High Energy Uplifting Prayer to the Lord!

I will clap my hands! I will shout to God with joyful praise! For the Lord Most High is awesome. He is the great King of all the earth. He subdues the nations before me, putting my enemies beneath my feet. He chose the Promised Land as my inheritance, the proud possession of Jacob’s descendants, whom he loves.

Lord thank You for my personal Promised Land.

Fighting this spiritual battle in order to conquer the land has drawn me closer to You. Thank You for being right by my side. I clap my hands as a gesture of praise to Your great name for all You have done. I could never ever repay You and the sacrifices that have been made on my behalf.

You have been nothing but awesome to me. I clap my hands, rejoicing because I have the Victory.

Lord, I realize that what is for me, is for me. How You want to bless me, Lord, I’ll be satisfied. No one or nothing can ever halt the plan that You have for my life. I may struggle a bit along the way, but I will shout to You, O God with joyful praise.

Shout to You with joyful praise!

I shall sing praises to my God, sing praises; sing praises to my King, sing praises! For God, You are the King over all the earth. You reign above the nations, sitting on Your holy throne.

I will praise You Lord! I will praise my God in Your sanctuary; I will praise You in Your mighty heaven! I will praise You for Your mighty works; I will praise Your unequaled greatness! I will sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Clap, Shout, and Sing – This is what I do because You are God!

This I pray in Jesus’ Name. Not my will but Your will be done. For Your Glory! Amen.

When there are tests and trials and heart wrenching struggles, there is room for God to move. Counting it all joy is looking ahead to a better day. Its saying, “If I’m this low now, just think about how high God can elevate the circumstances of my life.”

James 1:2-4 (NLT), a very familiar passage of Scripture says,
2 Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. 3 For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4 So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

Count it ALL joy. Wow! This seems virtually impossible. A word that has been interchanged with count is the word consider. To consider it an opportunity for great joy is to think ahead or to look ahead. When there are tests and trials and heart wrenching struggles, there is room for God to move. Counting it all joy or considering it an opportunity for great joy is looking ahead to a better day. It’s saying, “If I’m this low now, just think about how high God can elevate the circumstances of my life.”

In the midst of our trials, we have the gift of looking ahead to the joy of watching God work it for good. We can watch Him settle a situation or reverse circumstances. We can watch Him wipe the slate clean. If He did it before, He can do it again.

NOT ON MY WATCH will I give Satan any satisfaction of seeing me stay down. Yes! I may have fallen and appeared to have been weakened at the onset of what He meant for evil in my life, but I’m dusting the dirt from off of my feet and getting back up again. Why? Because under the watchful care of God, everything is going to be alright. God is the God of the impossible who can give me double for my trouble. He will, as Job said, allow me to come forth as gold.

Job 23:10 (NLT) says,
“But he knows where I am going.
And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.

This approach of looking ahead gives us a different perspective. We are not to focus on the moment, the pain of what’s happening right now, but we have the opportunity for great joy when we look at it as a chance to watch God work. We can witness first hand, from a front seat view, His miraculous power in our lives.

I see You God! You’re moving in the unseen. You’re working it all for good.

Psalms 16:8 (NLT) says,
I know the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

I don’t know about you, but I am determined to not let Satan win. When I become weak, I will reach toward heaven to the One who is the supplier of all my strength. I may have looked defeated on yesterday, but a new day has come. New mercies are mine. Satan will not get any satisfaction in seeing me crumble and give up in this fight; not on my watch.

I’m making a decision to…

James 4:7 (NLT) says,
So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Let us think ahead to a better day and say and believe, “Not on my watch. Satan, you get no satisfaction over here!”

(Available When God Says So – Listen and Pray Along)

Lord, I come to You this day, not for my own needs, but for those of others who do not understand the necessity to know You. I intercede on behalf of those who have yet to find the path that leads to freedom through Christ Jesus. For individuals who have uttered the words, “I won’t do it!” or “I can’t do it!”, I humbly request that You would break down their stubborn will and open their heart to a better way.

Heavenly Father, I pray for their willingness and ability to see the darkness that surrounds them and for an understanding to emerge within their souls to where they want to follow You. Create within them, Elohim, God, Mighty Creator, a desire to be willing to answer the call and say, “I want to do it!”

Give them faith outside of themselves in the only One that can bring about change and deliverance. For it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to You must believe that You exist, O God, and that You reward those who sincerely seek You.

Even when they don’t understand the why, when and how, of it all, help them to pursue You and ask the question “How do I do it?” Lord, help them to say, “I believe! I’ll try to do it.”

Lord, once their heart has been opened and they become receptive to hearing Your voice, I will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. Let my words be that of encouragement that will lead to their cry for help and their self-confessed decision that says, “I can do it!”

Let their cry be, “I repent of my sins and turn to God, so that my sins may be wiped away. I believe, I receive, and I have been redeemed!”

For it is by believing in their heart that they are made right with You, O God, and it is by openly declaring their faith that they are saved. You have made the way easy.

Lord, help their unbelief. Give them a made up mind to get and to stay in the fight. Change is coming in their mind, heart, and soul, and within everything around them within the life you’ve given, if they will simply say, “I will do it!”

They can have SUCCESS in Christ Jesus. You are the way to life. Help them to step in to the marvelous light.

As they say, “Lord, help!” and cry in their trouble, save them from their distress. Lead them from the darkness and deepest gloom; and snap their chains. Let them praise You Lord for Your great love and for the wonderful things You have done for them.

I boldly pray this prayer for my own son and for those who need these steps to life.

This I pray in Jesus’ Name. Not my will but Your will be done. For Your Glory! Amen.

13 “Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.

he snapped their chains.
15 Let them praise the Lord for his great love
and for the wonderful things he has done for them.

God says speak. Some may want to put a voice to this message and others may choose to simply read. My job: to be obedient to the voice of God.

If it’s not one thing, it’s another.

Preface: I believe that God wants to use me through prayer and encouragement through my hard times to encourage others. Yes, God’s Word is enough all by itself, but we must also know how to practically make it through this journey; applying that Word to our individual circumstances. It (life, that is) is really hard sometimes and I believe that we need to honestly express that so that others will know that, “Hey, I’m not alone. She’s a follower of Christ or he’s a follower of Christ, but yet they have struggles, too. So, how do they make it through? What’s different about them? What do they hold on to in times of distress?” We need to know how to war and fight against the daily, and sometimes moment-by-moment attacks that come against us.

I never want my story to glorify Satan, but to rather, show in love, how God reaches down and rescues me. How sometimes I need His hand of mercy to shine forth in greater ways during different seasons of my walk with Christ. Do you know how I know that I am really starting to do what God has for me to do? Satan is attempting to make his appearance close to the finish line. But you know what? I already crossed the line when I accepted Jesus as my Savior. His attempts and his strategies that he uses to say, “Hey, look over here. Look at me instead of God.”, I am able to counteract his plan through prayer. So, I now proceed with my story…

Looking up at 6:17 pm, leaning forward on the couch, not really sure when I was going to settle down for the day; worn out, head spinning, thoughts of unrest, even  at the moment of originally writing this, were clouding my mind.

Fast forward to today.

Unfortunately, this was my past Saturday. Even after I posted “You Can Make it Through”, what was I attempting to do within my own day? Make it through! Hence the whole need and urgency to encourage myself in the Lord. Go figure. Laugh out loud, but not really! LOL

I woke up that morning neatly aligning my Bible, study books, and writing supplies, all geared up for some quality time spent with the Lord. Those moments sometimes get away from me due to distractions. Don’t you know that often our well intended plans get disrupted?

Intending for it to be a day of rest, somehow things got completely off track. It’s not so much that what was happening was horrible in the real earth shattering type of way, because boy have I experienced those horrid filled days, but things just kept occurring back-to-back to keep my focus off of God. That same underlying distraction that gnaws at the strings of my heart, had resurfaced, again! Worry was taking over my whole day.

Unfortunately, the enemy, Satan, does know how to distract us. He knows what causes us to stop thinking on the goodness of God and to start thinking about life and our struggles in it, such as they are. He definitely has attempted to perfect his number one game plan; to steal, kill, and destroy. That includes our joy and strength and just our overall purpose and reason to not look back but finish the process. Those are not just mere words that you read a lot on this blog, but a message that God desires that I get across to anyone who happens to continually read these words. So many are simply throwing in the towel because, unless you have some real perseverance and some fight in you to see this through to the finish line, that option can appear to be a viable one.

My own personal struggles this particular Saturday lead me to stop in the moment and say,

“God, I need Your help. Settle my thoughts and help me to learn to live above my circumstances.“

Reviewing my day in my mind got me to thinking. Do you know what God spoke into my heart? Obedience does not mean instant deliverance. This warrants some special effects.

I say that because I believe that I have entered the way of obedience to the plans that God has specifically for me, and is steadily continuing to reveal to me each day.  I have made steps of faith and have made Him my focus. Yet, most times I still feel as though I am in a dry desert land. The wilderness that I so long to be free of, yet surrounds me each day. Despite that, I am determined to keep my eye on the prize and allow God to continue to move in my life and elevate me above my circumstances. He is my hiding place. He protects me from trouble and surrounds me with songs of victory.

Psalms 32:7-8 (NLT) says,
7 For you are my hiding place;
you protect me from trouble.
You surround me with songs of victory.
8 The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.

You see, God is able to allow you and I to see the blue sky, and to rise above the chaos of our days. In spite of what may be going on around us, still in the thick of it all, He will allow us to feel His presence. He will provide us with joy because we find it in knowing that He is with us. That’s what’s different about us. We have the joy of the Lord. So even when our circumstances try to drag us down, we have joy in knowing that we are not alone. Like the hot air balloon in the picture above, we can find ourselves slowly, but surely, flying high above the clouds. We can experience the true peace of God. It can be storming beneath the clouds, but we can rest in Him.

But let me also say that our feelings, most times, are still playing catch up with our reality, but we mustn’t let them get the best of us.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) is there to remind us,
6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

So, today, regardless of what obstacles came about on Saturday, I am reassured within my soul that I can experience God’s peace and live above my circumstances.

The joy of the Lord, it really is my strength. The joy of the Lord, it really can be your strength.

Our season of breakthrough and breakaway from the hand of the enemy is NOW! My prayer is,

“Lord, unblock the blockages that Satan has tried to put in my way that keeps Your already approved blessings from flowing my way.”

The closer I get, the faster the fluctuating feelings come, but I will make it to the finish line.

What is it that I need to do?

Live above my circumstances.

How do I get there?

I need the shift of prayer that will provide the air that I need to push me up and out of the mud and the mire.

Psalms 40:2-3 (NLT)  says,
2 He lifted me out of the pit of despair,
out of the mud and the mire.
He set my feet on solid ground
and steadied me as I walked along.
3 He has given me a new song to sing,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
They will put their trust in the Lord.

When I pray, He answers me and frees me from all my fears.

Psalms 34:4-6 (NLT) says,
4 I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me.
He freed me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy;
no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
6 In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened;
he saved me from all my troubles.

No matter what it feels like, call on the name of the Lord and He will answer. He will help you to live above your circumstances.

Heavenly father, I need you, O, I need you, every hour I need you, O bless me now, my Savior, I come to thee. (Shout out to Rachel D. Lyne. This song has been in my spirit since yesterday’s post.)

Lord, when I come to You, tired in my body, exhausted in my thought processing, frazzled in my soul, I know that I come to the God of my salvation who offers complete rest for me.

El Shaddai, God Almighty, I know that I am able to transfer all that I carry, upon Your shoulders, releasing the heaviness that this life attempts to outfit me in each day. From Your well, filled with unconditional love and grace and mercy, I am able to draw all the resources that I need.

As one of the many benefits offered to me, You so graciously maintain an open door policy, through Jesus Christ, which always and without reservation needed, allows me to lay my weight upon Your throne. When I come to You, in my weary condition, carrying these heavy burdens, You provide the accommodations and rest that is essential to me. When I take Your yoke upon me, You teach me, because You are humble and gentle at heart, and I will find rest for my soul. For Your yoke is easy to bear, and the burden You give me is light.

I praise You for Your provision of rest that covers me.

The oppression and bondage that Satan has attempted to lay across my life is lifted and replaced with Your bountiful rest. You offer a place of quiet repose; a bed of tranquility for my soul, where I am able to safely grant my head permission to fall upon the pillow of Your heart. In knowing full well that finishing this process and making the next steps of my journey will become less strenuous when I further attach myself to You, I find peace in Your arms of ease. Lord, I see in full view Your providential care that gives the comfort for which I am in pursuit.

Thank You Lord for taking good care of me.

Nothing of or within myself could supply what I need. What you offer to me in the new mercies I receive, shapes my life and causes me to be found clinging to You for every breath that I take.

You are the air that I breathe and the song that I sing.

Unless You, my Lord, builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless You, my Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries (watchmen) will do no good. It is useless for me to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for You, O God, gives rest to me.

You are truly all that I need. 

For Your Spirit has made me, and the breath of You, Almighty God, gives me life. God, You Lord, created the heavens and stretched them out. You created the earth and everything in it. You give breath to everyone, life to everyone who walks the earth. In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.

Lord, I am confident that I am able to comfortably rest in You, when I put my trust in Your reaffirmed faithfulness, this day.

Thank You for being the God of my rest.

This I pray in Jesus’ Name. Not my will but Your will be done. For Your Glory! Amen.

(Available When God Says So – Listen and Pray Along)

Lord, Your Word has been designed as an instrument for deliverance. It is complete, active and powered by You. It is enough and I am enough to confidently read and meditate on its truths. I feel Your power, while I utilize the Word of God in prayer, as I strive to connect with You. Let me lift You up so that others may feel Your presence and see You moving within their set of circumstances.

Lord, let Your Word do what it is intended to do.

You require nothing out of the ordinary of me, for I am special as I am, sufficient as You made me to be. For I am Your chosen child, still growing, still learning, still finishing my process, letting Your Word do what it was uniquely created for, fulfilling it’s purpose, and soothing every doubt that comes to destroy.

Heavenly Father, creator of all, grant me the mind that is required to study this Book of Instruction continually. I yearn to meditate on it day and night so I will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will I prosper and succeed in all that I do.

I consent to allowing self to die and giving way for Your Word to rise up in Victory!

For the Word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes my innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from You, God. Everything is naked and exposed before Your eyes, and You are the one to whom I am accountable.

Lord, I am never shaken when my eyes are on You.

All of the reasons why I feel ill-equipped to come to Your Word, is engraved null and void. The Bible is for me. The Bible is for now, and when my memory fails me, I am able to grab a hold of it, both in my hands and in my heart. It becomes alive on the pages and completes its intentional charge. It pierces my heart and when I am receptive to Your objective in that moment, Your Word, through the Holy Spirit, completes its designated purpose within me.

When I turn the light upon myself, my insecurities are laid bare for all to see. In those moments of shame and self-doubt, I find myself withdrawing and turning away from You. But when I rotate my attention and walk towards You, safely into the light that guides me from here to there, I begin to fall in line with the shadow of life that protects and covers me. You are reflected in all that I say and do, because I am cooperating and letting Your Word “do what it do”.

Your Word comes to authenticate my very existence. For in Your Word, I see myself; my frailty; my breakdown. But it comes to give me hope for a better way, one where Your love abides in every crack and crevice that I try to hide from You.

Your Word takes the shattered remnants of days past and unites the pieces to the puzzle of my life.

For I know You Lord are always with me. I will not be shaken, for You are right by my side. No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. I come to the realization that my feelings have no place at the table, if I’m going to let Your Word do what You will have it to do.

Let all that I am wait quietly before You, God, for my hope is in You. You alone are my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. My victory and honor come from You, O God, alone. You are my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.

As I come with a heart of gratitude and a sense of urgency within this prayer, let my words, which come to life by Your great power, encourage those who read or hear them.

“O my people, trust in Him at all times. Pour out your heart to Him, for God is our refuge.”

God, let Your Word do what You intended for it to do!

This I pray in Jesus’ Name. Not my will but Your will be done. For Your Glory! Amen.

When I walk through the fire of oppression, I will not be burned up; the flames will not consume me. No matter what it may feel like, if I keep my focus on You, I can make it through any obstacle that comes my way.

I will look ahead!

For You are about to do something new. See, You have already begun! I must see it through spiritual eyes. You will make a pathway through the wilderness. You will create rivers in the dry wasteland.

As Satan attempts to cause me to look through the magnifying glass over my past life, help me to look ahead and turn my focus towards You. When I look to You versus my problems, Your Glory is revealed. The things that I face are yet visible, but the remedy for them all becomes crystal clear in my view. I need not trust in what I see, but in You Almighty God who holds the key to my Overwhelming  Victory.

You—yes, You alone—will blot out my sins for Your own sake and will never think of them again. My job is to “Praise the Lord! For You, O Lord my God, the Almighty, reigns.”

When distractions come, I must look to the One who brings deliverance from all that Satan tries to bring against me. I know, O Lord, that I can come to You with all that I struggle with. You already know all about it and desire that I put my trust in You. You do not count it against me, but welcome my cry for help. For You, my mighty King, are a deliverer. Yes, and You Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into Your heavenly Kingdom. All glory to You, God, forever and ever! Amen.

Thank You Lord, this very day, this very hour, for deliverance!

For You Lord are the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. I thank You for freedom to come to You with my cares and for the joy of knowing that You, with precision and mindfulness of what I personally need, look after me. When I am weak, I am able to draw from the richness of Your glory and my strength is renewed. Life is life, and not always easy, but You provide a place of healing when I make You my focal point.

Forgive me if I have caused any to stray or for the times when my words have not uplifted You. Let my conversation be gracious and attractive so that I will have the right response for everyone.

Let everything that I do be to help another along this journey and to glorify You.

In those moments where I don’t absolutely get it right, let Your light shine beyond what someone may see in me. For Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”

This I pray in Jesus’ Name. Not my will but Your will be done. For Your Glory! Amen.

(Available When God Says So – Listen and Pray Along)

This prayer was used as a tool to minister to my son. Audio produced by him. God speaks. He gives us ways to meet others right where they are. Every step forward counts.

Lord, Thank You for being El Shaddai, God Almighty, who keeps me from falling. In You, I am made righteous, and with great joy You bring me into Your glorious presence without a single fault.

You are God alone, and before time began, You were on the throne, You are God alone.

All glory belongs to You, my Savior through Jesus Christ my Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are Yours before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! You are my sure foundation, my comforter and my hope, who never fails to receive me into Your loving arms, while I proceed in this journey toward and with You.

As I sit here connecting to Your Spirit through this prayer, my heart is re-energized to finish the process. When I feel a bit lost or cast down, You show me the way of life, granting me the joy of Your presence and the pleasures of living with You forever. On this journey, there is not a day that goes by when I do not need You. Faithfully, Your presence is consistently revealed.

For this, I give You praise.

Without reservation, I am time and time again afforded the opportunity to pour out my heart to You. In my honest disclosure, I come before Your presence sharing my fluctuating thoughts and abiding feelings that come as distractions along my path. Just the same, because of Your love for me, Your child, in those moments, Your Word comes to encourage me to hold tightly without wavering to the hope I affirm; for You, O God can be trusted to keep Your promise.

I do not walk this journey alone, You are always with me.

You, O Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. When discouragement comes and tries to linger within my heart, because You are by my side during every step of this journey, I have the benefit of calling out to You.

Help me God and look down and have mercy on me. Give Your strength to Your servant; save me.

Thank You Lord for giving me someone to lean on in times of need. I am blessed because I believed that You Lord would do what You said.

As I take delight in You Lord, You will give me my heart’s desires. I commit everything I do to You Lord. When I trust You, You provide Your help.

I shall never forget. I do not walk this journey alone, You are always with me. For this, I give You praise.

This I pray in Jesus’ Name. Not my will but Your will be done. For Your Glory! Amen.
