I had went through a 15 yr marriage filled with verbal abuse and still hadn’t dealt with other issues in my life. The Lord gave me this – and it helped start the barriers dropping to allow him to heal. I am hoping – should you need to, and are afraid to face the pain and issues, that this will help you get alone with him to start your own healing process. We all pray, differently but the first step is always the hardest to take. We all put up defenses to keep from getting hurt again, but we don’t need to do it with god.Lord, one time you got my attention so effectively when I slipped and said something I didn’t mean to, You, very disappointedly, said, What do you think you are doing? The disappointed tone you used, broke my heart, as I so desire your approval, and to know I am good enough and worthy to do your calling ? I need to learn the still ,small voice, as it has never been used on me – just loudness( Please oh lord – help me to understand it and learn to hear it clearly) Yelling scares me but , I deal more with the tones and being talked to like my feelings matter.
Put a check in me when I speak, if it is not from you, or do things ahead of you.
Lord, break(bind) the spirits that have been trying to control me-anger,negativity,jealousy,unforgiveness,bitterness,pride,confusion,envy,self-doubt,depression, discouragement. Failure, self-doubt, unbelief, low-self esteem,fear,loneliness,wanting to please and impress others ( I want to please you and only you).
Lord, you said you hear the cries of a broken, contrite, humbled spirit and heart. Refuse me not your Mercies and grace in this. Restore me to what I once was a loving, caring, forgiving person that let go and forgot – help me oh god – to know that again. Let what I’ve been through help others and be for your glory not a hindrance.
Verbally check this sometimes dense, stubborn woman the minute she gets out of line. A loud hey will get my attention- teach me to understand and respond to that still, small voice- never had it used on me before. Do another inside out on me oh lord.
Lord if you love me so much to want to use me: Lock me so totally on you and I will know no other.
Teach me and help me understand when I take it out of your hands and to realize when it is occurring and bind the panic, worry etc.
“Lord grant this one request I ask of you, because I know my ability to screw things up royally.” Take me so deep in your spirit that I will know no other voice but yours and not care what others think and do.’
You said in your word- you would not deny a broken, contrite, repentant spirit and heart. Hear my cry, oh lord and see if there be any wicked way in me know my thoughts I pray- I surrender all to you
A broken, humbled vessel
Grant me your perfect will, joy, peace, humor, wisdom, understanding, kindness, peace and complete knowledge of your love. As David of old said, “grant me your wisdom oh lord .”
Have you ever noticed that certain people tend to get blamed for everything that happens- a lot of the time- wrongfully, or the accuser doesn’t get all the facts before accusing? The person being blamed is just a handy one at the time.
