A Prayer in Supplication, For Seeking, Asking, and Expecting The Best Through God’s Power

I was reading an article from Andrew Wommack tonight and in a long twisting strand of a web of synchronistic happenings in my life lately, it landed squarely on my heart. I feel so much like I’m seeking and seeking and nearly finding just exactly what I’m looking for. And that is, I believe, how a Christian is supposed to live her entire life. It isn’t that we ever are complete or finished here in our earthly lives, it is that God means us to be eternal seekers.

New Living Translation
“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7

Will you pray with me?

God,

I am seeking for You in my life, in every second and moment of it, in every corner and hidden place. I find You and Your Grace and Your fulfilled promises everywhere I look, now that my eyes are open and I am so grateful, Lord. Every day, Lord, I find some new piece of me or my life that I am still not turning over to You, though, God. I see that I am letting worldly expectations and ideas of shame and judgment get in the way of a meaningful relationship with You, Lord, and as I turn each of these hidden parts of me over to You, I experience Your true healing, love, and Grace. I know I can not hide from You. I know You have seen all of my life before You even created it, and I seek today to ask You to remind me to trust You in all things. I am so humbled by that, Lord. We can get so used to keeping pieces of ourselves from people for fear of their reactions, Lord, and I am overjoyed to remember that we need not, even can not, hide from You. Lord, release me, all of me to Your way. I give you all of me, again today, Lord. I pray You forgive me for laying worries at Your feet and then picking them back up, for hiding from You as if You were a mere human parent, and for forgetting to trust in Your love for Your children. Lord, mostly, I ask You to keep showing me how to expect the best from life because I am Your child, how to be content in every situation, yet to keep seeking and asking for more, because You have given us Your Spirit and it has already conquered all.

In grateful supplication, by His Stripes, Amen.

A Prayer For Myself

Dear Lord, I know that my Mother needs a true partner and helper in her life, who also treats her and April with love and respect, but I realize now that I am only getting in the way by trying to be that helper myself. I am getting in the way and I am overwhelming myself and by trying to be all things to all people, I am become unable to really help anyone, much less myself and my own daughter and family. LORD, I am crying out to you for help, for a way to change this situation so that we can all be more content and more able to serve your purposes. Lord, I feel like you have been leading me to this longer than I can quite comprehend, and I am so sorry that I let my fear overcome me when I should have been stepping out in faith long before this. Lord, Please teach me the way You would have me go on, show me where I can do the most good toward Your will for me and Your calling to me. Allow me to stop thinking of possible changes like a divorce between my Mother and I, allow me to realize that we probably are not the best things for each other and that it is unhealthy that I even think that. Lord, help me let go! I have the hardest time of all with letting go and letting you lead. I claim to know that You will protect me and take care of me, and yet, I keep trying to fix things that I should just pray about. Please, heal these parts of my heart that are grieving for a way of life I need to leave behind me, heal my mind of these perverse ways of thinking that have only led to hurting and relationships that don’t work. Help me not to keep chewing on old insults and allowing myself to be hurt by what other people say and think, because You are what matters, and I and my husband are who You say we are in Your word, not who anyone else accuses us of being, including my Mother. Lord, we pray You usher in new understanding between us as a family and allow us the space we need to be able to be good for each other again. I pray You show us how not to dwell on old hurts, and how not to hurt each other anymore. I Thank You for the clarity that has brought us to these decisions and for keeping the paths in front of us clear as well. In Jesus’ Holy Name, Amen.

A Prayer For Miraculous Healing; Or, A Prayer For Eva

Lord, Our God On High,

We are so grateful that you look down over us tonight with lovingkindness as Your Word declares. We are so so grateful that even as our bodies ache and our minds fail us, You are there to heal us on this earth, and to hold our Spirits away from these wounds. We know we can thank Your Son for his benevolent sacrifice, for He walked to that cross with a bravery none here can possess, all because He knew His death would heal us, save us, here on earth. We pray with Faith and Thanks in advance tonight because we know You are sending Your miraculous power into those who ask it, as they ask it, and You are giving their bodies rest. We know have said in Your Word that you will send us healing if we but ask it, and so we do, Lord, humbling ourselves before you. We ask tonight that you come into our bodies as you have our spirits, calm them and allow them to be better each day, better each moment. We pray this in Your Son’s Name, by His Stripes, Praise Jesus, Amen.

A Prayer For All Kinds of Healing, on His Promises

O Lord, my God, I called to you for help and you healed me. Psalm 30:2

Worship the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you,  Exodus 23:25

Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits–who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,  Psalm 103:2-4

 

Lord, today we pray in thanks that You have already healed us. We don’t even have to go so far as to touch a robe of Your Son’s human body, as a poor woman once did, because You love us enough to allow us to be healed while we’re still here on earth. We pray in gratefulness that we KNOW, Lord, that while we may feel ill in this moment, You have already done the healing and if we stand in faith on your promises, we will feel that healing as well. You are all mighty, and we are so so humbled by the idea that You’d take this care of us, Lord. We are so grateful, and overwhelmed by Your Grace and Love. By His Stripes, We Are Healed! Amen
