Prayers to be in the will of God

Prayer To Always Do God’s Will

Dear Lord, I believe that You uphold the creation by the strength of Your mighty power and Your great wisdom, and that in Your Word You have laid out all that we need to live godly lives that are pleasing to You.
 
I desire to do Your will oh God, and I pray that I may serve You in the manner that You require. Lord, in humility of heart I admit that I can do nothing of myself, but only as You give me Your sufficient grace, Your wisdom and Your strength.
 
Help me I pray, to live each day of my life in holiness and righteousness, in humility of heart and with self-control. Help me to walk in spirit and in truth and to do only those things that I have heard from You, through the Word of God and the gentle promptings of Your Holy Spirit in my inner soul.
 
May I look to You and not to the ways of the world. May I grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus, and may I apply myself diligently to pursue You greater plans and purpose in my life, willingly accepting correction, eager to forgive others and enjoying sweet fellowship with You day by day. This I ask in Jesus' name,
 
Amen.

Prayer To Do God’s Will

Heavenly Father, it is my desire to do Your will in my life and I have been praying how I may find out how to know what Your will is, so that I can do Your will in my life. Thank You, Lord, for sending me to 1 Thessalonians chapter five, where I see that You have clearly laid out exactly what Your will for each one of us is.
 
Help me to walk in spirit and truth and encourage my brothers and sisters in the faith. Help me to esteem others as better than myself and support them in love.
 
Help me I pray, to encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone, always return good for evil and seek after that which is good and lovely and pleasing in Your sight.
 
Most of all I pray that I develop a heart of ready rejoicing and an attitude of continuous prayer and praise. And give me the ability to be thankful in all things, even those times that prove to be the most difficult and frustrating. Help me to grow in grace and in a knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ and mature in the faith, knowing that this is Your will for my life. Praise Your holy name.
 
Amen.

Prayer To Know The Will Of God

Lord, at times I just wish that You would send me a letter or call me on the telephone and let me know with clarity what Your will is for my life, so that I may fulfil all the plans that You have purposed for me.
 
Help me to lay aside my own personal preferences and learn to say, "Thy will be done." Equip me I pray, to recognise Your gentle promptings and the wise counsel that is hidden in Your Word, and keep me from being swayed by my own fleshly inclinations.
 
Tenderise my heart so that I am able to discern the nudges and tugs from the Holy Spirit and give me wisdom to make godly choices as I patiently wait for Your designated time.
 
Lord, although it would be amazing to have a letter or call from You, I do recognise that we are to live this life by faith and not by sight or sound, visions or dreams, so help me to keep my focus on the Lord Jesus, knowing that the closer I draw to Him, the more I will forget myself and my own desires, and the more I will discover Who You are and What You desire of me. This I ask in Jesus' name,
 
Amen.

Lead Me Today

“O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder …” the song writer expressed what the Psalmist also expressed when he considered Thy great creation.

Help me, O God, to see and know and understand that You created all things and that I am a part of that which You created. Help me to know that I am safe with You but without You, I am in constant danger both in this world and the world to come.

Lead me today, beside the still waters. Give me a thirst for the Living Water that I may drink and be satisfied.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Make Me Sensitive To Your Voice

O God, I have been in such a hurry to get, I don’t know where. It seems everybody else is in a hurry to get somewhere and I hurry also but I tend to lose my sense of direction in my haste.

As the disciples came to Jesus and asked Him, “Teach us how to pray”, so I come, O Lord, asking to be taught how to pray and what to pray for.

Lord, calm my hurried heart and make me sensitive to Your voice. I do not ask that You speak audibly. It would frighten me if you did. I do humbly pray that You will tune my spirit to You so that I may be able to discern the voice of Your Spirit. Help me to stop in my hurried life and sit quietly at Your feet, becoming sensitive to Your voice.

In Jesus’ name I pray,

Amen.

May I Find God's Plan For My Life

Heavenly Lord, I so desire to do Your will and to find the plan You have for my life. I know Lord, that You have scheduled every day of my life and I do believe that the right path is already laid out for me, but I am not sure which door to push on or which path the follow.
 
I ask You to give me wisdom to discern what You would have me to do and I pray that the Holy Spirit would be my guide, to direct me where I ought to go. I truly want to be open to Your plans and purposes and I also want to wait for Your timing and not try to superimpose my own will over Your perfect will for me, but Lord, I do ask that I will soon find Your plan for my life.
 
Give me patience to wait for Your time, wisdom to know what to do and humility to seek only Your will and not mine. Lord, give me readiness to hear You still small voice above my own impulsive heart. Into Your hands I now commit my future and thank You Lord, for I know that You have promised to guide me every step of the way. In Jesus' name I pray,
 
Amen
