12 Prayers for the Month of October

God has been speaking to me about shifting atmospheres. I think too often, we settle for darkness when we can bring light through prayer and praise.

Consider, what situations have you accepted as normal? What people have you decided will never change? Who do you avoid because you don’t like their energy? And what places have you decided aren’t Godly enough for you?

My sweet friend, those are the places and people that God wants you to pray for. In partnership with God, your prayers have the power to drive out darkness.

Prayer can and will change every dark atmosphere.

Prophetic Prayer for the Month of October

This month, I pray for a calm to all of life’s storms. I ask for the authority of Jesus to boldly rebuke every challenging situation. I declare a peace that surpasses all understanding to overtake everyone that needs it. Hallelujah God. You are magnificent! I’m rejoicing as anxiety, fear, and worry are being loosed from your saints. Though the enemies’ influence is strong, yours is stronger. I thank you for dealing with everything that comes against believers, such as strongholds, false accusations, relational issues, sickness, division, and chaos. I declare the blood of Jesus over my life, family, friends, church, and job. Through Christ, we are being perfected and purified. You will finish the work you started in each of us and I trust you.

Thank you papa that you have given me authority over the storms and darkness. Father, I ask for your faith and strength to shift atmospheres with your power. Yes Lord, you walk with me. And your spirit lives within me. As I partner with you, my presence causes demons to flee. O’ Lord, I thank you that the enemy cannot stop your plan to unveil truth to this world. I’m excited to see how you’re going to turn around everything the devil meant for evil. Though they mean it for evil, you will use it for good. Amen.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)

Prayer for Month of October

At your command everything changes. You O’Lord said, ”let there be light” and the darkness in the world was lit up. Even your breathe is powerful O’ Lord, for you breathed humanity into existence.

Almighty God, you take nothing and make it into something. You find a way when there is none. You sent your son to conquer sin and you came back with the victory. Satan thought he won, but you had the final word.

And you’re still the same God. You always win and you always get the victory. Transform my mind and increase my faith to believe in your supernatural power. You are the way-maker and miracle worker that will always have the final word.

Thank you for exposing strongholds and demonic strategy around me and across this world. I thank you that darkness cannot win. I declare that your truth will not only expose, but bring light. I rejoice that the you have a perfect plan to spread the Gospel, restore marriages, heal the sick, give sight to the blind, release the oppressed, and feed the hungry.

Holy is the Lord, God Almighty.
The earth is filled with His glory.
Amen.

Prayer to Stay Positive

Today my prayer to you O’Lord is for consistency, focus, and discipline. Abba father, help me and other Christians to access your strength to move forward and look upwards. I ask for the ability to focus on you and your plans rather than getting entangled in civilian affairs. Thank you God for stubborn faith to believe despite the reality of the brokenness around. I submit my heart to you father and I stand in the gap for believers everywhere that can’t. Thank you for your help to stay undefiled and pure in your sight. I look to you today Papa for you are a good father and I love and need you. Amen.

Speak to your fears. Tell them it will work out because all things work together for the good of them that love God. Romans 8:28

Prayer for Hunger and Thirst to be Filled

Today my prayer is for saints around the world to seek God with their whole hearts. O’Lord may we hunger and thirst for your presence and righteousness. I pray that we would never become comfortable with just enough, but we would crave your voice, will, and word. For then we will be filled and find the treasures of who you are. For you are a beautiful and holy God that is worthy of all praise. Help me to magnify you O’Lord, so your name can be lifted higher. Amen.

Prayer for Strengthened Identity

Today, my prayer is to know who I was created to be (identity). I acknowledge that I wasn’t created to be guided by the opinions of others and my fear of making mistakes. Father God, please show me all the strengths of my personality rather than the weaknesses. Help me to remember that I was created as a reflection of a perfect God.

I ask for people to surround me that will assume the best of me and help me develop a deeper understanding of the gold within me. Also, papa please give me the grace to cherish, respect, and selflessly love them back. And I pray that you use my beautiful traits to help make others grow into their identity and feel vulnerable enough to love and trust again. Thanks you God that love and mercy wins all the time. Amen.
