Dear Heavenly Father
“In the sweat of your face shall you eat bread…” (Gen 3:19).
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the Throne of Grace, that we may obtain Mercy, and find Grace to help in time of need” (Heb 4:16). “Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all things shall be added unto you” (Matt. 6:33). “No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame…” (Psa. 25:3). “Blessed be God, which has not turned away my prayer, nor his Mercy from me” (Psa 66:20). “And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto you; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what You will” (Mar 14:36).
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come to your Throne of Mercy to rejoice in you, to express my love and devotion to you while continually praising your Holy and Mighty Name.
I come to you, in Jesus Mighty Name, seeking a special grace, a special favor and I pray for a special intention (work, money, etc…) and I know I can’t force your hand, but please hear and answer me in Christ Our Lord … Amen.
Lord Jesus … I renew today my trust in you and in your providence and in the Father’s will for me because you are my Shepherd, I shall not want, because your Goodness, Mercy, provision of Health, Happiness and Prosperity shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall not want (Psa 23). I believe with all my heart your words that “all things are possible for those who believe” (Mar 9:23) and I believe in your Goodness and Loving-kindness.
I declare that because You are with me, I can do whatever I will … because it is right, I can … Because I have decided, I can … Because I think it is possible, I can … Because of You, I have faith in myself … I rely on myself because I rely on You and I am strong enough to accomplish everything because with You at my side, I shout with confidence … I can.
All work is your Work, I am Your servant, I am the instrument through which your Work will be done, I can do your Work because You have told me it is your Work … Lead me to your Work, and I will put my hand, my head and my heart to it … Because you are helping me … I cannot fail … Because it is your Work that I am doing, I will … Because I know it is right, I will … Because I am doing it in your Name, I will.
“For your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him” (Matt 6:8).I trust your Word that You know before hand our needs. In your parables of the lilies of the field and the birds of the air (Luk 12:22-24 & 27-31) and when you instructed your disciple St. Peter to take the tax-money from the mouth of the fish (Matt 17:27), you taught me to rely on your providence to supply our earthly needs as I rely on and seek your promise to help.
Lord Jesus… Do your work …your way … and it will be done satisfactorily to me … You are my supply … My supply is endless … Money needs me … You are infinite so is my supply … All things belong to you and I am your child, a part of you … then all things belong to me … I want nothing … I need nothing … I possess everything for I possess faith in You … By possessing faith in You, I possess everything.
Lord Jesus … I am ready to receive your blessings because I believe in your Goodness and Promise, and in Your Name, I consider it done … Amen.
