Prayer of Gratitude

This morning,  we come before you Lord with gratitude in our hearts for who you are and for all you do for us. We thank you for fighting our battles until they are won. You are our rock and redeemer a strong tower over the enemy. When we are afraid we will trust in you. Thank you for strengthening us with power and might in the inner man. Thank you for being the God who listens. Thank you that you will perfect that which concerns us. You are our shield and exceedingly great reward. Thank you Abba father for watching over us. Thank you for the opportunities that you provided for us. Thank you for watching over the condition of our soul. Your strength is perfected in our weakness. We conclude this prayer with a heart full of gratitude for who you are and all you do for us. In Jesus name  amen. 

Prayer of consecration

Lord I come before your throne of grace. I  ask you Holy Spirit to blow on the embers of my heart and fan the flickering flames of faith. I pray for a release of your Spirit on my life. Give me unction in my gumption to make me function. I pray for a double portion of your anointing. I seek rest, refuge and fullness of joy. In your presence is fulness of joy and at your right hand are pleasures forever more. Like David prayed, let your goodness and mercy be in hot pursuit of us and overtake us. Let me dwell in your presence all the days of my life. I thank you for preparing a table for me in the presence of my enemies. Let there be peace in the valley for me. You are the lily of the valley and the rose of sharon. Let your sweet aroma fill my life. With my whole heart, Lord, let me love you. Let this prayer rise as a sweet smelling savor unto you. In Jesus precious name. Amen. 

Prayer for the persecuted

Lord we approach your throne of grace this morning in intercession for the brethren who are persecuted for following you. We build up a hedge of protection around them. For Thou O Lord are a shield about them. We pray that your pillar of fire will protect them and that your pillar of cloud will comfort them. Give them your strength to overcome. Your word says that He who endures to the end shall be saved. Let them hear your voice of comfort and encouragement. Let your Holy Spirit soothe, comfort and edify them. Ignite them with zeal and let them stand firm rooted and grounded in your word. Protect them Lord and let their persecutors retreat. Thwart every plan of evil against them. We intercede for those whose faith is wavering. Cause them to hold on to your unchanging hand. For you will never let go of our hand. Though the storm clouds come and the wind may blow, you will never abandon us.  We ask in Jesus name. Amen. 

Prayer for forgiveness
Lord we look to you today for forgiveness. Cleanse us Lord from every sin that so easily besets us.  Wash us with the blood of Jesus. Forgive us our trespasses. You said  though our sins are like scarlet you will wash us white as snow. Give us an undivided heart so we may walk in your ways.  Thou O Lord are a shield about us. You are our glory and the lifter of our head.  See that there be no wicked way in me. Keep us walking on the pathways of righteousness. Let us return to the strait and narrow path. Protect our soul from evil. Deliver us from the evil one. In Jesus name. Amen 

Morning Prayer

We come before you this morning with thanksgiving in our hearts. We thank you Lord for delivering us from the dark web of deceit we were entangled in. Thank you for setting us free to worship you.  Deliver us from evil. We intercede for those still held captive by sin and satan. We pray Lord that they would see the light. We pray that their eyes will be annointed with eye salve. Let the light of the glorious gospel of Christ shine upon them. We plead the blood of Christ as a shield of protection over their lives. Let every plan of satan over their lives be thwarted. We establish your will over their lives and over ours. Thy Kingdom come and Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We declare your Lordship over our lives and our families. You are our shield and exceedingly great reward. We thank you for the many blessings on us. Abba Father we thank you for adopting us as your children. Our God reigns, blessed be the God of our salvation. In Jesus name, amen.
