God's Call To Pray
Father, thank you for calling me to a life of prayer, despite my resistance. Thank you that you know the desire of my heart and the weaknesses of my body. Thank you that you never give up praying for me and calling me to join you.
Thank you for facing the battle for my sin with courage, honesty and grace. Thank you for pouring out your heart and for humbly asking for prayer. Forgive me that I, like the disciples, do not always respond. Yet you died and rose again for me!
Thank you Jesus for breaking through on my behalf and overcoming in the battle for my soul. Thank you for your salvation and for your call to partner with you in prayer. Empower me to break through to the place, where in my weakness, I am afraid to go in prayer, for and with others. Come Holy Spirit.
Amen

Kingdom Partnership
Father God, forgive me for trying to control you to do my will and build my kingdom. I trust alone in personal Jesus who laid down His life for me that I might live.
I accept your commission to enter into partnership with you, to see your kingdom come and your will be done. I accept the call to battle in prayer and with others to fight against the enemy of my soul and for the life and freedom of others.
Thank you for the truth that because Christ has overcome, I will overcome with Him. Protect me in your armour and give me courage to speak your words to those caught up in a spiritual battle.

The Cry of the Heart
Father, thank you for your gracious compassion to hear the cry of my heart. Help me to come to you with all of my emotions before anyone else. Thank you that you rule over my emotions and that you give grace to help in my time of need.
Help me to move from fear to faith and to trust in you as the rock that is higher than I. Help me to close the back release valve of toxic thinking and to choose to be refreshed by your life in me every day.

Life Changing Power
Father, thank you that you know me better than I know myself. You created me in my mother’s womb and I am on your mind. You know all the self-comfort idols in my life that I run to when I am hurt and wounded. Today, Father, I choose you. I choose you over hate and resentment, bitterness and revenge.
I come to you with all of my raw emotions and pain. I come to you with my grievances and my grief. Search me God and know my heart. Test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting. Heal me and change me every day as I choose to come to you. In Jesus name, I pray.
