray that i would not be a sponge that absorbs all the filth of this world no instead let me be like a mirror reflecting your goodness for all to see let me be like a mirror that reflects your love lord like david wrote in the psalms create

in me a clean heart renew in me a right spirit i know that such a heart is pleasing to you more than sacrifices or good works you desire a heart that is broken over sin and one that humbly seeks your forgiveness i pray that the holy spirit would continuously be tugging at my heart and soul teaching me how to be obedient to the lord teaching me how to stand in faith and to fully trust in god i praise your holy name king jesus be glorified i thank you for hearing my prayer in the mighty name

of jesus christ i pray amen [Music] holy father thank you for giving me the capacity to see and appreciate the beauty of the gospel lord thank you for opening my eyes thank you for removing the scales from my eyes so that i can truly see the wonders of your glory and your grace open my eyes so that i can really see your amazing grace indeed i once was lost but now i'm found i was blind but now i see and i am only able to see your goodness because you have opened my eyes and given

me understanding father only you can see the realities of this world as they truly are only you are able to tell right from wrong with perfect judgment lord jesus open my eyes and give me wisdom forgive me if my focus is on the wrong things help me not to waste my time and quarrel over minor things i pray that you would help me to see the greater picture lord help us shift our focus to the glorious and true gospel of jesus christ the gospel in which there is no room for misinterpretation or debate as your

word says there is one god and one mediator the person of jesus christ help us all to grasp that reality and to stand amazed in all lord you are all powerful and all-knowing you see far beyond what i am humanly able to perceive you see every dimension every point in time all at once so help me not to question what you have spoken to be true help me not to let doubts creep in and cloud my vision lord remove the scales from my eyes help me to see clearly help me not to cloud reality with

my own interpretation or my own vision of the world let my world view be completely grounded in your word help me to walk by faith and not by sight expand my view from the earthly to the heavenly give me the ability to be able to see and recognize those who are wolves in sheep's clothing these people may appear trustworthy on the outside but they are only out to deceive father don't let me fall for any of their clever words give me the ability to see the devil's true colors even as he masquerades like an angel

of light temptation is strong but god you are stronger help me to fasten tightly the belt of truth so that none of satan's lies make it into my heart god help me to see the spiritual realities that aren't apparent to me help me to see things the way you want me to and not just what my sinful heart wants to believe make the gospel beautiful in my sight and make sin appear to me as the abomination that it is i want to perceive this world in the same way you do lord jesus and so father

rid me of my own desires my own lenses my own preconceived biases and like paul on the road to damascus awaken in my heart a greater love for you in jesus name i pray amen the bible says in matthew chapter 6 verse 5 to 6 and when you pray you shall not be like the hypocrites for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets that they may be seen by men assuredly i say to you they have their reward but you when you pray go into your room and

when you have shut your door pray to your father who is in the secret place and your father who sees in secret will reward you openly saints of god i encourage you to find a quiet place to pray that is your own find a prayer closet find a quiet place where you can be alone with the lord a place to meet with your heavenly father in secret away from the constant notifications of a cell phone away from the endless chatter of the television and away from the interruptions of friends and family members the bible says

when you pray go into your room and when you have shut your door pray to your father who is in the secret place and your father who sees in secret will reward you openly i believe that the bible tells us to pray in this manner because we need to respect our time with god we need to give him his due reverence our prayer time ought to be sacred we need to give god honor by shutting off the world and focusing purely on him i changed my own prayer life by treating it as a divine appointment

with the lord no interruptions no distractions just time alone with jesus so here's what i would like to encourage you to do after finding a quiet place to pray begin by repenting begin by confessing your sins and asking for the lord to have mercy on you because none of us are perfect as humans we sin knowingly and sometimes unknowingly so be mindful of that and then move to ask the lord to show you if there is anything in your heart in your life that is hindering your walk with him pray from psalms 139 verse 23

to 24 which says search me oh god and know my heart try me and know my thoughts and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting jesus spoke of a precious promise belonging to those who have a pure heart in matthew 5 verse 8 which says blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see god don't you desire to see god don't you desire to see his hand move and work in your life don't you desire to see his goodness his protection and favor all at work

in your life so i encourage you to begin treating your prayer time as a divine appointment with the lord now let us pray lord there is no greater privilege than being loved by you there is no greater privilege than your mercy and goodness my prayer today lord is that i may be conscious and sensitive about giving you my full undivided attention may the holy ghost tug at my heart and remind me that my prayer time with you is sacred my prayer time is important and worth me finding a place far away from distractions so that

i can be fully immersed in your love and in your presence your word in psalms 24 verse 3 to 4 says who shall ascend the hill of the lord and who shall stand in his holy place he who has clean hands and a pure heart who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully help me holy spirit to always go before the lord and ask for his mercy and forgiveness so that i can pray with clean hands and a pure heart let my soul not be attached or linked

to anything that is false in jesus name lord you are my shield and defense your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path do not let me stumble o lord overthrow the plans and the plots of my enemies and help me to overcome in the name of jesus fight my battles lord as you have promised in your word you said in exodus 14 14 that the lord shall fight for you and you shall hold your peace i pray that you defend me and my family and let us hold your peace

i pray that we are going to stand still to see the hand of god move in our lives in the name of jesus christ that we will stand and testify and say had it not been of the lord we would have been consumed i come to you seeking refuge and protection i come to you in recognition of your great might and power i worship your holy name lord i adore you lord jesus i thank you father god for clothing me in a robe of righteousness that covers me head to toe because of the blood of

jesus christ which was shed for me and i know that it is you that i live it's in you that i move and have my existence i surrender my life my children and my loved ones into your caring hands you are a god full of compassion i pray for your hand of protection upon me and my family encompass us lord god almighty with your holy presence surround me and my family with your hedge of protection i thank you for your protection today i am grateful for your provision in my life forgive me for all of

my sins have mercy on me and my family i thank you for being a god who has been faithful through the ages i ask that you put my mind at ease with everything i am facing open my eyes and help me to see your hand in every situation i'm facing let me not be unstable in my emotions father remove all stress and give me peace take all of my burdens and set me free you are the rock of all ages my strong tower and fortress lord just as you are on the throne we know everything

is going to be all right you've promised to meet every need according to your glorious riches christ jesus thank you for the overcoming power and victory that comes through prayer may you continue to strengthen when i am down continue to strengthen me through the tough times i remain amazed by your love and care for me therefore i bless your name with joy and thanksgiving may your presence be felt continuously in my heart i remain confident that you are a faithful god and you will be my light in the darkest of hours be glorified in jesus

name i pray amen first thessalonians 5 verse 6 so then let us not sleep as others do but let us keep awake and be sober so often we just coast through life forgetting about god until we realize that we need him but it shouldn't take a struggle for god to get your attention a trial shouldn't be the only thing that brings you to your knees a problem shouldn't be the only way god will ever hear from you we are meant to seek and obey him every single day of our lives our greatest defense against the

schemes of the devil is to be grounded in god's word make his word and his way a priority in your life each day saturate your mind with the gospel paul sums it up perfectly in colossians 3 verse 16. let the word of christ dwell in you richly teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to god if we do these things then we are on our way to a vibrant and healthy spiritual life ask god to bring every flaw every failure and every area

of weakness under his sovereign rule so that when the wind howls and the storm blows your house will stand firm in him let us pray heavenly father forgive me forgive me for all the times i've neglected my walk with you and for all the times that i've pushed you aside for my own selfish ambitions in your kindness you have given me the gift of eternal life and all you ask in return is my full and complete surrender yet still i fail i fail to give you the priority and the attention that you deserve so father

i'm asking you to help me help me to take my walk with you seriously and intentionally help me to get my spiritual house in order if there is any part of my faith that needs attention lord give me the urgency and the desire to fix it open my eyes to the things i should be doing that will cultivate and grow my faith so often i treat you as optional to my life when you are absolutely essential lord i need you i need you in my career in my family in my home and in all my

hopes and dreams without you my whole life means nothing everything i have is from you even the air i breathe is a gift from you so lord fill my heart with gratitude and by your grace let me earnestly seek to become a better servant and follower of christ help me to dwell in your word help me to be a person of prayer help me to be active in my church and in my community for the sake of the gospel help me to sacrifice my time and my gifts for the things that matter and father as

i go about my life protect me from anyone and anything that might lead me astray lord cleanse me from all unrighteousness help me to be vigilant over my spiritual life and not leave any opportunity for the devil father i ask that you would help me to maintain this house with all diligence and care show me the areas in my life that are in dire need of maintenance whether it's my prayer life my scripture reading habits or my unforgiveness towards others motivate me to address these areas before they collapse inwardly and cause serious damage father help

me to ultimately rely on your grace i can't fix everything myself i can't keep everything functioning as it should but you you lord are the one who is able to heal and mend every area of brokenness in my life you are the one who creates order out of chaos father i thank you i thank you that even though my life can be a mess you still love me and you're willing to help me get back on track with you in jesus name i pray and i give you thanks amen [Music] lord we bless your holy

name because you are the god of the impossible you are able to do all things and we trust in you because you can do anything you are a god with no limitations together with everyone listening we pray and bring before you every challenge and every difficulty that we face lord we bring before you everything that is troubling us everything that is worrying us father we have faith and we believe that there is absolutely nothing for us to fear with you on our side because of this we will be strong and courageous even in hard times

we will not be terrified we will not be discouraged because you are our rock our shield our strength and our hope we place our faith in you and we believe that you will see us through our valley experience god we trust in your ability and not in our own teach us to see the challenges the difficulties in our lives through the lens of faith even as we go through our valley experiences help us to grow and mature as christians help us to develop our faith and even if our emotions try and get the best of

us we will remain steadfast knowing that you will never leave us nor forsake us and lord please help us to focus on you and your power instead of the problems that we face give us the strength to focus on you even in hard circumstances may the holy ghost guide us to carefully read trust and be obedient to your word your word tells us not to be anxious and not to be troubled in our hearts meaning that we do not need to figure everything out you already know the best plan for us we ask that you

move in our lives lord show us your supernatural power teach us how to walk by faith and pray fervently because your word says the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous avails much we choose to have faith in your ability to break through every obstacle we face in agreement with everyone listening to this prayer we declare deuteronomy 31 verse 6. be strong and courageous do not fear or be in dread of them for it is the lord your god who goes with you he will not leave you or forsake you in you lord we trust in

you we have courage and strength even in our weakness we will boast in your strength and praise your name forever because you are with us lord jesus we will not be shaken by any valley any problem or obstacle our hearts are made glad because we know that you are on our side our hearts rejoice because we know you as savior our souls are at peace and we are secure because we believe that you lord jesus you will not abandon us so lord we will praise your name today and forevermore continue to fill us with joy

such thoughts lord give me the courage to walk away from the things that try to entice me may i never turn back i don't want to turn back like lot's wife did but god i want to keep pressing on with my eyes and my desires fixed on jesus lord give me the grace i need to move forward in my walk with you and to step into the calling that you've placed on my life all my efforts used to be in vain but now god you have equipped me for every good work and for amazing things

be you i submit to you and align my spirit to your will and purpose for my life open my ears so that they will be sensitive and receptive to your voice lord i pray that your word would not depart from my mouth but instead i will read and meditate on it day and night so that i may be careful to do everything in accordance to your will may the holy spirit help me to keep seeking things that are above where christ is seated at the right hand of god help me holy spirit to set my

mind above and to keep focused on everything related to the kingdom of god help me not to conform to the things of this world help me not to be distracted by things that are on the earth which only have temporal value and for me to even do this lord i need your supernatural strength and so i declare that you lord jesus you are my source of strength that leads me to overcome the devil you lord jesus are my source of strength that leads me to walk in victory you are my source of strength that leads

me to defeat sin you have said in your word that in the last days you will pour out your spirit on all flesh and so i welcome you holy spirit i invite your presence to encamp around me and to fill me help me to realize the promises of god promises for peace that surpass human understanding promises of a sound mind promises of protection i pray that you would move with me holy spirit walk with me and speak to me be the still small voice that guides me and leads me lord jesus you are ever faithful

you are my hiding place at this present time i ask for your protection and covering over my life and over my family's life so lord help me to guard my heart help me to fill my heart with your word help me to be vigilant against every force of evil and every cunning lie of man help me to be in the world but not of it help me to be in this world but not to love it empower me to be a strong godly influence in this world rather than for me to be influenced by this

world help me to be salt in this earth help me to be a light in the darkness guiding my friends and my family and neighbors and strangers alike to the glorious cross your word calls me in philippians 4 verse 8 to say finally brothers whatever is true whatever is honorable whatever is just whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is commendable if there is any excellence if there is anything worthy of praise think about these things lord i pray that i would not be a sponge that absorbs all the filth of this world no instead

let me be like a mirror reflecting your goodness for all to see let me be like a mirror that reflects your love lord like david wrote in the psalms create in me a clean heart renew in me a right spirit i know that such a heart is pleasing to you more than sacrifices or good works you desire a heart that is broken over sin and one that humbly seeks your forgiveness i pray that the holy spirit would continuously be tugging at my heart and soul teaching me how to be obedient to the lord teaching me

how to stand in faith and to fully trust in god i praise your holy name king jesus be glorified i thank you for hearing my prayer in the mighty name of jesus christ i pray [Music] amen [Music] holy father thank you for giving me the capacity to see and appreciate the beauty of the gospel lord thank you for opening my eyes thank you for removing the scales from my eyes so that i can truly see the wonders of your glory and your grace open my eyes so that i can really see your amazing grace indeed

i once was lost but now i'm found i was blind but now i see and i am only able to see your goodness because you have opened my eyes and given me understanding father only you can see the realities of this world as they truly are only you are able to tell right from wrong with perfect judgment lord jesus open my eyes and give me wisdom forgive me if my focus is on the wrong things help me not to waste my time and quarrel over minor things i pray that you would help me to see

the greater picture lord help us shift our focus to the glorious and true gospel of jesus christ the gospel in which there is no room for misinterpretation or debate as your word says there is one god and one mediator the person of jesus christ help us all to grasp that reality and to stand amazed in all lord you are all powerful and all-knowing you see far beyond what i am humanly able to perceive you see every dimension every point in time all at once so help me not to question what you have spoken to be

true help me not to let doubts creep in and cloud my vision lord remove the scales from my eyes help me to see clearly help me not to cloud reality with my own interpretation or my own vision of the world let my world view be completely grounded in your word help me to walk by faith and not by sight expand my view from the earthly to the heavenly give me the ability to be able to see and recognize those who are wolves and sheep's clothing these people may appear trustworthy on the outside but they are

only out to deceive father don't let me fall for any of their clever words give me the ability to see the devil's true colors even as he masquerades like an angel of light temptation is strong but god you are stronger help me to fasten tightly the belt of truth so that none of satan's lies make it into my heart god help me to see the spiritual realities that aren't apparent to me help me to see things the way you want me to and not just what my sinful heart wants to believe make the gospel beautiful

in my sight and make sin appear to me as the abomination that it is i want to perceive this world in the same way you do lord jesus and so father rid me of my own desires my own lenses my own preconceived biases and like paul on the road to damascus awaken in my heart a greater love for you in jesus name i pray amen [Music] the bible says in matthew chapter 6 verse 5 to 6 and when you pray you shall not be like the hypocrites for they love to pray standing in the synagogues

and on the corners of the streets that they may be seen by men assuredly i say to you they have their reward but you when you pray go into your room and when you have shut your door pray to your father who is in the secret place and your father who sees in secret will reward you openly saints of god i encourage you to find a quiet place to pray that is your own find a prayer closet find a quiet place where you can be alone with the lord a place to meet with your heavenly

father in secret away from the constant notifications of a cell phone away from the endless chatter of the television and away from the interruptions of friends and family members the bible says when you pray go into your room and when you have shut your door pray to your father who is in the secret place and your father who sees in secret will reward you openly i believe that the bible tells us to pray in this manner because we need to respect our time with god we need to give him his due reverence our prayer time

ought to be sacred we need to give god honor by shutting off the world and focusing purely on him i change my own prayer life by treating it as a divine appointment with the lord no interruptions no distractions just time alone with jesus so here's what i would like to encourage you to do after finding a quiet place to pray begin by repenting begin by confessing your sins and asking for the lord to have mercy on you because none of us are perfect as humans we sin knowingly and sometimes unknowingly so be mindful of that

and then move to ask the lord to show you if there is anything in your heart in your life that is hindering your walk with him pray from psalms 139 verse 23 to 24 which says search me o god and know my heart try me and know my thoughts and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting jesus spoke of a precious promise belonging to those who have a pure heart in matthew 5 verse 8 which says blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see god

don't you desire to see god don't you desire to see his hand move and work in your life don't you desire to see his goodness his protection and favor all at work in your life so i encourage you to begin treating your prayer time as a divine appointment with the lord now let us pray lord there is no greater privilege than being loved by you there is no greater privilege than your mercy and goodness my prayer today lord is that i may be conscious and sensitive about giving you my full undivided attention may the holy

ghost tug at my heart and remind me that my prayer time with you is sacred my prayer time is important and worth me finding a place far away from distractions so that i can be fully immersed in your love and in your presence your word in psalms 24 3 to 4 says who shall ascend the hill of the lord and who shall stand in his holy place he who has clean hands and a pure heart who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully help me holy spirit to

always go before the lord and ask for his mercy and forgiveness so that i can pray with clean hands and a pure heart let my soul not be attached or linked to anything that is false in jesus name [Music] lord you are my shield and defense word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path do not let me stumble o lord overthrow the plans and the plots of my enemies and help me to overcome in the name of jesus fight my battles lord as you have promised in your word you said

in exodus 14 14 that the lord shall fight for you and you shall hold your peace i pray that you defend me and my family and let us hold your peace i pray that we are going to stand still to see the hand of god move in our lives in the name of jesus christ that we will stand and testify and say had it not been of the lord we would have been consumed i come to you seeking refuge and protection i come to you in recognition of your great might and power i worship your

holy name lord i adore you lord jesus i thank you father god for clothing me in a robe of righteousness that covers me head to toe because of the blood of jesus christ which was shed for me and i know that it is you that i live it's in you that i move and have my existence i surrender my life my children and my loved ones into your caring hands you are a god full of compassion i pray for your hand of protection upon me and my family encompass us lord god almighty with your holy

presence surround me and my family with your hedge of protection i thank you for your protection today [Music] i am grateful for your provision in my life forgive me for all of my sins have mercy on me and my family i thank you for being a god who has been faithful through the ages i ask that you put my mind at ease with everything i am facing open my eyes and help me to see your hand in every situation i'm facing let me not be unstable in my emotions father remove all stress and give me

peace take all of my burdens and set me free you are the rock of all ages my strong tower and fortress lord just as you are on the throne we know everything is going to be all right you've promised to meet every need according to your glorious riches christ jesus thank you for the overcoming power and victory that comes through prayer may you continue to strengthen when i am down continue to strengthen me through the tough times i remain amazed by your love and care for me therefore i bless your name with joy and thanksgiving

may your presence be felt continuously in my heart i remain confident that you are a faithful god and you will be my light in the darkest of hours be glorified in jesus name i pray amen first thessalonians 5 verse 6 so then let us not sleep as others do but let us keep awake and be sober so often we just coast through life forgetting about god until we realize that we need him but it shouldn't take a struggle for god to get your attention a trial shouldn't be the only thing that brings you to your

knees a problem shouldn't be the only way god will ever hear from you we are meant to seek and obey him every single day of our lives our greatest defense against the schemes of the devil is to be grounded in god's word make his word and his way a priority in your life each day saturate your mind with the gospel paul sums it up perfectly in colossians 3 verse 16 let the word of christ dwell in you richly teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in

your hearts to god if we do these things then we are on our way to a vibrant and healthy spiritual life ask god to bring every flaw every failure and every area of weakness under his sovereign rule so that when the wind howls and the storm blows your house will stand firm in him let us pray heavenly father forgive me forgive me for all the times i've neglected my walk with you and for all the times that i've pushed you aside for my own selfish ambitions in your kindness you have given me the gift of

eternal life and all you ask in return is my full and complete surrender yet still i fail i fail to give you the priority and the attention that you deserve so father i'm asking you to help me help me to take my walk with you seriously and intentionally help me to get my spiritual house in order if there is any part of my faith that needs attention lord give me the urgency and the desire to fix it open my eyes to the things i should be doing that will cultivate and grow my faith so often

i treat you as optional to my life when you are absolutely essential lord i need you i need you in my career in my family in my home and in all my hopes and dreams without you my whole life means nothing everything i have is from you even the air i breathe is a gift from you so lord fill my heart with gratitude and by your grace let me earnestly seek to become a better servant and follower of christ help me to dwell in your word help me to be a person of prayer help me

to be active in my church and in my community for the sake of the gospel help me to sacrifice my time and my gifts for the things that matter and father as i go about my life protect me from anyone and anything that might lead me astray lord cleanse me from all unrighteousness help me to be vigilant over my spiritual life and not leave any opportunity for the devil father i ask that you would help me to maintain this house with all diligence and care show me the areas in my life that are in dire

need of maintenance whether it's my prayer life my scripture reading habits or my unforgiveness towards others motivate me to address these areas before they collapse inwardly and cause serious damage father help me to ultimately rely on your grace i can't fix everything myself i can't keep everything functioning as it should but you you lord are the one who is able to heal and mend every area of brokenness in my life you are the one who creates order out of chaos father i thank you i thank you that even though my life can be a mess

you still love me and you're willing to help me get back on track with you in jesus name i pray and i give you thanks amen lord we bless your holy name because you are the god of the impossible you are able to do all things and we trust in you because you can do anything you are a god with no limitations together with everyone listening we pray and bring before you every challenge and every difficulty that we face lord we bring before you everything that is troubling us everything that is worrying us father we

have faith and we believe that there is absolutely nothing for us to fear with you on our side because of this we will be strong and courageous even in hard times we will not be terrified we will not be discouraged because you are our rock our shield our strength and our hope we place our faith in you and we believe that you will see us through our valley experience god we trust in your ability and not in our own teach us to see the challenges the difficulties in our lives through the lens of faith even

as we go through our valley experiences help us to grow and mature as christians help us to develop our faith and even if our emotions try and get the best of us we will remain steadfast knowing that you will never leave us nor forsake us and lord please help us to focus on you and your power instead of the problems that we face give us the strength to focus on you even in hard circumstances [Music] may the holy ghost guide us to carefully read trust and be obedient to your word your word tells us not

to be anxious and not to be troubled in our hearts meaning that we do not need to figure everything out you already know the best plan for us [Music] we ask that you move in our lives lord show us your supernatural power [Music] teach us how to walk by faith and pray fervently because your word says the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous avails much we choose to have faith in your ability to break through every obstacle we face in agreement with everyone listening to this prayer we declare deuteronomy 31 verse 6 be strong and

sovereign rule so that when the wind howls and the storm blows your house will stand firm in him let us pray heavenly father forgive me forgive me for all the times i've neglected my walk with you and for all the times that i've pushed you aside for my own selfish ambitions in your kindness you have given me the gift of eternal life and all you ask in return is my full and complete surrender yet still i fail i fail to give you the priority and the attention that you deserve so father i'm asking you to

help me help me to take my walk with you seriously and intentionally help me to get my spiritual house in order if there is any part of my faith that needs attention lord give me the urgency and the desire to fix it open my eyes to the things i should be doing that will cultivate and grow my faith so often i treat you as optional to my life when you are absolutely essential lord i need you i need you in my career in my family in my home and in all my hopes and dreams without

in accordance to your will may the holy spirit help me to keep seeking things that are above where christ is seated at the right hand of god help me holy spirit to set my mind above and to keep focused on everything related to the kingdom of god help me not to conform to the things of this world help me not to be distracted by things that are on the earth which only have temporal value and for me to even do this lord i need your supernatural strength and so i declare that you lord jesus you

are my source of strength that leads me to overcome the devil you lord jesus are my source of strength that leads me to walk in victory you are my source of strength that leads me to defeat sin you have said in your word that in the last days you will pour out your spirit on all flesh and so i welcome you holy spirit i invite your presence to encamp around me and to fill me help me to realize the promises of god promises for peace that surpass human understanding promises of a sound mind promises of

protection i pray that you would move with me holy spirit walk with me and speak to me be the still small voice that guides me and leads me lord jesus you are ever faithful you are my hiding place at this present time i ask for your protection and covering over my life and over my family's life [Music] so lord help me to guard my heart help me to fill my heart with your word help me to be vigilant against every force of evil and every cunning lie of man help me to be in the world

but not of it help me to be in this world but not to love it empower me to be a strong godly influence in this world rather than for me to be influenced by this world help me to be salt in this earth help me to be a light in the darkness guiding my friends and my family and neighbors and strangers alike to the glorious cross your word calls me in philippians 4 verse 8 to say finally brothers whatever is true whatever is honorable whatever is just whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is commendable

if there is any excellence if there is anything worthy of praise think about these things lord i pray that i would not be a sponge that absorbs all the filth of this world no instead let me be like a mirror reflecting your goodness for all to see let me be like a mirror that reflects your love lord like david wrote in the psalms create in me a clean heart renew in me a right spirit i know that such a heart is pleasing to you more than sacrifices or good works you desire a heart that is

broken over sin and one that humbly seeks your forgiveness i pray that the holy spirit would continuously be tugging at my heart and soul teaching me how to be obedient to the lord teaching me how to stand in faith and to fully trust in god i praise your holy name king jesus [Music] be glorified i thank you for hearing my prayer in the mighty name of jesus christ i pray amen holy father thank you for giving me the capacity to see and appreciate the beauty of the gospel lord thank you for opening my eyes thank

you for removing the scales from my eyes so that i can truly see the wonders of your glory and your grace open my eyes so that i can really see your amazing grace indeed i once was lost but now i'm found i was blind but now i see and i am only able to see your goodness because you have opened my eyes and given me understanding father only you can see the realities of this world as they truly are only you are able to tell right from wrong with perfect judgment lord jesus open my eyes

and give me wisdom forgive me if my focus is on the wrong things help me not to waste my time and quarrel over minor things i pray that you would help me to see the greater picture lord help us shift our focus to the glorious and true gospel of jesus christ the gospel in which there is no room for misinterpretation or debate as your word says there is one god and one mediator the person of jesus christ help us all to grasp that reality and to stand amazed in awe lord you are all powerful and

all-knowing you see far beyond what i am humanly able to perceive you see every dimension every point in time all at once so help me not to question what you have spoken to be true help me not to let doubts creep in and cloud my vision lord remove the scales from my eyes help me to see clearly help me not to cloud reality with my own interpretation or my own vision of the world let my world view be completely grounded in your word help me to walk by faith and not by sight expand my view

from the earthly to the heavenly give me the ability to be able to see and recognize those who are wolves in sheep's clothing these people may appear trustworthy on the outside but they are only out to deceive father don't let me fall for any of their clever words give me the ability to see the devil's true colors even as he masquerades like an angel of light temptation is strong but god you are stronger help me to fasten tightly the belt of truth so that none of satan's lies make it into my heart god help me

to see the spiritual realities that aren't apparent to me help me to see things the way you want me to and not just what my sinful heart wants to believe make the gospel beautiful in my sight and make sin appear to me as the abomination that it is i want to perceive this world in the same way you do lord jesus and so father rid me of my own desires my own lenses my own preconceived biases and like paul on the road to damascus awaken in my heart a greater love for you in jesus name

i pray amen [Music] the bible says in matthew chapter 6 verse 5 to 6 and when you pray you shall not be like the hypocrites for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets that they may be seen by men assuredly i say to you they have their reward but you when you pray go into your room and when you have shut your door pray to your father who is in the secret place and your father who sees in secret will reward you openly saints of god i encourage

you to find a quiet place to pray that is your own find a prayer closet find a quiet place where you can be alone with the lord a place to meet with your heavenly father in secret away from the constant notifications of a cell phone away from the endless chatter of the television and away from the interruptions of friends and family members the bible says when you pray go into your room and when you have shut your door pray to your father who is in the secret place and your father who sees in secret will

reward you openly i believe that the bible tells us to pray in this manner because we need to respect our time with god we need to give him his due reverence our prayer time ought to be sacred we need to give god honor by shutting off the world and focusing purely on him i changed my own prayer life by treating it as a divine appointment with the lord no interruptions no distractions just time alone with jesus so here's what i would like to encourage you to do after finding a quiet place to pray begin by

repenting begin by confessing your sins and asking for the lord to have mercy on you because none of us are perfect as humans we sin knowingly and sometimes unknowingly so be mindful of that and then move to ask the lord to show you if there is anything in your heart in your life that is hindering your walk with him pray from psalms 139 verse 23 to 24 which says search me o god and know my heart try me and know my thoughts and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in

the way everlasting jesus spoke of a precious promise belonging to those who have a pure heart in matthew 5 verse 8 which says blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see god don't you desire to see god don't you desire to see his hand move and work in your life don't you desire to see his goodness his protection and favor all at work in your life so i encourage you to begin treating your prayer time as a divine appointment with the lord now let us pray lord there is no greater privilege than being

loved by you there is no greater privilege than your mercy and goodness [Music] my prayer today lord is that i may be conscious and sensitive about giving you my full undivided attention may the holy ghost tug at my heart and remind me that my prayer time with you is sacred my prayer time is important and worth me finding a place far away from distractions so that i can be fully immersed in your love and in your presence your word in psalms 24 verse 3 to 4 says who shall ascend the hill of the lord and

who shall stand in his holy place he who has clean hands and a pure heart who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully help me holy spirit to always go before the lord and ask for his mercy and forgiveness so that i can pray with clean hands and a pure heart let my soul not be attached or linked to anything that is false in jesus name lord you are my shield and defense your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path do not

let me stumble o lord overthrow the plans and the plots of my enemies and help me to overcome in the name of jesus fight my battles lord as you have promised in your word you said in exodus 14 14 that the lord shall fight for you and you shall hold your peace i pray that you defend me and my family and let us hold your peace i pray that we are going to stand still to see the hand of god move in our lives in the name of jesus christ that we will stand and testify

and say had it not been of the lord we would have been consumed i come to you seeking refuge and protection i come to you in recognition of your great might and power i worship your holy name lord i adore you lord jesus i thank you father god for clothing me in a robe of righteousness that covers me head to toe because of the blood of jesus christ which was shed for me and i know that it is you that i live it's in you that i move and have my existence i surrender my life

my children and my loved ones into your caring hands you are a god full of compassion i pray for your hand of protection upon me and my family encompass us lord god almighty with your holy presence surround me and my family with your hedge of protection i thank you for your protection today i am grateful for your provision in my life forgive me for all of my sins have mercy on me and my family i thank you for being a god who has been faithful through the ages i ask that you put my mind at

ease with everything i am facing open my eyes and help me to see your hand in every situation i'm facing let me not be unstable in my emotions father remove all stress and give me peace take all of my burdens and set me free you are the rock of all ages my strong tower and fortress [Music] lord just as you are on the throne we know everything is going to be all right you've promised to meet every need according to your glorious riches christ jesus thank you for the overcoming power and victory that comes through

prayer may you continue to strengthen when i am down continue to strengthen me through the tough times [Music] i remain amazed by your love and care for me therefore i bless your name with joy and thanksgiving [Music] may your presence be felt continuously in my heart i remain confident that you are a faithful god and you will be my light in the darkest of hours be glorified in jesus name i pray amen first thessalonians 5 verse 6 so then let us not sleep as others do but let us keep awake and be sober so often

we just coast through life forgetting about god until we realize that we need him but it shouldn't take a struggle for god to get your attention a trial shouldn't be the only thing that brings you to your knees a problem shouldn't be the only way god will ever hear from you we are meant to seek and obey him every single day of our lives our greatest defense against the schemes of the devil is to be grounded in god's word make his word and his way a priority in your life each day saturate your mind with

forgive me forgive me for all the times i've neglected my walk with you and for all the times that i've pushed you aside for my own selfish ambitions in your kindness you have given me the gift of eternal life and all you ask in return is my full and complete surrender yet still i fail i fail to give you the priority and the attention that you deserve so father i'm asking you to help me help me to take my walk with you seriously and intentionally help me to get my spiritual house in order if there

fill my heart with gratitude and by your grace let me earnestly seek to become a better servant and follower of christ help me to dwell in your word help me to be a person of prayer help me to be active in my church and in my community for the sake of the gospel help me to sacrifice my time and my gifts for the things that matter and father as i go about my life protect me from anyone and anything that might lead me astray lord cleanse me from all unrighteousness help me to be vigilant over
