A Prayer Of Hope

A prayer of David {Psalms 143}

Come quickly, LORD, answer me please, for my depression deepens and I am losing my courage; don’t turn away from me or I will die. Remind me each morning of Your constant love, for I put my trust in You. My prayers go up to You; show me the way I should go. I come to You for protection LORD, rescue me from my enemies {Self, Satan and sin}. Help me to do Your will; teach me to live a life that pleases You for it is You that I long to please.  Lead me by Your blessed Ruach {spirit} to right paths which lead to higher ground. LORD, let me live so that people will praise your name. Show me how good You are and save me from my trouble. Be good to me, and guide me to paths of righteousness. Show me Your love and give me the grace to love those who deserve it least but need it most.

 

 

A Prayer Praise and Commitment

Father, keep me from pride and arrogance. In spite of my many failures, pride continues to be a thorn in my flesh. Please Father, help me understand that I am the chief of sinners so that I will not to look down on anyone else. I do not do great things; I cannot solve great mysteries or do miracles but I commit myself to small things like helping my neighbor, visiting the sick and sharing your word. Please give me a quiet and gentle spirit like a child in the arms of its loving mother. I want to know the peace of a baby in its mother’s arms. People of America, put your hope in Jesus. Believe in Him now, believe in Him always. Jesus is our only hope.

[Based on Psalm 131]

Prayer For Jews And Gentiles

From the depths of my despair, from rock bottom, I call for Your help O Lord. Hear my prayer in Jesus name. Father, if you had not sent Jesus to die for our sins, we would have no hope; all our sins would be held against us and none of us could stand in judgment for our sins would be are doom. We rejoice, that in Christ all our sins have been forgiven, the charges against us have been erased. Lord Jesus, I am counting on YOU. I put my hope in YOU and YOU alone. I trust your word which is where my confidence lies. Father, I long for full redemption like a night watchman longs for dawn. May people everywhere in every nation turn to Jesus for salvation. May Jew and Gentle alike put their faith and confidence in Jesus Christ. Father you have dispersed the Jews to every continent and every nation, they are all over the globe–do a work in them. Open their eyes so they can see the One we all pierced. Raise up Jewish evangelist all over the world so that they can help us to get the gospel to the ends of the earth or so that we can help them. May Your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen!

Celebration Of Hope

LORD, I do not feel proud nor see myself as better than others. Once upon a time I had grandiose dreams about fame and success but I rarely think of such things these days. In time, You have taught me to keep my feet on the ground, to wait upon You and to be content with what I have. You have given me a spirit of calm, like a baby nursing on its mother’s breast; a feeling of satisfaction, security, warmth and love. I trust You LORD; You are MY HOPE both now and forever. In Jesus name I pray,  Amen!

My Hope Prayer

Father, I am ready in heart and soul to sing songs of praise but a good revival would help. A spiritual wake up to the soul would be refreshing. I think I have the will and the courage to do a world concert but I lack the voice and the opportunity so I will sing to You. It’s Your voice that the world needs to hear and Your faithfulness that they need to recognize. LORD, You are as faithful as the day is long and as the sky is high. My prayer is that you will manifest Your presence and power is some unique way so that this evil world system will be forced to acknowledge that You are God the Eternal One. Father our hope and our victory is in JESUS. He will reward as He sees fit on that grand and glorious day of His return. We will be whatever He decrees and we will do whatever He commands. Right now we have a job to do, a battle to be fought and we need Your help. LORD of the harvest, call more laborers into My Hope, we could use more help but our trust is not in human help. Mankind cannot save us. Only You can convict of sin. Only You can cleanse and forgive sin. Only You can transform lives and give peace, joy and victory. LORD, You are my strength, my song, my salvation and My Hope.

Prayer For New Direction

Father all of creation is in Your hand. You are the potter, we are the clay. You control out destiny. We live continually at Your mercy. Our situation seems hopeless. My generation seems determined to do things their way. Our worship has even been corrupted by our vain self wills. We walk according to the dictates of our own heart and our hearts are desperately sick. As a nation, we treat You as if You do not exist. We burn incense to worthless idols. We spend billions on trivial pursuits. We work tirelessly to entertain ourselves so that we don’t have time to think. We are stumbling around like a blind man in a room filled with furniture. We are devoid of any real substance. Everything is tensile and sham. We constantly clamor for more rights and greater blessings but we have not given You thanks for the blessing we have. We want more and more but we give thanks less and less. We have strayed from the beaten path that our founding fathers laid before us. We are under the illusion that we are making our own way but actually we are on the broad way that leads to destruction. We are making good time but headed in the wrong direction. Our only hope is repentance but no one wants to repent. Our pride is such that we will not even acknowledge our sins, let alone turn from them. We need Revival. Nothing less will save this wayward and wicked generation. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen!

“My Hope” Prayer

 

Father, I believe that many Americans and others around the world share the sentiment of Job who in despair cried out, “Where is MY HOPE, can anyone find it?” Job felt that his hope had been uprooted like a tree and I think many are inclined to agree. Father, You are the God of my eternal salvation and MY HOPE is in YOU. I take shelter in the integrity of Jesus. I do believe that He is the ultimate promise keeper and MY HOPE is in His word. I join king David in his confession of hope… “Where is MY HOPE, MY HOPE is in God. When I am discouraged and my heart is sad, I put MY HOPE in God.” Father like David of old, I wait quietly before YOU for MY HOPE is in Jesus Christ Your Son and my Savior. Jesus and Jesus alone is MY HOPE. May all who fear You join me in praising Jesus for His infinite goodness. MY HOPE Father is in Your word, Your Spirit and Your Son. Since childhood, MY HOPE has been in You and MY HOPE shall always be in You. I continue to look to YOU for salvation. Jesus Christ is the only hope for America. Have mercy on us O God and send REVIVAL. May we honor You by exalting the name of Jesus and it is in that perfect name that we pray. Amen!
