  • Prayer When Depressed

    Father, as Your child, I boldly come before Your throne of grace that I may receive mercy and find grace to help in my time of need (Hebrews 4:16).  Father, I know Your ears are open to my prayers (1 John 5:14). I ask that You listen to my prayer now, O God, and hide not Your face from my supplication.  I ask You to attend to me and answer me for I am restless and distraught (Psalm 55:1-2). 

    God’s Word gives life! Trust Him!

    I confess the depression I am experiencing to You, O mighty God.  In doing so I also express my desire to forsake it and to put it behind me forever.  Thank You for lifting me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire my mind had put me into, and setting my feet upon the solid rock of confidence Your Word gives (Psalm 40:2).  Please guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long (Psalm 25:5). With Your Spirit to guide me, I will not give into depression any longer.  Instead, I will wait for the Lord; my soul waits, and in His Word I put my hope (Psalm 130:5).

    I love You, O Lord, my Strength (Psalm 18:1).  There is never a reason for me to mourn or to be depressed.  Instead, I will go to You because You are my exceeding joy (Psalm 43:4).  My hope is in You (Psalm 39:7), for You have been my hope, O Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth (Psalm 71:5).

    I am calling upon You, my Mighty God, to rescue me (Psalm 55:16).  You ransomed me unharmed from the battle of depression waged against me (Psalm 55:18).  I cast my burden on You, O Lord, releasing the weight of it and You sustain me; for You will never allow the consistently righteous to fall (Psalm 55:22).  Hopelessness lies in wait for me to swallow me up or trample me all day long (Psalm 56:2).  When I am afraid, I will trust in You.  In You, O God, whose Word I praise, in You I confidently put my trust.  I will not fear (Psalm 56:3-4).

    You know my every sleepless night, each tear and heartache is answered with Your promise.  I am thanking You with all my heart!  You pulled me from the brink of death, my feet from the cliff of doom.  Now I stroll at leisure with You in the sunlit fields of life (Psalm 56:5, 8, 13 MSG).  What would have become of me, Lord, had I not believed I would see Your goodness in the land of the living?  I will wait for You; I will be brave and of good courage and let my heart be stout and enduring.  Yes, I wait for You! (Psalm 27:13-14)

  • Praying to Overcome Depression

    Father, You are a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble (Psalm 9:9).  I lean on and confidently put my trust in You, for all those who know Your name trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You (Psalm 9:10).  Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put all hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God (Psalm 42:11).

    Why so depressed, O my soul? Trust in God, for I will yet praise Him.

    My soul is weary with sorrow; please strengthen me according to Your Word (Psalm 119:28). I was bowed down in distress (Psalm 57:6). Lord, You uphold all those who fall and lift up all who are bowed down (Psalm 145:14).  I will be of good courage because Your eyes range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to You (2 Chronicles 16:9). 

    “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11). Father, I know from Your Word that You have thoughts and plans for my welfare and peace. I will say to my fearful heart, “Be strong, do not fear; God will come, with divine retribution He will come to save me” (Isaiah 35:4).  You will keep me in perfect peace, as long as my mind is stayed on You (Isaiah 26:3), then I can stop allowing myself to be agitated and disturbed and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled (John 14:27 Amplified).

    Satan, I resist you and every oppressive spirit in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus. I resist fear, discouragement, self-pity, and depression (James 4:7). I speak the Word of truth, and I give you no place, devil; I give no opportunity to you (Ephesians 4:27). I am delivered from oppression and depression (Luke 4:18). I will overcome by the blood of the Lamb, my Savior, and the word of my own testimony (Revelation 12:11).

    You tell me: “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10). And so, I rejoice! I pray You will strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being (Ephesians 3:16).

    Father God, I thank You that I have been given a spirit of power and of love and of a calm and well-balanced mind (2 Timothy 1:7). I have a fresh mental and spiritual attitude, for I am being constantly renewed in the spirit of my mind by Your Word, O my God. Because Jesus is in me, I have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16) and I hold the thoughts and purposes of His heart (Philippians 2:5). I arise from the prostration and depression in which circumstances have kept me. I have been raised to new life. Thanks to Jesus, I can shine and be radiant with the glory of the Lord (Isaiah 60:1).

    Thank You, Father, in Jesus’ name, that I am set free from every evil work (Galatians 1:4). I praise You that the joy of the Lord is my strength (Nehemiah 8:10). God, my Father, has given me all things that pertain to life and godliness; and I am a partaker of His divine nature (2 Peter 1:3-4). The peace that surpasses all understanding keeps my heart and mind through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7). And things which are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, if they be of good report or have good virtue or are praiseworthy, I will think on these things (Philippians 4:8).

  • Praying for Freedom from Oppression

    In Him [Christ the Lord] and through faith in Him [Jesus the Messiah], we may approach God [Creator of the Cosmos, our Father] with freedom and confidence (Ephesians 3:12) to ask for His mercy and grace as we need it.

    Let us come out of our darkness, to display His light to others.

    Father, You Yourself have reconciled us by Christ’s physical body through death to present us holy in Your sight, without blemish and free from any accusation from the evil one (Colossians 1:22). Christ Jesus is the mediator of Your new covenant, that we who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance – since Jesus has died as a ransom to set us free from the sins committed under Your laws (Hebrews 9:15). He came to free us who all our lives were held in slavery by our fear of death (Hebrews 2:15). Thanks to the freedom we have in Christ Jesus (Galatians 2:4), I will speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the new law that gives freedom (James 2:12).

    It is for liberty that Christ has set us free. So, I will stand fast in the liberty Christ has given to me. With Your infinite mercies, Lord God, and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit who lives in me, I will never again be entangled with any yoke of bondage (Galatians 5:1). For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him (2 Peter 2:19) and I choose to not be mastered by anything (1 Corinthians 6:12) or anyone except You, Lord God, my Father.

    I run in the path of Your commands for You have set my heart free (Psalm 119:32). I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out Your precepts (Psalm 119:45). Your wonderful Word is the law of liberty in my life, O Lord, and I will look intently into Your Word and in the perfect liberty that it gives me.  With the help of Your graces, I will be a doer of Your Word and not a hearer only (James 1:25). 

    “The troubles of my heart have multiplied; free me from my anguish” (Psalm 25:17). In my anguish I cried to the Lord, and He answered by setting me free (Psalm 118:5). O Lord, truly I am Your servant… You have freed me from my chains (Psalm 116:16).

    I had pleaded: “Free me from the trap that is set for me, for You are my refuge, O Lord” (Psalm 31:4). And You said, “I removed the burden from your shoulders… In your distress you called and I rescued you” (Psalm 81:6-7). You are the God who avenges me… who sets me free from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from violent men You rescued me (2 Sam 22:48-49).

    The Lord is righteous; He has cut me free from the cords of the wicked (Psalm 129:4). The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free (Proverbs 11:21). He has freed us from our enemies – His love endures forever (Psalm 136:24).

    This is what the Lord says: In the time of My favor, I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you (Isaiah 49:8-9). The cowering prisoners will soon be set free; they will not die in their dungeons (Isaiah 51:14). O come all you who sit in darkness, come and see that the Lord sets prisoners free (Psalm 146:7). Lord God, You have set me free from my prison, and I will praise Your name forever (Psalm 142:7).

  • Praying Thanks for Freedom 

    Lord God, thank You for Your truth which sets me free (John 8:32).  Praises to Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood (Revelation 1:5).

    Jesus has set us free! Let us soar to new heights.

    The power of Your Gospel and the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus have set me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2) because everyone who has died has been freed from sin (Romans 6:7).  Hallelujah, I am free indeed (John 8:36). I can say with Job: “I am free and without sin, I am clean and free from guilt” (Job 33:9). My home is safe and free from fear (Job 21:9). I have been set free from sin and have now become a slave to righteousness (Romans 6:18). And since I am free from sin and have become a slave to You, my Lord and God, the benefits You promise will lead me to holiness, and the result is eternal life (Romans 6:22).

    Thank You, Gracious God.  You have given me total spiritual freedom whereas once I was bruised and scarred by sin, I am now free, enjoying Your healing and deliverance in every area of my life. 

    I agree that I must be careful that the exercise of my freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak (1 Corinthians 8:9). I must not use my freedom as a cover up for evil, but as a servant of God (1 Peter 2:16). We were called to be free, not to use our freedom to indulge the sinful nature; but rather to freely serve one another in love (Galatians 5:13).

    Where Your Spirit is, Lord, there is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17), and because this is true, I aim to habitually walk in the Spirit each step of the way. Lord God, please guide me to live by the Spirit and not gratify my sinful nature (Galatians 5:16).  Help me to yield myself more and more to the power of Your Sprit, Father.  Help me to crucify my flesh, O Lord, with all its affections and lusts, its passions and desires so I can live by and keep in step with Your Spirit at all times (Galatians 5:24-25). 

    Your Word states that the kind of fasting You have chosen is to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke (Isaiah 58:6). Your Spirit, O Lord Jesus, has been put upon me; You have anointed me to proclaim Your Gospel, to heal the brokenhearted, to minister Your deliverance for the captives and give sight for the blind.  Through the power of Your Spirit, Lord, I too will be able to lead others into freedom (Luke 4:18).  Thank You for full spiritual freedom, my Lord and my God.

  • Praying for Discernment

    Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your promise to instruct me and teach me the way in which I should go; that You will counsel me with Your eye upon me (Psalm 32:8).  Teach me Your ways so I may know You and continue to find favor with You (Exodus 33:13).  Give me an understanding heart that openly responds to the wisdom and direction I receive from You (1 Kings 3:9), so I can become responsive and obedient to all Your Will (Proverbs 3:1).

    Let us continually ask for discernment to know the path He wants us to take.

    Your Word tells us that if one rebukes a discerning man, he will gain knowledge (Proverbs 19:25), for knowledge comes easily to the discerning (Proverbs 14:6). I am Your servant; please, give me a discerning heart that I may understand Your statues (Psalm 119:125). For You, through Your Word, give wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning (Daniel 2:21).

    You promised to guide me in the way of wisdom, Lord, so when I walk, my steps will not be hampered; and when I run, I will not stumble.  My path will be clear, and open to me (Proverbs 4:11-12).  In turn, I promise to let my eyes look straight ahead with fixed purpose and to keep my gaze straight before me (Proverbs 4:25), looking to Jesus, the Author of all faith (Hebrews 12:2).  With Your wisdom beside me and Your Spirit leading me, I will consider well the path of my feet, and I will let all my ways be established and ordered aright. I will not swerve to the right or the left; I will keep my foot from evil (Proverbs 4:26-27). My faithful Father, when I should turn to the right or to the left, please cause my ears to hear a voice behind me saying, “this is the way; walk in it” (Isaiah 30:21). Please, guide me to follow Your paths.

    A wise man’s heart discerns both the proper time and the proper procedure; for there is a proper time and procedure for every matter (Ecclesiastes 8:5-6). You inform us that whoever keeps the law is a discerning son (Proverbs 28:7). Your Word promises me, Lord, that You always order the steps of a good person, and You delight in the way of a person who follows You (Psalm 37:23).  With all my heart, Father, I want to follow Your ways; to be the kind of person who brings joy and delight to Your heart (Psalm 149:4).  That I may walk, live and conduct myself in a manner worthy of You, Lord, fully pleasing You and desiring to please You in all things, steadily growing and increasing in Your knowledge (Colossians 1:10).

    Your Word tells me: One is mature who, by constant use, has trained himself to distinguish good from evil (Hebrews 5:14). Please teach me to discern between the righteous and the wicked, between the one who serves You and the one who does not (Malachi 3:18).

    I humbly ask that You always guide me with Your good judgment and teach me Your ways (Psalm 25:9).  O Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressor [the devil] (Psalm 27:11). Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemy — make straight Your way before me (Psalm 5:8). You are my God forever and ever.  Please be my guide even to the end (Psalm 48:14).  Cause me to know the way in which I should walk for to You I lift up my soul (Psalm 143:8). 

    Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; may Your good Spirit lead me on level ground (Psalm 143:10). You promised to guide me with Your counsel (Psalm 73:24); that everywhere Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast (Psalm 139:10); You will guide my feet into the path of peace (Luke 1:79).

    Jesus has been made unto me wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:30), and now I listen to Your Word, so I may add to my learning. This will develop a discerning heart in me that I may be guided by Your wisdom (Proverbs 1:5). Attend to my prayer, dearest Father, as I inclined my ear and my mind to Your Word (Proverbs 4:20).

  • Praying for Guidance

    Lord God, Your Word tells me to trust in You with all my heart and not lean on my own understanding. In all my ways I aim to acknowledge You, then You will make my paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6). You tell us that the mind of man can plan a course, but You direct his steps (Proverbs 16:9). O loving Lord, please direct my steps and lead me down the paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake (Psalm 23:3)

    God our Father promises to be a light to our path.

    Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105).  You are my lamp, O Lord; You turn my darkness into light (2 Samuel 22:29). Lord, You have brought light to my life. My God, You light up my darkness (Psalm 18:28). Please help me to understand that, because I am Yours, Light is shining in my darkness whether or not I can behold it or understand it.

    Your Word says: I am the Lord, your God, who teaches you for your benefit and profit, who leads you in the way you should go (Isaiah 48:17). For the sake of Your name, O Lord, lead me and guide me (Psalm 31:3). O Lord, please guide me continually, satisfy my soul in this parched land, and make fat my bones (strengthen my frame); and I shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring whose waters never run dry (Isaiah 58:11).

    You stated that in Your unfailing love You will lead the people You have redeemed. In Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling (Exodus 15:13). You have compassion for us, and so will guide us and lead us beside springs of water (Isaiah 49:10).

    You have given me the Holy Spirit to guide me into all truth (John 16:13).  Thank You for His guiding presence in my life. So, send forth Your light and Your truth, O Lord. Let them guide me; let them bring me to Your holy mountain, to the place where You dwell (Psalm 43:3).

    Give Your servant an understanding heart that I may always be able to discern between good and evil (1 Kings 3:9). So that I may be able to discern what is best, that I may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ’s return (Philippians 1:10).

    Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that the Holy Spirit clearly says in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons (1 Timothy 4:1). As the time of Your return approaches, there will be increasing deception and literally twisted doctrines taught by angels of darkness. Please develop a higher level of discernment in me, my Lord. Teach me to know truth so well that I will quickly recognize the most finely crafted lie. Help me never to abandon the faith to follow a lie.

  • Praying for Godly Wisdom

    Father, You said if anyone lacks wisdom, let that one ask of You, for You give to all men liberally, without finding fault, and it shall be given (James 1:5).  Therefore, I ask in faith – not doubting either that You are capable or that You are generous (James 1:6). I ask please to be filled with the knowledge of Your Will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding (Colossians 1:9).  Today I seek to incline my ear unto wisdom and apply my heart to understanding (Proverbs 2:2) so I might receive that which has been freely given to me (1 Corinthians 2:12).

    Many times, darkness surrounds us. Let us rely on God’s wisdom.

    Jesus has been made unto me wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:30), and in Him are all the treasures of divine wisdom – of comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God – and all the riches of spiritual knowledge and enlightenment are stored up and lie hidden in Him (Colossians 2:3). 

    Father, Your Word says that You shield those whose walk is blameless, that You guard the course of the just and protect the way of Your faithful ones. That then we will understand what is right and just and fair – every good path. Wisdom will enter our hearts, and knowledge will be pleasant to our souls (Proverbs 2:7-10). I thank You that, because of my faith, I have been justified and made righteousness in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21), and so I seek to walk in these paths of wisdom and knowledge. 

    I have been told, O God, that Your “Word is the best source to develop discernment”. By studying Your Word, I can attain skillful and Godly wisdom and instruction; I can discern and comprehend words of insight and understanding (Proverbs 1:2).  I can receive instruction in wise dealing and the discipline of wise thoughtfulness, righteousness, justice, and integrity (Proverbs 1:3).  Prudence, knowledge, discretion, and discernment can be mine (Proverbs 1:4).  I can increase in knowledge; and acquire skill and attain to sound counsel [so I may be able to steer my course rightly] (Proverbs 1:5).  I know that Your wisdom, O Lord, will keep, defend, and protect me (Proverbs 4:6).  Skillful and Godly wisdom is more precious than rubies; and nothing I can wish for is to be compared to it (Proverbs 3:15). 

    Father, in the name of Jesus, I look carefully to how I walk.  I want to live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as unwise and witless, but as a wise – sensible, intelligent person, making the very most of my time – buying up every opportunity (Ephesians 5:15-16). 

    Heavenly Father, You have promised to be my guide until I die (Psalm 48:14).  Lead me and guide me continually.  Guide me with Your counsel and make Your way straight in front of me; lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation (Psalm 25:5,9).  Father, I wait on You.

  • Praying Against Worldly Cares and Burdens

    Why are you cast down, O my soul?  Why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Put your hope in God! I will still praise Him, my Savior and my God (Psalm 42:5). 

    Many troubles always surround us, but God offers peace for the soul.

    Jesus, I come to You, because I labor and am heavy laden and over-burdened, and You cause me to rest – I know You will ease and relieve and refresh my soul (Matthew 11:28).  I willingly take Your yoke upon me, and I will learn of You, for You are gentle and humble in heart, and I will find rest – relief, ease, and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet – for my soul.  For Your yoke is wholesome, not harsh; and Your burden is light and easy to be borne (Matthew 11:29-30).  I cast my burden on You, Lord, trusting You to sustain me. I thank You that You will never allow me to be moved – made to slip, fall or fail – as long as I remain consistently righteous (Psalm 55:22).

    Father, You set Yourself against the proud and haughty; but give grace to the humble (James 4:6).  Your grace, O Lord, is truly enough in any situation, for any circumstance.  When I feel weak, I will be glad and glorify Your name, so the power of Christ Jesus, my Savior, will rest upon me (2 Corinthians 12:9).

    My Savior is Your Son who is also Your incarnate Word, and He is full of grace and truth (John 1:14).  Thank you for allowing me to receive of His fullness – grace for grace (Romans 3:24).  How thankful I am, Lord God, that I have been justified freely by the grace of Christ Jesus (Romans 5:16). With this gift of overflowing grace, I am able to reign in this life (Romans 5:17), that is, I am able to resist the evil and cling to the good.  I can overcome evil and conquer evil with good (Romans 12:21).

    Because of Your loving mercy and grace, Father, my peace is constantly being multiplied (2 Peter 1:2).  Thank You, O God, for the power of Your grace which always protects me (1 Peter 1:5).  I submit myself therefore to You, O God.  I resist the devil and he must flee from me (James 4:7).  I resist the cares of the world which try to pressure me daily, choking Your Word so I become unfruitful (Mark 4:19). 

    I know that except You, Lord, build the house, we labor in vain who try to build it by ourselves (Psalm 127:1). Therefore, I cease from the weariness and pain of human labor (Hebrews 4:10) and am zealous and exert myself and strive diligently to enter into the rest of God – to know and experience it for myself (Hebrews 4:11). 

    In the mighty name of Jesus, I withstand the devil.  I stand firm in my faith against his onsets – rooted, established, strong, immoveable, and determined (1 Peter 5:9).  I will be silent before You, Lord, and I will wait expectantly for You (Psalm 37:7).  I will not fret since it only causes harm (Palm 37:8), nor shall I let my heart be troubled, neither shall I let it be afraid (John 14:27).  In every circumstance and in every care, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, I will continue to make my requests and needs known to You, O Lord my God, who loves me (Philippians 4:6). And Your peace will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, my Savior (Philippians 4:7).

    Father, I thank You that Your presence goes with me, and that You give me rest (Exodus 33:14). 

  • Praying for Abundance

    My God, You are the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.  I recognize You to be the giver of every good and perfect gift (James 1:17).  I rejoice in the realization that You want me to enjoy Your abundant life in the here-and-now, that Jesus came to show me this abundant life You have to offer us (John 10:10). I will celebrate Your abundant goodness, O God, and joyfully sing of Your righteousness (Psalm 145:7).

    God promises abundance if we will but trust Him and follow His ways.

    Heavenly Father, Jesus came down to earth to teach me, to guide me, to be my Shepherd (John 10:11).  With Him as my Shepherd I have no more want (Psalm 23:1), because You crown the bounteous year with Your goodness and Your paths drip with abundance (Psalm 65:11). My gracious God, You declare that You will satisfy Your people with abundance and we will be filled with Your bounty (Jeremiah 31:14); that a faithful man will abound with blessings (Proverbs 28:20). Therefore, may all blessings come upon me and overtake me because I strive to obey the voice of the Lord my God (Deuteronomy 28:2).

    Thank You for all Your unsearchable riches that You invite us to share and enjoy (Proverbs 8:18).  I will serve You obediently, for then my days will end in prosperity and my years in happiness (Job 36:11). 

    I receive Your abundance, Father, as I claim Your promises for my own.  Thank You for giving me fullness (John 1:16) and abundance in every area of my life; that all I need to do is ask of You (Matthew 7:11). I will not fear for You have given me all that is in Your Kingdom (Luke 12:32).  Thank You for blessing me so abundantly.

    Because of Your protective care of me (1 Peter 5:7), O Lord, and Your gracious supply of all my needs (Philippians 4:19), I know I will live in a good land and lack nothing (Deuteronomy 8:9).  You are immeasurably great (1 Chronicles 29:11), and You are greatly to be praised (Psalm 48:1).  It is good to give thanks to the Lord and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High. To declare Your loving-kindness in the morning and Your faithfulness every night (Psalm 92:1-2).

    So, I praise You! I exalt Your name! Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You, O Lord my Redeemer. I will praise You as long as I live, and in Your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods, and with singing lips my mouth will praise You (Psalm 63:3-5).

  • Praying for Provision

    I confess with the psalmist that I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread (Psalm 37:25).  Father, thank You for food, clothing, and shelter that You faithfully supply.  In the name of Jesus, I have stopped being perpetually uneasy about my life – what I shall eat and what I shall drinking – or about my body – what I shall put on.  My life is greater in quality than food, and my body far above and more excellent than clothing (Matthew 6:25). 

    Let us trust in our Father for our daily sustenance, for He supplies richly.

    I will not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from Your mouth, my God (Matthew 4:4).  Your words were found and I did eat them, and Your Word was to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I bear Your name, O Lord my God (Jeremiah 15:16). 

    It is You, heavenly Father, who will liberally supply all my needs according to Your riches in glory through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).  You are Jehovah-Jireh, my Provider (Matthew 6:33).  You know exactly what I need, when I need it, and how my needs will best be met (Matthew 6:8).   

    Father, You told us: [Your] Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14).  Jesus, You are the bread of life (John 6:48) that gives me life, the Living Bread (John 6:51).  Thank You, Lord Jesus, for coming for me and bringing me life. Thank You, loving Father, for Your spiritual Bread – my manna from heaven.

    The bread of idleness, gossip, discontent, and self-pity I will not eat (Proverbs 31:27).  I do not let my heart be troubled. I will trust in God, I will also trust in my Lord Jesus (John 14:1). Whatever I do in word or deed, I will do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him (Colossians 3:17).

    I sow bountifully and so I reap bountifully. I give cheerfully and my God makes all grace flow to me in abundance, so that in all things at all times, having all sufficiency in all that is needed, I abound to every good work (2 Corinthians 9:6-8). My glorious and gracious Father, I pray this promise knowing You supply all my needs, and You want me to let the abundance overflow to others.

    Your Word tells us that when a man fears the Lord, You will instruct him in the way chosen for him; and he will spend his days in prosperity (Psalm 25:12-13).  I claim the promises of Your Word today by imitating the faith of those who were before me (Hebrews 6:12).  I believe Your Word (Hebrews 11:6), and I look forward to all You are going to do in my life (Philippians 1:6).

    I claim the promises of Your Word for me, my family, and our lives; that I can partake of Your divine nature. I take my stand upon the solid promises of Your Word, dearest Father (2 Peter 1:4).  Thank You for meeting my every need.

    God has put a hedge around me and my family, and my house, and everything I have and all I have inherited through His kindnesses. God blesses the work of my hands because I keep His commandments (Job 1:10). You are abundantly gracious to me, O Lord my God, and I do humbly thank You. You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every good and upright thing (Psalm 145:16).

    Great is Your faithfulness, O God my Father.  Morning by morning new mercies I see (Lamentations 3:23).
