“I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O God; Incline Your ear to me and hear my speech” – Psalm 17:6
KJV
A prayer in the most basic sense is a conversation with God. As believers, we are called to cast all our cares upon Him, to abide in Him and to trust wholeheartedly in Him because He is our strength, our shield & buckler; our very closest friend. Throughout the Bible, we have many examples of heartfelt petitions made to Our Heavenly Father. Enoch walked with God, daily communing with Him. Abraham spoke daily with God, as a friend to a friend. The Psalms are littered with prayers from David, a man after God’s own heart. For these patriarchs, prayer was not a chore or something they had to do, it was as necessary to them as their every breath. Martin Luther said, “to be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing”.
“In the morning, prayer is the key that opens to us the treasures of God’s mercies and blessings; in the evening, it is the key that shuts us up under his protection and safeguard.” – Billy Graham.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 tells us to pray ceaselessly. This doesn’t mean that we must always be on our knees in prayer, but rather to always have a prayer on our lips. In fact, there are many different postures you can adopt when you pray (such as: standing, prostrate, head bowed, hands lifted, laying down, etc); the important thing to always remember is that it is more important to position your heart and your spirit rather than your body when you pray.
Prayer is a way of life that we all should aspire to. As we endeavour to grow on our journey with Jesus, we pray this is a safe corner that we can pray for and with each other and grow together.
Featured Prayers
Peace
Loving Jesus, the Peacekeeper, The Great Prince of Peace, at my lowest moments when I am drowning in negative thoughts help me to remember who and whose I am. Forgive me for being the weapon of choice for the enemy to use against me. Help me to hold steadfast to your promises of peace. Give me the boldness to step out as You call me. Purify my thoughts and cause me to fix my mind heavenward as I claim your promises and walk in faith. Amen.
Overthinking
Loving God, I thank you for the presence of Your Holy Spirit and the truth in Your Holy Scriptures that serve to remind me that I am a child of a King. Though I fall prey to negative thoughts and overthinking, help me to use the truth to chase away the lies that seek to take root in my mind. Forgive me for doubting Your Word in times past, forgive me for worrying when you’ve clearly stated and proven that You’re in control. Help me to stand on Your word always and to freely cry out to you for help in times of struggle. Lord I believe, help thou mine unbelief. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Transformation
‘Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me” – Psalm 51:10.
KJV
Dear Jesus, the spotless Lamb of Calvary, I come seeking cleansing from the Fountain of Life. Unworthy, unclean though I be O Lord, I come knowing you alone are able to cleanse. Wash me with hyssop O God and purify me of my evil ways. Remove from me this heart of stone & give me the heart of flesh that you promised. Transform my hearts and my thoughts, imbue me with a mind like yours. Keep ever before me the Cross of Calvary and fill me with your light.

I declare that every stronghold and every chain in my life is broken. Father, I declare freedom from fear by the blood of Jesus. Amen
Protection from sickness and diseases
Loving God, I pray a spirit of exclusion over my family. No disease shall come upon any of us in the name of Jesus. With our God-given authority over the earth, we tear down every altar of the enemy and cancel every assignment of the devil in Jesus name. We will not be afraid for you have not given us a spirit of fear declares your word. We will walk boldly declaring your name that is above every name, at the sound of which, we will watch the darkness flee. Sickness, disease, fear, panic and anxiety will have no hold on us. Nothing will harm us, I declare in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Dream Attacks
Father God, I break every evil covenant and renounce any attachment to my destiny that seeks to bring death, destruction, or hardship. I reject and divorce myself from any plans of the enemy that may have been revealed in my dreams. I declare your authority over my life and trust in your protection.
Lord, I ask for your discernment to recognize any subtle snares or schemes of the enemy. Grant me wisdom to navigate through any spiritual attacks and to stand firm in your truth. Strengthen my faith and shield me with your divine armor against all powers of darkness.
I surrender every fear, doubt, and anxiety into your hands, knowing that you are my refuge and strength. Thank you, Lord, for your unwavering love and faithfulness. May your peace reign in my heart, and may your will be done in my life. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
