A "Willing Spirit, Empowerment" Prayer (3.25.20)

An excerpt taken from "A 21 Day In-Depth Devotional
- Day 15: O Lord You Are My Strength"

Brothers & Sisters,
Before you begin this prayer today, please consider sitting quietly before the Lord. Ask Our Father to give you a “willing spirit” — willing to repent, to change, to listen, to obey.
Father God, 
Thank You for the promise of Your Word, that those who hope in You will renew their strength.

You alone are the source of all strength, for You are the Ruler of all things; and in Your Hands are the strength and power to exalt - and to give Your Strength to me.

Father God, I humbly ask You to Strengthen me to stand firm, to stand for righteousness, to stand for Your Kingdom!  Like Daniel, may my life be characterized by integrity and “above-reproach conduct.” Even in the midst of injustice, may I be one who turns to You in worship and thanksgiving.

May I always run toward You and not grow weary.

Empower me Father, I pray - to walk and not faint.

Help me to fear not nor to be dismayed, regardless of the situations that I am in, or the condition of the world around me — for You are GOD; and You hold all things together.

Hold me together, I pray!

Strengthen me and help me — uphold me with Your Righteous Right Hand and with Your Power, through Your Holy Spirit and in my inner being, so that Your Son, Jesus Christ, may dwell in my heart in all of His Fullness. 
Have mercy on me, Father and help me to lean on You.  Help me to find my strength in You alone, for my spirit is willing but too often, my flesh is so weak; and I confess to You, Lord, those time when I am overcome with the weakness of my faith and flesh . . .

O Lord, have mercy on me!
Have mercy on the undisciplined use of my mind . . . Renew and strengthen my mind by Your Word!

Have mercy on the sin that I yet hold on to . . . Wash me and cleanse me!
Father, increase my faith.

Destroy doubt and unbelief in my heart and mind; and empower me to live boldly. May the sphere of influence in which You’ve planted in me, resonate with the praise of Your Holy Name; and may the imprint of Your Son, Jesus Christ, be left on all that I touch. For Your Name and Your Renown, are the desires of my heart.

In Your Son, Jesus’ powerful Name, I pray,


Amen
