#prayers

Prayer is a vital part of our daily lives. It helps us to direct our focus and our attention in a way that helps us to set the pace for what is ahead for us each day. It is our way of communicating with God and for Him to give us answers, instruction, guidance and direction.

The areas in which I am ly to mess up and fall short and be tempted to yield to shame and condemnation, help me to hide your word deep in my heart that says, “Great is your love towards me.” [Psalm 86:13]

I acknowledge that your love for me is unconditional and is not the things I would do, or say or even the places I would go. Remind me not to take your love for granted but to treat each day as a gift to be able to experience such amazing love yours. Amen

Scripture to meditate on:

“..I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love.

Prayer #2 – God’s Perfect Plan to Prosper You

Dear God in spite of what difficulties or challenges that may come my way today, help me to hold steadfast to your word that your plan is to prosper me and not to harm me. Align my spirit to your word that your plan is also to give me hope and to bring me into a bright future ahead.

I open myself to you God for spiritual download for divine strategies and your winning plan for every situation that I may face.

Prayer #4 – God’s Promise When You Are Fearful

So when circumstances arise that would attempt to make me afraid, help me to remain calm, confident, well-balanced in my mind to make sound judgement and to exercise self-control.

Prayer #6 – When You Need Strength

Dear Lord as I come into your presence, I need a fresh touch from you to strengthen and uphold me so that I may face what is ahead of me this day. My energy is low, my body is feeling weary, and I am feeling helpless to move forward.

Lift up my frail and heavy arms and strengthen me to love and be kind to others when cowardice, weakness and fear nudge me to deny those around me your love and kindness. Keep me in remembrance of your word which says the ‘Joy of the Lord is my strength.’ As I joy and delight myself in you, not only will I gain strength but will mount up on wings an eagle, renewed and refreshed in you. Amen

“I have set Jehovah always before me: Because he is at my right hand I shall not be moved.” (Psalm 16:8 ASV American Standard Version) ” So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” [Isaiah 41:10 NIV]

Prayer #7 – For Your Protection and Safety

Dear Lord, I take comfort in knowing that you are my rock and I put my trust in you to protect me and to shield me from danger and the perils of this day. I delight in knowing that you are the source of my salvation and that no weapon that the enemy fashion or form up against me shall prosper.

I praise you Jehovah because you go before me to fight my battles each and every day. Because of your mighty power, you shall cause my enemies [demon spirits that come against me] to be smitten and defeated before my very eyes.

Even though they rise up and come out against me one way, I am confident that because of your glory and anointing that you have placed upon me, they shall be forced to flee from me seven different ways.

I thank you Lord for your angels that you have given charge (a command) to keep watch over me, and to keep me in all my ways both spiritually and physically. I praise you for they stand guard in  vigilant hedge of protection around me, so that no accidents, hurt, harm or danger can come upon me.

Keep me in the secret place of you the Almighty, and help me to abide always under the shadow of your protection. Amen.

Turn Spiritual Songs into Simple Morning Prayers

“His song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.”

Are you looking for simple morning prayers to start your day off with the Lord? Have you ever considered using a hymn or spiritual song as your prayer? It’s a good way to be filled with the Lord for the day (Eph. 5:18-19).

I’ve found that when I’m short of words, it’s helpful to draw from the lyrics of hymns, or spiritual songs, especially those with a strong sentiment directed toward the Lord Himself.

Psalm 42:8b confirms this thought by saying,

“…His song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.”

So in this post, I’ll illustrate how you can take the lyrics of a favorite hymn or spiritual song and turn them into simple morning prayers.  I hope you’ll not only sing the lyrics, but declare them and turn every phrase into your personal prayer for fellowship with the Lord.

How to Turn a Spiritual Song or Hymn into Simple Morning Prayers

Let’s start with a hymn especially written to direct your heart into fellowship with the Lord in the morning.  We’ll use I Come to His Presence Afresh, a hymn on fellowship with Christ by Witness Lee and practice turning it into simple morning prayers:

6 Simple Morning Prayers for Coming into the Lord’s Presence

Try reading or singing the first stanza:

I come to His presence afreshEre the night has passed into morning;And His face I see as it shines on me-The Lord within is dawning.And He speaks to me and reveals to meAll His riches for me today;And with sweet delight I partake of Him,My hunger has passed away.

Try turning any phrase in this stanza that touched you into a simple morning prayer. Here are some examples:

1. “Lord Jesus, thank you, for a new day to come to You. Be so fresh to me.”

2. “Make Your face shine on me.”

3. “Be the dawning of this new day within in me.”

4. “Lord, speak to me and reveal to me all Your riches for me today.”

5. “Be so sweet to me this morning; keep me in Your sweetness all day long.”

6. “I’m  coming to partake of You until my hunger has passed away.”

Maybe you came up with others. (You can share them in a comment.)

3 Simple Morning Prayers for the Lord’s Speaking Through His Word

Now sing, read or declare the second stanza:

As Spirit He speaks thru the WordTill my heart in echo is singing,And the fount of life with His grace and pow’rWithin my soul is springing.And He speaks to me and reveals to meAll His riches for me today;And I drink of Him for my every need,My thirsting has passed away.

Now try making this second stanza your personal prayer inviting the Lord to speak to you in His Word. You might pray,

7. “Lord, this morning speak to me through Your Word ’til my heart in echo is singing.”

9. “Lord, may I drink of You in Your Word for my every need, ’til my thirst has passed away.”

3 Simple Morning Prayers for the Lord’s Tender Dealing, Saturating, and Supplying Your Soul

Finally sing, declare or praise the Lord with the third stanza:

In tenderness He deals with me,While I stay with joy in His presence;And He saturates and supplies my soulWith all His precious essence.And He speaks to me and reveals to meAll His riches for me today;And in every way I partake of Him,

My problems all passed away.

Conclude by making this third stanza your simple prayer for the Lord’s tender dealing, saturating and supplying your soul with Himself,

10. “O Lord, in tenderness deal with me while I stay with joy in Your presence. It’s only in Your presence that I can receive Your dealing.”

11. “Lord Jesus, saturate me and supply my soul with your precious essence.”

12. “Praise you Lord, that while I’m partaking of You in such a way, my problems have all passed away.”

It’s such a great way to start your day, to be filled in your spirit with Christ and to let His words dwell in you richly for the whole day (Eph. 5:18-19; Col. 3:16).

After you’ve tried turning this hymn into simple prayers to the Lord, let me know in a comment how it enriched and refreshed your time with the Lord in the morning.
