Fellowship

Lord,

I pray and ask you

for divinely appointed fellowship and friends

in every season,

as iron sharpens iron,

those who love you,

love your Word and Spirit,

ones running to you,

challenging me to love and pursue you too,

stepping beyond my comfort zone,

stretching my faith,

to trust and know you more.

Please bring into my life

wise counselors and mentors⁠—

spiritually, physically,

mentally, emotionally,

financially, professionally,

socially, relationally;

for without you I’m a fool,

let me live wisely,

step humbly,

serve in your footsteps,

love well,

and praise you all my days.

Amen.

Garden Of My Heart

Lord,

help me to prepare my heart,

tilling and turning baked soil,

removing hard rocks,

weeds, and boulders,

going deep,

so there’s depth for your truth to root.

Let me be faithful in planting and receiving good seed,

to water, nourish, and nurture,

guarding and protecting their life.

Place around me other believers,

growing their own healthy gardens,

wise and skilled in your Spirit and Word,

ready in season and out.

Lord, I ask you to grow,

your Truth in my heart,

increasing and strengthening my faith—

let your desires take deep root,

growing strong,

tall and wide,

and let me filled with your ways,

your purposes, your heart,

full of life from the Source of life.

Help me to do my part,

and trust you to do yours.

I bless you Lord.

Amen.

Teach Me To Rest

Lord,

Help me to slow down,

and find my rest in you.

Please forgive me

for running 100 miles an hour,

trying to sustain myself,

even when everything falls apart

sooner or later in my strength.

Forgive me for not turning to you sooner.

Thank you for your grace

to turn to you,

your counsel that is for my good.

Lord, when I wake up,

I will turn to you,

to seek your protection and grace,

to order my day with your priorities,

to lean on you for strength.

I will meditate upon your Word

throughout my day,

rooting deep

to find living water,

walking alongside you,

taking care of my temple,

moving, nourishing body, mind, and soul,

to serve and love well.

I will bookend my day in you,

keeping short accounts with you,

cleansing my heart,

cultivating a thankful heart,

and entering into night,

seeking sweet sleep

as a blessing from you.

Have your way in my life Lord.

I bless you,

Amen.

He Meets Me

Lord,

I praise you for your call,

your counsel and guidance,

your purposes,

thank you that where you lead me,

you are already there.

You’ll meet me,

even as you’re with me,

and you’ll never leave me

nor forsake me,

so I will lean on you,

acknowledging you in all my ways,

for you make my paths straight.

Bless me to be a blessing,

reveal your love to me,

so I can love well,

and serve and give with a generous heart.

Most of all,

let me just walk right next to you,

every step of the way,

and enjoy your companionship,

delighting you,

rejoicing in your love,

all the days of my life.

I love you Lord.

Amen.

Use Me Lord

Lord,

Keep my lips clean,

my heart pure,

my spirit humble before you,

that I may be an unhindered vessel,

for your holy Spirit, power, and presence,

to pour in and through

to those around me.

Let me be a clay pot,

meek and submitted,

supple in your hands,

blessed to be used by my Potter,

delighting in your joy as my Creator.

I carry a treasure within me,

your Spirit and love

that nothing in heaven and earth can touch or quench.

Would you glorify your Name,

and be pleased to use me,

for you are worthy of all my life.

I lay it down to you Lord.

Amen.

Draw Me

Lord,

hold my heart,

let me crave your love

more anything this world has to offer.

Draw me to you,

with no hesitation, no walls within me,

help me to run to you,

and enter into your depths of kindness and love.

Thank you for opening your heart,

embracing my shame and guilt first,

loving me into your hand,

granting me faith in your way.

I am dark but lovely,

and I’ve neglected my life,

yet you call and revive me,

you show me the path

to find myself

in your presence and with your people.

I praise you Lord for your love,

your forgiveness, restoration, and hope,

and I bless your Name.

Amen.

Remembrance

Abba,

I praise you,

thank you for the Jewish people

through whom you have given the world

our Messiah.

Bless them today

in their coming and going,

let your lovingkindness overtake them,

and make your goodness known,

reveal yourself personally, powerfully to each and every one.

Bring healing from generations of trauma,

comfort, love, healing hands and words

for those who have lost,

and silently bear such grief.

Protect your chosen people,

deliver them from their enemies,

raise up friends, allies, intercessors

that they would never stand alone.

We praise you for their lives,

the gifts andd blessings

they have shared with the world,

reflections of you, our God.

Bless and comfort them today.

Thank you Abba,

Amen.

Beloved’s Healing

Lord,

thank you for your beloved,

who needs your touch today.

Bless this child,

enfold her in the comfort of your healing wings,

your loving embrace,

and breathe upon her your peace.

Fill her with your Spirit and life,

and cast all disease, illness, and pain

far from her,

cursing death and destruction,

with your marvelous light.

Bring alignment and balance to her body,

in accordance to your original design,

strengthen the immune system,

destroy all foreign invaders

and dissolve all things not bringing life.

Cleanse her with your blood,

we plead your Word over her in faith,

that by your stripes she is healed,

entrusting her wholly, fully into your care.

I bless my friend,

and ask you for a miracle.

Heal, deliver, and speak life over her Lord,

we praise you for you are so good,

let the banner of your love be lifted high above her,

and may your victory be established in her life,

far surpassing anything we could ask, think, or imagine…

all for your precious Name’s sake.

Amen.

Everlasting Love

Lord,

with all that I am, I praise you,

please let me never forget your faithfulness,

your goodness towards me.

You forgive all my sins,

you heal all my diseases,

by your stripes, I am healed.

You have redeemed my life from the pit,

and love me with an evelasting love,

granting your tender mercies and kindness.

My life is full,

overflowing with good things, blessings,

you’ve restored the joyful innocence of my youth.

You show yourself to me,

compassionate, gracious,

slow to anger, always kind love.

You know how weak I am,

fragile, fleeting… here today, gone tomorrow.

But your love is an everlasting love,

neverending and forever.

I praise you and thank you for your salvation,

thank you for your love!

May I praise you with all that I am, forever.

Amen.

Merciful Repentance

Lord,

I thank you for the grace to repent,

your merciful spirit that is so sweet.

Forgive me for my unbelief,

clenching my trinkets and baubles,

unwilling to let go

to trust in your provision,

and not seeing your generous hand.

Cleanse my heart with your Word,

and grant me a spirit of obedience

of undivided love and attention for you.

Let your will be the only remaining,

abiding joy and delight of my life.

Don’t let me walk down the path of destruction,

straight to hell

with my self deception, excuses, and rationalizations,

but give me the grace,

again and again,

to draw near to you,

and repent,

trusting in your unfailing mercy,

your power to restore.

Thank you for never letting me go,

your long suffering and patience,

never giving up in pursuing me

for my good and for your glory.

I bless you Lord.
