Prayers

When you need to be strong and brave

Dear Lord,

As I face challenging situations, I don't want to shrink back in fear. I want to trust you and rely on Your strength, being confident in who You are. Help me to face every situation boldly knowing that you are with me.

When you want to be confident in God

Lord, I want to be confident in who You are. Your Word says that you know me and love me and you have good plans for me. Help me to believe this, and help me put my confidence in You, not in my circumstances. Reveal Yourself to me, Lord. Help me to trust You.

When you feel God let you down

Lord,

I confess I've been disappointed, and it's hard for me to trust You. I lay all of my disappointment and anger at Your feet. Help me trust that You are good and working all things for my good even when I don't understand what You are doing or why you would allow certain things. Give me the right perspective. Your ways are higher than mine. I give You permission to reveal Yourself to me in a way I never imagined.

When you need to be brave and step out on what God has called you to

Lord God,

I believe You are calling me to greater things, but I've been afraid to take that step into unfamiliar territory. I surrender to You and to Your will. I want to run towards everything You have for me. I want to obey You and answer the call. Use my gifts, talents, abilities and influence for Your glory. I want to go where You lead me. Help me keep my eyes on You, being assured of who You are. Reveal Yourself to me in a way that I've never known You. Let me rest knowing You are with me. Help me to hear Your voice clearly.

To Receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior
