Prayer is not simply a time to make requests to God but to worship and honor Him in Spirit and truth. Prayer allows us to abide in the presence of God and be made strong in the Spirit. I implore you to use these prayers to deny your flesh & submit every part of yourself to God. May you remain in Him.
Matthew 6:41, John 15:1-8
Prayer for Divine Inspiration
Lord, I pray that you pour out a spirit of divine inspiration over your writers, singers, musicians, and creatives. May we hear the words you've spoken to us and create something that will glorify and edify your kingdom. May we continually pursue You, our Creator. I pray that You increase our creative capacity and strengthen our spirits.

Prayer for Grief
Lord, I pray for those that have been grieving. Even as loss and sadness feels abundant, I pray that Your peace and comfort be even more so. I pray that You envelop Your children in Your peace and love. Be ever near to the broken-hearted and Your presence more tangible than ever. Thank you for being ever-present and for always listening.
Prayer for Your Mind
Lord, I pray that you guide my mind with your peace. I pray that you renew my mind continually and that I set my mind on things above. I pray that I take every one of my thoughts captive and make it obedient to you.
Prayer for Your Eyes
Lord, I pray that you clear my eyes so that my body may be full of your light. May my eyes be enlightened to know the hope of your calling for me. May me gaze be on you. I pray that I never rush to pick out the speck in my brother's eye before removing the log in my own.
Prayer for Your Ears
I pray that I use my ears to truly hear your voice. May I listen intently & be obedient to your instruction. I pray that through hearing from you, my faith will be continually increased. When I hear your voice, I pray that I follow you, no questions asked.
Prayer for Your Mouth
Because there is power of life & death in the tongue, I pray that only words of life flow from my mouth. I pray that my heart will be full of your love, light, & the fruits of the spirit so that my mouth will follow suit. I pray that you use my mouth to build up others according to their needs & for their benefit. May our mouths repay every evil with blessings & speak soothingly, rather than perversely. I pray that I am quick to listen and slow to use my mouth to speak.
Prayer for Your Heart
Lord, I pray that you guard my heart against any and everything that is not of you. I pray that you continually search my heart and mind. Show me my sinfulness and make me new as I repent & surrender to you. I pray that you create in me a clean heart & renew a steadfast spirit in me. I pray that I trust in you with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding. I pray that my treasure rests in you so that my heart may reside there also. I pray that your words and commands be bound on my fingers and written on the tablet of my heart.
Prayer for Your Hands
Lord, may my hands be lifted up to you in praise and worship. I pray that you establish the work of my hands and I do nothing by my own power and might. I pray that my hands (nor my eyes) never cause me to sin, lest they be cut away. May I have clean hands and a pure heart.
Prayer for Your Feet
May I acknowledge you, God, in all my ways so you will make my paths straight. Make my feet like that of a deer so you will always be sovereign over me & I will live in faith. May my feet be made beautiful by your good news. As we share the good news about you, may we shake the dust off our feet when faced with opposition. I pray your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
Prayer for Your Spirit
Lord, I pray that I am covered in the full armor of God daily! The belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, & the sword of the Spirit.
