Pray Without Ceasing

Father, in the name of Jesus, my Savior, I offer up thanksgiving and praise that You have called me to be a fellow workman with and for You (1 Corinthians 3:9). I commit myself to pray daily and not to turn coward or lazy — to faint, lose heart, or give up (Luke 18:1 Amplified). Fearlessly and confidently and boldly I draw near to Your Throne of Grace, that I may receive mercy and find grace to help in good time for every need (Hebrews 4:16).

Father God, I live in You and Your words remain in me and continue to live in my heart. Therefore I ask whatever I will and it shall be done for me, for when I produce fruit through prayer, You, Father, are honored and glorified (John 15:7-8). Whatever I ask for in prayer, I believe that it is granted to me, and so, believing, I will receive it (Mark 11:24). The earnest prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available (James 5:16). I am Your righteous because I am in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21). So I pray to You.

This is the confidence I have in You, that whenever I ask anything according to Your wonderful will, You will hear. And if I know You hear whatever I ask, I know I have what I have asked You for (1 John 5:14-15). I have total confidence in this because I makes sure to obey Your commands and stay abiding in You. Therefore I do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in every care, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, I continue to make my requests and needs known to You (Philippians 4:6).

Dear Lord Jesus, You said, “According to your faith let it be done unto you.” (Matthew 9:29). You said that if we believed, we will receive what we ask for in prayer (Matthew 21:22). Lord, As You mature my faith, teach me how to pray effectively, and what to ask of You in prayer. You said, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” (Mark 5:36). Help me not to be discouraged but to continue to pray and not to be afraid or doubtful; but only to believe and trust in You.
