Father, I pray that (________) learns to trust and rely on You. Your Word says, “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit.” Zechariah 4:6
Teach (________) to rely on the fullness of Your Spirit and not on (his/her) own strength. I pray that (his/her) heart would be pure and focused on any task You put before (him/her), whether it be related to sports, academics, friendships, or serving others. I pray that (he/she) would be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in moments of uncertainty and seasons of abundance. Let Your Spirit lead (him/her) farther than (his/her) own abilities and let it be all done for Your glory. (Romans 5:5)
In Jesus’ name I pray.
“And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.” (Romans 5:5)
