Trust In The Lord With All Your Heart - A Prayer

[Rev. Dr. Dorothy E. Hooks, PsyD]

Father, I trust in You with all my heart; I do not depend on my own understanding. But I seek Your will in all I do, and You will show me which path to take.

Father, I am not impressed with my own wisdom. Instead, I fear You and turn away from evil. Since I trust You Father, Your Word says in Isaiah 40:31 those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. So I claim Isaiah 40:31 for me Father; I believe Your Word!

Father, Your Word also says that You give strength to the weak and I am strong because You have given me strength.

Father, I will not be afraid because You told me in Isa 41:10, "Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand." You told me, "For I hold you by your right hand—I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you."

Father You said there is nothing to hard for You. Therefore, I know, I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. I know You are the same God who took care of Your people in the Bible, will supply all my needs from Your glorious riches, which have been given to me in Christ Jesus.

I know Father that You are able to rescue me from the lions; You have sent Your angels to shut the lion's mouth so they cannot hurt me - there was not a scratch on me when the angels pulled me out.

Father just as You restored to David everything that was stolen from him by his enemies, you have restored unto me everything my enemies has stolen from me.

Father I thank You for my houses and land that is completely paid off; also all my cars are paid off too. I am debt free because You said to owe no man nothing but to love him.

Jesus You gave me a choice in Mark 8:34, You said: “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me." You said also, "If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it." I yield to You Jesus!!! I yield to You Father!!! I yield to You Holy Spirit!!! I don't want to go my own way any longer Father. I want to go the way You want me to go. Thank You Jesus for setting me free from being a slave to sin which causes death.

Father, open the eyes of my spirit and show me what You have in store for me.

Father I thank You for raising me from the dead along with Christ and seated me with Him in the heavenly realms because I am united with Christ Jesus.

Father I thank You that You have made me one of Your peculiar people; You have made me high above all nations.

Father Your Word says that if I call on the name of the Lord, I will be saved and I am calling on Jesus now to save me.

Father I will hope continually and praise You more and more! 

By His divine power, God has given me everything I need for living a godly life. I have received all of this by coming to know Him, the One who called me to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. And because of His glory and excellence, He has given me great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable me to share His divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones" (www.biblegateway.com - Proverbs 3:5-8 NLT)

Shalom,
