140 Prayers in the Past Week
- By Leyna Phan
Sunday - Heal me, O God, from my sins and heal me from my burdens to follow the world. I should be following you instead of my heart. Teach me your way, so that I may learn to be more patient. Heal me, O God, from being blind and from being too full of pride. Don't leave me, and heal me, O God, from my secret pain.
Monday - Forgive me, O God, for blaming things on You when I'm angry, and for not realizing how precious every second of my life is. Forgive me for turning away from You and ignoring the plans You have for me. God, I'm sorry for thinking what i knew was the truth, when it was not. Forgive me, O God, for not taking a stand and professing my faith. I want to give my life up, so that I can live the life Jesus did. Forgive me for not acknowleding Your love, and for not seeing Your mercies through my many trials. You gave me more than just a heart, You gave me breath - through You I breathe and i want to live for Your glory.
Tuesday - Be with me, O God, when my heart hardens and I need to hear Your voice. Be with me when I'm broken and make me whole again. Know the intentions of my heart, put together again what has been ripped into pieces. Be with me, O God, when I'm crying and it feels like there's no way out, when the world makes it impossible to worship your name, when I slip, run out of money, or can't find my purpose.... O God, pick me up and be with me. Only You can renew me, heal me, and change me. I ask that through this prayer I find You and that after You will always be with me.
Wednesday - Surround me, O God, when I'm lonely, wounded, or angry. May I be calm whenever I read Your Word. May the Holy Spirit live around me, and surround me when I need it. Father, you've never left my side, and U ask that You forgive me for ever doubting that You cared. Surround me, O God, when I'm down, or when i need a helping hand. Surround me and give my life meaning when I walk out of church. Give me the life where I'd walk back the week to come. God...everything You do expresses Your love and shows Your character. I mean it when I say you are a great God. You never lack understanding and You always provide me comfort. Lord, one day I will write a song just for You!
Thursday - Stay close to me, O God, when i travel far and I'm not heard from. Father, be the voice I hear, be the One I hold dear to my heart. Be number one in my life, in everything I do. Strengthen my faith and reassemble my courage, so that i may be another brave disciple winning souls for You. Compile Your knowledge within me, so that I may spread it to those who need and search for You. Give me the heart to be patient and not angry. I want to accept everything that You are because You accepted me.
Friday - Guide me, O God, away from the destruction and the insecurities of the world. Be with me through all the sufferings shared and expressed in life. Guide me, O God, and light up the path you want me to walk and guide me when I get lost. Take me and make me a disciple of Christ. Guide me, O God, away from all the distractions that take up the space meant for You and see to it that I become more like Christ. You're the one important and meaningful thing in my life and I love you.
Saturday - Bless me, O God, with Your love and mercies. Father, be the light upon my path, be the steps I take and the air I breathe. Bless me, O God, with the ability to glorify You, and the knowledge to know You completely. Surround me God, work in my heart, and shape my mind to be more like Christ. Make my will a will unbreakable to those who deny You and give me the experiences to inspire others. Bless me, O God, though I have hardships, Father, I know that You'll always be there. Bless me, O God, with your unconditional love and forgiveness. Thank you for life, O God.
