LORD, give me a new spirit

January 10, 2022·Gabriela Angerami

LORD, give me a new spirit

Sometimes there are situations that repeat themselves and don’t seem to change. Or else something we’ve been hoping for a lot doesn’t happen. Anyway, there are so many factors that can discourage us. However, we who hope in the Lord have an inexhaustible source of strength and hope. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:30-31 Let’s pray together surrendering everything that has been going on in our minds and hearts to God. Remembering that you don’t need to repeat the prayer exactly as I’m going to leave it here, because each of us has a specific way of communicating with the Lord. But if you want to accompany me, it will be a pleasure. Feel free to speak your own way. PRAYER Dear God, I want to begin this prayer by giving thanks for Your Word that brings us words of comfort and consolation. Thank you for your mercy that is renewed and that accepts my prayer even when I would […]

Prayer for a 2022 in the presence of God

Prayer for a 2022 in the presence of God

We have just entered the first week of another new year. We list goals and set out to do so many things. But first of all we need to commit our year to God and invite the Holy Spirit to be part of all our plans and dreams, because it is He who reveals the Father’s will for us. Only then will we live the eternal purposes that the Lord has for us in 2022. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. (Pv. 16:3) Remembering that you don’t need to repeat the prayer exactly as I’m going to write it here, because each one of us has a specific way of communicating with the Lord. But if you want to accompany me, it would be a pleasure. Feel free to speak your way. PRAYER Dear and beloved God, I want to begin this prayer by thanking you for so much grace and kindness. Thank you for all the years that have passed and Your mercy and Your care have accompanied me. Thank you for having the opportunity to live new days. Thank you for the new chances that the Lord gives me so that I can […]

Prayer: sharing what God gave you

Prayer: sharing what God gave you

In the last text I wrote about the blessings that are poured into our lives in an overflowing way so that we can share them. (Click here to read). You certainly occupy a place of blessing in something. Maybe in your relationships, maybe in knowledge, maybe financially, in talents. Or in various things. Know that this is grace that was bestowed upon you. And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. – 2 Cor. 8:8 God wants to give us more than we need so that we can use that overflow to connect with one another, to bless one another. To live in church. God wants us to experience living in unity. That’s why the pouring out of gifts is different on each person, so that we are just complete in each other. Most likely your friend is overflowing with something you need, and likewise, you may have something the person next to you is in need. Let’s pray that you will be able to identify all that God has done in your life and then multiply. Remember that you don’t have to repeat the […]

Prayer: Stay focused on what is eternal!

December 14, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: Stay focused on what is eternal!

Keep your focus on what is eternal, allow yourself to trust in the Lord, for He assures us in His Word that if we live with integrity and trust in Him, we will find security and prosperity. Your new year will be prosperous and secure in God’s presence. Surrender your path to the Lord, submit your life, your choices, your attitudes to Him, and He promises you care, prosperity, and help. Seek the Father’s presence with intensity and you will find the relief and refreshment you need in Him. Many times we suffer because we live far away from the presence and the will of the Lord, so keep your focus on eternity! Here is a passage especially for you today: In his heart man plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9 Remember that you don’t have to repeat the prayer exactly as I’m going to leave it here, because each one of us has a specific way of communicating with the Lord. But if you want to follow me, it will be a pleasure, feel free to speak it in your own way. Prayer Beloved God, thank You because in order to live I can […]

Prayer: direction for the next steps!

December 10, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: direction for the next steps!

We are approaching the end of the year, a time when everyone starts to make their plans for the coming year, even those who are not used to planning things have something in their heart that they would like to accomplish ahead. Some want to improve their studies, others plan to start a family, or long for new opportunities. In short, there is always a goal, but they are of no use if we don’t have direction from God. Our Father knows the best path to follow, where we should invest our time and effort. So today I want to pray with you that God will give us direction on where to follow and how to follow. I leave here a passage especially for you today: Consecrate to the Lord all that you do, and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3 Many are the plans in the heart of man, but what prevails is the purpose of the Lord. Proverbs 19:21 Well-laid plans lead to plenty; but the hasty always end in misery. Proverbs 21:5 Remember that you don’t have to repeat the prayer exactly as I will leave it here, because each one of us has a specific way […]

Prayer for our Families!

December 06, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer for our Families!

Today is the national family day here in Brazil and thinking about that today we will pray for our homes, for our families. As I wrote in the last text, family is a precious gift given by God to us and the greatest gift that we can give to our family is our time. We are in a time of festivities where many worries about giving expensive gifts, but think: our savior, Jesus, was the one who gave the most gifts and do you know what? He didn’t give gold or silver, but he served, giving all the attention to those who crossed his path and even giving His life for us. So, just like our Lord, may we know how to value the time with our family! I leave here two passages especially for you today: The crown of old men is their children’s children; and the glory of children is their fathers. – Proverbs 17:6 Then his brothers and his mother came and, standing outside, sent for him. And the multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him: Behold, thy mother and thy brethren seek thee, and are without. And he answered them, saying, Who is […]

Prayer: Entering into God’s presence with intimacy!

November 30, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: Entering into God’s presence with intimacy!

This week we’ve already talked about outsourcing faith and the importance of breaking through the spiritual and mental barriers imposed by the enemy to keep us from God. Today I want to pray with you specifically for forgiveness from the Lord for our sins that keep us from Him and to break down all the barriers that have kept us from coming into His presence with intimacy. I leave here a passage especially for you today: “Examine everything. Hold fast what is good. Abstain from every appearance of evil. And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you in all things, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept completely blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ”. – 1 Thessalonians 5:21-23 Remembering that you don’t have to repeat the prayer exactly as I’m going to leave it here, because each one of us has a specific way of communicating with the Lord. But if you want to follow me, it will be a pleasure, feel free to speak it in your own way. Prayer Beloved God, I thank You for giving Your Son to die for me on the cross for my sins, so great is […]

Prayer: A refuge for every moment!

November 24, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: A refuge for every moment!

There is a refuge for every moment, the presence of God, and today we will pray to find peace in the arms of the One who is peace itself. These days in my devotional I found the passage from Proverbs 14, verse 32, where it is written: “The wicked is destroyed for his wickedness, but the righteous finds refuge even in the hour of death. When I read this passage I received a priceless peace in my heart, knowing that even in the moment of greatest pain for some, God is still there with us, as our perfect refuge. I leave here a passage especially for you today: “I am the Lord who searches the heart and examines the mind, to reward each one according to his conduct, according to his works. “ Jeremiah 17:10 Remembering that you don’t have to repeat the prayer exactly as I’m going to leave it here, not least because each of us has a specific way of communicating with the Lord. But if you want to follow along, it will be a pleasure, feel free to speak it in your own way. Prayer Beloved God, you are my refuge, savior, comforter, and safe harbor. […]

Prayer: Don’t let the enemy deceive you!

November 19, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: Don’t let the enemy deceive you!

You are precious! Repeat… you are precious! So don’t let the enemy fool you, your life is worth a lot and for it a high price was paid on the cross, that you and I might have salvation. I know that life doesn’t always go well and that sometimes nothing seems to have a solution, but I want to tell you today that if you are here it is because God has a purpose for your life and that you will still sing the hymn of victory, because we are already more than victorious in Christ. You see, depression sneaks into the lives of many, and this is usually through the mind. When someone is in this situation, everything may seem fine on the outside, but still the depressed person feels miserable, with thoughts and feelings of anguish. Use the word of God as your child, for it alone is a sure parameter of what is truth. This is because only the one who created you can declare the right way you should function! I leave here a passage especially for you today: For according to the inward man I delight in the law of God; But I see another […]

Prayer: I will not procrastinate

November 16, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: I will not procrastinate

In the last few texts we talked about procrastinating, what the behavior of a procrastinator is, what conduct God expects from his servants, and how to overcome this problem that seems to harm so many these days. Today to complement the study, I want to pray for you and for me, and for everyone who has ever faced this difficulty, after all, we all have our days. So come with me and prostrate yourself before the Father, asking for His help and recognizing that our strength comes from Him! I leave here a passage especially for you today: Everything has its appointed time, and there is a time for every purpose under heaven. There is a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to throw down, and a time to build; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to scatter stones, and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, and a time to withdraw from embracing; A time to […]

Prayer: Guidance for sentimental life!

November 05, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: Guidance for sentimental life!

Are you looking for direction in your emotional life? Then there is no better person to direct you than our good God. He knows what is best for us, what we need, and at what time we need it, so before we seek anyone else we must first seek our Father and He will direct us. It is in a daily relationship with our Father, that we find our identity and emotional security. Secure people have secure relationships, and this security is in God, for we are His children, and this is the true source of happiness. Remember that a boyfriend, husband or wife will never be able to satisfy you completely. Another thing is to look for someone with real values, remember that beauty is fleeting! Of course physical attraction is important in a life together. But don’t let someone’s physical beauty stop you from looking inside and looking for qualities that will make a difference in the long run. Today I want to pray with you that God will give you direction in your love life. That you may find someone with good values, who seeks to please the Lord. I leave here a passage especially for you […]

Prayer: How to live in harmony?

October 29, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: How to live in harmony?

How to live in harmony when we feel we are failing so badly? This has been our topic of study for the past few days after all, we are sinners struggling against our own flesh and against the evil that is in this world. But there is a way to live in harmony and it involves three blessed words that we have studied, the first is love, the second is forgiveness and the third is patience. The Bible teaches us to live in harmony by putting on these three acts, the first of which is the most important and determines the fulfillment of the other two, for as it is written in Colossians 3:14, love is the perfect bond. Today, to close our reflection with a golden key, I want to pray with you that we will live a life of harmony and that we will be renewed in Christ, filled with the fruit of the Spirit. I leave here some passages especially for you today: Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, longsuffering; Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; as Christ […]

Prayer: Going through trials with faith!

October 18, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: Going through trials with faith!

Today we will pray for a theme recently written here on the blog… as it is known, in this world we will have afflictions, as Jesus said in John 16:33, but in the same verse He also says: “but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world”. How good it is to know that our King has already conquered all the evil that we could face, isn’t it? Sometimes it seems that we will not be able to cope, as I told some of my testimonies, but it happens that in Christ we are strengthened, we find shelter, salvation, healing, care, and much more when we believe that there is no way out, but He is the solution, He sends resources and people from where we never imagined He would come. So today let’s pray together for the strengthening of our faith and for His provision in the midst of all the trials we are going through! Here are some passages especially for you today: 3 Not only so, but we[a] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because […]

Prayer: Based on Colossians 3

October 15, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: Based on Colossians 3

Today we are going to pray based on Colossians 3, a text that carries very special teachings and values for our lives, among them the need to mortify our flesh, ridding ourselves of fornication, impurity, inordinate affection, vile concupiscence, and greed, which is idolatry. Remember that you don’t have to repeat the prayer exactly as I am going to leave it here, because each one of us has a specific way of communicating with the Lord. But if you want to follow me, it will be a pleasure, feel free to speak it in your own way. Prayer Beloved God, I want to seek the things above, to think about what comes from above. I ask for help to put to death my earthly nature, namely impurity, lustful passions, evil desires, and greed. I know that my sinful nature drives me away from You, and I ask forgiveness for my sins. Pluck from me all the anger, indignation, malice, slander, and foul language that may be in my speech. Forgive me for the lies I have told in the course of my life, for I know that You are a God of truth, that I may walk according to Your […]

Prayer: Understanding your value as a child of God!

October 08, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: Understanding your value as a child of God!

Today we are going to pray for something that can be so basic, but is sometimes so forgotten by us, the value that we have as children of God. We are more valuable than birds to Him, but sometimes we put ourselves in the condition of being forgotten by the Lord, we believe that He is not looking after us and seeing our pains, but do you know what? He is, He sees your pain, He knows your needs and as a loving Father will satisfy them when the time is right! I leave here a passage especially for you today: “No one can serve two masters; for he will hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Money.” “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your own lives, as to what to eat or drink; nor about your own bodies, as to what to wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air: they do not sow or reap or store in barns, yet their heavenly Father feeds them. Are […]

Prayer: I am a beloved child!

October 01, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: I am a beloved child!

Last week we talked a little bit about favoritism and God being things that don’t go together, our Father is just and loves his children equally, and then maybe you ask yourself: why does my brother have this or that, or is better off than me? Does God love the other more than He loves me? These seemingly harmless questions are doubts planted by the enemy in our minds and hearts, and we can’t let them take root, because soon we will be far from the glory of God, feeling unjust, and that our Father gave his only begotten Son to die for us all. So counter such lies with a single truth: you are a beloved child! God is no respecter of persons, He loves all His children equally, but each one chooses whether to live in this love. Each one chooses his or her own way, our Father has given us freedom, we have the right to choose to walk by His side in an upright way or not. The Gospel is not easy, for it demands surrender. Everything is achieved through effort and sacrifice. It is difficult to live like this in a world where everything seems […]

Prayer: Starting a fast!

September 24, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: Starting a fast!

Last Friday we talked about the importance of fasting here on the blog, we also addressed frequent questions that can arise in our midst regarding this topic and today we will continue praying for the beginning of a fast, maybe you are not starting a fast now, but I want to leave here available a prayer for you when you decide to do it. I would also like to recapitulate a few points: Fasting doesn’t change God, it changes you! Fasting will not make God kinder or more merciful to you, in fact, it is directly related to us, that is, our need to break through the barriers and limitations of our flesh. Fasting mortifies our flesh and makes our spirit alert, so its primary purpose is the mortification of the flesh. We should also not be like the Pharisees, for Jesus condemns exhibitionism before men to attest your spirituality. If you wish, feel free to return to the last text to learn a little more about fasting. I leave here some passages especially for you today: 4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. 5 It is better […]

Prayer: No More for the Flesh!

September 20, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: No More for the Flesh!

This week we talked here on the blog about not allowing ourselves to be moved by the flesh and today we will pray for forgiveness first and also for help from our Lord. After all, the flesh makes us empty promises and leads us astray. In 2 Peter 2:19, it is written that man is a slave to that which dominates him. Therefore, when dominated by the flesh we let ourselves be destroyed by vices, which sometimes seem harmless and at other times not so much. We lie to ourselves with empty promises: “just today and I’ll stop”. But today the day has come to put an end to this situation, let’s also pray for deliverance from all and any addiction, so that we can get closer to the Father, remember that to go to God you don’t need to be perfect, come to the Father and He will set you free. I leave here a passage especially for you today: He who lives according to the flesh has his mind set on what the flesh desires; but he who according to the Spirit has his mind set on what the Spirit desires. The mindset of the flesh is death, […]

Prayer: Healing a wounded heart!

September 15, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: Healing a wounded heart!

Do you know what the key to healing a heart is? It’s forgiveness, forgiveness cleans our hearts and lightens our baggage, maybe you carry a much heavier load than you should and it’s time to leave it in the past, after all, who lives in the past is a museum, so today I want to pray with you for a renewed heart, healed, free of pain, bitterness, anger or any bad feeling. In Proverbs 27:19, it is written that the heart reflects who we are, so we can realize the importance of taking good care of it, so that no evil can enter. Fortunately, we can count on our God for this, for as it is written in Psalm 147:3: “He heals the brokenhearted and deals with their sufferings. I leave here some passages especially for you today: Just as water reflects the face, the heart reflects who we are. Proverbs 27:19 He alone heals the brokenhearted and cares for their wounds. Psalm 147:3 May the peace of Christ be the judge in your hearts, since you have been called to live in peace, as members of one body. And be thankful. Colossians 3:15 Remember that you don’t have to […]

Prayer: More love and less indifference!

September 10, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: More love and less indifference!

These days we wrote about love and indifference, and how these two are incompatible. For when we search for the definition of indifference we find things like: absence of interest; lack of consideration; indifference to the feelings of others. Being indifferent is very much related to not caring about the pain or the needs of others. To love in words is much easier than to love in actions. When we love in action, we choose to walk beside the other, which can be difficult because we live in a very individualistic world. But we, as the light of the world and the salt of the earth, cannot conform to the standards of society, but to the standard proposed by the Word. We need to love our neighbor as ourselves and if this biblical love is a reality in our lives, we will never be indifferent to the pain of others, be it emotional, physical or financial. So, today I want to pray with you that we can love more every day and that there will be no indifference in our hearts! I leave here some passages especially for you today: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, […]

Prayer: A nation with hope!

September 03, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: A nation with hope!

Our hope must always be first in God and when it comes to our nation it is no different. Of course we also have more than the role of just waiting, as Christians we must do our part and be good citizens, respecting the laws of our country and giving the example of a life of integrity. There is no use in demanding less corruption when you yourself are corrupt in your “small”, but significant, daily actions. As we said in the last text, as Christians we also have a commitment to all creation, we must take care of nature. And today I want to pray with you for our country, also remembering our responsibility for the country to have a good future and hope. You may have heard or said that children are the hope of the nation, but they will do in the future what they have been taught to do, so we need to be good examples. I leave here some passages especially for you today: They say to him: From Caesar. And He said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s. Matthew 22:21 And […]

Prayer: Fighting with your knees on the ground!

August 30, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: Fighting with your knees on the ground!

As it is written in Ephesians 6:12, our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. That is also why our tools and preparation are not like those of this world. Our struggles and battles require kneeling on the ground, dialogue with our Lord, the One who can do everything and who has the power to change any situation. I don’t know how your home, bank account, pantry, work and relationships are doing, but I do know that prayer, the act of praying together with action, has an incredible power to transform. So today let’s pray together for our daily struggles for strength, protection and empowerment. I leave here some passages especially for you today: Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but humbly regard others as greater than yourselves. Philippians 2:3 A man’s pride humbles him, but he of a humble spirit obtains honor. Proverbs 29:23 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report, if there is anything excellent or worthy […]

Prayer: Putting aside vanity!

August 19, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: Putting aside vanity!

Vanity is very present nowadays, you can open your Instagram and you will see people all over the place. As if life was a big “show” that should be exhibited for everyone, which generates even more vanity. With this we see people thinking more about what others will think than what God thinks about their attitudes, but as it is written in Habakkuk 2:4: “The wicked is proud; his desires are not good; but the righteous shall live by his faithfulness. With this in mind, today I want to pray for everyone who is reading this text, that all vanity and any evil way will not be in our hearts. I leave here some passages especially for you today: Beauty is deceitful, and beauty is fleeting; but the woman who fears the Lord will be praised. Proverbs 11:13 Write: “The wicked is proud; his desires are not good; but the righteous shall live by his faithfulness. Habakkuk 2:4 I have found that all work and all achievement arise from the competition that exists between people. But that too is absurd, it is chasing after the wind. Ecclesiastes 4:4 Remember that you don’t have to repeat the prayer exactly as I […]

Prayer: God in control of my life!

August 16, 2021·Nicole Leao

Prayer: God in control of my life!

We don’t have the script for our lives, only our Father does, and that’s a good thing, isn’t it? God is in control of everything we are going through and knows what is best for us. This is wonderful, but sometimes we find it difficult to just trust, we want to be in control and know what is going to happen in the future, which is impossible. But do you know what? When our Lord is in control there is no need to know what is going to happen in the future and, furthermore, when we prepare ourselves and give our best today we will certainly be prepared for whatever comes, be it blessings or trials. This is why I want to pray with you today, that we hand over our future to the Father and prepare ourselves daily for whatever comes. I leave here a passage especially for you today: Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33 Remember that you don’t have to repeat the prayer exactly as I am going to leave it here, because each one of us has a specific way […]
