Would you be willing to write a prayer to help a friend?
Don’t you ever wonder what other people pray like? I know I do!
What if there was a place you could turn to have some extra prayers in your pocket? That is exactly what I would like to do.
- Prayer is a simple.
- Prayer is a conversation.
- Prayer is processing.
- Prayer is part of relationship.
Recently I heard that we need to be processing with God. Because I am a verbal processor it has always helped to process with people, bounce ideas off of them, get feedback and then come to a conclusion with confidence. My warning in this statement is that I have not always chosen the best people to process with and it usually leads to a bad conclusion or worse…judgement. So, process with someone who loves you unconditionally, won’t judge you, willing to have honest conversation and will lead you down the right path…oh only God can do that! So process with God.
To have a simple, honest, processing prayer time does not take hours on end or even a certain time of the day. I have found that having a few prayers on hand helps moves me toward a thought where I can process with God about a certain topic.
Here is a prayer from a friend about acceptance:
Heavenly Father, thank you so much for loving me. For forgiving me of my sins and my flaws. Thank you for allowing me to bring them to you. Lord, I’m struggling to accept my circumstances. I know you’re in charge of them but I want to fix and control my circumstances. I also know I’m failing at that control. Father, would you lay your hand on me to show me how to accept my stuff, no matter what, so that I can be in your will, so that I can learn to trust you with all of my life. Please help me to grow a bigger faith in you to allow acceptance to be second nature. Then I can testify to your glory and what an amazing God you are. Lord, I love you. I want to accept the things you do in my life, good and bad. Show me the way. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Would you offer a prayer for your sisters to help them process with God?

In times of distress, please remind me that ALL things work for my good … not just the things I like ((Romans 8:28). When I am anxious, please bring the birds and flowers to my mind (Philippians 4:6). Through trials, remind me that it is YOUR strength that will prevail (Joshua 1:9). In my weaknesses, your strength always shines through.

Lord, let me always begin the day praising your name. No matter the circumstances in the world, help me to remember you are on the THRONE. Let me be like Habakkuk 2:1, to stand my watch and see what amazing wonders you will do.

My favorite prayer lately has been Colossians 3:12-17. “Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your love and protection. Thank you for your patience with me! Thank you for loving me so much that you refuse to leave me in my sinfulness, but instead lovingly shine your light into my darkness… into the places I hide. You see my worries, those that trouble my heart, that pull my eyes from You and the peace that rests in You. Please forgive my tendencies to look to the world for answers that can only come from you. Help me keep my eyes on you always. Help me come to you first and always when I am worried. In Jesus name, Amen

Father, after the heartbreaking events in our nation’s capitol on Wednesday, I started to slip into depression. The enemy knows where we are vulnerable. Thank you for reminding me that I can choose to resist and fight back! Thank you for coming to my aid and helping me to be an overcomer! Lord, we need you like never before. Help us to keep our focus on You and to stand our ground! Be our Refuge and Fortress and make us Your mighty warriors! In the precious and powerful Name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, amen.
