Prayer for Relying on God rather than our own efforts
Psalm 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song will I praise him.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding.
There are so many Bible verses about trusting God and not relying on our own wisdom and understanding.
Yet, almost everyday we need to remind ourselves to include Jesus in our daily lives. We need to surrender everything we do to Jesus! He is our guide, our helper, our friend.
We love to feel in control, but we can only be at our best when we give it all to God. Trust God and just let go and let God!
Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, said the LORD of hosts.
Let us Pray.
Prayer: Reliance on God – written by Cher Yce
JEHOVAH SHAMMAH, none can compare to You, oh Precious King. Please FORGIVE my lack of faith. You who knows my heart, redeem and restore my faith in You. Often, I doubt You, Oh Father. But, when I put my FAITH and RELIANCE in You, Oh Lord, I eventually see the complete picture, in Your own and perfect timing.
I can always count on You
LOVING LORD, I put my reliance in You. I cry out to You, for my life is not going as I had planned. Refresh my spirit as You walk beside me.
Encourage me that I would never concede to the malicious and wicked plans of the enemy. Remind me that I can always count on You. Give me strength, for I am weak.
Dear Lord, this world is filled with such uncertainty. But I’m assured I can really and truly rely on God.
You are the never-changing, eternal, ever-present God, whose love NEVER fails. I can always place my confidence in You, for You will never leave nor forsake me.
Give us the courage to live boldly
Lord, You are GOOD and Your mercy endures forever. May I truly believe in Your presence in my life.
Change me, Oh God of my SALVATION. Work through me. In all circumstances, I will seek You as my first resort.
Today, give me the courage to live boldly, to stand firm in my convictions as I remain faithful to You in the midst of this evil world. In JESUS’ MIGHTY NAME I pray, Amen & Amen!
