Day 21 – Protection

by | Aug 22, 2021 | 21 Days of Prayer - August 2021, Uncategorized

21/21 Days of Prayer

We often worry about our safety and security. When we feel this way, we can immediately come to God in prayer.
As we pour out our heart to Him here on earth, we are simultaneously winning battles in the heavenlies by asking for and claiming protection for ourselves and our families in Jesus’ Name.
2 THESSALONIANS 3:3 (NIV)

But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

Additional Verses on Protection:
• 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
• Deuteronomy 20:4
• Psalm 34:6
• Psalm 91:7
I encourage you to share your thoughts and concerns with God. Ask Him for His supernatural protection. He says He will command His angels to guard you in all your ways (Psalm 91:11). Claim this promise and lay everything down before Him. Trust in His good plans and His power to protect you and those you love.

PRAYER:

“God, I bow in worship to praise You. Thank You for making a way for me through Your Son, Jesus. I surrender myself completely in every area of my life to You. I submit myself to the true and living God and refuse any involvement of the enemy in my life. I choose to be transformed by the renewing of my mind. I reject every thought that tries to compete against the knowledge of Christ. I pray and thank You for a sound mind, the mind of Christ.
Today and every day I ask for protection over my family and loved ones; all immediate family members, relatives, friends, acquaintances, and myself. I ask for protection during all of our travels. I ask You to watch over our financial security, possessions, health, and safety (be as specific here as you like). All that I have is Yours God, and I declare that satan cannot touch me or anything You have given me. I rebuke the enemy and tell him to bow to the blood of Jesus that covers me and my family. He will not take what You have given us and we are protected and provided for by You, God, and You alone.”

Day 20 – Weariness

by | Aug 21, 2021 | 21 Days of Prayer - August 2021, Uncategorized

20/21 Days of Prayer

MATTHEW 11:28-30 (NIV)

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

PRAYER:

“Lord Jesus, I am so tired and worn out. (Tell God the areas where you’re tired and weary.) I feel exhausted mentally and physically. Life feels hard, and I feel like I can’t keep up my current pace. You invite me to come to You when I am weary, and I fall at Your feet desperate for rest, peace, and perspective. Show me where I am trying to do things on my own. Show me where I need to rest instead of striving. Teach me Your ways. Show me how to walk in gentleness, humility, and rest. I know Your ways are higher than my ways, and I pray that You will transform my heart and mind to be more like You.”

Day 19 – God My Source

by | Aug 20, 2021 | 21 Days of Prayer - August 2021, Uncategorized

19/21 Days of Prayer

As we approach the end of our 21 days of prayer together, let’s pray through a few scriptures together.
God’s Word is powerful, and all of God’s promises are for us today. The next two days we will look at scriptures and how we can make them personal prayers.
Let’s begin with King David’s Psalm 23. Take a moment to read the passage, and then use the prayer below as a way to use the Psalm to have a conversation with God.
PSALM 23 (NIV)

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely Your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

PRAYER:

“God, You are my Provider, and I know You will take care of me. Thank You for guiding me to places of rest. You are my source of energy and passion. You keep me going and lead me toward a life of purpose and freedom. I know that even when I experience my darkest seasons of difficulty and challenge, I have nothing to be afraid of because You are with me. Your presence and power are a constant comfort to me. I know that You are preparing the way for me and that my enemies cannot touch me because You are taking care of me. I know that You have blessed me, and I thank You for choosing me and anointing me with purpose. Your blessings are so much more than I could ask for. I know that You are good, God, and that You are with me all the days of my life. You have chosen me, and I have chosen You, and that means I will be with You, in Your presence, forever.”

Day 18 – Protection

by | Aug 19, 2021 | 21 Days of Prayer - August 2021, Uncategorized

18/21 Days of Prayer

“Keep me from harm…”
1 CHRONICLES 4:10 (NIV)

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let Your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.

Finally, Jabez asks the Lord to protect him. If we are influencing the world for Jesus, we must understand the enemy will try to stop us. That reality leads us to not only pray for God to help us when the enemy attacks, but also keep us from being attacked in the first place. Jesus has already won the victory for us on the cross, so we don’t need to fear destruction. God promises to be with us and protect us, and because He is with us we have nothing to fear.
Trust God to protect you. Tell Him specific areas where you feel the need for His protection and ask Him to cover areas that you can’t yet see.

PRAYER:

“God, as I walk out the purpose You have for my life, I pray that You will stop any and every attack of the enemy against me. Please protect my body, my mind, and my emotions. Don’t let the enemy get a foothold in my life. I pray, too, that You will protect my family and community from harm. I know that the One who is in me is greater than the one who is in the world, so I have nothing to fear. Thank You for watching over me. I love You and I trust You.”

Day 17 – Presence

by | Aug 18, 2021 | 21 Days of Prayer - August 2021, Uncategorized

17/21 Days of Prayer

“Let Your hand be with me…”
1 CHRONICLES 4:10 (NIV)

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let Your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.

We need God’s presence in our lives in order to make a lasting impact in people’s lives. Through His power at work within us, God can do more than we could ever ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). As we ask for blessing and influence, we need to ask for His presence as Jabez did. This prayer reminds us that we are not operating out of our own strength, but through the presence and the hand of our Almighty God.
In humility, acknowledge your need for God’s presence. Depend on Him, and ask for more of Him in your life today.

PRAYER:

“Lord, I know that without You, I am nothing. I cannot do what You’ve called me to do on my own. I am desperate for Your presence in my life. I depend on You completely. I recognize that the same Spirit who raised Christ Jesus from the dead lives in me. Through the power of Your Spirit, I pray that You will help me succeed in the opportunities You’ve given me. Thank You for being with me. I would never want to face today without You.”

Day 16 – Influence

by | Aug 17, 2021 | 21 Days of Prayer - August 2021, Uncategorized

16/21 Days of Prayer

“Enlarge my territory…”
1 CHRONICLES 4:10 (NIV)

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let Your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request

Jabez’s second request was for more influence. As God’s blessings increase in our lives, we experience greater opportunity to influence the world around us for Him.
God has the power to bless us greatly, and He also has the power to open doors of opportunity for us to make a difference. We want to walk through doors that only He can open. God responds when we specifically ask Him to give us more influence for His Name.
Pray for more influence. Trust God to open doors and lead you on the best path for your life. Know that He can make a way where there is no way. Ask Him for boldness to take every step He lays out for you.

PRAYER:

“God, make me effective in my sphere of influence, and open new doors for me to be able to impact and reach even more people for Your glory. Give me a heart to make a difference in the lives of people I have yet to meet, and boldness to walk in obedience to Your calling. Help me to be a good steward of the responsibility You’ve entrusted to me. I pray for greater territory to make an impact for Your glory.”
