Daily Prayer Guide
A few years ago I created a note on my phone and over time, through different seasons of mountains and valleys, added specific prayers to it that I believed I needed to pray through every day. Recently, I felt lead to make this list public so that others could use this as a tool to catalyst prayer in their own lives. Have you ever sat down to pray but didn’t know where to start? Most likely, some of you reading this answered “yes” to that question. And that’s okay! This list will help you get started and find a beautiful rhythm of prayer rooted in scripture, inspired by Holy Spirit to take you deeper in prayer and closer to the heart of the Father. Don’t let the enemy tell you that you aren’t a prayer warrior. Friend, you were made for communion with the Father. You were made for prayer! Just start at the top and make your way down the list using the scriptures to declare His Word over your life, your family, your children, your finances, your church, your nation…you get the picture! Wether you are an experienced intercessor or you are finding yourself wanting to get serious about your prayer life, I pray you find a fresh presence of God today as you partner with our Great Intercessor (Romans 8:34) before the Throne.
“Never stop praying.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:17
