A Prayer of Trust

As you move forward embracing all the unexpected adventures God has for you, I invite you to pray the following prayer. Pray it in faith, boldly, courageously, and with a passionate love for Jesus. Pray it with a thankful heart for all He has placed inside of you and all He wants to do through you. As you do, know that I’m praying for you as well, and together, we will move forward in faith, giving Him all the glory for the rest of our lives.

Love, Chris

Father, Your Word says that we overcome not by might and not by power, but by Your Spirit. So, I lean into You, believing that You are at work in the unexpected adventures in my life. I trust in Your goodness, no matter my circumstance. I stand on the integrity of Your character, especially when I face the impossible. You are good. You do good. And You are working in all things for my good.

You came to set me free, so I believe You for freedom, hope, healing, rescue, and deliverance. I choose to believe that impossible is where You start. Miracles are what You do. I believe in the name of Jesus for signs and wonders and miracles in my life. I believe for the supernatural in every area of my life — in my marriage and parenting, in my ministry and career, in my friendships and community.

God, You are greater than anything I face. I refuse to fix my eyes on the obstacle and enemy, but instead elevate my gaze to You. I will speak Your words of life and truth, agreeing with You alone, believing You are who You said You are and will do what You said You will do. You are faithful. You will come through. That’s who You are. That’s what You do. By Your grace, I will live by faith. By faith, I believe You will fulfill Your purpose for my life — that I will reach the destiny You planned for me all along — and I will give You all the glory in everything I do as we travel there together.

In Jesus’s name I pray, amen.
