Isaiah 60:18; Ephesians 4:31; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Romans 13:1

I will not remember the former things of old and live in the past (rejection, neglect, failures, mistakes, bad decisions, poor stewardship, failed relationships and business ventures, shame, guilt, grief, regret, hurt and pain) for my God is God and there is no other like Him; who declares the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose for your life. I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass; I have purposed, and I will do it.” God, I believe you shall do all that you have promised and said concerning my life, help my unbelief. In Jesus’s name, Amen! 

‭~ Prayer Inspired from Isaiah‬ ‭46‬:‭9‬-‭10 ‭ESV‬

Lord, the steps of a righteous person are ordered by you. Though I make plans for myself, I pray that you will guide me concerning ______. According to Psalms 32:8, you instruct me and teach me in the way I should go; you will counsel me with your eye upon me. In Jeremiah 29:11 you said, “call on me in prayer and I will answer you. I will show you great and mysterious things which you still do not know about.” 

Heavenly Father, show me your perfect will, let me hear your voice clearly. For where there is no guidance, people fall, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety. Lead me by your Holy Spirit who counsels me. Keep me from the error of my own way. I trust you Lord with all my heart, I will not lean on my own understanding about ______, I look to you! Heavenly Father, you are the author and the finisher of my faith! 

You have begun a good work in me and will be faithful to complete it! In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Father, according to your word in 1 John 1:9, if we confess our sins, you are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I confess the sin of _____ and repent for the guilt and shame it has caused in my life. Deliver me from the iniquity - immoral, gross behavior and condemnation of this sin. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. You are the one who helps me, I will not be disgraced! I am not ashamed! Instead of shame, I have a double portion of your grace and favor! Instead of dishonor, I have the honor and your everlasting joy! My sins are washed away by the blood of Jesus. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
