Bob Perry Prayer

Welcome to our July prayer focus for “Greater Health, God’s Way!”

One of the greatest gifts we have is the ability to make choices for health and healing, starting with what we put in our bodies and the environment around us.

3 John 2 says:

“Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.”

Let’s pray,

Heavenly Father, thank you for your healing stream that flows through every part of our lives.

Give us wisdom and a fresh desire to care for our bodies and purify what we take in.

Create in us a longing to drink more water, and may it work in a supernatural way, refreshing and cleansing every organ in our body.

Help us avoid harmful chemicals, choose clean, wholesome foods, and choose safe everyday products.

May the Lord bless us with healthier cookware, discarding any nonstick and aluminum pans, using cast iron, stainless steel, ceramic, or glass pans.

Guide us to simple changes—filtering our water, avoiding plastic bottles, and filling our homes with fresh air.

Make our hearts resilient, our bodies strong, and our minds clear.

We trust you to renew our youth, restore our energy, and fill us with hope for the days ahead. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Action Step:

Drink at least 8 cups of clean, filtered water today out of glass cups or stainless steel water containers.

My Blessing:

You are royally blessed and highly favored—refreshed, restored, and recreated anew. May God give you life, light, liberty, and lightheartedness with a fresh start today!

Welcome to another Monday’s prayer focus in July for “Greater Health, God’s Way!”

Our prayer for you is rooted in the beautiful blessing of 3 John 2:

“Beloved friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and that you continually enjoy good health, just as your soul is prospering.”

Amy and I are joining our hearts, lifting you up for God’s goodness, health, peace, and prosperity to overflow in every part of your life this week.

Psalm 103:5 promises that God “satisfies your years with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

May you find fresh strength in mind, body, and spirit. Walk, stretch, breathe, and rejoice—God delights in your well-being!

Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of our body. Your Word says you renew our youth like the eagle’s, and we ask you to fill us with a greater desire to steward our health for practical longevity and healing, productive years ahead for us.

Give us fresh motivation and strength to exercise, even when we don’t feel like it. Help us discover simple joys in different types of exercises, as well as the basics found in walking, stretching, and deep breathing.

Let every bit of movement bring health, energy, and longevity to our lives.

May our heart, mind, and body thrive as we honor you with daily movement. Use our renewed strength for your glory. Amen.

Action Step:

Take at least one 10-minute walk today, especially helpful after any lunch or dinner meals.

My blessing, Our Blessing:

You are royally blessed and highly favored—may strength, healing, and vitality overflow in you today.

Welcome to a friendly reminder of “Greater Health, God’s Way!” Today is a mental health day. Our focus is on experiencing release from past shame, condemnation, anxiety, and fear.

Psalm 103 reminds us that our God forgives us, and He wants us to forgive ourselves. The Hebrew verb for “forgive” means to lift, carry away, and erase—a fresh new start.

Are you carrying guilt or regret? Don’t let yesterday’s failures weigh you down or today’s fears cause anxiety.

God is quick to forgive and always ready to set you free. When you receive His forgiveness, you’re released to be a peacemaker, encourager, and a positive force in your family and workplace.

No more condemnation—just fresh starts and freedom in Christ. No more fear.

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for forgiving every sin, every failure, every regret—nothing is too heavy for you to lift.

No fear or concern can overwhelm us in your presence. Wash us clean today. We welcome a fresh new start.

Help us walk in the freedom of your grace to enter into a new level of acceptance of ourselves and inner calm. Release us from shame and let your forgiveness overflow in us and through us.

Restore tranquility, hope, joy, energy, and confidence deep within us.

Let us enter a new level of rest instead of frustration or unrest.

Bring your comfort into our hearts, souls, and minds. Guide us with your assurance in every conversation and project.

Empower us by your Spirit to forgive ourselves and others, and to encourage ourselves and those around us with kind, uplifting words. We receive your grace and new mercies today. Amen.

Action Step

Forgive yourself for one thing you’ve been holding against yourself. Then, extend that same grace to someone at work or in your life who needs an uplifting open hand of blessing.

You are royally blessed and highly favored of the Lord—forgiven, cleansed, and filled with God’s love, serenity, and hope.

Welcome to another week of “Greater Health, God’s Way!” Our focus in prayer for you this month comes from Apostle John, who wrote in 3 John 2

Dear friends, I pray that you may prosper in every way and enjoy good health, even as your soul prospers.

So, Amy and I agree in prayer for that to be in your life.

May God’s favor, wisdom, and wellness overflow in your life and business

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for every good and perfect gift—especially this month, as we focus on Greater Health, God’s ways. We pray for the food that sustains and strengthens us.

Fill us with your wisdom to choose what brings true life and vibrant health. Break every craving for processed, artificial foods, and teach us to delight in the nourishing, whole foods you created.

May every meal at our tables be a celebration of your goodness and a reminder of your faithfulness to provide.

Bless those who gather with us, and let our fellowship be marked by gratitude, laughter, and peace.

Restore our energy and renew our youth as we honor you with our choices. Help us say no to what harms and yes to what heals, so we may live long, productive lives, serving well, and reflecting your glory in body, mind, and spirit.

Thank you for satisfying our desires with good things. Amen

Today’s health challenge: Skip processed and fast foods. Choose more wholesome options than usual. Look for foods with fewer than five ingredients—and if your great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize something on the label, leave it out.

Friend, you’ve got this! Greater Health, God’s Way is possible for you.

My Blessing:

You are royally blessed and highly favored—may your body be fueled with God’s very best today and always. Amen.

Welcome to our July “Greater Health, God’s Way” prayer focus! Psalm 103:2-5 encourages us not to forget the incredible gifts God offers—His forgiveness, healing, fresh strength, purpose, and abundant favor.

The world’s noise can drown out God’s peace, but Psalm 103 says He “crowns you with love and compassion.”

Chronic stress wrecks the body and spirit. In 2026, science and Scripture agree: true health starts with a peaceful heart.

God invites you to lay down anxiety and receive His shalom. Inner peace is a choice and a practice—quiet walks, deep breaths, and sweet moments in His Word and Soaking Worship restore your soul and even lower your blood pressure and bad cholesterol.

Let us pray,

Heavenly Father, you are the Prince of Peace.

Quiet the storms in my heart and mind and in my home and at work.

Release anxiety, tension, and fear from my body.

Break in Jesus' name any generational patterns of worry, fear, dread, and anxiety.

Fill me with your calm presence, rivers of living water, waves of peace and hope.

Teach me to rest in your promises and trust your goodness.

Let your love and compassion crown my days. Fill me with Bible hope.

Show me how to walk in daily gratitude and practice peace.

May a new confidence flow in and out of me that my God has a future and hope for me.

May your tranquility flow into my home and work. Amen.

Our Action Step:

Take five minutes today to practice deep, slow breathing while meditating on God’s goodness and kindness for you, so you can add gentle, relaxing moments and movements to the inhales and exhales of calm, peaceful breaths. If possible, during a nice Summer morning.

My Blessing:

You are royally blessed and highly favored—may God’s peace guard your heart and mind today. I bless you with His shalom, His grace, and peace be with you.

Welcome to our July “Greater Health, God’s Way” prayer focus! Psalm 103:2-5 calls us to remember God’s benefits—forgiveness, healing, renewed strength, purpose, and favor.

In this summer of 2026, with stress and busyness all around, we need a plan, prayer, and God’s wisdom to live healthy, productive, and fruitful lives.

Your body is God’s vessel for blessing. When you honor Him with your health, you open doors to greater impact at work and beyond.

Let’s see health as purpose, stewardship, and worship. God wants wholeness—mind, body, and spirit—so you can serve, create, and love at your best.

Let’s pray,

Heavenly Father, thank you for creating me—body, soul, and spirit.

Forgive me where I’ve neglected your temple.

Fill me with wisdom and strength to make the second half of 2026 my healthiest season in years.

Help me see longevity as a gift and calling—spiritually, mentally, financially, and physically.

Teach me to steward my energy, habits, and daily choices.

Break every curse of premature death, confusion, or self-sabotage.

Renew me in every way and let your healing power flow through my life. Crown me with favor, and guide me by your Spirit into greater wholeness, every single day. Amen.

Our Action Step:

Write down your vision for health—how you want to look, feel, and live—for God, your family, and your calling.

My Blessing:

You are royally blessed and highly favored—healthy, strong, wise, and radiant.

Happy Birthday, United States of America. Let us pray,

Heavenly Father, Almighty God,

On this 250th birthday of the United States of America, as intercessors, prayer warriors, and believers, we humble ourselves and pray..

We pray the theme verse for our generation—2 Chronicles 7:14.

Lord, we confess our sins and the sins of our land—our pride, our divisions, our failures to love and honor you and one another.

Holy God, we repent of our past and present mistakes as a nation, and ask that your mercy cover them. Pour out your forgiveness, Lord, and let your healing sweep across every heart, every home, and our homeland.

Let mercy triumph over judgment.

Heal our land, O God—bring unity where there is division, hope where there is despair, and love where there is hatred.

Guide our leaders with wisdom, our families with forgiveness, our churches with passion, and our communities with compassion.

We dedicate, consecrate, and commit our lives and this United States of America to you—for the glory of the Lamb, Jesus Christ.

May America shine as a beacon of hope, liberty, and justice for all nations. Protect our defenders, comfort the hurting, and use us as instruments of your peace.

By your Spirit, let revival begin with us. We trust you for a new day—a great, glorious awakening.

To God be the glory. Amen.

Bonus Thankful Friday Prayer: For more than four decades, the prayer of Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:10 has shaped my journey, ever since Pastor Dick Mills urged me to pray it daily.

Jabez in the Bible stands as a model of holy ambition—he wasn’t content with the status quo. He dared to ask for more from God: more blessings, greater influence, lasting protection, and a legacy that would impact his generation and beyond.

We celebrate freedom in Christ and the freedom to boldly approach our Father with big prayers. Let’s recapture that vision—to become strong, vibrant men and women of prayer who believe God for the impossible and expect His goodness in every area of life.

Let’s pray,

Lord God, we thank You for the example of Jabez—more honorable than his brothers, not because of pedigree or privilege, but because he dared to ask for more.

Thank you for a man who refused to settle, who was not satisfied with simply blending in, but longed for change that would shape his generation. In the midst of a sea of names, you highlighted Jabez.

You honored his request. Lord, let us be people who are willing to step out, stand up, and cry for more of You.

We remember Jabez’s prayer: “Oh Lord, bless me indeed.”

Thank you that he was not embarrassed or ashamed to ask. He did not let false humility or a religious spirit hold him back.

Jabez recognized you as the God of abundance, the same God who rescued Israel, who gave Your people all they needed and more.

Just as you moved the hearts of the Egyptians to give their riches to departing slaves, you are still the God whose generosity knows no bounds.

Lord, we echo Jabez’s boldness. Bless us, indeed—not for selfish gain, but so we can be a blessing to others and bring you glory. Expand our hearts to desire all you have for us.

“And enlarge my territory.” Father, we long for greater influence, for more of your kingdom to flow through our lives.

Jesus, place us where we can make a difference.

Holy Spirit, give us visions and divine connections.

Propel us, not by striving, but by Your perfect timing—Kairos moments that open doors no man can shut. Let us not be bound by Kronos, by worldly limitations, or the pressure to hustle and strive.

May multiplication and promotion come from you, O God.

Lord, as you enlarge our territory, keep us humble and dependent on you.

Father God, we don’t ask for more so we can boast in our own strength, but so your power can be made perfect in our weakness.

May your hand be upon us—guiding, protecting, providing, and encouraging.

Let us bear your fingerprint everywhere we go, leaving the imprint of Christ in every interaction.

“Keep us from evil.” Hide us in Your secret place, Lord. Let us dwell under the shadow of the Almighty, so secure in you that the enemy cannot find us.

Jesus, as we abide in you, the Vine, remind us that our true victory is in your presence, not in works. The enemy is defeated, and we rest in your finished work.

Lord, this prayer is bold—even audacious—but it is rooted in confidence in your goodness. We declare that what you did for Jabez, you can do in our generation.

Awaken us to pray daring prayers, bold, confident prayers—for your kingdom to come and your will to be done in our lives, our families, our workplace, our communities, and our nation.

Do it again, Lord. Pour out blessing, expand our borders, keep your hand upon us, and shield us from harm.

Make us strong, vibrant, healthy, energetic, thankful legacy people for this generation and the next.

We thank you, Lord, for answered prayers—past, present, and future.

In Your holy and precious name, Jesus, amen.

Happy July 1st, friend! What an incredible journey these past 30 days have been as we’ve prayed the prayer of Jabez together.

Today isn’t just the end of a challenge—it’s the start of a new season.

Remember, God works in seasons, and He’s always ready to do something fresh and unexpected in our lives.

Don’t look back with regret or settle for yesterday’s blessings.

Let’s stay open, stay expectant, and trust that God is making pathways in the wilderness and rivers in the dry places.

This new month is a doorway to more—more favor, more joy, and more of God’s goodness.

Get ready—something new is on the horizon!

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for guiding us through these 30 days of prayer and growth.

As we step into this new month, we leave behind old disappointments and open our hearts to a fresh work.

May the God of miracles, signs, and wonders reveal new mysteries in the second half of 2026.

Lord, as you promised in Isaiah 43:19, do a new thing in our lives—make a way where there seems to be no way.

Help us stay open to your leading and trust that every closed door is making room for greater blessings.

Fill us with hope, faith, and joyful expectation for what’s ahead.

Let your favor and goodness flow into our lives, relationships, and work in this new season.

Jesus, we commit the next six months to you.

We consecrate this new season to you, for your glory and honor.

Amen.

Welcome to day 30 of our pursuit of God! What a wonderful month it’s been—so many stories of salvation, reconciliation, healing, provision, and God’s hand of protection and guidance.

Let’s press in together on this final day of our annual June Jabez Prayer Challenge.

Today, we’re linking arms with believers all over the world and finishing strong with the simple, focused prayer that’s changed countless lives:

“God of Israel, bless me indeed, enlarge my territory, may your hand be upon me, and keep me from pain.” And God granted his request.

Whether you’ve prayed this every day or are just discovering its power, let’s make it our heart’s cry—trusting that Papa God’s heart and hands are wide open toward us with kindness and generosity.

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for these thirty days of seeking your face together.

As we step into what’s next, bless us indeed—pour out your favor and your goodness.

Enlarge our hearts, our influence, and our capacity to receive, love, and serve others.

Walk with us every step; may your presence be unmistakable in our homes, workplaces, and communities.

Keep us from harm—physical, emotional, financial, and relational.

Let your hand be upon us, guiding, protecting, and strengthening.

Lord God, our Shepherd, let the blessing of Numbers 6 rest on all who’ve journeyed with us: May your face shine upon us and be gracious to us; lift up our countenance, give us supernatural grace and peace, and let your joy be our strength.

Amen.

As we close this 30-day journey, I want to thank my co-author, Dr. Amy Lykosh, who helped write Seek for Glory: Praying the Prayer of Jabez, first in 2022 and again this year in an updated edition. Whether you’ve journeyed with us for years or just joined in, Amy Joy and I are honored to pray for you—morning, day, and night.

And now, as many priests and pastors have done for centuries, we speak this blessing:

May the peace of God, which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. And the blessing of God Almighty—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—be among you and remain with you always.

Amen.
