Divine and Dependable Father,
O Lord, how we praise and magnify You for not wasting anything in the lives of Your believing children! Indeed, You have a purpose for everything You do or permit in our lives. You may choose to reveal Your purpose to us or You may not. This is Your sovereign prerogative. What’s important is that, whether You reveal Your purpose for what You permit or do in our lives, ours is to trust You. This is because Your purposes are good. Moreover, “we know that for those who love God all things work together for good” (Romans 8:28; ESV).
Caring and Compassionate Father
Now, “Lord of the whole earth” (Micah 4:13; ESV), be gracious to Your believing people in the Middle East. Just as I completed composing this prayer with Your help, news broke out that Israel and the United States launched a massive joint attack on Iran, on February 28, 2026. Iran wasted no time in launching retaliatory waves of missiles toward Israel and U. S. military bases in the Persian Gulf. We know that this was no surprise for You. For, You are in control of all the affairs of the nations. Therefore, we earnestly pray to You to protect and preserve Your chosen people- Israel and Your believing children in the Middle East. As well, we plead with You to bring good out of this rapidly developing situation. Specifically, we pray “that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored” (2 Thessalonians 3:1; ESV) among the people of the Middle East. O Lord of the whole world, set free many who are deceived and held in bondage by the devil for ages. We thank You that You are the Great Warrior, Conqueror and Victor.
Best and Blessed Father,
Because of Your Spirit’s presence in our lives, Your purpose for our lives will be accomplished. Through Your Spirit’s work in us, You will conform us into the blessed image of Your Blessed and Beloved Son. This is Your special and supreme goal for every single believer in Jesus Christ. Indeed, this special supreme goal of Yours, is clearly and convincingly stated in these precious and powerful words. “For those whom [You] foreknew [You] also predestined to be conformed to the image of [Your] Son, in order that [He] might be the firstborn among many brothers” (Romans 8:29; ESV).
New Year 2026 Prayer
Indeed, in the past year, some of Your believing people passed through the waters of affliction and sorrow. But You were with them. Others passed through the rivers of suffering and persecution. But they were not drowned in them. Still others walked through the fire of trouble and tribulation. But they were not scorched by the fire (see Isaiah 43:2). This is because, they are precious in Your sight and that You love them (see Isaiah 43:4) with Your undying and unending love.
Wise and Wonderful Father
And now, Wise and Wonderful Father, we pray for Your Church! With glad and grateful hearts, we praise You for Your overflowing grace into our lives in this passing year. Because of Your overflowing grace into our lives, You’ve shielded us from evil. Strengthened us when our strength was failing and flagging! Sustained us to run the race You’ve set before us in this year that’s passing away! Shown us Your lovingkindness that is better than life (see Psalms 63:3)! Strongly supported us when our heart was completely Yours (see 2 Chronicles 16:9)! Satisfied our desires with good things! Yes, because of Your overflowing grace, You’ve lovingly shepherded us and surrounded us with favor as with a shield (see Psalms 5:12b)! Indeed, You will continue to do what You’ve started to do in our lives from the beginning of this year.
Dear and Dependable Father
Lord, as we look back over the last ten months, we are reminded that You are working. Indeed, when our lives seemed out of control, because of the trials and troubles we encountered, You did not abandon Your Church. No! Not at all! Indeed, You did not fail us or forsake us! Rather, You were working Your plans for our lives. For Your promise to us is personal and precious. “For I know the plans that I have for you; declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11; NASB). Even, if You should allow further trials in our lives before this year ends, Your plans for us will remain unchanged.
Merciful and Marvelous Father
Merciful and Marvelous Father, because You are a forgiving God, we commit our cause to You in October 2025. You know its end from its beginning. Indeed, nothing will happen in this month without passing through Your hand. You, O Lord, will be orchestrating all the circumstances in our lives in October 2025 to accomplish Your divine purposes for our lives. Therefore, please, O Lord, accomplish what concerns our families, friends, and us in the new month of October 2025!
Good and Glorious Father
O Good and Glorious Father, we count on Your favor to abound upon our lives in this month of September 2025! Indeed, for without Your favor abounding upon our lives, our lives will be fruitless! Futile! Full of frustration! Even, a failure! Certainly, we know that when Your favor abounds upon our lives, we will experience Your victory in all our battles. We will be overcomers! We will taste the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living (see Psalm 27:13)! Yes, we will make a difference for the cause of Christ in such a time as this! Therefore, O Lord, make Your favor abound upon Your people in this month of September 2025.
Exalted and Esteemed Father
Since each one of us, will one day give an account to You, we must make the most of the time. Indeed, Your word exhorts us of the urgent need of “making the best use of the time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:16; ESV). Yes, the days in which we live are evil. And yes, a day is fast approaching for us to stand before You to give an account of our lives to You.
Redeeming and Righteous Father
And now, O Lord, we lift up Your Church to You in such a time of this! Indeed, there is so much turmoil and trouble in our world. That’s why You want Your Church to represent and reflect You to a lost and dying world. Your Church represents and reflects You best when she is loving You and living for You! Longing for You and looking to You! Listening to You and leaning on You! Learning from You and laboring in Your harvest!
