deliverance prayers

some sample deliverance and bondage breaking prayers. Please understand that there may be other factors involved in any given bondage, such as if you are trying to break a soul tie with a rock group, but refuse to get rid of any CD's that you have from them. If you're suffering from a deep bondage in these areas, it may be a good idea to have a strong fellow believer present incase the demons begin to manifest.

breaking soul ties

Heavenly Father, I confess and repent of the sin of ___________ (name the sin which caused the evil soul tie, such as adultery or fornication), and I ask that you forgive me of this sin. [Now is a good time to destroy or get rid of any physical gifts or other objects that could hold the soul tie together, such as a gift given in an adultery, etc. Anything that could hold the bond together between you and that person.] In the name of Jesus, and by the power of His blood, I now renounce, break and sever all unholy soul ties formed between ___________ (name the person) and myself, through the sin of ____________ (name the sin which caused the evil soul tie, such as adultery or fornication). I now command any evil spirits which have taken advantage of this unholy soul tie to leave me now in the name of Jesus! (Repeat this prayer if you have more then one evil soul tie to break)

Renouncing ungodly vows

Heavenly Father, I repent and renounce the vow I made to ____________ (name the demon or person, or even God, that you made the vow to) to preform ______________ (describe what the vow entailed). I realize this was foolish and rash on my behalf, and I ask that you will forgive me and release me from the bondage that this vow has brought me under. In the name of Jesus, and by the power of His blood, I now renounce, break and nullify the vow to ________________ to preform ___________, and I confess that I am released from this vow and it's bondage in Jesus' name. I now command any evil spirits which have taken advantage of this unholy vow to leave me now in the name of Jesus! (Repeat this prayer if you have more then one unholy vow to break)

renounce involvement with unhealthy (demonic) music

Heavenly Father, I confess that I used to listen to unhealthy demonic music. I ask that you will forgive and cleanse me from this sin. In the name of Jesus, and through the power of His blood, I now renounce, break and sever all soul ties that have been formed between myself and the unhealthy music (name specific songs and artists/groups if possible) I used to listen to and enjoy, as well as any soul ties formed between myself and the artists and groups (name them specifically if possible) and demonic influences that have produced these unhealthy songs and music. In Jesus' name, I also renounce, break and nullify any curses that I may have come under as a result of listening to the unhealthy music I used to listen to and enjoy. In the name of Jesus, I now command all evil spirits to leave me that have taken advantage of these soul ties I have just renounced. In the name of Jesus, I also renounce and command any evil spirits that have taken advantage of any curses that I have come under as a result of listening to unhealthy music to leave me now in Jesus' name! I also renounce and command any evil spirits that have entered me through my listening to this unhealthy music to leave me now in the name of Jesus'!

breaking generational curses

In the name of Jesus, I confess the sins and iniquities of my parents (name specific sins if known), grandparents (name specific sins if known), and all other ancestors. In the name of Jesus, and by the power of His blood, I now renounce, break and sever all cords of iniquity and generational curses I have inherited from my parents, grandparents and all other ancestors and break and sever all unholy soul ties formed between myself and my parents, grandparents and all other ancestors. In the name of Jesus, I now loose myself and my future generations from any bondages passed down to me from my ancestors and I command any evil spirits which have taken advantage of these cords of iniquity, generational curses and unholy soul ties to leave me now in the name of Jesus!

oración para la protección de Dios

Poderosa oración para la protección divina en la vida de los seres y en tu vida. Abba Creador de todo planeta , declaro que Tú eres quién me protege de día y de noche, Deposito en Ti mi total confianza. Me pongo bajo la sombra de Tus alas para vivir seguro y tranquilo. Te nombro y establezco como el único guardián y protector de todos y de mi. En el nombre de Jesús derroto toda fuerza del enemigo, toda violencia, robo, accidente, desgracia y enfermedad, resisto todo mal y declaro que Tu protección me libera. Te pido la cobertura angelical alrededor de la vida de todas Tus ovejas y mi vida. Me cubro con la preciosa sangre de YAHUSHOUA Cristo en todo lo que haga y en todo lo que me pertenece. Junto a Ti no le temo a ningún terror de la noche ni amenaza de día, Tu fuego me rodea y me aparte de la injusticia y la maldad. Acudo a Ti, mi torre fuerte, mi alto refugio para hallar seguridad y ser cubierto de mis enemigos. Cuídanos como a los niños de Tus ojos y se nuestro refugio ante cualquier tempestad. Gracias Te damos Adonai DIOS por estar cubiertos continuamente por la sangre de Cristo YESHUA . Gracias por dejarnos estar en la palma de Tu mano, de donde nadie nos puede arrebatar. Gracias por cada día velar por el cuidado de todas Tus ovejas y el mio. Gracias porque viviéremos tranquilos y resguardados toda nuestra vida sobre el amparo de Tu poderosa mano. En el nombre de Jesús YASHOUA HA MACHIACH, Amén.

prayer after reconciliation

My dearest GOD , I have told all my sins to the best of our ability. I have sincerely tried to make a good confession and I know that you have forgiven me. Thank You dear GOD ! Your divine heart is full of love and mercy for poor sinners. We love YOU dear GOD ; You are so good to us. Our loving Savior, we shall try to keep from sin and to love You more each day. Dear GOD , ask Jesus to pray for us and help us to keep all our promises. Protect us and do not let us fall back into sin. Dear God, help us to lead a good life. Without Your grace we can do nothing. In the name of YAHUSHUA. Amen.

prayer after reconciliation

What thanks do I not owe You, my God, not only for having created me, redeemed me, and called me to the bosom of Your Church, but still more for having waited for my return while I wandered from You in the miserable paths of sin; for having so often pardoned me as I pray You have done this day; and for preserving me from so many other sins, into which I should have fallen but for Your prevention. But my enemies will not cease to tempt until death, and if You do not support me, I am lost. I shall soon begin to offend You more grievously than ever. Grant me, through the merits of Jesus Christ, the precious grace of final perseverance. The divine Saviour has assured me that whever we ask in HIS name You will grant. I entreat You, through all that Your dear Son has suffered for me, never to let me forsake You any more. I have the greatest confidence that, through my steady prayers for this grace, You will grant it, because You have promised to hear our prayers. But I fear that, in some unguarded moment, when the world seems more important, I will forget my dependence on You, fail to ask for Your help and support, and relapse into my former misery. Grant that under all my temptations I may have instant recourse to You, invoking the holy name of Jesus. Through this, my Lord, I hope to pass from this world to Heaven, to love You forever, where I am sure to never be seperated from You, to be concumed in the fire of Your holy love for eternity. in the name of YEHUSHUA. Amen.

If you believe that the Bible offers truth about the way to salvation, but you have not made the decision yet to become a Christian, it's as simple as praying this prayer. You can pray by yourself, using your own words. There is no special formula. Just pray from your heart to God, and He will save you. If you feel lost and just don’t know what to pray, here’s a prayer of salvation that you can pray:

Dear Lord YEHUSHUA, I admit that I am a sinner. I have done many things that don’t please YOU. I have lived my life for myself. I am sorry and I repent. I ask YOU to forgive me. I believe that YOU died on the cross for me, to save me. You did what I could not do for myself. I come to YOU now and ask YOU to take control of my life, I give it to YOU. Help me to live every day in a way that pleases YOU. I love YOU, Lord, and I thank YOU that I will spend all eternity with YOU. Amen.

prayer for the chronically ill

O Lord, through the passion of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we beseech Thee to watch over and guide all those who suffer from chronic illness. Grant to them the courage to face their situations so that others may see Your perpetual light shining through them, as a beacon of strength that overcomes setbacks, and reaffirms Your Precious Love for all the sheep among Your flock. We are all Your children in spite of their physical situation, and Your Loving Son shepherds those of us who believe. Grant them & grant us all the spiritual and mental strength to endure so that we may live in Your Divine Shadow. In the name of Jesus Christ, King of Kings, please hear and bless this prayer O Heavenly Father. Amen;

prayer of salvation

Father, I know that I have broken Your laws and my sins have separated me from YOU. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward YOU. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your Son, Jesus died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite YOU YAHUVEH to become the Lord of my life, [[to rule and reign in my existance[[ from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Intercessory Prayers for Others – Prayers for the Needs of Others

“Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray that (person(s) name) will come to the knowledge (and deliverance power) of the Truth and be saved from destruction (of mental illness). Father, according to Psalm 107:20, You sent Your Word and healed (person(s) name) and delivered him/her from all his/her destructions. I am calling upon You in the day of trouble, asking You to deliver(person(s) name) and in the name of Jesus he/she shall honor and glorify You. Father, I thank You for delivering his/her soul from death and his/her feet from falling, so that he/she may walk before You.

It is You, Father, Who delivers (person(s) name) from the pit and corruption of (name of disorder: schizophrenia, paranoia, manic depression, etc.) Father, You have not given him/her a spirit of timidity and fear, but You have given (person(s) name)a spirit of power and of love and of calm and well balanced mind and discipline and self-control.

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind,”(2 Tim 1:7) KJV


In the name of Jesus, I ask You, Father to forgive (person(s) name)sins and (and his/her ancestors’ sins, and now) I stand in the gap for him/her until he/she (like King Nebuchadnezzar) comes to his/her senses and escaped out of the snare of the devil, who has held him/her captive.

Father, I commit to pray on (person(s) name) behalf making up the hedge, and standing in the gap before You for her/him, that your mercy might triumphant over judgment. Jesus, You defeated the devil for(person(s) name) we take back everything Satan as stolen from him/her.

I decree and declare that the law of the (Holy) Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made him/her free from the law of sin and death. (Person(s) name)shall no longer be of 2 minds – hesitating, dubious, irresolute – unstable and unreliable and uncertain about everything (he/she thinks, feels and decides). (Person(s) name) shall get rid of all uncleanness, receive and welcome the Word, which, implanted and rooted [in his/her heart], contains the power to save his/her soul (mind, will, and emotions).

In the name of Jesus, grace be to (person(s) name) and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for his/her (and his ancestors’) sin so that He might deliver him/her from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father, to Whom be glory forever and ever. In Jesus’ Name — Amen.”

“Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” — 1 Peter 1:13-16 KJV

Father God, in the name of Jesus, We place the blood of the Lord Jesus on our doorposts (Exodus 12; 13); We draw the bloodline of Jesus around all of our possessions and properties; (Jos. 2:18); and We sprinkle (Ex 24:8; 29:20, 21; Lev 1:5; 4:6); or place the blood of Jesus upon our family.”

Thank You Father that you will put a wall of fire around our home and our presence guarding us with Your Divine protection according to Your Word in Zech. 2:5. Father, We agree with Pastor Pat, that all the demons and powers of this witchcraft are bound and we forbid those demons to be able to complete plans of torment and death to anyone… We place a supernatural tent over them and all blood sacrifices, either human or animals cannot be release over anyone and they will remain with them. Thank You Father that you will give us wisdom. I rebuke, break and loose: my family from any and all evil CURSES sent by wizard, witches or psychic Christians. We bind all the powers from blood sacrifices, (animal or human) fetishes, charms, vexes, hexes, spells, jinxes, psychotic powers, sorcery, bewitchment, enchantments, witchcraft, love potions and psychotic source.


In the name of Jesus, we bind every demon commanding them to where they came from, now. (Genesis 12:2, 28-29, Deuteronomy 30:7, Psalms 109:17-19). Let him that loves curses receive it to himself. (Psalm 109). Through the blood of Jesus, We are redeemed out of the hand of the devil. Through the blood of the Jesus, all my sins are forgiven. The blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is cleansing me now from all sin. Through the blood of Jesus, We are justified, made righteous just as if WE never sinned. Through the blood of Jesus, We are sanctified, made holy, set apart for God. We are believers the name of Jesus Christ, We exercise our authority and expel’ all evil spirits. WE command them to leave now according to the Word of God and in the name of Jesus Christ.

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 .They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” — Mark 16:15-18 KJV

Our bodies are the temple for the Holy Spirit, redeemed, cleansed: sanctified – by the blood of Jesus. We belong to the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s Son – body, soul and spirit. His blood protects us from all evil. Because of the blood, Satan has no more power over and no more places in us. We renounce him and his hosts completely and declare them to be our enemies.

Deliverance from the Stolen Mind and Satan’s Captivity

In Africa, witches and wizards can steal the minds of people and exchange intelligences into the minds of their children. I ministered to several young men while in Africa that had their minds stolen in this manner… How it works, I can’t say but Jesus’ power can heal them.
Both men were healed and restored. One returned to college, the other remained in Bishop Kanco’s church and became a worker there. Both cases were the result of witchcraft powers being worked against them.

This is how I prayed for them.

I bound the witchcraft power that had been worked over their lives and released the power of Jesus and His mind over them. Phil 2:5, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus,” KJV
Bound the strongmen and his demonic helpers that have stolen the mind of (person(s) name) In the name of Jesus
I put the strongmen and helpers under the feet of Jesus.
I bound the powers of the Wizards and witches.
Called their minds back asking the Lord to reconcile them to Him. Col 1:21. All in the name of Jesus

I discovered years ago that some people that are under mind controllers, minds were shattered by traumas and fear. When we ministered to them, we simply commanded their Minds to return and ask Jesus to give them a single mind. Being double minded makes a person unstable in all his ways and mentally ill. Therefore, it also attacks their nervous system and causes illness. God can heal it. James 1:8 “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” KJV

I loose everything the enemy has stolen, talents and sound mind and command him to return it.
I command the demons to go under the feet of Jesus.
In the name of Jesus, I reclaim all the things that Satan has stolen from (person(s) name)
In the name of Jesus, I LOOSE all that Satan has stolen from (person(s) name)
I
n the name of Jesus, upon (person(s) name) mind I LOOSE spiritual knowledge, revelation, insight, understanding, wisdom, truth, discernment, diligent searching, freedom and permanent deliverance.
According to Isaiah 11:2 and Ephesians 1:17-18 may the Holy Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge, revelation and fear of the Lord come to dwell in (person(s) name)
According to Isaiah 11:3 may (person(s) name) not judge after the sight of his eyes neither reprove after the hearing of his ears, but according to the insight, counsel, justice and mercy of the Lord
We thank You in advance. We bless You, Lord Jesus. We adore, praise and worship You, In Jesus Name, Amen.

the joy of His resurrection

O God, who for our redemption gave Your only-begotten Son to the death of the cross, and by his glorious resurrection delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with Jesus Christ of Nazareth in the joy of his resurrection; who lives and reigns now and for ever.

evening christian prayers

O my YAHWEH , at the end of this day all the animals and many humans across the globe thank You most heartily for all the graces we have received from You. We are sorry that we have not made a better use of them. We are sorry for all the sins we have committed against You. Forgive us, O our YAHWEH , and graciously protect all Your beings this night. Blessed GOD, our dear heavenly Father, take all Your beings under Your protection. Ask Yahshua to pray for us all . Sweet YAHWEH , have pity on all poor sinners, and save them from hell. Have mercy on the suffering souls in purgatory. In Yahshua' name .

Amen.

generally, this evening prayer is followed by an act of contrition, which is usually said in conjunction with an examination of conscience. A daily examination of conscience consists of a brief recounting of our actions during the day. What sins did we commit? Where did we fail? In what areas of our lives can we strive to make virtuous progress? Having determined our failures and sins, we make an act of contrition.

Act of Contrition

My God, many human beings around planet earth am sorry for our sins with all our heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, we have sinned against You whom we should love above all things. We firmly intend, with Your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads us to sin. Our Savior Yeshua suffered and died for us. In his name, our YAHWEH , have mercy.

prayer before the closing of the day

Before the closing of the day,
Creator, we Thee humbly pray,
That, for Thy wonted mercy's sake,
Thou us under protection take.
May nothing in our minds excite
Vain dreams and phantoms of the night;
Our enemies repress, that so
Our bodies no uncleanness know.
In this, most gracious Father, hear,
With Christ, Thy equal Son, our prayer;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.

Amen.

Jesus Explained The Eucharist The Day After Feeding The 5000

Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.John 6:53-56

Jesus Gave Us The Eucharist For All Time The Night Before He Died

"While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins. " Matthew 26:26-28

Today Some Cannot Accept The Gift Just As It Was In The Time Of Jesus

"'But there are some of you who do not believe.' Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him. And he said, 'For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.' As a result of this, many (of) his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. Jesus then said to the Twelve, 'Do you also want to leave?' Simon Peter answered him, 'Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.'" John 6:64-68

Prayer to GOD for Humility

O my most humble YAHWEH, Who for love of me did humble Yourself and become obedient unto the death of the cross, how dare I appear before You and call myself Your follower when I see myself so proud that I cannot bear a single slight without resenting it! How, indeed, can I be proud, when by my sins I have so often deserved to be cast into the abyss of hell! O Jesus, meek and humble of heart, help me and make me like You.

You, for love of me, bore so many insults and injuries. I, for love of You, will bear slights and humiliations patiently. But You see, O Jesus, how proud I am in my thoughts, how disdainful in my words, how ambitious in my deeds. Grant me true humility of heart and a clear knowledge of my own nothingness. May I, for love of You, rejoice at being despised and feel no resentment when others are preferred before me. Let me not be filled with pride when I am praised, but seek only to be great in Your sight and to please You in all things. Amen.

BEHOLD ME, MOST MERCIFUL JESUS

Behold me, most merciful Jesus: a poor sinner; I cast myself at Thy sacred feet, penetrated with sorrow for my sins. Oh! let not pride any longer occupy my heart. How vain I am! How sensitive to the least humiliation! How anxious for the praise and esteem of men! How easily influenced by human respect! how many sins against charity I have committed through pride --- unkind words and actions, anger, hatred, jealousy, and revenge! let no pride any longer dominate and disturb the peace of my soul --- that soul, which Thou, my Savior, hast so tenderly loved and redeemed at so great a cost!

Cleanse my poor soul, O Jesus, from all offensive stains, and drown my imperfections in the boundless ocean of Thy mercy. My Jesus, mercy! Sweetest Jesus, grant me an increase of faith, hope, and charity; a contrite and humble heart. Amen.

To obtain detachment from earthly goods (against greed

O GOD, Your Son chose a life of poverty and obscurity. Grant me the grace to keep my heart detached from the transitory things of this world. Let it be that henceforth, You are my only treasure, for You are infinitely more precious than all others possessions. My heart is too solicitous for the vain and fleeting things of earth. Make me always mindful of Your warning words: "What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world, but suffer the loss of his own soul?" Grant me the grace to keep the holy example of Yehushua always before my eyes, that I may despise the nothingness of this world and make You the object of all my desires and affections. In the name of Christ. Amen.

St. Aloysius, adorned with angelic virtues, I commend to you most earnestly the chastity of my mind and body. I pray you, by your angelic purity, commend me to the Immaculate Lamb, Jesus Christ, and to His most holy Mother, the Virgin of virgins, and to protect me from every grievous sins. Permit me not to defile myself by any spot of impurity; and when you see me in temptation or in danger of sin, banish far from my heart every unclean thought and desire. Awaken in me the thought of eternity and of Jesus Crucified; imprint deeply in my heart a lively sense of the holy fear of God; set me on fire with the love of God and grant me the grace to imitate you on earth, that I may enjoy the possession of God with you in heaven. Amen.

Prayer to Overcome Sloth and lukewarmness

O my God, I know well that so negligent a life as mine cannot please You. I know that by my lukewarmness I have closed the door to the graces which You desire to bestow on me. O my God, do not reject me, as I deserve, but continue to be merciful toward me, and I will make great efforts to amend and to arise from this miserable state. In the future I will be more careful to overcome my passions and to follow Your inspirations; and never through slothfulness will I omit my duties, but will strive to fulfill them with greater diligence and fidelity. In short, I will from this time forward do all I can to please You, and will neglect nothing which I know to be pleasing to You. Since You, O my GOD, has been so liberal with Your graces toward me and Yehushua has deigned to give His Blood and His Life for me, I am sorry for having acted with so little generosity toward Him, Who is worthy of all honor and all love. But, O my YAHWEH, You know my weakness. Help me with Your powerful grace; in You I confide. In the name of Christ. Amen.

Prayer of souls enslaved by bad habits

Behold me, O my God, at Your Feet! I do not deserve mercy, but, O my Redeemer, the Blood which You had shed for me encourages and obliges me to hope for it. How often I have offended You, and yet I have again fallen into the same sin. O my God, I wish to amend, and in order to be faithful to You, I will place all my confidence in You. I will, whenever I am tempted, instantly have recourse to You. Hitherto, I have trusted in my own promises and resolutions and have neglected to recommend myself to You in my temptations. This has been the cause of my repeated failures. From this day forward, O YAHWEH, be my strength, and thus I shall be able to do all things, for "I can do all things in Him who strengthens me." Amen.

To Overcome Some Vice Such as Intemperance or Impurity

O God, Who broke the chains of blessed Peter the Apostle, and made him come forth unscathed, loose the bonds of Your servant, (name), held in captivity by the vice of (name it); and by the merits of the same Apostle, grant me/him/her to be delivered from its tyranny. Remove from my/his/her heart all excessive love for sensual pleasures and gratifications, so that living soberly, justly and piously, I/he/she may attain to everlasting life with You. Amen.



Against Evil Thoughts

Almighty and all-merciful God, look favorably upon our prayers and free our hearts from temptation to evil thoughts, that we may deserve to be accounted worthy dwelling places of the Holy Spirit. Shed upon our hearts the brightness of Your grace, that we may ever think thoughts worthy of Your majesty and pleasing to You, and ever sincerely love You. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.



Prayer for God's Graces

O my God, remember that moment when for the first time You poured Your grace into my heart, washing me of original sin that You might receive me into the number of Your children. O God, You Who are my Father, grant me in Your infinite mercy, through the merits and Blood of Jesus Christ, and through the sorrows of the holy Virgin Mary, the graces which You desire that I should receive this day for Your greater glory and my salvation.

O Heart of Love, I place all my trust in You; for though I fear all things from my own weakness, I hope all things from Your goodness.

O purest heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary, obtain for me from Jesus a pure and humble heart. Amen.

prayer for forgiveness

51 Be merciful to me, O God,
   because of your constant love.
Because of your great mercy
   wipe away my sins!
2 Wash away all my evil
   and make me clean from my sin!
3 I recognize my faults;
   I am always conscious of my sins.
4 I have sinned against you—only against you—
   and done what you consider evil.
So you are right in judging me;
   you are justified in condemning me.
5 I have been evil from the day I was born;
   from the time I was conceived, I have been sinful.
6 Sincerity and truth are what you require;
   fill my mind with your wisdom.
7 Remove my sin, and I will be clean;
   wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear the sounds of joy and gladness;
   and though you have crushed me and broken me,
   I will be happy once again.
9 Close your eyes to my sins
   and wipe out all my evil.
10 Create a pure heart in me, O God,
   and put a new and loyal spirit in me.
11 Do not banish me from your presence;
   do not take your holy spirit away from me.
12 Give me again the joy that comes from your salvation,
   and make me willing to obey you.
13 Then I will teach sinners your commands,
   and they will turn back to you.
14 Spare my life, O God, and save me,
   and I will gladly proclaim your righteousness.
15 Help me to speak, GOD ,
   and I will praise you.
16 You do not want sacrifices,
   or I would offer them;
you are not pleased with burnt offerings.
17 My sacrifice is a humble spirit, O God;
   you will not reject a humble and repentant heart.
18 O God, be kind to Zion and help her;
   rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then you will be pleased with proper sacrifices
   and with our burnt offerings; In the name of Jesus. Amen

Prayer For All Victims Of Rape, Incest and Spousal Abuse centurionguard's picture Submitted by centurionguard on Mon, 2012-07-23 11:04 Prayer Room Dear God of endless love, ever caring, ever strong, always present, always just: You gave your only Son to save us by the Blood of His Cross. Gentle Jesus, shepherd of peace, Join our anguishing souls to your own suffering the pain of all who have been hurt in Body, Mind, and Spirit by those who betrayed the trust placed in them. Hear our cries as we agonize over the harm done to our brothers and sisters. Breathe wisdom into our prayers, soothe restless hearts with hope, steady shaken spirits with faith: Show us the way to justice and wholeness, enlightened by truth and enfolded in your mercy. Holy Spirit, comforter of hearts, heal your people’s wounds and transform our brokenness. Grant us courage and wisdom, humility and grace, so that we may act with justice and find peace in you. We ask this Healing through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

A Prayer to End Gun Violence Merciful Lord, we come to you heavy hearted, for we have heard the cries of the slain calling to us from the ground. We come remembering all the lives lost to the weapons of war that have flooded our communities. We come reminded of the many bodies locked in jails and prisons all across this country. And we ask for your mercy. Although we find ourselves in a broken world – a world in which hurting people hurt other people, it is no mystery that you are a God capable of healing our world through justice and fairness. Your own revelation has shown us that you stand firmly with those people whose backs are against the wall. Your own life demonstrates how you came from heaven to earth to redeem creation, our communities and our own lives. So we ask for this same redemptive power to be unleashed among us as it was on the day of Pentecost. May we be empowered by your Spirit to reverse the conditions that produce young men and women who are driven to resort to violence and destructive behavior in their fight to stay alive and struggle to remain free. We know that you have no pleasure in the death of anyone, so we boldly come to the throne of grace today dear Lord, seeking your wisdom as we create strategies that provide pathways and lifelines to hope and healing. Help us to remember we are all your children, created in your image, and we are connected by a single garment of mutuality and destiny. Cause us to never forget how our needs are the same and our calling to address these needs are the same. Reveal to us Lord, that the pain felt in Newtown is the same pain felt in Chicago. The tears shed in Oak Creek are the same tears shed in Oakland. The lives lost in Tucson are the same lives lost in Camden. The children being buried in Aurora are the same children being buried in Detroit. We cry out to you, heal our souls from this scourge of violence. Endow us with the courage to step down from the pulpits and out from behind our desks to seek the peace of the city. In the coming days and weeks as our leaders debate solutions, Lord we ask that you grant us the voice to speak truth power and demonstrate sacrificial compassion to the hurting. Teach us your ways, O God. Bless us with the wisdom and strength to put down our swords and be peacemakers. Use us, work through us and, if necessary, work in spite of us to mend our nation’s brokenness. We thank you for your protecting embrace and unfailing love. All of these requests we bring to you, in the name of Jesus the Christ we pray. Amen.

[color=#3366cc]Prayers For Forgiveness and Repentance

Forgiveness and repentance go hand-in-hand in a Christian’s life.  We must learn to always forgive others and to ask for forgiveness ourselves.  Without repentance, we are liable of judgment from God.  If we withhold forgiveness to others, forgiveness will also be withheld from us.  Here are 7 prayers focusing on forgiveness and repentance.  May we all strive to live as holy as possible by allowing the Spirit to convict us of our sins and to forgive others that sin against us.

prayers obsessive thoughts

Jesus Explained That Eternal Life Is Gained Through The Spirit - Not Through The Flesh. Jesus' Flesh And Blood Are Of Divine Nature (Spirit) And Not Of This World (Flesh) "It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life." John 6:64-68 It's NOT Just Bread And Wine - It's NOT Just Crackers And Grape Juice. Jesus Gave Us The Eucharist To Nourish Us Until He Returns. Come Home To HIS Church And Accept HIS Holy Flesh And Blood. "Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me." Luke 10:16 Do Not Reject Jesus. Learn the truth. our objective is to spread the truth of the Christian Faith . Many of our brothers and sisters are misinformed or have no knowledge about our Christian Faith. Join the evangelization effort .

1. A Child's Bedtime Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray to God my soul to take.
If I should live for other days,
I pray the Lord to guide my ways.

Father, unto thee I pray,
Thou hast guarded me all day;
Safe I am while in thy sight,
Safely let me sleep tonight.
Bless my friends, the whole world bless;
Help me to learn helpfulness;
Keep me every in thy sight;
So to all I say good night.

2. Now the Light has Gone Away

Now the light has gone away;
Savior, listen while I pray.
Asking Thee to watch and keep
And to send me quiet sleep.

Jesus, Savior, wash away
All that has been wrong to-day;
Help me every day to be
Good and gentle, more like Thee.

Let my near and dear ones be
Always near and dear to Thee.
O bring me and all I love
To Thy happy home above.

3. Jesus, Tender Shepherd

Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me:
Bless Thy little child to-night;
Through the darkness be Thou near me,
Keep me safe till morning light.

All this day Thy hand has led me,
And I thank Thee for Thy care;
Thou hast warmed me, clothed me, fed me;
Listen to my evening prayer.

May my sins be all forgiven;
Bless the friends I love so well;
Take me, Lord, at last to heaven.
Happy there with Thee to dwell.

4. Lord, I have Passed Another Day

Lord, I have passed another day
And come to thank Thee for Thy care.
Forgive my faults in work or play
And listen to my evening prayer.
Thy favor gives me daily bread
And friends, who all my wants supply:
And safely now I rest my head,
Preserved and guarded by Thine eye.

5. The Day is Done

The day is done;
O God the Son,
Look down upon
Thy little one!

O Light of Light,
Keep me this night,
And shed round me
Thy presence bright.

I need not fear
If Thou art near;
Thou art my Savior
Kind and dear.

An obsession is a thought that you can’t get out of your mind.  For example, you think the germs that are all around us will make you gravely ill if you don’t wash thoroughly.  The exaggeration, fear, and this inability to get rid of that thought are what make it an obsession. A compulsion is a behavior that is done to stop the obsession.

Some Facts:

When religion and spirituality are central in a person’s life, obsessive-compulsive symptoms tend to be noticed there.  The term, scruples is often used to describe obsessive-compulsive disorder manifested in religious ways.  Repeatedly saying the same prayer over and over again because of a fear that praying differently might be wrong (or break rules) is a scruple.  For Catholics, going to confession every time a simple mistake is made because of a fear of hell, is a scruple.

Many Saints struggled with obsessive-compulsive disorder.  They all had ways of dealing with it.  Some were completely healed of it.  Others however struggled on and off their entire lives.  Today there are very good treatments, both behavioral and medical.  So if you have scruples (obsessive-compulsive disorder) seek help.

This past week, someone sent a comment for posting on an earlier blog entry here. helpful to some Catholics battling with scruples.

delivrance prayer

To Be Content Alone

Father, I'm praying for (name one or more) and others in my circle of family and friends who are single... For these who are not married and may find it troubling, I ask You to help them learn to be content with being single, as well as with any other issues or circumstances of life they find themselves in. (Philippians 4:11b) Help them delight in You, for You have said when we do, You'll give us the desires of our heart. May their desires match Your desires, Your will and plan for their lives; then fulfill Your purpose for them. (Psalm 37:4; 57:2; 138: If Your plan is for them to be married, give them the grace to wait on You, to be strong and take heart. As they wait, help them to keep Your ways, discerning what is best, keeping pure and blameless in Your sight. (Psalm 27:14; 37:34; Philippians 1:10) I ask Your special touch on those who are single parents, because managing a home without a spouse can be difficult. May they put their hope in You, continuing night and day in prayer. May others in the body of Christ respond to their needs as they would want to be helped if they were alone. (1 Timothy 5:5; Matthew 7:12) May they be fulfilled in Christ. In Jesus' name, amen.

Christian Prayer For Forgiveness
 
Dear GOD,
You alone are my GOD !
You alone are our Savior!
You alone,
we worship and serve!
we come to You today,
asking for forgiveness.
We have sinned again,
and we are full of guilt.
Some sins we have committed by mistake,
others we have willfully chosen.
For those especially,
We beg Your forgiveness!
God,
please search our hearts,
and see how much we long to be a good Christian,
who does what is right!
Please take into account how hard it is to live here in these last days of tribulation!
Please take these sins we bring to You,
and every sin we have ever committed,
and let them be upon You on the cross of salvation.
Please oh God ,
deliver us from punishment.
Once again we all ask,
be the punishment for me,
on that cross,
2,000+ years ago.
Without this,
we would have nothing but hell to pay,
but through Your Son Jesus,
Son o God,
we are forgiven!
We choose to believe the truth,
that You understand it all.
In according to Your word,
we confess my sins to You,
and ask that they be forgiven all of us humans.
In Jesus Christ's name.Amen!
James 5:15.

In ancient Jewish society, it was the duty of the servant to wash the master’s feet. In today’s reading, Jesus takes on the role of servant and washes his disciples’ feet. The reading concludes with Jesus alluding to his betrayal and identifying himself with the Divine Name (“I Am”).

Jesus Washes His Disciples' Feet
1It was now the day before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. He had always loved those in the world who were his own, and he loved them to the very end.
2Jesus and his disciples were at supper. The Devil had already put into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, the thought of betraying Jesus. 3Jesus knew that the Father had given him complete power; he knew that he had come from God and was going to God.4So he rose from the table, took off his outer garment, and tied a towel around his waist.5Then he poured some water into a washbasin and began to wash the disciples' feet and dry them with the towel around his waist.6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Are you going to wash my feet, Lord?”
7Jesus answered him, “You do not understand now what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
8Peter declared, “Never at any time will you wash my feet!”
“If I do not wash your feet,” Jesus answered, “you will no longer be my disciple.”
9Simon Peter answered, “Lord, do not wash only my feet, then! Wash my hands and head, too!”
10Jesus said, “Those who have taken a bath are completely clean and do not have to wash themselves, except for their feet. All of you are clean—all except one.” (11Jesus already knew who was going to betray him; that is why he said, “All of you, except one, are clean.”)
12 After Jesus had washed their feet, he put his outer garment back on and returned to his place at the table. “Do you understand what I have just done to you?” he asked.13“You call me Teacher and Lord, and it is right that you do so, because that is what I am.14I, your Lord and Teacher, have just washed your feet. You, then, should wash one another's feet.15I have set an example for you, so that you will do just what I have done for you.16 I am telling you the truth: no slaves are greater than their master, and no messengers are greater than the one who sent them.17Now that you know this truth, how happy you will be if you put it into practice!
18 “I am not talking about all of you; I know those I have chosen. But the scripture must come true that says, ‘The man who shared my food turned against me.’19I tell you this now before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe that ‘I Am Who I Am.’20 I am telling you the truth: whoever receives anyone I send receives me also; and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.”
________________________________________
Reflect
Why did Jesus choose foot washing as a way to teach his disciples about what it means to serve one another? Whose “feet” will you wash today?
________________________________________
Pray
YAHWEH, by Your example YOU have taught us what it means to serve one another. Give us a humble heart and open our eyes this day to those in need of love and care. In Your Son’s holy name, we pray. Amen.

The crowd who had been looking for Jesus finds him. Jesus explains the difference between the manna that their ancestors ate in the desert and the “real bread from heaven.” Some who hear Jesus’ words find his teaching too hard and turn away.

Jesus the Bread of Life
25When the people found Jesus on the other side of the lake, they said to him, “Teacher, when did you get here?”
26Jesus answered, “I am telling you the truth: you are looking for me because you ate the bread and had all you wanted, not because you understood my miracles.27 Do not work for food that spoils; instead, work for the food that lasts for eternal life. This is the food which the Son of Man will give you, because God, the Father, has put his mark of approval on him.”
28So they asked him, “What can we do in order to do what God wants us to do?”
29Jesus answered, “What God wants you to do is to believe in the one he sent.”
30They replied, “What miracle will you perform so that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?31 Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, just as the scripture says, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
32“I am telling you the truth,” Jesus said. “What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the real bread from heaven.33For the bread that God gives is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34“Sir,” they asked him, “give us this bread always.”
35“I am the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “Those who come to me will never be hungry; those who believe in me will never be thirsty.36Now, I told you that you have seen me but will not believe.37Everyone whom my Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me,38because I have come down from heaven to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me.39And it is the will of him who sent me that I should not lose any of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them all to life on the last day.40For what my Father wants is that all who see the Son and believe in him should have eternal life. And I will raise them to life on the last day.”
41The people started grumbling about him, because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”42So they said, “This man is Jesus son of Joseph, isn't he? We know his father and mother. How, then, does he now say he came down from heaven?”
43Jesus answered, “Stop grumbling among yourselves.44People cannot come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me; and I will raise them to life on the last day.45 The prophets wrote, ‘Everyone will be taught by God.’ Anyone who hears the Father and learns from him comes to me.46This does not mean that anyone has seen the Father; he who is from God is the only one who has seen the Father.47I am telling you the truth: he who believes has eternal life.48I am the bread of life.49Your ancestors ate manna in the desert, but they died.50But the bread that comes down from heaven is of such a kind that whoever eats it will not die.51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If you eat this bread, you will live forever. The bread that I will give you is my flesh, which I give so that the world may live.”
52This started an angry argument among them. “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” they asked.
53Jesus said to them, “I am telling you the truth: if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in yourselves.54Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them to life on the last day.55For my flesh is the real food; my blood is the real drink.56Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood live in me, and I live in them.57The living Father sent me, and because of him I live also. In the same way whoever eats me will live because of me.58This, then, is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread that your ancestors ate, but then later died. Those who eat this bread will live forever.”
59Jesus said this as he taught in the synagogue in Capernaum.
The Words of Eternal Life
60Many of his followers heard this and said, “This teaching is too hard. Who can listen to it?”
61Without being told, Jesus knew that they were grumbling about this, so he said to them, “Does this make you want to give up?62Suppose, then, that you should see the Son of Man go back up to the place where he was before?63 What gives life is God's Spirit; human power is of no use at all. The words I have spoken to you bring God's life-giving Spirit.64Yet some of you do not believe.” (Jesus knew from the very beginning who were the ones that would not believe and which one would betray him.)65And he added, “This is the very reason I told you that no people can come to me unless the Father makes it possible for them to do so.”
66Because of this, many of Jesus' followers turned back and would not go with him any more.67So he asked the twelve disciples, “And you—would you also like to leave?”
68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life.69And now we believe and know that you are the Holy One who has come from God.”
70Jesus replied, “I chose the twelve of you, didn't I? Yet one of you is a devil!”71He was talking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For Judas, even though he was one of the twelve disciples, was going to betray him.

Reflect
After Jesus tells the crowd that God wants them “to believe in the one he sent” (verse 29), the people demand a miracle. Why? Reread verses 32-40. How does Jesus contrast himself as the “bread of life” with the manna that was given to the people’s ancestors in the desert? What does Jesus as the “bread of life” mean to you? Why did some of the followers turn away (verse 60)? What did Simon Peter say (verse 68)?

Pray
Lord Jesus, you are the true bread of life. I hunger for your word each day. You have the words that give eternal life. Amen.

Those who have abandoned their faith in Jesus
Jesus uses the images of shepherd, gate, and sheep to describe his relationship between himself and his followers. The sheep know the shepherd’s voice and follow him. Unlike a thief who comes only to steal or destroy, and unlike a hired worker who fails to protect the sheep, Jesus as the good shepherd is willing to die for the sheep. Jesus’ words once again cause division among the people.
________________________________________
Today’s Scripture: John 10:11
“I am the good shepherd, who is willing to die for the sheep.”
________________________________________
Today’s Reading
The Parable of the Shepherd
1Jesus said, “I am telling you the truth: the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.2The man who goes in through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.3The gatekeeper opens the gate for him; the sheep hear his voice as he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.4When he has brought them out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.5They will not follow someone else; instead, they will run away from such a person, because they do not know his voice.”
6Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he meant.
Jesus the Good Shepherd
7So Jesus said again, “I am telling you the truth: I am the gate for the sheep.8All others who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.9I am the gate. Those who come in by me will be saved; they will come in and go out and find pasture.10The thief comes only in order to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come in order that you might have life—life in all its fullness.
11 “I am the good shepherd, who is willing to die for the sheep.12When the hired man, who is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees a wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and runs away; so the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.13The hired man runs away because he is only a hired man and does not care about the sheep.14-15 I am the good shepherd. As the Father knows me and I know the Father, in the same way I know my sheep and they know me. And I am willing to die for them.16There are other sheep which belong to me that are not in this sheep pen. I must bring them, too; they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock with one shepherd.
17“The Father loves me because I am willing to give up my life, in order that I may receive it back again.18No one takes my life away from me. I give it up of my own free will. I have the right to give it up, and I have the right to take it back. This is what my Father has commanded me to do.”
19Again there was a division among the people because of these words.20Many of them were saying, “He has a demon! He is crazy! Why do you listen to him?”
21But others were saying, “A man with a demon could not talk like this! How could a demon give sight to blind people?”
________________________________________
Reflect
Jesus says “I am the gate” (verses 7, 9) and “I am the good shepherd” (verses 11, 14). These statements are among those that are referred to as the “I am” passages in John’s Gospel (see also 6:35, 8:12, 11:25, 14:6, 15:5). In Exodus 3:13-15, God’s name (I AM) is revealed to Moses. In John’s Gospel, Jesus’ use of the term “I am” connects him to God. In today’s reading, what do the images of “gate” and “shepherd” convey to you about Jesus?

Pray
GOD, Your Son is the Good Shepherd, and He was willing to die for our sake. Lead all Your beings each day with Your gentle and loving voice. In Yeshua’s name . Amen.

Thanksgiving Prayers


FOR APPRECIATION OF EACH OTHER
We thank you, Father, for the gift of Jesus your Son who came to our earth and lived in a simple home. We have a greater appreciation of the value and dignity of the human family because he loved and was loved within its shelter. Bless us this day; may we grow in love for each other in our family and so give thanks to you who are the maker of all human families and our abiding peace.

From The Catholic Prayer Book, compiled by Msgr. Michael Buckley

Thank you for being with us in all our joys and sorrows, for your comfort in our sadness, your companionship in our loneliness. Thank you for yesterday, today, tomorrow and for the whole of our lives. Thank you for friends, for health and for grace. May we live this and every day conscious of all that has been given to us.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
 Walter Rauschenbusch
O God, we thank you for this earth, our home;
For the wide sky and the blessed sun,
For the salt sea and the running water,
For the everlasting hills
And the never-resting winds,
For trees and the common grass underfoot.
We thank you for our senses
By which we hear the songs of birds,
And see the splendor of the summer fields,
And taste of the autumn fruits,
And rejoice in the feel of the snow,
And smell the breath of the spring.
Grant us a heart wide open to all this beauty;
And save our souls from being so blind
That we pass unseeing
When even the common thornbush
Is aflame with your glory,
O God our creator,
Who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

From Living God’s Justice: Reflections and Prayers, compiled by The Roundtable Association of Diocesan Social Action Directors


THANKSGIVING PRAYER
This Thanksgiving let those of us who have much and those who have little gather at the welcoming table of the Lord. At this blessed feast, may rich and poor alike remember that we are called to serve on another and to walk together in God's gracious world.

Marianne Cope: Though leprosy scared off most people in 19th-century Hawaii, that disease sparked great generosity in the woman who came to be known as Mother Marianne of Molokai. Her courage helped tremendously to improve the lives of its victims in Hawaii, a territory annexed to the United States during her lifetime (1898).
<p>Mother Marianne’s generosity and courage were celebrated at her May 14, 2005, beatification in Rome. She was a woman who spoke “the language of truth and love” to the world, said Cardinal José Saraiva Martins, prefect of the Congregation for Saints’ Causes. Cardinal Martins, who presided at the beatification Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, called her life “a wonderful work of divine grace.” Speaking of her special love for persons suffering from leprosy, he said, “She saw in them the suffering face of Jesus. Like the Good Samaritan, she became their mother.” </p><p>On January 23, 1838, a daughter was born to Peter and Barbara Cope of Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany. The girl was named after her mother. Two years later the Cope family emigrated to the United States and settled in Utica, New York. Young Barbara worked in a factory until August 1862, when she went to the Sisters of the Third Order of Saint Francis in Syracuse, New York. After profession in November of the next year, she began teaching at Assumption parish school. </p><p>Marianne held the post of superior in several places and was twice the novice mistress of her congregation. A natural leader, three different times she was superior of St. Joseph’s Hospital in Syracuse, where she learned much that would be useful during her years in Hawaii. </p><p>Elected provincial in 1877, Mother Marianne was unanimously re-elected in 1881. Two years later the Hawaiian government was searching for someone to run the Kakaako Receiving Station for people suspected of having leprosy. More than 50 religious communities in the United States and Canada were asked. When the request was put to the Syracuse sisters, 35 of them volunteered immediately. On October 22, 1883, Mother Marianne and six other sisters left for Hawaii where they took charge of the Kakaako Receiving Station outside Honolulu; on the island of Maui they also opened a hospital and a school for girls. </p><p>In 1888, Mother Marianne and two sisters went to Molokai to open a home for “unprotected women and girls” there. The Hawaiian government was quite hesitant to send women for this difficult assignment; they need not have worried about Mother Marianne! On Molokai she took charge of the home that St. Damien de Veuster [May 10, d. 1889] had established for men and boys. Mother Marianne changed life on Molokai by introducing cleanliness, pride and fun to the colony. Bright scarves and pretty dresses for the women were part of her approach. </p><p>Awarded the Royal Order of Kapiolani by the Hawaiian government and celebrated in a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson, Mother Marianne continued her work faithfully. Her sisters have attracted vocations among the Hawaiian people and still work on Molokai. </p><p>Mother Marianne died on August 9, 1918 and was beatified in 2005 and canonized seven years later.</p> American Catholic Blog Lord, my ultimate desire is to know you and serve you in this world so as to spend eternity with you in the next. Sometimes my own beliefs, opinions, and desires get in the way of knowing your will. Please send your Holy Spirit to conform my will to yours.

Psalm 71 Contemporary English Version A Prayer for God’s Protection

I run to you, Lord, for protection. Don’t disappoint me. 2 You do what is right, so come to my rescue. Listen to my prayer and keep me safe. 3 Be my mighty rock,[a] the place where I can always run for protection. Save me by your command! You are my mighty rock and my fortress. 4 Come and save me, Lord God, from vicious and cruel and brutal enemies! 5 I depend on you, and I have trusted you since I was young. 6 I have relied on you[b] from the day I was born. You brought me safely through birth, and I always praise you. 7 Many people think of me as something evil. But you are my mighty protector, 8 and I praise and honor you all day long. 9 Don’t throw me aside when I am old; don’t desert me when my strength is gone. 10 My enemies are plotting because they want me dead. 11 They say, “Now we’ll catch you! God has deserted you, and no one can save you.” 12 Come closer, God! Please hurry and help. 13 Embarrass and destroy all who want me dead; disgrace and confuse all who want to hurt me. 14 I will never give up hope or stop praising you. 15 All day long I will tell the wonderful things you do to save your people. But you have done much more than I could possibly know. 16 I will praise you, Lord God, for your mighty deeds and your power to save. 17 You have taught me since I was a child, and I never stop telling about your marvelous deeds. 18 Don’t leave me when I am old and my hair turns gray. Let me tell future generations about your mighty power. 19 Your deeds of kindness are known in the heavens. No one is like you! 20 You made me suffer a lot, but you will bring me back from this deep pit and give me new life. 21 You will make me truly great and take my sorrow away. 22 I will praise you, God, the Holy One of Israel. You are faithful. I will play the harp and sing your praises. 23 You have rescued me! I will celebrate and shout, singing praises to you with all my heart. 24 All day long I will announce your power to save. I will tell how you disgraced and disappointed those who wanted to hurt me.

10 Short Prayers For Protection by PAMELA ROSE WILLIAMS · Print Print · Email Email God is the great Protector. His name in Hebrew to describe this is Jehovah-Nissi. He is the One who defends, delivers, covers, preserves, shelters and watches over us. Sometimes we need to call upon Him in our prayers for protection. Here are ten short prayers for protection that you might want to consider. Jacob’s Prayer for Protection from Esau (Genesis 32:9-12) Prayers for Protection "... Please deliver me from the hand of my brother" And Jacob said, “O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O Lord who said to me, ‘Return to your country and to your kindred, that I may do you good,’ I am not worthy of the least of all the deeds of steadfast love and all the faithfulness that you have shown to your servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps. Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him, that he may come and attack me, the mothers with the children. But you said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.'” Jehoshaphat Fasted and Prayed for Protection from the Moabites and Ammonites and the Meunites (2 Chronicles 20:6-12) “O Lord, God of our fathers, are you not God in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. In your hand are power and might, so that none is able to withstand you. Did you not, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend? And they have lived in it and have built for you in it a sanctuary for your name, saying, ‘If disaster comes upon us, the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand before this house and before you— for your name is in this house—and cry out to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save.’ And now behold, the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade when they came from the land of Egypt, and whom they avoided and did not destroy— behold, they reward us by coming to drive us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit. O our God, will you not execute judgment on them? For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” Ezra Fasted and Prayed for Protection from the Enemy (Ezra 8:21-23) Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a safe journey for ourselves, our children, and all our goods. For I was ashamed to ask the king for a band of soldiers and horsemen to protect us against the enemy on our way, since we had told the king, “The hand of our God is for good on all who seek him, and the power of his wrath is against all who forsake him.” So we fasted and implored our God for this, and he listened to our entreaty. David’s Prayer for Protection from his son Absalom (Psalms 3) O Lord, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; many are saying of my soul, there is no salvation for him in God. Selah But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. I cried aloud to the Lord, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the Lord sustained me. I will not be afraid of many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around. Arise, O Lord! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked. Salvation belongs to the Lord; your blessing be on your people! Selah Stephen’s Prayer for the Protection (mercy) of His Murderers (Acts 7:60) And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep. Paul’s Prayer Thanking God for Deliverance from Evil at Colossae (Colossians 1:9-14) And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. “The Lorica” [1] I bind to myself today – God’s Power to guide me, God’s Might to uphold me, God’s Wisdom to teach me, God’s Eye to watch over me God’s Ear to hear me, God’s Word to give me speech, God’s Hand to guide me, God’s Way to lie before me, God’s Shield to shelter me, God’s Host to secure me, Against the snares of demons, against the seductions of vices, against the lusts of nature, Against everyone who meditates injury to me, whether far or near, whether few or with many. Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ at my right, Christ at my left, Christ in the fort, Christ in the chariot seat, Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks to me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me. Personalized Well-known Passages As Prayers for Protection Based upon Psalms 91:9-16 Holy God, I have made You my dwelling place, the Most High, who is my refuge and I trust that because of this no evil shall be allowed to befall me, no plague come near my home. For he will command his angels concerning me to guard me in all my ways. On their hands they will bear me up lest I strike my foot against a stone. I will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent I will trample underfoot. I rest upon your promise: “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” Amen Based upon Psalms 140:1-5 Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men; preserve me from violent men, who plan evil things in their heart and stir up wars continually. They make their tongue sharp as a serpent’s, and under their lips is the venom of asps. Selah Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet. The arrogant have hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread a net; beside the way they have set snares for me. Selah Based upon Ephesians 6:13-17 Dear Lord, as I put on the full armour of God, I know that when the day of evil comes, I will be able to stand my ground, and after I have done everything, I will stand. I will stand firm, with the belt of truth buckled around my waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with my feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, I will take up the shield of faith, with which I can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. I take on the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Read more: http://www.whatchristianswanttoknow.com/10-short-prayers-for-protection/#ixzz3bdlpTz8Y

A Powerful Prayer for God’s Protection With Commentary May 1, 2014 by Jack Wellman 0 Comments What are some of the most powerful prayers in the Bible? They are the Psalms. Here is one from Psalm 91 that is one of the most desperate cries for protection that we can pray back to God. Psalm 91 A Prayer for Protection This psalm appears to be a prayer for protection for God’s people against the terrors and the ever-present dangers that surround God’s people daily but could also apply to missionaries who are overseas and fighting against spiritual attacks from the enemies, it could be a prayer that our modern day military veteran could utter in context with the language descriptive of present day settings, it could be about a person or army that is set against insurmountable odds who is about to enter battle, or it might be someone who is undergoing several trials in their life and having spiritual and human forces pressuring them to give up in doubt and fear or maybe even someone who is battling cancer or go into surgery. Some of the terrors are ambiguous leaving room for every Christian to apply it in their everyday struggles against their three enemies; the flesh, the world, and the Enemy. The conclusion is that nothing can thwart the child or children of God collectively, even when their eyes lie to them and the situation seems exceedingly hopeless because in the improbable our God does the impossible. 1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” The shelter of God is to be under His shadow, like Israel was in the desert wilderness of the cloud of God’s glory protecting or sheltering them from the scorching sun that would normally kill any human but He is our refuge (to run to) and our fortress (against all spiritual and human attacks) and in God we do trust because “He who dwells” with the Most High is in the most secure of all places on earth. 3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. The Psalmist says here that He will “deliver” from the “snare” of the fowler or trapper. The fowler is an old English word for someone who hunts for game and setting a snare is really a trap for animals. The history of Christianity is full of people who set traps to imprison or kill them as part of the widespread persecution that has occurred for the last 2,000 years. Who is the “he” who “will deliver?” It is God Himself and He will deliver us from the traps and persecution hunters but also from pestilence, which is disease. He isn’t promising to deliver us from all persecution but He’ll cover us “with His pinions.” The pinions of an eagle, which is often the way God describes Himself, is the terminal, or end sections of the eagle’s wings but includes the full wing; the carpus, metacarpus, and the phalanges. That places the believer “under His wings” where there is refuge. God’s faithfulness is as a shield (a lifesaver in battles of the mind, flesh, and the Enemy). The “buckler” is a smaller shield that fits around an arm that is the one used for fighting, showing that while He protects us, He also fights for us. 5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. During the nighttime is the time I must honestly admit that I have the greatest doubts…whether they be in the middle of the night or in my dreams or in a dark night of the soul. No arrow that is aimed at me, like the fiery darts of the enemy (Eph 6:16) nor any disease or pestilence that comes in the darkness and not even that which comes at noon can, in the end, sleigh me. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8 You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. Here is descriptive language for the armies of Israel or the U.S. Military and they have no problem identifying with this language because thousands have fallen and tens of thousands on both their right side and their left, but the child of God is not kept from God even by death (Rom 8:36-39). 9 Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place— the Most High, who is my refuge— 10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent. We have no fear of death for in even in death we’ll be present with the Lord (2 Cor 5: but those who do not have the Most High must fear both the death of the body and soul (Luke 12:5). In contrast, making the Lord our dwelling place ensures no plagues like consumed Egypt. 11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. 12 On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. Those who are God’s children have the privilege of having God’s angels given charge or orders to protect them (Luke 4:10) and will minster to those who are His saints (Heb 1:14) and if by God’s design, can save us from a deathly fall or injury. 13 You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot. 14 “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. The number of miracles throughout Christianity’s history is remarkable in the numbers of incidents and the impossible escapes from death. I believe when we get to the Kingdom of Heaven we will be shocked at the number of times that we have escaped death or serious injury without ever knowing about it in this life. In verse 14, God is now the One Who is speaking to the psalmist and to us by extension as He says “because he (or she) holds fast to me (God) in love, I, God, will deliver him or her, and it is I, God, who will protect him or her. Why? Because he or she knows my name and remember that Jesus said that My sheep know my voice and listen to my voice (John 10:14, 27). Now, put your name in verse 14 as “Because [Sarah or Matthew] holds fast to me in love, I will deliver [Sarah or Matthew]; I will protect [Sarah or Matthew] because he/she knows my name.” Try putting a personal touch on all Scripture where it says he or she, you or they and put your own name in it. It makes Scripture come alive! 15 When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” The conclusion is that whenever the children of God are in desperate situations, they can call on Him and know that He “will answer” them. In their times of great trouble there will be a Great Rescuer, the Redeemer. God Himself not only rescues them but will honor them with “long life” (how about eternal life!) and then God will satisfy them and then show them His salvation. We who have been born again have seen Who His salvation is and that is Jesus Christ Himself. The next time you feel you are in an impossible situation, turn to Psalm 91 and cry out to God, He will hear and answer you, and pray this back to God.

trusting God

YAHWEH, I trust in YOU. I know that YOU will never fail me. Help me in my time of need. YAHWEH, watch over me and protect me. Do not let me fall.

offering of the examination of Concience Before Reconciliation GOD , my God and Saviour, we offer You the examination which we will make, that Your divine justice may be glorified in it. We look to You with confidence for the grace to do it well. In the spirit of charity, to please You, and to accomplish Your holy will, together with every intention that can procure You the greatest honor and glory, we undertake this examination. Prayer After Reconciliation I give you thanks, O Lord Jesus, because you have cleansed me from my sins. I adore and praise your infinite mercy. I consecrate myself entirely to your love and service. Give me, good God, the grace to avoid sin and the occasion of sin. Mary, my Mother, bless my good resolution, and may my Guardian Angel help me to keep it. Amen. Act of Contrition O, my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you. I detest all my sins because of your just punishment, but most of all because they offend you, my God, who are all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Psalms:79:12: And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. Prayer Against Witchcraft , very powerful prayer against Witchcraft. with fasting even more powerful. This prayer can shut down Witches and Satanists forever. Being that this prayer basically shuts down the senders of the hexes and vexes by returning their evil to them (broken)... I turned this prayer into a blessing that they would need to turn to Jesus for there own curse to be removed.. This would be saving them from HELL and being saved from HELL is a blessing. Father, In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I plead the precious uncorruptable blood of Jesus over myself and all the human creatures & and everything that belongs to them & me. I LOOSE giant warrior Angels to be loosed from Heaven to surround and protect everyone & me. As your war club and weapons of war I break down demolish, undamn, and blow up all walls of protection around all witches, warlocks, wizards, satanists, and the like, and I break the power of all curses, hexes, vexes, spells, charms, fetishes, physic prayers, physic thought, all witchcraft, sorcery, magic, voodoo, all mind control, jinxes, potions, bewitchments, death, destruction, sickness, pain, torment, physic power, physic warfare, prayer chains, and everything else being sent any of Your ceatures way or my way, and I return it and the demons to the senders right now, and I BIND it to them by the blood of Jesus! Father, I pray that these lost souls will find the light of Your son Jesus. Their own snares and traps have been set against themselves. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I now loose them from all mindcontrol of Satan! Father I ask that You BIND the Holy Spirit to their hearts as a guide to Your son Jesus. So they may be set free from the bondages of Satan. In Jesus name I pray. Amen M't:16:19: I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. all spiritual warfare is the Lord's work, and not of your own. Basically, the Lord, through your discerning and incisive Holy Spirit-led prayers, is binding them from being able to harm others. As Jesus commanded, you pray for blessings upon your enemies--that they would be set free by the blood of Jesus, that Satan's hold on them would be loosed forever. If they fail at cursing you--they fail in their own circle... and this brings them to conviction by the Holy Spirit. For one thing, Satan cannot use a person who is not adept at throwing demons and curses! He is the answerer or prayer--you do not do anything. that's how the satanists work--THEY DO IT. We do not do a thing--it is the precious blood of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Lord our God who does all for us. most are afflicted by this.seems I get call after call of people betrayed by those close to them. Those who think they can just sit back and not get involved in spiritual warfare against the dark side are fooling themselves. The Lord wants our house to be a house of prayer--not of complacency. We have to pray daily against the onslaught of Satan and his followers, since they are pretty much the majority of people outside the covenant of Jesus Christ. http://blessinghouseministries.org/thecross/satanists.html seeking guidance I love You God and trust You to save all our human and animals sisters and brothers of the world. There is nobody else like You. We put our faith in You alone. Guide our every step. Be a lamp unto our path. Show us Your Will, Oh GOD. Impart Your ways unto all of us. We want to be faithful to You. Give us a pure heart. Take any impurities that still remain in us. GOD , we want to see Your face and know Your heart. Reveal Yourself unto us. Forgive us for taking our eyes off You. Pick us up when we fall. GOD , help us get back on track. Show us the right thing to do. In the name of Christ Jesus. Amen.

Thanksgiving Blessing

O God,
We thank you for this earth, our home; for the wide sky and the blessed sun, for the ocean and streams, for the towering hills and the whispering wind, for the trees and green grass.

We thank you for our senses by which we hear the songs of birds, and see the splendor of fields of golden wheat, and taste autumn's fruit, rejoice in the feel of snow, and smell the breath of spring flowers.

Grant us a heart opened wide to all this beauty; and save us from being so blind that we pass unseeing when even the common thornbush is aflame with your glory.

For each new dawn is filled with infinite possibilities for new beginnings and new discoveries. Life is constantly changing and renewing itself. In this new day of new beginnings with God, all things are possible. We are restored and renewed in a joyous awakening to the wonder that our lives are and, yet, can be.

Amen.

(Walter Rauschenbusch)

Traditional Catholic Prayer




(These online prayers of thanksgiving are suitable for Christians of all denominations such as Methodist, Baptist, Anglican and Catholics)


Come, Ye Thankful People, Come

Here is a great thanksgiving hymn!

Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home; all is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin. God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied; come to God's own temple, come, raise the song of harvest home.

All the world is God's own field, fruit as praise to God we yield; wheat and tares together sown are to joy or sorrow grown; first the blade and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear; Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be.

For the Lord our God shall come, and shall take the harvest home; from the field shall in that day all offenses purge away, giving angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast; but the fruitful ears to store in the garner evermore.

Even so, Lord, quickly come, bring thy final harvest home; gather thou thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin, there, forever purified, in thy presence to abide; come, with all thine angels, come, raise the glorious harvest home.

Lyrics by Henry Alford (1810-1871)
Music by George J. Elvey (1816-1893)

Contemporary hymn version of
"Come, Ye Thankful People, Come"

Prayer of Thanks to God
This is part of a  prayer when the Covenant Box had been brought into Jerusalem and placed in the tent prepared by David:-
"Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good;
his love is eternal".
(1 Chronicles 16:34, GNT)


Psalm 100

Make a glad sound to the Lord, all the earth. Give worship to the Lord with joy; come before him with a song. Be certain that the Lord is God; it is he who has made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep to whom he gives food. Come into his doors with joy, and into his house with praise; give him honour, blessing his name. For the Lord is good, and his mercy is never-ending; his faith is unchanging through all generations

Psalm Thanksgiving Song

Oh come, let's sing to the LORD. Let's shout aloud to the rock of our salvation! Let's come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let's extol him with songs
(Ps 95:1-2, NHEB)

Bible verses from the New Testament

Jesus gives thanks to God

And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

(Matthew 14:19-21, NIV)

Acts 2 and the early Christians

Notice here how the early disciples share their possessions a live with gladness in their hearts:

All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. (Acts 2:44-47, NIV)

St Paul's exhortation to give thanks

Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, WEB)

FOR GOD A THANKFUL PRAYER

A THANKFUL PRAYER BECAUSE THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING ALWAYS NEXT TO US.

Today is a special day. Today I feel connected to my source. Today I feel that I am a step closer to what I should and will become. No need to ask for favors, for I know everything comes when the timing is perfect. TODAY, LET US THANK GOD TOGETHER!
Thank you God for giving me another day, another chance to become a better individual, another chance to give and experience love. Thank you God for giving me health, for the food you provide, for the awareness you have awaken in me...Thank you for the energy that feeds my soul, the sun that warms our bodies and the air that fills our lungs... Because of you I believe in the good without the bad and the ugly, because of you I am learning to love and accept myself, because of you I believe in believing. My source, stay connected to me today and always, for I need you in order to fullfil my spiritual tasks...God, show me how to love myself, to be able to love others. Help me become the type of person that I would like to befriend, help me forgive myself and forgive others... God, make me a channel of your energy and help me understand. I thank you God for giving me another day, another unused opportunity to do it right. Keep us all close to you and listen to our prayers.Amen.

Sometimes a really short prayer to God can make all the difference to your situation. Maybe you've just woken up and you feel really rubbish.
"God as I open my eyes to the world, please open my eyes to what you want me to do in it today!"
Try this as a short morning prayer and see where it leads you.
• Short prayers can be useful in times of stress or crisis in the day. "Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10, WEB) - this is the other side of the conversation - God speaking to us. Try committing these words to memory and repeating them when you find yourself in the storms of life.
• And at nightfall, you may only have time for a quick evening prayer before bed. Think for a moment about your day and think of one thing you would like to thank God for. For example - "Lord, thank you for my home. I am so grateful, Amen". Filling our minds with thankfulness helps to dispel fear and anxiety, and leads to much sounder sleep!

ANSWER: These prayers of thanks are based on Romans 8, Galatians 5:1, and Philippians 1:6.

Lord I come before You, desiring to provide thanks.
Father, I have so much to be thankful for, things unseen and seen,
that You have done in my life. Lord, mostly I am thankful for the relationship that I have with You. Lord, You initiated this relationship, by what Your Son endeavored to accomplish,
paying the price for my sin, redeeming and reconciling me.

Dear Heavenly Father, You know the times I have been ungrateful, held ill thoughts toward You and my fellow humans. You know the times I complain and grumble about life and its circumstances, about suffering, going through what seem endless trials and tribulations. Even yielding my members to unholy deeds.

Yet God You are and always will be there with me, even when it seems like I am forever in the wilderness, running further and further from You, You, my God are there guiding me back to Your loving arms.

I am thankful Lord for everything that You allow to cross my path. Thankful for the decisions that You allow me to make and the lessons that come from these decisions.

I’m thankful, Lord, that I do not have to live under condemnation anymore, that You have truly set me free, that I am a new creation that I need not live under the law anymore. Thankful Lord that You have given me joy unspeakable. Thankful Lord that You are longsuffering, allowing me to mature in You!

Lord, words do not express my thankfulness. For Your mighty power is at work in me, transforming me, renewing my mind. To You Lord belong thanks eternal.

In Jesus’ name, amen.

These prayers of thanks are based on 1 Corinthians 2, Matthew 5 - 6, Hebrews 12:

Lord, there are marvelous things that I do not know, nor can I comprehend.
Lord, things that happen in my life, and things that happen in my friends lives.
Lord, I desire to be thankful, to appreciate everything that comes across my path.
Lord, so often life hurts, I get angry -- upset, I do not understand, yet Lord You ask me to be thankful for everything, and have faith – thank You.

Lord, help me to be thankful, when the rains come on the just and the unjust, that You care so much about me, that Your to chasten, to build character and godliness in me, to be a mirrored reflection of Your Son to reach others.

Lord, I thank You for mercy, for the hunger for righteousness, for forgiveness, for purity, for providing for my needs.

Lord, I thank You for prayer, That I can come before You and call You Father.
That I can cast my burdens on You.
Lord, I thank You for my heart, the treasure and light You placed in there -- the Holy Spirit.

Lord, help me to endeavor, to be thankful for everything.
Lord, it seems most of the time, what happens is about me.
Lord, I thank you that You gently remind me that the things are not about me, however, my life and what happens is more about You, Your will, and Your Kingdom.

Lord, I thank You, I praise You. Lord, in You do I find strength and courage to go on.
Lord, I thank You for the author and finisher of my faith – Jesus Christ and that in You is hope everlasting.

Lord, I thank You for the blood of Jesus, Your precious lamb.
Thank You Lord God!

In Jesus’ name, amen.

"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." (James 1:5)

Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus,

Your Word declares that I can come to You, the source of wisdom, for wisdom. I do that right now Father, and I ask that You would not only give me wisdom of men, but the wisdom of God. I pray that You would impart into me divine wisdom, that I may be able to rightly divide the Word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15).

I pray dear Lord that You will instruct me and teach me in the way I should go (Psalm 32:. Direct my steps, let my ear be inclined to hear Your voice, and correct me when I have gone astray.

I pray for the gift of discernment; help me to know the difference between Godly and ungodly intentions, spirits, prophecies, actions and gifts. By the power of the Holy Spirit, help me to know who has been sent by You, and who has not.

Lord God, help me to be quick to hear and listen, slow to speak (as to wait for His direction), and slow to anger. (James 1:19) Let the words of my mouth speak Your truth with wisdom, but in simplicity so that all may understand and benefit by them. Thank You Father for Your Word and for Your instruction.

In the mighty name of Jesus I pray and declare these things,

Amen.

"For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice, and preserves the way of His saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path. When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you, To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things, From those who leave the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness;" (Proverbs 2:6-13)

Give Me Strength, Lord

Lord, you are Holy above all others, and all of the strength that I need is in your hands.

I am not asking, Lord, that you take this trial away. Instead, I simply ask that Your will be done in my life. Whatever that means, that is what I want.

But I admit that it's hard, Lord.

Sometimes I feel like I can’t go on. The pain and the fear are too much for me, and I know that I don’t have the strength on my own to get through this.

I know that I can come to you, Jesus, and that you will hear my prayer. I know that it is not your intent to bring me to this point just to leave me in the wilderness alone.

Please, Lord, give me the strength that I need to face today. don't have to worry about tomorrow.

If you just give me the strength that I need today that is all I need.

Keep me from sinning during this trial. Instead, help me to keep my eyes on you. You are the Holy Lord, and all of my hope rests in you.

Thank you for hearing my prayer.

In Jesus' name. Amen.

For Strength and Wisdom

Thank you, Lord, for being there for me and allowing me to cry out to you in my times of need.

It is amazing to me that the Lord of the Universe would take time to listen to me and to care about what I say.

God, there are things happening around me right now that I do not understand. Some of these things make me feel weak, helpless and afraid.

Even in the midst of this, I know that you are the Lord.

I know that the situation is in Your hand, and I trust You.

I beseech you for strength and for wisdom that I would be able to endure this situation and be able to handle it in a way that would bring glory to Your name.

In Jesus name. Amen.

Don't ever be ashamed at feeling weak. Remember what the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 12:10:

“Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”

Thanksgiving Blessing

O God,
We thank you for this earth, our home; for the wide sky and the blessed sun, for the ocean and streams, for the towering hills and the whispering wind, for the trees and green grass.

We thank you for our senses by which we hear the songs of birds, and see the splendor of fields of golden wheat, and taste autumn's fruit, rejoice in the feel of snow, and smell the breath of spring flowers.

Grant us a heart opened wide to all this beauty; and save us from being so blind that we pass unseeing when even the common thornbush is aflame with your glory.

For each new dawn is filled with infinite possibilities for new beginnings and new discoveries. Life is constantly changing and renewing itself. In this new day of new beginnings with God, all things are possible. We are restored and renewed in a joyous awakening to the wonder that our lives are and, yet, can be.

Amen.

(Walter Rauschenbusch)

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come

Here is a great thanksgiving hymn!

Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home; all is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin. God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied; come to God's own temple, come, raise the song of harvest home.

All the world is God's own field, fruit as praise to God we yield; wheat and tares together sown are to joy or sorrow grown; first the blade and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear; Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be.

For the Lord our God shall come, and shall take the harvest home; from the field shall in that day all offenses purge away, giving angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast; but the fruitful ears to store in the garner evermore.

Even so, Lord, quickly come, bring thy final harvest home; gather thou thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin, there, forever purified, in thy presence to abide; come, with all thine angels, come, raise the glorious harvest home.

Lyrics by Henry Alford (1810-1871)
Music by George J. Elvey (1816-1893)

Contemporary hymn version of
"Come, Ye Thankful People, Come"

And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves.

All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

(Acts 2:44-47, NIV)

St Paul's exhortation to give thanks

Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

(1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, WEB)
