I pray that the Holy Spirit would lead and guide in all things, and that I would learn to listen to the gentle promptings of His voice, as I read Your Word or commune with You in prayer.

Give me grace to recognise His still small voice as I search though the scriptures each day, and furnish me with the wisdom I need to discern Your spiritual nudges, through godly Christians, who may be prompted to offer direction or give me advice.

May I maintain an open heart and develop a teachable spirit, and I pray that may I walk in Your ways and live a life that is well pleasing to You, and which glorifies my Father in heaven. I ask this in Jesus' name,

Rekindle the smoking embers of my faith and hope, my trust and obedience, I pray.

Prayer For A Spiritual Awakening In Me

Heavenly Father, forgive me for the time I have spent far away from You, and become preoccupied with in my own wants, needs and necessities. Forgive me for the times that I have only sought You out, when I have had a problem or discovered a need.

Thank You, Father, for being faithful and always listening to my prayers, even on those occasions when I know I was not being faithful to You.

Thank You, Father, that You remain faithful to Your Word and to Your children, for which I praise and worship you. Renew my spirit within me I pray. Revitalize my trust and faith in You, so that I may serve You as You deserve, in humility of heart and willing obedience. May the living waters of life revive my dry and dusty soul, and plant me again I pray, beside Your still waters and the refreshing fountain.

Rekindle within a spark of wonder of Who You are and light up a flame of love in my heart that has become dim and flickering, because You are my God, Who has redeemed my life from the pit and set my feet on the rock of my salvation. Rescue me I pray, from the parched wilderness and dryness of spirit, into which I have wandered and lead me along the path that You would have me to go.

Awaken within me that spiritual fervor that only comes from You so that may I live from this day forward preoccupied with things that delight Your heart and will forward Your plans and purposes in my life and the lives of those around me. I ask this in Jesus' name, Amen

Prayer For The Spirit’s Fruit Of Patience

Thank You, Father, that for most of my life You have been teaching me the principle of waiting, and I pray that You would continue to do so. O Lord, so many times in my life, I have asked that in Your grace You would equip me with a gentle, God-like patience, that does not seek to hurry up the process of Your spiritual harvest,  but waits for the planted seed to germinate and to grow.

And yet, I continue to recognize within myself an impatience to see Your work completed. Thank You for the Biblical picture in the Word of God, where the farmer waits patiently and yet expectantly for the seed to sprout and swell, as the early and latter rains fall in their appointed season and as the sun shines its warming rays over the dormant crops.

Help me more and more to apply this patient expectation to my own life, where hope does not die and where forbearance does not deteriorate into despair.

Keep me I pray from giving up, but endow me my Father, with patient endurance and a passive yielding to Your prefect will, in every part of my life.

May I be content to say Thy will be done, and whether or not You choose to reveal the final answer to my persevering prayer, I pray that I may rest content, knowing that You do all things well. I ask this in the name of Jesus, and to His glory,

Amen.

Thank You for His ongoing work within each one of our lives, and thank You that He has quickened us from the dead, established us in Christ, sealed us in Him, placed us into His body and is skilfully building us up as living stones into a holy temple in the Lord.

Thank You, Father, that Your Spirit teaches us all things, guides us into all truth, is able to purify our hearts and cleanses our minds, when we hand every thought captive to Him, in willing surrender.

Lord, I thank You that no matter what difficulties and dangers flood our hearts and invade our lives, there is nothing that can separate us from Your love and grace.

Give us I pray, that sufficient strength that You have promised to all your children who are facing problems and danger, and let us never forget that greater is He that is indwelling each of Your children than the enemy that is in the world. Endue us with spiritual strength and fortitude as we face the future, strong in the knowledge that we have a heavenly home, secured for us in heaven. In Jesus' name,

Amen.

Prayer To Walk In The Spirit

Father God, my delight is to do Your will and I pray that I may learn to walk by means of the spirit, more and more with every passing day. Your Word assures us that if we walk in the spirit, we will not fulfil the lust of the flesh, and will be walking according to the will of the Father and living in prefect submission to the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Keep me I pray looking to Jesus, walking in spirit and truth and trusting You with my whole heart. I pray that in all things I would seek Your face, listen to Your gentle promptings and respond to Your still small voice of conscience. Help me to live a godly life, where I esteem others as better than myself.

Keep me from engaging in any form of conflict, but rather may I exhibit an attitude of grace and forbearance, that only comes from You.

Teach me day by day to walk in the spirit, to live in the spirit and to pray in spirit and truth. Use me dear Lord, as You will, in the furtherance of Your kingdom, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.
