All-wise Heavenly Father, I come in Jesus’ Name to thank You for the encouragement You give in Your Word for the times when I forget that You are in control of my past, present, and future. You have designed all situations to prosper me even before they happen. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope” Jeremiah 29:11.
Forgive me for the times I have been foolish by not giving control to You, the life-giver and master of my destiny, and for the times I have not looked to You for sustenance and guidance. You know me and my situation better than I ever could. You told Jeremiah in Jeremiah 1:5, “‘before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.’” I know the same principles hold true in my life: before I existed, You knew me and had a plan for me.
I ask You to take control of my life, and the lives of my family, friends, and other Christians. I pray Paul’s prayer in Colossians 1:9-12 for all of the people just mentioned. “For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.”
Thank you that I can come to You in Jesus’ Name and ask You to take hold of every facet of my life, transforming me to be more like Christ. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
P.S. These prayers will only work if you have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. If you need help understanding God’s plan of salvation for you (the way to Heaven), go to this page on our site: https://timewithourcreator.com/2016/06/02/salvation/
