Anointed Peaceful Prayers for Sleep | Bible Sleep Talkdown

psalm chapter 84 verse 10 to 12 says for a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere i would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my god than dwell in the tents of wickedness for the lord god is a son and shield the lord bestows favor and honor no good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly o lord of hosts blessed is the one who trusts in you and i pray that you will find this passage of scripture to be true in your life may jesus christ be a son and shield to you a sun that exposes and burns away evil and darkness and may he be a shield that defends you that defends your home that defends your loved ones from every form of attack may jesus christ be the shield that delivers you from the fowler's snare may jesus christ be the shield that keeps the deadly pestilence away from your body away from your family and away from your home may you find strength in the name of the lord and may you find him to be the reason that you do not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day first peter chapter 2 verse 7 says so the honor is for you who believe but for those who do not believe the stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone i encourage you not to harden your heart today receive christ rededicate your life to christ renew your commitment to him repent from sin and turn to jesus may he be the cornerstone of your faith may he be the cornerstone of your home i pray that you would have nothing in this world that disturbs you nothing that shakes you all because you stand on the firm foundation that is jesus christ may the lord pour out his spirit upon your life so that you may pray at a deeper level so that you might praise and worship him in spirit and in truth may god's holy spirit be so strong upon your life that you will have a great hunger and thirst for the presence of god the strength for you to conquer anything is drawn from christ the light that burns away any form of darkness or deception is jesus christ the goodness and mercy that follows you the grace that is upon you is all because of jesus christ if the enemy has in any way created walls in your life may they be brought down in the name of jesus any walls that make you feel hopeless any walls that make you feel disconnected to the lord i pray that they will be brought down and destroyed in jesus name romans chapter 10 verse 17 says so faith comes by hearing and hearing through the word of god and so to strengthen your faith today i would like to remind you that the word of god says in isaiah chapter 43 verse 18 to 19 remember not the former things nor consider the things of old behold i am doing a new thing now it springs forth do you not perceive it i will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert in order to strengthen your faith i want to remind you that the word of god says in ezekiel chapter 36 verse 25-27 i will sprinkle clean water on you and you shall be clean from your uncleanliness and from all your idols i will cleanse you and i will give you a new heart and a new spirit i will put within you and i will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh and i will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules in order to strengthen your faith today i want to remind you that the word of god says in first chronicles chapter 16 verse 10 to 12. glory in his holy name let the hearts of those who seek the lord rejoice seek the lord and his strength seek his presence continually remember the wondrous works that he has done his miracles and the judgments he uttered and finally i want to remind you that psalm chapter 20 says may the lord answer you in the day of trouble may the name of the god of jacob protect you may he send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from zion may he remember all your offerings and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices may he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans may we shout for joy over your salvation and in the name of our god set up our banners may the lord fulfill all your petitions now i know that the lord saves his anointed he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand some trust in chariots and some in horses but we trust in the name of the lord our god they collapse and fall but we rise and stand upright o lord save the king may he answer us when we call and so let us pray lord jesus you are the only son of god the only one who came from heaven lived a perfect life but died for the sins of the world and then rose again in victory the bible says in philippians chapter 2 verse 9 to 11 therefore god exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name that at the name of jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue acknowledge that jesus christ is lord to the glory of god the father your name is above every other name lord jesus there is authority in your name there is victory and protection in your name lord there is power in the name of jesus demons tremble at the name of jesus darkness will flee at the name of jesus sickness is healed broken hearts are mended all at the name of jesus christ and you say in your word in john chapter 14 verse 12 to 14 very truly i tell you whoever believes in me will do the works i have been doing and they will do even greater things than these because i am going to the father and i will do whatever you ask in my name so that the father may be glorified in the son you may ask me for anything in my name and i will do it prayers are answered in your name lord jesus you have so much power that whatever we ask in your name you will do according to the will of god and i would like to take the time out to praise you to lift you up and say that you are holy you are precious you are an awesome god justice jeremiah chapter 10 verse 6 says no one is like you lord you are great and your name is mighty in power at the sound of your name lord jesus the dead come back to life sinners are saved and hearts are brought from darkness into light and when this earth comes to an end it is at the name of jesus that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that he alone is lord all of the names will pass away but only one name will remain and that is yours lord jesus so i place my faith in you i worship you for being so perfect and wonderful your love sent you to the cross and you have given us the gift of salvation all because you care that much your name king jesus invokes action because your name is mighty it's life-giving and it's a stronghold in times of trouble your word in isaiah chapter 9 verse 6 says for to us a child is born towards a son is given and the government will be on his shoulders and he will be called wonderful counselor mighty god everlasting father i praise your name king jesus i give you honor and i say that you are holy and worthy to be praised thank you for hearing my prayer in jesus name i pray amen of all the people who have ever walked on the earth there is one man who stands out from all of us and that is jesus christ acts chapter 4 verse 8 to 12 says then peter filled with the holy spirit said to them rulers and elders of the people if we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed then know this you and all the people of israel it is by the name of jesus christ of nazareth whom you crucified but whom god raised from the dead that this man stands before you healed jesus is the stone you builders rejected which has become the cornerstone salvation is found in no one else for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved notice how peter inspired by the holy spirit said jesus is the stone you builders rejected which has become the cornerstone while he was here on earth there were people who believed in jesus and worshiped him but there were also those who rejected him and as peter said those who rejected jesus eventually found out that he became the cornerstone meaning he was not just another man who they could reject and walk away from he has become the cornerstone and a cornerstone is defined as an important quality or feature on which a particular thing depends or is based when it comes to construction a cornerstone is the first stone set in a masonry foundation all other stones will be set in reference to this cornerstone and so the placing of the cornerstone determines the position of the entire structure so those who reject jesus will eventually find that he is the very thing that they need for eternal life accepting or rejecting jesus christ will determine the position the direction and the trajectory of your life so i say this to you today don't reject the lord be sensitive to his knock on your heart do not reject jesus christ jesus is the only one with unlimited mercy and compassion he is the only one with true power and authority he is the only one who in an act of pure love broke through the gates of hell to rescue you and me he is the firstborn of the dead that's why we declare jesus to be the name above all other names because there is no other like him in all of human history past present and future there will never be anyone like jesus christ so it is to him that we direct all of our prayers and all of our praises we don't place our faith in a vague and nameless deity but we worship a living god now let us pray lord jesus i give you praise and honor i glorify your name and i am thankful for your goodness give me grace in my prayer life lord strengthen me to pray with fervency to pray with boldness and faith strengthen my prayer life today lord the bible tells me that while jesus was on this earth he prayed he prayed in the morning he prayed often he would separate himself from those around him just to pray i pray that i would have the same discipline i pray that i would have the same heart of prayer lead me to have a strong desire to seek after you day and night may prayer become a habit may it become a routine and a lifestyle lead me to be a believer whose first reaction is to turn to the lord in prayer if i am struggling may the holy spirit remind me to pray before i seek a solution elsewhere in the bible there are many occasions lord where you have demonstrated your love and grace to answer prayers i look at the example of daniel he prayed and kept praying until he got an answer his prayer was so consistent that you lord dispatched an archangel to make sure that no principality no demon on this earth could block the answer to daniel's prayers father give me that same relentless spirit of prayer may i keep pressing on may i keep fighting the battle on my knees until i receive my breakthrough father i understand that a prayerless christian is powerless a prayerless christian is disconnected to their only source of power which is you lord so i ask that the holy spirit would be my strength to help me to pray often and to pray relentlessly help me to be diligent and alert so that i won't allow anything or anyone to distract or disturb my prayer time i thank you lord jesus for the victory that you have given me when i call on your name i refuse to leave the door open to the kingdom of darkness let me be covered by your blood let me be shielded by my prayers to you lord so may you release an unquenchable desire within my heart to pray always make me a prayer warrior in your kingdom a prayer warrior who is dedicated and committed to maintaining a close relationship with you grant me the strength and the discipline to get on my knees before i start my day likewise grant me the strength and discipline to get on my knees at the end of my day and give you thanks acts chapter 2 verse 17 says and it shall come to pass in the last days says god that i will pour out my spirit on all flesh your sons and your daughters shall prophesy your young men shall see visions your old men shall dream dreams may you pour out your spirit over my life lord may you revive my prayer life may you birth in me a new passion i desire to experience your presence don't pass me by without pouring out your spirit over my life and my home i pray that i may be sensitive to the voice of the holy spirit when it leads me to pray help me to make sure that my schedule is never too busy that i would miss a divine appointment with you but instead i pray and i declare that you will always be the priority in my life lord i pray that you would touch my life today may there be a revival within me a renewal within my spirit bless your holy name for listening to this prayer in the mighty and precious name of jesus christ i pray amen we all need strength from god in our lives and i believe there are three main reasons why we should be seeking strength from above each and every day the first being to stand to stand firm when the enemy attacks this means that when we see trouble heading our way we don't turn the other way and run we don't call our neighbors or our parents looking for a place to run and hide we need strength from the lord to stand and to stand firm in faith to stand firm in the belief that when the enemy comes in like a flood the spirit of the lord will lift up a standard against him secondly we need strength from god to withstand the enemy's attacks when they do come we might be under attack for a season it could be a health crisis it could be financial it could be marital or many different reasons but we should be completely focused on the lord because he is the one that will grant us the strength to endure the strength to withstand that season of attack or difficulty and finally i believe that we need strength from the lord in order to overcome and gain the victory so i encourage you to rely on god's strength we need to stand firm in faith in order for us to be unshakable and to do so we must be rooted in jesus christ as believers when we see the devil attack we do not and should not run away and hide instead we are to plant our feet in god's word and in his promises we are to put on the full armor of god and begin to declare his word first john chapter 4 verse 4 tells us that greater is he who is in me than he who is in the world we are to stand and declare romans chapter 8 verse 31 if god is for us who can be against us stand and declare romans chapter 8 verse 37 in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us we need the strength that comes only from jesus christ so that we can endure so that we can withstand or hold off and resist the onslaught of the enemy if we tried to do things with our own strength we may be successful for a day or two but eventually our flesh will fail us but when we lean on the power and might of jesus christ that's where we have an advantage that's where we can find true strength because the bible says in isaiah chapter 40 verse 29 to 31 he gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall but those who hope in the lord will renew their strength they will saw on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint we need god's strength to endure because the bible says in second corinthians chapter 12 verse 9 and 10 but he said to me my grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness therefore i will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that christ's power may rest on me that is why for christ's sake i delight in weaknesses in insults in hardships in persecutions in difficulties for when i am weak then i am strong and finally strength that comes from jesus christ will always lead us to victory the bible says in exodus 15 verse 2 the lord is my strength and my defense he has become my salvation other translations say he has become my victory he is my god and i will praise him my father's god and i will exalt him now let us pray lord jesus help me to lean on you for strength help me to look only to you as the source of my strength father when my situation looks dim and bleak when the mountain ahead of me looks to be too great i am encouraged by your word your word that says in joshua chapter 1 verse 9 have i not commanded you be strong and courageous do not be afraid do not be discouraged for the lord your god will be with you wherever you go i will be strong and courageous because you are with me lord jesus you will cover me wherever i go you will sustain me to stand to endure and to ultimately gain victory over the devil so i speak and i declare the strength and might of jesus christ to begin operating in my life today i say that the strength of the holy spirit is active in my life and will help me to overcome nehemiah chapter 8 verse 10 says the joy of the lord is my strength so i know that i can stand strong because of the great joy that i have in you lord jesus no matter how the situation looks regardless if i don't know the outcome i have eternal hope in jesus christ he is the great assurance that i have even when things seem uncertain grant me divine strength in every season of my life lord when i encountered times that are difficult give me the strength to overcome king jesus when i am tempted or my flesh is weak give me the strength to endure when i am tired or feeling low may you give me the strength to press forward the strength to hold on and keep moving in the name of the lord i come to you heavenly father because you are an almighty god all power in heaven and on earth belongs to you your voice is like many waters and when you speak mountains tremble the wind and waves all of nature obeys your voice king jesus i pray that your light would shine through my life a light that is stronger than the darkness of this world a light that is pure and more powerful than evil i am so glad that you are on my side i am so thankful that i can say if god is for me who can be against me i am so glad that your word tells me nothing can take me away from your love romans 8 35 says who shall separate us from the love of christ shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword thank you lord for reassuring me that nothing will be able to separate me from you thank you lord for reassuring me that your love is strong and it is unbreakable i am so grateful for your care i pray that you would grant me strength in my time of need lord give me strength in my day of trouble i thank you for listening to my prayer in the mighty name of jesus christ i pray amen zephaniah chapter 3 verse 17. the lord your god is with you the mighty warrior who saves he will take great delight in you in his love he will no longer rebuke you but will rejoice over you with singing 2 corinthians chapter 9 verse 8

jesus christ so that we can endure so that we can withstand or hold off and resist the onslaught of the enemy if we tried to do things with our own strength we may be successful for a day or two but eventually our flesh will fail us but when we lean on the power and might of jesus christ that's where we have an advantage that's where we can find true strength because the bible says in isaiah chapter 40 verse 29 to 31 he gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall but those who hope in the lord will renew their strength they will saw on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint we need god's strength to enjoy because the bible says in 2 corinthians chapter 12 verse 9 and 10 but he said to me my grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness therefore i will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that christ's power may rest on me that is why for christ's sake i delight in weaknesses in insults in hardships in persecutions in difficulties for when i am weak then i am strong and finally strength that comes from jesus christ will always lead us to victory the bible says in exodus 15 verse 2 the lord is my strength and my defense he has become my salvation other translations say he has become my victory he is my god and i will praise him my father's god and i will exalt him now let us pray lord jesus help me to lean on you for strength help me to look only to you as the source of my strength father when my situation looks dim and bleak when the mountain ahead of me looks to be too great i am encouraged by your word your word that says in joshua chapter 1 verse 9 have i not commanded you be strong and courageous do not be afraid do not be discouraged for the lord your god will be with you wherever you go i will be strong and courageous because you are with me lord jesus you will cover me wherever i go you will sustain me to stand to endure and to ultimately gain victory over the devil so i speak and i declare this strength and might of jesus christ to begin operating in my life today i say that the strength of the holy spirit is active in my life and will help me to overcome nehemiah chapter 8 verse 10 says the joy of the lord is my strength so i know that i can stand strong because of the great joy that i have in you lord jesus no matter how the situation looks regardless if i don't know the outcome i have eternal hope in jesus christ he is the great assurance that i have even when things seem uncertain grant me divine strength in every season of my life lord when i encountered times that are difficult give me the strength to overcome king jesus when i am tempted or my flesh is weak give me the strength to endure when i am tired or feeling low may you give me the strength to press forward the strength to hold on and keep moving in the name of the lord i come to you heavenly father because you are an almighty god all power in heaven and on earth belongs to you your voice is like many waters and when you speak mountains tremble the wind and waves all of nature obeys your voice king jesus i pray that your light would shine through my life a light that is stronger than the darkness of this world a light that is pure and more powerful than evil i am so glad that you are on my side i am so thankful that i can say if god is for me who can be against me i am so glad that your word tells me nothing can take me away from your love romans 8 35 says who shall separate us from the love of christ shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword thank you lord for reassuring me that nothing will be able to separate me from you thank you

ahead i press on toward the goal to win the prize for which god has called me heavenward in christ jesus psalm chapter 84 verse 10 to 12 says for a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere i would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my god than dwell in the tents of wickedness for the lord god is a sun and shield the lord bestows favor and honor no good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly o lord of hosts blessed is the one who trusts in you and i pray that you will find this passage of scripture to be true in your life may jesus christ be a son and shield to you a sun that exposes and burns away evil and darkness and may he be a shield that defends you that defends your home that defends your loved ones from every form of attack may jesus christ be the shield that delivers you from the fowler's snare may jesus christ be the shield that keeps the deadly pestilence away from your body away from your family and away from your home may you find strength in the name of the lord and may you find him to be the reason that you do not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day first peter chapter 2 verse 7 says so the honor is for you who believe but for those who do not believe the stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone i encourage you not to harden your heart today receive christ rededicate your life to christ renew your commitment to him repent from sin and turn to jesus may he be the cornerstone of your faith may he be the cornerstone of your home i pray that you would have nothing in this world that disturbs you nothing that shakes you all because you stand on the firm foundation that is jesus christ may the lord pour out his spirit upon your life so that you may pray at a deeper level so that you might praise and worship him in spirit and in truth may god's holy spirit be so strong upon your life that you will have a great hunger and thirst for the presence of god the strength for you to conquer anything is drawn from christ the light that burns away any form of darkness or deception is jesus christ the goodness and mercy that follows you the grace that is upon you is all because of jesus christ if the enemy has in any way created walls in your life may they be brought down in the name of jesus any walls that make you feel hopeless any walls that make you feel disconnected to the lord i pray that they will be brought down and destroyed in jesus name romans chapter 10 verse 17 says so faith comes by hearing and hearing through the word of god and so to strengthen your faith today i would like to remind you that the word of god says in isaiah chapter 43 verse 18 to 19 remember not the former things nor consider the things of old behold i am doing a new thing now it springs forth do you not perceive it i will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert in order to strengthen your faith i want to remind you that the word of god says in ezekiel chapter 36 verse 25 to 27 i will sprinkle clean water on you and you shall be clean from your uncleanliness and from all your idols i will cleanse you and i will give you a new heart and a new spirit i will put within you and i will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh and i will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules in order to strengthen your faith today i want to remind you that the word of god says in first chronicles chapter 16 verse 10 to 12 glory in his holy name let the hearts of those who seek the lord rejoice seek the lord and his strength seek his presence continually remember the wondrous works that he has done his miracles and the judgments he uttered and finally i want to remind you that psalm chapter 20 says may the lord answer you in the day of trouble may the name of the god of jacob protect you may he send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from zion may he remember all your offerings and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices may he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans may we shout for joy over your and in the name of our god set up our banners may the lord fulfill all your petitions now i know that the lord saves his anointed he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand some trust in chariots and some in horses but we trust in the name of the lord our god they collapse and fall but we rise and stand upright oh lord save the king may he answer us when we call and so let us pray lord jesus you are the only son of god the only one who came from heaven lived a perfect life but died for the sins of the world and then rose again in victory the bible says in philippians chapter 2 verse 9 to 11 therefore god exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name that at the name of jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue acknowledge that jesus christ is lord to the glory of god the father your name is above every other name lord jesus there is authority in your name there is victory and protection in your name lord there is power in the name of jesus demons tremble at the name of jesus darkness will flee at the name of jesus sickness is healed broken hearts are mended all at the name of jesus christ and you say in your word in john chapter 14 verse 12 to 14 very truly i tell you whoever believes in me will do the works i have been doing and they will do even greater things than these because i am going to the father and i will do whatever you ask in my name so that the father may be glorified in the sun you may ask me for anything in my name and i will do it prayers are answered in your name lord jesus you have so much power that whatever we ask in your name you will do according to the will of god and i would like to take the time out to praise you to lift you up and say that you are holy you are precious you are an awesome god just as jeremiah chapter 10 verse 6 says no one is like you lord you are great and your name is mighty in power at the sound of your name lord jesus the dead come back to life sinners are saved and hearts are brought from darkness into light and when this earth comes to an end it is at the name of jesus that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that he alone is lord all of the names will pass away but only one name will remain and that is yours lord jesus so i place my faith in you i worship you for being so perfect and wonderful your love sent you to the cross and you have given us the gift of salvation all because you care that much your name king jesus invokes action because your name is mighty it's life-giving and it's a stronghold in times of trouble your word in isaiah chapter 9 verse 6 says for to us a child is born towards a son is given and the government will be on his shoulders and he will be called wonderful counselor mighty god everlasting father i praise your name king jesus i give you honor and i say that you are holy and worthy to be praised thank you for hearing my prayer in jesus name i pray amen of all the people who have ever walked on the earth there is one man who stands out from all of us and that is jesus christ acts chapter 4 verse 8 to 12 says then peter filled with the holy spirit said to them rulers and elders of the people if we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed then know this you and all the people of israel it is by the name of jesus christ of nazareth whom you crucified but whom god raised from the dead that this man stands before you healed jesus is the stone you builders rejected which has become the cornerstone salvation is found in no one else for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved notice how peter inspired by the holy spirit said jesus is the stone you builders rejected which has become the cornerstone while he was here on earth there were people who believed in jesus and worshiped him but there were also those who rejected him and as peter said those who rejected jesus eventually found out that he became the cornerstone meaning he was not just another man who they could reject and walk away from he has become the cornerstone and a cornerstone is defined as an important quality or feature on which a particular thing depends or is based when it comes to construction a cornerstone is the first stone set in a masonry foundation all other stones will be set in reference to this cornerstone and so the placing of the cornerstone determines the position of the entire structure so those who reject jesus will eventually find that he is the very thing that they need for eternal life accepting or rejecting jesus christ will determine the position the direction and the trajectory of your life so i say this to you today don't reject the lord be sensitive to his knock on your heart do not reject jesus christ jesus is the only one with unlimited mercy and compassion he is the only one with true power and authority he is the only one who in an act of pure love broke through the gates of hell to rescue you and me he is the firstborn of the dead that's why we declare jesus to be the name above all other names because there is no other like him in all of human history past present and future there will never be anyone like jesus christ so it is to him that we direct all of our prayers and all of our praises we don't place our faith in a vague and nameless deity but we worship a living god now let us pray lord jesus i give you praise and honor i glorify your name and i am thankful for your goodness give me grace in my prayer life lord strengthen me to pray with fervency to pray with boldness and faith strengthen my prayer life today lord the bible tells me that while jesus was on this earth he prayed he prayed in the morning he prayed often he would separate himself from those around him just to pray i pray that i would have the same discipline i pray that i would have the same heart of prayer lead me to have a strong desire to seek after you day and night may prayer become a habit may it become a routine and a lifestyle lead me to be a believer whose first reaction is to turn to the lord in prayer if i am struggling may the holy spirit remind me to pray before i seek a solution elsewhere in the bible there are many occasions lord where you have demonstrated your love and grace to answer prayers i look at the example of daniel he prayed and kept praying until he got an answer his prayer was so consistent that you lord dispatched an archangel to make sure that no principality no demon on this earth could block the answer to daniel's prayers father give me that same relentless spirit of prayer may i keep pressing on may i keep fighting the battle on my knees until i receive my breakthrough father i understand that a prayerless christian is powerless a prayerless christian is disconnected to their only source of power which is you lord so i ask that the holy spirit would be my strength to help me to pray often and to pray relentlessly help me to be diligent and alert so that i won't allow anything or anyone to distract or disturb my prayer time i thank you lord jesus for the victory that you have given me when i call on your name i refuse to leave the door open to the kingdom of darkness let me be covered by your blood let me be shielded by my prayers to you lord so may you release an unquenchable desire within my heart to pray always make me a prayer warrior in your kingdom a prayer warrior who is dedicated and committed to maintaining a close relationship with you grant me the strength and the discipline to get on my knees before i start my day likewise grant me the strength and discipline to get on my knees at the end of my day and give you thanks acts chapter 2 verse 17 says and it shall come to pass in the last days says god that i will pour out my spirit on all flesh your sons and your daughters shall prophesy your young men shall see visions your old men shall dream dreams may you pour out your spirit over my life lord may you revive my prayer life may you birth in me a new passion i desire to experience your presence don't pass me by without pouring out your spirit over my life and my home i pray that i may be sensitive to the voice of the holy spirit when it leads me to pray help me to make sure that my schedule is never too busy that i would miss a divine appointment with you but instead i pray and i declare that you will always be the priority in my life lord i pray that you would touch my life today may there be a revival within me a renewal within my spirit i bless your holy name for listening to this prayer in the mighty and precious name of jesus christ i pray amen we all need strength from god in our lives and i believe there are three main reasons why we should be seeking strength from above each and every day the first being to stand to stand firm when the enemy attacks this means that when we see trouble heading our way we don't turn the other way and run we don't call our neighbors or our parents looking for a place to run and hide we need strength from the lord to stand and to stand firm in faith to stand firm in the belief that when the enemy comes in like a flood the spirit of the lord will lift up a standard against him secondly we need strength from god to withstand the enemy's attacks when they do come we might be under attack for a season it could be a health crisis it could be financial it could be marital or many different reasons but we should be completely focused on the lord because he is the one that will grant us the strength to endure the strength to withstand that season of attack or difficulty and finally i believe that we need strength from the lord in order to overcome and gain the victory so i encourage you to rely on god's strength we need to stand firm in faith in order for us to be unshakable and to do so we must be rooted in jesus christ as believers when we see the devil attack we do not and should not run away and hide instead we are to plant our feet in god's word and in his promises we are to put on the full armor of god and begin to declare his word first john chapter 4 verse 4 tells us that greater is he who is in me than he who is in the world we are to stand and declare romans chapter 8 verse 31 if god is for us who can be against us stand and declare romans chapter 8 verse 37 in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us we need the strength that comes only from jesus christ so that we can endure so that we can withstand or hold off and resist the onslaught of the enemy if we tried to do things with our own strength we may be successful for a day or two but eventually our flesh will fail us but when we lean on the power and might of jesus christ that's where we have an advantage that's where we can find true strength because the bible says in isaiah chapter 40 verse 29 to 31 he gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall but those who hope in the lord will renew their strength they will saw on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint we need god's strength to endure because the bible says in 2 corinthians chapter 12 verse 9 and 10 but he said to me my grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness therefore i will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that christ's power may rest on me that is why for christ's sake i delight in weaknesses in insults in hardships in persecutions in difficulties for when i am weak then i am strong and finally strength that comes from jesus christ will always lead us to victory the bible says in exodus 15 verse 2 the lord is my strength and my defense he has become my salvation other translations say he has become my victory he is my god and i will praise him my father's god and i will exalt him now let us pray lord jesus help me to lean on you for strength help me to look only to you as the source of my strength father when my situation looks dim and bleak when the mountain ahead of me looks to be too great i am encouraged by your word your word that says in joshua chapter 1 verse 9 have i not commanded you be strong and courageous do not be afraid do not be discouraged for the lord your god will be with you wherever you go i will be strong and courageous because you are with me lord jesus you will cover me wherever i go you will sustain me to stand to endure and to ultimately gain victory over the devil so i speak and i declare the strength and might of jesus christ to begin operating in my life today i say that the strength of the holy spirit is active in my life and will help me to overcome nehemiah chapter 8 verse 10 says the joy of the lord is my strength so i know that i can stand strong because of the great joy that i have in you lord jesus no matter how the situation looks regardless if i don't know the outcome i have eternal hope in jesus christ he is the great assurance that i have even when things seem uncertain grant me divine strength in every season of my life lord when i encountered times that are difficult give me the strength to overcome king jesus when i am tempted or my flesh is weak give me the strength to endure when i am tired or feeling low may you give me the strength to press forward the strength to hold on and keep moving in the name of the lord i come to you heavenly father because you are an almighty god all power in heaven and on earth belongs to you your voice is like many waters and when you speak mountains tremble the wind and waves all of nature obeys your voice king jesus i pray that your light would shine through my life a light that is stronger than the darkness of this world a light that is pure and more powerful than evil i am so glad that you are on my side i am so thankful that i can say if god is for me who can be against me i am so glad that your word tells me nothing can take me away from your love romans 8 35 says who shall separate us from the love of christ shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword thank you lord for reassuring me that nothing will be able to separate me from you thank you lord for reassuring me that your love is strong and it is unbreakable i am so grateful for your care i pray that you would grant me strength in my time of need lord give me strength in my day of trouble i thank you for listening to my prayer in the mighty

god justice jeremiah chapter 10 verse 6 says no one is like you lord you are great and your name is mighty in power at the sound of your name lord jesus the dead come back to life sinners are saved and hearts are brought from darkness into light and when this earth comes to an end it is at the name of jesus that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that he alone is lord all of the names will pass away but only one name will remain and that is yours lord jesus so i place my faith in you [Music] i worship you for being so perfect and wonderful your love sent you to the cross and you have given us the gift of salvation all because you care that much your name king jesus invokes action because your name is mighty it's life-giving and it's a stronghold in times of trouble your word in isaiah chapter 9 verse 6 says for to us a child is born towards a son is given and the government will be on his shoulders and he will be called wonderful counselor mighty god everlasting father i praise your name king jesus i give you honor and i say that you are holy and worthy to be praised thank you for hearing my prayer in jesus name i pray amen of all the people who have ever walked on the earth there is one man who stands out from all of us and that is jesus christ acts chapter 4 verse 8 to 12 says then peter filled with the holy spirit said to them rulers and elders of the people if we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed then know this you and all the people of israel it is by the name of jesus christ of nazareth whom you crucified but whom god raised from the dead that this man stands before you healed jesus is the stone you builders rejected which has become the cornerstone salvation is found in no one else for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved notice how peter inspired by the holy spirit said jesus is the stone you builders rejected which has become the cornerstone while he was here on earth there were people who believed in jesus and worshiped him but there were also those who rejected him and as peter said those who rejected jesus eventually found out that he became the cornerstone meaning he was not just another man who they could reject and walk away from he has become the cornerstone and the cornerstone is defined as an important quality or feature on which a particular thing depends or is based when it comes to construction a cornerstone is the first stone set in a masonry foundation all other stones will be set in reference to this cornerstone and so the placing of the cornerstone determines the position of the entire structure so those who reject jesus will eventually find that he is the very thing that they need for eternal life accepting or rejecting jesus christ will determine the position the direction and the trajectory of your life so i say this to you today don't reject the lord be sensitive to his knock on your heart do not reject jesus christ jesus is the only one with unlimited mercy and compassion he is the only one with true power and authority he is the only one who in an act of pure love broke through the gates of hell to rescue you and me he is the firstborn of the dead that's why we declared jesus to be the name above all other names because there is no other like him in all of human history past present and future there will never be anyone like jesus christ so it is to him that we direct all of our prayers and all of our praises we don't place our faith in a vague and nameless deity but we worship a living god now let us pray lord jesus i give you praise and honor i glorify your name and i am thankful for your goodness give me grace in my prayer life lord strengthen me to pray with fervency to pray with boldness and faith strengthen my prayer life today lord the bible tells me that while jesus was on this earth he prayed he prayed in the morning he prayed often he would separate himself from those around him just to pray i pray that i would have the same discipline i pray that i would have the same heart of prayer lead me to have a strong desire to seek after you day and night may prayer become a habit may it become a routine and a lifestyle lead me to be a believer whose first reaction is to turn to the lord in prayer if i am struggling may the holy spirit remind me to pray before i seek a solution elsewhere in the bible there are many occasions lord where you have demonstrated your love and grace to answer prayers i look at the example of daniel he prayed and kept praying until he got an answer his prayer was so consistent that you lord dispatched an archangel to make sure that no principality no demon on this earth could block the answer to daniel's prayers father give me that same relentless spirit of prayer may i keep pressing on may i keep fighting the battle on my knees until i receive my breakthrough father i understand that a prayerless christian is powerless a prayerless christian is disconnected to their only source of power which is you lord so i ask that the holy spirit would be my strength to help me to pray often and to pray relentlessly help me to be diligent and alert so that i won't allow anything or anyone to distract or disturb my prayer time i thank you lord jesus for the victory that you have given me when i call on your name i refuse to leave the door open to the kingdom of darkness let me be covered by your blood let me be shielded by my prayers to you lord so may you release an unquenchable desire within my heart to pray always make me a prayer warrior in your kingdom a prayer warrior who is dedicated and committed to maintaining a close relationship with you grant me the strength and the discipline to get on my knees before i start my day likewise grant me the strength and discipline to get on my knees at the end of my day and give you thanks acts chapter 2 verse 17 says and it shall come to pass in the last days says god that i will pour out my spirit on all flesh your sons and your daughters shall prophesy your young men shall see visions your old men shall dream dreams may you pour out your spirit over my life lord may you revive my prayer life may you birth in me a new passion i desire to experience your presence don't pass me by without pouring out your spirit over my life and my home i pray that i may be sensitive to the voice of the holy spirit when it leads me to pray help me to make sure that my schedule is never too busy that i would miss a divine appointment with you but instead i pray and i declare that you will always be the priority in my life i pray that you would touch my life today may there be a revival within me a renewal within my spirit i bless your holy name for listening to this prayer in the mighty and precious name of jesus christ i pray amen we all need strength from god in our lives [Music] and i believe there are three main reasons why we should be seeking strength from above each and every day the first being to stand to stand firm when the enemy attacks this means that when we see trouble heading our way we don't turn the other way and run we don't call our neighbors or our parents looking for a place to run and hide we need strength from the lord to stand and to stand firm in faith to stand firm in the belief that when the enemy comes in like a flood the spirit of the lord will lift up a standard against him secondly we need strength from god to withstand the enemy's attacks when they do come we might be under attack for a season it could be a health crisis it could be financial it could be marital or many different reasons but we should be completely focused on the lord because he is the one that will grant us the strength to endure the strength to withstand that season of attack or difficulty and finally i believe that we need strength from the lord in order to overcome and gain the victory so i encourage you to rely on god's strength we need to stand firm in faith in order for us to be unshakable and to do so we must be rooted in jesus christ as believers when we see the devil attack we do not and should not run away and hide instead we are to plant our feet in god's word and in his promises we are to put on the full armor of god and begin to declare his word first john chapter 4 verse 4 tells us that greater is he who is in me than he who is in the world we are to stand and declare romans chapter 8 verse 31 if god is for us who can be against us stand and declare romans chapter 8 verse 37 in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us we need the strength that comes only from jesus christ so that we can endure so that we can withstand or hold off and resist the onslaught of the enemy if we tried to do things with our own strength we may be successful for a day or two but eventually our flesh will fail us but when we lean on the power and might of jesus christ that's where we have an advantage that's where we can find true strength because the bible says in isaiah chapter 40 verse 29 to 31 he gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall but those who hope in the lord will renew their strength they will saw on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint we need god's strength to endure because the bible says in 2 corinthians chapter 12 verse 9 and 10 but he said to me my grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness therefore i will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that christ's power may rest on me that is why for christ's sake i delight in weaknesses in insults in hardships in persecutions in difficulties for when i am weak then i am strong and finally strength that comes from jesus christ will always lead us to victory the bible says in exodus 15 verse 2 the lord is my strength and my defense he has become my salvation other translations say he has become my victory he is my god and i will praise him my father's god and i will exalt him now let us pray lord jesus help me to lean on you for strength help me to look only to you as the source of my strength father when my situation looks dim and bleak when the mountain ahead of me looks to be too great i am encouraged by your word your word that says in joshua chapter 1 verse 9 have i not commanded you be strong and courageous do not be afraid do not be discouraged for the lord your god will be with you wherever you go i will be strong and courageous because you are with me lord jesus you will cover me wherever i go you will sustain me to stand to endure and to ultimately gain victory over the devil so i speak and i declare the strength and might of jesus christ to begin operating in my life today i say that the strength of the holy spirit is active in my life and will help me to overcome nehemiah chapter 8 verse 10 says the joy of the lord is my strength so i know that i can stand strong because of the great joy that i have in you lord jesus no matter how the situation looks regardless if i don't know the outcome i have eternal hope in jesus christ he is the great assurance that i have even when things seem uncertain grant me divine strength in every season of my life lord when i encountered times that are difficult give me the strength to overcome king jesus when i am tempted all my flesh is weak give me the strength to endure when i am tired or feeling low may you give me the strength to press forward the strength to hold on and keep moving in the name of the lord i come to you heavenly father because you are an almighty god all power in heaven and on earth belongs to you your voice is like many waters and when you speak mountains tremble the wind and waves all of nature obeys your voice king jesus i pray that your light would shine through my life a light that is stronger than the darkness of this world a light that is pure and more powerful than evil i am so glad that you are on my side i am so thankful that i can say if god is for me who can be against me i am so glad that your word tells me nothing can take me away from your love romans 8 35 says who shall separate us from the love of christ shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword thank you lord for reassuring me that nothing will be able to separate me from you thank you lord for reassuring me that your love is strong and it is unbreakable i am so grateful for your care i pray that you would grant me strength in my time of need lord give me strength in my day of trouble i thank you for listening to my prayer in the mighty name of jesus christ i pray amen zephaniah chapter 3 verse 17 the lord your god is with you the mighty warrior who saves he will take great delight in you in his love he will no longer rebuke you but

13 to 14 brothers and sisters i do not consider myself to have taken hold of it but one thing i do forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead i press on toward the goal to win the prize for which god has called me heavenward in christ jesus psalm chapter 84 verse 10 to 12 says for a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere i would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my god then dwell in the tents of wickedness for the lord god is a son and shield the lord bestows favor and honor no good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly o lord of hosts blessed is the one who trusts in you and i pray that you will find this passage of scripture to be true in your life may jesus christ be a son and shield to you a son that exposes and burns away evil and darkness and may he be a shield that defends you that defends your home that defends your loved ones from every form of attack may jesus christ be the shield that delivers you from the foulest snare may jesus christ be the shield that keeps the deadly pestilence away from your body away from your family and away from your home may you find strength in the name of the lord and may you find him to be the reason that you do not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day first peter chapter 2 verse 7 says so the honor is for you who believe but for those who do not believe the stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone i encourage you not to harden your heart today receive christ rededicate your life to christ renew your commitment to him repent from sin and turn to jesus may he be the cornerstone of your faith may he be the cornerstone of your home i pray that you would have nothing in this world that disturbs you nothing that shakes you all because you stand on the firm foundation that is jesus christ may the lord pour out his spirit upon your life so that you may pray at a deeper level so that you might praise and worship him in spirit and in truth may god's holy spirit be so strong upon your life that you will have a great hunger and thirst for the presence of god the strength for you to conquer anything is drawn from christ the light that burns away any form of darkness or deception is jesus christ the goodness and mercy that follows you the grace that is upon you is all because of jesus christ if the enemy has in any way created walls in your life may they be brought down in the name of jesus any walls that make you feel hopeless any walls that make you feel disconnected to the lord i pray that they will be brought down and destroyed in jesus name romans chapter 10 verse 17 says so faith comes by hearing and hearing through the word of god and so to strengthen your faith today i would like to remind you that the word of god says in isaiah chapter 43 verse 18 to 19 remember not the former things nor consider the things of old behold i am doing a new thing now it springs forth do you not perceive it i will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert in order to strengthen your faith i want to remind you that the word of god says in ezekiel chapter 36 verse 25 to 27 i will sprinkle clean water on you and you shall be clean from your uncleanliness and from all your idols i will cleanse you and i will give you a new heart and a new spirit i will put within you and i will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh and i will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules [Music] in order to strengthen your faith today i want to remind you that the word of god says in first chronicles chapter 16 verse 10 to 12 glory in his holy name let the hearts of those who seek the lord rejoice seek the lord and his strength seek his presence continually remember the wondrous works that he has done his miracles and the judgments he uttered and finally i want to remind you that psalm chapter 20 says may the lord answer you in the day of trouble may the name of the god of jacob protect you may he send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from zion may he remember all your offerings and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices may he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans may we shout for joy over your salvation and in the name of our god set up our banners may the lord fulfill all your petitions now i know that the lord saves his anointed he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand some trust in chariots and some in horses but we trust in the name of the lord our god they collapse and fall but we rise and stand upright o lord save the king may he answer us when we call and so let us pray lord jesus you are the only son of god the only one who came from heaven lived a perfect life but died for the sins of the world and then rose again in victory the bible says in philippians chapter 2 verse 9 to 11 therefore god exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name that at the name of jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue acknowledge that jesus christ is lord to the glory of god the father your name is above every other name lord jesus there is authority in your name there is victory and protection in your name lord there is power in the name of jesus demons tremble at the name of jesus darkness will flee at the name of jesus sickness is healed broken hearts are mended all at the name of jesus christ and you say in your word in john chapter 14 verse 12 to 14 very truly i tell you whoever believes in me will do the works i have been doing and they will do even greater things than these because i am going to the father and i will do whatever you ask in my name so that the father may be glorified in the son you may ask me for anything in my name and i will do it prayers are answered in your name lord jesus you have so much power that whatever we ask in your name you will do according to the will of god and i would like to take the time out to praise you to lift you up and say that you are holy you are precious you are an awesome god just as jeremiah chapter 10 verse 6 says no one is like you lord you are great and your name is mighty in power at the sound of your name lord jesus the dead come back to life sinners are saved and hearts are brought from darkness into light and when this earth comes to an end it is at the name of jesus that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that he alone is lord all of the names will pass away but only one name will remain and that is yours lord jesus so i place my faith in you i worship you for being so perfect and wonderful your love sent you to the cross and you have given us the gift of salvation all because you care that much your name king jesus invokes action because your name is mighty it's life-giving and it's a stronghold in times of trouble your word in isaiah chapter 9 verse 6 says for to us a child is born to us a son is given and the government will be on his shoulders and he will be called wonderful counselor mighty god everlasting father i praise your name king jesus i give you honor and i say that you are holy and worthy to be praised thank you for hearing my prayer in jesus name i pray amen of all the people who have ever walked on
