PRAYER FOR SUCCESS OF BUSINESS
Father, Your Word says that I am a partaker of the inheritance and treasures of heaven. You have delivered me out of the authority of darkness and translated me into the kingdom of Your dear Son. Father, where Your Word is there is light and, also understanding. Your Word does not return to You void but always accomplishes what it is sent to do. I am joint-heir with Jesus and as Your son, I accept that the communication of my faith is effectual by the acknowledging of every good work which is in me in Christ Jesus. Father, I commit my works (plans and cares of my business) to You, entrust them wholly to You. Since You are effectually at work in me, You cause my thoughts to become agreeable with Your will, so that my business plans shall be established and succeed. In the name of Jesus, I submit to every kind of wisdom, practical insight and prudence which You have lavished upon me in accordance with the riches and generosity of Your gracious favor.

Lord, please reveal to them how much You love them. Overwhelm them with Your grace that they may be saved. Thank You, Lord, that Your plan and purpose for them will prevail. They will be saved!!

HEALING DAMAGED EMOTIONS (PTAM)
Father, in the name of Jesus, I come to You with a feeling of shame and emotional hurt. I confess my transgressions to You. You are faithful and just to forgive and cleanse me of all unrighteousness. Father, You have delivered me from the spirit of fear and I shall not be ashamed. Neither shall I be confounded and depressed. You gave me beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness that I might be a tree of righteousness. In the name of Jesus, I choose to forgive all those who have wronged me in any way. You will not leave me without support as I complete the forgiving process. When reality exposes shame and emotional pain, I remember that the sufferings of this present life are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to me and in me and for me and conferred on me! The chastisement needful to obtain my peace and well being was upon Jesus, and with the stripes that wounded Him I was healed and made whole. As Your child, Father, I have a joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
STRENGTH TO OVERCOME CARES AND BURDENS (PTAM)
Father, I submit myself to You. In the name of Jesus, I resist the devil and he will flee from me. I resist the cares of the world which try to pressure me daily. Jesus, I come to You, for I labor and am heavyladen and over burdened, and You cause me to rest-You will ease and relieve and refresh my soul. I cast my burden on You, Lord and You will sustain me; I thank You that You will never allow me the (consistency) righteous, to be moved-made to slip, fall or fail. In the name of Jesus, I withstand the devil. I am firm in my faith-rooted, established, strong, immovable and determined. Father, I thank You that Your presence goes with me, and that You give me rest. I will not fret myself, nor shall I let my heart be troubled, neither shall I let it be afraid. My hope is in You, God, for You are the help of my countenance, and my God. In Jesus' name, amen

GODLY WISDOM
Father, You said if anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of You, who giveth all men liberally, and unbraideth not, and it shall be given him. Therefore I ask in faith, to be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom, and spiritual understanding.

HUSBAND BLESSING WIFE
Father, I thank You for my wife who is a capable, intelligent and virtuous woman. Her worth is far more precious that jewels, and her value is far above rubies or pearls. I thank You that she is a woman of strong character, great wisdom, and great compassion. Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure. She opens her mouth with skillful and Godly wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness. Her children rise up and call her blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied), and I boast and praise her (saying), "Many daughters have done virtuously, nobly and well, but you exceed them all." Father, my wife reverently and wonderfully fears You, and she shall be praised! Give her the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates of the city. I respect, value, and honor my wife before our children. In Jesus name. Amen!

In the name of Jesus, I take authority over my thought life. I refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the (true) knowledge of God; and I lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ, the Anointed One. The carnal mind is no longer operative for I have the mind of Christ and do hold the thoughts(feelings and purposes) of His heart. In the name of Jesus, I will practice what I have learned and received and heard and seen in Christ, and model my way of living on it, and the God of peace-of untroubled, undisturbed well-being-will be with me. Amen.
CASTING DOWN IMAGINATIONS (PTAM)
Father, though I live in the world, I do not wage war as the world does. The weapons I fight with are not weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. I demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of You, and I take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. In the name of Jesus, I ask You, Father, to bless those who despitefully used me. Whenever I feel afraid, I will trust in You. When I feel miserable, I will express thanksgiving, and when I feel that life is unfair, I will remember that You are more than enough. When I feel ashamed, help me to remember that I no longer have to be afraid; I will not suffer shame. I am delivered from the fear of disgrace; I will not be humiliated. I relinquish the shame of my youth. I am in Your will for my life at this time. I am being transformed through the renewing of my mind. I am able to test and approve(for myself) what Your good and acceptable and perfect will is. You have good things reserved for my future. All my needs are met according to Your riches in glory. I will replace worry for my family by asking You to protect and care for them. In Jesus'name, Amen.

TO PUT ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
In the name of Jesus, I put on the armor of God, that I may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, for I wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, the ruler of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places. I stand, having my loins girt about with truth. Your Word, Lord, which is truth, contains all the weapons of my warfare which are not carnal, but mighty thru God to the pulling down of strongholds. I have on the breastplate of righteousness; which is faith and love. My feet are shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. In Christ Jesus I have peace, and pursue peace with all men. I take the shield of faith, wherewith I am able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of god. In the face of all trials, tests, temptations, and tribulations, I cut to pieces the snare of the enemy by speaking the Word of God. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. Thank You, Father, for the armor. I will pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and entreaty, interceding in behalf of all saints. My power and ability and sufficiency are from God. Amen!!
ABUSIVE FAMILY SITUATION
Father, Your Word says that You loved me and my family so much that You sent Your very own Son, Jesus, to die for our sin so we could live with you forever. You said that You would give us a new life that is wonderful and rich. I pray that I may be come like You, for I am Your child and You love me. I purpose to live, with a due sense of responsibility, not as others who do not know the meaning of life but as one who does. Direct me by Your Holy Spirit that I may make the best use of my time, despite all the evils of these days. Father, I am willing to stand in the gap and make up the hedge so that my family will not suffer judgement. Send Your Holy Spirit to convict, convince, and demonstrate to us about sin, righteousness and judgement. Give us a heart of flesh, and send a laborer of the harvest to share with us the Gospel of the glory of Christ. I thank You, Father, that each family member who is lost receives and confesses that Jesus is Lord, and I ask that Your will be done in ______life. Lord, reveal the steps that I should take to break what appears to be a curse. Father, Your Word says that we are overcomers by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of our testimony. In the name of Jesus, I am committing my life to You-to obey You. Show me the path of life for me and my family. Uncontrollable, irrational anger, rage and abuse are a curse. Your Son Jesus was made a curse for us, therefore, I put on Your whole armor that I may be able to successfully stand against all the strategies and the deceits of the devil. In the name of Jesus, I am redeemed, and I plead the blood of Jesus over my family. I thank You that the evil power of abuse is broken, overthrown, and cast down out of my family.

I make my petitions known to You with thanksgiving, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
DEVELOPING HEALTHY FRIENDSHIPS (PTAM)
Father, help me to meet new friends---friends who will encourage me. May I find in these friendships the companionship and friendship You have ordained for me.

I ask for divine connections-good friendships ordained by You. Thank You for courage and grace to let go of detrimental friendships. I ask and receive, by faith, discernment for developing healthy relationships. Father, You know the hearts of people, so I won't be deceived by outward appearances. Bad friendships corrupt good morals. Thank You for quality friends who help me build a stronger character and draw me closer to You. Thank You, Lord, that I can entrust myself and my need for friends into Your keeping. I submit to the leadership of the Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus. Amen
INDIVIDUAL GROWTH
Father I desire that my prayers avail much. I, as an individual, which is dependent on others, have gifts which differ according to the grace given to me. Father, I realize that You know what I need before I ask, and that I am not growing in the same manner or on the same time schedule as others, but I am growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I give others space to grow, for I am becoming a patient person, bearing with one another and making allowances because we love one another. I acknowledge that I do not have dominion over others, and I refuse to lord it over another's faith, but that we are fellow laborers promoting one another's joy, because it is by faith that we stand firm. In Jesus' name. Amen!

Satan, you and all your principalities, powers and master spirits who rule the darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places are bound up and I am loosed from you in the name of Jesus, as it is written in Matthew 18:18,19. No longer can you, satan, harass or operate any of your unclean spirits or habits over me. I will not become the slave of anything that exalts itself over the Word of God or be brought under its power. I hereby confess that I am strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in my innermost being. I am strong in the Lord. I am empowered through my union with the Lord. I draw strength from the Lord-that strength which His boundless might provides. I arm myself with the full armor of God, that armor of a heavily armed soldier which God has supplied to preparation of the gospel of peace…the shield of faith…and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. With God's armor on, I am able to stand up against All the strategies and deceits and fiery darts of satan in the name of Jesus.

HEALTH
I believe in the name of Jesus that I am healed according to 1 Peter 2:24 where it is written…who Himself bore my sins in His own body on the tree..by whose stripes I am healed. According to Matt 8:17 Jesus Himself took my infirmaties and bore my sicknesses. Therefore on the authority of the Word I say I am redeemed from the curse of sickness and I refuse to tolerate its symptoms. Now, Father, because I reverance and worship You, I have the assurance of Your Word that the angel of the Lord encamps around me and delivers me from every evil work. No evil shall befall me, no plague or calamity shall come near my dwelling. I confess the Word of God abides in me and delivers to me perfect soundness in my mind and wholeness in my body and spirit. Amen!
TO BEAR FRUIT
The Apostle Paul said to be filled with the fruit of righteousness. Therefore, I commit myself to bring forth fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance. I renounce and turn from fruit of the flesh, because I am Christ's and have crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts. Father, I thank You that I am good ground, that I hear Your Word and understand it, and that the Word bears fruit in my life. Father, in Jesus' name, I thank You for filling me with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding that I may walk worthy of You, Lord, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of You. Amen!
OVERCOMING DISCOURAGEMENT

You appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and to Jacob and established Your covenant with them, Father. I believe that You have heard my groanings, my cries. I will live to see Your promises of deliverance fulfilled in my life. You have not forgotten one word of Your promise; You are a Covenant-Keeper.

FOR MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES
Father, our troops have been sent into the world as peace-keepers. We petition You, Lord, according to Psalm 91, for the safety of our military personnel. We look beyond human instruments of conflict and address the forces and authorities and rulers or darkness and powers in the spiritual world. As children of the Most High God we enforce the triumphant victory of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Jesus stripped you, Satan, of your principalities and powers, making a show of you openly. Our Lord and Master defeated you. All power and authority both in heaven and earth belong to Him. Righteousness and truth shall prevail. Nations shall come to the light of the Gospel. We petition heaven to turn our troops into a real peacekeeping force by pouring out the glory of God through our men and women in that part of the world. Use them as instruments of righteousness to defeat the plans of the devil.
Lord, we plead the power of the blood of Jesus, asking You to manifest Your power and glory. We entreat You on behalf of the citizens in these countries on both sides of this conflict. They have experienced pain and heartache; they are victims of the devil's strategies to steal, kill, and destroy. We pray that they will come to know Jesus Who came to give us life, and life more abundantly. We stand in the gap for the people of the war-torn, devil-overrun land. We expect an overflowing of Your goodness and glory in the lives of those for whom we are praying. May they call upon your name and be saved. You, Lord, make known Your salvation; Your righteousness You openly show in the sight of the nations.
Father, provide for and protect the families of our armed forces. Preserve marriages, cause the hearts of the parents to turn toward their children, and the hearts of the children to turn towards the fathers and mothers. We plead the blood of Jesus over our troops and their families. Provide a support system to undergird, uplift, and edify those who have been left to raise children by themselves. Jesus has been made unto these parents wisdom, righteousness, and sanctification. Through Your Holy spirit, comfort the lonely and strengthen the weary. Father, we are looking forward to that day when the whole earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. In Jesus' name, amen.
FOR THOSE IN AUTHORITY
Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus on behalf of those in authority over this nation, over my state, and over my city because Your Word says in 1 Tim 2:1-2 that thanks be made for all men; for kings and all that are in authority that we may lead a quiet and peacable life in all godliness and honesty. It is written in Your Word that the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord and You turn it whichever way You desire. I believe that the hearts of our government, business, and military leaders, members of the judicial system and law enforcement officers in this country are in Your hands and that their decisions are divinely directed by You. I ask You to guide them, direct them, and anoint them with godly wisdom as they wield their influence. Amen
PROMISES FOR CHILDREN

FORGIVENESS
Father God, in the name of Jesus, Your Son, I make a fresh commitment to You to live in peace with my brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ, and with my friends, neighbors, and family. I let go of all, bitterness, wrath, anger, and evil speaking in any form. I give satan no place in my life in Jesus' name. Now Father, I ask Your forgiveness.

SUBMITTING ALL TO GOD
Father, You are the Supreme Authority-a God of order. You have instituted other authority structures that will support healthy relationships and maintain harmony. It is my decision to surrender my will to You that I might find protection and dwell in the secret place of the Most High. Lord, You know just how rebellious I have been. I ask Your forgiveness for manipulating circumstances and people-for trying to manipulate You to get my own way. May Your will be done in my life, even as it is done in heaven. Lord, help me to walk thru the process of surrendering my all to You. I exchange rebellion and stubbornness for a willing and obedient heart-when I refuse to listen, anoint my ears to hear; when I am blinded by my own desires, open my eyes to see. I belong to Jesus, the Anointed One, who breaks down and destroys every yoke of bondage. In His name and in obedience to Your will, Father, I submit to the control and direction of the Holy Spirit whom You have sent to live in me. I am Your child. All to You I surrender. I am an overcomer by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of my testimony! In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen!
TO BE FILLED AND OVERFLOWING WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
My heavenly Father, I am a believer. I am Your child and You are my Father. Jesus is my Lord. I believe with all my heart that Your Word is true. Your word says that, if I will ask, I will receive the Holy Spirit, so in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord, I am asking You to fill me to overflowing with Your precious Holy Spirit. Because of Your Word, I believe that I now receive and I thank You for it. I believe that the Holy Spirit is within me, and by faith, I accept it. Now, Holy Spirit, rise up within me as I praise my God. I fully expect to speak with other tongues, as You give me utterance. In Jesus' name I ask. Amen!
REVELATION
I thank You, God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, that You give to me the wisdom to see clearly and really understand who Christ is, and all that He has done for me. I pray that my heart will be flooded with light so that I can see something of the future he has called me to share. I want to realize that God has been made rich because we who are Christ's have been given to Him! I pray that I will begin to understand how incredibly great His power is to help those who believe Him. It is that same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him in the place of honor at Your right hand in heaven, far, far above any other king or ruler or dictator or leader. And You, God, have put all things under His feet and made Him the supreme Head of the church-which is His body, filled with Himself, the author and giver of everything everywhere. In Jesus' name. Amen!

RENEWING THE MIND
Father God, You are the great I Am, the Creator of everything in the earth,in the seas and in the air. You are the beginning and the the end--the Alpha and the Omega. I come to You in the name of Your Son, Jesus the Christ, my Savior, and I thank You for Your promises that I shall prosper and be in health, even as my soul prospers. I have the mind of Christ, the Messiah, and I do hold the thoughts of His heart. I trust in You, Lord, with all my heart; I lean not on my own understanding but in all my ways acknowledge You, and You will direct my paths. Today I submit myself to Your Word which exposes and judges the very thoughts and purposes of my heart. I refute anything that sets itself against the TRUE knowledge of God. Today I shall be transformed by the renewing of my mind, that I may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Your Word, Lord, shall not depart out of my mouth; but I shall meditate on it day and night. I will not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving continue to make my wants known to You, Lord. Today I roll my works upon You. I commit and trust them wholly to You, Lord, and so shall my plans be established and succeed. Amen!

HEALING FROM ABUSE (PTAM)
Lord, You are my High Priest, and I ask You to loose me from this "infirmity". The abuse I suffered pronounced me guilty and condemned. I was bound-in an emotional prison-crippled, and could in no wise lift up myself. You have called me to Yourself, and I have come. The anointing that is upon You is present to bind up and heal the brokenness and emotional wounds of the past. You are the Truth that sets me free. Thank You, Lord, for guiding me through the steps to emotional wholeness. You have begun a good work in me, and You will perform it until the day of Christ Jesus. Father; I desire to love according to the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind had magnificently cleared the air, freeing me from a fatal lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of abuse. Since I am now free, it is my desire to forget those things that lie behind and strain forward to what lies ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the (supreme and heavenly) prize to which You in Christ Jesus are calling me upward. The past will no longer control my thinking patterns or my behavior. Praise be to You! I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. Old things have passed away; and. Behold, all things have become new. I declare and decree that henceforth I will walk in the newness of life. Forgive me, Father, for self-hatred and self-condemnation. I am Your child. You sent Jesus that I might have life and have it more abundantly. Thank You for the blood of Jesus that makes me whole. It is my desire to throw all spoiled virtue, and cancerous evil in the garbage. In simple humility, I let my Gardener; You Lord, landscape me with the Word, making a salvation-garden of my life.
Father, by Your grace, I forgive my abuser(s) and ask You to bring him/her/them to repentance. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen
VICTORY OVER FEAR
Father, in Jesus' name, I confess and believe that no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and any tongue that rises against me in judgement I shall show to be in the wrong. I believe I dwell in the secret place of the Most High. I shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty God whose power no foes can withstand-this secret place hides me from the strife of tongues. I believe the wisdom of God's Word dwells in me, and because it does, I realize that I am without fear or dread of evil. In all my ways I know and acknowledge God and His Word; thus, He directs and makes straight and plain my pathway. I am strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in my innermost by the Holy Spirit Himself Who dwells in me. God is my strength and my refuge, and I confidently trust in Him and in His Word. God Himself has said, "I will never leave you without support or forsake you or let you down, my child." I take comfort and am encouraged and confidently and boldly say, "The Lord is my helper. I will not be seized with alarm. As I speak God's Word, it is sharper than any two-edged sword, and it is penetrating into my joints and into the marrow of my bones. It is healing to my flesh. Hallelujah! Amen.
