Joy Prayers: What is the Purpose for All My Big Ideas?




The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.

-Psalm 28:7

God there are so many times that I feel like
 I have too many obstacles to contend with
 and they seem to be never ending.

  All I can do is rely on the words
you have spoken to my heart
 about the good work you have begun in me.

Have mercy on me Lord.
 Ease the bitterness of discouragement.
  The hope of what you have begun burns inside me,
 a consuming fire Lord.
 To the point that it makes my heart feel sick.

Remind me Lord that it is the chasing after you,
 your voice,
 your heart
 and your good pleasure
 that is ultimately
the best part of any vision
 you have put within me.

Remind me that my life belongs to you;
 however you choose to navigate it.

And Lord, help me to not look simply to outside circumstances
 to reveal my progress in life in terms of this vision.

Remind me that this life is going
according to your plan
I yield my ways to you.

Joy Prayers: What Does the World Need From Me?




Light in a messenger's eyes brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.
– Proverbs 15:30

God I believe you have put something within me that the world needs.  You have given me an idea, a song, a mission, a talent
that I have been afraid to let others really see.

There have been times where I shared my vision with someone
 and she was unkind with her response. 
I release that person from the responsibility
of holding me back any longer.

I pray that you would surround me
with one or with many
 that will nurture what you have placed inside me.
 I pray you would expand my capacity to reach others in a unique way that you have crafted for me. 

I start with you Lord and ask you to help me water the work.

Then I ask that you will open the eyes of those around me
 who need what you have given me to offer.
  You Lord know how you have given me this work to do
 and for whom the work is for.

Thank you for loving me this much
to give me work to do for your good purpose
 not only to connect with the world and remind them of you Lord
but to bless me with the ability to create fulfilling life work
