And this is the confidence that we have before him: that whenever we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, then we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him.

Weary

Father, I know that you will not be deceived. You will not be made a fool. For I will reap what I sow. If I sow to my own flesh I will reap corruption from my flesh, but if I sow to the Spirit I will reap eternal life from the Spirit. So protect me from growing weary in doing good, for in due time I will reap, if I do not give up. So then, whenever I have an opportunity, let me do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the family of faith. In Jesus name, Amen.

Harvest

Father, make the doing of your will and the completing of your work my only true need. Open my eyes to the fields of souls that are already ripe for harvest. Move me to gather fruit for eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who reaps can rejoice together. Amen.

If

Father, remind me that if I speak in tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast, but do not have love, I receive no benefit. Thank you for the capacity to give and receive love. Amen.

Accused

Father, remind me that even when I'm minding my own business and doing my work, a false testimony is nearby. It can grab me as I flee from it. It can be used against me without cause. But you show your servant kindness. You grant me favor in the sight of the warden. You are with me and make whatever I am doing successful. Amen.

Follower

Father, remind me that if I want to become a follower of Jesus, I must deny myself, take up my cross, and follow Him. To save my life I must lose it, but to lose my life for His sake and for the gospel, I will save it. For what benefit is it for me to gain the whole world, yet forfeit my life? What can I give in exchange for my life? For if I am ashamed of Him and His words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of me when he comes in the your glory with the holy angels. Help me be a true follower of my King. Amen.

Petition

Father, I will shout for joy over your victory; I will rejoice in the name of my God! May you grant all my requests! With every prayer and petition, remind me to pray at all times in the Spirit, being alert, with all perseverance and requests for all the saints. If it is your will give me the message when I begin to speak, that I may confidently make known the mystery of the gospel. I pray that I may be able to speak boldly as I ought to speak. Amen.

Deliverance

O Lord, may you hear my prayer and be favorably disposed to me! O God, because of your great loyal love, answer me with your faithful deliverance! Rescue me from the mud! Don’t let me sink!Deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep water! Don’t let the current overpower me! Don’t let the deep swallow me up! Don’t let the pit devour me! Answer me, O Lord, for your loyal love is good! Because of your great compassion, turn toward me! Do not ignore your servant, for I am in trouble! Answer me right away! Come near me and redeem me! I sing praises to your name!

Flattery

Father, remind me to cut out all flattery and boasting from my speech and that, in the end, a reproof finds more favor than a flattering word. Keep me from the smooth talk and flattery of those who would decieve the mind of the naive. The grace of my Lord Jesus is with me. Amen.

Payoff

Father, remind me that the reward for humility and fearing you is riches and honor and life. Let me not count the guilty innocent for a payoff, ingnoring the just cause of the innocent. So what benefit did I then reap from those things that I am now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death. But now, freed from sin and enslaved to you, I have my benefit leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life. For the payoff of sin is death, but the your gift is eternal life in Christ Jesus my Lord. Amen.

Broken

Father, remind me that the sacrifice you desire is a humble spirit, a humble and repentant heart you will not reject. Teach me to control my temper lest I become like a city that is broken down and without a wall. You are the one who saved me and called me with a holy calling, not based on my works but on your own purpose and grace, granted to me in Christ Jesus before time began, but now made visible through the appearing of my Savior Christ Jesus. He has broken the power of death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel! Amen.

Secure

Father, bring me the peace found inside your defenses and the prosperity found inside your fortresses. Remind me to listen to you so that I will be at ease from the dread of harm. I long to be in a secure place where I find safety in the rocky mountain strongholds and food and a constant supply of water. In you I find this place. Amen.

Destroy

Father, though the wicked prepare to persuade me, I will concentrate on your rules. Remind me that even my friends can do me harm, but there is a Friend who sticks closer than a brother. A Friend that has come so that I may have life, and may have it abundantly. Since your child is made of flesh and blood , He likewise shared in my humanity, so that through death, He could destroy the one who holds the power of death (that is, the devil), and set me free, whom was held in slavery all my life by fear of death. To Him be the glory and honor and majesty! Amen.

Thanksgiving

Father, I thank you for allowing me to address the creator of the universe personally. I shout out praise to the you! Your provision has always met my needs. No sacrifice I could offer would be enough thanks for what has been given me. Let my life song be a thanksgiving offering to the King. I shout out in celebration of your perfect nature. Praise be to the name of the God most high. Your glory is evident in the grace you freely offer your child. Let my mercy reflect the mercy that has been shown your servant. Keep me from foolishness, anxiousness and greed. Let my petition be after I have given you the thanks you deserve. Let your truth reign in the place of the justice this world has to offer. Peace is found in thanksgiving to the God of the universe. Joy is the reward of the thankful. Your consolation restores my soul. In the powerful name of my Lord and Saviour Jesus, Messiah. Amen!

Temptation

Father, give me today my daily bread, and forgive me for my sins, for I will try to forgive everyone who sins against me, and do not lead me into temptation, but deliver me from the evil one. Help me to stay awake and pray that I will not fall into temptation. My spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak. I have longed to be rich and stumbled into temptation and a trap and many senseless and harmful desires that plunged me into ruin and destruction. Thank you for pulling me out of the mire. In Jesus' name, Amen.
