Prayer for answers and guidance

Are you facing uncertainty? Not sure what choice to make? Or maybe you are confused about a situation. Can God give you an answer? Of course he can.

During moments of decision, take the time to consult with God. Ask him about anything and be patient. Then when he gives you an answer, the blessing’s baked in. Also, it’s important to be spiritually prepared for what God decides to show you.

Consultations with God may take time. This is one way he molds your relationship with him. You might want to keep notes about what the Spirit shows you while you pray — even if it seems like it has nothing to do with your question. Also, mark down Bible verses that speak to you during this time of discernment.

When the Lord decides you are ready, he will reveal his answers to you. In many cases, he responds to questions you weren’t asking about specifically — but they make a huge impact in your walk of faith. So ask anything. And get closer to the Lord.

PRAYER FOR ANSWERS AND GUIDANCE

Oh blessed Lord,

I have doubts, questions. I seek answers, so I seek your presence now.

Prepare me first, oh Lord. Grant me your peace that I may be ready for what you reveal to me.

Give me the humility to accept your will and your way. May your guidance be present always, and may your answer come when I am ready.

Cleanse me of any selfishness. Free me of all deceit.

Let your Spirit show me that my true rest is in Christ and not the answer I seek.

May your response be a guiding message bringing me closer to the love of my Savior and Lord.

In his holy name I pray, in the name of Jesus,

Amen.

Prayer to know God’s love

You may know about God’s love in your head, but do you feel it in your heart? Maybe sometimes you don’t feel anything. Could it be that you suffer too much? Or has your heart grown hard?

The Gospel message is a message of love. It contains all the secrets of God’s tender care for you. In the teachings and examples of Jesus, you receive loving guidance. In Christ’s passion and resurrection, you receive the loving Spirit of God.

Dig deeper into these truths. Read the Word. Pray. Be in communion with your church. In all these ways, you connect with Jesus and his everlasting love.

Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God; for God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

PRAYER TO KNOW GOD’S LOVE

Oh merciful Lord,

I feel you far, absent. Where’s your love?

I know you are there. I need to feel your love as a child feels a mother’s love.

Sure. Secure. Real.

So I cry out to you, my Creator, that by your mercy and grace I can open my heart in a clean, sincere way to let in your love.

If sin stands in the way, may forgiveness be the door to my salvation.

If I am afraid to let go, may your tender touch transform fear into trust.

You sent the Son, shamed and stained for me. The most profound way to show me you love me. No limit. Nothing held back. Divine, most holy love of God.

May your love pierce and rest deep in my heart,

With Christ, forever free.

In Jesus name,

Amen.

Prayer to stay on track

Are you feeling a bit rattled lately? Or maybe you’re running out of steam. You know what you have to do, but you’re tempted to give up. It all just seems like too much sometimes, right?

Remember, you don’t get anywhere by doing everything at once. The work, trials, suffering and actions are all part of the journey. And each step is another opportunity to trust more in God.

When things get shaky, take a moment and stop. Look at the big picture. Think about God’s plan for salvation in your life. Get things done, one-by-one, and move forward. If you don’t get to it all, keep going. Don’t give up trying. Your effort counts.

Seek the Lord with intensity. Cry out to him and he will deliver all you need.

PRAYER TO STAY ON TRACK

Oh heavenly Lord,

I know what I must do, but I feel unsteady. I’m tempted to give up. Won’t you help me?

Pour over me, oh Lord, your mercy and goodness. Reveal to my heart once again how much you love me.

Open the memory of my soul. Remind me how Christ came to lift me out of sin and set me free in life.

Give me confidence in the Spirit that guides me and goes before me to cast out the enemy and prepare the way.

Give me a steady mind and courage like steel to face the challenges here, today, now.

Jesus is the Way, The Truth and the Life.

May I follow and glorify him, my King, my Lord.

In the name of Jesus,

Amen.

Prayer to get out of a rut

Feeling down and out? Sometimes the daily grind leaves you with a lights-out feeling. The enemy wants to isolate you and bring you down, but God wants to set you free. Why not get a spiritual jump start?

Getting renewed doesn’t mean you have to be more religious. Instead, it means digging deeper into relationships. First, with Jesus, then with others. So seek activity where you will interact with people and grow. Join a group, get outside, anything… but move forward.

Even if you don’t have much time, you can still be creative. For instance, instead of the same old dinner routine, why not eat by candle-light? Or rather than browsing on your phone, give a friend a surprise call and set up time for coffee. Even small gestures can make a difference. So stop, pray and ask God to open up your creative side. You might be surprised what you discover inside you!

Prayer for a clear mind

Who doesn’t want to think more clearly? Some of the things today that cause poor concentration are not enough sleep, lack of exercise and too much time on devices.

Still, sometimes life is just full of responsibility you can’t avoid. In every situation, your intimacy with God makes a difference. When you stop to pray, God helps to organize your thoughts. He even reminds you of things you might have forgotten about. Also, as you pray for upcoming events, the Spirit prepares you to deal with them.

Finally, the closer you are to Jesus, the more confidence you have. In the end, prayer can actually save you time. It enables you to make decisions faster, and it invokes the Spirit to move.

So seek God’s Kingdom. Let the Lord take care of the heavy lifting.

Prayer for strong faith

With or without faith in God, life comes with challenges. But when your faith is strong, you gain a deeper peace and confidence. Plus, the Lord gives you guidance in every area of your life.

We can all benefit from stronger faith, but how do you get it? You don’t have to be a hero. Instead, the sincerity of your heart matters. If you’re looking for easy or magical solutions, you won’t strengthen your faith.

To be strong, you have to eat healthy. The food Jesus fed upon was the will of his Father. God wants us to love, forgive and serve, and Jesus is our example. If you do your best to follow him, there is no doubt your faith will grow stronger.

Prayer to stay positive

The world is full of negativity these days, and it affects us all. The reality is that times are tough. It’s hard to find meaning and truth sometimes.

The more you develop your relationship with Jesus, the more you understand our complicated world. Also, you understand yourself more. Christ is the key to stay positive, even in the worst situations.

Another thing that leads to negativity or depression is being alone. Remember, the Christian faith is a faith of community. Be a part of your church. Don’t expect the people you find there to be perfect — instead, love them for their humanity. And rejoice with the Body of Christ knowing that all things will be well.

Prayer to grow spiritually

In today’s world, spirituality has become a commodity. Everybody is offering spirituality-in-a-box. So we encounter a lot of tips, tricks, methods and quick solutions. The great mystery to spiritual growth might be that it’s not so much of a mystery at all. It’s simply recognizing God is in action at all times.

The most important part of spiritual growth isn’t special knowledge. A humble and willing attitude is all you need. God doesn’t want a change of conduct. Instead, he wants to change your heart.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. He motivates you to get to know Jesus more. This relationship produces blessings in your life for yourself and others. As truth of the resurrection conquers your heart and mind, you give up more control to God. In his hands, your spirit soars free.

Prayer for calm in the storm

Is there deep trouble in your life right now? Are you facing many trials at once? When the storm comes raging, it’s tempting to think all is lost. But wait… and remember.

Go back to the bedrock of your faith. Remember who Jesus is and what he has done for you. Remember who he is — the Son of God — your Savior. Seek shelter in his grace to give you calm and guide your actions.

You won’t find absolute rest in how people treat you or react. A situation won’t give you lasting comfort. Instead, trust in the owner and giver of true peace. After the storm passes, there will be fallen tress and debris, but your faith will remain. It will grow deeper and stronger. Trust in this process.

Prayer to break free

Even though we all want to be free, sometimes we forget about a crucial question about freedom. If you are free, what do you do with your freedom? If you could do whatever you want, what would you do? Our answers sometimes reveal that our inner struggles are really what keep us enslaved.

The liberty we find in Christ isn’t the kind of freedom the world tries to sell us. It’s not about power or temporary pleasures. Instead, it’s about a deep trust in our Creator. It’s the security of knowing that even though you’ve made mistakes, you are forgiven 100%. You can start again as the Lord makes all things new.

Remember, your freedom came at great cost. So use your freedom to spread love and mercy. Use it to show others they can be free too.
