Christian Daily Prayer

I believe in the Holy Triune of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and I believe the Bible is God’s word.  The Bible says, God spoke the world into existence, God made us in His image, and there is power in our thoughts, words, and actions.  I have faith in God, I know I am saved by His grace, in Jesus, who fulfilled the law for us.  I know God gave us a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind, and offers the Holy Spirit to teach and guide us, and that our desires of our flesh are against the Spirit.  I know life guarantees us change, opportunities, challenges, and choices.  I repent of my sins, humble myself, pray, draw near to God, cleanse my hands, purify my heart, and ask for wisdom and willpower.  I will be strong and courageous, submit to God, resist my flesh and adversary, and sanctify myself in truth.

Father God in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.  Father God, I praise You, and want to glorify You.  I love You, trust You, and worship You.  You are my fortress, my refuge, and my avenger.  I know I am Your workmanship, and I will be open to waiting on You.  I will pursue knowledge of Your word, Your ways, and myself, for favor with You and other people, and to be healthy.  I am a light in the world, and I will strive to be positive, calm, and clear. I will seek wisdom, with courage and caring.  I know You give wisdom and from Your mouth come knowledge and understanding, and they are better than gold, and add years to my life, with peace.  I know You feel that deceptive practices are terrible, and You hate arrogance, lies, who sheds innocent blood, who creates wicked plans, who does evil, a false witness, and who stirs up trouble between friends.  I will guard my heart, thoughts, and words, knowing I am fearfully and wonderfully made.  I will serve in the new way of the Spirit, for nothing can separate me from Your love through Jesus. 

Lord Jesus, I declare You as my Lord and Savior, and I believe that You were raised from the dead by God.  With Your crucifixion I put away my old self, and I crucify my pride, fear, and desires of the flesh.  With Your resurrection I put on my new self with humility, courage, and desires of the Spirit.  With Your ascension I accept my place and power in You.  I am not condemned, but I am justified, redeemed, and free.  As challenges arise, I will overcome and have peace in You, knowing You overcame the world.  I will strive to do what’s right, to apply love and discernment with humility, and a positive and grateful attitude, understanding light dawns in the darkness for the upright.  In You, I am forgiven, and I am a citizen of heaven.  I will strive to forgive, speak life, help build people up, be diligent, and work as if unto the Lord.  I understand I am a spirit with a soul, in a body, and I am God’s temple for the Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit, I accept your help to guide my choices.  Greater is the Holy Spirit in me, than me in the world.  I willgrow myself and grow in fellowship with other people.  I will strive to improve my thoughts, knowledge and emotions, being quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger, which gives understanding.  I understand the wise are careful but the foolish are careless, and a soul without knowledge is not good.  I understand people who hate stir up anger, but love covers offenses.  I will strive to be loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, and exercise kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control.  I will strive to help people as I have opportunity, and walk in the light, with humility, guided by the Golden Rule and the Silver Rule.  I am grateful for my life, and the good things to come. I am worthy.

I will be strong in the Lord and put on the armor of God.  I understand our works reflect our faith, the diligent are rewarded, but the love of money is the root of many evils.  I will strive to not be conformed to the world, but to be transformed by renewing my mind and discerning God’s will.  I am not fearful, I am powerful and loving, with a sound mind.  I will strive to live with grace, truth, and integrity, and make good use of my time. I will pray and keep alert with perseverance.  I am hopeful and capable, and I will strive to strengthen my faith, spirit, mind, body, and fellowship, and seek the truth and speak the truth in love.  I am loved by God and Jesus, and I am blessed.  Great is God’s steadfast love and faithfulness.  I will love God and people, be steadfast, proclaim the gospel, and help people, including strangers, widows, the fatherless, and the poor.  Father God, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, for your glory.  In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
