Prayers

Father God, thank you for Your wisdom, which you give freely to us when we ask for it. Lord, I need Your wisdom and understanding to live my life according to Your will. I ask, please Lord, give me wisdom in making the right choices, give me wisdom in where I should go, who I must see and what I must do. Give me Your Words of wisdom when I speak and let it all be done in love and mercy so that I won't become cynical in my wisdom. I am crying out for Your wisdom and understanding. I need it Lord. Thank you that You hear my prayer and that You will answer me even while I speak. I praise You for the abundance of wisdom that will flood my life. Keep me from any foolishness, I pray. I ask this all in the precious name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Amen 

​

Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus, I ask for Your almighty protection over me and my family. I ask, Lord, that You will give Your angels charge over my life and that of my family. I pray, Lord, that You will hide me in Your pavilion, that You will cover me under Your wings and that You will surround me with Your presence. And even if I am surrounded by trouble, Lord, You will protect my life. With Your right hand, You will save me. You are my refuge and strength and guards me from evil. Thank You, Lord, that You are faithful and watch over me all the days of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for Your blood that covers me and protects me from the evil one. I praise and worship You, Lord, and give You all the glory for Your protection. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank you, Lord, that You know the plans you have for me, to give me a hope and a future. You created me for a time such as this and even in my old age you will take care of me. I do not have to be anxious about anything, because you will never leave nor forsake me. I will rejoice in the complete work of Your hands in my life. I pray for the release of Your plans in my life. The plans that You have ordained for me from the beginning of time, when You formed me in my mother's womb. I pray for the fulfilment of Your Word over my life and I know that none of it will return void, because You stand watch over Your Word to perform it. Thank you. Jesus, for giving me new life and making me part of Your heavenly Kingdom. And because of You, Jesus, I can always live a life of victory. Hallelujah!

Amen

Thank you Father, that You hear us when we pray. Thank you, that I can come boldly into Your throne room in times of need. We need you now more than ever to save our nation, Lord. Have mercy on us, Father God, and rescue us from the wicked, evil one. May the plans of the wicked be futile and come to nothing. Destroy all of their plans, we pray. We declare Your Word of blessing, peace, justice and righteousness over South Africa. May You shine Your Face upon us and pour out Your favour on Your people. We speak life, abundant life over our nation. We ask this because of Jesus, our Saviour, and the price He paid on the cross for us. Stir a passion in our hearts for Your Word and plans, Lord, and let us rise in fire and victory. May the enemy be scattered and may we, Your children, dwell in peace in the land that you have given us. Thank you for your blessings, the blessings of Abraham, on us as a nation. We thank You, Lord, for saving South Africa.  We pray this in the name of Your Beloved Son, Jesus. Amen.

Lord, You know my heart. You understand my deepest wants and needs. You know my every intention. You know me better than I know myself. There is nowhere I could run to escape Your presence and nothing I can hide from You. That is why, right now, I ask You to give me Your divine wisdom and guidance. I don’t always know what to pray for. My soul is weary, and I am tired. I often worry about making the right decision, but I want to live a life that honours you.

Even though I may feel like I can’t move forward or see what is ahead, You see me. And You know me. Please guide me through your Holy Spirit. Show me the path that leads to abundant life and convict me when I am tempted to stray from You. As You guide me, I pray for Your restoration in me, Jesus. I will place my hope in You at all times, because You know all things and by You, my life is held together. You are my strength in times of need, and you have become my salvation.

Hold me close, Lord, and teach me to walk in a manner worthy of the purpose you have for me. Direct my steps as You guard my life. May my life glorify You.

In Jesus’ name

Amen

Father God, I come in humility before you today. I acknowledge You as Lord and that I need Your guidance in my life. Teach me Your ways and guide me in Your paths of righteousness. Let me not be wise in my own eyes and let me seek counsel from Your word daily. Help me to receive correction so that I will grow in wisdom and discernment. Let me not boast in my own knowledge, but let me remember from where my help comes from. Let me always give You the honour and praise due to Your name. Thank You, Holy Spirit, that You will teach me in the way I should go and that You will keep my foot from slipping. I trust in Your counsel, God, and not in my own ability or wisdom. Without You, I am nothing, but with You I can leap over mountains. You guide me in the way I should go and I will be blessed not by my might or power, but by Your Holy Spirit alone.

In Jesus' name.

Amen

Father God, I come in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, and ask for Your blessings to be poured out into my life. Lord, bless me with all that I put my hand to. Bless my comings and goings. Let goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life. Keep evil far from me and keep me from evil. Let Your blessing be upon my entire household and may Your face shine upon us daily, Father. Fill me with the knowledge of Your will so that I can walk in Your wisdom and understanding. Guide me through Your Holy Spirit to live a life worthy of You, Father. Thank you for blessing me as Your child, a co-heir in Christ, that not only share in His sufferings but also in His glory. I praise You for Your goodness and that You work all things for the good of those that love You. Thank you, Father, for every promise of blessing in Your Word to Your chosen ones. I receive my promises and rejoice in Your faithfulness and that You stand over Your Word to perform it. I receive all this because of Jesus. Amen.

Father God, thank you for giving me all the weapons that I need to fight the enemy. Holy Spirit, help me secure the belt of truth by always living according to the truth and rejecting all lies. Help me to always choose truth over deception. Give me the wisdom to protect my heart at all times, with the breastplate of righteousness. Reveal to me Your righteousness that I have in Jesus and help me walk in that righteousness daily. Thank you for the Gospel of Jesus, which is my testimony. I know I overcome the enemy by the power of my testimony, which is based on the good news of Jesus and His shed blood for me. Help me, Holy Spirit, to not give in to fear, but to always remember that I have the Spirit of Power, Love and sound mind, with which I am able to quench the fiery darts of the enemy. Let me not drop my shield of faith, but strengthen my faith, Lord. Thank You, Father, that I can guard my mind by taking captive all negative accusations from the enemy. Help me to never forget the salvation that is in Jesus and that I am a new creation in Christ. The old has passed away. Give me an understanding and desire for Your Word, God, so that I can grow into the likeness of Jesus. Remind me, Holy Spirit, of the Words of God when the enemy comes against me and that I can slay him with the Sword of the Spirit. Holy Spirit, reveal to me where my armour is not in place and how to fix it. Help me walk daily in the full armour of God. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Father God, I confess Your Word over my children. I declare they are taught of the Lord and great will be their peace. (Is 54:13). I pray and declare that my children will grow in wisdom and stature and that they will have favour with God and with man. (Luke 2:52). Lord, please give Your angels charge over my children to accompany and protect them and keep them in all their ways. (Ps.91).

I declare that my children will delight themselves in the Lord and that they are willing to do and obey Your Word, Father God. They will choose life and Jesus as their Saviour.  May they prosper in the land that You have given them. May goodness and mercy follow them all the days of their lives and they will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

I plead the blood of the Lord Jesus on my children and their children. I thank You, Lord, that through the blood of Jesus, they can enter into the Holy of Holies with boldness and that sin and quilt will not keep them from seeking You.

I pray for restoration, healing and wholeness in their lives. May they walk in joy and peace, rejoicing in their Saviour, Jesus, all the days of their lives. May God's will be done in their lives, to the glory of His kingdom. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Lord, I can do nothing of myself. I need You, Holy spirit, to teach and guide me to live a life worthy of Jesus. I surrender my life, my dreams, my plans and my works to You today and I ask for Your help. Thank you, Jesus, for giving me a new life, for making me righteous. I know I am only righteous because of You, Jesus. I can never be that in myself. No matter how hard I try, my efforts will still be like filthy rags. Only You, Jesus, make me worthy, and that gives me entry into the throne room of God. I submit myself to You today, Lord, and ask for Your will to be done in my life. It is no longer I that live, Jesus, but You that live in me. Help me to walk daily as a living sacrifice by laying down my life on the altar for You. I submit all my ways to You, Lord and deny my own self. I take up my cross in following you with my whole heart, soul and body. I pray for Your kingdom to come and Your will be done in my life. I ask this in the beautiful name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Amen.
