National Day of Prayer

Dear Father,
Please allow Your nature to flow through all of us. We are in need of your love and mercy. I ask that you allow us to be more God-seeking than self-seeking so that others want to join your Kingdom. Please help us use our gifts and abilities to introduce your loving kindness to those who are living in silent desperation. Please help us to tune in to all those souls around us who need you! We need you every hour and every minute of our existence on Earth. We love you Holy Father! Everything we ask is in the name of Jesus who gave His life for us. Amen!
Love,
Blanca

Prayer of love for Jesus!

Dear Lord,
I am not who I was and I'm so glad my child sees the change in my life! Thank you for rescuing me from living a life of silent desperation. Please give eachperson who reads this message an extraspecial dose of your power especially if they know You by the Book or if they don't know you. Never allow me to leave your side dearest Father.

Love you forever,
Blanca

Prayer for those serving God

Dear Father,
Thank you for the privilege of knowing my Pastor (or missionary, etc). I am asking You to please strengthen, protect and bless her as she moves to her next ministry assignment. Thank you for giving her the personal peace that only You can give as she starts on this new journey.You have given her a new boldness and courage as she embarks on the next phase of her life in service to You. She has left a beautiful footprint in our hearts. Take care of her, Beloved God. Let her remember that her Church family will always love her. I pray this in the powerful name of your son, Jesus Christ. Amen!
Love you Lord!

Prayers when you feel fear

When I start to feel the fear:
1. Father I remember what you have done in my life so far
2. I remember your character – You are faithful when I call you!
3. I remember your promises; help me wait on your timing
4. I remember your actions; You fed thousands with seven loaves of bread and a few fish (Mark 8:1-9) ; You raised people from the dead (think Lazarus) and cured countless others (Mark 6:53-50).
You still performs miracles!
I will not be fearful, I will not go on my feelings. I will base my life on your promises. Love you Lord,

Prayer for graduation

Dearest Father,
Today I thank you for the way you’ve always held my child in your arms even when I was a looney tune. I ask you to do the same for all graduates who are stepping into the next phase of their lives. Please guide them to make wise choices. I also ask that you give all of us – the parents – the wisdom to let our children go and to trust You to guide their paths. Thank you for giving me the privilege of being mom to such a neat person! I love you!

Prayer encouraging service to others

Beloved Father,
I thank you for this message because ultimately you care enough about us to ask us to take the next step in serving others. Thank you for helping us move past ourselves and I appreciate that you are kind about it. I ask that you touch each person who reads this message with your loving and healing touch. You are so powerful yet so loving. I can’t imagine my life before I felt your presence. Thank you for wiping my tears and helping me move past myself so I can be powerful in your name. Love you Lord!Always, Blanca

Prayer for empty nesters

Dear Father,
Thank you for giving me the knowledge and the courage to understand my journey and how it impacts others! Even though my heart is sad that my child will be leaving to start her college life, I have a huge ministry to handle for you! You have been preparing me for the next phase of my life. Thank you for helping me through the sadness. I do feel your big God hugs, and through tears I praise You and ask You to strengthen me and anyone else who is grieving. I’m glad I know that it’s not about me! Love you Lord!

Power of Prayer - James 5:13-15

The Power of Prayer
13 Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. 14 Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgive.
James 5:13-15

Prayers for Healing

Dear Father,
I come to you on behalf of my family, friends and the people who read this note to ask for your tender touch in healing their needs – whatever they are. Some of us need physical or emotional healing; others may be dealing with loneliness, financial, addiction, work or marriage stresses. Whatever the need is Beloved Lord, I ask that you allow us to open our hearts to You and ask for help. For so many years I couldn’t believe that You cared – but you do! You are so powerful, so real and so wonderful! Thank you for the honor of calling you Father! I ask for healing and endurance for everyone who calls on the powerful name of Jesus. I love you Lord. Thank you so much.

Prayer for strength

Dear Father,
I lift up your precious daughter. You know her heart and you understand exactly what she's dealing with. I ask for your peace, comfort and strength for her during this season in her life. Please make your presence known to her dear Father, so that she can hang on to your promises. Let her remember that sunny days are ahead and help her endure her burden. I humbly ask this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ who is real and who lives! Love you Lord.
