Prayer of Hope

 Romans 15:13

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Lord God, I pray for the peace of Jerusalem, I pray for hope to spring eternally from the hearts of your people. Your people are the ones who believe in your Son, Jesus Christ. I pray that all that believe in you Jesus receive wisdom to interpret your word in the right way, according to the original meaning that you placed upon them when they were written down by your servants, the prophets.  I pray for deliverance from the evil influence that the devil and his demons have displayed in every area of our culture and our world.

I pray that your people will have a strong desire to read and understand your word, and for them to have a close and personal relationship with your Son, Jesus. This is the only way that they will truly understand His Grace and Mercy over their lives, and to know how much He loves them. 

Lord, I pray that your people rely more and more upon the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  I pray that they will seek His guidance for everyday problems, as well as the big problems, trials and tribulations of everyday life.

My Lord, help them to see the bigger picture,  that what they go through now will bring victory and Glory to your Name. We need to be encouraged by what we gain by being in your kingdom. We need to know that you are always here for us, and that we can give all of our pain, sufferings, fears and anxieties to you, now and forevermore…

Lord, I pray that you will help us settle in our hearts that everything we cannot fix belongs to you.  If we are offended by what others say and do, we will never show those people the love of Christ that exists in our hearts from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. We must choose not to be offended, and then allow the Holy Spirit to heal our hearts. We must let go of the need for revenge. It is your will that we be humble in your presence,  and to learn how to forgive ourselves and other people.

 These offenders do not know you God, so we must rely on your Grace and Mercy. We are the ones who should act  with kindness and compassion in every circumstance, because we are the only ones who can usher in the presence of God in every situation that You allow in our lives.

Help us Lord to live with your love in our hearts, let your peace reside in every place that we live, work and play.. The joy of the Lord is our strength, so let us be happy and content in your presence. 

Lord, I pray that your people have a strong desire to live for you, to put Your will first in their hearts. I pray for the Fear of God to manifest in all of our lives, so that we may live Holy lives dedicated to You.

 I pray that all believers will have a strong sense of what is right and what is wrong, so that they will have the strength and the authority to bring down strong delusions that try to manifest in our lives and in our communities.

I pray that your people understand that they are citizens of the Kingdom of God, and that our citizenship should be our primary concern - how we live, how we act, how we vote, and how we work should always come from following the One Who Saved Us.  What does the bible say about how we should live our lives? We need to pursue that knowledge and then live it out because of our love for our Lord Jesus Christ.

I pray for those who are suffering in the darkness of oppression and despair that a light be shined into their hearts and that they will come to know the real God that made them and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. I pray for those who live in the darkness and that thrive in the darkness be reconciled to the God that made them. You alone God can accomplish this.

I pay that hope springs into the hearts of every man, woman and child in the whole world, that everyone comes to the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, who was born long ago in a little town called Bethlehem, our God dressed in human flesh, who came to show us what God was like and to save us from all of our sins. I pray that His love would pour generously upon every land, nation and island, and that His love will change all of their hearts forevermore.

Let not one person say that they never knew that there was a God, let every heart be pierced by the love of Jesus Christ. Let every man and woman know what the peace of God is like, so that they may make a decision, to live for God or for themselves. I pray that every person knows what it is like to be in the comforting presence of a loving and caring God.

Let no man be able to say that He never ever experienced a season of love while they lived on the earth. Let it be so,,,, In Jesus Name,  AMEN
