Dear Lord Jesus,

Today I pray for the children in my family, in my community and for children all around the world.

The pressures and stresses that have been brought on by social media alone are strong.

Please intervene in these children’s lives and hearts so that they may come to know You and Your love.

May their identity be grounded in You.

May they know that their worth comes from You.

I lift up the children that are lonely, or are victims of bullying or are under the immense pressure to “fit in.”

Let Your Holy Spirit minister to each one and protect their hearts and minds.

Please help me to be an encouragement to the children in my life.

I pray for a generation of children that will grow into strong followers of Jesus and who will work towards making the world a place full of God’s grace and love.

Please help each child to grow as Jesus grew...

And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature,
and in favor with God and men.
Luke 2:52

In the powerful name of Jesus I pray,

Amen.

Dear Father God,

Please let me fully experience Your love and share Your love with others...

Beloved, let us love one another,
for love is of God;
and everyone who loves
is born of God and knows God.
1 John 4:7

I want to know You more, much more than I do.

You are the awesome God, as the Prophet Daniel prayed...

And I prayed to the Lord my God,
and made confession, and said,
“O Lord, great and awesome God,
who keeps His covenant and mercy with those who love Him,
and with those who keep His commandments...
Daniel 9:4

I ask for Your Holy Spirit to lead me so that I will take time each day to sit before You in quiet.

I desire to read my Bible, Your Holy Word, in order to know You more intimately.

I long to develop an ear to hear Your voice and to commune with You in prayer.

Lord, I come to You for all things.

Please place within my heart a deep desire to know You, to grow closer to You and to present Your Love to every person I meet.

I trust You to guide and bless me today.

In the sovereign name of Jesus I pray,

Amen.

Dear Lord God,

You are the one who holds the future...

While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat, Winter and summer,
And day and night Shall not cease.
Genesis 8:22

You are the Creator who gives life to tiny seeds buried in soil.

You designed the butterfly who waits in a chrysalis while Your miracle of transformation takes place.

Help me to trust You as You make me into a display of Your creative splendor.

Thank You for Your promise to see Your good work in me through to completion...
.He who has begun a good work in you
will complete it...
Philippians 1:6

Thank You for Your promise to make me new...

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
the new creation has come:
The old has gone, the new is here!

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your generosity and kindness to me.

I look to You as the perfect example of how to give generously.

I want to be more giving and generous, as Paul encourages all Christians...

So let each one give as he purposes in his heart,
not grudgingly or of necessity;
for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7

Because of Your Holy Spirit within me, I can learn to love, live and give generously.

Please show me the ways You want me to give to my family, my friends, my church, my community and to Your missions work around the world.

Open my eyes to the giving opportunities around me, and please lead me to give of my time, my talents and the resources that you have entrusted to me, generously giving to those in need around me.

Whether I invest in a family outing, write an encouraging note to a friend, volunteer in my church or in a local ministry, or generously give to my church and to those in need, please help me to see what You have for me and please prompt me to act.

In the abundant name of Jesus I pray,

Amen.

I am in awe of You and I desire to draw nearer to you, Thank You for drawing near to me. James 4:8

I want to live my life walking with You, talking with You and pursuing Your will for me each day.

I will listen for You to guide me...

Your ears shall hear a word behind you,
saying, “This is the way, walk in it,”
Whenever you turn to the right hand
Or whenever you turn to the left.
Isaiah 30:21

My Lord Jesus, I want to listen for Your voice and be more flexible so that Your voice can instruct me throughout each day...

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. John 10:27

My Lord Jesus, You called me to be, "...the salt of the earth. But, if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?" (Matthew 5:13)

Lord Jesus, I do not want to lose my saltiness...
please strengthen my Christian witness and service to others in the holy name of Jesus.

I am listening for You so that when You speak, I will not only hear You, but that I will go where You lead me and I will do what you tell me to do.

All for Your name and for Your glory my Lord Jesus.

In the holy name of Jesus I pray,

Amen.

Dear Lord God,

Thank You for Your everlasting love.

You are my God, and I will ever praise You.

Please help me to draw near to You today, I long for you to draw near to me (James 4:8).

I pray that Your Holy Spirit will help me to set my mind on things above...

If then you were raised with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.
Set your mind on things above,
not on things on the earth.

Help me to reflect Your love and grace in every part of my life as you renew me each day...

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Thank You for Your presence in my life today, that as I draw near to You, You are so good to draw near to me.

Lord, when I struggle to know Your nearness, I pray that You will renew my faith and my awareness that You will never leave me nor forsake me.

O Lord , my God.

Dear Father God,

You give the Bread of God, Your precious son Jesus, to every person in the world. John 6:33

You are the hope for the hopeless and You are unwavering in Your love for me.

Lord, I lift up all the anxiety that I am harboring, the worries of providing for my needs and the feelings of inadequacy that can arise.

I pray that You would take my burdens from me my Lord and give me new hope in You.

Please help me to trust You to heal me, and let me release to You all of my worries and stress...

Be anxious for nothing,
but in everything by prayer and supplication,
with thanksgiving,
let your requests be made known to God;
and the peace of God,
which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
​Philippians 4:6-7

Please fill me with Your indescribable joy and strength for this new year.

Great are You Lord, in You I trust.

I will no longer be filled with fear and anxiety. I will look to You for all things.

Thank You Lord,

Amen.
