Prayers from the Scriptures
Our God is great and He does miracles that are great. He is the source of all blessings and all goodness. He is the one who opens heavens. He is the one who blesses and is the true source of blessings. Let us personalize these truths by praying the Scriptures:
Psalm 79:11
Father God, you are the one who does wonders. You are the only one who can bless each person and bless them forever. Father, today we pray for life. “Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die.” Lord, we pray for your people who are in physical or spiritual prisons.
Psalms 80:3, 17–19
O Lord God, true source of blessings, shine forth in our lives. You that dwell between the cherubim, Father God, we pray that you shine forth. “Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved . . . Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.”
Psalms 81:10; 84:4
Father God, your Word says, “I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.” Father, you will not ask us to open our mouths wide, except you have purposed to feed us. Lord, give us the grace to open our mouths wide in prayer to you. You will feed us, for Jehovah you are the Most High over all the earth. “Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee.” Father God, we give you glory and honour. We pray that you give us the grace to praise you, our God, with all our heart. Give us the grace to glorify your name forevermore, for great is your mercy towards us.
Psalm 86:12-14
Father, you are the only one who can deliver our souls. Deliver us from the lowest hell, O Lord God. Show us favour so that those who hate us may see it and be ashamed, because you have helped and comforted us. O living God, in your mercy and in your love, give us the grace to praise you for you are greatly to be feared in the assemblies of the saints and to be heard in reverence of all them that are about you. For Lord God, you are a great God and a great King above all other gods. Give us the grace to bless you, O Lord our God. Let all that is within us bless your holy name, for you are a great God.
1 Chronicles 17:27
Father God, no other blessings can last, except the true blessings that you give. Father, pour into our lives these blessings that can only come from you, O Lord. The organizations and systems in which we are working are not our source of blessings. You, God Almighty, are the source of our blessings, and you send systems and people to release those blessings to us. You send blessings to us through people who are your treasurers who store and disburse your blessings to us. Father God Almighty, give us the grace to be conscious of the truth that you are the true source of blessing.
Prayer Points:
Living God, bless us indeed and pour your mercies and blessings upon our lives in the name of Jesus.
If you have never at any time given your life to Jesus, pray along with me and say, “Father, I ask that you wash me clean so that I may receive the blessings of God in my life. Become Lord and Saviour of my life today. Write my name in the book of life in Jesus’ name.” Amen.
