How to pray for courage?

Prayers of encouragement can provide comfort and strength when we are facing challenges or feeling overwhelmed. Whether we are dealing with personal struggles or trying to support someone else through a difficult time, the power of prayer can help us find the resilience and hope we need to keep going. We ask the Lord for the courage to face whatever comes our way, the wisdom to know the right steps to take, and the strength to keep moving forward.

We will print and place your prayer request on the Stone of Anointing; the place where Christ’ body was laid down after being removed from the crucifix and prepared for burial.

God Bless you all for doing what you do! I never could have imagined being able to pray at Jesus’s tomb and by you offering this service, I feel he heard me just the same if I was actually there. Please know how much I appreciate you! God Bless.

Praise God Almighty!My prayers were answered.I suffered hemorrhoids for a month.I prayed very hard and send my petitions to Holy Land Prayer. Truly, the God of Israel is faithful to his promise that I am the God that health thee. I'm thankful for having this service.

I must give you my testimony of miracles after requesting prayer. Regarding my finances. I have received “supernatural” favor on my job with relation to increase in my hours at work after a long “drought” in that department. Favor with my taxes. And I’am now keeping a record of this in my prayer journal. Expecting more to come!!! Thank-you so much.

Tracey

I would like to thank you so very much for your wonderful service! I was amazed when I saw the video of the candle that was lit on my behalf at the Holy Sepulcher complete with my prayer request to JESUS! It made me so happy to know that my Request has reached the Holiest place on Earth and I am sure that GOD honored me the faith that he gave me!

Scott

All thanks and glory to God. My husband and I went through a very hard time I'm 2019, I sent a couple of prayers and through his grace they were answered. I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for giving us the opportunity to have our prayers read at the most holiest place. It has given us so much comfort. May God bless you all. God is good ❤

Thank you for this miracle oh Lord and we appreciate the upcoming testimonies—in Jesus Name I pray.Amen.”

Prayers for protection

I pray that God would protect me from harm and keep me safe. I ask him not to let anyone hurt me physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, or financially. I ask him to keep my enemies at bay and to make them powerless over me. I ask him to shield me from the evil intentions of people who do not want me to succeed. I ask him to watch over my finances and to provide for my needs. I ask that he gives me faith and hope when I am feeling down. I ask that he keeps me humble and teach me how to serve others.

Pray for guidance

Praying helps us to understand what we need to do to live our best lives. When something happens in our life that makes us feel discouraged or confused about where we’re going in life, praying gives us a sense of peace and clarity. Prayer is not just asking God for things; prayer is talking to Him about who He is, how much he loves us, and how he wants to help us become all that we were created to be. Asking God for guidance can be done anytime, anywhere, and any way. We don’t have to go to church or pray in front of a statue of Jesus, we just have to talk to him!

Prayer of encouragement in your faith

Father Lord God, the mightiest of the above and the divine creator of all. We firstly want to thank you for the past days we’ve lived—how you kept us far from harm’s way and sheltered our family. We also want to thank you for uplifting us when we were in doubt of your power and we hope you’ll continue to do so. Lord, like every day, we ask you to renew our faiths in you and never let us waver from our path to Your Kingdom. We will not, by Your grace, fall to any temptation and we’ll stand valiantly as Your sons and daughters in the face of sin. We thank you for the opportunity to have this prayer this morning/night and we exalt your name.

Amen.

Prayer of encouragement, support, and strength for the family

God, as we stand before you today as a congregation, we pray for the sake of this family. We hope, oh Lord, that you empower us with your support and be our pillar of strength. Lord Jesus, we want you to encourage this family as a whole in our times of need. We’re absolutely nothing without you but we’re everything when we stand with you. So, Jesus, be with our souls and once more, give us encouragement in the form of peace, unity, and blessings.

Prayer of encouragement to start the day

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the grace You granted me through the night. You paved a good day yesterday and I worked with Your blessings on me. But now, today is a new day Lord and I need your divine favour. So, as Your presence uplifts me and Your words provides courage when needed. I likewise ask for Your encouragement in our faith to You—so as to be before You tomorrow and talk once again with Your divine being. Thank You for hearing us today—we glorify Your name. Amen.

Prayer of encouragement for healing

Father God, Your divine touch is needed in our lives. A simple touch of the hem of Your garment by the woman in Matthew 9:20 completely healed her of her ailment. We pray not to touch Your garment only Lord. We want You to embrace us and encourage our body, soul, and mind to heal in Your divine shelter. You are the most divine in all of Heavens and we need You to take charge. Exaltations we’ll give after our miracles oh Lord—thank You for our answered prayer, Amen.
