9 Prayers I Pray Regularly

With Rosh Hashanah underway and the Days of Awe taking place this week, prayer is very much a focus of mine this week.

(I began studying the Hebrew calendar last year and although I am no expert, I summarized my understanding of Rosh Hashanah and why prayer is so important during this time of year here.)

Prayer is something I try to be really diligent about, and it doesn’t necessarily come naturally for me – except, say, when I’m driving behind a painfully slow car or when I’m in a crisis. (Isn’t that so true for most of us?)

There are specific things I make a point to routinely ask God for, though. I have certain things I pray every day and certain things I pray every week, and although I don’t always stick to my lists with 100% success, I keep trying. Because I know God is listening, and I know prayer is powerful. I’ve seen too many answered prayers in my lifetime to believe otherwise!

Here are nine things I make a habit of praying on the regular:

1. That everyone in my family will live a Christian and die a Christian.
2. That God will prepare me for my future husband and prepare him for me.
3. That God will help me see what he sees.
4. That God will help me see what he sees when I look in the mirror.
5. That God will anoint my words and that they will bring life to those who hear them. That I will bless and not curse.
6. That I will remember everything belongs to God and spend my time and money accordingly.
7. That God will help me speak up when I need to speak up and shut up when I need to shut up.
8. That God will bring the godly friends into my life he wants me to become like, and that he will remove the ones he doesn’t.
9. That I will think well of others and assume they think well of me.
