Prayers of Adoration

Majestic God, Sovereign Lord

Majestic God, sovereign Lord, enthroned above the heavens, we come before you in awe and reverence. You are infinite in being and perfection, a most pure spirit, without body, parts, or passions, and yet you love us with an everlasting love. You are immutable, eternal, and incomprehensible, and yet you reveal yourself to us through your Word and your Son. You are almighty, most wise, most holy, most free, and yet you stoop down to lift up the lowly and the brokenhearted. You are most loving, gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin, and yet you hate all sin and will by no means clear the guilty.

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, you are the alone foundation of all being, of whom, through whom, and to whom, are all things. You have most sovereign dominion over all creation, and you work all things according to the counsel of your own immutable and most righteous will, for your own glory. You have all life, glory, goodness, blessedness, in and of yourself, and yet you manifest your own glory in, by, unto, and upon us, your creatures.

Lord, we praise you for your attributes of holiness, wisdom, and love. You are infinitely above us, and yet you condescend to us in Christ, revealing your glory and grace to us. We pray that you would make us more like you, that we may reflect your holiness, wisdom, and love to the world around us. Help us to worship you in spirit and in truth, and to serve you with our whole being. We pray in the name of Jesus, who is the radiance of your glory and the exact representation of your nature. Amen.

O Lord, I am a sinner, and I confess all my sins to You. I am guilty of breaking Your holy laws, and I am deserving of Your righteous wrath. I have sinned against You and against others in thought, word, and deed. I have not loved You with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength, nor have I loved my neighbor as myself.

I have sinned by coveting what belongs to others, by lying, by stealing, by dishonoring my parents, and by harboring anger, bitterness, and resentment in my heart.

O Lord my God, I come before you with a heavy heart, confessing my sins of omission. I have failed to do the good that I should have done, and I have not loved my neighbor as myself. I have sinned against You by not taking advantage of the opportunities You have given me to serve others.

Forgive me, O Lord, for the times when I have been selfish and failed to think of others. For the times when I have failed to show compassion to those who are hurting, or to extend a helping hand to those who are in need. For the times when I have been too busy with my own concerns to notice the needs of those around me.

Lord, I confess my sins of omission in my relationships with others. I have failed to be a good friend, a loving spouse, and a caring parent. I have neglected to pray for those in need, to visit the sick and imprisoned, and to share the good news of salvation with those who do not know You.

Lord, I come before You with a broken heart, knowing that I am undeserving of Your mercy and grace.

I ask that You forgive me and renew me by Your Holy Spirit, that I may be more like Christ and fulfill Your will for my life.

Help me, O Lord, to do the good that I should do, to love my neighbor as myself, and to serve You with all my heart. May Your grace and mercy be upon me, and may Your Holy Spirit guide me in all my ways. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, my Savior and Lord. Amen.

Confession for the Fear of Man

O Lord, my God, I come before you with a heavy heart, for I have sinned against you by fearing man more than I fear you. I confess that I have been more concerned with what others think of me than what you think of me. I have allowed the opinions of others to influence my actions and words, instead of seeking your guidance and obeying your commands.

Lord, I know that this fear of man is a sin that hinders my relationship with you and prevents me from fulfilling your purposes for my life. I have failed to do what I ought to do and have done what I ought not to do, all because I was afraid of what others would say or think of me.

I confess that I have often compromised my beliefs, values, and convictions in order to fit in and avoid rejection. I have been a people-pleaser, seeking the approval of others rather than seeking your approval. I have been silent when I should have spoken up, and I have spoken when I should have remained silent.

Lord, I am sorry for my sins of omission and commission, and I ask for your forgiveness. I pray that you would help me to overcome this fear of man, and to trust in you alone. Please give me the courage and strength to obey your commands, even when it is difficult or unpopular.

I know that your opinion of me is the only one that truly matters, and I desire to live my life in a way that pleases you. I pray that you would help me to focus on you, and to seek your will in all things. Please give me a heart that fears you more than man, and a mind that is set on you.

Lord, I thank you for your mercy and grace, and for the forgiveness that is found in Christ. I pray that you would continue to work in my life, and that I would grow in my faith and trust in you. May I never forget that you are with me always, and that I can trust in you for all things.

In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Scripture verse: "The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe." - Proverbs 29:25

A Broken and Contrite Heart

O Lord, my God, I come before You with a heart that is broken and contrite. I have sinned against You and have fallen short of Your glory. I confess my sins and ask for Your forgiveness.

Lord, I pray for healing from the wounds that my sins have caused. Heal me from the pain of guilt and shame. Heal me from the harm that my sins have caused to others. Heal me from the brokenness that has resulted from my rebellion against You.

I thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. I thank You for the mercy and grace that You have shown me, even though I am unworthy of Your love.

Lord, I ask for Your help in turning away from my sins and living a life that is pleasing to You. Give me the strength to resist temptation and to follow You with all my heart. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and renew a right spirit within me.

May my life be a living testimony to Your love and forgiveness, and may all that I do bring glory to Your name. I offer this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.

Scripture verse: "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise." - Psalm 51:17

Confession of Covetousness

Almighty and merciful God, I come before You with a heavy heart, confessing my sins of covetousness. I have not been content with the blessings You have bestowed upon me but have coveted the possessions and success of my neighbors. I have been envious of those who seem to have more than I do, and I have allowed this sin to fester in my heart and lead me astray from Your will.

Lord, I know that coveting is a sin against You and against my neighbor. I have not loved my neighbor as myself, but have sought to gain from them what is not rightfully mine. I have coveted their wealth, their status, their talents, and their relationships. I have not been satisfied with the life You have given me, but have instead focused on what I do not have.

Forgive me, O Lord, for the times I have coveted and coveted again. I confess that this sin has kept me from fully trusting in You and has caused me to doubt Your goodness and provision in my life. I acknowledge that all good things come from You, and that You alone can satisfy the deepest longings of my heart.

Help me to turn away from covetousness and to seek first Your kingdom and righteousness. Help me to be content with what I have and to use it for Your glory. Help me to love my neighbor as myself, to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep, and to be generous with the blessings You have given me.

Lord, I trust in Your mercy and grace to forgive me of my sins and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. I pray that You would renew my heart and transform my desires so that they align with Your will. May Your Holy Spirit guide me and empower me to walk in obedience to Your commands.

I pray all of this in the name of Your son, Jesus Christ, who lived a life of perfect obedience and who gave His life to redeem me from my sins. Amen.

Scripture Verse: "Do not covet your neighbor's house. Do not covet your neighbor's wife, his male or female slave, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor." - Exodus 20:17

Heal Me, O Lord

O Lord, my God, I come before You in need of Your healing touch. I have been wounded by the trials and hardships of this world, and I am in need of Your mercy and grace.

Lord, I pray that You would heal me from the physical and emotional pain that I am experiencing. Heal me from the wounds that have been inflicted upon me by others. Heal me from the scars of past hurts and disappointments.

I also pray for healing from the spiritual wounds that I have caused myself through my sins and rebellion against You. Forgive me for my transgressions, and heal me from the guilt and shame that I carry.

Lord, I know that You are the Great Physician, and that nothing is impossible for You. I pray that You would lay Your healing hands upon me and make me whole. Strengthen me to face the challenges of life, and help me to trust in Your goodness and faithfulness.

May my healing be a testimony to Your power and love, and may all that I do bring glory to Your name. I offer this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.

Scripture verse: "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." - Psalm 147:3

Prayers of Petitiion and Supplication

O God, Occupy My Heart

Almighty God, sovereign ruler over all creation, I come before you with a heart that longs to be fully occupied by you. Please take your rightful place on the throne of my heart and reign supreme. I confess that I have allowed other things to occupy my heart, things that have no lasting value and that have led me away from your perfect will.

Father, I ask that you lay low every rebel lust within me, every thought and desire that is not in alignment with your holy will. Take full possession of my heart and manifest your mighty power in me. I pray that you make me yours forever and that nothing will ever separate me from your love.

Lord, I recognize that you are worthy to be praised with my every breath, loved with every faculty of my soul, and served with every act of my life. You have loved me, espoused me, received me, purchased, washed, favored, clothed, and adorned me, even when I was worthless, vile, soiled, and polluted.

I was dead in my iniquities, with no eyes to see you, no ears to hear you, no taste to relish your joys, and no intelligence to know you. But your Spirit has quickened me, brought me into a new world as a new creature, given me spiritual perception, and opened your Word to me as light, guide, solace, and joy.

Your presence is a treasure of unending peace to me. No provocation can part me from your sympathy, for you have drawn me with cords of love and forgive me daily, hourly. Help me to walk worthy of your love, of my hopes, and my vocation. Keep me, for I cannot keep myself. Protect me from all evil, and let me lay aside every sin admired by many.

Lord, I long to walk by your side, to lean on your arm, to hold converse with you, that I may be salt of the earth and a blessing to all. Help me to seek first your kingdom and righteousness, that all other things may be added unto me. I pray this in the name of Jesus, who has made all of this possible. Amen.

We pray for revival in our churches, our communities, and our nation. We long to see Your glory manifested in our midst, and for Your name to be exalted in all the earth.

Lord, Use Us to Do Justice and Show Mercy

O Lord, our God, we come before You as members of Your Church, Your body on earth. We thank You for the great privilege of being called by Your name, and for the responsibility and joy of serving You and Your kingdom.

Lord, we confess that we have not always been faithful to Your call. We have been selfish and self-centered, focusing more on our own comfort and success than on the needs of those around us. We have failed to do justice and to show mercy, as You have commanded us.

May we be a people who stand up for the oppressed, who defend the vulnerable, and who work for the flourishing of all people. May we be salt and light in a world that is broken and hurting, pointing the way to Your kingdom and Your righteousness.

Lord, we know that we cannot do this on our own strength. We need Your power and guidance every step of the way. May Your Holy Spirit empower us to be Your witnesses in the world, to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with You.

May Your kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We offer this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

We have been bombarded by the messages of this world, by the secularism and the media, by the subtle indoctrination of ideas that are not from You. We have been caught up in foolish controversies and tribalism, and we have fallen prey to psychological warfare that seeks to destroy our faith in You.

Father, we confess our sins and pray for Your deliverance. We ask that You would open our eyes to the lies that we have believed and the ways in which we have been deceived. We ask that You would give us discernment to distinguish between truth and falsehood, between Your ways and the ways of the world.

We pray that You would protect us from the influences of hollow and deceptive philosophy, and that You would help us to resist the temptations to conform to the patterns of this world. We pray that You would renew our minds and transform us by the power of Your Holy Spirit, that we might be conformed to the image of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

Lord, we know that Your Word is truth and that Your ways are higher than our ways. Help us to cling to Your promises and to trust in You alone, even when the world around us seems to be falling apart. Give us the courage to stand firm in our faith and to speak truth in love, even when it is unpopular or difficult.

We ask for Your protection and deliverance from the subtle and insidious ways of this world. May our hearts and minds be guarded by Your truth and may we be filled with the knowledge of Your will. We pray all these things in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who alone is the way, the truth, and the life. Amen.

Deliver Us from Evil

We ask You to cover us with the blood of Jesus, that we may be protected from all evil and danger. We ask You to bind up the powers of darkness and to cast them out from our midst. We ask You to grant us discernment and wisdom, that we may recognize the schemes of the enemy and resist them with faith and courage.

Deliver us from all fear and anxiety, from all temptation and sin, and from all sickness and disease. Grant us Your peace and Your joy, that we may walk in the light of Your presence and glorify Your holy name. We ask this in the name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Amen.

O Lord, my God, you are the source of all wisdom and understanding. Your ways are perfect, and your thoughts are higher than mine. I come before you today, seeking the knowledge of your will for my life.

Lord, I confess that at times I have been confused and uncertain about the direction of my life. I have sought after my own desires and have not always trusted in your plan for me. I pray for your forgiveness and ask that you would help me to surrender my will to yours.

Lord, you have promised to guide and direct your children. You have promised that you will never leave us nor forsake us. Help me to trust in these promises and to rest in the assurance of your love.

Teach me, O Lord, to discern your will for my life. Give me wisdom and understanding that I may know the path that you have set before me. Help me to walk in your truth and to follow your leading.

Unite my heart, O Lord, that I may fear your name. Give me a heart that desires to please you above all else. Help me to be faithful in all that you have called me to do.

Lord, I pray for the strength and perseverance to continue on the path that you have set before me. When the way is difficult and the road is long, give me the courage to press on. Help me to be faithful and obedient, even when it is hard.

Thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness and love. Thank you for the promise that you will lead me and guide me all the days of my life. Help me to trust in you and to follow your ways always. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Teach Me Your Indicatives, O Lord

"Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law." - Psalm 119:18

O Lord, my God, who am I that you should reveal to me the mysteries of your law? I am unworthy to receive such knowledge, and yet, you have promised to open my eyes to understand the wonders of your Word. You have declared in Psalm 119 that your commands are grounded in the indicatives of your grace. Help me to see this truth and to understand it deeply.

Teach me, O Lord, that your law is a reflection of your character, and that your commands are rooted in your love for me. Help me to see that your precepts are not a burden, but rather a delight, as they show me the way of righteousness and lead me to you. Help me to understand that obedience is not a means of earning your favor, but a response of gratitude for the salvation that you have freely given me.

O Lord, I confess that I have often neglected your Word and failed to seek your guidance in my life. I have been quick to rely on my own understanding and have been blinded by my own pride. But now, I come to you with a humble heart, asking you to grant me wisdom and understanding. I long to know you more deeply and to walk in the path of your commands.

Help me, O Lord, to meditate on your Word day and night, and to hide it in my heart so that I might not sin against you. Give me a hunger for your Word and a thirst for righteousness. May your Word be a lamp to my feet and a light to my path, guiding me in the way of truth.

As I study your Word, help me to see the beauty of your grace and the depth of your love. May your indicatives of grace be written on my heart, so that I might obey your commands with joy and thanksgiving. May my life be a reflection of your character and a testimony to your goodness.

In the name of Jesus Christ, who is the Word made flesh, I pray. Amen.

Scripture Verse: "Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day." - Psalm 119:97

Scripture Verse: "For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified... 'I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.'" - Hebrews 10:14, 17

Hope in the Resurrection

O Lord God Almighty, we come before you humbly and with grateful hearts, acknowledging that we are but dust and that our lives are fleeting. We confess that we have sinned against you and that we carry within us the weight of our transgressions. Yet, we look to you in hope and faith, knowing that you are the God who raises the dead and gives life to the mortal body through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to fix our eyes on him, the author and perfecter of our faith, who endured the cross, despising its shame, and has now sat down at your right hand. May his resurrection be a constant reminder to us that death has been defeated and that we too will be raised to eternal life. Grant us strength and courage to persevere in the face of trials and to live lives that are pleasing to you, knowing that our labor in the Lord is not in vain. We ask all of this in the name of our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Scripture Verse: "But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep." - 1 Corinthians 15:20

Longing for Our Final Home

O Lord, as we journey through this life, we long for our final home in the new earth! We eagerly anticipate the day when we will see your face and be in your presence forever! We cannot help but weep tears of joy as we think of the day when we will be reunited with our loved ones who have gone before us and experience the indescribable joy of the beatific vision! Oh, what bliss it will be to see you as you are and to be completely transformed in your presence! We thank you for the promise of our future resurrection and the end of all suffering, tears, and death. Come quickly, Lord Jesus!

We yearn for the time of the fulfillment of Your promise of our future resurrection and the assurance that we will be with you for all eternity. We know that there will be no more tears, suffering, or death in our final home, and we rejoice in the hope that this brings us.

As we prepare for our final home, help us to fix our eyes on you and to live our lives with the knowledge that this world is not our ultimate home. Give us the strength to endure the trials and difficulties of this life with the hope of our future glory in you.

We pray that you would make us ready for that great day, and that our hearts would be filled with joy at the thought of being with you forever. May we be faithful servants, using the time and resources you have given us to bring glory to your name.

Thank you, Lord, for the promise of our final home in the new earth, and for the certainty that we will be with you for all eternity. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Scripture: "But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city." - Hebrews 11:16
