Start Your Day With This Every Morning! Prayer Changes Your Day!

i have come to the realization [Music] that i need jesus i need him i need his love his mercy his presence i simply need jesus christ in my life i need him to preserve me i need him to provide for me and to protect me [Music] and my need for jesus christ is crystal clear there's no two ways about it i absolutely need the lord and i can say this now because once upon a time i tried to do things on my own i tried to fight battles with my own strength but i failed i've

tried to find my own way through life but i have gone round and round in circles every time i tried it every time i tried to take matters into my own hands i failed so now i know that i need jesus i know where i'm coming from when i say that i need the lord and part of this realization means that i know i can no longer be one foot in and one foot out i cannot be hot and cold in my pursuit of the lord and so my dear friends i want to encourage you

and tell you that you need to be all in for god this is no time to be half-hearted with your prayer life because listen the enemy is out there like a roaring lion he's out there seeking whom he may devour now our strength as children of god is found in prayer and we cannot afford to neglect our prayer lives this isn't the time to be consumed by thoughts of fear anxiety or worry this is not the time to be an unbelieving believer a halfway christian somebody who kinda sorta thinks they believe now i encourage you

to be all in for god this isn't the time to believe that jesus walked on water raised the dead heal the sick but then doubt that he can perform miracles in your own life too i believe this is a time a season for us to not just chase after god but to burn for him i believe that this is the time for us as children of god to burn with a pure and holy passion this is a time to wait upon the lord and renew our strength it is a time to mount up with wings

as eagles to run and not be weary to walk and not faint [Music] this is the time to be all in for god matthew 22 37 says and he said to him you shall love the lord your god with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind this should be our priority this should be our way of living [Music] now let us pray dear god your word says in deuteronomy 10 verse 12 and now israel what does the lord your god require of you but to fear the lord your god

to walk in all his ways to love him to serve the lord your god with all your heart and with all your soul father help me so that i may not have any fear in this world but rather may i only fear you my god i pray that i may walk in your ways [Music] help me to not walk in the counsel of the wicked nor to stand in the way of sinners nor to sit in the seat of the scornful lord i desire to be completely devoted to you to hunger and thirst for you

so i pray that you would remove everything that might hinder my growth remove everything that might hinder me from walking with you i pray that nothing would block me from chasing after you god father i ask that you would remove any hurdles from my past that may try and pull me back into a state of discouragement lord remove all past rejections all past failures past hurts anything that might hinder my walk with you help me lord as i hold on to your word that says i lift up my eyes to the heels from where does

my help come my help comes from the lord the lord who made heaven and earth my help to overcome adversity is found in you jesus my strength to conquer every demon and every obstacle is drawn from christ lord jesus i will forever stand on your word to claim to declare to pronounce and to speak victory before i can even see it your word is powerful and living if joy is absent in my heart then i look to your word which tells me that the joy of the lord will be my strength if there is unrest

in my mind if there is any hint of conflict or confusion i stand by your word which tells me that you are not the author of confusion but of peace my portion is to have a sound mind my portion is to be led to still waters so as long as i wait on you lord i believe that you will restore me from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet [Music] matthew 22 37 says you shall love the lord your god with all your heart with all your soul and with all your

mind this is the first and great commandment and the second is like it you shall love your neighbor as yourself lord give me a heart that obeys you transform this cold heart of flesh of mine and give me a new heart of faith a heart that is filled with your love and a deep hunger for you lord give me a heart that places you right at the center as king and lord of my life as king and lord of my soul and as king and lord of my mind your word in first peter 1 verse

13 says therefore gird up the loins of your mind be sober and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of jesus christ today i rest my hope fully on the grace that i have received from jesus christ [Music] amazing grace a grace that covers a multitude of sins [Music] i bless your name king jesus for listening to my prayer you are great and worthy to be praised [Music] in jesus name i pray amen and amen [Music] the bible says in first corinthians 11 verse 31 and

32. if we judged ourselves truly we would not be judged but when we are judged by the lord we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world have you ever judged yourself have you ever critiqued your own life have you ever honestly and objectively assessed does my faith please god am i a faithful believer to the lord do i seek first the kingdom of god am i really bearing good fruit you see self-reflection is important in every area of life and it's particularly important in a believer's life but the demands

of this life can keep us from self-reflection you see life has a way of pushing us forward by all its demands but it's so important for us to look into the mirror and hold up the standard which is the word of god and then compare ourselves and see how do we match up because if the bible says pray without ceasing but you can clearly see in your own life that you don't pray well then now you have something to go before god about now you have a prayer request which should be lord help me to

pray consistently do you see how self-reflection can help you god wants us to be real and honest and he wants us to look closely into that mirror from time to time and examine ourselves how's our character what's our lifestyle like are we living in a manner that is pleasing to god are we gaining victory over those private battles that we all face now here's why the word of god is powerful when you read it it acts like like a mirror and when you read god's word you need to be asking yourself is this real to

me am i living this truth in my life james chapter 1 verse 22 to 25 says but be doers of the word and not hearers only deceiving yourselves for if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror for he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like but the one who looks into the perfect law the law of liberty and perseveres being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts he will

be blessed in his doing the challenge is to be a doer of the word rather than just hearing about god's word saints when we go before god with a heart humbled and surrendered that's where transformation can take place in his presence it's a place where we can be honest about what we're lacking and where we need to improve now let us pray my heavenly father i come to you in the mighty name of jesus the one who i belong to and the one whom i serve i thank you for your word in psalms 100 verse

4 which says we enter into your gates with thanksgiving and into your courts with praise and so lord i say that you are worthy you are a holy god who is to be greatly praised lord i pray that i may continue to grow in faith may i continue to grow and find you king jesus to be the most trusted confidant may i find you to be a wonderful friend who sticks closer than a brother open my eyes lord so that i can be a believer who bears good fruit a believer who is discerning of anything

that is not from you help me to be a believer who testifies about your goodness at every given opportunity [Music] lord through your strength i pray that you would bring out the best in me not that i may be exalted but so that i may serve your kingdom and exalt your name bring out the best in me lord jesus so that i can fulfill my purpose in you and function as an effective christian i pray that my behavior and attitude may be that of a godly person your word says in psalms 111 verse 10 the

fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom all those who practice it have a good understanding his praise endures forever father i pray that the reverential fear of god in my life will cause me to be a blessing to others may the love of god bring out the good fruit of the spirit from within me according to galatians 5 and 22 so that i may be long-suffering so that i will be a person who is gentle and patient father work within me and purge my heart i pray that i may be a person who

is forgiving and because you have forgiven me help me to do the same to others help me to show love and kindness to others lord let it be easy for me to forgive when i am wronged or offended let it be easy for me to apologize when i need to let me be sincere in my actions and reflect if i have done wrong [Music] let it be easy for me to apologize when i am in the wrong drive away any foolishness or selfish tendencies within my life remove any characteristic from me that will cause me

to pull down my own house with either my actions or my words i pray that the holy spirit will instill wisdom in me give me a positive attitude and help me to grow maturity to grow godliness remove from me any characteristics or traits that might harm me as i develop as a christian i open myself up to the influence the leadership the guidance and correction of the holy spirit may the holy spirit lead me to repent and seek to live a life that is devoted and dedicated to jesus christ romans 12 3 says for by

the grace given to me i say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think but to think with sober judgment each according to the measure of faith that god has assigned help me to look at myself and examine my life point out the pride within me and help me get rid of it point out the anger in me lord and help me to get rid of it point out everything negative toxic or draining from within me remove all unclean things so that i can be a vessel that

you are pleased to use for your kingdom and lord jesus where i have failed you forgive me father i thank you for always being loving and kind to me and may all the glory and honor be given to you in jesus name i pray [Music] amen in this world today there is a spirit of fear that is prevalent you turn on the news and every day it seems like there's a new disaster all around us there are troubles there are problems there is poverty sickness there are so many things around us to cause us to

be fearful and it can be easy to get discouraged it can be easy to allow this spirit of fear to rule our lives but we don't have to give into fear isaiah 41 verse 10 says fear not for i am with you be not dismayed for i am your god i will strengthen you yes i will help you i will uphold you with my righteous right hand these are the sorts of scriptures that you and i need to dwell on in order to overcome fear in order to defeat this crippling spirit we children of god

need to feed our faith with the word of god we need to get so full up on the gospel that there is no room for fear the word of god says that i may know him and the power of his resurrection the more you know about the one you have believed in the more you are grounded and unshaken the less likely fear is going to overwhelm you that doesn't mean it won't attack you but if you're grounded and equipped with the word of god you will come to the understanding that the same power that same

power that resurrected jesus from the dead is also at your disposal because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world greater is he who is in you than fear we have a choice to fear or to have faith second corinthians chapter 1 verse 20 says for all the promises of god find their yes in him that is why it is through him that we utter our amen to god for his glory the lord keeps all his promises he is the only one who will never let us down he'll never

disappoint us or abandon us even on our darkest days even when we're faced with hardships that seem unbearable we can rest knowing that we are under his sovereign control our faith is not in this changing world our faith is in god in the midst of all this turmoil he is making all things work together for our good he is always working behind the scenes in ways that we might not yet recognize and that's why we can have hope that's why we don't have to despair when we face tribulation we can be confident that nothing on

heaven or in earth could separate us from the love of god now let us pray [Music] dear lord jesus i cannot see the future in its entirety i can only see what's right ahead of me but you lord you see it all past present and future are all in your hands and so i surrender to your plan for my life i pray that worry anxiety and fear will have no influence over my life nothing that is from the devil can overwhelm me in jesus name it's you lord who give me peace that surpasses all human

understanding or comprehension you lord enable me to live victoriously in a world full of chaos and madness although this world is full of conflicts it's filled with violence crime economic uncertainty and so many divisions i pray that you would help me to be fixated on the things above and not on the things on this earth help me to keep my focus on you to remain devoted to you to remain rooted and anchored in faith to you i bow my heart i surrender my will to you god a merciful and loving god i rebuke the spirit

of fear over my life the only spirit i welcome the only spirit i invite into my life and into my heart is the spirit of god the holy spirit so i say come holy spirit i invite you to move and fill me burn away any fear that is in my life i pray for a holy fire that cleanses a fire that burns everything that is not of you god a holy fire that refines all impurities a fire that melts all of the weapons formed by the devil and renders them in jesus name [Music] the bible

states that you lord have not given me a spirit of fear but of power love and a sound mind i declare in the name of jesus that the spirit of fear has been defeated in my life i rebuke fear and pray that it will have no impact over my thoughts or my emotions in jesus name through the power that's in the blood of jesus i speak with authority as a child of god and i say that the spirit of fear will not consume my heart in any way it will not trouble me in any form

or manner lord even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i will fear no evil for you are with me your rod and your staff they comfort me i pray and i declare that you lord jesus are my light and my salvation so whom shall i fear what shall i fear with you by my side you are the stronghold of my life so whom shall i be afraid of cast out fear from my life lord jesus i desire to experience the power of god i desire to experience the full and unfailing

love of god move in me holy spirit and displace every bit of fear in my life move in my heart holy spirit and fill me with your peace my home will not be a fearful home my heart will not be a fearful heart because my trust and protection is found in the god of abraham isaac and jacob i am confident because you lord have told me in your words saying be strong and courageous do not be afraid or terrified because of them for the lord your god goes with you he will never leave you nor

forsake you empower me lord jesus to stand strong and hold on to your word in psalm 118 verses 6 to 7 which says the lord is on my side i will not fear what can man do to me the lord is for me among those who help me therefore i shall see my desire on those who hate me blessed be your holy name lord jesus [Music] amen there are three reasons why i try to make prayer a priority each and every day the first reason why i try and make prayer in the morning a daily

activity is because it sets the tone for my day and do you know what that tone is it's putting my lord and savior jesus christ first normally the last thing you think about before you sleep and the very first thing you think about when you wake that is a great indication of what is closest to your heart and mind and so if the last thing i think about before i sleep is prayer and the first thing i think about in the morning is prayer then i know that i'm on the right track i am setting

my eyes on things above and not on things of this earth i am setting my eyes on jesus christ and not on any worldly things now the second reason why i try to make prayer a priority each and every morning is because i am human i get distracted i get preoccupied by things i get carried away at times and so if i don't fight to pray first thing in the morning then i risk being so fixated by the day's activities that i end up forgetting to pray or procrastinating and saying i'll pray later i'll pray

when i get home i'll pray before i sleep do you see what happens the day will go by and i wouldn't have been able to find a few moments to talk with god so this is why i have to make it a priority to pray each morning so that it doesn't become something i do begrudgingly or in a rush but rather i give god the best of me while i'm fresh in the morning [Music] and finally the third reason why i try to make prayer a priority each and every morning is because it's by the

grace of god that i am able to even see another day many people around the world went to bed the same night as i did but many people never woke up so if i don't at least take the time to say thank you lord i can feel the holy spirit tugging me in my spirit and asking me the question aren't you grateful aren't you grateful that god's mercy kept you throughout the night aren't you grateful that god's mercy woke you up with the strength in your body with sight in your eyes with limbs that function

aren't you grateful so saints it's not a cool thing for me to say i pray every morning it's not a status symbol about how spiritually sound i am no i prioritize daily prayer in the morning simply because there are too many reasons for me not to god's too good he's too loving and merciful for me to just start my day without even acknowledging his amazing grace and goodness [Music] now let us pray father you alone are worthy of my adoration each and every day give me a passion to seek you lord give me a passion

to hunt for your presence the last thought in my mind before i sleep should be you and let my first thoughts each and every morning be you i submit to you and align my spirit to your will and purpose for my life open my ears so that they will be sensitive and receptive to your voice lord i pray that your word would not depart from my mouth but instead i will read and meditate on it day and night so that i may be careful to do everything in accordance to your will [Music] may the holy

spirit help me to keep seeking things that are above where christ is seated at the right hand of god help me holy spirit to set my mind above and to keep focused on everything related to the kingdom of god help me not to conform to the things of this world help me not to be distracted by things that are on the earth which only have temporal value and for me to even do this lord i need your supernatural strength and so i declare that you lord jesus you are my source of strength that leads me

to overcome the devil you lord jesus are my source of strength that leads me to walk in victory you are my source of strength that leads me to defeat sin you have said in your word that in the last days you will pour out your spirit on all flesh and so i welcome you holy spirit i invite your presence to encamp around me and to fill me help me to realize the promises of god promises for peace that surpass human understanding promises of a sound mind promises of protection i pray that you would move with

me holy spirit walk with me and speak to me be the still small voice that guides me and leads me lord jesus you are ever faithful you are my hiding place at this present time i ask for your protection and covering over my life and over my family's life you are a god who is faithful to deliver those who trust in him i cast all of my cares and worries to you i surrender it all to you because you are a god who neither sleeps nor slumbers there is none like you father god i pray

that i may have a closer walk with you may i have a deeper relationship with you not only that lord but i pray that i may walk in the spirit so that i will not fulfill the work of the flesh i pray that i might walk by faith and not by sight my prayer lord is that i may live in a way that honors you that pleases you my hands are lifted and my heart is bowed and i say thank you for your grace and mercy give me peace lord even if there is chaos and

trouble all around me let my heart not be afraid for my god is a consuming fire let my heart not be afraid because greater is he who is in me than he who is in the world when life is turbulent my soul will not be shaken my soul will not be moved because my god is a waymaker i bless your name father for the grace and peace which you have multiplied in my life and over my family i am grateful for your love and grace which has transformed my life i only pray that my life

will be an example a living testimony of your grace mercy and favor thank you for your never ending mercy thank you for your amazing grace thank you for hearing my prayer i will trust in you and in your word forever lord in jesus name i pray [Music] amen i always used to think that when people said you have to be broken before god that meant that i had to have reached a serious breaking point in my life i thought brokenness meant you are so overwhelmed with your problems that you just have to go and cry

before the lord however i've come to understand that true brokenness is when you are convicted and repentant not because you want to escape hell not because you want your name to be in the book of life but you are convicted and repentant because you realize just how much the lord loves you and just how much your sin hurts him that's what i believe to be true brokenness [Music] true brokenness is going before god you go before him not just to admit your weakness but you realize just how dependent you are and should be in jesus

christ true brokenness is reaching a point where you say my lord my god i yield i am weak without you i have no strength without you jesus psalm 51 verse 17 says the sacrifices of god are a broken spirit a broken and contrite heart oh god you will not despise and my understanding of this verse is that when you go before the lord with a broken spirit when you offer him a surrendered heart that is the only sacrifice acceptable to god this is something that the lord loves and he will never despise a broken heart

and when the bible says a broken and contrite heart i believe this is a state whereby you see jesus christ for all of his love for all of his purity and you are so overwhelmed by it that you are broken with sorrow for the sin in your life a broken heart is a repentant heart a heart that has been convicted of its sin god loves those who come to him broken with the realization that they have sinned against an all-powerful all-merciful all-loving father god loves those who come to him broken with the realization that god

has been faithful to them he has been gracious to them he has been kind to them even while they were still in sin when you get to the point where your own sin and your own carnal ways cause you to be sorrowful because you have misused and abused the love of the lord well then my friends you have reached a true state of brokenness before the lord now let us pray lord jesus i praise and glorify your name lord i can't live this life on my own and i know that you never intended for me

to do so lord i need you in each and every way possible i ask that you would open my eyes to everything that is counterfeit in my life reveal to me those things that seek to give me counterfeit peace counterfeit joy and love lord please remove everything that seeks to give me temporary fulfillment only you offer real peace only you king jesus offer lasting joy and true love i pray father that i may not become complacent and comfortable to such an extent that i forget that your word says in matthew 16 verses 24 and 25

if anyone wishes to come after me he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me for whoever wishes to save his life will lose it but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it i pray that you would find me to be someone who is truly surrendered help me to deny myself teach me how to take up my cross may the holy spirit fill my heart with love may he convict me so that i will become a person who willingly gives their life for jesus your word says in matthew 6

verse 33 but seek ye first the kingdom of god and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you i will seek you first king jesus i will seek the kingdom of god and your righteousness lord give me the strength to deny myself remove all pride and selfishness from within me put me in a position of humility lord where i know that all i need is you hebrews 11 verse 6 says and without faith it is impossible to please him for whoever would draw near to god must believe that he exists and that

he rewards those who seek him father i want to live a life that is pleasing in your sight i want to live life as you intended for me i want to live this life walking by faith and not by sight so if my faith should be weak may you strengthen me if my faith should be shaken may you keep me steady i pray that you will strengthen my resolve to please you grant me faith like paul and silas that will cause me to praise you amid my tribulations give me the type of faith that thrives

during challenges i pray for the type of faith that overcomes all doubts and all fears your word in psalm 16 verse 8 says i have set the lord always before me because he is at my right hand i shall not be moved in other words this verse is saying i will always keep you in front of me king jesus with you by my side i cannot be moved as my lord and savior i will always keep my eyes on you i will look to you because you are shelter when i need refuge you offer supernatural

protection when i am in need of safety you are worthy to be praised and adored thank you lord for your sacrifice thank you for dying on the cross for me i know that i did nothing to deserve that kind of love i did nothing that could earn that kind of love but still you gave yourself from me and all i can do is thank you thank you and open my heart to you so that you can use me in your kingdom i thank you for listening to this prayer lord you are great and worthy to

be praised in jesus mighty name i pray amen grace grace to me is being gifted with something that you cannot earn or pay for grace is god giving us what we do not deserve and i wonder how many of us really understand the magnitude and wonder of god's grace his amazing grace the grace of the lord is something we should never take for granted and so beloved personally i think of his grace over my life his goodness and mercy all of which are totally undeserved but he still freely gives all i can say is thank

you lord jesus christ it's by his grace that i am here today it's by the grace of jesus christ that i am in good health i haven't done anything to deserve it i've done nothing to be worthy of such favor but in his mercy in his love and by his grace i have strength in my body i have breath in my lungs it's by god's grace that i am filled with joy and hope it's by god's grace that i have peace in my heart i am grateful to the lord because if it had not been

for his grace and mercy things could so easily have been tragic for me things could have so easily gone horribly wrong but in his goodness he made my crooked places straight he made a way for me when my back was against the wall i am amazed by the grace of god as i look back over my life as i look at some of the bad decisions i made some of the mistakes i made god held me and he kept me it's by his grace that nothing destroyed me it can only be his goodness that kept

me from losing my mind so allow me at this moment to just praise him equally as you listen can you honestly look back at your life and not praise him look at where he brought you from look at how many times he saved you look at all the times he forgave you we need to thank him and appreciate his goodness we all have a story we all have a past yet we all have been given amazing grace i believe that his grace should also be the reason we have boldness to proclaim the gospel to the

world the bible says in 2 timothy 1 verse 8 to 9 therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our lord nor of me his prisoner but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of god who saved us and called us to a holy calling not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace which he gave us in christ jesus before the ages began [Music] let us pray my dearest savior and lord the king of kings the lord of lords jesus christ i thank you for your grace your

amazing grace that has been so good to me your grace and love is what has kept me your grace toward me is unmerited i do not deserve it but yes you gave it to me you gave it to me in abundance and i thank you lord there is nothing that i could possibly do or offer to earn your love and favor but father you have been so kind to me you have been ever so faithful nonetheless your word says my grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness thank you lord

jesus because of your grace i lack for nothing because even when i am weak i am strong in you lord i stand on your word and hebrews 4 verse 16 a verse that says let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need may your grace and mercy continue to surround me and lead me [Music] it's by your grace lord that i am blessed when i come in and blessed when i go out so i ask that you may stand

with me and stand by my side lead me to walk with discernment and diligence in this world lead me to walk by faith and not by sight [Music] holy spirit please encircle me comfort me and hold me safe and secure in your arms help me to be bold if you are on my side then i can declare that i will not be crushed by fear and anxiety if you are with me then i can declare peace in my heart and mind [Music] i look to you as the rock of my life my fortress my strong

tower and my strength when i am weak you are a sovereign god who has charge over my life and you are a god who is faithful to deliver those who trust you your word says a thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand but it shall not come near you i believe this i believe that nothing no evil no darkness shall come near me because of you because of your amazing grace so i look to you a mighty god who moves mountains a god who breaks down every barrier a god

who can crush the devil and remove every obstacle in my life i have the confidence that if i remain in your presence you will help me to let go of all my worries and stress help me to let go of everything i cannot control i may be limited but you are not you are a god who is in control i believe in your word which says and my god will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in christ jesus i stand on your word that says surely your goodness and love will

follow me all the days of my life and i will dwell in the house of the lord forever thank you for the promises in your word promises that fill me with hope and remind me of your love the more i read your word the more my faith grows the more confidence i have the more strength i have to press forward [Music] isaiah 40 verse 31 says those who wait on the lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings like eagles they shall run and not be weary they shall walk and not faint

i pray that you renew my strength lord renew my faith and belief so that i might face today in the authority of your word you are all-powerful lord jesus and you are a god who will never leave us nor forsake us you are holy and worthy to be praised thank you for listening to my prayer in jesus name i pray amen [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you
