Dear God,
In the Name of Jesus, I pray. Only you know how my life is supposed to turn out. I’m coming to you because things haven’t gone according to my plan. And that has caused some distress, hurt, frustration and anger in my daily life. The tiniest obstacle becomes much bigger than it should. And that alone puts me at a disadvantage. I know your Word based on what I learned from others and the sporadic studying I’ve done myself. Today is the day I dive into your Word to understand what’s going on in my life. The spiritual world may not be something I understand but it’s something I want to get an understanding about. My life has meaning. And right now, I don’t feel I know what that meaning is. I ask for strength to be open to receiving insight from and through you as I go through the Bible. This commitment I’m making to both you and I will enable me to gain wisdom as I encounter new battles. I may not understand why things are happening to me or why it seems other people receive blessings, yet I don’t, but I will not let that keep me from growing into the person you created me to be. Lord, I praise your name as I embark on this journey. It seems overwhelming but I will remain faithful until the end. I pray that I am quiet and still enough to hear you speak to me throughout this journey. I pray that I am freed from the bondage, chains, spirits oppressing me. I pray that I release everything that is in the way of me having a relationship with you. You made promises to me before I was born. Those promises can’t be fulfilled if I choose not to be obedient to your Word. Thank you for keeping me this far. Today is the day I take the step to truly have your Word in my heart. I pray that throughout this journey I can process and manage my emotions as the weeks go by. Things will be revealed to me that have been suppressed or I chose not to deal with. I pray that you give me strength to get through each and every day over the next 52 weeks. Lord I am beyond grateful for receiving grace and mercy. Please be with me as I begin my spiritual connection with and to you. Amen.
