God Elohim: Please forgive my sin and iniquities.

 What a humble and powerful prayer—to seek God's forgiveness is to draw near to His heart. Here is a prayer for forgiveness grounded in Scripture, affirming His promise to cleanse, restore, and cover us in grace:

---

### Prayer for Forgiveness  

**Based on 1 John 1:9, Psalm 103:12, Isaiah 1:18 & Hebrews 4:16**

> **Merciful Father,**  

> I come before You in humility, acknowledging my sin and inequity. Your Word declares:  

> *“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”* (1 John 1:9).  

>  

> **I confess my failures**—my thoughts, words, and actions that have grieved Your Spirit. I have fallen short of Your holiness (Romans 3:23). Forgive me for wandering from Your path and carrying burdens You never asked me to bear.  

>  

> **Wash me, Lord.** As You promised:  

> *“As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us”* (Psalm 103:12).  

> Blot out my guilt. Purify my heart (Psalm 51:10). Let the blood of Jesus, shed for me, speak a better word over my life (Hebrews 12:24).  

>  

> **Renew my spirit.** Your grace declares:  

> *“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow”* (Isaiah 1:18).  

> Clothe me in righteousness. Restore the joy of Your salvation (Psalm 51:12).  

>  

> **Hold me close.** I run to Your throne of grace, *“that I may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need”* (Hebrews 4:16). Teach me to walk in Your light, leaning not on my strength but Yours.  

>  

> **Thank You for not condemning me** (Romans 8:1). Thank You for calling me *“beloved”* even when I falter. May Your forgiveness free me to live boldly for Your glory—today and always.  

>  

> **In Jesus’ mighty name,  

> Amen.**

### Key Promises to Hold Onto:

1. **He forgives completely:**  

   *“You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.”* (Micah 7:19)  

2. **He removes shame:**  

   *“Do not remember the former things; behold, I will do a new thing.”* (Isaiah 43:18–19)  

3. **He fights for you:**  

   *“I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins.”* (Isaiah 43:25)  

> ✨ **Walk in freedom today.** You are forgiven, cleansed, and covered by the blood of Christ. Let His grace be your strength. When guilt whispers, declare: *“There is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus”* (Romans 8:1). You are His.

Daily Grace and Trust:Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof Mathew 6:34

 Here's a prayer incorporating Matthew 6:34 ("Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" - KJV), seeking God's blessing for daily grace and trust:

**Prayer for Daily Grace and Trust**

**Opening (Adoration & Acknowledgment):**

Heavenly Father, Creator and Sustainer of all, I come before You today acknowledging Your sovereignty over time and Your deep care for every detail of my life. You hold yesterday, today, and tomorrow in Your loving hands. Thank You for Your constant presence and unfailing faithfulness.

**Confession (Acknowledging Need):**

Lord, I confess that I often struggle with worry. My mind races ahead, anxious about tomorrow's potential problems, burdens, and uncertainties. I try to carry weights You never intended me to bear alone. Forgive me for my lack of trust and for allowing fear to overshadow my faith in Your provision.

**Petition (Focusing on the Verse & Requesting Blessing):**

Today, Your Word speaks powerfully to my heart: **"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble" (Matthew 6:34, NKJV).**

*   **Bless me, Father, with the profound truth of this scripture.** Help me truly grasp that You provide grace *sufficient* for *today's* challenges.

*   **Bless me with focused faith.** Grant me the strength and wisdom to concentrate fully on the tasks, responsibilities, and encounters You have set before me *this day*.

*   **Bless me with discernment.** Help me recognize the specific "trouble" or challenge of *this day*, and not borrow imagined troubles from tomorrow.

*   **Bless me with Your daily portion of grace, strength, and peace.** Like You provided manna daily in the wilderness (Exodus 16:4), provide exactly what I need spiritually, emotionally, and physically to navigate *today's* demands. Make Your strength perfect in my weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

*   **Bless me with a heart of trust.** Replace my anxiety with deep confidence in Your promise to be with me always (Matthew 28:20) and to supply all my needs according to Your riches (Philippians 4:19), one day at a time.

**Thanksgiving (Gratitude for Provision):**

Thank You, Lord, that Your mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Thank You that You are my Shepherd, leading me one step at a time, promising that I shall not want (Psalm 23:1). Thank You for the peace that comes from releasing tomorrow into Your capable hands and embracing the grace You freely give for today.

**Closing (Affirmation of Trust):**

I choose now, by Your Spirit's power, to lay down the burden of tomorrow's worries. I receive Your sufficient grace for this day. I trust You for today's bread, today's strength, and today's peace. Guide my steps, guard my heart, and help me live fully and faithfully in the present moment You have given me.

**Blessing:**

May the Lord bless you and keep you *today*. May His face shine upon you *this day* and give you peace. May you experience the sufficiency of His grace, moment by moment, trusting that He has equipped you fully for everything *this day* holds. Go forth in the strength He provides, knowing His presence goes with you. **Amen.**

**Key Elements Explained:**

1.  **Scripture Integration:** The core verse (Matthew 6:34) is quoted directly within the petition section, forming the foundation of the request.

2.  **Focus on "Sufficient for the Day":** The prayer repeatedly asks for blessing to understand, receive, and live in the reality of God's *daily* provision for *daily* needs and challenges ("today's bread," "today's strength," "this day's demands").

3.  **Addressing "the evil thereof" (its own trouble):** The prayer asks for discernment to see *today's* specific challenges clearly and not be overwhelmed by future anxieties.

4.  **Related Scripture Support:** Other verses reinforcing the themes of daily provision (Exodus 16:4 - manna), God's presence (Matthew 28:20), strength in weakness (2 Cor 12:9), new mercies (Lam 3:22-23), and God's supply (Phil 4:19) are woven in naturally.

5.  **Practical Application:** The requests are tangible – focused faith, discernment, strength, peace, trust – things needed to live out the truth of Matthew 6:34.

6.  **Blessing:** The closing blessing specifically invokes God's presence and sufficient grace *for the day*.

Use this prayer as a heartfelt plea to God for the grace to live one day at a time, trusting fully in His timely provision.

Sermon of the Mount: The Beatitudes

 Here is the powerful passage you're seeking—**Jesus' own words** from the Sermon on the Mount, followed by key truths and a prayer:

---

### 📜 **Matthew 6:25-34 (ESV)**  

> **"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?**  

>   

> *Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?*  

>   

> *And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?*  

>   

> **And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.**  

>   

> *But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?*  

>   

> *Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’*  

>   

> **For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.**  

>   

> *Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."*

Everything for Jesus

 What a cry of total surrender—the purest anthem of the sanctified heart. Here’s a prayer-poem for your **"Everything for Jesus"** offering, forged in fire and faithfulness:  

---

### 🔥 **"ALL FOR THEE"**  

*Take it all—*  

every breath, every dream,  

every shattered shard, every hidden seam.  

**My hands hold nothing back, my Jesus—**  

*King, Redeemer, Life, and Truth.*  

*"I have been crucified with Christ.  

It is no longer I who live,  

but Christ who lives in me."*  

**— Galatians 2:20**  

**Break me.**  

Pour me out like oil at Your feet.  

Use me up till my earthly frame is spent—  

a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable…  

*broken, but content.*  

*"Present your bodies as a living sacrifice,  

holy and acceptable to God—  

which is your spiritual worship."*  

**— Romans 12:1**  

**Burn me.**  

Set holy fire to every lesser love—  

ambition, comfort, treasure-trove.  

Let smoke rise wild from pyres of pride,  

till only You remain inside.  

*"For whoever would save his life will lose it,  

but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it."*  

**— Luke 9:24**  

**Send me.**  

Where feet fear to tread, where darkness lies,  

where broken hearts bleed, where hope dies.  

Point the path—through storm or spear—  

*I’ll run it, Jesus, if You’re near.*  

*"Here am I. Send me."*  

**— Isaiah 6:8**  

**Keep me.**  

When I falter, when I weep,  

when faith grows thin and doubt runs deep—  

bind me to the cross again,  

remind me why I chose this pain:  

*For the joy set before me…*  

**For the One who wore my shame.**  

*"Let us run with endurance the race set before us,  

looking to Jesus, the Founder and Perfecter of our faith,  

who for the joy set before Him endured the cross..."*  

**— Hebrews 12:1-2**  

---

### ✝️ **WHAT "EVERYTHING" MEANS**

| Your reputation        | → His approval (Matthew 10:32) |  

| Your comfort           | → His joy unspeakable (1 Peter 1:8) |  

| Your life              | → His eternity (John 3:16) |

### ⚔️ **A CHARGE TO YOUR SOUL**  

> *“Do not hold back.  

> Burn the ships.  

> Salt the fields of lesser loves.  

> Let your hands hang empty—  

> so He may fill them with fire.  

> Your ‘everything’ is safe in His wounds.  

> What seems lost is eternally found…  

> **in Him.**”*  

---

### 🌅 **THE ETERNAL EXCHANGE**  

You surrender **dust** → He gives **glory**.  

You surrender **death** → He gives **resurrection**.  

You surrender **all** → He gives **Himself**.  

*"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep  

to gain what he cannot lose."*  

**— Jim Elliot**  

**Go now—all in, all His, all for the Audience of One.**

**Nothing wasted. Nothing lost. Everything redeemed.**  

> 🙌 *"For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain."*  

> **— Philippians 1:21**  

> **Amen. Seal it, Lord.**

Cannot Live without Jesus

> **— Mark 8:36–37**

Here’s a prayer-reflection for you, standing on that holy truth:

---

### 🔥 **"The Great Exchange"**  

*Lord, strip me bare of every chain—*  

*Of glittering dust, of hollow gain.*  

**No throne on earth, no crown of gold,**  

*Is worth the soul Your blood once sold.*  

To own the stars, the seas, the sands,  

Yet lose Your voice, Your nail-scarred hands?  

**That trade is hell’s most bitter lie—**  

*To grasp the world, yet let You die.*  

> *“Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.”*  

> **— 1 John 2:15**

### 🌑 **THE EMPTINESS OF “EVERYTHING” WITHOUT HIM**  

| **The World Offers**          | **But Christ Warns**         |  

|-------------------------------|-------------------------------|  

| Wealth → *“You’ll never thirst!”* | → *“Whoever drinks this water will not thirst again”* (John 4:13) |  

| Fame → *“You’ll be remembered!”* | → *“All flesh is like grass”* (1 Peter 1:24) |  

| Power → *“You’ll control your fate!”* | → *“Apart from Me, you can do nothing”* (John 15:5) |  

| Pleasure → *“You’ll be satisfied!”* | → *“Their end is destruction”* (Philippians 3:19) |  

---

### ✝️ **THE ONLY TREASURE THAT LASTS**  

> *“I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ.”*  

> **— Philippians 3:8**  

**Hold onto this:**  

- Your soul is **eternal**.  

- The world is **fading**.  

- Christ is **everything**.  

---

### 🌿 **A PRAYER OF SURRENDER**  

*Jesus, tear from my hands  

every false substitute for grace.  

Break my addiction to temporary kingdoms.  

**I choose the loss—**  

the laying down of dreams,  

the releasing of rights,  

the pouring out of pride…  

*if only I gain **You.***  

*Let me be:*  

- **Poor** in spirit → but rich in *You* (Matthew 5:3)  

- **Hungry** for righteousness → but filled by *You* (Matthew 5:6)  

- **Last** in line here → but first at *Your* feast (Matthew 19:30)  

*I trade:*  

- Sand for Rock,  

- Dust for Glory,  

- Death for Resurrection.  

**Amen.**  

---

### 💎 **FIX YOUR EYES HERE**  

> *“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.”*  

> **— Colossians 3:2–3**  

You’ve chosen wisely.  

The world fades—He remains.  

**Nothing you lose for Him compares to what you gain *in* Him.**  

Stand firm, soul-anchored.  

*You are His.*

Build Treasure in Heaven

 What a sacred calling—to live with eternity in view, storing up what thieves cannot steal and rust cannot destroy. Here’s wisdom for **building treasure in heaven**, rooted in Jesus’ own words:

---

### 🔥 **"Investing in Eternity"**  

*"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth... but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven."*  

**—Matthew 6:19-20**  

### 🕯️ **HOW TO BUILD HEAVENLY TREASURE**  

1. **GIVE WHAT CAN’T BE KEPT**  

   → *"Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail."*  

   **(Luke 12:33)**  

   *Every meal shared, need met, or sacrifice made echoes in eternity.*

2. **LOVE THE UNLOVED**  

   → *"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me."*  

   **(Matthew 25:40)**  

   *Kindness to strangers, prisoners, the sick—fuels heaven’s vaults.*

3. **SURRENDER YOUR "YES"**  

   → *"Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters... for My sake will receive a hundredfold and inherit eternal life."*  

   **(Matthew 19:29)**  

   *Obedience in suffering, forgiveness, or unseen faithfulness* compounds glory.

4. **PREACH CHRIST WITHOUT COMPROMISE**  

   → *"Lay up rewards by leading many to righteousness."*  

   **(Daniel 12:3, Proverbs 11:30)**  

   *Souls won for Jesus are eternal dividends.*

5. **PRAY, FAST, AND WORSHIP IN SECRET**  

   → *"Your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."*  

   **(Matthew 6:4, 6, 18)**  

   *Hidden intimacy with God builds incorruptible wealth.*

---

### ✨ **THE HEART BEHIND THE TREASURE**  

> *"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."*  

> **—Matthew 6:21**  

Heavenly investment isn’t about *earning* salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9)—it’s a **love response**. When Christ becomes your *all*, earthly gains fade. You build because:  

- You trust His promise more than banks.  

- You crave His "Well done" (Matthew 25:23) more than applause.  

- You know this world is passing away (1 John 2:17).  

---

### 🌿 **A PRAYER FOR ETERNAL INVESTMENT**  

> *Lord, shift my eyes from dust to glory.  

> Teach me to spend my breath, my coins, my days  

> on what outlives the grave.  

>  

> **Let me build with:**  

> —Hands that give lavishly,  

> —Knees that pray fiercely,  

> —Feet that chase the lost,  

> —A heart that loves to its own cost.  

>  

> May every loss here be gain there,  

> Every surrender a diamond laid bare  

> in the vaults of Your forever.  

> I trade temporary for eternal—  

> starting **now.**  

> In Jesus’ name, Amen.*  

---

### ⚖️ **GOD’S ECONOMY vs. MAN’S**  

| **Earthly Treasure** | **Heavenly Treasure** |  

|----------------------|------------------------|  

| Perishes (Matthew 6:19) | Eternal (Matthew 6:20) |  

| Owned by you | Held by God for you (1 Peter 1:4) |  

| Isolated gain | Shared joy (Luke 15:7,10) |  

| Temporary security | Unshakable inheritance (Hebrews 12:28) |  

**Build wisely.** Live with your hands open. One day, you’ll stand before Him—and every act done in His name will blaze like gold refined.  

> *"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what they have done."*  

> **—Revelation 22:12**

Fervent Prayer

 What a powerful declaration of faith—**absolutely true and eternally anchored in God's Word.** Here’s a response grounded in Scripture, affirming this holy promise while honoring both God’s sovereignty and His tender faithfulness to those who seek Him with all their heart:

---

### 🔥 **"The Fervent Prayer"**  

*A believer’s cry,  

white-hot and raw—  

tears like lava,  

faith like law—  

pierces the dark,  

ignites the throne.  

God leans close:  

*“This prayer is My own.”***

> *“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much.”*  

> **—James 5:16 (NKJV)**

### Why *Fervent* Prayers Are **Always** Answered:  

1. **GOD HEARS THE HEART’S FIRE**  

   It’s not about eloquence—it’s about *urgency*. Like Elijah praying for rain (1 Kings 18:42-45), or Hannah weeping for a son (1 Samuel 1:15-17)—God responds when we pray with **our whole being**.  

   *“You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.”*  

   **—Jeremiah 29:13**

2. **GOD ANSWERS IN 3 WAYS**  

   - **”YES”** — *“Before they call, I will answer.”* (Isaiah 65:24)  

   - **”WAIT”** — *“I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry.”* (Psalm 40:1)  

   - **”I HAVE BETTER”** — *“No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.”* (Psalm 84:11)  

   **Even “no” is a form of “yes”**—*yes* to His greater protection, purpose, or eternal perspective.

3. **THE KEY: PRAYING *IN HIS WILL***  

   Fervency alone isn’t magic—it’s **faith aligned with His heart**:  

   *“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.”*  

   **—1 John 5:14**  

   → *Jesus modeled this:* *“Not My will, but Yours be done.”* (Luke 22:42)

---

### 🌿 **A FERVENT PRAYER TO PRAY NOW:**  

> *“Father, I come to You with *abandon*—  

> no holding back, no hidden door.  

> You see my hunger, my raw ache,  

> the dreams I can’t carry anymore.  

>  

> **I ask boldly** (Hebrews 4:16),  

> **I seek relentlessly** (Matthew 7:7),  

> **I knock until my knuckles bleed** (Luke 18:1-8).  

>  

> But above all—*align my heart with Yours*.  

> Teach me to want what You want.  

> To love what You love.  

> To surrender what You say must die.  

>  

> I trust You:  

> —If You say *‘go’*, I’ll run.  

> —If You say *‘stay’*, I’ll wait.  

> —If You say *‘no’*, I’ll weep… then worship.  

>  

> For Your answer—*whatever it is*—  

> is the mercy my soul truly needs.  

> In Jesus’ name, **amen**.”*

---

### ⚡️ **3 THINGS TO HOLD WHEN ANSWERS SEEM DELAYED:**  

1. **GOD IS WORKING *IN* YOU**  

   *Fervent prayer changes **you** first.* It refines, deepens, and purifies (1 Peter 1:6-7).  

2. **SPIRITUAL BATTLES RAGE**  

   Daniel’s answer was delayed 21 days by spiritual warfare (Daniel 10:12-13). *Don’t stop pounding heaven’s door.*  

3. **GOD’S TIMING IS HOLY**  

   *“When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son”* (Galatians 4:4). What He does in you **while you wait** is part of the answer.

---

**Stand firm, ardent believer.**  

Your tears are holy.

Your Blessing is all I have

---

### 🕊️ **"Your Blessing Is All I Have"**  

*Yes, Lord—*  

Your blessing is my breath, my bread,  

The ground beneath where my feet tread.  

When all I owned has slipped away,  

**Your blessing holds me—stays.**  

Not wealth, nor strength, nor friend, nor dream—  

Just this: the *"Yes"* in Your blood-stream,  

The covenant sealed upon my soul:  

**"You are Mine—and I make you whole."**  

> *“The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;  

> You hold my lot.  

> The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places…”*  

> **— Psalm 16:5-6**  

**So I stand bare-handed—**  

no claim, no plea,  

But open palms lifted to Thee.  

Fill them, Father, with weight unseen:  

*Your presence.  

Your promise.  

The space between.*  

> *“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,  

> who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing  

> in the heavenly places.”*  

> **— Ephesians 1:3**  

**Your blessing is:**  

- The manna in my wilderness,  

- The ram caught in the thicket-stress,  

- The oil that never runs dry,  

- The *“Enough”* when all asks *“Why?”*  

**Your blessing is:**  

- My name carved in Your scarred palm,  

- My calm inside the fiercest psalm,  

- The dawn no night can hold at bay—  

*All I have, yet more than all, this day.*

> **Held** (Deuteronomy 33:27),  

> **Redeemed** (Isaiah 43:1),

   **(Romans 11:29)**  

**You are rich.**  

Not in gold, but in grace.  

Not in safety, but in the Savior’s embrace.  

**You are full.**  

Not by what’s in your hand—  

But by the God who calls you *“Mine”* in the barren land.  

> ✨ *“The Lord bless you and keep you;

All I have is your blessings

 What a sacred confession—that in the stripping away of all else, His blessing remains your anchor, your breath, your everything. Here is a prayer-poem born from that holy surrender:

---

### **"All I Have Is Your Blessing"**  

Lord, when the world fades—wealth, strength, and friend—  

**Your blessing alone is my beginning and end.**  

Not gold, nor health, nor human praise,  

But the grace that crowns my darkest days.  

*“The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;  

You hold my lot.  

The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;  

indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.”*  

**— Psalm 16:5–6**  

**I own nothing else**—no claim, no pride—  

Just mercy’s river flowing wide.  

Your *“Yes”* in Christ, Your whispered *“Mine,”*  

Is deeper wealth than silver-mine.  

*“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,  

who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing…”*  

**— Ephesians 1:3**  

When fear would say, *“You walk alone,”*  

I touch the scar-marked Cornerstone:  

**Your covenant stands—though mountains fall—**  

*Your blessing holds me through it all.*  

*“The Lord bless you and keep you;  

the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you…”*  

**— Numbers 6:24–25**  

So take my hands, empty and bare—  

Fill them with blessings beyond compare:  

**Your presence.**  

**Your promise.**  

**Your peace like the dawn.**  

*You are all I have…*  

**And all I need.**  

*Carry me on.*

### 🔹 *A Blessing Over Your Empty Hands*:  

> *“May you know today that His blessing is:  

> **Your breath** when lungs fail,  

> **Your song** when words flee,  

> **Your feast** when the cupboard is bare,  

> **Your crown** when the world discards you.  

> You are *infinitely rich* in Him (2 Corinthians 8:9). What was stripped away only made room for the weight of glory (2 Corinthians 4:17). You lack nothing—for **Christ is yours**.”*

I cried my tears—a broken sea,  

And **You bent low to comfort me.**  

You gathered every drop I shed,  

And whispered *“Hope”* where dread had spread.  

*“You keep track of all my sorrows.  

You have collected all my tears in Your bottle.  

You have recorded each one in Your book.”*  

**— Psalm 56:8**  

No sob was lost, no ache ignored—  

You heard the grief my heart out-poured.  

Like morning dew, Your mercy came,  

And softly spoke my sorrow’s name:

I save those crushed in spirit.”*  

**— Psalm 34:18**  

* *“As a mother comforts her child,  

so will I comfort you.”*

Your love endures—eternal, pure.  

When new tears fall in coming days,  

I’ll rest here in Your steadfast ways.

Lord God, my Shield, my Fortress, my Light—

When plagues advance like shadows deep,  

Be my Stronghold while nations weep.

nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.”*  

**—Psalm 91:10**  

Cover me now beneath Your wings,

and from the deadly pestilence.”*

Like the Israelites in Goshen, hide me in Your Goshen of grace (Exodus 8:22). Break every assignment of sickness—whether viral, bacterial, or spiritual. Clothe me in garments of immunity bought by Christ’s sacrifice (Galatians 3:13). I take the **full armor of God** (Ephesians 6:10-18)—especially the shield of faith to quench pestilence’s flames. In Jesus’ name, amen.”*

 Here’s a prayer inspired by the sacred moments in the **Upper Room**—where Jesus shared the Last Supper, washed the disciples’ feet, promised the Holy Spirit, and prayed for unity (John 13-17). This prayer echoes the surrender, intimacy, and commissioning born in that holy space:  

---

### **"Upper Room Prayer"**  

Lord Jesus, in the hush of that candlelit night,  

You knelt, You broke bread, You called us to light.  

Here in this heart, my own Upper Room,  

Breathe Your last commands; banish the gloom.  

*“A new command I give you: Love one another.*  

*As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”*  

**(John 13:34)**  

**Wash me** as You washed dusty feet—  

Servant-King, make my offering complete.  

**Break me** as You broke the bread—  

*“This is My body, for you,” You said.*  

**(Luke 22:19)**  

**Fill me** with the wine of Your covenant true—  

The blood that forgives, renews, makes new.  

And when fear whispers, or doubt takes flight,  

Remind me: *“I am the Way, the Truth, the Life.”*  

**(John 14:6)**  

---  

### **For the Spirit’s Coming**  

You promised a Comforter, Wind, and Fire—  

*“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes.”*  

**(Acts 1:8)**  

Stir in me now, awaken, inspire!  

As in that Upper Room, let tongues of flame  

Ignite my soul to proclaim Your name.  

*“May they all be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You…*  

*so the world may believe You sent Me.”*  

**(John 17:21)**  

Unite Your Church, torn and scarred—  

Make us one body, working hard  

To love the lost, lift the frail,  

Till Your Kingdom comes, and love prevails.  

---  

### **Closing Petition**  

**So here I wait—**  

in my own Upper Room,  

Hungry for grace,  

Breaking the gloom.  

*Come, Holy Spirit.*  

*Teach me to abide.*  

*Here at this table,*  

*Stay by my side.*  

**Send me from this place**  

*With fire, with bread—*  

*To live as You lived,*  

*To love in Your stead.*  

**Amen.**  

---

### 🔹 *Key Scriptures from the Upper Room*:

Put me under your wings.

 

### **"Under Your Wings"**  

Lord, hide me now where mercies sing—  

**Put me under Your wings.**  

When storms rage fierce and shadows fall,  

Be my refuge, my fortress, my all.  

*"He will cover you with His feathers,  

and under His wings you will find refuge."*  

**(Psalm 91:4)**  

Like a child sheltered from the night,  

Hold me close in Your healing light.  

When fear would steal my weary breath,  

Let Your wings whisper: *"Life, not death."*  

*"I take refuge in the shadow of Your wings  

until the disaster has passed."*  

**(Psalm 57:1)**  

Cover my wounds, my doubts, my tears,  

Guard me through the crushing years.  

For You see the sparrow when it falls—  

How much more You hear *my* faintest calls.  

*"How often I have longed to gather you  

as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings."*  

**(Matthew 23:37)**  

Here I rest—no safer place—  

Wrapped in mercy, cradled in grace.  

Your wings are my peace, my song, my home,  

Till You call me to rise, no more to roam.  

**Amen.**  

---

### 🔹 *A Prayer to Whisper*:  

> *"Abba, You are my hiding place (Psalm 32:7). Tuck me into the warmth of Your presence. Let Your wings be my shield against pain, fear, and loneliness. Renew my strength here in Your shadow, until the day Your healing sun dawns over me (Malachi 4:2). I am Yours. Amen."*  

May you feel the nearness of the One who gathers you close. You are held. 🕊️✝️

May your Healing hands be upon us.

Lord, You formed my frame, You know my every part—  

Bless this body, renew this heart.  

From the crown of my head to the soles of my feet,  

Cover me, Lord, with mercy sweet.  

*"I am the Lord who heals you."*  

**(Exodus 15:26)**  

When weakness comes or pain runs deep,  

Be my strength when my faith feels weak.  

*"By His wounds, we are healed."*

Restore my flesh, my spirit, my mind;  

Like living water, in me unwind.  

*"He gives strength to the weary,  

and increases power to the weak."*  

**(Isaiah 40:29)**  

Lord, bless this temple Your Spirit made—  

Breathe life into me, unafraid.  

*"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."*  

**(Philippians 4:13)**  

For every cell, each breath, each day,  

I trust Your hand to guide my way.  

*"The Lord sustains them on their sickbed  

and restores them from their bed of illness."*  

**(Psalm 41:3)**  

**Amen.**

### 🔹 *A Prayer to Pray*:  

> *"Father, You knit me together (Psalm 139:13). I ask for Your healing touch on my body, mind, and spirit. Renew my strength like the eagle’s (Isaiah 40:31). Whether through doctors, medicine, or Your miraculous hand—I trust You. Let every breath I take declare: ‘The Lord is my Healer.’ In Jesus’ name, Amen."*  

May God’s peace guard your heart and His vitality flow through you. Hold onto His promise: **"I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you"** (2 Kings 20:5). 🌿🙏

Do not forget nor forsake me, My Lord.

 **"Do Not Forget Me, Lord"**  

My Lord, my Lord, my heart’s deep plea—  

Do not forget nor forsake me.  

Though shadows linger, though tears may fall,  

You are my God, my hope, my all.  

*"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast?  

Though she may forget, I will not forget you!  

See, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands."*  

**(Isaiah 49:15-16)**  

When strength is gone and fears arise,  

When faith is weak and doubt supplies—  

Still, I will cling to Your promise true:  

*"I will never leave you nor forsake you."*  

**(Hebrews 13:5)**  

If desert paths seem dry and long,  

If sorrow sings its weary song,  

Remind me, Lord, You walk with me—  

Your rod, Your staff, my comfort be.  

*"The Lord Himself goes before you; He will never leave you."*  

**(Deuteronomy 31:8)**  

So though I plead in trembling prayer,  

I trust Your love, Your constant care.  

For You are God, unchanging, true—  

My Lord, my Life, my light, my way,  

You hear me when my soul cries, *"Stay."*  

**Amen.**  

May this prayer bring you peace, knowing God holds you close—always. He will never forget you. 💙🙏
