Prayer can be a very personal and private matter.  Thus, I have chosen to pray the following prayers using the personal pronoun “I.”  It is my hope that the prayers offered here become your personal prayers today.

Lord Forgive Me!
Heavenly Father, I enter into Your gates with thanksgiving, and into Your courts with praise, I praise your Holy Name. I pray for myself and for all of my children.  I ask You to forgive me for all of my sins, iniquities, trespasses, transgressions, sins of commission, sins of omission, unknown sins or hidden sins and specifically any sins of un-forgiveness I have in my life.  I ask that You forgive me for doubting your love for me, for disrespecting your sacrifice on the cross for me, for not abiding in You Lord Jesus and not letting Your Word abide in me.  I ask You to forgive me for all strife, bitterness and anger I have harbored in my heart toward another, for taking your Name in vain, for not observing and keeping your Holy Eternal Moral Commandments.  I ask You to forgive me for not loving you with all of my heart, strength, mind, soul & body, for not loving my neighbor as myself, for not loving myself.   I ask You to forgive me for entering into unrighteous relationships, agreements, conversations and intentional willful sin.   Please have mercy on me and forgive me for desiring the things of this world and placing them above You and your kingdom, for having pleasure in unrighteousness, for entertaining the lust of the eye and the wicked desires of my heart.  I ask You to forgive me for entertaining and engaging in the lust of the flesh and of the mind, for every sexually immoral act, thought or desire, for lying and practicing deceit and duplicity.  In the name of Jesus Christ, forgive me!!!

Lord Help Me!
Father, help me to obey Your Word and to know Your Voice.  Help me to repent and die to my first sinful birth and turn to You for eternal life – real life.  I ask you to draw me out of darkness into your marvelous light. Fill me with your Holy Spirit as you promised in Acts 2:38.  I ask You to lead me in paths of righteousness for Your Name’s Sake.  Direct my footsteps in peaceful ways and turn my darkness into days, in Jesus’ name.

Lord I Bless Your Name!
There is no other name under Heaven, on earth that can save like your name.  Lord I bless Your name!  Your name is a strong tower where only the righteous can run into it and be safe.  I praise You for imputing your righteous unto me so that I may run into your name and be saved.  Your name is above every other name, title and distinction on earth, beneath the earth and in Heaven.  I Bless Your name.  I Praise Your name!  I Worship You right now!  I commit all that I am to You so that Your perfect will for my life will be done to Your Glory.  In Jesus’ mighty name I pray.

Lord I thank You!
Heavenly Father, in the Name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I thank You.   I thank you for dying for me and for suffering in my place on the cross.  For the wages of sin is death and I deserve to die.  But You took my place on death row and died for me.  Lord, I thank you for paying my sin debt with Your Precious Blood and for bringing me into a conscious and reconciled relationship with the Father.  Thank You for forgiving me of ALL of my sins and cleansing me from ALL unrighteousness.  The blood of goats and lambs could only cover sin temporarily but Your Holy Blood washes away my sins eternally.  Father, I thank You in the name of Jesus my Lord and Savior!

My Lord and My God Save me!
Hear my prayer in Jesus’ name.  I want to be saved in accordance with your divine will and instructions for salvation.  I know that salvation only comes from YOU!  No religious institution or clergy can confer salvation upon me.  No human agency has the power to save my soul.  My salvation lies solely in You.  You said in John 3:3-5 that I would not be able to see your kingdom until I am born again.  And You said that I must be born of the water and of the Spirit in order to enter into the Kingdom of God.  Lord, I desire to see and enter into your kingdom.  I desire to be born again.   As I die to disobedience and rebellion and submit myself for baptism (burial) in a watery gave in the name of Christ Jesus, I ask you to breath into me your blessed Holy Spirit of promise that my salvation will be sealed unto the day of redemption.  Give me the PRECIOUS HOLY GHOST that will teach me, guide me, keep me and help me to mature into a saint of the Most High God.  IN JESUS’ NAME I PRAY!  To God be the Glory!

AMEN
