Jude 9 Warfare Prayer

shared by Elizabeth Gunter

True Holy Creator God, in the name of the True Lord Jesus Christ, in accordance with Jude 9, to all cosmics of darkness I say "The Lord rebuke you." True Holy Creator God move back all cosmic beings under your jurisdiction and forbid them to harass or interfere with Your Kingdom business in our life and family.

Prevent any darkness, of whatever rank, from being allowed to send any level of spiritual evil against me (my spirit, soul, and body) or my family, labor and livelihood, ministry, or possessions, my life and future, or God-envisioned truth for me. I am trusting you, my Sovereign God and Supreme Judge, to make it safe for me and my family in the name of the True Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior.

To all forces of darkness I say again in accordance with Jude 9, "The Lord rebuke you." True Holy Creator God, True Lord Jesus, and True Holy Spirit, come and fill every place with the fullness of you. Amen.

Morning Prayer

from several prayer books (many of them Anglican)

As we rejoice in the gift of this new day,
so may the light of your presence, O God,
set our hearts on fire with love for you;
now and for ever. Amen.

The Jesus Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me.

Dear Abba

by Brennan Manning, from "Dear Abba: Morning and Evening Prayer", pg. 83


Dear Abba,

Of all of the things I do today I want the one constant to be that I stay close to You and Your Word; not because I have to, but because I want to. Help me this day, Lord, to pray without ceasing. Not with head bowed and eyes closed, but with all my senses alert to Your abiding presence in which I live and move and have my being. I want to love You more, Jesus, because You first loved me.

Confession of Sin Prayer

From the Book of Common Prayer, Holy Eucharist II

Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will,
and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your Name.
Amen.

A Disciple's Renewal

from "The Valley of Vision", a collection of Puritan Prayers compiled by Arthur Bennett

O MY SAVIOUR,

Help me.
    I am so slow to learn,
      so prone to forget,
      so weak to climb;
I am in the foothills when I should be
    on the heights;
I am pained by my graceless heart,
  my prayerless days,
  my poverty of love,
  my sloth in the heavenly race,
  my sullied conscience,
  my wasted hours,
  my unspent opportunities.
I am blind while light shines around me:
  take the scales from my eyes,
  grind to dust the evil heart of unbelief.
Make it my chiefest joy to study thee,
  meditate on thee,
  gaze on thee,
  sit like Mary at thy feet,
  lean like John on thy breast,
  appeal like Peter to thy love,
  count like Paul all things dung.
Give me increase and progress in grace
    so that there may be
  more decision in my character,
  more vigour in my purposes,
  more elevation in my life,
  more fervour in my devotion,
  more constancy in my zeal.
As I have a position in the world,
  keep me from making the world my position;
May I never seek in the creature
  what can be found only in the Creator;
Let not faith cease from seeking thee
until it vanishes into sight.
  Ride forth in me, thou King of kings
    and Lord of lords,
  that I may live victoriously,
    and in victory attain my end.

Daily Prayer of Mother Teresa

DEAR JESUS, help me to spread Thy fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with Thy spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of Thine. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Thy presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others.
