Scriptural Prayer
Praise and Worship
Holy and Righteous God, we exalt You as the sovereign Lord who hears the prayers of the humble. You are the God who forgives, restores, and heals. We worship You for Your mercy that meets us in our brokenness and Your grace that calls us to repentance. Thank You for being a God who delights in hearing the prayers of Your people. You alone are worthy of all glory and honor.
Praying God’s Will
Lord, Your will is for Your people to approach You with humility, seeking Your face and turning from sin. Teach us to lay aside pride and self-reliance, coming to You with hearts that are surrendered and dependent on Your grace. May we align our lives with Your will, trusting in Your promise to forgive and restore when we seek You earnestly.
Praying the Request
Father, we come before You humbly, acknowledging our need for Your forgiveness and healing. Teach us to pray with hearts that are contrite and fully yielded to You. Let our prayers be a reflection of genuine repentance and a deep desire to know You more. Heal our lives, our families, and our communities as we turn to You with sincere hearts.
Praying for Forgiveness
Merciful Lord, we confess the times we have failed to humble ourselves before You. Forgive us for our pride, our self-centeredness, and our neglect of seeking Your face. Forgive us for the ways we have strayed from Your will and for any sins that hinder our relationship with You. Cleanse us and renew us as we turn back to You with repentant hearts.
Praying for Protection
Lord, protect us from the traps of pride and self-sufficiency that pull us away from You. Guard our hearts against distractions and anything that would keep us from seeking Your face. Surround us with Your peace and strength as we walk in humility and dependence on You. Keep us close to You and guide us in paths of righteousness.
Praise and Worship
We praise You, Lord, for being a God who responds to the humble cries of Your people. Thank You for the assurance that You hear, forgive, and restore when we turn to You. May our lives reflect the humility and faithfulness You desire, bringing glory to Your name. To You be all honor, praise, and adoration, now and forever. Amen.
