The past few months I’ve been praying a simple prayer. One that’s on my heart and my lips today…
Fill me with the assurance that You are trustworthy.
Short, sweet, and to the point. I know He understands.
What are you praying?

“Help HER. Please!”

That’s what I love the most…knowing that we don’t need long, drawn-out prayers, cuz He knows our hearts!!! Lately, when I see certain groups of people (who will remain nameless, but we both know who they are) praying with their books and groups and such my prayer is also simple: ‘Help them! They know not what they do.’ And its amazing how my heart has been changing so much for them with that small, short prayer. HE is soooo amazing!

One thing I would ask of You, this would I pray, to dwell in Your house O Lord every day. To gaze upon Your lovely face and rest in the Father’s embrace.
A prayer to be in fulltime ministry.
@atangie says:
to your prayer I say: Amen.
my prayers have been on the fly with whatever has been happening in the moment. as well as some concerted focus on my family. you pop up rather frequently. thanksgiving. a car. to live alive. an infusion of authenticity. forgiveness.
Give me more of a desire to know you, Lord.
@danielleH says:
To really know Jesus.
To not lose this season of intensity in my heart, the extra-openess to what God is changing in me.
For myself… show me more of who You are.
For others… exactly what you’re praying! You’ll see why when you read my storm story today. :-)
((((hugs))))
“Change me, mold me, forgive me…help me to be more like you.”
Amen to your prayer as well!
(throughout the day today i’ll be praying for you that which you’re praying for yourselves.)
Last week it was: I want to FEEL again.
Today it is: FEELING is hard. Hear my heart’s cry.
Actually, your prayer is perfect for how I’m feeling now – believing God, then doubting Him, knowing that He can do whatever He chooses, but beggining Him to do what I want, pleading with Him to agree with my heart, and knowing that His plans and will and mercy are perfect no matter what.
See? Feeling is hard.
@cassgirl says:
ACCOUNTABILITY with Godly women in my life.
For you, my family members, David…
but the phrased prayer that keeps coming to mind even yet early this morning is, give me the strength I need to finish this week, and wisdom for every situation I encounter.
Winnow the path.
@20BOLD11 says:
Forgiveness. Purpose. Revelation. Direction. Wisdom. Deliverance. Restoration.
Love you Lece.
To let Him love on me, and to be changed by His love. To seek Him more fervently. To share Him more boldly. Man, am I ever praying.
To help me continually understand that He knows how to traverse this path, and for me to follow His lead, instead of wandering like I feel like doing.
this was my prayer not long ago…”Here you go Lord. You know my problems. You know my pain. You know my needs. I cannot do this alone any more. I am putting 100% of my trust in You. I cannot begin to understand why all of this is happening, but I can put my trust in You. So, Lord, here ya go. Help me. Please
A LOT: Boldness. Courage. His love to empower me to love others. To walk by the Spirit and not fulfill the lust of the flesh. To lay up treasures in heaven and not on earth. To not rely on substitutions for what God alone is supposed/wants/must be. To be baptized with the Holy Spirit AND fire. To fear God more than I fear man.
show me what i am to do, day in/day out. and give me passion to do it to the best of my human abilities with your assistance.
“Give me the courage, Lord, and completely lead me by Your Spirit, to do it if/when I hear Your voice.” (in regards to something in particular)
“help me connect with you and with others”
“help me believe positively”
@atangie says:
Thank you for your prayers Alece.
for peace.
i feel blind, but i wanna
SEE.
i feel deaf, but i wanna
HEAR.
teach me how to KNOW you like i’ve never known you (or anyone) up until now…
…in a way i never thought possible, but always hoped could be true…
(please, please, God?)
@cassgirl says:
(prayin and lovin)
help the desires of my heart to be the desires of Yours… help me to love what I have instead of yearning for what I lack.
What fantastic things you draw out of people, Alece! It amazes me.
What am I praying … I don’t know. Right now I’m listening. My seasons are changing, and I want to catch what He needs me to hear right now.
@danielleH says:
thanks
For you, sweet friend. For manifestation of healing. For open eyes and ears so I don’t miss anything. For wisdom and discernment.
God is faithful in all of these.
i so appreciate how you guys have shared your hearts here. thank you…
I am praying… “Heal us Lord”….”give me wisdom and understanding” and use me for “such a time as this”.
Today: for a full night of sleep (it’s been 5 months…)
Tomorrow: for a restful and refreshing week with other staff members
I don’t think there’s been a certain prayer in my heart these days. But all I’ve felt is that I need more Jesus. That’s been my heart’s cry lately…for more Jesus.
I’ve been in a weird place lately.
It’s been a long time since I last felt this need/want/love for Jesus (and yes, it’s been a mixture of the three). But I think that it just might be a good thing.
@cassgirl says:
Came back to this post..
Having some issues with a friend right now that lives close. She wants to start our friendship up again after she hurt me. Hmmm…
God teach me about forgiveness…
That His perfect heart would seep into mine and take over completely.
