Book Description: “The First Book Of Prayers” is a book that God asked me to write. In it He wanted me to write out prayers to Him. I didn’t know what it would look like when it was complete, but I obeyed. As I began to write it, I began to understand the purpose of the book more. This is a book of prayers for others to pray. It is also a deep glimpse into how I pray personally. It is my heart speaking to my heavenly Father. Contained within are 60 prayers making various requests of the Living God.
A Glimpse Inside:
Chapter 3: For Thy Will
“Father, I thank you that you always hear me when I pray and cry out to you.
I need your grace, your unmerited favor to fill my life today in this very moment. I ask for your wisdom to flood every part of my heart and mind. Grant me access to your throne of grace through Jesus Christ. I choose to enter boldly into your throne room and bow my whole being before you Father. Here I am, presenting all I am, to ask that your will would be done on earth as it is in heaven. I lay down my own will and surrender my own thoughts and dreams before you. I give you every part of me, both the good and the bad, my strengths and my weaknesses. Conform my will to yours. Show me and make it clear to me which thoughts are my thoughts and which are yours so that I can choose yours today. Show me any idols I have set up in my heart and allow me the strength to smash them today. I choose to worship and serve you alone today. I want no other God’s in my life. I do not want to please myself, but I want to serve you. I want your will to be done and I want to walk in your ways.
So, today I simply ask that your will would be done in me. I ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen!”
Chapter 4: For Healing
“Father, I thank you that you always hear me when I pray and cry out to you.
Father, I come to you today needing healing. I need healing in my mind and in my heart and in my body today. I need you to heal all the broken places in me. I look to you alone as my Healer. You are my Source. You created me from nothing. You know every part of me. And so, I need your touch today.
I am asking you to heal my mind today. Heal all the wrong ways that I think. Heal my thoughts and bring them into obedience to you. Heal my attitudes and my judgements. Fill my mind with compassion and love for others. Convict me when I am thinking thoughts that are not in line with Your Word. Let my mind be stayed on You. Heal my mind Father!
I am asking you to heal my heart today. Heal all the pain and brokenness in me. Mend the broken places that relationships have destroyed. Forgive me when I have caused pain to others, and I choose to forgive others as they have caused me pain. I let go of my need to be avenged and I put that into your hands. Father, I forgive those who have hurt me. I ask that You heal them and forgive them. I ask that you forgive and heal me. Create in me a right heart. A heart that loves You and that loves others. Give my heart Your peace each and every day. Let me feel your love and let that love of yours overflow in me to others around me. Show me new ways to love others as You would love them. Let me be your hands and feet in this world.
I am asking you to heal my body today. Father, it seems that each new day something in this body of mine breaks or is broken. I am asking that You would heal me today. I trust You and the power of Your love to heal the brokenness in this body of mine. I ask that you’d heal me and make me whole today.
Father, I thank you that You always hear my prayers. I thank you that my prayers are pleasing to You. I ask that You give me hope and a future. Show me why you created me. Give me purpose and give me grace today.
In Jesus name I pray, Amen.”
Chapter 47: For Simplicity
“Father, I thank you that you always hear me when I pray and cry out to you.
Father, You have created such a vast and varied world filled with all the wonders You created for us. I thank You for my life. Today, I want to ask You to remind me to live humbly and simply before You. Give me wisdom as I live my life day by day and show me how to just simply bow before You as I trust You to continue to do Your work in my life.
Father, I want to love You and to love those You’ve put in my life. But Father, I don’t know how to love as I should. Can You teach me what love is? Can You train my heart in love and in life? Can You give me strength to focus on the simple things that show others I care for them?
Thank You again for sending Jesus to die for me. Thank You for that ultimate act of love. Allow me to, in some simple ways, to show You return Your love for me by loving others around me.
I ask and pray all this in Jesus’ name. Amen!”
