Personal Prayers

Prayer of Faith

Prayer of Faith

O! God of Israel, My Savior whom you truly reveal yourself for penitents and hides from the proud, I need your presence in my life now more than ever. You have been my shore when I was in storm. You have been my rest in the past when I astray and wonder away from you. You were the true quencher of my thirst in life. But that seems to be all far gone now. Now why do I feel that I am all abandoned? Why don’t I feel the presence and love of my Savior? Why do I feel I am distant from you my Father? I know it’s because I allowed sin to cover the sight of my inner soul. I permitted my guilt to hinder Your work of grace. Now the devil wants me to lose faith not only in You but in myself. But You my anchor, please remind myself that You love me for Your name sake. Give me faith to realize that You welcomed me because I am Your child bought by Your blood. I pray that the Holy Spirit to tell my wretched soul that she is worthy of Your grace. My unlimited sin even won’t reach to the scale of love that You have for my soul. My Father, tell this broken soul to have faith and patience that one day she sees the utmost love You have for her. How You like her. How You adore her. How You would give up anything for her even the ninety nines that you have. Tell that from the filth of sin You would enjoy to clean and wash her. With cloth of mercy You would delight to comfort her. Tell her that you would nourish her with not only perishable food but Your everlasting body. Like a lamp that almost depleted its oil my faith is fainting. If I have faith like the mustard seed I would’ve moved the mountain of unbelief from my life. But Lord as the sick child’s father on Mark 9:24 said, “Help my unbelief”. Help my unbelief in Your deliverance and help me to have faith that I still am loved by You. . In Christ Jesus our Lord name, with the intercession of Your Mother Holy Virgin Mary, with the prayer of Angeles, saints, martyrs and the righteous, Amen.

Prayer of Strength

Prayer of Strength

My Heavenly Father and my Lord I failed in front of Your Holy eyes. You created me in a way that You created no other creatures. Your hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments (Psalm 119) but I failed. Even after You come to save me in flesh I failed You. After You grant me everything I wished in life, I again failed. I failed to see You but You crafted eyes on me; I failed to hear Your voice though Your Holy hands made my ears. I failed to welcome You in my heart and soul yet you breathed that soul within me. Every morning though You eagerly wait of my return and every night You hope for my repentance. But because of this corrupted filthy flesh I ignore you. Saint Paul asked the Galatians who bewitched them not to see who He evidently set forth, crucified among them (Gal 3). I am far worse than them for I see your miraculous works in me but still ignore them. Please Father give me strength to take of the blindfold of distraction from my eyes to see you. I am like that Canaanite women who implored you to heal her daughter in Matthew 15:22. I beg of Your crumb of forgiveness which I am evidently not worthy of. Don’t ignore Your surrendered child. There is no other who will pick me up from my darkest pit. I am sick like the one who was paralyzed and was on bed for 38 years. Let Your words strength my joints so I can get up from the bed of sin. Give me strength so that I don’t lose hope. The devil is telling me that I am an abandoned child; he is whispering on my ears that my sins made me unacceptable in front of Your eyes. Yes I am a sinner who betrayed my Father but give me strength that I believe that You never left me. I made your temple a den of thieves. Give me strength to cast out the sins that corrupted my flesh so that you will dwell in me.

Prayer of Wisdom

Prayer of Wisdom

My Lord, You have said through the wise king, king Solomon “the beginning of wisdom is the fear of You”. And I say I am deprived of such wisdom for I don’t give you the glory and honor that You are due. I would invest my time, money and energy to acquire worldly wisdom but when it comes to Your words I say to myself that I don’t have time. I pray to You heavenly Lord to open my eyes to see that your wisdom is eternal not this worlds. Your wisdom seems foolish for the world. The way of life that Your begotten Son taught us might sound unrealistic where I live in. But for a wise person who foresee the eternal price your wisdom is life. Your Son is wisdom. Even though I occasionally read the bible, comprehending it is tough or even more applying it in my life. But with your grace I can understand it and live by it. Out of all help me to stay humble of any wisdom that you reveal to me and always I pray that you remind me of the source of this wisdom. And that is You my Lord. Again I beg you to bestow me the wisdom to assert your will from the worldly attraction. You said “wisdom is proved right by her deeds” Matthew 11:19 Therefore also grant me the will and energy to act upon the wisdom that you provided for us through your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.

PRAYER FOR PEACE

PRAYER FOR PEACE

My Lord and my God, who created me from dust and bestowed upon me your heavenly grace of being Your child, I exalt you for everything you have done for me. You didn’t judge me base on my silly and destructive actions; rather you pulled me toward you gently. You advised me to stay away from my unrighteousness for you know the result of all my emotional decisions to abandon You. However knowing your words and hearing your warnings, I still chose to be immersed in lustful life. As a result I have no piece on my conscious. As King David said “My sins are always before me” Psalm 50, my mind continuously rebukes me of what I have done. My soul became unrested for I have rebelled against you. Who would have a peace within unless you are with him? Who would be still in turbulence unless you are that persons resting shore? I have searched and tried worldly answer for my emptiness. But that will never give me an absolute peace. In John 14 you mentioned that you leave your peace with us. And that Your peace is unlike the peace of the world. It cannot be bought by worldly price. It cannot be brought to existence by negotiation or trickery. Your peace is unconditional and Your peace is eternal. Your peace in not emotional but even within struggle it is abundance and fulfilling. Your peace is not situational but only can be received through humble prayer. Leave your peace in me God! so that I won’t fail into despair. Unless a person doesn’t have peace within him, he would by no means have the ability to generate peace in the world. Your peace is what makes the martyrs to be still in front of a sword. Your peace is what enabled the apostles to continue preaching even in persecution. You are the King of peace and you are the source of peace. Grant me Your peace my Lord so that I will overflow Your peace for others.

Prayer of Hope

Prayer of Hope

Dear Lord- I pray for perfect hope.  I am the Prodigal son who has strayed from your warmth (Luke 15).  And the devil wants to lose hope in You and myself. He tells me there is no deliverance for you. After all how I betrayed you, I agree I don’t deserve your acceptance. But You, without demanding anything from me, You gave up Your life for my pitiful way of living. Jeremiah said on his lamentation “The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young.” Lamentations 3:26 Therefore help me to wait hopefully for Your deliverance.  You are a faithful God, and although my circumstance may seem bleak, I ask you to renew my hope and wait for You to guide me into righteous life.  I face a tremendous amount of trials and tribulations.  Sometimes I do not even know how I can look forward to a better tomorrow.  But I hold onto Your word which says, “rejoice in hope… be constant in prayer.” (Romans 12:12) My Lord- at times I rely on all the wrong solutions to my tribulations and hope to get happiness and satisfaction. I look to a sinful lifestyle to fill the void of my loneliness.  I gossip and insult others to cover up my insecurities.  I lie and cheat in order to hide my weaknesses.  But in the depths of my darkness, help me remember Your words: "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him (Psalm 37:7)." Help me see that these words remind me that I should not run towards a life of sin while trying to overcome tribulations.  Rather help me persevere by standing firmly and hope Your deliverance in faithfulness.  Help me be “quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.” (Ecclesiastes 7:9) Just as a farmer waits for his crops, help me endure until You come to deliver this fallen world (James 5:7).  Amen
