Prayers

Take my hand, Lord, and lead me through this day, step by Step.  Remind me that I cannot do everything I wish, nor do any of it perfectly.  Only you are prefect, and only with your help can I do my best.  Help me to remember to ask for that help.

"Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act.  He will bring forth your vindication as the light, and your right as the noonday.  Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him; fret not yourself over him who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!"

  Morning

Heavenly Father. By my authority in Jesus Christ, I seal myself this day in His most precious blood for protection against the enemy. I seal myself, [fill in as appropriate: my children, my house, my car, my classroom, etc.] and everything under my physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual authority as far as You will allow. I direct any warfare in or around these areas to leave now, speak to no one as you leave, go to Jesus in the heavenly courts, and be judged and sentenced. I thank you, Lord, for this authority and power.  

In Jesus’ Name, I bless myself, [fill in as appropriate: my children, etc.] with peace, patience, kindness, love, hope, forgiveness, joy, and ability to access my/our intelligence quickly and easily, a desire to do good work, and stay focused. In Jesus’ name, I curse in me/us any laziness, forgetfulness, frustration, anxiety, negative thoughts, fear, resentment hate, anything that would derail me/us from Your path or show us to be un-Christian liked in the world.  Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.

Night

Heavenly Father. By my authority in Jesus Christ, I seal myself this night in His most precious blood for protection against the enemy. I seal myself, my dreams, and my entire body, soul, and spirit. I direct any warfare in or around these areas to leave now, speak to no one as you leave, go to Jesus in the heavenly courts, and be judged and sentenced. I thank you, Lord, for this authority and power. 

In Jesus’ Name, I bless myself with restful sleep, calm dreams, and complete rejuvenation for my body, soul, and spirit. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.  I thank You for this power. Amen.
