Help My Unbelief

hey friends! I know I’ve been a little absent recently, but I’m gonna try to start writing more casual update posts like this one! Right now my church, Auburn Community Church, is doing something called 21 days of prayer. Basically at 6 am every weekday morning we all meet at our church for a time of prayer and worship in community. While I am admittedly near-exhausted and have definitely missed a few days, It has been such a great experience and has changed my view on daily prayer. I am planning a more in-depth post at the end of the 21 days so I will go into more detail about what the whole experience has taught me then, but for now, I want to share some of the prayers I’ve really been meditating on for the past 11 days!

also, full disclaimer, many of these are straight from scripture and not in my own words hehe 🙂

Thank you for saving me from things I didn’t even know about

• Sometimes I forget that I don’t know the full picture, even of my past. You always do what’s best for me, even when I don’t see it. 

Thank you for setting my feet in spacious place

• You are a God that provides more than I could ever ask for or imagine. I am sinful and deserving of death. But you not only provide me with life but life abundantly!

Thank you for providing refuge for me

• This world is scary and life is hard. Thank you for providing me with a place of safety in your loving arms where I can find peace. 

Lord, I pray that I would never portray myself as someone that’s not reflected by the posture of my heart

• I never want to portray myself as someone I am not. I ask that you would open my eyes to how I am perceived by others and how I can alter how I interact with the people around me to be a better reflection of your character.

Lord, renew in me a steadfast spirit 

• Help me to be firm and have an unwavering faith regardless of my circumstances. Hold my hand as I navigate the rocky cliffs that lie ahead of me. 

God will you restore the joy of your salvation to me, and sustain me with a willing spirit

• Please help me not succumb to numbness to the Gospel. Help me fully and completely appreciate the magnitude of Your sacrifice, and allow my spirit to be filled with Holy fire and a renewed passion for Your glory.
