Prayers To Help You In Times of Need-Praying For Guidance

When tough times call, most people, even non Christians, often find themselves uttering a small prayer of guidance. For Christians, they understand and know that Christ has their best interest. Of course, it doesn’t make it any easier to accept uncertainty.
As a Christian one of the foremost things you do as you enter into Christianity is that you are required to fully surrender everything to the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
He will take whatever’s bad in your life and transform them inside out; turning you into the best possible person you can be under Christ.
This may seem easy but it takes a long time to finally reach the point where we can fully surrender our needs, wants and other so-called necessities and simply trust that Christ through the Holy Spirit will provide for everything.
On the other hand, entering through this relationship doesn’t mean it’ll be peaches and cake since as humans; we are predisposed to doubt and fear.
So if you find yourself in a situation where you feel like you’re going through a dark tunnel with no end in sight, here are a few important Bible Verses to remember as you utter prayer for guidance.

“O Lord, I know the way of a man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.” (Jeremiah 10:23)

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord …” (Psalm 37:23)

“A man’s steps are of the Lord. How then can a man understand his own way?” (Proverbs 20:24)

“There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” (Proverbs 14:12)

“The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” (Psalm 23:1)

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27)

“Direct my steps by Your word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me.” (Psalm 119:133)

“Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation …” (Psalm 25:4)

Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way you should go.” (Isaiah 48:17)

For this is God, our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even to death.” (Psalm 48:14)

“The Lord will guide you continually …” (Isaiah 58:11)

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.” (Psalm 32:8)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5)

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord …” (Psalm 37:23)

Therefore be followers of God as dear children.” (Ephesians 5:1)

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27)

When praying, keep these verses in mind. Quote them back to the Lord and claim them as part of your life. You are a child of God, and he does have beautiful plans for you and your life.
Even though uncertainty and other problems might beset you right now, rest assured that the Lord is always there to help and guide you. All you have to do is ask for his help.
Please let us know if there are any other prayers for guidance that are not listed here that you have prayed.

PRAYER FOR FAVOR, BREAKTHROUGH, BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL PROSPERITY

A powerful Prayer for a Sick Child

Deliverance Prayer for Casting out Demons

To Read Aloud For Casting Demons Out of Yourself
(Note to the reader: When it’s all over and the spirit goes out, ask again if there are any more spirits left in you. If yes, continue reading. If all are gone, you can stop reading and go right to the prayer of thanks at the end. Words in red are directions, words in black are to read out loud. You should have a strong Christian that you trust with you to take over reading in case you can’t continue.)
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and with the blood of Jesus, I bind any demons in me in heaven and on Earth, in Jesus’ name and with his power and authority. Joel 2:32 says, “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered.”
I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the only way to God and that he died on the cross for my sins and were resurrected so that I might be forgiven and saved.
It is not through my actions but through Jesus’ sacrifice as my personal savior and God’s grace that I have been saved. As a true Christian, I serve God completely to do His will.
I renounce all pride. I confess and repent of all my sins before You, Lord, and ask Your forgiveness. I also confess these sins that I have never confessed before:(list any secret sins here) .
I forgive everyone who has done wrong to me. I forget resentments and grudges against all people. I forgive these people that I have not forgiven before: (list people not forgiven before here) , since the Bible says that no one’s sins can be forgiven unless they forgive others.
I renounce all involvement I have ever had with the occult and false religion, including fortune tellers, witch craft, magic and sorcery. I will throw away all items I have associated with these things which God hates.
Galatians 3:13 tells us that on the cross Jesus was made a curse that we might be redeemed from every curse. “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.””
Based on Jesus’ sacrifice, I ask You to release me from any curses upon me or my family and set me free to receive the deliverance that I need from Satan and his demons.
Father, please forgive me for any sins that my ancestors committed and break any generational curses.
I take my stand with you, God, against Satan and all his demons. Jesus, please come into my heart and cleanse me with your blood. I submit to you, Lord, and resist the devil and he will flee. Amen!
Now, you evil spirit that is in me – I’m talking to you now. I am speaking to any demons that are in or have control over me. What is your name? In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command you to answer me.
(Wait for answer.)
When and how did you enter me? I command you to answer me by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ.
(Wait for answer. If it tells you how it entered, you must renounce that event out loud and repent.)
(Demon’s name), I command you to leave me now. I cast you and all other demons out of me in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and the One True Almighty God. You must leave me now- I am a house of God. I rebuke you evil spirits in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and I cast you out by the authority of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.
(If they don’t go out, get down on your knees and pray this:)
Dear God, I am Your servant and want to be free from evil spirits. I want to serve you and beg you to drive out these evil ones from my body and keep them away. Please send an angel to fight for me and the Holy Spirit to fill me so that there is no stronghold left for any demons to enter me. Please Lord by your holy Name and authority and Jesus’ sacrifice and Name, expel these demons from me at once. In Jesus’ name, Amen
(You may have to keep praying until it works or you get too tired to continue. You may keep repeating the following line before and after reading scriptures aloud:)
I rebuke you evil spirits in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and I cast you out by the authority of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.
(Here are some scriptures you can read aloud about deliverance):
“Our God is a God of salvation, and to GOD, the Lord, belong deliverances from death.” -Psalm 68:20, ESV
“Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” – Psalm 82:4, NIV
“I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.” -Psalm 91:2-3, ESV
“You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance.” Psalm 32: 7, ESV
“Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.” – 2 Timothy 4:18, NLT
Prayer of Thanks
Thank you Lord Jesus and Almighty God for delivering me from the evil one! You are faithful and true and always take care of me. Please protect me from Satan and his demons. Please keep them away from me, out of my mind, out of my dreams, away from my home, away from my body, out of my body, and away from my family.
I am a dwelling place only for You, Your son Jesus, and Your Holy Spirit. There is no room for evil in this house. Please heal my body from these spirits’ damage and rid me of any strongholds allowing them to come back.
Praise You, Lord for delivering me! Your power surpasses all other. Please send an angel to guard over me and fill me with your Holy Spirit so that I stay full of you always and the evil ones are not able to return. Help me to always resist the devil and he will flee from me. In Jesus’ name, Amen

Prayers for Forgiveness

A Prayer for Forgiveness

I have sinned, Lord, and while I know that all have sinned and come short I am having a hard time letting go of my shame and accepting your forgiveness.
I know that I am unworthy of your love, but Your Word promises forgiveness as long as we confess our sins to You and repent. I am so sorry for falling short of what You expect of me, and I pray for your mercy and the strength not to make the same mistakes again.
Amen

There are many circumstances when we need to ask to be forgiven. One of the more common circumstances that we see in prayer requests, is asking for forgiveness after an infidelity.
We must learn to forgive even after the most hurtful of actions.

Forgiveness After an Affair

Being betrayed by a spouse is a very painful thing, but we know, Lord, that it is Your will that we learn to forgive. What others do should never impact our walk with you, God.
We need to be able to learn to forgive even the most painful breach of trust. Help us to forgive our spouse the same way that we want You to forgive us, and give us peace and healing for our broken hearts.
Amen

Forgiveness in The Scriptures

The word of God offers us guidance on how to forgive our neighbors, and ourselves.

"Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.""[Matthew 18:21-22]

Powerful Marriage Prayer and Prayer Request

Here, we offer a marriage prayer for those who are experiencing marital troubles. As humans, we are imperfect and that goes as well for the relationships we form.
It is right to ask God for help in troubled times.

Prayers to Help a Failing Marriage

From the beginning, God meant for man and woman to be together, joined in holy matrimony. “It is not good than man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him”. But, just because it is God’s will does not mean it is always easy.
Use this marriage prayer if you need God’s help and guidance to heal a failing marriage.

Prayer to Restore a Marriage

Heavenly Father, I come before you today with a heavy heart; my marriage is in trouble, and I need your help. Make changes in my spouse's heart. Make us compatible again, and bring us closer together. Fill us with your love and give us the strength to love one another, care for one another, and fulfill your destiny for us.
Show us the harm caused by careless words, and the pain caused by emotional distance. Bring us together, like we once were. Show us how to love one another again.
Heal the division between us. Make us one again.
In your name I pray, Amen.

Prayer to Reunite with Spouse

This is a prayer asking God for help reuniting with a husband or wife. Through life’s difficulties, God is always there to help guide the one’s we love, back into our arms.

Prayer to bring Back Lost Love

Please pray that my heart's desire be granted, the return of the love of my life, my one true love. I pray that my spouse may have healed his wounds from the past and forgiven all that has gone wrong.
Lord, help my husband (wife) be able to follow his heart to his desire and love for me and permanently return to me to be forever reconciled as one, as husband and wife.
Amen

Scripture About Marriage

"And he said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."[Mark 10:11-12]

Command the Morning Prayers

God expects us to exercise dominion over spirits, men, and forces of nature. If you are a victim
of the manipulation of the heavenly forces, praying as if you are blind-folded will not change
the situation.
For example, if someone has raised an altar against your life in the vicinity of the stars,
you cannot deal with such attacks by just simply going for deliverance. Some people, however, do,
receive full deliverance from earth-bound demons. You must learn how to fight back by using exactly
the same weapons. God has given us authority and dominion over the works of Satan’s hands, and He
has put all things under our feet. That includes powers, principalities, the heavenlies, the morning,
the sun, moon, and stars (Psalm 8:3-6; Hebrews 2:6-8). Therefore, we are called to command our
mornings and shake wickedness out of our day (Job 38: 12-13).

How to Pray

In the broadest sense, to pray is to make a request in a humble manner.^[1] The term to pray is now often used to refer to religious prayers: to commune with a spirit or deity that you believe in. While the rituals and conventions of prayer may vary widely, the intention is the same--to renew one's spiritual connection with a power outside themselves.

Method 1 : When, Where & Why

1.Take the time to pray. No matter how you pray or who you pray to, it can be difficult to find time for prayer during busy times. One way to deal with this is to make prayer part of your daily routine, such as praying as soon as you wake up in the morning, right before you go to sleep, or before every meal. There is no wrong time to pray.

Many people pray during emotional times, like when they feel sad, scared, or happy. You can pray at any time of day, and as much or as little as you feel is sufficient for your spiritual life. Some people make it their goal to maintain a state of prayer all the time by remaining conscious of their spiritual connection throughout the day.
Observant Jews pray 3 times a day (Shacharit, Minchah, and Arvith) and Muslims pray 5 times a day.^[2] Still others pray completely spontaneously, when the mood calls or when certain occasions arise (for one's parents, before a meal, etc.). In short, do what you feel compelled to do.

2.Find a good spot to pray. You will find that you can pray anytime, anywhere, anyhow. It may help to be in a place where the focus is on spirituality (such as a church or temple) or where the environment reminds you of your spiritual bond (like a natural setting, or a spot with a big view). You can choose to pray in the presence of others, or you can pray privately.

For some religions, like Buddhism, meditation is a standard form of prayer (or, sometimes, prayer is a standard form of meditation). Finding a place where you can quiet yourself and feel connected to your spirituality is an equally respectable form of prayer. Whether an open field or a bowing congregation zens you, find your "place of worship."

3.Know your purpose. Often, prayer accompanies a ritual, giving purpose to the prayer. It can be a lengthy fire-burning ceremony offering sacrifices to ensure good luck the coming season or it can be a simple, thoughtful utterance in thanks for a meal. It does not have to ask, plead, question or thank; all it must do is appreciate.

Prayer can be a conversation, but it certainly doesn't have to be. Some religions relish prayer as an opportunity for intellectual contemplation. In addition, prayer does not have to have anything to do with you. Roman Catholic tradition includes specific prayers and devotions as "acts of reparation," or amending others' sins.^[3]
Once you know why you're praying, is there anyone specific you're thinking of to talk to? If you are looking to have a dialogue, who with?

4. Understand that prayer does not have to involve crafted, reflective silence. It can be virtually anything. Song and dance have long been parts of many religions' repertoires of prayer. Even some Christians pray while exercising their body!^[4]

Whatever gets you closer to your spirituality, your God, can be an activity of prayer. If a runner's high gets you there, fantastic. If curled up in your sheets does, great. You can scream at the top of your lungs and dart for the hilltops if it makes you appreciative, full of wonder, or thankful.

Method 2 : The Act of Prayer

1. Get into your prayer position. This depends on the belief you have, if any. Sometimes expressing your thoughts physically can make the experience more complete. People vary in how they position themselves during prayer: sitting, kneeling, lying down on the floor, hands folded, clasped, or raised high, holding hands with other people, head bowed, dancing, prostrating, whirling, swaying, and so on. Some people even pray with their eyes open; and some closed.

Every religious person has beliefs that feel right for them. What feels right for you? In addition to thinking about the position of your body, consider the position of your body in space. Some religions believe in facing a certain direction during the act of prayer (toward Mecca, for example). If there's a spiritual place in your life, consider its place relative to you.

2. Prepare for praying. Dependent upon your belief, you may have a ritual way to prepare for praying. You may find that it gets you in the right mindset. Prepare in whichever way you feel is comfortable or appropriate.

All around the world, people are washing, anointing with oil, ringing bells, burning incense or paper, lighting candles, facing specific directions, making the sign of the cross, or fasting. Sometimes the preparation is directed by someone else, such as a spiritual friend, a group prayer leader, or a teacher of your beliefs. It can be in the few minutes beforehand (such as washing or the sign of the cross) or it can be for days or even weeks (in the case of fasting).
Many religions take your appearance into account. Certain clothes are deemed appropriate or inappropriate for prayerful gatherings. If for some reason you find your current dress distracting, opt for a presentation that is more reminiscent of you and your spirituality.

3. Begin the prayer. You can pray by speaking out loud, thinking, singing, etc. Some prayers are recited from memory or read from a book, while other prayers are more like conversations. You may open the prayer by calling on the God(s) or Deity(s) you are praying to, and asking for help (or whatever your intention).

There is no wrong way to go about it. If a memorized prayer or chant delivers the point of your intended message, there is no need to go about searching for words. But if you have a specific thought, question, or concern in mind, any informal dialogue counts just as much.

4. Make the request, ask the question, or just make your voice heard. You can ask for answers, seek strength, send good wishes to others, or give thanks. Perhaps the most basic forms of prayer are requests for help in becoming a good (or better) person, and requests that your deity(s) direct your prayer.

There is no length of time necessary for a prayer. After all, the big guy upstairs (or one of the big guys (girls)) would certainly appreciate even a "Hey, thanks!"
Clearing your mind and becoming silent can be a useful part of prayer. Don't feel the need to be constantly thinking, talking, or listening for messages. You may find a clearer mind that has the answers in contemplative silence.

5. End the prayer. Some people end or close the prayer with a special word, phrase or a gesture, or simply by standing or sitting in silence for a minute or two, or saying "Amen."

You'll know when your prayer is complete. Remove yourself, still reflectively, from your position or location and go about your day, a little more spiritually than before.

PRAYING AND FASTING

Fasting is a sacred time in which Christians abstain from food, or other pleasures, and take the time to focus on God. If you are interested in focusing your life around God, while feeding the poor, deepening your faith -- read on and find out how!

Before the Fast

1. Hold the right motives. Note that fasting as a Christian means to humble yourself before Him. It is a way to glorify our Lord. Keep these aspects in mind while you fast. Don't confuse this with any other reasons for fasting such as weight loss, etc. Center it around Jesus.
2 .PRAY before your fast. Pray, confessing every one of your sins, and inviting the Holy Spirit to lead your life. Let Jesus know you wish to know Him personally. Acknowledge that He lived without sin, died in our place, on the cross for our sins and rose 3 days later, freeing us from condemnation, and giving us His free gift of eternal life. Humble yourself to ask forgiveness from everyone you have hurt; ask forgiveness from God. Forgive those who have hurt you. You do not want to enter into a fast holding grudges, carrying envy, pride, anger or hurt. The enemy will try to use those things to distract you from your fast.
3. Meditate on the Gospel, and on the Holy traits of our Lord. These may include the ability to forgive, His strength or wisdom, His peace, the capacity to love unconditionally, etc. Praise Him for these attributes! Surrender your life and thank Him for all He has done for you!
4. Determine the length of your fasting experience, whether this is for 1 meal, 1 day, 3 days or a week (Jesus and Moses fasted for a period of 40 days, but that is no sign that anyone else might do that). You may wish to try a shorter fast, and start slowly at first, if you have not previously fasted. You can also pray and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you how long you should fast.
5. Note the type of fast you are being called to. You may feel that the Holy Spirit calls you to a specific type of fast. A partial fast may mean giving up only certain types of foods. Juice fasts remove the pleasure of chewing any type of solid food, yet fruit and vegetable juices are permitted.
6. Drink enough water to support life, since it is not a food, observing this Absolute Caution: In an absolute fast one abstains from solid and liquid "foods" -- for example, fruit juices are foods -- but, water is essential for life much as breathing, as one may go into a foggy mental state, then coma and die after a mere 4 or 5 days of dehydration.

During the Fast

1. Hold morning worship. Worship Him and praise Him for His attributes. Read God’s Word, and meditate that God will lend me His Wisdom, so that I can input His Word into my life, and I can gain a fuller understanding of it. Pray for God’s Will to be done, and for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Ask God to lead you in spreading His Glory into the world we live in.
2. Go for a prayer walk. Walk outside, hand in hand with nature, while noticing God’s wondrous creation. Thank Him for everything He has created as you walk. Ask Him to give you a spirit of thanksgiving and appreciation.
3. Pray for the welfare of others. Pray for church leaders to preach His Word as God intended, so that your friends and family members will grow closer to Him or accept Him into their lives; pray for government leaders to come to Him, and ask Him for His Will.

Breaking (after) the Fast

1. Avoid gorging, as one of the recommended ways to return to a regular eating habit after fasting.
2. Gradually add in a raw salad the first day of breaking your fast.
3. The 2nd day, add a baked potato, avoiding any fat or salt on the potato.
4. The 3rd day, add a steamed vegetable. Afterwards, progressively initiate additional foods into your eating.
