Prayer September 1 2 Kings 6 ........................ Lamentations 2 ............... 1 Corinthians 15
O LORD, you know what the enemy says—even in his bedroom you hear what he has planned against me. Now help me to not be afraid, for those who are with me are more than those who are with them. Thank you for your protection, O Lord.
Lord, do not be angry with me or set me under a cloud which separates me from you. Do not forget the earth is your footstool. Do not withdraw your mighty right hand from me. I need your help to face the enemy. I pray that you do not become like my enemy. I know you will do what you have purposed, may good be purposed for me. You carry out your word.
Help me to hold fast to the Word which has been preached to me and which I hear and read so that I may be saved. I believe Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead and that my faith is not futile. My hope is in you, O Lord. I look for the day when God will be all in all. Keep me for that day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Prayer September 2 2 Kings 7 ........................ Lamentations 3 ............... 1 Corinthians 16
O LORD, you are our provision. You cause my enemies to provide for me. Help me to always do what is right—let me tell the king’s household of your favor toward me. You have opened the windows of heaven for me. Thank you for provision.
Lord, do not shut out my prayers when I cry out for help, I pray. Do not block my way to you; but make my paths straight. I know the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
Now help me to be watchful, to stand firm in the faith, to act like a man—to be strong. May everything I do be done in love. Help me to be a servant to those who serve you. Now refresh my spirit I pray. In Jesus’ name I ask all of this. Amen.
Prayer September 3 2 Kings 8 ........................ Lamentations 4 ............... 2 Corinthians 1-2

Lord, I live in a time when your ministers—your people are not honored. I need your help today. Do not scatter your people O Lord, but rather regard me with love as a child—so my watching and waiting will not be in vain.
Help me to behave as Paul did with simplicity and godly sincerity and with the grace of God. Thank you that you have established me in Christ, you have anointed me and put your seal on me. You have given me your Spirit in my heart as a guarantee. Further, give me the wisdom which only comes from you so I may fully understand your will and purpose for me. In Jesus’ name I ask all of this. Amen.
Prayer September 4 2 Kings 9 ........................ Lamentations 5 ............... 2 Corinthians 3-4
O Lord, I pray you will help me live in a way so I am never cut off from your blessings and destroyed; but rather keep your anointing on me so I may please you. Give me courage to always do your will.
O Lord, I watch and pray for peace. Do not let the joy of my heart cease; neither let my dancing turn to mourning. When there is woe to me, forgive my sins. Now if my heart has become sick, and my eyes have grown dim, then let your light shine out of darkness and let it shine in my heart.
O Lord, I pray that on the tablet of my heart you will write, by the Spirit of the Living God, a letter from you to be read by those seeking a light in darkness. Thank you that I have this treasure in jars of clay to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to me. Thank you that there is freedom where the Spirit of the Lord dwells. These things I ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Prayer September 5 2 Kings 10 ...................... Ezekiel 1 ......................... 2 Corinthians 5-7
O LORD, you always do what you say that you will do. You give justice to those who are evil and mercy to those who do right in the sight of the Lord. Use me I pray to destroy idols and to do whatever you ask of me to advance your kingdom. Let my zeal for you, be seen by you, O Lord.
Help me to go wherever the Spirit goes without turning aside. Help me to be careful to walk in your law and not after my own thoughts and dreams. May I always, in my heart, be prostrate before you, honoring and worshipping you.
I know that in this life I live in a tent and that heaven is my eternal home. I long for my heavenly home. Though I are burdened and groan in this body—help me to take courage for I walk by faith and not by sight. I aim to please you, for I know that I must stand before the judgment seat of Christ to receive what is due me for the deeds I have done. Keep me holy, for that day, in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Prayer September 6 2 Kings 11-12 ................. Ezekiel 2 ......................... 2 Corinthians 8-9

Help me to go where you send me and speak what you would have me say—let others know that I speak your truth. I will not fear man and what he says about me; now will I be afraid of what he may do to me.
Help me to do what is honorable in the sight of God and man. Now help me to sow bountifully that I may reap bountifully. May I abound in every good work.

Prayer September 7 2 Kings 13 ...................... Ezekiel 3 ......................... 2 Corinthians 10-11

And often the house of Israel was not willing to listen to the prophets who you sent to them. For they had a hard forehead and a stubborn heart. Forgive me Lord for every time I did not listen to your word and had a stubborn heart. Help me to receive every word you speak to me in my heart and to hear with my ears.
For I know the weapons of my warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. I can destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God with the help of my God. Do not let my thoughts be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to you; but rather help me to take every thought captive to obey Christ. If I boast, let my boasting be in you alone, O God. For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. May I be an imitator of Jesus Christ. These things I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Prayer September 8 2 Kings 14 ...................... Ezekiel 4 ......................... 2 Corinthians 12-13
O Lord, some of the kings who reigned in Israel who did right in your eyes still did not fully commit to you by destroying all the idols in Israel. Help me to fully do what is right in your eyes. Let me be a man after your heart like David. For the rest of my life help me to live for you.
Lord you gave the prophet Ezekiel specific instructions on how to lie down and how much to eat and drink. He was obedient to your commands. Help me to listen carefully to your voice and to follow exactly what you ask of me, even if it seems extremely difficult for me.
Now Lord I ask that you help me so my boasting is in you only: for there is nothing to be gained in boasting within myself. Let me examine myself to see whether I am in the faith.

Lord much of your word in the Old Testament shows your displeasure with idolatry. It seems that Israel got into more trouble over idols than anything else. Today, more than in those times, the world is full of idols. Many are so subtle that they are hard to define—keep me from all idols, I pray
Thank you for the birth of your Son, Jesus. Let my eyes see your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.” Now keep me for the appointed day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Help me to never devise iniquity and nor give wicked counsel; but rather speak your words truly.

He stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the words of this covenant which were written in this book. Lord, may I keep this same covenant with you.
Help me to never dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see, but see not, who have ears to hear, but hear not, for they are a rebellious house. Ezekiel demonstrated being prepared for exile to them; but they still did not understand. Lord open my eyes and my ears and my understanding so that I may please you.
Thank you Lord that I received your word when it was sown in my heart. Now help me to be one of those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience.

Lord when you sent your disciples out with no staff, no bag, no bread, and no money, you still provided for them and protected them. Let me come after you, deny myself and take up my cross daily and follow you. I know whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for your sake will save it. It would profit me nothing to gain the whole world and lose or forfeit myself.

I fear you, O Lord; for you are able to destroy body and soul. I pray I will not be anxious about my life. For you know what I have need of and you supply it.
