Abba Father, I thank you for the love that you've displayed in my life. You are a good Father and I submit to your word, your way, and guidance. I ask that you would open my ears Abba. I desire to hear your thoughts. I desire to understand how you love us so much that you'd send your son to die for us.

Prayer to Discern God’s Voice

O' Lord, thank you for sending your son to die for my sins and giving me the Holy Spirit to lead me into righteousness. I pray that you would help me to be more Holy each day. I want to honor you O' God with my life, words, body, career, thoughts, and love. Please help me to be committed to the work of the Gospel and release my selfish desires for things that only please my flesh. Father please increase my discernment, so that I can know when I'm walking in the opposite direction of righteousness. Help me to discern whether I'm operating in love or hate, humility or pride, and strength or un-forgiveness. Your word said the heart is desperately wicked and only you know its depths. So cleanse me with your truth Abba. You are Jehovah M'kaddesh the God that sanctifies and I trust that you will cleanse your children of sin. 

Help me to see your eternal perspective and to be zealous about bringing your lost sheep into your Kingdom. Lastly, I ask to hear your voice and direction in my life Abba. Guide me, teach me, and counsel me O' Lord. And help me to know and discern your will and voice about everything that concerns your heart. I want to weep for what you weep for. And I want to rejoice about what you deem worthy. I desire our hearts to beat in sync God. I'm blessed to be grafted into your love and adopted into your Holy lineage. Because of the blood of Christ, it is my portion to hear all my father is doing because we are friends. I rejoice because such a holy and powerful God would consider me a friend and share his secrets with me. I am blessed. I love you Abba. Amen.

Prayer to Hear God’s Plan for Earth

Abba father, I ask that your kingdom would come, and your will would be done, on earth as it is in heaven. I ask that the saints and myself would find it vital to consume your daily bread. I acknowledge that your words, your love, and your leading is the most potent part of the day.  I ask that I wouldn't get spiritually malnourished by forgetting to consume the meat of the word, the body of Christ, and the blood of Jesus. I want to walk in daily remembrance that Christ died and defeated the work of Satan in my life and in this world. O' Lord, I declare a generation that is free from the shackles of Satan and that boldly embrace the work of Christ. I release forgiveness, physical healing, mercy, patience, kindness, sober minds, long suffering, perseverance, and righteous love across this globe.

I can see your army rising up to take their place on earth. I thank you Abba that every demonic stronghold is being lifted off the saints as we speak. I thank you that I can hear your plans more clearly. I thank you that the Saints are being awakened to your plans as well. O' Lord, I thank you that I get to partner with you to drive back the enemies' plan and declare your victory on this earth. Teach me O' Lord, show me your plans to turn what the enemy meant for evil to good. I ask for supernatural sight to see how you will restore all that the enemy tried to steal. I believe in your mighty power God. I am confident you are God and you have given me authority to trample on spiritual darkness. Thank you father for letting me into your battle plan. I love you Abba. Amen.

    Good teachings that inspire deeply. I was desperately seeking God over an issue and Isaiah 30:21 just came in time.

    I notice you don’t use the name Jesus. I wonder why is that?

      Hello Leah! I think I mentioned Jesus a few time, I would revisit the post. In the first prayer, I include this line: “I ask that I wouldn’t get spiritually malnourished by forgetting to consume the meat of the word, the body of Christ, and the blood of Jesus.”

        Christina,
        You make my day or night in many instances. I wake up, 3:16. Prayer typically ensues, I am hyper aware. In your post both meditate and mediate fit in what you wrote. GOD is at our side. You are blessed. I hope my wife and I BOTH stay connected to you and your words. I am still taking small steps.
        Thank you Jesus,
        God is a part us forever
